Hair Ornaments for
Girls Should Be Simple

Simplicity rules in the arrangement OF
the hair for all young girls, and while
the braid or twist is still tied with RIB
hons no further adornment must be
contemplated. For the college girl,
however, and a girl at her first college
"prom," there are some novel orna-

are delightfully."- simple and girlish In

ShreWd Woman Can
Dress Cheaply This Year

The woman OF moderate means must
needs be possessed of calm Judgment
this season or she will be led Into such
an expenditure for dress as will SER
lously interfere with her peace of mind
and, incidentally, her bank account.
Materials are more than usually at
tractive, and clothes are certainly both
distinctiye and original, but in their
the danger that must be avoided.
Fortunately there is every opportunity
afforded also for the clever manager to
be well turned out" with comparatively
season when old gowns could so easily
be made over satisfactorily.
AS rule, making over gowns is an
experiment that sometimes proves more
costly than buying new ones, and. in
deed, it is well always to calculate
closely what the price will be before
beginning recklessly to do over an old
gown. Street costumes are not to be in
cluded in the renovation scheme; the
skirts can be altered on the lines Of
late winter fashions and the coats can
be shortened and the costume will easily
pass muster, especially IL new revers
and fresh lining are added. with the
coat and skirt thoroughly cleaned and
well pressed.
SILK gowns II veiled in marquisette,
chiffon or some one of the new trans
parent fabrics will look like new even
when they have been given UP as hope
less. A great deal depends upon color
ing this season-all the better for the
renovation is this-and palest gray or
pink silk that has quite lost its fresh

chiffon will look absolutely new. All
depends upo nthe original gown; II It
is a good shape and fits well, then there
is no difficulty In yelling 1t, but 1t must
be perfect in those respects. Gray and
crimson, blue and mauve and always
black over any color will prove satisfac-
tory, while the band Of black satin fac
ing the underskirt and the high black
satin girdle will give a delightfully."-
smart effect.

Fires are a form Of national entertain
ment which is becoming more popular in
America with each decade. The Ameri-
can fire has been so improved in effec-
tiveness and in spectacular features in
late years that 1t is now able to draw its
audience from a baseball game, a prize
fight, or an aeroplane race with equal
ease.
Fires are viewed with pleasure and en-
thusiasm by all classes, from the limou-
sine to the kerosene strata A good fire
costs more to produce than grand opera,
and is even more Improbable to the pro-
prietor. as a rule.
Fires are caused by overheated Chin
neys, spontaneous combustion, cigarettes,
crossed wires, exploding stoves, and poor
business. When a building becomes few
erish from any OF these causes, the fire
department is instantly called. and it
adds to the horror Of the occasion by
squirting water on the piano. the hard
wood floors, and the cook. America has
the most talented and resourceful water
squirters in the world. which is only nat
ural, however, because they have three
times as many fires 10 practice on as the
firemen OF any other country.
Fires usually visit our homes in the
night, and are more terrible as guests
than burglars or convention delegates.
Almost every American citizen has been
compelled AT least once in his life to rise
at a very few a. m, dress himself in a
plug hat and a portlere, and lower him
self down the smoke-filled back stairs
with a baby in one hand and a waste
basket in the other. When fires occur
in schools, hotels, or theaters, the con-
sequences are Unspeakably sad at times,
because Of the prevailing American habit
OF making buildings safe for their occu-
pants only after they have burned down.

CARPENTER Is HEIR
TO A BIG ESTATE
Brooklyn Laborer Found to
Be Entitled to S85, 900, 900.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE heir to a mat
ter Of SIS, 100000 which has been causing
King George, the Duke of Marlborough,
trouble has been found in the person
OF Joseph Cola, a Brooklyn carpenter
sixty-five years OF age.
A prominent New York attorney stated
to-day that Cola IS beyond a doubt the
man for whom the British government
has been seeking.
The estate is in Newfoundland. and
consists of several miles Of water front,
rentals, interests, and a huge fishing
industry. The income has been a source
of much wrangling in England, and some
OF it has been going to Lady Elizabeth
Churchill
1t is explained that one Samuel
Churchill went to st. Johns seventy
five years ago and laid the foundation
OF the great fortune. He had two
daughters, Elizabeth and ClermOnt. and
one son, Nicholas. Clermont married
the captain Of a fishing vessel and was
disinherited. Nicholas was taken by
pirates while on his way to London and
forced to walk the plank. He left a will
bequeathing his shaIc. of the estate to
Clermont- About Auaat time Cola
married a ChurchN and, the two
sisters dying without an ISSUE the
Coilas became the direct descendants and
heirs to the estate.
Samuel Churchill was Of the MarIbor-
ough-Churchin family and the Duke OF
Devonshire comes into the case through
a blood connection.
Coila's family consists OF his wife and
two daughters, Mrs. Katherine Green,
Of Rochester, and Cora B. Cola.

making him a permanent member Of the
General Staff until retirement. The Hay
scheme, which Gen. Wood approves in
principle, is in its detail destructive of
the vital principle of the General Staff,
" hich Is that no officer can serve on the
General Stan for more than four years
continuously.
1T would be much better to have no
consolidation at all than to sacrifice this
principle" says Gen. Wood.
OF Representative Hays proposal that
the enlistment period be made five years,
Gen. Wood says:
ITO lengthen the term OF enlistment to
five years would not only reduce the
number OF men passing under military
instruction, but would have a tendency
to encourage a certain class OF men to
remain permanently in the army, and to
discourage altogether another class,
probably the best class, from enlistment
THE long enlistment and re-enlistment
system means no reserve, and an ineffi-
cient army, due to the inevitable inertia
of our commissioned officers and enlisted
personnel which must result from such
a system
Gen. Wood also announced his vigorous
opposition to the Hay plan for merging
the quartermaster's commissary and
pay departments, not in principle, but
because Of the proposed method Of &C
complishing the merger.

GEN. WOOD OPPOSES
HAY PROGRAMME
Chief of Staff Discusses Needs
of the Army.

In carefully chosen language yet none
the less positive, Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, Chief Of STAFF, states in his an
nual report his determined opposition to
prominent features of the Hay pro-
gramme for army reorganization. This
expression upon the part of Gen. Wood
is construed as the answer Of the school
OF military though, headed by the Gen
eral STAFF, to the challenge of a rival
force in the army, Of which Adj Gen.
Ainsworth is considered the head. Gen.
Ainsworth's views are understood to have
been accepted by Representative Hay in
his programme as chairman OF the House
Committee on Military Affairs.
Representative Hays scheme for the
consolidation OF the Adjutant Generals
and Inspector Generals Offices with the
General Stan will, in its method of exc
cution, result in serious injury to the
military service" Gen. Wood says. 1t

GUS classes of cities have different
numbers of councilmen provided. The
Allen Law provides for three legis-
lators, with the additional provision
that in emergencies the entire elector-
ate becomes the legislative body. The
supreme court may decide that d.
rect legislation is unwise, but it will
never say the legislature is prohibited
by the constitution from enacting a
general law that provides the Qualifi-
cations and number of legislative Off
GERS of a city.
But this direct legislation is not
new under the constitution OF the
state. On the contrary, we have num-
erous instances of it, in fact Aber-
deem, as a whole, has three PROPOSE
tons to affirm or deny at a special
election next Saturday, when two
bond issues and the location of the
North Aberdeen bridge are to be de-
cided. Two of those propositions are
legal referendums, under state law
that has stood the test of the SUI
preme court ever since Washington
became state, and to question it's
legality would be to attack the valid
ity of ninetenths of the outstanding
bonds in the state
AS the referendum is clearly legal
procedure. there remains but the in
itiative in the way. 1t may be pre-
sumptious in a layman to venture a
prediction on legal proposition not
yet decided in court, yet the Herald
will risk the assertion that the su-
preme court will at least experience
difficulty in holding the present law,
which refers certain matters to
vote of the people to be constitution
al and at the same time declare the
legislature powerless to provide GER
tain other matters subject to similar
procedure. 1t would be difficult to
discover constitutional provision
that permitted this reference only
when certain classes of legislation
were to be affected
Mr.. Hogan is doubtless filled with
dread of calamities to come with the
adoption of direct legislation. His
argument is an eloquent appeal to re-
frain from it, and the Herald does not
question his right to the views ex-
pressed. 1t only dislikes to have it
put in the form of legal opinion up
on a constitutional question.

The Laws Delays

Two years ago it was said of the
state of Illinois that there We're more
judges administering justice than was
the case in the whole of England, and
yet the work was always far in ar
rears. Chicago has established a new
court, which, having permission to
amend its laws of procedure, has
cleaned up the slate and finds no diff
Guilty with fewer judges in keeping
it clean
Where the laws delays are in the
interest OF justice there should be
every latitude extended, but where
they are based on technicalities which
do not affect the justice of the point
at issue they are intolerable and tend
only to bring that law into disrespect.
Recently a man was tried in this
city for leading a dsorderly life, and
evidence, it was asserted could be
produced to show that he was guilty
of trafficking in white slavery The
actual charge preferred was that of
vagrancy and this was based upon
the municipal law. In defense it was
pleaded that the acts of which the
man was accused did not constitute
vagrancy under the municipal law. al
though it was admitted that had the
charge been drafted under the state
law they would have done So The
evidence was rejected and the man
discharged.
1t is true that he was Immediately
rearrested for the same offense, the
indictment being made under the
state law. The evidence will now be
heard. In the first hearing the time
OF the court was occupied and also
that of the police and their witnesses.
That has all gone for nothing. Every
step has to be taken again. Wherein
would justice have been hurt if the.
first charge had been amended at the
time, as is the case in courts of sum-
mary jurisdiction in Chicago? If such
a step might have been taken by the
officers of the court, that defense
would never have been entered and
neither time nor money would have
been wasted Why is it that in
legislature full of men from the legal
profession points as simple as these
are not Strengthened out? Is it that
the legislators would rather represent
the immediate interests of their pro-
fession than the cause of the people?

SPECIAL ELECTION
Three Propositions Referred to Popu-
lar Vote at Special Election
Next Saturday

Every qualified voter of Aberdeen
should familiarze himself and with
the propositions to be voted upon at
the special eelction to be held next
Saturday, so as to be in position to
vote intelligently upon them. A fail
ure to vote is an evasion of civic
duty that should estop those failing
from any and all criticism as to the
result for all time.
There being practically no opposi-
ton to the refunding bond question,
little interest is being manifested. nor
i the location Of the North Aberdeen
bridge attracting much attention,
aside from the comparatively small
number Immediately interested in the
location. The element on East Second
street that is fighting the removal is
the only active factor in the case so
far, and they stand to win unless
there is some organized opposition.
The Wishkah river is waterway of
vast importance to Aberdeen, and
every property owner in the city is
interested in its greatest efficiency.
Navigators of the river and disinter-
ested civil engineers from Seattle,
agree with the city engineer that the
erection of the bridge at the new site
selected by the city council, would
better serve the needs of navigation,
and the Herald believes this should
be sufficient for the voter with no
personal interest to cast his ballot
for the removal. But, the chances
are largely in favor of the PROPOSE
ton going by default to the small
by personal interests.

Lloyd Skinner climbed up the stone
face of the dam at Electric lake, in
New Jersey. and when he had reached
the top he fell down to the bottom.
This is Il bad habit that some boys
can never break themselves of. Lloyd
did more than fall AS he passed a
Jagged rock his coat caught. and it
was taken off his back as neatly as If
somebody had tried to hold him up by
the ends of the sleeves. BY the time
he coached the end of his fall he had
lost shoe as well. In return for
these losses he received large black
and blue bruise on his back. but other
wise his thirty foot tumble did not do
him much harm.
