HALO THE LATEST
FAD FOR MY LADY

Chicago. July 24.-Women nave in
aided heaven for the newes fad.
rs my halo on straight?"
The modern halo, like all up to date
~conveniences, is easily adjustable,
quickly attached and promises to be
fashionable. The odor of sanctity,
however, does not go with the halo,
though a little rim of gold adds
a Madonna-like effect to certain
charming faces, and when made of dia-
mcnds scatters an almost unearthly
light.
The fashionable halo is a slender
circlelet of gold with a filling Of silver,
and attached to the back is a co1nbin-
alton which holds it in place on the
head.
When the halo is placed upon the
hair it hovers lightly over 1t like a
sanity aura.

NO MORE WOMEN AS
I. PRIVATE SECRETARIES

Washington, July 26.-A sensation
has been created in Washington by
an order issued by Secretary Wilson
prohibiting he employment of women
in the agricultural department as pri-
waite secretaries to heads OF bureaus
and chiefs of division.
The women in the government de-
partment who have been pointing with
pride to reports from the civil service
bureau and to interviews with promi-
nent officials commencing their eff
cheney, are shocked that Wilson at this
time should step in and restrict their
employment
Some of them assert that he in try
ing to protect them from temptations
to which they have been exposed as
private secretaries, has gone too far.
They declare the records prove that
women are more efficient and in all
respects more satisfactory as govern
ment clerks than men.

BIG BUGS ARE RAISED
TO APPRECIATE U S

Chicago. July 24.-Big bugs hoped
into prominence today. They are fond
OF music and do things which refute
the Darwinian theory, so it is declared.
They are Of enormous size and are
wonderfully colored.
They nave been raised. after an ex-
haustive series of experiments at the
University of Chicago. by Professor
William Lawrence Tower. who says
that the larger the bugs grow the
more sensitive they become to musical
sounds.
The common potato bug was selected
as the medium for the scientific work.
Out of this insect he has evolved a
monster creature unlike the original
and upon which he has written. under
the patronage of Andrew Carnegie. a
treatise entitled An Investigation Into
the Evolution of the Chrysomelid Bee
ties of the Genus ~Leptinotaisa.
Hidden behind the q of scientific
facts in the book lies, scientists say,
a surprising refutation of the Dar-
WiniQn ti-0ly.

BATHER ATTACKED
BY HUGE SHARK
FIREMAN OF ARIzONAN HAS TER
RIBLE EXPERIENCE IN SURF AT
SALIVA CRUZ.

SALIVA CRUZ, June 2O.-The
arrival of the big steamer Ari-
conan yesterday brought narrowing
tale of a battle between Frank Fonda,
a member of the crew and a shark in
the waters at Salina Cruz, in which
the shark with its teeth tore the fore
arm almost off the unfortunate sailor
Three fingers we're ground in the mas
sive Jaws of the big fish, while Fon-
da's right foot was almost severed.
The tragedy occurred on a hot day
while the Arizonan was lying at Sail
ma Cruz. About forty members of the
crew went in bathing among the
breakers. Fonda's companions OBJ
served him waving his arms wildly
in the air as If to beat off something
and then sink beneath the waves
They thought, however, that he was
playing tie drowning" joke and
laughed.
Soon the water where Fonda had
been swimming became dyed a blood
red, and the mans companions secur
ed a boat and put out to save him.
As they approached the spot where
the blood colored the water, there was
swish, and the shark, coming to the
surface, rolled over, displaying it.

could plainly see a piece of Fonda's
foot. Two of the men beat the shark
off with oars, and then, diving
brought to the surface the mutilateC

He was taken ashore and was found
to be still living. A litter was made
upon which Fonda was placed an6

HOW COTTON NEWS
WAS OVERHEAD
CURTAIN WAS USED FOR
THE PURPOSE OF MAKING
SIGNALS.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-In the cot
ton leak cases today, witness Van
Ripper, the New York broker described
in detail how a window curtain was
used as a means of signaling or tele-
graphing about what was going on in
the Government cotton statistic sane
tum.
Another feature of the testimony
went to demonstrate that the voice of
Holmes prevailed in the councils of the
statistical bureau and that his oral
arguments were more powerful than
the figures, which do not lie. An in
teresting sidelight on this feat of
Holmes was that he was arguing a
gainst official figures in favor of the
bear" market and Theodore H. Price
Of New York, who has been mentioned
several times in connection with this
case, in is alleged, that time was on
the bear side of the market.
An effort it is said, will be made to
have the case thrown out of court on
the broad grounds that there is no law
to punish Holmes, even if found guilty.

WILEY PASSES ON
BENzOATED PIES
FINDS MOTHERS KIND is NO
MORE AND MACHINE-MADB PAS
TRY is POOR STUFF.

WASHINGTON, June 19-Dr. Wiley
chief Government chemist, steely Of
eye, hard of heart, unyielding of pur-
pose, has been looking into pie, and
circumstantial report declares that his
verdict is against it.
If pie is to be examined from the fell
lowship of prandial properties, it will
be one more alarming testimonial to
the menace of concentrating tenden-
'cies. Time was when pie was as hon
est as our mothers knew how to make
it; wholesome, toothsome and alto
gether desirable, it appealed to the pal
ate without offense to the integUments
of the alimentary tract.
Then pie became cOmmercialized 1t
was trustlfed, financed, exploited, de-
graded. Benzoate of soda was intro
duced into it, Machines were invented
to manufacture it. 1t was turned out
by the million
Thus far the evidence is largely cir
cumstantial Some yeeks ago it was
announced that DR.. Wiley, as chief ex-
ecutioner under the pure food law,
was investigating benzoate of soda. 1t
transpires that instead of long and
laborious treatise, DR.. Wiley's conclu-
sions about benzoate of soda have
been summarized into brief and sue
cinct statement of two or three para
graphs.
