TOWER TO QUIT IN FEW
MONTHS; HILL WELCOME
Continued from First Page)

ambassador at Berlin is regarded here
aes eliminating that phase of the mys-
terry.
Attention is now centered upon the
mail report from the American embassy
in Berlin. which is now on its way 10
the State Department In order 10
hasten action Secretary Root viii prob
ably cable Tower today directing him
10 wire the substance OF the report.
1t is generally admitted that this
latest phase of the controversy places
Ambassador Tower IN an unenyiable
position. In some quarters il IS held
that his usefulness as the United States
representative at Berlin is now at an
end. Official Washington would not be
at all surprised TO learn Of his recall
at any time
There are several minor features con-
nected with the affair that have been
quite as annoying 10 the State Depart
ment as the discrepancy between Tow
eT's dispatch OF Wednesday and the Of
nCial statement OF the German autnort-
ties.
In the first place the department re-
sents the intimation that IL - TOO ready
10 publish Official correspondence or air
diplomatic scandals in the press. 1t is
pointed out that the publication Of Tow
er's report Of DR.. Hills alleged unaC-
ceptabiliUy originated in Berlin, and not
in Washington, though 1t was reluct-
antly confirmed here after the receipt
OF the press dispatches.
Ambassador Tower is also placed in a
bad light by reason Of his attitude con
corning his proposed resignation The
fact that he ignored the State Depart
menr. that he only made vague reply
TO its query as to the time he proposed
20 retire, and that he neglected 10 COM
muniCa-e with the department. on sew
eUal occasions, in accordance with the
usual rules, had already caused MIN 10
lose favor with Secretary Root.

Although there are IL Europe some
1000 women and girls who earn
living as artists models. il IS strange
to say that there is not ten among them
who possess a perfect face and figure
The few models who fulfill the very
exacting standard set by the best artists
are practically engaged for so long as
their youth and beauty last. This &C
counts for the fact that the same face
and figure frequently occur in popular
artists pictures.-W oman's Life.

How to Apply
the Design

THERE are two ways to apply
L this design to the material
mon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batlste
and the !ike--the simplest method
is to lay the material OYER the de-
sign. and, Will; wcll-pointe-- PEN
Gil. draw over each line.
If your material is heavy. secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it. face DOWN. upon the
material; La the pattern upon tins;
then draw over each lie OF the
raper design with a hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans,
fer paper, you will EnG a neat ana
accurate impression OF the design
upon your material.
There are two poin.s tc observe
in this simple rroccss. II YOU "ouiu
execute it satisfactorily. One Is
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon 1t evenly
at every point.
The second is. when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
ter;al with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot possibly slip dur
ing the operation -,
Transfer paper comes in white
black, blue, red and yellow. l al
wise the use of the lighter coiors
when possible, as the black and blue
are 80 liable to crock.
Do not rest your hand or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint OF
hand or fingers will b. as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

The Old Trail to the Hills

The effort being made by few
pioneers and their friends to preserve
the old trail from Fort Pierre to the
Black Hills, is meeting with consider
able opposition by the many home
steader's along the way.
While we are heartily In favor OF
preserving and throwing all possible
protection around old land marks
dear to the heart of our early settlers
our sympathies are with the small
land owners In this case. The amount
of inconvenience and cost many o1
them would have to put up with In
handling their stock and doing their
farm work In years to come, If this
trail is preserved In its entirety,
would be too great, we think, to justi
fy the undertaking.
Old trails In the more eastern parts
have had to go, though, too, rich In
association to many, and while much
of the land along this trail Is not now
nor never will be as valuable as some
of the more eastern lands, the annoy
ance and inconvenience iof so long and
crooked trail being preserved
through fields and pastures regardless
of surveyed lines, would work hard
ship and expense entirely out of pro.
portion to its value as highway or
landmark. In the rougher places,
along sections OF the historic trail
doubtless will be preserved, and this
should be sufficient, we think. to
satisfy the most of us. us.-Dakota

The plan TO send Tie poor of the
cities TO the farms Of the west Is a
good idea providing tine scheme is
backed by good Judgement and consid-
erable capital. In the first place any
one In the city who Is so poor that
he has to be taken care of by the
county would not be worth much on
: farm. In the second place most of
the city poor know nothing about
farming, especially In the far west,
where Irrigation is largely employed.
Theoretically, the plan is good one,
but practically 1t is subject to critic
ism. No doubt it would be better for
the wards and better for the city il a
large part of the people who are on
close acquaintance with poverty
should be installed on farms, but to
take men and women out of their life-
long element and place them on farms
where there Is hard work and plenty
of 1T would be q problem that might
be harder to solve than theorists i'm
agine.
The man who makes the experiment
should be intelligent and industrious
and have . liking for farm life. He
must have the qualities In him for
the development of skill In his work,
and he will de much better off ii he
has fair measure of business shrewd-
ness. Moreover, though he can make
a little capital go long way If he Is
skillful, money will be great aid TO
him.
The assumption that any man can
run . farm has led to mistakes that
have been costly both In the loss OF
capital and In the loss OF opportunity.
And il the very poor who are In need
Of help seem to have no opportunity
In the city it Is certain that they
would drift back from the farms un-
less they had an aptitude for farm
work and love Of the country.
