right angled triangles which are three
inches on the two even sides are then
cut from stlff and very heavy wrap

with plain and on the other with how-

When they are covered margin OF
paper is left on the equal sides, and
this is REINFORCED by narrow strip OF
muslin. This margin Is turned over and
pasted to the upper side of the card
board, which Is TO form the bottom Of
the pad. The upper part of the pad is
then laid on the lower part. and they
are pasted neatly together. The cor

which will not make the pocket too
long. The pocket must, of course. be
5ust as long as the motif of the design.
The materials needed are three pieces
of cardboard about nine inches long.
The length, however, depends upon the
design of the paper which is to be
used The cardboard Is just the
length OF the design. The three card
boards are of graduated depths. They
are straight on three sides. and CD the
top they are cut in the shape of the
design OF the paper. Sometimes the
top line is straight and rounding. and
again 1t will have large scallops. A
design should not be chosen which has
too small pattern.
All of the cardboards are covered Oh
the outside with the bordered paper
and inside with plain Grape paper.
Perforations are made at equal dis
tances In the three pieces along the
bottom and sides. The perforations
along the bottom are close enough to-
gether to permit Of the sections Of the
pocket being laced together. Only
three holes are necessary along the
sides. Ribbon the color of the flower

Initial action was taken the other

lane of Alameda, Cal, was elected sec
retary. No other officers were named
AS yet no name has been selected for

Mr.. MacFarlane was instructed tc

1--WE viii offer prize, probably
500. to the person who suggests the
best naie for the brotherhood" Mr.
MacFarlane said. 1--WE want a name
that VIII express strenuous Christiani
~. A club viii be formed In every
Christian church in the United States
and the central organization will be ir

sick and death benefits. Members vii
be educated up to bringing their Chris
tianity into politics, and we intend h
make 1t a power for civic morality
We expect to have 100000 members
within three years. The association
will not be restricted to members Of
the Christian church"
Mr.. Long says the churches have
been in need OF an organization tina
would bring men closer to it and in
duce them TO quit the habit OF leavins

THE organization Is planned" h
said. "to give the men good Fellowship

REORGANIZATION OF
WESTERN MARYLAND
Plans Propose An Assessment
Against Stock and An Extension
of the Road.
Assessment

It is expected that plan for the
REORGANIZATION Of the Western Mary
land railroad will be announced with
in 80 days. The committee having
in charge this matter has already
drafted 81 tentative plan, the main fea
lures of which have been Endorsed
by the larger interests in the com
pany.
The plan viii provide for an as
sessnent against the stock, but the
amount OF the assessment has not
been definitely fixed, though it Will
be SUFFICIENT % pay off the receivers
certificates and provide cash for i'm
provements.
II is understood that George j.
Gould and his associates. including
John d. Rockefeller, will control the
property under The reorganization, as
they did prior TO the receiversnip.
Stockholders who pay the assess
nent levied against them viii receive
I. new securities to an amount equal 70
4 the assessment.
To Extend Road.
The plan TO extend the Western
| Maryland to a connection with the
|, Wheeling and L axe Erie has not been
abandoned, reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. It is believed that
Z. H. Hartman, who is supposed to
dominate the Wheeling and Lake
Erie, the WabashPittsburg terminal
and the Belt line will consent TO this
arrangement. If this plan rails, then
the Western Maryland may be extend
ed to Wheeling.
The property IS in excellent condi-
,ticn now, and comparatively little in
the way of improvement is required
4 New heavy steel rails have been laio
practically all the way on the main
line between Baltimore and Elkins
and the roadbei ballasted.
Bush's Work Liked.
The reorganization committee is
very favorably impressed with the
work OF Receiver Bush, and 1t is Prob
able that he will be chosen executive
under the reorganization. He was
president before the property went
into the hands of receivers.
