Care of Laces.

Always iron lace on the right side
first, and then on the wrong side TO
throw up the pattern.
When ironing laces, cover them with
clean white tissue paper This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
laces.
When putting laces away, fold as
little as possible. A good plan is to
wind them round a card, as they do in
the diapers shops.
Use contour instead of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm. and does not destract from
the lacey" appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifles
should be placed in a muslin bag be-
fore being boiled This prevents their
getting lost and torn in the wash.
Lace on collars, handkerchiefs, etc,
should always be mended before be-
Ing washed In these cases it is very
true that "a stitch in time saves nine"
All laces. before being ironed, should
be carefully pulled out. each point be-
ing attended to. The lace will look
twice as well for this and will stay
clean a much longer time.

They need not be answered. unless
the recipient is an intimate friend.
Then a congratulatory note may be
sent An announcement demands no
reply. The matter of wedding gifts
is of course an unsettled question.
There are number of well-bred per-
sons who do not respond to an invi-
tation with a gift, believing that it is
poor taste to send gifts to them whom
they scarcely know, but to whose we'd
ing they may have been invited for
some reason of courtesy.
OF course, the fact that one knows
the groom rather than the bride makes
no difference one way or another. 1t
is to the bride that the gift is sent.
An "at home" card inclosed in the
invitation necessitates a call within
the time named, or, If one lives in a
distant city, card sent by post.

is not good. and the manufacturers
have met this dictum by making ex-
cellent fabrics and undergarments that
have warmth without weight.
Union suits from knee to chest are
considered more healthful than fan
mel of any kind They protect the
body because they cling closely. They
are made of Swiss cotton and linen
mesh. Wool is not allowable. Those
without sleeves and low in the neck
are right. because they are kept on
in the house, which is too warm for a
heavier garment. When one goes out
into very cold air it is better to put
on Shetland wool undervest, which
is thin enough TO run through brace
let and warm enough to keep out icy
winds. The vital thing is to keep the
body from getting moist and making it
a victim to every breath of air.

BIG LAKE SHIP SUNK;
SCORE MAY BE LOST
Frank H. Goodyear of Cleveland
Run Down by James B. Wood
on Huron in Fog.
SURVIVING CRAFT SAVES SIX
Returns to Port Huron with Huge
Hole in Bow Plates as Evidence
of the Disaster.

The steel steamer Frank H. Good
year of the Mitchell Transit Company
lies in forty fathoms of water in Lake
Huron about thfrty-f1ve miles off Point
Aux Barques and probably eighteen
persons met death in a collision be-
tween that vessel and the steamer
James B. Wood, another steel boat, be-
longing to the Gilchrist Transporta-
ton Company. Five were saved. The
collision occurred about o'clock on
recent morning in heavy fog which
overhung the lake.
When the steamers came together
the crew of the Goodyear, which is
reported to have been struck amid
ships, had time only to seize life pre-
servers. Only few could jump over
board before the boat began to fill
with water The cook had just sound
ed the second call for breakfast on the
Goodyear when the crash came and
many were in the messroom. All
rushed on deck and then the boat be-
gan to sink. Several jumped into the
water and managed to get out of reach
of the boat, which was filling fast.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in
the center and with a sound which
could be heard above the whistling of
the Wood, sank out of sight, carrying
with it all except five on board. The
bow of the Wood was stove in, but
she rested on her bulkhead, and, al
though some water flowed into the
hold, was kept af1oat with the pumps.
Captain Gibson of the Wood ordered
the lifeboats lowered and gave the
crew instructions to make every pos
s1ble effort to save any of the sailors
of the sinking steamer.
In a short time the yawlboat was
brought alongside the Wood and Capt.
Hemenger, Steward Frank Bassett,
Mrs. Emma Bassett, Frank Mollick
and George Grant were taken aboard,
all exhausted from their exertions to
save themselves during the time they
were in the water. Many of the Good
years crew were killed by falling
matches before they had a chance to
jump into the water. All had on life
preserVers when their vessel sank. The
cooks baby was dashed from his arms
by falling hatch and the infant was
lost
Both the Wood and the Goodyear
are large steel vessels. The Wood is
514 feet long and the Goodyear was
436 feet long. For more than seven
hours the Wood remained at anchor
near the scene of the collision, the cap
tain hoping that he would be able to
save others of the crew of the Good
year. When the fog rose nothing was
in sight, and as his boat was damaged
and in danger of sinking he decided to
return to Port Huron, Mich.

President Brown, of the New York
Central Railroad, in conference with
several other prominent captains Of in
dustry connected with the New York
Produce Exchange, have started a new
movement for the reoccupation of
abandoned farms in New York State
and for the more intensive cultivation
of all farms, in the belief that this is
the only permanent solution of the
problem Of high prices and increasing
poverty. $50 many farmers sons have
deserted their homes up York State to
make their fortunes in the city that
5000 acres of the best farm lands in
the country has been allowed to go vir-
tually to waste; and it has come to the
point where the only way we see TO
reclaim it is to bring in immigrant
farmers from Europe to buy and work
the land" He admitted frankly that
he was interested in the question of
land reoccupation because it would
mean more work for his freight cars.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson ad-
dressed the Produce Exchange Tues
day. and on his advice that body pass
ed resolutions to take some definite ac
ton toward bringing the people back
to the land and toward assisting the
farmer to best methods of soil conser-
walton. To this end a committee Of
fourteen was resolved on.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion ordered the lake and rail freight
rates on flour from Minneapolis to
New York City and the Atlantic sea-
board reduced from % cents per 100
pounds to 2115 cents, beginning May 10
and remaining effective for two years
The American Express Company
has extended its service to the Union
Pacific. Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton Company and auxiliary lines, and
offices will be opened at principal
points on these lines, including Butte
Denver, Portland, Spokane. Topeka,
Seattle and Tacoma.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has announced a voluntary increase of
per cent in the wages of all employees
who now get less than $500 a month.
About IFS, 200 men are affected. 1t was
said that a similar advance would be
made west of Pittsburg, the present
raise affecting only those lines east of
that city.
The rate of wages paid to fremen on
the Erie Railroad has. been advanced
an average of s per cent Hereafter
firemen on the big passenger engines
will get $3.50 and those on freight
engines $3.50. Negotiations are still on
with conductors, trainnen and shop
forces.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, Monday,
a sweeping advance in passenger rates
between New York and New England
points On Communication tickets the
increase is from Is to 80 per cent, or
substantially to 2-cents- mile basis
for commuters.
