Dear Sir:-I was pleased to see your
last issue of the paper commenting up.
on, although in very mild terms, the
usage OF these large hats now worn by
ladies even at lectures. In the east
you will seldom find such is the ease
as 1t has been considered a matter of
course, TO remove these inconceivable
phenomenon of headgear now in vogue
at theaters, lectures, etc. The persons
sitting behind them have to have a
neck Of an inde~scribable fleXibility in
order to catch the slightest glimpse Of
platform or speaker, as was the ease
at the brilliant lecture given by Prof.
Pattengill at the Presbyterian Church
in this city. II is remarkable how many
ladies, in spite of the strongest criticism
will ignore such expressions directed
right to their faces. One gentleman
tried his very best to call attention to
his shining top notch, that presented
an area as bare as the New Mexico
prairie, but TO no avail. When the
lady says; / won't, that means she
want do it, that's all.

THE ART OF SELF
EXPRESSION
(By Ruth Cameron.)

NBy hutn CanerOn,)
How few people know half ~ much
rs they should about the art OF self.
expression.
Both oy pen and by spoken word, |
mean.
You don I see gust what I'm driving
at
Well, say You. club or your society,
should asE you to draw up a set of
resolutions on some subject. Could you
sit down aud wiitc it Off rapidly
| don I believe you could. If you
are an average person | wager
there would be infinite crasures, fire..
quont iuterlinings and several drafts
before the thing was finally done.
And again, suppose you were quite
Unexpectedly asked to get up and speak
at "a club meeting or banquet. Could
you stand up without any feeling Of
embarrassment or discomfort and say
just what you'd be glad to remember
you said when you thought the per.
Torrance over the next dayi
If you could, you are one in "a hun.
dred.
There is no ability that helps 80
much in every business and profession
as the ability to express oneself easily
and well, both on paper and in person.
No matter what store of book learn
ing, what equipment of special learn.
ing, what talents, even what genius u
man may have, he is apt to find his path
far from smooth, il he is lacking in
that ability.
II seems TO me that just about
twice as much pains as now is should
be given both at home and in the school
to training children in the power of
self-expression.
For one thing | think children should
be encouraged to keep diaries.
OF course diaries aren't the fashion
nowadays. a line a.day book is the
proper thing If you must keep any
chronicle. | imagine by the twenty.
first century it will have been boiled
DOWN 70 "A WOru a uay.
I'm sorry. | think a carefully kept
dairy is the best English teacher Il
child can have.
Louise May Alcott, the author of the
world famed Little Women" as a
child was always encouraged and even
required by her father to keep her
journal regularly.
No, / know that did not give her the
ability to write Little Women" but
/ have no doubt it contributed toward
the simple, graceful style that helped
to make Little Women" the beloved
book it is.
And although l don't say the keep.
ing of u diary will make a Louise Al.
colt out OF your little girl | do think
it will add something to her power OF
expression.
l know a man who has recently at
tanned The position Of treasurer of a
large company. 1t is a part of his du.
ties TO preside and speak before the
board of directors. This he does very
well 80 far as appearances go, but be-
cause he has never had sufficient train.
ing in self-expression, he suffers such
agonies of concealed embarrassment that
he has actually begun TO take evening
lessons in the art of eloeution TO over
come his weakness.
Almost any big man will tell you that
tne ability to express oneself easily and
well is the best kind of oil for the ma
chinery of business and professional
life.
You may not be able to give your
child all the advantages you would like
but you surely can try to furnish them
with some of this oil.

According to information given
out by w. B. Lapselly, her brother,
A. Gilbert, had a costly experience
last Saturday night. Gilbert was
struck by a Traction car on
Sprague avenue and taken by the

He had SIS in his pocket, my
brother tells me, when the police
arrested him, and he had but SO of

said Mrs. Lapseley.
His wife and brother telephoned
to the emergency hospital the next
morning and wanted to know how
he was getting along, and when
they could see him. The reply
came that he was we'll and that
they could see him at 10 that morn

ACCIDENT

charred that Identification probably
will be impossible.
The cause of the accident is said
to have been the failure on the part
Of the passenger train crew to dis
play proper signals when their
train was compelled to stop.
The flyer, known as No. 4, had
proceeded only four miles out of
Durand, eastbound, when the en-
CINE broke down and the nine Pull
mans wereb rOught to standstill.
ASLEEP WHEN CRASH CAME.
Brakeman Graham was ordered
to place signals and he claims he
did so. While Engineer George
Mitchell and Fireman George Mel
sonw ere under their engine max
ing repairs and while the passen-
gers were asleep the crash came.
No. 4, going at 80 miles an hour,
came up in the darkness and
smashed into the rear coach of the
express. Engineer Charles Spencer
of No 4 declares he heard the re-
port of a torpedo just before he
struck the express. He shut off
steam and applied the brakes, but
the speed of the train was scarcely
diminished.
With the weight of eight bodies
behind it and the impetus of 80
miles an hour to carry the train,
the engine of No. plowed into the
darkened sleeper with its 20 pas
sengers.
PULLMAN SPLIT.
The Pullman was split and the
following coaches were piled up on
the wreckage. Almost instantly

Soon the night was bright with

were trapped in the sleeper next to
the one on fire. Little could be
done for the victims, crushed and
pinioned in their berths, as the fire
soon became too hot to approach.
FIRST AID.
The first aid came from Duffield,
nearest to the wreck The bodies
OF two women were taken out and
placed where the injured lay. En-
gineer Mitchell and Fireman Nell
son of train No. IA had been caught
under their engine and crushed.
Both were fatally injured. En-
gineer Spencer escaped death. His
fireman is missing.
R. w. Wallace, a newspaper man
Of Paducah, KY, headed the rescu-
ers and will be an important wit
ness in the investigation of the
cause Of the disaster.
Engineer Spencer said that he
had no warning that No. IA was at
standstill until he heard the tor
pedo explode Just before the col
lision. He insisted that the red
tail lights on the express were not
lighted.
