The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-10-06
BY MADEMOlsELLE MISFlT.

The ColOrs employed mostly are ma
Wy. raisin, smoke, dark rose, Prussian
blue, gendarme, bottle green and seal
brown Also two-tOne combinations
Of these colOrs.
In the children's dresses the Russian
effects are in high regard. The hand
som st of these are trimmed with hand
embroidery collars and cuffs and oft
times hand embroidered bands. The
edges of these trimming effects are
scalloped and sometimes this trimming
idea is carried down the entire front
OF the dress.
Loops Of cord and buttons are also
dresses Others have sOutache braid
trimmings in military effects and still
others use buttons entirely for the
thinning complement. Self-covered
buttons or jets in various sizes are
fashionable.
Sailor suits are also shown a great
deal The skirts are pleated and yokes
similar to the WOmen's styles are
shown. Serges. caShmeres and broad
cloths are used, and in the wash fab
RIGS pique, rep, linons and percales.
Checks. plaids. stripes and novelty
WeaVes predominant. In children $
coats broadcloths. crush pushes, vel
vets. pony and bearskin are the most
favored materials. There are also
shown many silk coats or bengaline
and MORE in blacks and colors. All the
coats are simplifed models of the
women's lines.
The cleverest ideas in children's
headWear for this season show fancy
bonnets of felt. beaver. velvet, ben
galine bearskin and crush plush. They
are most effe ctive when they harmon
ize in material with the coat. They
are trimmed with ribbons feathers and
occasionally flowers Besides these
picture bOnnets.. close sitting caps
are shown for the younger children.
These are made Of the same materials
as the bonnets. Hats are not so fash
ionable for the younger children this
season as the bOnnets.

She came. but instead of tugging

trouble.
In about minute she had found a
big book that was keeping the bag
apart. had turned it the other end to

clasps and turn the key.

GLOVE STYLES.
+ j. j. ]. j. \ + + + + j. + i. + + ]

For general street and day wear the
trend has reverted to short gloves and
excepting for dress purpose the long
glove will suffer retirement This
seems like tempering the wind to the
shorn lamb, with hubby cast for the
lamb If the high glove tariff goes
into effect as seems quite likely at this
writing. in spite of the wave of femi-
nine indignation that has swept the
country. short gloves will be less of
a strain on hubby's purse strings than
if the mandates required the high
priced gloves for general wear.
The glove fashions for America We're
decided quite early this season as it
was necessary for the buyers to get
early impOrtations in order to avoid
the possible increase in duties, hence
we can speak with authority as to
colors as well as to length. The
colors most sought for for fall, aside
from the certainty Of blacks AID
whites. will be champagne, oXolDod,
greens. blues. tans grays and browns.
There is an increased interest this sea-
son in gloves of pique finish.
For dress purposes the IS. 30 and "a
button lengths will continue fashion
able throughout this season.

scallops, which give a rather fanciful
effect. while the sleeve caps are cut

the decoration on each side of the pam

A skirt that will have much of
| vogue will be the yoke skirt which
seems to have taken the general wo-
mans fancy. Oftener than not this
yoke is extended down into the front
panel or into half a panel extended to
the feet by a few groups of plaitings.
! Sometimes the whole gown is used
where the yoke part is carried up into
a waist which gives it the corselet eff

these skirts or whole dresses a long

shoulders to the bottom edge with

center closing which is made with
| frogs and loops of black silk. A
stitched shawl collar and turned-back
cuffs are used.
A number of long coats will be worn
that come almost to the feet and some
times quite to that point. Some Of
these are loose, with big collars and
cuffs. and immense pockets that are
fine for rainy and stormy weather
when made of the rain-proof home
spuns or cravenette. Others, again
are made of as warm but finer mater

such that she can have many of these
things. but we speak now Of the usual

Winter Poultry Feed.

The fall of the year is the time to
collect and store winter feed for poul-
try Grains and other dry feeds may
be secured at any time of the year, but
home grown feeds can be gathered for
storage only at this season. 1t will pay
to save all of the cabbage heads and
stalks. small potatoes. turnips, beets,
and other surplus or waste vegetables
to feed the laying hens when the plants
are no longer green on the range. A
cellar under the barn or other outside
building is a good place to store these
vegetables for poultry. and in the alb
sence Of cellar they may be stored in
small earthen pits. The advantage Of
the small pit is that when it is opened
only a small quantity of the stored
vegetables is exposed for spelling.
Green vegetables for poultry in Win
ter seem to restore partial summer
conditions and hence promote greater
egg production. Hens that are given
a small daily ration of green cabbage,
sugar beetS or other green vegetables
which they like. will lay more eggs
than hens fed wholly on a dry ration.
and the vegetables are less expensive

Getting the PulIets Ready.

Many of the March and April hatch
ed pullets win soon begin to lay, if they
are given the proper feed and care.
The thing to do with any growing ami
nal IS TO keep it growing at rapid
rate, and chickens are no exception.
Ii pullets are made to mature before
cold weather they will soon begin to
lay and bring in some profits when
products are high. If they are starved
and stunted so that they mature late

Episcopal MEETING,

MONTPELIER, VT, Oct. 6-The an
nual diocesan meeting of the Woman's
Auxiliary to the board of missions Of
the Episcopal church was opened here
today
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-10-06

Chickens must be fed if they are tt
grow and lay eggs. They must no.
only have all they will eat but they
must have a variety to build up the
different tissues of the body, and to
supply the different elements of the
egg. The most active hens as a rule
are the ones that lay the most eggs,
but most people carry this principle
too far. and strive to make their hens
active by inducing them to scratch in
straw for a small amount of feed.
Some of the mimagine that if they
could keep the hens excessively active
they would lay an unusually large
number of eggs, regardless of whether
they were fed anything or not. Plenty
of feed and plenty of exercise will
promote health, but much exercise
with no feed will kill any animal.
The pullet of most any breed on the
range is active. 1t is the nature for
the young bird to be so. Hence we
need not concern ourselves 50 much
about the exercise as about the guam
titv and kinds of feed. If the pullets
are to begin laying early they must
be Watered daily in connection with
good feeding. Feed we'll, water regu
larly. and keep them free from lice and
disease, and the pullets will do their
part and do it we'll

The committee reports that. local
conditions hamper the enforcement
of mining laws; that in certain Gee
tons where the operators are not in

preventing miners from carrying in
large quantity Of dynamite and
powder. -' -.
Many prosecutions have been
made by the department of the min
or and quite q few have been made
against the operator for ALLOWING
mines to remain unsafe and UNI
wholesome. In every instance Where
the prosecution has been against the
miner there seems to have been no
difficulty in securing a conviction.
but In all instances where the de-
partment has undertaken to close
down mine or to regulate some un-
safe condition Of the mine or prac-
tice by the operator, these prosecu-
tions have failed. 1t seems to the
committee that the courts In some
way are under some kind Of a spell
or domination<of the operator"
Mine Foremen Negligent.
The report says that miners carry
in to mines too great quantities Of
powder and dynamite, because more
than one-half are ignorant and inex-
Derienced. There are some opera
tors who arc carrying out the sug-
gestton Of the committee and who
employ mine foreman, whose only
duty Is to look after the safety Of
the mine, and who at all times exer-
cises eternalS vigilance. It cites an
instance Of mine (namc not given)
at which this Is done and says that
only four lives have been lost there
in a number of years. In this par
ticular case the foreman knows ev-

, the representations of the chief Of
the department we believe that there
are d Aumber Of inspectors who are
not capable OF exercising that judg-
ment and ability which should be
long to one occupying such an I'm,
portant position"
Would Make Operators Responsible
I . The report continues at some
length, declaring that the mine. de-
partment is not strong enough to
cope with all the conditions con
fronting 1t, but the inefflciency can
not be said to be due entirely to the
officers. 1t Is the composite Of M any
resulting causes. 1t points out that
1T is physically impossible for twelve
inspectors to visit the mines in their
district as frequently as they should
be visited. The committee holds
that there should be an inspector for
each mine to bring about. an ideal
condition., and this can only be at
tanned in two ways:
First. BY strengthening the mine
department, both in number Of dep
nties and qualifications Of each dep
uty.
Second. BY throwing the respon-
sibility upon the operator by making
him liable for any and all accidents
and deaths that may occur by rea-
son Of his mine being in an unsafe
condition: .l,,a.
The committee discards the first
proposition as too burdensome, and
approves the second. Every indi-
vidual and company who operates to
any extent employs a mine foreman,
and where there are gaseous mines,
mine boss, and it is the commit
tees idea that the most expert men
be employed, and made inspectors,
responsible for the condition Of the
mines, and that they should he held
accountable under special laws gov
prning this departure. ....-....-....,

unusual amount Of farming being
done. From my door can see over

at work. Not at any time in the eigh-
teen years we have known this bit Of
terra firma nave We seen as much
ground broken by the Tlow in one sea-
son. There are many reasons for
this. Some of which are the tendency
to 90 back to the farms, the high
price OF corn and the hard times Tor
a couple of years past which has put
many persons out of employment. All
of which is to the advantage of the
movement for more farming in little
old Marion.
There Is considerable interest being
taken in the popularity contest of the
West virginlan and the people will
be much interested in guessing who
the winners will be.
