come TO the notice Of thousands each
day, just as a downtown exhibit or
ores in Reno would attract attention

representation in California, just as
in the Seattle fair will be a notable
neglect of opportunity and give cause
for avoidance of the state by mining

Goldfeld People Interested.
Mr.. Nicholas spent a busy "a hours
in the camp, and while here, prior to
having for Las Vegas, held long con
ferences with a number of Goldfeld
gentlemen, who are arranging to take
up lands in various parts of the state
under the Carey act. No less than three
conferences were held with as many
different interests along this line, and
if one followed up the men of money
and influence yesterday afternoon and
last night, and gained an insight into
their doings, he would have thought
that mining had been forgotten, and
that potatoes and corn, and berries, ap
pies, grapes and alfalfa-as well as
hogs and chickens-were the principal
things of interest in the greatest gold
camp on earth.
"Hello, ST, how's crops?" bids fair
to be a common salutation in Goldfeid

Monday. November 1, Vice Presi-

Dickinson will deliver addresses before

dress the convention, which will ad-

1t is expected that the resolution

the gulf will have the approval of the
President and the senators and con-

tives than many places where the
world has been taught to look for
health. The mills may not be per-
feet, for human as well as local limita-
tons will not permit us to attain unto
perfection, but we may boldly pro-
claim that the mills are safe places of
occupation from health point of view
and that the mill officials are interest
ed in and intent upon the maintenance
of sound health among the operatives.
and we are not only justified in CAIN
ing this, but we may safely challenge
the world to disprove our statements
Mr. Winslow credited the great adj
vance in the health conditions of
Southern workers to the fact that new
factories now are constructed and old
ones remodeled with the physical vel

together with the personal interest

NEW ORLEANS, October 21.-
Typical of the rapidly growing pub
lie demand for improved inland water
freight routes, the convention of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterways
association which is to be held in
New Orleans October 20, 80, and Nov
ember l and 2, will break all records
of similar gatherings both in the mat
ter of attendance and prominence of
the men who will come as delegates.
Headed by President Taft, more sen.
ators, foreign diplomats, heads of de-
pArtments, congressman and leaders
in varied lines of endeavor will come
to New Orleans to take part in the
proceedings than have ever before
been gathered together for similar
purpose on American soil
The report of the inland waterway
| commission on the water-carried CON-
| merce of Europe, which is expected
| to be made to the President just be-

show, among other things, that with
comparatively insignificant streams
Holland, France and Germany have
succeeded in building up a mon"ter
and hugely profitable commerce, and
| at the same time saving shippers
more than two-thirds of rail-haul cost
1t is highly probable that the report
will also show that this great saving
has given Europe huge comparative
advantage over America in most Of
the foreign markets. With this date
before it, the convention will be ii
the best position in its history to OBJ
tain proper recognition from Congress!

Save Scrubbing Brushes.

Bad usage is, more often than not,
responsible for the short life of a
really first-class scrubbing brush. Aft
er using the brush, never lay it up
side down, as any moisture on the
bristles will sink into the back and
make the brush soggy. For the same
reason the household broom should
never be placed in the corner with
the straw part upward. Instead,
fasten it to a catch in the wall by a
piece of string tied firmly to the end
of the handle or run through a hole

DEFENDS Child LABOR IN
COTTON MILLS OF COUNTRY
Southern factories, and especially cot
ton mills, the address was of more
than local Importance.

Southern factories, and especially cot
ton mills, the address was of more
than local Importance.
Mr.. Winslow's position was that
the health and morals of the employees
were greatly betered through their
employment in the mills. He contend
ed that the first thought of the mill
owners was the safeguarding of the
health and well being of their workers.
This, Mr.. Winslow frankly acknowl-
edged, was not prompted so1e1y by
philanthropy. He acknowledged the
good health of the empoyes was of
the greatest Importance to the owner
of mill.
Good health among the operatives
is an asset of value to the manufact-
urer," he said. 1T means more and
better work. The knowledge of this
fact explains the increasing oversight
of the operative, both in and out CT
the mill. His physical, moral and
! spiritual health are being considered
so carefully today that the old-time
prejudice against employment in the
mill is fading from the public mind
The cotton mill as place for employ
ment has passed the stage of expert
ment and has outlived the spirit Of
/ prejudice so manifest

from letter written by Dr.. c. w.
Stiles, of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
and addressed to him last June. In
this letter DR.. Stiles defends the EN-
ployment of children in the mills, hold
ing such employment infinitely bet
ter than existence in the insanitary
dwellings of the people in the sand

Mr.. Winslow quoted DR.. Stiles as
saying that he would much rather
place his ten-year-old doughter in the
spinning room of a cotton mill than
send her to the insanitary surround
ings to be found on the average ten
ant farm in those sections.
Mr.. Winslow proceeded to quote the

NEW CURTAIN IDEAS
MAY BE MADE FROM CHEESE
CLOTH AND MUSLIN.
Lovely Window Hangings and Por-
there's That Any Bright Girl Can
Devise at Small Cost Of Time
and Money.

To the woman who is her own
home decorator, the window curtain
furnishes new opportunity. Women
500 years ago used to spend a life
time embroidering these hangings.
The modern woman would scarcely
think of making q life work of tapes
try.
She cares more for bold. sketchy
designs, that make good effect with
the minimum amount of work.
For summer homes, in particular,
there are very attractive curtains
and portieres that may be embroi-
dered at small cost of time and money.
Ordinary materials like unbleached
muslin, dotted muslin, cheesecloth or
sheer lawns can be used, while for
portieres or outer curtains, cretonnes,
art linens, striped ticking or galatea
and cotton or linen taffetas in plain
colors give good results.
A girl last winter worked set for
the living room of her country home
that have called forth more admira-
ton than curtains costing three times
as much generally receive.
The room being done in soft gray.
| the curtains were made of gray
cheesecloth of a fine quality. Down
one side and across the bottom of
each curtain was border four inches
wide of scattered conventionalized
leaves outlined and darned in a soft
blue-green.
| The straight outer lines, of the bor-
der were outlined and the spaces be-
tween leaves also darned in. But
| four colors were used, all in the
loveliest pastoral tints of green, blue,
dull pink and yellow. At intervals of
ten inches on the border was large
six-petaled flower, the edges of the
petals extending half inch or more
on each side of the border. This was
worked solidly in a creamy white,
shaded with green, the centers filled
with yellow French knots.
Heavy mercerized cottons of high
sheen were used for the embroidery,
and with the exception of flowers
which were worked in shaded Ken
sington stitch, the work was done in
outline for the edges and plain run
ming stitches about quarter of an
inch long to fill up all the empty
spaces and give glossy, solid-looking
surface
A girl with any small pretension al
drawing could design such border
for herself. Draw two straight lines
four inches apart as a foundation o.
border, scatter across it diagonally
from edge to edge a conventionalizeC
vine of any long-pointed leaf; connec
by stems an eighth of an inch wide
| and at ten inches cross band with sin
gle flowers, such as nasturtium, wild
rose or chrysanthemum.
The design is first outlined and ther
filed in with the darning stitches
care being taken that the coloring i!
arranged to bring out each separate
1 part. This border, simple as it is
} gives opportunity for original colo
effects. Ii desired the flower could b.
: one used in wall paper or border.

fortress after the ships had fully en-
tered the harbor
AS the two ships made their way
through the narrow harbor entrance
the bands on their quarterdecks
played Cuban national airs. The mu
sic, which could be heard on shore
plainly. was greeted with desultory
applause from the thousands of peo-
pie who had crowded down to the sea
walls Of the city.
Today is the eleventh anniversary
