PREP AIRING FOR
BAD MEN
SHERIFFS OF STATE GETTING
READY TO HANDLE CROOKS
GENERAL MOVEMENT WEST.

The police and sheriffs of eastern
cities are sending out notices that
the movement of the crooks has al
ready begun There is a general
westward movement, these people be-
ing attracted to the west by the big
Seattle fair. Photographs and des-
criptions of all these who are known
to be coming are being sent to the
police officers. Sheriff Ferguson and
his deputies are making a study of
these, so that they may be able to
identify them when they reach here.
Officers all through the western coun-
try are to cooperate with the view
to furnishing the best possible pro-
lection to the people.
The movement of the crooks has
begun early. They drift west from
place to place, plying their trade. 1t
is expected that they will come with
in striking distance of Seattle, hang
around until the exposition opens,
and then take advantage of a favor
able opportunity to get in among the
big crowds.
Already a larger number of drift
ers have been passing through this
valley than ever before. Many OF
these men are known to be suspicious
characters, although there are no
definite charges against them. The
policy that will be followed with
these men will be to keep them on
the move. They will not be permit
ted to congregate in any of the
smaller cities, and where such pre-
parations are made as in Wenatchee
they will have no opportunity to do
much work.

Fatal Fruit Pest.

Provincial Fruit Inspector Cum
bingham received batch of exceed
ingly unwelcome visitors last week.
says the Revelstoke Mail-Herald.
They came from France, and the
family name is euproctis chrysorr-
heoa. These are nothing more noE
less than the caterpillars of the
dreaded brown tail moth that is at
present causing CONSERVATION among
fruit growers and nurserymen in On
tario.
At present British Columbia is free
from the pest, and fortunately there
is but small danger of it's getting in,
as every imported tree gets individual
examination. The batch found came
in a packet of nursery stock from
France.
These pests not only ruin the fruit
and forest trees, but the hairs from
the caterpillar, if they get on hui
man being, cause serious illness, and
if the person affected happens to be
in poor health at the time, most like
ly death will ensue. The eggs are
laid 200 and 800 at a time, on the
under side of leaves early in July
and in short time thereafter the
tree affected will have its leaves skel-
etonized. The caterpillars also are
great travellers and have a bad habit
of dropping from the trees to buggies
and automobiles and thereby getting
a free ride to new scenes of opera
tions.

worse curse could get into British
Columbia orchards w

Don'ts For Girls

Don't, when school days are. over, fancy that your education Is finished It is only just beginning. School merely teaches us how to learn; but the great CT part of our real education comes after, and whether or not we end up by being well educated women depends almost entirely on ourselves. Wise people never regard their education as finished" They are always on the lookout to learn something new.
 Don't let a love of sport and outdoor amusement lead you to despise needle work and indoor occupations. The woman whose interests are all outdoor can never be nome maker in the best sense of the word.
 Don't fancy that because you don't happen to be good looking you cannot be attractive. Some of the most attractive women mentioned in history have been absolutely plain; they merely learned how to make the best of themselves-and so can you.
 Don't if you find it difficult to get on with people, excuse yourself by saying that you are ESQ reserved" It Is the surface impression that strangers judge by, and not one in thousand will take the trouble to try and find out if you are interesting and pleasant below if you are cold and reserved on the sur face. Therefore, the thing to do is to determine to be pleasant, even if it does mean a big effort.

Heroines of Fiction

An amusing discovery" has been made by a magazine writer who takes her pen in hand and solemnly sets down that all the heroines of fiction are children. It seems this Is stretching point in favor least, instinctivey shun the ridiculous and order their own little affairs with more than modicum of common sense.
 This Is far more than can be placed to the credit of the heroine of the "best sell er," and 1t seems this profound critic is similarly at fault when she attempts to fix the most attractive age for & woman. She holds 23 to be the ideal time of life, unless the woman is college bred. The college bred woman at 23 Is described as top heavy, and 1t is reasoned her attrac- tive age will not come until she is 33. This Is an odd turn of philosophy.
 To argue out to a fine point, this crit ic's educated woman practically sees @ decade of attractiveness sliced out of her life simply because of her training. If that is the case the sooner women's col leges are torn down the better. But there is a belief the problem may be left safe ly to the women themselves. The one who 33, and if a woman must wait for attrac- tiveness until the latter age, then lucky
 is the man who escapes her snares.
 This magazine critic offers many aids to diversion. Thus, she holds that the bachelor girl is at her best at 30, but | with added experience, at 35 "she can play upon the weaknesses of mankind as upon a harp with a thousand strings"

Housewarming Pleasant When 7 Done In "Homey" Way

It is so much better to do things in a pleasant, '1homey" way than to attempt a great splurge with caterer and florist and an aftermath of big bills to settle. You will not require the services of a hired musician, for time will certainly not hang heavy on your hands. If your husband can do fairly good lettering, let him prepare a big poster to hang over the entrance door, This Is the House That Jack Built and under it the old English motto, "rhe Ornaments of a House Are the Friends Who Frequent it."
 Just outside the front door have a big bowl garlanded with vines and above it the printed legend, This Is the Malt That Lay in the House That Jack Built" The contents of the bowl may be simply a fruit punch, if preferred, the name of the vessel holding it being suggestive. even if the drink be non-alcoholic. Just beyond the malt you can have plate of choco- late mce large one having the inscrip- ton, "This Is the Rat That Ate the Malt" etc.
 If you have a family tabbie and can confine <her to her basket or cushion, tie a ribbon round her neck labeled, '"This Is the Cat" etc.
 Follow this with the "Dog." real ol papier mache, and the Cow With the CrdmNed Horn" For thls you can prob ably borrow a picture from your loca butcher. Next, naturally, would come the Maiden All Forlorn.' . character you might assume. dressed in q pretty milk

Fashions One Must Not Copy

Both Queen Alexandra and the Princess of Wales dispose of dresses which they do not intend to wear again by having them taken. to pieces and the materials distributed among members of their households. There is an inviolable rule, however. In Buckingham palace and at Windsor, that the recipient of any royal fnery is never, in any circumstances, to wear a gown in the form in which 1t is worn by the Queen.
 Often her majesty wears a dress only once, particularly those in which she Is seen at evening courts, after which the gowns are taken to pieces and the parts distributed, with the exception of the valuable lace trimming, which is used over and over again. On the other hand, the Princess of Wales does not hesitate to be seen in the same gown many times especially if it happens to suit her.
 The German Empress has the same rule regarding gowns worn in state and other important occasions as Queen Alex andra, and they are never seen again in the same form.
 Queen Amelia of Portugal has long been known as one of the best-dressed Queens in Europe. She seldom Is seen in any gown more than once, and Is very gen. erous in her disposal of old clothes among the less affluent women of her court. The Queen of Italy. on the other hand. Is noted for the extreme plainneSs of her dress. She has one extravaganza, however. She never wears pair of evening shoes more than once. In this respect she is like the ex-Empress Flu genie, who used to give all her discarded slippers to a girls orphanage in Paris.

Are You Aware That

There'ss.an old-fashioned recipe for cleaning the inside of rusty kettle which directs that 1t be filled to the brin with hay and the kettle filled to the brim with water. Boil the water then for several hours adding more as needed.
 By adding one tablespoonful of butter or a half cup of cream to the batter pan cakes can be baked without greasing the griddle?
 Parafin used on the tops of preserve glasses can be saved until the next sea- son by washing in cold water and putting in a tin box with an air-tight lid?
 If the fruit is first covered with cold water and allowed to come to boil, more juice can be extracted-from lemon or an orange?
 Soaking over night is essential to the excellence of every cereal? All of them, with the exception of rice, need great deal of cooking. Oatmeal Is good If boiled four hours. It is more palatable 1T cooked eight hours, and most delicious if boiled 2a hours.
 Chlorate of lime, moistened with vine- gar and water in equal parts. is handy disinfectant for the household? It can be kept in the cellar. and In case of sick ness. a few drops scattered around the room will purify the air.
 A luncheon dish very popular In Mex ico Is made by warming large. square salted crackers in the oven and placing on each cracker large tablespoonful or two of baked beans and catsup. heated Wltl butter and highly seasoned?
 few slices of raw potatoes placed m soup while cooking will prevent its being too salty? The potato absorbs the surplus salt.

HOME MADE QUINN E
 HAIR TONIC

The high cost of a good quinine hair tonic prevents thousands of men and women from using such a preparation daily on the hair. This has resulted in the study and investigation of the sub ject by some bright men and women who use quinine hair tonic regularly hut who do not care to pay for the ex- pensive ready made tonics. They find that by simply mixing one ounce of Beta -Quinol with half pint of water and half a pint of alcohol that they can make more than full pint of quinine hair tonic of better quality and more beneficial to the hair than any of the widely advertised brands. A tonic made as described here will help the hair to become beautiful, glossy, long ana abundant. It tends to prevent dandruff and falling hair and keep the scalp In a healthy condition. This home made tonic is used by women who have most beautiful hair and plenty of 1t as we'll as those whose hair and scalp are not in perfect condition. The Beta -Quinol ana alcohol can be procured at eny drue store for 75c or soc and they will make more and better hair tonic than you could buy for $2.O0 in a manufactured state.

An Easy Trick

If you possess a Strong magnet you can perform d very startling trick. Hang. up sheet of paper, Draw on 1t with pencil a hook. Immediately behind the sheet, at the point where the hook is drawn, place your magnet. Now tell your friends that you can hang on this hook a key or steel ring, or any small iron or steel object with hole in it. They will, of course, not believe you. All you need to do is to place the steel or iron over the picture ofxthe hook, and the magnet will hold 1t. Tie object will appear to have been hung on the hook. You can have a confederate behind the scene to remove the magnet and then ask any one to try to hang up the object. He will, of course, fail. Then having given the signal to your con- federate. he will replace the magnet and you will operate the trick again.-Home Notes

Flower In a Soap Bubble

To make a flower inside a soap bubble, pour water in which a good deal of soap has been dissolved into plate or tray until the bottom is covered with liquid to the depth of one-eighth of an inch. In the center of the tray place water lily or ether flower, and over this tin funnel. Then blow gently through the funnel while you are slowly lifting it at the same time. Continue blowing until you make quite a large film and then proceed to disengago the funnel, after having first turned 1t at right angles.
 Flowers, spinning tops and other ob- jacts may be enveloped in this way. The trick is one which always mystifies and delights

 That and the fact that 1t is one of my favorites, made it double pleasure to read it." said Mrs. Beecher, with the most charming of smiles. And Mir. Dam- roschs accompaniment was perfect-but, of course. you heard 1t.
 Yes" I responded, "and all through the beautiful rendition I was thinking that such a wonderful thing could have been done, or, rather commenced by a boy of IT, such as Mendelssohn was when he wrote the overture"
 Isn't 1t wonderful when you come to think of it,'' observed Mrs. Beecher, "and 15 years afterward 1t was completed at the request of the King of Prussia, VII liam ", and presented at a private audi ence, with Mendelssohn conducting"
 Doesn't 1t seem the most natural thing in the world that the music of The Midsummer Nights Dream should have been written with pastoral surroundings-the dreamer lying in the broad open expanse of Gods beautiful universe?e I said.
 "Yes," responded Mrs. Beecher, land that fact Is at once evidenced by one of the exquisite passages inAthe over ture, where the cellos on a descending scale convey the most unique motif which Mendelssohn called his 'Schoen- houser fiy'-getting the idea from the fact that a fly buzzed around him as he lay in the sunlight and dreamed"
 Your art must be of extreme inter est to you, and must also be consum- ing in It's immensity," I observed.
 Tt is absolutely engrossing," an- swered Mrs. Beecher. ITO me reading is one of the greatest arts known to the cultivated world. I said to Dr. Hills of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, one day that to my mind great poem was as incomplete without the voice as an orchestral score 2 without the orchestra. To which he replied, Or as the blue prints of the plans of St. Pauls cathedral. In fact the book is the blue print for the soul of the in terpreter.' A pretty thought isn't it?''
 And where did you pursue your studies in elocutioR?" I asked Mrs. Beecher.
 My most satisfactory work has been accomplished at the Northwestern uni yersity, Evanston, H., under pr. Cum mock, and afterward l taught with him."
 And your repertoire includes?"
 Besides 'Parsifar and "A Midsum- mer Nights Dream 'Das Hexenlied, in the House. and as I told you I am at work on 'Pelleas and Melisande,"
 
 Although Mrs. Beecher is compari- lively a new resident of Birmingham (and during the short time she has lived here her readings have taken her away a great part of the time), her talent and her art are highly appre- ciated and 1t is pleasure to write her down as-successful. Such is the mag netism of her personality that her ap- pearance will always command the at- tention of many cultured auditors, and the simplicity and naturalness of her work cannot fail to please.

A Story of Hollands Queen

This story of the Queen of Holland is told by M. A. P, in London, wh ose editor does not rememb CT to have heard 1t before:
 When her majesty was a little girl she was not often seen in the com pany of her father, owing to his re- sentiment of the fact that son had not been given to him. Little Wilhelmina' s mother was much distressed at this, and thought of a novel plan to win tn e kings favor for his little girl.
 One morning at breakfast as he bent over to smell q large bank of magnificent roses that covered the whole of the center of the table, baby face peeped out and a baby voice cried, Oh, papa, please lift me out of the flowers, the thorns hurt me sor It was little Wilhe1mina, and from that mo- ment the kings heart softened, and the young princess became a great favorite with her father"

That elocution is lost art as many sup
 pose argues that those who sustain this opinion are uninformed on the subject. Never before has the art of speech been
 so dignified and so filled with everything that is artistic and aesthetic as it Is to- day.
 Little does the average person of good
 education appreciates the extent of the labor involved in the study of eloeution,
 the idea generally prevailing being merely
 that of retention and delivery. Many are
 the methods of procedure in the study of
 this art, and one of the reasons that elo-
 cution has probably not been more popu-
 lar is the old-fashioned idea of rant ing" "gesticulation," and the presentation in schoolgirl fashion of such selections as
 ''Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" the
 wholesale butchery of ''The Raven or
 the still more painful rendition of Ihe May Queen" in a sing-song voice that gets
 on one's nerves and drives one almost to
 desperation.

 ''My idea" said Mrs. Beecher when was chatting with her just after she had scored her immense success in "A Midsummer Nights Dream," lis to do just the sort of thing that MT. Dam rosch does himself when he is in New

Scrapes

My wife is always getting into scrapes,' and then flying to me tearfully to try and get her out of them," said a husband recently.
 The lady in question has an unbreak- able habit of writing letters containing the most libelous criticisms of her friends. She openly makes damaging statements regarding her neighbors, and in public places. When her husband-who Is tired of being forced by the injured ores to send checks to charities in order to avoid islander actions-remonstrates, she always says, "But I didn't mean any harm, dar- ling"
 She forgets that the person who aims a pistol in play at a friend didn't mean any harm either ''I didn't know it was loaded" he will say. But sometimes the friend is killed all the same
