not seen as often as before. The sleeve end
is shaped and flared slightly so as TO sug-
gest the bell shape. Sleeves are trimmed
straight up and down. round and In pretty
trimming effect: Most sleeves are trimmed
TO conform to the rest OF the trimming
outline. The high pointed Gibson collar
seems to be giving away to the round and
shaped collars which are not as heavily
frilled at the top as last season, although
ruchlngs are still to be seen. A number Of
the advance summer models show the low
Dutch collar, while many of the dresses
with collar show the simulated round
Dutch collars. which is effected by trim
ming OF laces. braiding or embroidering.
Although the straight up and down eff
fects are still good, a number of the high
style garments show a great deal of the
trimming arrangement in stimulation OF the
draped tunic. short in front and long,
pointed ana rounded lenRtn IN the DdCk. n
number of the high-style models show the
exaggerated long waist effect, which is eff
fected by trimming arrangement much like
the empire waist treatment. Bolero and
other jacket effects. are also PRODUCED by
trimming arrangement. Boleros are square
and in rounded cutaway form and the
close-fitted effects are better liked than
those that are made to hang loosely over
the bust. The bolero effects usually ac-
company the empire cut gown, while the
long, sleeveless coat effects are to be seen
in the advanced long-waisted dresses. This
tendency toward the exaggerated long waist
is also to be observed In the numerous low
set. broad directolre pockets that adorn a
number of dresses. The general effect OF
these dresses is of a gracefully hanging
one-picoe dress, with sweeping length Of
the skirt and a sleeveless bolero or longer
jackets.
Embroidery.
Color in embroidery is more pronounced
than ever this season. Bandlngs, waist
fronts. allover patterns and various other
forms OF embroidery are shown in color.
Although colored batiste with self-color
embroidery is shown to some extent, most
of the embroidery shown is white. with
color embroidering in Anglaise. Medeira

A much favored tailored style is the
button front one-piece princess, perfectly
plain from neck to hem. with the excep-
ton OF self-button o-rnamentation and a
dainty touch in neck finish.
Empire Waist Much in Evidence.
Not so broadly accentuated as in previous
seasons, but the empire bodice is still TO
the fore, especially in the dressier gar
ments. While most of the dresses are
without lining (for only the net and lace
garments are lined) and are made without
stays, a number of the high class dresses
are made with a wide. boned, form-fitting
inner girdle, which Is made to fit close TO
the figure but is slightly extended in the
back so that the skirt should fall straight
from bust line to accentuate the hipless
effect.
Cloth and silk Dresses.
For early spring there is a wide showing
of light weight cloth dresses. which are
made in princess and empire styles. cut in
piece and in semi-effeet. Prunella. Hight
weight serge. Panama and some fancy
worsteds are employed in the tailored gar
ments which are handsomely tailored and
trimmed with braid. embroidery and self
material. Buttons arr still used for dress
ornamentaton, while pendants for neck
and sash. girdles and other forms OF drop
are well to the fore.
Sleeveless, low cut neck cloth dresses are
shown In suit costume and separately. al

& more elaborate costume effect.
Tne popular interest tina is centered- ugon
the dress for the coming season promises
to create an epoch in the history OF gar
ment making. The offerings of the ready
to-wear garments in that line excel any
thing that has been shown in previous
Esasons. AS in the suit. there is a general
uniformity In ;egard to figure outline. but
there is enough detail and diversity OF
Trimming ideas to offer wide variety.
There are dresses for every occasion. from

dressy wear,
Dresses One Piece I'm Cut o.. In Effect.
While most Of the dresses are stin cut
Ia semi-pTincess effect. there Is an in
creased showing Of dresses cut in one
piece; especially among the high class gar
ments. There seems 10 be q tendency from
getting away from the belt outline whether
placed high or at normal line. An dresses
are made TO hans and fit smoothly In long
graceful lines from shoulder to hem. with
enough fullness over the hip TO carry out
this straight line effect. Gored and cir
cular skirts are used altogether. while the
panel Is used very freely. Many Of the
plainly tailored dresses show the panel

and the similar blind and open patterns.
A great deal Of the cut embrolderies In
Venise and Irish lace design is also to be
seen. Half-made robes. waists, corset
covers, chemise. petticoats and children's
dresses, as well as unfinished yokes. coll

be had In hand-embroidered as well as In
the effective machine limitations which re-
semble the hand work so closely that only
the closest inspection reveals the differ
ence. In colored embroideries there are
some high class novelties, such as the
highly colored Hlndoo embroidering, which
is done on heavy crashlike linen. Very
vivid colors and much tlnsel of gold and
silver are seen in these embroideries.
Yelling.
Yelling continues to be good and, although
during the colder weather fabric wells were
in pretty fair demand. more business seems
to be done on the mesh veilings. Tn
Tuxedo veilings are still good and the
plain dress net dotted in various size dots
are stlll holding their own.
There is at present nothing newer than
the Russian and magpie veilings. which
continue to be in excellent demand. Only
in fabrics does the demand run toward
wells. but mesh veilings are sold by the
yard. Black is an excellent color TOT veil
ing. while black and white double meshes
and all shades of gray follow black very
CLOSELY. Navies and browns are also taken
to some extent. In chiffon and other fabric
wells the tendency seems to be for white
and light colors.
Spring will open with great promise for
the ribbon department. Sashes and girdles
made OF various widths or ribbons will be
in very wide demand. There will also be a
demand for ribbon hair ornaments OF all
sorts. The velvet ribbons will be brought
into play for hair ornaments. Children's
boxed ribbon sets are becoming more pop
ular than ever. Metallic ribbons In all
colors will be very popular for betting.
Ribbon ties for low shoes are also to be
taken into consideration when ribbon is
bought. While satin. %taffeta, faille and
messaline In plain weaves are good. no rib
bon department will be complete unless
there is some showing of the numerous
fancy weaves and printed effects. Per-
slams, Dresden and fancy check, stripes and
brocaded effects are well represented

novelties are the black and white effects.

other novel effects.

COME IN SWARMS
BIackbird Invasion of Topeka
mt It's Height.
Millions of Birds Camp in
Bethany Grounds.
COME IN THE EVENING
Leave at Daybreak in the
Morning.
DO Not Like Being Disturbed
After Roasting Time.

The old Topeka slogan, 81 900 in
1911" could be changed to 100000
in 1909" If some of the new inha bit
ants who have recently arrived were
included in the census report. Never
in the history of Topeka has the city
been invaded by such a population.
Every evening about Z o'clock the
vanguard of a million blackbirds
scars majestically over Kansas avenue.
~This guard is followed by the aide de-
camp of the king of them all and then
as If by strategy a new tribe comes
lowering over Eighth avenue from the
north. This band is quickly followed
by swarm from the south and then
multitudes from the west.
For an hour these birds fly in thous-
ands to their nightly cots-in the trees
on the campus of Bethany college. n
Topeka ornithologist who has been
watching these blackbirds and study
ing their habits for years claims that
Topeka is the camping grounds of
blackbirds for miles around.
Every evening after they have
finished their daily tasks of hunting
something to eat they gather together
in fiocks and as If by signal from Il
far away setting sun they start on
their journey to Bethany. The first
flock always comes from the west
and the leader is followed by a tri-
angular shaped guard-after this the
birds are strung out about five abreast.
Then the northern flyers appear,
then the southern. followed closely by
those from the east. 1t is said that
the western birds gauge their flight by
the sun and when they see Old Sol
bending down below the horizon they
start the journey homeward. AS to
how the signal is given and the flight
of the other tribes started no one
knows-but they always come in ap-
pie pie order.

Lectures TNice a Day.
Every. afternoon and evening public
lectures will be given and in the even
ing the lectures will be illustrated. The
exhibit will also be open and free to ali
during the day.
People will be told and shown. how
they have contracted tuberculosis and
how the we'll are being exposed to tie
instructions will be given how to get
we'll when that is possible and how 20
keep 1T from spreading to others of the
family. The same general rules that
hold good in the prevention Of tubercu-
losis, also hold good in all other in
fections and contagious diseases so that
smallpox, typhoid fever and others will
receive their share of consideration.
and more than this when time permits
local unsanitary conditions will be con-
sidered. Unsightly and unhealthful 10
caIitleS in several towns have already
been photographed and when these
towns are reached these photograph 5
will be reproduced so that the citizens
of that town may see themselves as
others see them.
For the people generally there will be
model sleeping rooms. tents, sleeping
bags. window tents. views of various
sanitary and unsanitary homes taken
from actual places in Kansas, healthful
and unhealthful household appliances
and over two hundred views illustrating
hygienic laws and showing the disease
laden fly and mosquito.
The physician will be interested in
the means and appliances for curing
tuberculosis and in seeing the various
organs the seat of tuberculosis pre-
served in natural colors. There are
also frames of the various therapeutic
and diagnostic serums and colored
of the tests for tuberculosis. 1t is tile
purpose of DR. Finley to hold tubercu-
losis symposiums in some of the larger
cities with the medical profession
alone.
This is the first time in the history
of Kansas that money has ever been
appropriated directly and primarily
for the prevention of disease and it not
only marks an epoch in the sanitary
history of the state. but it places the
people of Kansas not only among that
intelligent class who believe 1t is better
to prevent disease than it is to cure 1t
but also in the forefront of a world
wide hygienic movement-the greatest
and most significant movement of this
generation.

| interesting place at night. The first
band from the west always occupy the
| trees around the primary building on
the eastern border of the campus.
This is a quiet reStful spot and the
trees are large and are protected bet
ter from the storms which always
come up from the west or northwest.
1t is said that when storm does ac-
cidentally come from the east and
whips the trees occupied by the blacks
that on their next trip to the college
they will occupy a new position near
the main building.
Needless to say every tree on the
grounds is black with the birds before
nightfall. There are one or two trees
| that have died this summer and the
leaves have fallen but the birds make
excellent use of these trees and at
twilight it is hard to tell whether the
tree is alive and healthy or whether 1t
is covered like bark with the sleepy
blackbirds.
And the birds do not like to be dis
turbed. One evening not long ago
young fellow and his lady love were
strolling alone under the trees when
the youth threw a small stick up into
tree which was inhabited from the
lowest to the highest branch by the
blacks. When the birds felt this stick
come flying up in their midst they
shrieked and left their perches and
the futter of thousand wings sound
ed like an artillery practice. The girl
not knowing of the sleepers above her
mead gave one unearthly scream ana
sank to the ground in a faint. When
she regained her senses she asked the
young man if there were going to be
any more lawful thunder claps.''
And with all of these birds roosting
peacefully in the tree tops there is
not a fire escape or an extinguisher.
And there are no ropes or electric
gongs to help them in case of fire and
Chief Wilmarth has made no COM
plant.
Fairly in the morning before the l111-
man beings awake the birds swing
away in the same orderly easy manner
that they came. No one knows where
they go-but they always come back.

STRANG is FIRST.
Chevrolet Second in the Five Mile
Stripped Chassis Event.

5 Indianapolis. Ind, Aug 2O-The
Buick continued its winning streak by
finishing first and second in the five
mile stripped chassis race, the first
regular event of the second days pro-
gram of the inaugural meet of the
new Indianapolis speedway today.
Lewis Strang finished first in the fast
time Of 4:48 with Chevrolet second,
40 seconds behind. The two Mar
ion cars. the only other starters, were
distanced.
The trials for the mile record failed
to break the mark of 0:43 lilo set by
Barney Oldfeld yesterday. OIdfield in
his Benz came closer to his official
record than any of the others, as he
covered the distance in 0:43 2-1O. De
Palma in his Fiat Cyclone covered the
distance in 0:4S 6-10 and Hengel in a
Chadwick made it in 0:49 40.
Walter Christie in his freak racer
probably will make trial later in the
day.
A crowd estimated at $1,000 saw the
races today.
