Talk to Fair Visitor at
Reception

Ishi, the aborigine of, the. wild Deer
creek country of Shasta county, held
an "at home yesterday in the an

Colleges under the social direction of
the University of California True,
Ishi didn't serve pink tea and waters

but he did give practical demonstra-
tion of the primitive methods. of weav-
ing a fishnet.
1t was rather long day for Ishi.
He occasionally. complained of being
tired However, he stuck to his task
fairly well and by o'clock the meshes
numbered enough at least to catch a
Deer creek minnow. At times Ishi
seemed to be embarrassed by the con-
stant and inquisitive- gaze of the many
pretty women. He seemed to find re-
lief by hanging his towseled head and
scratching one foot with the big
bronze toe of the other. and, turning
his back. quietly pursue his fishnet
knitting.
During the afternoon but few grunts
were exchanged between Ishi and Sam
Batwee. who officially interprets South
Yana into English. Finally Ishfs long
face lit up. A few more grunts were
exchanged and then Sam Batwee sent
for w. G. Waterman of the department
of anthropology. who was receiving the
guests for the host.
Instructor Waterman came In a
hurry. He had climbed three flights
of stairs and was out of breath. It
was worth while, for Ishi, for the first
time since being in captivity, had ex-
pressed interest in the fairer sex Or.

big. tall blond was leaning over
the railing of the box stalI in which
Ishi was confined. Others eager to see
the wild man from Shasta county had
been compelled to fall back so as to
make room for the blond womans hat
1t seemed as il it were some feet IN
diameter. Ishi's phlegmatic soul was
moved. Turning to Sam Batwee, he
grunted:

Plan Called Feasible
Al. r. Porter tonight interviewed
Miguel Borges of San Jose Costa Rica.
the proprietor of La Information, the
government organ there and other In
f1uential journals in Costa Rica and
Nicaragua. When this plan was laid
before him and Borges asked If it were
feasible he replied that the sapoa river
was navigable. and said:
The clefts and ravines atsthe foot of
the hills are already so deep that 1t is
wondersome one has not thought before
Of this simple problem OF solving the
interoceanic canal problem.
Borges was then asked Ii it were true
that the German Influence in Nicaragua
and Costa Rica was very strong, as re-
ported.
GERMANS ARE INFLTENTIAL
German capital IS very heavily and
adversely invested in both Costa Rica
and Nicaragua he replied. .As q re-

of Germans is unusually powerful

The wreck. which occurred at Fort

A passenger train scheduled to leave
this city for the south about the time
of the accident was converted into a
relief train and sent to the scene of the
accident and later returned here with
the uninjured and several of those who
were slightly injured. All of these
were sent on their way.
The more seriously injured are being
cared for at the army hospital at Fort

Route Is Shorter

Ine new canal VIII cost an 1nf1n1teS1-
NAL part of the sum the United States
has already expended on the Panama,
canal. 1t will be a shorter route,
more advantageous commercially. to
tramp steamers and sailing vessels and
the tolls will be comparatively small.
It will accommodate only light draft
ships. cruisers and torpedo boat de-
stroyers and will be absolutely neutral
in case of war.
1t has been learned from reliable au-
thority that the Washington govern
ment last spring sent a diplomatic
agent to Costa Rica to learn how far
negotiations had advanced and
whether German engineering parties
had done any work in the hills back of
the Sapoa river. This agent recently
returned made his report and has been
sent to the coast to communicate the
facts in his possessionx-to President
Taft
Original American Plan
The plan Of the Washington govern
ment, when contemplating the Nicar-
aqua canal route, was that the water
course should begin at San Juan del
Norte on the Atlantic ocean. follow
the course of the San Juan river to
Lake Nicaragua and by canal to Brito
on the Pacific coast.
The plan of the Berlin syndicate is
said to be to take advantage OF the.
original waterway to Lake Nicaragua
and then use the course OF the Sapoa.
river to point where the latitudinal
line which runs through Salinas island
and Salinas bay, also bisects the Sapoa
river. The distance between the Sapoa
river and Salinas bay at this point Is
about seven miles. 1t is planned tos

BLUSH ALWAYS A BLEMIsH
Addiction Is Unnatural and May Be
Done Away With II Proper
Care Is Exercised.

A flush is a very different thing
from a mere blush. The latter is u.s.
ually an improvement, and disappears
as gently and as unobtrusively as it
comes. But the flush may dye every
feature crimson-even purplish
crimson at times-or it may settle in
patches and blotches, causing the I'M
fortunate sufferer untold distress.
There are several sauces for this
unnatural blushing. Excessive emo
ton of some kind, too thin skin, in
digestion and tight lacing are the
chief ones. In the first case, the evil
is to be prevented only by a systemat-
tc attempt to control the mind. In
the second, care is needed as to the
daily treatment Of the face. No
strongly perfumed soaps must be used
and no hard water.
Apply cucumber extract frequently,
and make this at home by pounding
up cucumber in a mortar and
squeezing the pulp through coarse
muslin. Also use good pure cold
cream at nights. AS regards the in
digestion, that is to be cured very
soon under proper treatment and care
as to diet; and about the tight lacing
we'll, any girl who is foolish enough
to torture herself in such a manner
deserves the trouble that is bound to
result.

GIVE THE DISTINCTIVE TOUCH
Initials on Articles of Personal Use
Add Greatly to Pleasure Of
Preseason.

Nothing gives so distinctive a touch
as initials. Whether in silver, sta
tionery, handkerchiefs or household
linen, monogram or initials en-
hances the value of a gift.
There is much difference in engrav-
Ing, so 1t pays to get your silver or
jewelry where you know artistic mark
ing is done.
Letter and note paper for formal
correspondence is invariably marked.
Most women have several dies, one
with their addresses for business and
ordinary correspondence, the other
with monogram or crest, for personal
notes.
Just now the letters woven into cir
cles, diamonds or oblongs and placed
at the upper left hand corner of note
paper or card are extremely popular.
Conservative women remain true to
the three block initials, rather small,
placed in center of paper or at left
hand corner.
The hostess who entertains fire.
quently has her monogram or crest
stamped on gilt or silver-edged place
cards, which are kept always on hand
for emergencies. The die from ones
monogram paper can be used, the
stamping being done in gold or silver
unless to match a special decoration.
A 25-cent handkerchief will take
quite new air If the initials of the
owner are embroidered on it. The
lettering for ordinary ones is in small,
plain letters across one corner; for
more elaborate ones a monogram or
initials inside a medallion is preferred.
Bureau covers, table scarfs; linen
pillow slips, and centerpiece which
can be picked up cheaply at white
sales will look vastly better If marked
with initials
Bolster rolls of plain linen are bet
ter looking if they have three five-inch
initials worked IL the middle. They
should be heavily padded to stand in
bold relief
The girl who has little time for
fancy work should learn only to en-
broider initials. 1t does not take long
to mark ones belongings, and 1t In
creases their beauty. Especially for
gifts is lettering useful. 1t makes
them attractive and personal.
See that the padding is regular and
well rounded and that the covering
for the satin stitch is taken firmly
with stitches close together, but not
overlapping, and with edges even.
