Sweeping reforms in the manage
ment Of the business OF the city OF
Vinita were inaugurated at the regu-
lar meeting of the city council last
night and If the plan evolved proves
success the city will be on cash
basis and no longer viii the city war
rants have to be discounted. The coun-
ellis plan is to make every department
of the city government pay it's own
way and according to the resolutions
passed last night unless the heads Of
the various departments are able to
make their departments pay the sal
aries will be cut In order TO keep
within the levy for that particular de-
partment.
The city will be placed on cash
basis by resolution adopted direct
ing the city treasurer OF Vinita, Okla

sinking fund In the purchase OF side
walk warrants, sewer bonds, paving
bonds and city warrants for current
expenses, when such warrants bear
the statement on the face that they
have been issued within sixty per
cent Of the debt limit of that fund.
This resolution was adopted with the
emergency clause.
The most sweeping of all Of the
reforms instituted last night was the
resolution requiring the police Judge
to turn over to the city treasurer all
money taken by him out Of fines col
lected to pay himself for fees charg-
ed in cases where the defendant, in
default Of the payment OF fine is com
mitted to jail.
Under the terms of an ordinance
passed the police Judge will be paid
a salary Of $50 a month until his Of.
fce turns into the city treasurer $500
per month. For each $50 over the
5000 the police Judge viii receive an
additional S. per month. The city
marshals salary Is fixed at s75 and
that Of the assistant at sixty dollar

expense Of keeping the city prisoners

TIE combination of Russian coat

a warm little vest under the coat the
dress would be suitable for any but
the most frigid days. As pictured, the

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building for the readers Of
this paper. On account of his wide eXpe-

turer. he is, without doubt. the highest
authority on all these subjects. Address
all inquiries to William A. Radford, No.

close twO-cent stamp for reply.
With the approach of cold weather
there is one feature of home building
that comes into new prominence. We
hear the question asked, How is the
house heated?" or, more often, rs
this a warm house," These are i'm
portant questions; not more impor-
tant now, it is true, than in the hot
summer weather. for even then the
wise home builder looks forward to
the wintry days and provides against
them by proper construction; but now
that cold weather is upon US the ques-
ton of adequate heating seems to be
more present and absorbing
With modern heating equipment
there is probably no form of dwelling
that cannot be adequately heated.
Some however, are very difficult to
heat and require much larger heat
ing plant and much more coal than
they should. This is due sometimes
to faulty construction, sometimes to
unwise design.
In the first place every home build
err should know that there is no mon
ey SO well spent as that put into insu-
Iating felts and high grade sheathing
papers: which. combined with thor
ough construction in other ways, will
go very far toward making a resi-
dence frost proof A house so made
can be kept thoroughly warm with
from one-third to one-half the amount
OF coal required to heat the same
structure if not properly insulated and
put together
Insulating paper does not cost very
much and it should be used freely.
The entire exterior walls should be
covered between the rough sheathing
and the cIapboards and care should be

STYLES FOR MISSES
MORE NEARLY RIGHT THING
THAN THOSE FOR WOMEN.
Look Actually Adorable in Baglike
Skirts of Hour-Many Dressy
Frocks Are in One-Piece
Models,

The fall clothes provided for misses
strike the heart disgruntled with fash
ions follies as more nearly the right
thing than those provided for woman.
True, the small woman may find them
TO her taste, but the styles are Great
ed for the girl, and it is not entirely
the traditions of girlhood that make
them attractive. Perhaps it is the
charm of the very short skirts and the
slim f1gures-it may be that the young
girl is more suited to the present friV-
olities than the woman who is sup
posed to have come to the age of rea-
son.
Everywhere one encounters the
maidenly wisp of humanity looking
actually adorable in the baglike skirts
Of the hour, with their restraining
bands or skinny cut, with the over
skirt that looks as if it has a right
to be, the short sleeve that seems
legitimate and so on. In the field OF
practicalities a mannish little coat
suit represents the proper caper for
street wear, and in it's most killing
phases it looks as if it might be made
out of three yards of stuff. A trim,
dinky sort of little jacket, with coat
sleeves fitting all but to the skin and
single-breasted front, is completed
with skirt without gather and with
only two seams-these at the sides.
Mannish materials, too, are being used
for it, and for all the apparent sim
plicity of such suits they require the
touch of accomplished tailoring.
Many dressy little frocks are in one
piece models, or they may be in two
sections, with the upper part of the
skirt Stimulating, with yoke or trim
ming, some basque finish for the
bodice When the waist and skirt join
perfectly it is impossible to see at
first glance that these frocks are not
in one. Then there is the straight
overskirt still with us, and just now
it is the merest cap, hugging the hips
tightly and finished with the newt

will blanket to certain extent the

In other ways, too, the arrange
ment of this house is desirable. It is
well suited for a narrow building site,
its width being but p feet 6 inches.
Even counting the side entrance porch,
It doesn't require more than % feet.
The side entrance is very popular at
the present time and this is a good
example of the possibilities of this
kind of arrangement. The living room
extends clear across the front of the
house, the reception room and stair
hall occupy the middle of the side
and kitchen. There is small den
directly back of the stair hall, which
will be useful for many purposes.
On the second floor are three good
sized bedrooms. each with clothes

room is also on this floor and finds
itself directly above the kitchen. This
brings all the plumbing together and
makes quite a saving in this factor of

kind that the experienced house de-
signer can save a good deal of money
for his clients. Too often not enough
thought is given matters of this kind,

a table at the church fair in which she
was anxious to help, she conceived
the idea of making a big, stout apron
of denim, with plenty of spacious peck
cts, and going around with it, selling
small toys to the visitors at the ba-
Zaar.
No sooner thought than done. The
apron was made of dark green denim,
reached to the knees, and was pro-
vided across the base with three
roomy pockets, made in the deep turn
over Of the hem by two straight lines
of stitching. These divided the band
into three divisions, which were trim
med with a triple row of narrow white
braid. Two smaller pockets were
made higher up. All of these pockets
were hastily ornamented by pictures
of Teddy bears, etc, outlined in thick
white floss The apron was fastened
around the waist by two stout cords,
which helped support its weight.
So great was the success of this
plan with the children who were too

The Beckwith family is very old,
and dates back with distinct record
of each generation to the times OF
William the Conqueror in England.
But strange as it may seem, the found
er of the family was not named Beck
with. but de Malebisse.
Sir Hugh de Malebisse was brave
Norman knight, and he came with
William in 1866 from Normandy TO
England. He is mentioned in the
Domesday book as a land holder. He
had three sons; one Of them became
a monk and the other two established
families in the new country to which
they had come.
Almost 200 years later, during which
time the de Malebisse family had dis
tinguished itself in peace and in war,
Hugh's descendants, married Lady
Dame Beckwith Bruce, Her father
was Sir William Bruce, lord Of Ugle-
barby, and he was descended from Sir
Robert Bruce. progenitor Of the royal
Bruces of Scotland. BeckWith. Bick-
with, or Beckworth, which come from
the old English words beck, brook,
and worth, an estate, were the names
applied to one of Lady Dame Bruce's
possessions, and she persuaded her
husband to take the name of Beckwith
for himself and his successors. His
grandson, Hamon Beckwith, in 1889
by special grant, assumed the arms
CT the de Malebisses
So it is that that the family is named
Beckwith, and not de Malebisse.
The family made four distinct settle
