a gracious modesty which. in reality.

COMBINES SCARF AND MUFF
Novel Idea That Has Many Good
Points FashionabIes Have Been
Quick to See.

novel combination of scarf and
muff is made of bands of chiffon, quill
ings of satin and strips of fur. 1t wraps
the body in shawl fashion, and just
at the waist line the width is gathered
in under two long buckles.
From this point two long ends fall
almost to the hem of skirt. Buckles
hold in the lower edges of each side.
and heavy fringe hangs from these.
Thus far this is beautiful shoulder
scarf But when the weather is cold
and the hands of the owner need the
comfortable warmth of a muff, 1t is
there for the hooking. The lower ends
are doubled up and hooked under the
upper buckles. A fringed mum is the
result. The combination is clever and
pleasing.

asked soon MIR. Taft took office. to pro-
vide ways and means to save money IN the olner
ent departments. The merchant cabinet member
had the advantage of long business training.
and 1t did not take him long to discover that 1t
was possible to many thousands OF dollars
by putting business methods in effect in the dill
ferent bureaus OF government. 1t was found for
instance. that good many bureaus OF the depart
ments were in the habit Of purchasing their sup
plies independently The result OF this was that
some of them were paying much more money
for some articles than being paid by others
Reform in purchase methods has come and 1t
has come also in many other lines. the net re-
suit being that Uncle Sans pocketbook Is being

fact that the secretary is great lawyer. Secre-

The idea is very general that smoke
less powder in being practically
smokeless achieves its greatest end.
but as matter of fact its smokeless
feature is incidental and was an acct
dent.
When the idea of modern long range
guns was conceived it was at once
apparent that the old black powder
lacked explosive force, and thousands
of experiments were made with va
rious chemicals TO procure a powder
of high explosive properties, and thi;
was at last accomplished.
When the new powder was tried
much to the surprise of every one il
was found that practically no smoke
followed the explosion. though this
could of course have been predicted
had the question ever arisen The
volume of smoke from black powder
is due mainly to the quantity OF char
coal in the powder. an ingredient mol
found in the smokeless explosive.
Smokeless powder. though a great
boon to the sportsman. is of question
