Washington, Sept. 14.-According
TO a noted New York milIiner who
recently returned from abroad, the
latest word from the Paris modistes
is curves All the newest models
show a much fuller skirt than has
been worn, some OF them being left
open at the bottom in front for about
three inches, allowing the ankle TO
be seen as the wearer walks.
The smartest shops are showing an
autumn hat which has a little pock-
et sewed either in the trimmings,
where it cannot be seen, or IN the
lining. Women have always objected
to a pocket in the dress, on the
ground that they caused the dress TO
bulge out, thus destroying its shape,
so from the brain Of clever French
milliner sprang the idea of carrying
such necessary articles as handker-
chiefs, purses and button hooks in
milady's hat.
A specially made electric fan has
Just been completed by a firm in Mas

ever made in this country and is to

The much talked of marriage OF
ColonI John Jacob Aston and Miss

men believe the marriage is an af-
fair that should be determined by the
principals:

WEARING AWAY OF
 MOTHER EARTH

Investigations by the United States Geological Survey of the erosion of numerous drainage basins of the of the country is being removed at the average rate of about an inch in 760 years. Though this amount seems trivial when spread over the surfa ce of the country, it becomes stupen- dous when considered as a total, or even in separate drainage basins Mississippi River for instance. carries annually to the sea 136,400.000 tons of dissolved matter and 340,500,O0O tons of suspended matter and of this total Ohio River carries S3,350, 900 tons and Missouri River contributes more than twice as much. Colorado River, which has built up for itself a vast delta, brings down more sus- pended matter than any other river in the United States, delivering an nually 3S7 tons for each square mile of it's drainage bsin, or total of 100,- 100000 tons.
 The rivers of the United States car ry to tidewater every year 27O,OO0,- 900 tons of dissolved matter and 513,000,000 tons of suspended mat ter. This total of 783,OOO,OOO tons represents more than 350,OOO,0O0 cu- bic yards of rock, or 610,OOOOOO cu- bic yards of surface soil. If this ero- sive action had been concentrated on the Isthmus of Panama at the time of American occupation 1t would have excavated the prism for an S5- footIevel- canal in about E3-daxs.

TERM OF ENLISTMENT
Officers in Field Differ from Officers on Bureau Duty
 in Washington

Washington, June 14.-Major Til son. representative from Connecticut declares, since his return from a month with the troops at San An torio. that when Congress wants in formation about the army and es- pecially what the soldiers think, the committees should not call upon the bureau of chiefs in Washington, but should get hold of the men actually in the fieId, with the troops.
 AS a member of the House Com mittee on Military Affairs, Rep Til son has been attending frequent hearings during the last year on leg islation pertaining to the army. The witnesses have been almost exclusive lv men on permanent details in Washington, men doing office work, who have long been absent from their regiments. This method he now believes. is waste of time
 While at San Antonio, Major Tilson took a census, or poll, of the officers of each brigade, asking their opin- ions on the matters of legislation which have been under discussion at the Capitol. He was surprised to find that on almost every point, the men in the field disagreed with the Bureau Chiefs at Washington. One of the most striking differences of
