90 MUCH has been said Of the sash
y that 1t has become an extremely
important adjunct TO almost every
fashion. the sash Is not just sash: it
may be tied and fastened in so many
different ways that it needs a whole
book Of instructions to describe it. This
Is particularly the case If the sash is one
that fastens at the front or side. Those
that fasten in the back are far more
conservative in size and arrangement
and they are not So new. The new
sashes are better made ofssilk or satin
cut on the bias. The empire sashes are

First of all, our faithful friend. the

viewed. No helpful friend is more
used and abused than this same sew
Ing machine. How often do we think
to give 1t a drink or bath. Now
both of these things are absolutely
necessary to insure profitable work.

the machine in all its parts with
kerosene. putting it on lavishly. Let
II stand q day or two. then with soft
cloths thoroughly clean every part,

according to the book of directions
which accompanies every sewing ma

the OIL the opportunity to penetrate TO

COLLECT MATERIALS

Be sure that machine needles of vari-
Gus sizes are in stock and cotton ana
sewing silk is not lacking. If the ma
chine carries double thread, have

The next step to take is to overhaul
your wardrobe. Bring out the question

FIND SPIKES IN TRACK
WHERE WRECK OCCURRED
Pennsylvania Passenger Train Is De-
rallied, One Man Is Killed and
Eight or Ten In
juret

HAZLETON, Pa, June 27.-One man
was killed and eight or ten passengers
were injured at Lofty. on the mountain
twelve miles from here, early today by
the wrecking of Pennsylvania passen-
ger train, which is believed to have
been deliberately derailed by the spiking
of the tracks.
The dead man is the engineer, Aaron
Raub of Pottsville.
The injured passengers were brought
to the state hospital here.
The Pennsylvania used the Lehigh
: Valley railroad tracks between Delano
Junction and this city, and the superin-
tendent of the Lehigh Valley says his
men found two spikes on the tracks
placed in such a way as to leave no
doubt that they had been put there to
deliberately wreck the train.
The Pennsylvania train was composed
of a combination car and one day coach
and left Pottsville for Nescopeke at
5:35 this morning. The train Is used
principally by workmen, most Of whom
were miners.
The tracks where the accident oc-
Cured extend along the side of the
mountain.
When the cars left the tracks they
toppled over on the mountain side of
the roadway. Had they fallen on the
outside they would have gone down a
steep embankment of more than fifty
feet.
