Something more than a coat is re-
auired by the girl going forth In the
evening to some gala function or

make her comfortable, and If they are
selected they need not be clumsy or
unbecoming.
One of the cheapest and most re-
warding head muflings OF the season
is Shetland wool scarf or auto veil.
for these pretty things can be worn
over the face. These filmy scarfs
come in all colors and pure white, as

KR HE busy saws in the mahogany
mill are going day and night
at this season of the year.
There are seasons during which
only one day runs are made, but
the strain is on just now, and the ma
chinery never stops. During the "a
hours $4,000 feet of lumber are cut in
the mill. Month after month the ships
come over, at least 20 cargoes year
coming to anchor beside the gunwale.
There is no such thing as bringing the
logs In ballast. they compose the
ships entire cargo. Al great many
ships are devoted to this enterprise,
and to them there is no other object
In life but to get the logs from the
tropical ports and bring them to New
Orleans and unload them and 60 back
for more. Ten million feet year of
mahogany comes into New Orleans,
and is partly manufactured here.
IN Mexico. Honduras and Central
America the contractor gives five dol
lars for a single tree. This is cheap
enough. But it is the expense of get
ting It out that counts, and that makes
mahogany an expensive lumber. It
stands deep In the forest In the midst
of an almost impenetrable jungle.
There are no groves OF them-the
trees are scattered, perhaps not more
than two to an acre. 1t may be that
there is no water course at hand on
which the logs may be fioated to the
port. The tree has to be located by
the hunter" whose business it is to
roam through the forest in search Of
mahogany trees and to blaze q way to
them, SO that they may be found
again. Then the workmen must cut
their laborious way to the tree, 5fsing

course OF time the men get to the tree.
There is no such thing as a forest Of

kind, and never thrives better than

timber Of several unrelated trees,
among which are various species OF eu.

IS the genuine tree. Africa, in addi-

Yeast sixty feet from the ground At
the bottom is a huge swelling, after

tree is to be cut above that. six or

Lexington has . Circuit judge.

themselves facing an unusual situa,
ton, and in the opinion Of Judge John
Lockett, assistant attorney general
there is no relief to be obtained
Judge Watts Parker is i'll and unable
to hold court, yet under the curstruc-
ton of the law placed on it by Judge
Lockett the governor has no power
TO appoint special judge or designate
regular judge to act in Judge Par
ker's stead
There is talk here OF mandamus
suit to compel the governor to desfg-
nate a Judge, and it Is likely that such
suit will be filed so that. the court
Of appeals can pass on the novel point
raised.
In the law making regular judges
act as special judges outside their dis
tricts there is a provision which ex,
empts from the scope Of the act courts
in cities OF the first and second Classes
having continuous session. The law
does not affect any place except Lex
ington and Newport seriously In
Kenton county there are two judges,
and when one is i'll the other acts. In
Louisville there are six judges and
one can act for another. But in New.
port and Lexington there is only one
judge When that judge is i'll there
is NO provision of the law for way
to fill the vacancy.
The question of whether or not
judge could be designated by the gov
errfor to take the place Of Judge Par
ker was presented to acting Gov Cox
They asked Gov. Cox to designate
judge in Judge Parker's place. Gov
Cox referred the question to Judge
Lockett, and the latter said that the
governor could not interfere. He sug-
gested that a suit be filed SO that tine
question could be tested There is
said to be danger that if special
judge should be designated the court
of appeals might knock out a judgment
given with the special judge on the
berch, and this would work a hard
ship on litigants.
Gov. Cox said that he had not made
any appointments and would not do
so, as the opinion OF the attorney gen.
eral prevents him from acting. He
said it was a question that might be
serious one, and he thought the
rights in the matter ought to be deter
mined at once.
