These measures do not as RUE oc-

body has for consideration numerous
other questions which are not so easi-

of the attention of the senate. 1t is

earthquake of terrific intensity had
occurred far to the south. The exact
location was in doubt but following
the violent tremors recorded last night
the authorities today expressed the
opinion that the disturbance had
swept great area of territory. The
first shock at Loyola college was re-
corded at Gas last night but these
were slight compared with the tre-

In Present Stage II 10 Thing OF
Beauty and Joy Of tho
Season.

There is no end to the variety OF
form and color assumed by the ever
increasingly popular empire bag. In
its present stage It is a thing OF beauty
and JOY OF the season. though. being
a child of Dame Fashion, It cannot be
a Joy forever.
You have no idea how much money
can be centered on the development OF
these handsome and thoroughly charm
ing envelopes. Costly gilt ornaments
are seen on many OF the more elab-
crate ones, some Of which are made
entirely of gold, silver. copper or steel
colored lace. Semi-precious stones
are used to carry .out a flower pat
tern or to highten the effect OF con-
ventional designs. Inside are trap
pings of silver. gold or ivory. tiny
vanity cases. mirrors. powder puffs.
lip pencils and the like.
Another idea that has caught the
fancy OF the woman who counts noe
cost, is an empire bag OF brocade.

hat or its trimmings. Usually this

models edged with bands OF fur, such
as moleskin. Persian lamb. chinchilla

the bag and the flap. which buttons

plainest OF autumn suits would as
sumo a smart tone when worn with
such ultra fashionable foibles.
Bags OF broadcloth OF the same ma,
terial as the suit have deep chenille

mountings of gun metal, old gold or

To put a low priced basket on the
market with raw willow at its present
price the wages must be cut lower
than the normal standard in America.
For this reason the trade is almost
entirely In the hands of immigrant
basket makers, who know no other
trade and who are seldom or never
reinforced by native workmen.
The remedy lies in a reduction in
the cost of the raw material. The
cheaper the willow (when good in
quality the better the wages which
can be paid to produce a low priced
basket, and a low priced basket Of
good quality will find an almost un-
limited market. On this point the en-
tire trade agrees.
Great care should be taken in the
selection of the willow bed Rich.

best returns, though ordinary moist
sandy land often yields profitable
crops of willow.

Avoid land on which water is stagnant
during the summer. If by drainage

lowered at least six feet below the
surface, the situation may be consid

Do not plant willows in localities
where early frosts occur. The tender
shoots are easily injured by the
cold.

the shoots OF even the best varietie

brittle after the stools become old.
