narrow pointed petals gathered into a

ter is in a deep ravine, the banks
of which are difficult TO climb
AS soon as the announcement was
made at Washington, Prof William
A. Cogshall. professor of astronomy
in Indiana university, located in this
city, began the work OF establishing
the center according TO the figures
given, in order that monument may
mark the spot, as has heretofore been
done in Indiana, which state has been
honored with the distinction of hav-
ing the center Of population within
it's confines since the census Of 1890.
Prof Cogshall had a difficult trip
on his preliminary survey and de-
scribed it as follows: with the data
furnished ! drove east OF Bloomington
six and one-half miles, nearly TO the
Brown county line found the
neighborhOod of the center 10 be in
an unbroken second growth forest,
thick with brush for about two miles.
The road up there is perhaps the
worst in the state OF Indiana. The
center itself lies off about half
mile from the road in a deep gully.
II is covered with second growth tim
Der from twelve to fifteen feet high.
The growth is so thick that It is al
most impossible for a man 20 make
his way through II. Before the cen
ter Is definitely and finally fixed II
will be necessary TO make a night
trip 10 the place so that observations
may be taken from the stars"
The ravpe in which the center IS
located is typical of Monroe county
and Brown county ravines and anyone
who has hunted in a gully in this part
OF the state knows the difficulties 20
be overcome. Young trees are 10 close
together that sometimes the hunter
can hardly squeeze through.
The ravine containing the center Is
noted for game. Rabbits. squirrels
and pheasants abound and a. the same
time rattlesnakes and spreading vipers
are not scarce. In the spring the ra.
vines in this part Of the county are
aglow with the bloom Of the red bud
and the dogwood and birds sing and
multiply undisturbed.

Silk, In Serges and Taffetas.

For tailored suits that will also Abs
used for slightly dressy occasion
nothing could be better than a silk
serge. II is more difficult to handle
In making up. but then the result is
worth any extra trouble.
Striped and changeable effects also
come in this line of goods
Besides something new in serge. the
new taffeta deserves mention. With
the craze for soft. sweeping lines, taf
feta proved too harsh material
Now the chiffon taffeta has taken its
place, possessing all the luster of the
old material without its brittleness,
and allowing itself to be draped into
soft folds like chiffon.

Bloomington, lnd.-The center OF
population OF the United states as
figured out by the bureau of census at
Washington. is one of the widest
spots in Indiana. The center is about
four and one-half miles south OF I'm
ionville and seven miles east OF
Bloomington.
According 10 the census of 1900 the
center was six miles southeast Of Co
lumbus, Ind, and thus, during the last
10 years il has moved seven-tenths
OF mile north and approximately
81 miles westward, more than twice
the distance westward over the move
ment of the preceding decade.
The westward movement OF our
population center during the past 120
years is shown as follows:

FIXING THE TOILET TABLE

Often on fastidiously decked dress

women find that the usual silver
backed brush is too soft bristled and
habitually use plain. Inexpensive one

good way to bring them into har-
mony with the surroundings is to COW
er the backs Of such brushes with bro
cade or broche silk
Sandpaper the woof so that 1t will
hold gum or paste. Have the silk cut
the exact size and shape of the brush's
back and paste 1t on very smoothly.
Finish the edge. after the silk is dry.
with narrow border Of gimp or ga

Flowered silk to match the other
toilet belongings has the prettiest ct.

A brush treated in this way makes
an attractive gift. Cretonne and small
