Women Of Fashion.

Paris turned emerald green a month
ago and then after poking around
among her metallic fabrics for an
other color scheme, she worked up a
perfect craze for yellow. Her green

into the background when Its place
was usurped by corn color and canary
in clinging fabrics. The topaz satins
fairly melted into the golden gauzes

HEALTH BEAUTY
LARGELY DEPENnENT ON THE
DAILY BATH.

A daily bath should be part Of the

A daily bath should be part OF the
moral laws of every class of society.
II 1t is an impossibility to plunge daily
into a bathtub, or if the doctor for
bids plunge bath, the sponge bath
will prove sufficient for all purposes
of cleanliness or health
The human skin is a complicated
net, whose meshes must be kept open
and unclogged, in order that through
them the body may throw of its in
pure secretions, which must be gotten
rid of under penalty of pain and suf-
fering, and sometimes death.
The healthy action of the skin is
stimulated by by the opening of the
pores in the bath, especially If 1t is
followed by friction with brush or
rough towel, etc, (Masssge can be
dispensed with If the touch of a
strange hand is objectionable) Many
feyers and contagious diseases might
be avoided by these means.
In cases of internal Inflammation,
bilious collie and congestion there is
no surer remedy than the hot bath.
This bath has also effected most as
tonishing cures of obstinate constipa-
ton. When a person has been exposed
to a contagious disease he should i'm
mediately take hot bath There is
always a possibility that the disease
will pass out through the pores OF
the skin. 1t should be remembered
that it is very important to cool of
gradually Cleanliness of the skin
has a decided influence on the assim-
ilation Of food by the body. 1t is
known that well-opened pores make a
far finer skin than uncleanly people
can boast.
Think of the unfortunates of the
Middle Age ignorant of the blessings
of the bath! "One thousand years
without baths!" exclaims Michelet in
one of his histories. Think of the
pestilence, the hideous diseases which
at that time scourged poor humanity!
In the time of Henry " the habit OF
bathing was still rare, for 1t is record
ed of one of the great men of the day
that he asked why the hands should
be washed and not the feet. How

soEsETs IN ANCIENT GREECE.
A Playwright Says Cycling Skirts
Were Also Common There.

The discovery has been made in
Paris recently, that the Greeks 1000
years ago wore corsets and other ar.
ticles of modern feminine dress, &C
cording to the Paris correspondent of
the New York Times. Nine. Paquin
and Jules Bots disclosed the fact in
the latters play, La Furie," at the
Coincide Franchise, for which the IA
nous dressmaker designed the cos
tunes after consulting some Of the
oldest records. Jules Bots said to me:
There is really nothing new under
the sun. The ordinary conception Of
Greek dress refers only to certain pc

Is the point l insist upon. Look at
the statues of the women, ancient
Greek vases and sculptures and you
will see ribbons, crinoline, head

To prove his points M. Bots had pho

These are extraordinarily like the
modes of 1880. From these Nine. Pa

Of course, this upsets popular ideas
about Greek dress, and probably mu-
sical play showing Ulysses in pajamas
and Dido In a kimono will be pro-
duced on the boulevard as result.

VINTAGE Nicknames.

We have nicknames for the vintages
which few persons except the wine
drinkers know. Thus the vintage OF
the present year we call Zeppelin. in
honor Of the air navigator's achieve
ment and because 1t is 50 high. Rec
ords show that these nicknames were
bestowed on vintages as far back as
1929. when the bad-watered wine was
called Baptist"
The sour wine of 1860 was called
Garibaldi, and in memory Of the Chi
nese war the 1894 wine is still known
as Weihaivei. The vintage OF 1895
promised much and gave little. and was
nieknamed Ii Hung Chang. and an
other nickname for the same years
wine, Moses, was given because the
vine was taken from the water princi'

The upper shelf in the sketch is shown
in position and the supports for the
two lower shelves are shown nailed to
the wall, and ready to have the
shelves placed upon them, Diagram
A illustrates the shape in which the
wood should be cut out. After the
woodwork has been completed, the
edges of the shelves can be orna-

nails, and curtains are easily arranged
to inclose the shelves, if desired, and
should be chosen CT a color to harmon
ize with the paper on the wall. On the
top shelf, a pot with fern and other
ornaments may find a place, and the
space inclosed on the floor, under the
lower shelf, is valuable for storing any
little unsightly things that may not,
for time, be required.

the sleeves will be set lower on the

proceed, due to grounded motor.
The engineer. fireman and head brake
man were perfectly satisfied that the
rear of their train was in the clear
of main track. The conductor, see
ing the head brakeman's lamp at the
east switch. assumed that he was GO
ing on to flag No. 5, to notify them
of the obstruction at the west end
of the passing track. No. 5 arrived
in due course of time and found sig
nails which govern west bound trains
at proceed. At this time they were
making about forty or forty-five miles
per hour and Engineer Roberts of the
passenger train did not discover any
distractions on the main track until
he had arrived at a point too close
in which to stop his train before col
liding with the freight train. Upon
discovering the obstruction, he i'm
mediately applied the air brakes in
the emergency and succeeded in re-
ducing the speed of his train before
the collision occurred.
We find that the passenger crew
did everything in their power to avoid
collision and exonerate them from all
responsibility. We also exonerate
rear Brakeman Ryan and Fireman
Crouch of the freight train. We find
that Conductor Grove of the freight
train was guilty of gross negligence
in not looking after the safety of his
train ard failing to see that head
brakeman Hopkins was guilty of con-
tributory negligence in not knowing
that the rear of his train was into
clear of the main track and failing
to protect his train against No. 5.
We also find that Engineer Rasmis-
sen was guilty of contributory negli-
gence in not knowing that the rear
of his train was into clear of the
main track before he obscured the
headlight of his engine.

System VIII Be Controlled BY Three
Departments In Order to Give
Better Service.


directors of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company have approved
a new plan for reorganization for
the company's forces. into what is
known as the three column or sec
tional organization.
Under the new system the COM
panys business will be divided into
three departments, commercial, traffic
and plant. with general superin-
tendent at the head of each depart
ment The appointments of P. H.
Hopkins as general commercial super
intendent, A. T. Stintson, general
traffic superintendent and A. J. Vance
as general plant superintendent have
been approved.
The new plan forces the line into
which the telephone business divides
naturally and has been put in sue
cessful operation by several Bell
companies in the country, although
it is an innovation in this field. 1t
is expected to secure much greater
efficiency, as it will run in the crea-
tion of three special corrs that will
handle the work as has heretofore
been handled by one. A great in
crease of the business made this
change necessary and the three col
umn plan was finally adopted after
thorough investigation and prom
Using the best results.
1t is explained by the Company
that the change means only the re-
distribution of work and not change
in the personnel at all. The Company
hopes to be able to put the plan into
effect with the same employees it has
now.
The Commercial Department will
carry on the commercial business of the
Company, such as securing the bust
ness, collections. etc.
The Plant Department will have
charge of the maintenance and con-
struction of the physical property,
including real estate.
The Traffic Department will have
charge of the local and long distance
service.
Mr.. Hopkins who will become
General Commercial Superintendent
was Credit Manager for an eastern
iobbing house and travelling salesman
in this field for several years before
he became connected with the tele-
phone company. He has been with
with the telephone company four
years and is at present General Con-
tract and Collection Agent
Mr.. Vance has been with the teIe-
phone company twelve years, the last
seven as superintendent of the Wv
oming division, he is member of the
Wyoming Legislature and will change
his residence from Cheyenne to Salt
Lake at once. Mr.. Stintson has beer
connected with the Bell company ever

engineer from the Massachusetts
Institution of Technology, He was

company and Northwestern Telephone
Exchange company before he came
