The green fronted store has this legend
on its window: "Scuola d'Industrie lta-
liane' Ii is the place where the young
women Of the Italian colony have a chance
to display the needlework for which
their sisters in Italy are famous. But
the strange thing about IL is that they
are able to adapt the work with which
they are familiar by early training and
heredity to American uses.
Lacework is most in evidence. The
young RIGA matrici do work which has
the artistic merit OF Aaces made abroad,
hut which is peculiarly fitted for Ameri-
can buyers. Lace which has the ear
marks Of old pieces is converted into
caps for American babies, and embroid-

he visited every noow and corner
of Europe.
In getting out the first announce
ment of the death of Queen Victoria
he secured one of the most notable
beats in newspaper history.
Acting as field correspondent for
the Newspaper Enterprise associa-
ton Mr.. Vandercook made several
complete tours of Europe, northern
Africa and Turkey in Asia. His
articles on conditions in the Balkan
states, Finland and Russia attract
ed wide attention. Character
studies that he made of the sover-
, eigns of the old country might al
most be called classics.
In 1903 Vandercook was recalled
to this country to take leading
part in the direction of the Scripps-
McRae and Publishers Press asso-
Citations. He was for eight months
manager of the Publishers Press
and was called to the eJitorship of
the Cincinnati Post. His editorship
was marked by the great campaign
against Geo. B. Cox. the political
boss of Cincinnati, who was over
thrown in the face of tremendous
odds.
In 1906, when the Scripps-McRae

dicted that Albert Held would
abandon his fight to open that
street. Held said he wouldn't.
Cannon said that as much as the
railroad loved to part with its
property he did not believe 1t
would do it to enrich Held or any
one else.
The other matter which was up
for discussion last night was the
opening Of Third av. Mr. Cannon
offered alternative propositions Of
opening the street on the start AMI
digging under the tracks 10 or IL
feet. or agreeing in the ordinance
to open it within a stated period
II it was done now, he said, the
company would be compelled to
pay damages, AMI again assessed
later when elevation was accom-
plished and 1t was necessary to
make the street level again.
The council devoted the meeting
to listening to what was said. Mr..
Cannon figured that it would take
two and half years to complete
the work of separating the grades.
