mammoth police dragnet for sus
picious men. is a campaign against the
painted women of the streets. just

male bipeds of too low class tc be
called men, is to be driven out of he
winerooms ana off the streets Of De-
troit. and sent back home." wherever
that may be.
I'VE are going TO photograph every
one Of these women who doesn't get
out OF town before we have chance
to photograph her. said Capt. Baker,
Thursday morning. After a woman
is photographed for that rogue's gai'
lery, she will be picked up wherever
she goes. We are not only going to
take them out of winerooms. but we
are going 10 arrest them as they walk
the streets, or anywhere else where
they show their faces.
These women and girls come here
from across the border, from other
cities in the United States. and from
small towns in Michigan. They bring
with them class of fellows that we
are going to get rid of. BY driving
these women out Of the city, We will
get rid of their fellows"
All morning. Thursday. women were
brought into Capt. Bakers office by
Precinct Detectives Wilson and Black.
Every one of them consented TO
get out of town at once" said Capt.
Baker. IF any OF them come back,
they will be brought In and photo
graphed. Their pictures. will be shown
upto the policemen on the beats. and
when these women roam. they will be
quickly picked up"
The opening gun of the campaign
was fired. Wednesday night. when De
tectives Wilson and Black took two
women out OF wine room, and locked
them up at police headquarters. They

drinking carbo,ic acid. without a
word She entered room where her
sister, Verta, was sitting, and drank
the acid from a tin cup as she stood
in a doorway. she died In the Solvay
general hospital half an hour later.
The only reason members OF the fam

had been despondent because she was
not earning as much money as form
erly. She was at different times an
attendant in the Home for the Feeble

Wae eettInn Monotonous.

A handsome woman who had been
so unfortunate as to hnd occasion to
divorce not one but several husbands
was returning from Nevada. In Chi
cago she happened TO meet her first
husband. for whom. by the way she
always has entertained real affec-
tion.
Upon my soul, II It isn't Charlie!"
exclaimed the ex-wife, cordially shak-
ing hands with the gentleman whose
name she had formerly borne. I'm
awfully glad to see you. Charllei"
Then. after a wistful expression had
come to and been banished from her
countenance, she added:
"Old chap. I've often wondered
where you were and what you were
doing. II was too bad we didn't get
on better together hope your ex
perience hasn't been as unpleasant as
mine. I'm sick and tired OF mar

r. HEY are enough to almost make
u us welcome the coming winter,
those gay velvet blossoms that maids
and matrons are wearing on their
new millinery. Big, fiat poppies,
giant wild roses. the clematis and
poinsettias and some blossoms that
must have sprung from the brain Of
the hower-maker, are blooming In
rich. bright colors. that will show
brighter still against a background OF
snow.
Besides these, there are the little
roses made OF silk and metal tissues
that are the quaintest and prettiest
things the cunning OF artists have
done. The bright green foliage is
made OF satin. The tightly folded
blossoms and buds are set in prim
groups about crowns or in single clus-
ters at some point on the hat. They
are used on all kinds of hats. but
seem at their best on those of fur.

Money for TubereuIosIs Work.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
gives forcible illustration of the way
in which a small sum spent in educa-
ton has secured large appropriations
from state. county, and municipal Of
ficials. The New York State Chari-
ties Aid association in the three years,
1908, 1909, and 1910, has spent IN the
upstate portion OF New York about
S55,000 in arousing the people to the
dangers OF tuberculosis. AS a direct
result OF the public sentiment pro-
duced by this outlay. the state, coun-
ty, and municipal authorities have al
ready appropriated for tuberculosis,
work $1,500.0O0 and appropriations for
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars are
pending. Hundreds Of hospital beds
have been provided. and the associa-
tion already aims for NO Uncared-for
tuberculosis in 1915"
Thus, the National association says
II S1,000.000 is realized from the sale
OF Red Cross seals. millions more will
be added to It from the public treas
uries. Last year 25,o00,oo0 stamps
were sold. It is aimed to sell four
times as many this year.

TO MAKE MILLINERS' FOLD
The Cutting Of tho Material 10 tho
only Thing to Be Kept In
Mind.

To make a milliner's or French fold.
cut the material three times the width
that the fold is to be when It is fin-
ished. Then fold third Of this width
back on the wrong side, and fold
down over this raw edge the remain
ing part. Turn in the raw edge be-
fore doing this. Finally, slipstitch
this edge to the thickness underneath,
being careful not to let the stitches go
all the way through.
To make a double fold Of this sort.
cut the material. again. three times
the width OF the fold when finished.
Made a wide, plain fold. and then fold
this through the center, with the
stitches all on the upper edge. Place
the upper fold SO that it forms a cord
or ridge through the center. and slip
stitch this 80 as to hold 1t firmly In
place. Be sure that all your stitches
are out OF sight

small bouquets of these silk and tin
sci blossoms set about the hat at the
Joining Of the crown and brim. They
are as vivid and rich as jewels.
Milliners use satin or ribbon, panna
velvet and gold or silver cloth To
make them. A sudden fancy for
them has sprung up and everywhere,
on fine hats, they delight the admirer
OF real millinery art. They are ex'
pensive because they take time, and
not because they consume much ma
terial. That used. however. is OF the
best grade in order to get best results
in color.
A hat covered with white satin
draped with black chiffon is shown
here. Poppies Of velvet in white and
bright red are set about half the brim
and against the crown at the left
side. A bow OF wide velvet ribbon 10
perched at the right side. This is a
very handsome model and might be
attempted with every chance Of sue
cess, by the home milliner.

Many a tenant will sympathize with
the man in this story. from the Phila-

small house which the landlord had
refused to repair. One day the owner
came to see him.

raise your rent"
What for?" asked Jones, anxiously
"'Have taxes gone up?"
NO" the landlord answered, but !

course, makes It worth more rent"
