r STOOD in the WHITLEY
JEWELRY COMPANY STORE
u watching the many people as
they came and went and the va
rious things they selected for grad
uating gifts. 1 was amazed to see
such large collection of novel
ties. They are a wide awake firm,
always prepared for the various
celebrations. Matters not what you
want in the jewelry line, you will
always find it at Whitley's. Re-
member, it is the marble front with
the beautiful chimes.
Only a few days left in which to
make your purchases for graduate
ing costumes and accessories. Re-
member there is one store in town
that carries beautiful ready to wear
gowns of the smartest styles. SO
why worry about dressmakers when
YOU can step into THE NEW YORK
STORE and order what you want?
They have an excellent line of
gloves, all colors and all lengths.
Surely mothers will appreciate this
fact that they can buy everything
at THE NEW YORK STORE with
out having to rush here and there
for what they want.
1 said to NJ. FREDERICKSON of
743 South Broadway, what does all
this rush mean? O! the gradu-
ates are busy with many social af-
fairs just prior to the day OF grad
uation, and each one seems to want
to adopt the fad of wearing many
little curls on the back of the hair
dress. They all say we can ar
range them in better style than
most hair dressers, so we get the
bulk of the trade. Our manicure
tables are always busy.
Summer gowns will be seen with
great quantities of tucking.
Elastic belts in different widths
will be more popular than ever this
year.
The latest silk hosiery has the
Chantecler embroidered on the in
step.

Shoulder seams on the new shirt
waists arc much longer than these
of last season.
Lingerie embroidered with the all
pervading Chantecler is one of the
fads of the hour.
An old fashion that has been re-
vived is the use of oblong gold
buckles to trim gowns.
Parasols of embroidered linen are
popular They are only suitable for
carrying with linen or cotton
frocks.
The rich, dull coppers, as well
as other metallic shades, are seen
in many of the stunning slippers
for evening wear.
bangles of seed pearls are worn
as pendants. They are suspended
from a tiny gold chain or one of
the seed pearls.
The white canvas Gibson tie prom
ises to be popular. It's a COM
Portable style for summer.

rings slipped on over their gloves.
Whether this will be a popular FAD

ket weaves, too, are good as we'll
as effective.
Some of the most stunning clasps

turned to favor. Many of them are
very pretty.
Albatross will be much used this

WHISKY BRANDING RULES.
Commissioner Cabell Issues Series of
Regulations for Marking.

Royal E. Cabell, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, has issued to collectors
of customs a series of regulations for
marking and branding distilled spirits
In accordance with the Presidents de-
cision on What is Whisky" Pure food
rules on the subject already had been
issued, and internal revenue regulations
as to marking and branding are changed
to conform in principle with them. They
affect all manufacturers Of distilled
spirits.
Under the existing regulations no
descriptive terms could be used on in
ternal revenue packages, but under the
Taft decision such words and names are
permitted, provided they contain true
statement of the contents. Under the
new regulations all mixtures OF whiskies
may be labeled blends. Any mixture
Of whisky with spirits distilled from
material other than grain must be
labeled a compound or imitation whisky.
The belief is expressed that the new
regulations will be fairly satisfactory
TO all interests concerned, except the
molasses and the beet distillers, who
complained bitterly of being denied the
right to use the word blend In connec-
ton with their products. and Of being
required to label them compound or
imitation The expectation is they will
test the matter in the courts. Presi-
dent Taft took the ground that a per-
SON has the right to know the real
nature of the product he may be drink
ing.

RECLAMATION TO COST MUCH.
Ultimate Expenditure Will Exceed
That for Panama Canal.

Projects under way as the result Of the
eight years during which the reclamation
act has been in operation represent an
investment of upward of $60,OD.OOO. The
total ultimate cost OF the reclamation
work in the next fifty or one hundred
years will be greater than that of the
Panama canal.
F. H. Newell. head OF the reclamation
service, who makes this statement. was
testifying before the House COMMITTEES on
irrigation yesterday. He contended that
the benefits under the irrigation works
would exceed the benefits from the Pan
anna canal.
He painted the prospects of this gigan-
tic undertaking in roseate colors. con-
tended that the personnel engaged in
that work and the system OF cost &C
counting used were the most efficient In
the government service.
The big bond issue proposed in the bill
now pending before the ways and means
committee. presumably. would be utilized
for the extension Of present works In
stead of for the development of new
projects. About 10 per cent OF the set
tiers that have taken up this work, Mr.
Newell said, have proved failures.
