school board announced that the salaries
OF all of the teachers in Salt Lake Clty
would be increased. A scale or increase
was arranged. BY this arrangement the
teachers receiving the smallest salaries
were given an increase of $40 ana the

Increase of $50 per month, with the m

This increase is TO go into effect in Febru-

Because Of this announced increase in
salaries the board won thet commenda-
ton of the public and this action was
probably factor in the election which
resulted in the reelection of all of the old
members of the board Now il has leaked
out that the increase contained joker.

these the raise meant a total increase Of

the two holidays. Christmas and New

years TO pay the teachers for these two
days. The teachers receiving the maxi
mum salary receive about s4.25 per day
With the $50 always hitherto received for
these two holidays deducted from the her
aided increase the total increase in salary
for these teachers is only $50.
In addition TO this loss to the teachers

IN THE POLICE COURT.


The troubles of ]. W. Woten and J. c.
Weaver will not be downed. Following
the verdict of guilty rendered Wednesday
by Judge Diehl in the case brought by
the city against Woten on complaint of
weaver, sentence was to have been pro-
nounced yesterday. Before Judge Diehl
however, had a chance to pass sentence
Soren X Christensen, counsel for Woten.
made a motion for an arrest of Judgment
on the ground that the complaint in the
case was faulty and void. since it failed
TO properly define the grounds for the
charge of battery as defined in tho Utah
code. Mr.. Christensen held that the code
defined battery as striking one with force
or violence, and contended that the COM
plant failed to show that Woten had
committed any offense under such pro-
Scription.' The points of law were argued
by Mr.. Christensen and Assistant City At
torney E, A Rogers for over an hour.
and the court reserved its decision on the
motion until Saturday morning.
]. c. Farraer, who was arrested for the
theft Of an OVercoat from a buggy on
Main street, was discharged yesterday
by Judge Diehl on motion of Prosecutor
Rogers. Mr.. Rogers explained that Far
raer had promised to return the coat to
the complaining witness and that the lat
ter did not desire to prosecute the case.
Ed Kelly, arrested Wednesday night on
the charge of using abusive language to-

proved to the department that Kelly is a
young man of usual good habits, and that
his actions of Wednesday night were due

night for violating the license ordinance
by peddling phony jewelry. When his

Hair Nets

One of the most important things to woman of fashion is the neatness of her coiffure. How many women might be made to look better if they would only be little more careful about the stray locks that are so unbecoming and un- tidy. The "wind-blown beauty" Is not often seen nowadays, and looks like freak when she does appear. With the lightest breeze the stray locks become errant and she must pat and push the refractory hair in it's place, which is always an awkward thing to do on street car, driving, motoring or in any other state of activity. It appears as if the toilette had not been completed.
 All this may be so easily remedied by the use of the hair net, which not only keeps the hair tidy and in perfect order, but saves one no end of discomfort and inconvenience The net should, of course, match the hair perfectly. and it may be adjusted loosely so that the set hair dresser look' may not be remarked. Hair nets may be purchased at almost any price, ranging from 15 to 50 cents, ac- cording to quality and size. If caution is used one net will answer service for very long time, but it is always ad- visable to have several at hand.

Origin of OK Tail Soup

'The now familiar ox-tail soup is said to have had its origin during the reign of terror in Paris in 17s3," says New Eng land newspaper, "when many of the mo- bility were reduced to starvation and beg gary"
 The abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the tanners, without removing the tails, and in cleaning them the tails were thrown away. One day one of the noble beggars, while happening to pass tan nery, noticed pile of discarded tails, and, asking for one, it was willingly given to him. He took 1t to his lodgings and made what Is now famous-the first dish of OK tail soup He immediately told his friends of the good luck he had had. with the natural result that the tanners were soon annoyed to such an extent by the demand for OK tails that price was put upon them.

leaves. We learned that for the best results the indigo dye should be used before the wool was spun. Whence the old phrase dyed in the WOOL
 "The formula for a blue pot demand ed, besides the indigo, bran, madder and lye, patience, till the pot set beside the hearth to keep it at the right tempera- ture saw fit to "come." Then the dip- ping of the wool began. For a deep blue this dipping must be repeated five or six times, and the pot renewed up'' be- tween times, as the strength of the color was exhausted. The coloring with mad der was less of a circumstance. Grad ually We learned of many other dyes, of leaves and barks and flowers, giving us a variety of soft hues-browns, yellows, greens, orange, and also an excellent black The true green is obtained by dyeing first with yellow dye, and then dipping in the blue pot, but good olive green is given by using hickory bark. Every year we have the yellow dye flower gathered and the "bay leaves" dried and kept for winter use.
 'But to return to the beginnings. When yarn enough for three coverlets had been prepared the next step was to find a weaver of the douoie draft--that Is, of the coverlet material with shotover designs This requires four sets of har- ness III tilt looii iHSttdu oi tNo ao iot plain cloth, and four treaoies as well. The warp is drawn in and the weaving 'tramped' according to a paper pattern which Is pinned up on the front of the loom.
 "A number of women In the cove knew well how to weave plain linsey and jeans, but no one could weave the coverlets. Sixteen miles away, and further from the railroad, we found a family where moth- had of spreads, old and new, to which they were continually adding. As they showed these treasures to us, the variety of designs

were bewildering. At last we chose two patterns and the women undertook to weave our yarn for us. It was an excit- ing moment when, two weeks later. our messenger returned, carrying across his horses back the long roll of weaving. Now came the question whether there was a market for such work. This was soon ascertained. Our first coverlets were sold in few weeks, and the demand for more was enough to justify at least a small start in business. So an enter prising young woman near us volunteered to learn the double draft. A loom was found for sale in the Ivy country, and hauled to us, more wool bought, and more spinners set to work.
 "Soon after this the cove was left to the care of others, while I went to a part of the country more remote from towns and railroads and where the people were begging for schools. The first set tlement was made at Allanstand, and four others have sprung up around 1t on the waters of Laurel It Is in this part of the mountains that most of our knowledge of dyes and weaving has ,bsea gained. for more of the thrifty eid-time ways have been kept. The wS.k is still carried on in Buncombe co.nity. but AL lanstand has become the center of our cottage industries"

 The coverlet material is made to order in both light and heavy weights and in any length or number of lengths wanted
 Bedspreads embroidered in homespun cotton, blue, red and green, on hand woven material, cream white, in original designs, bring in the market from $7.5O to $9.50 each. Fringe for bedspreads, hand made costs 20 cents yard. The heavier fringes knotted, cost $1 a yard.
 The patterns in rugs now seen in many country houses have curious names-Dou- ble Snowfall, Troublesome Knot, Chariot Wheel, Wheel of Fortune, and in the lighter hangings so attractive In teh coun- try house or the bedrooms of the town houses are such patterns as the Rattle snake, Orange Feeling. Whig Rose, Beau ty of Kentucky-all of them of deep sig nifieance, as these patterns tell the story of certain historical and political periods in the early history of this country.
