THE inconsistencies of fashion were
never better illustrated than this
year. Just as one finds rough
tweeds leading in a season when a veri-
is going on, one finds black leader for
dress as we'll as for walking suits just
when the rage for cOlors vas never
stronger.
But the black costume. whether of the
severe tailor order or of the elaborate
afternoon or evening sort, is almost in
variably touched with color. And such
colors as one finds trimming them! A
few seasons ago the combinations would
have made one shudder-strong magen-
tas, green's of medium tone. deep blues
and royal purples. A great many of
the smartest tailor mades are being
made of rough tweeds or herringbone
and chevrOn serges.
The severe tailor made is again in
vogue for afternoon functions, and black
is the fad of the hour. 1t is made with
the inevitable scanty skirt, with its
slash at one side of the front, long. close
sleeves with their naturally short shoul
ders. short waist. high collar and sash.
The lines of the costume are as straight |
As the human figure will allow. The
hips are little larger than the waist.
md the latter point is one of the most
ones of the figure. 1t is.
n fact, lost under the straight falling
kirt which drops from above it. The
flashes of these skirts are usually fin
shed with buttons, often very large

BUILD BETTER ROADS.

Curtis Hill. Highway Engineer of Mis-
souri,, has just issued through the State
Board of Agriculture at Columbia, a
Bulletin which should be studied care
fully by every county and district road
superintendent in the State.
Mr.. Hill is the first to hold the office
of Highway Engineer which was created
by the Legislature last year to improve
the methQds of road building in Missouri.
Much money and labor has been
wasted owing to the lack of Just such
information as Mr.. Hills first bulletin
gives. Good materials have been wasted
through ignorance in the faulty con
struction of culverts and bridges.
The first need of the State in enter
ing upon its new era OF good roads is
skilled and experienced road builders
Trained engineers are as necessary to
good road building as laborers and teams
and loads of dirt
Mr.. Hills bulletin will accomplish
great deal but a school of Highway
Engineering at the State University
would in time do vastly more. There
will soon be created demand for the
graduates of such school as an era OF
road building is beginning in this State
In the meantime a State law requiring
local road supervisors to consult the |
State Engineer before undertaking any
large project would accomplish much
good. Missouri should see that every |
dollar spent on road building is spent
wisely.

VALUE OF MILK AS FOOD.

Few realize the value of good milk
as food. Most persons look upon
it as drink rather than as a food.
Some exhaustive studies on this ques-
tiOn have been made in Massachusetts
by the State Board of Agriculture and
in these it has been found that milk at
6 cents quart furnishes the same
amount of protein as round steak at
sixteen cents and roast pork at twelve
cents per pound.
With milk at ten cents a quart.

The demonstration in honor of DIR.
Koch before the International Congress
on tuberculosis, was merited. 1t also
calls to mind the magnitude of the task
he has tried to perform for his fellow
men. Consumption is still the white
plague" that kills more people than any
other disease. Although in Prussia he
has reduced it's ravages onehalf, the
death rate is still large. In several
American states it is the cause of from
l5 to Is per cent of all deaths. Among
poorer -nOurished nations like China,
is a veritable continuous
scourge, and any man who has lessened
its fatalities to such a considerable de-
gree as DIR. Koch has done, has truly
saved the human race an incalculable
of suffering.

1ROTHS MUST BE WRITTEN
After Easter Verbal Engagements
Will Not Be Allowed by the Ro-
Man Catholic Church.

Cleveland. O.-After Easter morn
ing an edict on engagements and
marriage ceremonies recently issued
by Pope Plus x, goes into effect and
private marriage engagements will be
referred to as IAN incitement to sin
and cause for deception of young and
inexperienced girls" of the Roman
Catholic faith.
For the past four Sundays priests
of the Cleveland diocese have read
the popes decree. Lectures have
been given on the topic. Not only in
Cleveland, but throughout America
the enclyclical becomes mandatory.
Bishop Horstmann said Wednesday:
"The order was read last Sunday for
the final time.
1T becomes effective on Easter Sun
day morning"
The principal features of the edict
are:
only those engagements are con
sidered valid which have been con
tracted in writing, signed by both par
ties and by either the parish priest OF
the ordinary of the place or at least
by two witnesses
The marriage must be with the con
sent of the priest of the parish in
or both have lived for at least month
If neither party has a fixed abode
the marriage may not be performed al
all, except with permission of the
priests superior

Exports of Farm Producte

How much of truth is there in the
assertion that American farmers are
sunering for lack of foreign markets
and hence demand a reduction of our
tariff as the price of gaining a larger
sale abroad for their products? Of
hclal statistics do not bear out the
claim. For the seven months ending
January, 1908, our exports of food.
stuifs amount to $25S,@91 ga. OF this
sum breadstuffs furnished s142.3SO.
lS7; meat and dairy products, $685.
3oIS27, and cattle, hogs and sheep,
$17G53, $50.
This total of $25S, 391 ,644 of eXport.
ed food products is the largest for any
corresponding seven months hereto
fore known.
American farmers further contrib
uted to the export trade in the same
seven months raw cotton of the value
of S31G,SG2, ,105. Add this to the s25S..
SJ1,G44 of food products and we find
that in seven months the total exports
OF commodities grown and produced
on American farms were valued at
$575,253, ,749.
The truth of the matter is that
American farmers are selling to for.
eigners all that they have left after
the American demand is supplied, and
at exceptionally good prices, too.

TWO OCEAN LINERS
MEET IN CHANNEL
THE MONTEREY AND DANISH
STEAMER UNITED STATES
COLLIDE IN LOWER BAY.
BOTH ARE BADLY DAMAGED
No Lives Lost and No One Injured
So Far as Reported - United
States Most Seriously
Injured.

New York City-Two ocean liners,
the Monterey of the Ward line,
bound for Havana, and the Danish
steamer United States of the Scandi-
navian-American line, bound for Co
penhagen, collided in the main ship
channel in lower New York Bay on
Thursday. Both vessels were dam
aged but no lives were lost and no
one, so far as reported, was injured.
The Monterey had her stern damaged
and several Of her bow plates loos-
ened, but she was able to return to
her dock, where her passengers dis
embarked. They will be forwarded
to Havana by another steamer, for 1t
is probable that she will have to 70
into dry dock for repairs.
The United States was more se7f-
Ously damaged. A large hole was
stove in her hull on The starboard sido
abaft the engines. and SO threatening
was it's nature that it was deemed
wise to run her aground on a bank
on the channels edge. There the
steamer is resting easily tonight, the
weather being clear and calm. Sew
eral wrecking tugs are standing by.
Temporary repairs will be made and
then the vessel will be pulled off into
deep water so that she can return to
the city for permanent repairs. There
are 80 first-class, 80 second and about
400 steerage passengers aboard the
United States. 1t is probable that
they will remain aboard over night,
for there appears to be no danger in
their so doing.
There were 25 first cabin passen-
gers, II intermediate and six second
cabin passengers on the Monterey at
the time of the accident. No great
excitement occurred on either vessel,
according to eye witnesses of the col
| lision, and fearful passengers were
quickly Gained by the ships officers.
| who gave it out that there was no
| question of their safety on such a
clear day and with a handy shore.
Stories as to the cause of the col.
lision and the responsibility therefor
| differ. The United States, accord
| ing to the accounts, steamed down
! the bay in the wake of the Monterey
But after going by the quarantine sta
| ton the Danish steamer passed the
| American steamer and it was just
after this that the accident occurred
80 +ba United States
| had to check herself sudtlrnly TO os
| cape running down a schooner and
| before the Monterey, which was close
| behind, could be stopped the collision
| occurred Others were inclined to
| blame the officers of the United States
| for passing the Monterey in the con.
| fined limits Of the ship channel and
say the collision should be laid to
this.
