MANY lives aBA[[|NGER

OF PRISING HIM LOOSE FROM
HIS JOB, SINCE HE REFUSES TO
RESIGN-MACHlNE ACTIVE.
fHerald Special }

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 31.-Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger, having re-
fused to resign, and to save President
Taft the necessity of demanding his
retirement, will now be pried loose
in bold political stroke. 1t is re-
ported here today that Ballinger will
not receive the investigation commit
tees exoneration, as has been conf
IDENTIFY expected, but instead he will
be censured, and the president will
then be obliged to demand his resig-
nation. The success of this plan as
devised by the republican leaders de-
ponds for success on the possible de.
sertion of Representative Mccall, re-
publican of New York, from the ma
jority which favors exoneration, and
the refusal of Senator Root to partici-
pate in the final verdict If two mem
bers of the committee change their
views the verdict will be six to five
against Ballinger.

house, where it was stated tonight the
bill would be finally passed tomorrow
with the amendment intact Almost
Immediately uopn the receipt Of the
bill from the senate the house judici-
airy committee reported the bill ia
vorably on unanimous report That
makes it ready for the finishing
touches in the house, which are ex-
pected to be given it tomorrow.
The, amendment adopted in the SEN
ate limits the liability of the purchas-
ers of roads emerging from receiver
ships to claims which accrued two
years before the receivership started.
Claims in litigation, however, are ex-
scepted. The purpose of the amend
ment, Judge Garwood explained, is to
protect the second mortgage bond
holders, the prospective purchasers of
the road, who do not care to be liable
to the Goulds for approximately $4,-
100000 advanced prior to that time
and is an unsecured claim. The bond
holders loaned the money to the
sGoulds, it is said, and do not care to
be required to pay it second time
upon reorganization when they pur-
chase the property In order to avoid
that possibility the amendment was
presented, and bars claims antedating
the receivership two years ago, so far
as relief by the bill is contemplated.
The Goulds will have to look to the
proceeds of the sale for reimburse
ment of the 100000. The amend
ment does not specify the Internation-
al and Great Northern, therefore it
would apply in every other instance
of this kind if such should occur again

piece and make a line ~ inches on
each side of the center and fasten the
short length between the lines with
the screws as shown in Fig. 3. The
short piece should be fasteend perfect
~ square and at right angles to the
long one.
The materials necessary for the
cross-shaped boomerang are one piece
hard maple SIG inch thick, 2 inches
wide and 30 inches long, and five
halflnch fat-headed screws. Cut the
maple into two 14-inch pieces and
plane the edges of these pieces so the
ends will be Y inches wide, as shown
In Fig. 4. Bevel these pieces the same
as the ones for the T-shaped BOOM
erang. The two pieces are fastened
together as shown in Fig. 5. All of the
boomerangs when completed should be
given several coats of linseed oil and
thoroughly dried. This will keep the
wood from absorbing water and be-
coming heavy. The last two boom
erangs are thrown in similar way to
the first one, except that one of the
pieces is grasped in the hand and the
throw given with a quick underhand
motion. A little practice is all that is
necessary for one to become skillful In
throwing them.

A Parior Trick.

narrow hook on one end Of the hair
pin, which hook you have pinched
well together so that will grip the
coin tightly, and hang the ring on
the other more open hook. Now bal
ance the coin at point near its edge,
and in line with the two hooks, on
the point of the hatpin, which you
hold vertically in your left hand.
You can nearly always make it bal
ance on some point, but to make the
trick effective the pin should be very
near the edge of the coin, so if the
ring is not very heavy you may have
to borrow another one and slip it on
the hook beside the first Or you can
use light ring and substitute quar-
ter for the half-dollar.
Now if you blow against the ring
the whole affair will turn on it's pivot,
and by blowing good puff every time
the ring comes around you can make
it spin very fast and keep on spinning
a long time.

These fasten down the front, and

BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY.


Nearly all the millinery worn In
this country is designed within our
own boundaries. Even the fiction Of
its French origin is growing out of
favor. This does not mean that we
owe nothing to the French, but that
we could be quite Independent of
them If We chose and that we have
designers in our midst who under
stand our needs and also how to de-
sign beautiful millinery, and we have
come to understand this.
These very simple, very pretty and
very American" Gf one may be al
lowed the expression) designs are pic
tured here. They are selected because
they belong to that class of hats
which the home milliner may trim
for herself.

Lavender FIowered Bags Of Chiffon
Make Pretty Gifts and Have
Distinct Use

Quite wonderful and most beautiful
are the lavender Powered bags made
as gifts and to hold the most delicate
pieces of embroidery. They are chif-
fon, white with some rambling spray
IN pale lavender. The bag is shirred
into lavender-covered circular bot
tom' and at the top of its 12-inch
height 1t is folded to provide material
for casing, folded over an embroid-
cry hoop and sewed over it in casing
shape.
There are neither strings nor rib
bons, but after the work is put into the
opening OF the bag formed by the
shirred-in hoop, the bag is twisted as
1t is dropped from the hands. The
twist incloses the work as securely as
would drawstring.

Epithets.


Two men were talking together
One said of a third person. Hes a
dirty dog 1t is quite common for
people to speak in this epithetical way
OF others and to ascribe to them some
low qualities that usually fit animals,
scoundrels or devils. It is a very Door
habit and reflects more upon the men
who are guilty of the habit than upon
those against whom the bad names
are directed.
If one would go to the bottom of
this habit and see what it really
means he would, for his own sake,
endeavor to extricate himself from it.
He would easily see that it was an
expression Of prejudice. spite, ill-will,
hatred. and not of candor, good will
or justice. It must not be implied
from this that man must not hold
a bad opinion of another. It simply
means, if there is room for a good
opinion. take that, and if there is not
disparage and denounce the offense.

Crepe de chine is widely sought
after in the right colors for blouses
for morning coat suits. 1t is quite
permissible to choose tone that has
glow of another color in it. This
would be only possible in this sea-

For instance: With a coat suit of
blue homespun fastened with black
corded silk buttons there is crepe de

Strength Of Human Hair

A human hair of average thickness
can support load of 81 ounces, and
the average number of hairs on the
head Is about 10000. A woman's long
hair has total tensile strength of
more than five tons, and this strength
can be increased one-third by twisting
the hair. The ancients made practical
use OF the strength of human hair.
The cords of the Roman catapults
were made of the hair of slaves. and it
is recorded that the free women of
Carthage offered their luxuriant tresses
for the same use when their cftv was
besieged by the Romans.
