~ EVERAL nice points there are in
the fitting Of a shirtwaist Or
y blouse that every home sewer does
not know and many dressmakers
neglect. Almost invariably. after the
seams of a shirtwaist have been put
together with a fair degree OF accu-
racy the novice makes either OF two
mistake-if not both: she bastes the
collar and blouse together in seam
which is wrong-or she tries to mt the
sleeve before the collar is fastened on.
This last Is not possible.
The blouse should be put on the
wearer. or on a figure. with the seams
basted only. A neckband or a collar,
finished at it's lower edge and of
the correct length. should be laid over
the blouse and around the neck. then
carefully pinned fast SO that there are
no Fuckers in the blouse. With the gar
ment now In hand. the collar Is basted
exactly as it was pinned and the sleeve
is basted in.

Turban Notes

~ HE round-crowned turban in
straw Is a distinct favorite for
l. early spring.
Satin trimming shirred over cords is
a favored decoration on the newest
turban.
The all-fower model lends itself most
successfully to the large turban shape.
A hat-crowned turban in rough black
straw of unusual height is bound round
with a narrow black velvet. ending in
one huge rosette.
The narrow stiff Quill-in pairs-divides
honors with the tight bunch Of small
roses as a middle front decoration for
the straw turban.
Small turbans fitting very low on the
head are draped with black lace wells.
Puppies varying from amethyst and
mulberry to violet tie with deep rose
color and clover red on the new satiny
straws.

"HIS year It has been the fashion
to wear fur coats and almost
all Of the winter suits have con-
sisted of a one-piece gown and
the warm outer wrap of fur. Therefore
It will be imperative to provide . suit
OF cloth to last through the demi-saison
and to serve until the latest things for
spring have been made public.
These costumes. which are drawn for
today. are made on lines not in any way
exaggerated. and. therefore. possess a
certain stability.
BY today's drawing you will SEQ that
buttons have not in any way lost their
popularity in tho eyes Of wonankind:
they are not only used as much a. ever.
but they have grown even larger and
more pronounced.
The first model could be made Of cash

the second might be well carried out In
khaki-colored broadcloth. with revers

1t has been suggested, as you will
see, to make up these costumes in
serges and cashmeres. 1t seems like
ly that a slight revulsion will be no

cloths SO much worn during the win

AS to colors, tho best that the great
designers can do is to bring forth q

4 Saflor4 Christening.

Tbe late Bishop Potter once IN his
early days had occasion to officiate at
christening in small fishing village
on the Massachusetts coast" says a
writer in Harper's Weekly. THE
proud father. a young fisherman, awk-
wardly holding his firstborn daughter,
was visibly embarrassed under the
scrutiny Of the many eyes in the con-
gresation. and his nervousness was not
decreased by the sudden wailing of the
infant as they stood at the front.
when the time for the baptism of
the babe arrived the bishop noticed
that the father was holding the child
SO that it's fat little legs pointed toward
the font.
Turn her this way ne whispered.
but the father was too disconnected to
hear or understand.
Turn her feet around the bishop
whispered again, but still there was no
response. The situation was fast be-
coming critical. when an ancient mari
ner in the back of the church came to
the rescue. Putting his weather beaten
hand to his mouth, he roared across
the room, Head her up to the wind.

what there is in a baby's makeup

sleeping and behaving when there is
company, but everything he can snatch
he Immediately filings to the floor I've
noticed and known a lot of others, too,
who do the same thing. It's not only
the joy of throwing, but the delight In
seeing somebody pick the stuff up.
Babies certainly seem to take fiend-
ish delight in watching their fathers
and mothers or nurses pick up the
toys and other things which they
throw out of their beds, carriages and
chairs. My boy used to be quite pleas
ed with Il rubber toy attached by a
string to his carriage SO that it just
escaped the ground He would grin
and dangle it fer hours. Now he yells
as soon as he discovers 1t Is fastened,

DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES ON
THAT PROPERTY-ORE AT 200
FEET DEPTH MACHINERY
FOR AURELIA CROWN.

CHELAN, Jan. 26.-Development
work on the property of the Chelan
Butte Gold Mining Company con-
tinues. The property consists OF
three claims, situated on the south
side of Chelan butte, about five and
one-half miles from town, by good
wagon road. There is a good cook
and bunk house on the claims, AMI
an abundant supply of water. Two
hundred and seventy-five feet of tun-
mel have been run. The company is
now drifting on the ledge at a depth
of 200 feet and encountering some
good ore. About fifteen tons Of ore
have been taken from the ledge on
the surface. This has netted the own
ers an average of about $50 per
ton. One hundred and fifty sacks
of ore are now ready to ship. This
ore Is all high grade, and is expected
to yield Sc to 81 per sack of 70
pounds.
A carload of mining machinery is
now at Lakeside awaiting shipment
up the lake to the Aurelia Crown
Mining Corporation, on Railroad
creek, as soon as the large steamer
begins its run in the spring.

my impression is that it will be a
good apple for Scotland, where they
have a preference for the red apple.
The Scots were unanimous in saying

were not in the same class with ours.

STOCKHOLDERS
HOLD MEETING
Continued from Third Page.)

| the date of this meeting there was
not time to have this work done, and
the directors felt that it would be
better to leave the decision of the
matter to the stockholders. If you
do decide to employ an auditor for
this purpose it is very essential in

Amending or Changing Bylaws.
In issuing the call for this meet
ing it was thought advisable to so
word it that if found desirable by
your body, the bylaws could be le-
gally changed or amended AS the
business of the association increases
from year to year and new condi-
tons arise. some changes become
necessary
The matter has been referred to
the attorney for the association,
who will advise you. You must not
lose sight of the fact that this is an
active business incorporation. Your
bylaws, rules and regulations
should be such as to legally guard
and protect every interest involved,
but at the same time your business
should not be hedged around with
so much red tape as to hinder the
proper transaction of it expeditiously
and with the minimum cost of ex-
pense
And now, gentlemen, at the close
of this another year, after having
served your association for two sea-
sons as director and president to the
best of my poor ability, I wish to
be again relegated to the ranks and
must ask you to relieve me from
any further responsibility either as
director or as your president.

Following the address Of President
Tibbits there were several short
speeches made on the work Of the
association. The proposed change in
the size of the standard apple box
came in for some discussion. This
change is embodied in the Porter
bill now before congress, and pro-
test was made on the law and this
was voiced in a telegram sent yes
terday by the association to the
Washington congressional delega-
ton.
William Edmund, who returned
last week from his trip across the
water as a representative Of the as
ISOLATION, taking with him five car
loads of apples, made his report. The
Daily World had an interview last
week with Mr. Edmund on his trip
and a large part of this matter was
included in his report of yesterday.
Other matters not touched on in the
interview were as follows:
Il found. and / suppose that all
shippers have the same experience,
that there is a great deal of plumber
ing of fruit by the railroad employees
A great many of my boxes were bro
ken open and the fruit taken out.
This is matter that we must take
to headquarters and break the train
men of sampling everything that is
shipped. All my fruit went in cold
storage and at New York there were
two transfers. The fruit had to be
unloaded from the cars and then
taken on barges TO the ships. A
different system is in vogue where
there are over five carloads TO be
handled The cars go direct to the
ships and only one handling suffices.
This is an argument in favor Of the
larger shipments. There is a great
variance in rates across the water.
When the shipments are large the
boat companies stick on the tariff, !
but when competition is pretty keen
it does not cost as much to get the |
fruit across the water. It cost about |
so cents to get my apples to New |
York City and about 40 cents to ship
across the water to London. The |
White Star line is we'll equipped to

vice. knowing nothing about the
common storage. On my way over
examined this and found that with
better ventilation it is sufficient and
would have my apples go no other
way in the future, as it reduces the
cost of transporting them consider
ably. The cold storage system in
the old country is absolutely perfect.
The customer has only to say what
temperature he desires his fruit to
remain in and he gets just what he
asks for The unloading system is
also way ahead of ours
Regarding the markets, I would
say that we have an unlimited mar

Pioneer In Care For Its Employees.


OF the five hundred and fifty odd old
employees of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad not inclusive of the B. & o. S.
w. or subsidiary lines now on pension
roll for the regular monthly allowance
the company pays to them during life,
half the number were in active service
forty and more years, torty-nine of them
exceeding fifty or more years; OF e
rounding out full sixty years. The
combined years of service these veter-
ans put in aggregated nearly twelve
thousand, which was an average of
fortyfour and two-thirGs years each.
A record showing of continuous duty
with single corporation. Forty-three
of these pioneers IN American railroad
ing are now eighty and more years of
age, thirteen of them having passed
their eighty-ffth milestone; two reach
ing beyond their ninety-frst.
Old age provision for faithful service
was inaugurated by the B. & 0. Com
pany long In advance of any other rail-
road on the American continent and it
was the first railroad company in the
world to establish pension system on
the basis of itself contributing the en-
tire fund; foreign railroad pension, or
approximation funds as they are term
ed abroad, calling for most of the
amount from the men through their
own contributions. The earliest corpo-
rate movement of any nature en- this
side looking to care for employees was
that of the B. & o. way back in 1874.
It's present plan, under which eligibility
for pension is after twenty years ser.
vice, has been in effect for quarter of
century and there are employees still
living who have been on the pension
roll for upwards of two decades.

perfection among savage tribes and
was long ago abandoned as a weapon
