Washington, January 1.-THE War
Department has not been Informed as
yet Of the reported Withholding of the
contract for the construction Of forti-
fications In Hawaii for the alleged rea-
son that the Japanese were really the
lowest bidders Investigation here
shows that only a limited amount of

there and the officials see no reason
why any line should be drawn on ac-
count Of the nationality of those who
are to do this work, the. nature of
which can not be concealed SO that
they would hesitate before they re
tected the lowest bid on that account
The principal work now on hand
in Hawaii consists in the construction
OF two sets of mortar batteries for
which Congress has specifically apprO-
priated 100000 One of these batter
les Is at Diamond Head, the great
promontory commanding the entrance
to the harbor at Honolulu. and the
other on the point at the entrance to

ment is resolutely declining to pub |

THE BEAUTY SLEEP.

An English actress who is long past
her 10th birthday and yet is as clear
skinned and bright eyed as a girl, al
ways sponges her face with hot milk
and eau de cologne before lying down
for her afternoon nap. Then she dries
her face thoroughly, puts on loose
wrapper and makes herself comfortable
in a darkened room.
IF one cannot get the proper amount
Of sleep at night" says this actress
''one should make up for the loss in
the daytime"
One woman, who believes in getting
all the fresh air she possibly can
takes her beauty sleep out on the lawn
Of her home. She spreads a rug on the
grass. fixes an umbrella over her head
to keep off the sun, If the sun is shin
Ing, and gets much more refreshing
nap, she says, than If she took it in
doors. Even a slight rain does not keep
her from her outdoor sleep, for she has
an awning large enough to protect her
It's making a new person of me-"
she says. II don't know why 1 don't
become child again, for if feelings
are anything I am five years younger
each time | rise from my grassy couch"
Some women cannot sleep well for
the simple reason that they never do
enough work to make themselves
healthily tired. There are German rest
cures that know how to deal with such
women. They make them work-that
is all. If patient has insomnia she
Is set at sweeping off the garden walks,
raking up the cut grass, at all kinds
of light outdoor tasks calculated to
make her physically tired. And she
does it all cheerfully, because it is the
thing to do, she is told, and soon, to her
great delight, she finds herself ready
for her healthy sleep at night, and
generally quite willing to take a nap
in the daytime also.

figure. There is no habit that will
make a girl so awkward as that Of
holding her arms closely to her sides
or of keeping the elbows at a sharp
angle from the waist line.
Often awkward looking arms may
be traced to unsuitable corsets, which
may be too high or too tight or abso-
lutely the wrong shape. They should
be low enough to allow the shoulder
muscles full play, for unless the Shout
ders can move easily the arms are GER
tain to be held stiffly and appear to be
burdened with superf1uous elbows, and
the consciousness of looking awkward
will cause the most self possessed per-
son to feel so.
"Or the belt may be too tight, al
though the girl may not realize that
the waist is being pinched until she
tries to touch the floor with her finger
tips by swinging the arms straight
from the shoulder. Any girl under 20
years of age should be able to accom-
plish this simple feat at the first trial,
and those who cannot should perse-
we're until they succeed and continue
the practice indefinitely They should
also make point of daily lifting the
arms above the head, for that gives
the chest muscles full play and legnth-
ems the waist"

Jimmy Singer Mistake
Copyright


Young Jimmy Singer, down on Cher
~ street was only fourteen years old,
but had come to have a great admira-
ton for the law. He knew that GER
tain detectives took their whack, and
ne heard professional bondsman af-
firm that the police got divvy on all
his cases. As for pool room men. gam
blers and pickpockets, Jimmy knew
that they owned the town Now and
then there was patrolman or detec-
tive who would not shut his eyes when
there was case Of pocket picking or
con game. but q complaint to certain
politicians soon brought about a trans
fer. At the age Of fourteen Jimmy
was to be apprenticed to a cobbler. He
bolted from home in consequence. He
had made up his mind as to his future
career. He had decided to stand in
with the law.
Jimmy had no sooner bolted than he
began to look around for a job. 1t so
happened that couple of young men
who had just graduated in law had
formed a partnership and hung out
their sign. They didn't want police
court cases, and they didn't want to be
classed among the shysters, but the
want Of better patrons forced them to
appear in the lower courts quite often.
Jimmy made their acquaintance there
He didn't catch them at any shystef
tricks, and he heard certain policemen
sneering at their straightforward way.
The boy didn't give the lawyers credit
for this. He simply took it that they
had trick up their sleeves and were
the sort of men he was looking for.
In a month after he knew them he
was their office boy. He didn't care
how humble the beginning as long as
the aroma of law hung about the place.
He didn't ever expect to be a leading
member Of the bar, but he felt that he
could pick up enough law to enable
him to do as others were doing.
One day the boy picked up pointer.
The partners had been consulted about

MILLINERY CHOICE.

Happily the choice of millinery is
considerable this season. We are not
tied down to one shape, as we were
last summer, when SO in every 100
women appeared in huge mushroom
cloche. 1t is strange that many fash
ionable women remain true to the
cloche shape. But the milliners do
not recommend that the woman who
has to economize, invest in cloche
shapes this spring, as this syIe has
been done to death, and it Is impos-
sfble for it to remain in style much
longer. The cloche shape, slightly
turned up in front and at one side, con-
tinues to be amazingly popular, and
this shape is wonderfully becoming
The upturned brim allows the hair to
be seen to advantage, and attractive
effects may be gained by an artistic
arrangement of soft feathers around
the crown.

LATEST COAT STYLES.

There is a strong tendency in the
fashionable new coats of short or
medium length to dip decidedly at the
back. Shawl points are becoming very
familiar in costumes with little pre-
tension to dressiness. The cutaway
front and pointed back are often joined
in taflor-mades of more or less severe
finish. But they are becoming only to
girlish figures, and if unbecoming
easily become caricatures.
Most of the suit coats of strict tailor
finish are of the semi fitted order A
goodly number are fitted, and now and
then one finds the always useful little
box coat ever so slightly fitted with

big case. If they could win it, they
had their start on the road to success.
The bar to the winning was certain
papers in the hands of a certain citi-
zen. If they had those papers, their
case was sure. Without them it was
no use to take a single step. Jimmy
felt that the success of the firm would
be his success, while failure would
send him adrift. 1t was perfectly nat
ural that he should sit up and take no
tice. He couldn't figure out how the
papers were to be got unless he got
them. The only way he could get
them was by robbing the house. 1t
didn't take him five minutes to come to
decision. 1t might be going a little
further than the police when they per-
jured themselves or a little further
than the shyster lawyers when they
Juggled case, but he would take the
risk. He spotted off the house, hung
around for a few days and then one
night effected an entrance and secured
the papers. He hadn't had much pre-
nminary experience in the burglar
business, but he brought off this trick
like an old hand. He didn't even leave
a half burnt match behind for a de-
tective to pick up and examine through
a microscope and announce that 1t had
been scratched on the right leg Of a
red headed boy with cockeye at ex-
actly the hour Of midnight.
Jimmy had to lie to get the papers
into the hands Of the firm, but that
didn't trouble him in the least. He
had heard shyster lawyers lie a thou
sand times over. He claimed to have
found them on the street, and the
young attorneys drew long breaths
and declared that Providence was sure
~ with them. They won their case
and jumped into Easy street. Jimmy
Singer was not forgotten. He was
patted on the back and called lucky
young dog and his salary raised, and
but for his learning law so fast he
might have held down his Job indef-
initely. After he had been at it six
months he began to give legal advice
and to express legal opinions around
the courts. In fact, he arranged to
stand in with the police on certain
things, but found too late that he could
not deliver the goods. This brought
about strained relations and IN ex-
posure- and the law arm and the

student of law had to part company.
From thence forward for the next
three gears Jimmy travelled. He tray-
eled as a lawyer, as pickpocket, as
a con man, and now and then bur-
glared bit for a change. No, it wasn't
burglary. The law says that entering
an occupied dwelling before sunset is
only robbery, and Jimmy never let
the sun flimflam him. At the end OF
three years he returned to town to
make great mistake. The sun got In
a hurry to go down or Jimmy's watch
was ten minutes off or the witnesses
swore falsely. At any rate, he was
caught with the goods on him and felt
rather homesick until arraigned. Then
he chirked up. The judge was one of
the old law firm. He had stolen the
papers for that firm and had given it
its start. The judge must remember
1t. He couldn't go back on him. 1t
would be black ingratitude. Jimmy
went ahead and made his plans for
the future, and there was a smile on
his face when the evidence was all in.
1t bore hard on him, but the Judge
would find a way. He had seen lots
OF judges find lots of ways.

ten years at Sing Sing for the crime
of burglary
Jimmy is up there STILL He Will tell
you how he tainted away on hearing
the sentence, how he was rewarded
with ingratitude, how a rosy career
was cut short, and he will then add:

POCKET, BUT WHEREe

1t is said that pockets are to re-
turn with the fashions of the spring,
but in spite of the. rumor no one has
Ventured to foretell where these COM
forts to femininity will be placed in
the costume. Is it that they will be
fastened as of old to the underskirt,
or VIII they take their old position at
the placket, or, perhaps, will they be
cunningly placed in the belt of one of
the new semi princess gowns?
Perhaps they will find nesting place
at the end of the long sash ends, so
popular this year, or, again, there is
a possibility they may be sewn to the
hem Of the dress. Of course no matter
where they are it will only be pos
sible to use them to carry the dainty

wheel twisting therefore savored of
magic. But his orders were to look

Soon he thought he could discern an
irregular pink crescent, with the con-
cave side downward, somewhere in the
blackness beyond the bows. Speedily
it was joined by two others equally

Ere long silver gray light began to
dispel the gloom. The two silent
watchers first saw it overhead, and the
vast dome of day swiftly widened
over the vexed sea. The aftermath of
the storm spread a low, dense cloak of
vapor all round. The wind had fallen
so greatly that they could hear the
song Of the rigging. Soon they could
distinguish the outlines of the heavy
rollers near at hand, and Courtenay
believed that the ship in her passage
encountered in the water several mar
row bands of a bright red color. If
this were so, he knew that the phe.
nomenon was caused by the prawn-

"Well, try the foremost Up there /

bank of mist. Don't get into trouble
Come back If you feel you can't man
age it. If you succeed, take the best
observations possible and report"
Courtenay was becoming anxious
now. If he dared let go the wheel he
would have climbed the mast himself.
Walker set about his mission in a
businesslike manner. He threw off his
thick coat and boots and went for
ward. Halfway up the mast there was
rope ladder for the use of the sailors
when adjusting pulleys.
The rest Of the journey was not diff
cult for an athletic man, and Walker
was quickly an indistinct figure in the
fog. He gained the truck all right and
instantly yelled something. Courtenay
fancied he said:
MY God, we-ah on the wocksr'
Whatever it was, Walker did not
wait, but slid downward with such
speed that 1t was fortunate the rig
ging barred his progress.
And then, even while Courtenay was
shouting some explanation, a great
black wall rose out Of the deep on the
port bow. 1t was pinnacle rock high
as the ships masts, but only a few
feet wide at sea level, and the Kansas
sped past this ugly monitor as though
1t were buoy in we'll marked chan

Courtenay heard the sea breaking
against 1t. The ship could not have
been more than sixty feet distant, a
