Hi Henry, known from one end

property and left on this morning.

Denver to see his minstrel organiza-
ton perform and then go on to New
York on a business trip.
The big, jolly minstrel man and
everybody's friend carried in his peck
ct credentials, signed by Mayor John
M. Haines, showing him to be a rep
resentative of Boise at the American
Mining Congress to be held in Pitts
burg next month.
Hi Henry did not know when he
reached this city in his big White au-
tomobile hiatt he was to be represen-
tative of the capital city at the con-
gress, but later, in conversation with
the city's chief executive, he promised
to make the side trip, perfectly will
ing to pay his own expenses that he
might tell of the greatness of the
Gem state of the mountains. Dele
gate papers were made out for him at
once.
Il am more than anxious to repre-
sent your city at the congress, said
Mr.. Henry to representative OF this
paper. 81 am glad of the opportun-
ity to tell my friends and others OF
this wonderful country and what they
may do for themselves and the state
if they become interested in its devel-
opment.

not much on making speech, but III

way that will leave no misunderstood

Furthermore, feel proud that

development of his coal mine a

hopes of some time in the near futur
bringing coal to Boise that could b
sold at not more than SIS per ton.

He has given some thought, he sale
to the construction of tramway froi

MIR. SecreSt'S Views as to
Supt. Of Education Endors-
ed by Editor Hamel.

Kershaw Era: The letter of
Mr.. L. w. Secrest, of Van Wyck,
In the Lancaster News Of March
1S, making suggestion of the
kind man needed for superin-
tent of education, is a most sem
sible Que and deserves the seri-
Gus consideration of every voter.
1t is not only essential that we
have a good man for this office,
but thoroughly equipped man.
If education Is worth anything
at all it is worth everything and
no community is doing itself or
its children justice that does not
place the highest estimate upon
the cause.
It's important that the most
competent teachers be secured
to teach the schools, and it is of
paramount importance that the
head OF the educational system
in a county be just as we'll
equipped as any teacher in the
county and that he devote his
full time to the work. But in
order that such an one can be
secured and his full time be Civ
en- to the work the salary must
be made adequate. No man who
can get thousand or twelve
hundred dollars for teaching
nine months will be willing to
give twelve months service for
seven or eight hundred dollars.
We believe that the method of
selecting superin end nts should
be changed. That, ins cad OF
being elected by the popular
vote, it would be far better to
have them selected by the boards
of the various school distric is
who are charged with the duty
of selecting the teachers of the
county, and have in charge the
welfare of the schools.

Fashion Notes.

"Fashions are changing" says
Grace Margaret Gould, the fash
ion editor, in the April Woman's
Home Companion. "The new
idea emphasizes the simple,
classic forms of dress. Paris is
looking to ancient Greece for
her inspiration. Surely that is
stepping back a bit. Neverthe-
less, the new gowns are extreme
ly artistic, even though it will
be hard to make them appeal to
the practical, economical Amer
lean women. They are charac.
terized by graceful, clihging lines,
and generally are one piece mo
dels.
The princess dress is a good
illustration of the modified
Greek effect. 1t is made of one
of the rough silks, which are so
fashionable this season, and in
a shade which suggests bronze
as the coloring. The gown would
also look we'll developed in olive
silk voile.
IN making the costume, the
sh ortwaisted bodice is mounted
on a fitted guimpe, which may be
OF filet net or all.over lace, dyed
to match the color of the fabric.
The bodice is made with two
plaits on the shoulders, back and
front, and it is cut round at tin e
neck and has large armhole,
though not in the extreme Jap
anese effect. Rounded revers
which extend over the guimpe,
give a touch of novelty. They
may be in the same shade as the
gown or tint lighter.
The graceful Empire skirt is
gored and extends above the
walstiine, where it is also mount
ed on the guimpe. The skirt is
attached to the lower edge of
the bodice. Where the joining
occurs a band OF the material is
applied, or piping Of satin, or
an embroidered band may be
used. The skirt has Gemi
train and at the back falls in
triple box plat.
A gown of this sort made of
soft black satin would be er-
tremely beautiful using cream
net for the guimpe and darring
it in dull art shades of silk
