How to Apply the
Design

THERE are two ways to apply
i this design to the material
upon which you wish to work 1T.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with a well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
IL your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this:
then draw over. each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of a steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper you vii find a neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by a thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
vaseiv. secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes In white,
black, blue. red and yellow. adj
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue

Do not rest your hands or fingers
upon any part Of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of

tightly in your left hand the first row,
and to allow the second row to slip
rather loosely through the fingers OF
the right hand as the machine sews
them together. This will ripple the sec

and proceed in the same way with

Jerome and Tammany.

Is the rejected stone to he made at last
chief of the corner?
William Travers Jerome. to use a curb
stone phrase, has got the New York poll
ticians to guessing. They have not liked
him. nor has he liked them. A democrat.
he was some years ago turned down by
his party, and then he set up for himself.
He is NOW district attorney as the result
of an independent appeal to the people.
He not only challenged Tammany, but
in the campaign covered the organization
and its leader with ridicue and condem-
nation. His majority in the circum-
stances was large.
Today. notwithstanding much sharp
criticism of his conduct in office, Mr..
Jerome is still strong man in New York
affairs. A good many men believe in
him. A good many hope to see him con-
tinue in commission There are New
Workers of influence who would support
him for mayor, and be glad to see Tam
many, in it's hunt for man. nominate
him. They believe he could be elected.
He is most effective campaigner. ap-
pealing to voters in everyday fashion,
and in the language of everyday life.
Mr.. Jerome himself, however. has no
desire to be mayor. He says SO in the
plainest terms. and disposes of all such
speculation. But there is no doubt that
he is desirous of succeeding himself in
his present office, and much talk on the
subject is circulating.
1t is suggested that Tammany nominate
him for district attorney, and build its
ticket to suit him. There are some men
with whom he would not run. There are
others with whom, it is stated, he would
run. Let Tammany, some of the Jerome
men propose pick men for candidates.
from the nayoralty down, of the Jerome
type and agreeable to him, and ask the
judgment of the town on the selection.
Nothing is truer, and no truth is
oftener quoted. than that politics makes
strange bedfelows. The friends of today
are often the enemies of tomorrow. 1t
would conform to political usage for
Tammany to turn to its enemy. and for
the enemy to favoraby respond. in this
business. The sole political question is.
does Mr.. Jerome answer Tammanys
needs this year, and is he willing for
another term of Office to supply those
needs?
Still, the best friends OF Mr.. Jerome
may we'll wish him quit of the tempta-
ton. After what he has said from
knowledge about Tammany-its connec-
ton with and profits from crime, and its
utilization of bad means generally 20
compass it's ends-it would be sad spec
tacle to see him become it's beneficiary at
the polls. William Travers Jerome as
district attorney through the grace of
c. Francis Murphy of Good Ground-he
rang all the changes on those names in
his campaign the other year-would in
spire no confidence in any of his own or
New York's we'll Wishers.

Weather Bureaus ul-Wind.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t would be a strikingly ironic outcome
of it all if the recent attacks upon the
weather bureau should lead to increased
appropriations and extensions rather than
the bureaus extinction. reduction or re-
organization. Do not be surprised II
such a consequence should come to pass
The attacks have had the effect SO far of
rallying about the bureau strong cham
pions for defense. They have provoked
a public discussion of the merits rather
than. the demerits OF the service. And
the net result is the. prevalent belief
that, while the weather service is not
perfect yet the science of meteorology
has nowhere been thoroughly mastered
and so mistakes must be expected. AL
ready the means of saving life and prop
erty despite its errors, the logical pro-
gram for the future is one of increasing
the bureaus efficiency as against impair
ing it. The thing TO do is to work for
more thorough understanding of the
science of the weather in order to make
it possible for the weather bureau to
analyze conditions and predict the wealth
er with greater eXactitude. The call for
an extension instead of a curtailment of
the weather bureau operations is becom-
ing pretty general The weather bureau
may after all, then, see in the recent at
tacks an i'll wind that blows good for it..

Mass, a class was made uo Of twenty
puny children who were backward n
