CLOSET WONDERS
Nee Storage Places Are Mr.

Women architects Il is said, resent the
association OF their names with closets.
Just as If we couldn't build anything
but closets" one Of them snapped tie

man architect couldn't make all the closets
that are necessary"
So the Tribune reporter knew better than
TO make guesses about the sex OF the arch.-

the mistress OF the new house began Dis
playing her closets.

she explained proudly. and they arc
turned on and off with the opening and
shutting OF the door. No matches no cam
die 10 blow in the draft and set fire 70
things and no waste OF electricity. Isn't
that a scheme?"
Then she showed off her closets for shoes
and hats. Each pair OF shoes had sepa-
rate compartment fitted with shoe trees.
The hat commandments we're fitted out with
millinery standards TO keep the hats from
being crushed.
The proud mother had wonderful closes
in the nursery. II contained sliding shelves

other They were very deep. but MADE OF

The architect who planned the linen
closet certainly knew woman's wants. IL

HANDKERCHIEF NECKWEAR.

Many of the smart styles or summer
reckwear may be copied by the use OF
handkerchiefs. and for those who have a
talent for the needle the task is quite
simple The very sheer handkerchief with
the fine scalloped buttonholed edge make
pretty sailor collars. and an extra hand
kerchief can be used for the stylish turn
back cuffs. Another style of handkerchief
which can be converted into pretty neck
accessories is the one with the plain coored
border A dark blue linen border with a
touch Of red makes a pretty combination.
The sheer cross barred handkerchiefs are
lovely Tor the wide square collars and cuffs,
while the handkerchiefs with cross bar
lines in color are also pretty when taste
fully used.

STRAWBERRIES AND GERMS.

Some cook books direct the housewife
not TO wash strawberries, as that takes
from their fine flavor This is undoubtedly
true, but few would care TO eat strawber-
res unwashed when they come from
city grocery or fruit stall. Even after the
most thorough washing that il is possible 70
give them 1t is best not TO think too much
about germs when one is eating them
Fruit exposed to the dust of the street and
to promiscuous handling really ought TO
be sterlized-dipped in boiling water or
scrubbed. This can be done with oranges
bananas, apples and other fruit with firm
skins or rinds, but not with strawberries
These ought TO be kept covered from the
time they leave their native heath until
they reach the consumer. and even then
it would be desirable to have some assur-
ance that they were picked with clean
hands

Colorado House Of Representatives In ac-
ton. They are doing mems work, whhe
the men are down here In Denver having
a good time Why shouldn't the women
come down here and sit In the Legislature

ranch?"
Mrs. Lafferty doesn't seem to enjoy the
Legislature as much as Mrs. Riddle she
is serving her third term and is tired of II.
'Oh. the sacrifices one has to make.
she exclaimed. II have had to give up
everything else for this work.
Mrs. Lafferty has been chiefly interested
in her own eight-hour bill for women. She
has also drafted an educational bill proVlo-
ing for humane and moral teaching III
the public schools. and as chairman OF the
committee on education she has introduced
other measures relating 10 educational sub
jects in Colorado Few women members
Of the Assembly have been so successful
getting these bills through The records
Of one session show that OF Twenty-Five
bills introduced by women not one became
law. but two years ago five Of Mrs. Lam
erty's bills were passed.
Mrs Jones made a record for herself as
a business woman before she went into
politics. She is a quiet little woman. who
always dresses in black. but she has gone
after corrupt politicians in a way that
indicates no lack OF spirit She has intro
duced a corrupt practices bill aimed at
those who practise election bribery, and
she is also interested in bill to control
the salary and appoint a guardian for the
head of a household who squanders money
that should rightfully be spent on his fam
lily. Another of her bills would prevent
the marriage of criminal and diseased per-
sons.
Mrs. KerHin has interested herself in
legislation affecting women and children,
but has introduced few bills.
The four women have united on bills per-
taining 10 educational matters and to wom-
en- and children. but the long contest over
the Colorado Senatorship has played havoc
with their plans. The deadlock of nearly
-FOUR months resulted in the sidetrackng
of many bills that might otherwise have
become law.

AL TAR MINING DISTRICT
 SUFFERS AFTER WAR
Americans Left Mexico During Revo-
 lution, And Have Not Returned.

There is practically nothing doing in the Altar Mining district at this time, says O. G. Rogers. who arrived in Arizona from that section of So- nora last Friday The slack condi- tions are due very largely, he de- clares, to the absence of American mining men and miners who left Mexico at the time of the reNOlu- tion, and have not returned to take up their work again. To make mat ters worse, the summer has been in tensely hot and exceptionally heavy rains have fallen. This has done much for vegetation, says the Tue son Star, but had Americans been there to work the placer mines, they would have found conditions climat- ically, very uncomfortable.
 No Quinner machines are now be-. ing operated in the Altar placer dis- trict, and they have not been oper- ated for several months past. The machine did all that was claimed for it as a crusher but the problem of separating the gold remained. Where was the dry washer to handle the 900 or 400 ton output of a machine? When the best dry washer shall have been obtained so as to handle the low grade placer fields as well as the richer with ease there will be much money made from this big placer field.
 Conditions political are quiet in that district with a prefect in charge who was sent there by Madero before he went to Mexico City. The coun- try is orderly and there have been no disturbances by Magonistas of whom there are many in the Altar district. These came in there from Baha California before peace was agreed upon. Certainly they were the best of Maderistos but while shouting Viva Madero" they lost no opportunities to spread sOcialisitc propaganda. They were making good headway when the peace pact was agreed upon but then there was rothing for them to do but lay down their arms as the others did for they had not perfected what it is believed was their plan, to gain sufficient strength to start an affair of their own with some chance of success.

CONGRESS OF FARM WOMEN.

The first International Congress of Farm Women to be held in Colorado Springs beginning October Is, is one of the most far reaching current results in the activities of women for the public welfare.
