the sacredness of the writ in which it
originated, the epithet "unclean"

by the Home in June of this year The
message was part of a biennial report
to the state assembly. Couched in the
statistical terms characteristic of
legislative documents, it announced
practically that six lepers out of
total of sixty-two had been cured at
the Home in the past two years. This
portion of the report was included in
ten words as follows:
Discharged cured-one."
Practically wei and ke-t for OBJ
servation--five."
No explanation of these cures and
no claims for special credit in max.
ing them were prt forth by the report
such modest brevity is characteristic
of the manner in which, during the
twelve years of its existence, the
Home has been quietly stripping lep
rosy of its terrors.
This success is due in part. at least
to the impressive fact that the Louis
lana Home is one of the few places in
the word where a leper, once his NAL
ady is known to the public. is treated
with the consideration due a human
being. The physicians in charge do
not claim to have done much more
than to apply remedies recognized for
many years past as beneficial to lep
rosy. The important new factor in
troduced at the Home has been reg

In the formative period of childs

first thing to look to-not to mawkish

led 10 his success in business is also
the history o. that boon of comfort
known to the modern woman as the

In photographed sketch at the

Green Hats in New York.
The New York Press.-The green
hat has arrived. and apparently to
stay. Its ubiquity reminds one Of
the old riddle:
Twas whispered in heaven,
Twas muttered in hell,
for the green hat is restricted to no
locality, age or occupation. It drifts
down FIFTH avenue surrounding the
shining locks of jeunesse doree, 1t
wanders up the Bowery. damned over
the eyes of the fox "Bowery boy"
it strides dramatically along the Ri.
alto, the golfer wears it, the motorist,
the "old sport" the school boy and
his teacher. Possibly the clergy
may be exempt, no statistics having
been taken. The green hat thus far
appears only in the soft variety and
the sensitive soul pauses shrinkingly
before the thought of green derby
hat, but on looking over an assert
ment of tan and brown stfffs takes
courage and boldly asks, why not
green also?" The green hat is al
most universally becoming, provided
the tone is on the myrtle, not the
olive. AS an educator of color sense
in men-who usually have firM be-
lief in amy color so it is red'-the
green hat may prove invaluable.
Alarmists may see it giving rise TO
the absorption of the masculine mind
in color studies, care of the complex
ior. cod creams and skin foods, but
cheerful, artistic soul rejoices in this
relief to the general somberness of
male attire, and knows it has led to
the green suit as well. Haberdashers
have done their utmost in window dis
plays. il nowhere else, to point the
way for more lively dressing among
men. Why shouldn't man be a sym
phony in brown, if his hair and eyes
give him the basis for it? Why not
also in green? The business man in
dark blue suit and half hose, with light
blue shirt and handkerchief, and blue
tie in harmonizing shade, is a recog-
nized institution of our land. The
combination OF buff shirt and brown
suit produces a gentle ecstacy in the
breast of the color lover, and tones or

Large Force Leaves City Today TO
Survey New Mexico Central
Extension.

The first step toward active con-
struction OF the Albuquerque Eastern
was made this morning. when ]. r.
Farwell, chief field engineer for the
New Mexico Central company, left
the city with a surveying corps OF
fifteen men and three wagons, loaded
with supplies and camp equipment.
Mr.. Farwell will drive straight to
the coal fields, but the headquarters
camp OF the field operations will be
made on San Pedro creek, a short
distance from Hagan On the line OF
the survsg.
The former survey did not meet
with the approval of C. II. Culber-
son. Mr.. Culberson said that 1t was
on too heavy a grade. The survey
to be made now will be on almost
the same line as the old one. but 1t
will be easier by reason Of deeper
cuts. The present corps will be as
sisted by two additional corps as
soon as the men and equipage can
be secured. The tents are being
brought here from Denver. AS soon
as the Hagan line is completed, work
will be started on the Albuquerque
branch. Much OF the construction
machinery Is at MoriartS ready to be
manned. Thi smachinery consists OF
two small locomotives and a steam
shovel. These VIII be put in opera
ton as soon as the final survey is
completed. which will be within a
few weeks.
