Mrs. Birney approves of all kinds OF
domestic science being taught in schools.
She said that the teaching should be
started as soon as a girl is able to ap-
preciate her studies and continued until
her graduation from school.
In Boston there are schools which, IL
Is claimed, teach all the branches OF
motherhood. Students are taught not
only the finer arts of domestic science.
but are given practical instruction. The
Schools say the visitors, teach the
branches which are usually the source OF
much anxiety to the young mother. and
have never lacked pupils.
The opinion of all of the persons inter-
viewed seemed to emphasize the neces-

pointed out that while experience may
be the best teacher, experience may be
recognized at sight by the young woman

teachers.
A canvass Of the Washington schools
has shown a surprising percentage which
do not even teach such domestic sciences
as cooking. In most cases, 1t was said.
courses in French, literature, and higher

But there was one man to whom the

Supt. Smith, of the Botanic Garden. who
objected to the encroachment upon his

the Supreme Court Of the District of Co

why they should cut down trees in public
places within the District. 1t was not
until April, 1905. that the commission was
able to give orders to remove three trees
of historic interest to safe places and to
proceed with the excavation, and even
then they had to cut something Off the

history written in bronze and marble by
the sculptor's chisel to tell to the coming
generations something of the labor. the
bloodshed, and the suffering that goes to
the making of a great nation.
Back in the early months OF the year
l90l-so long ago that many of the peo-
pie of the nation have forgotten about
it-there was passed by Congress an act
authorizing the erection of statue or
memorial of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant not
to exceed in cost the sum of a quarter
of q million dollars, to be placed in any
unoccupicd part of the District of Column
bia, excepting in the Capitol grounds or
those of the Library CT Congress.
The work was intrusted to a commits
sion to consist of the president of the
Society of the Tennessee, the chairman
of the joint committee on the Library,
and the Secretary of War. So the work
was undertaken by Gen. G. NJ Dodge,
Senator George Peabody. and Elihu Root,
who called for the submission of COM
petitive designs by architects and sculp-
tors by March, 1902.
Men Who Designed the Monument.
No fewer than twenty-seven responses
came from twenty-three architects, and
the award was finally made to the de-
sign submitted by Architect Edward
Pearce Casey and Sculptor Henry Mer-
win Shrady. These are the names of the
men who have done things that count
big in the artistic world and no mean
fame is already theirs.
1t was Mr.. Casey who completed the
Congressional Library, of which the
whole nation is justly proud. He, too,
planned the memorial bridge. in 1900.
across the Potomac to Arlington. He
also designed the wonderful Connecticut
Avenue Bridge across Rock Creek, and
it was this same architect who won over
seventy competitors for the design of the
Memorial Continental Hall for the Ma.
tional Society Of Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution.
Henry Merwin Shrady. while a young
man, Is eminently qualified to collaborate

 Short coats are the rule among the modish silk three piece costumes and the word short is an elastic term, meaning anything from .bolero or E'ton or the little coat ending in a plating or frill below an Empire waist line to the hip length coat which is the most generally accepted version of the short coat.
 Long coats en suite with one piece frocks of silk are shown, though not in such profusion as the short ones, and some of them are exceedingly interesting and attractive. while oth- CTS, particularly in the taffetas, are

Bisbee daily review., 1911-06-08

NEW YORK, June 7.-Fashion ex- perts are of the opinion that separate coats and wraps will be prominent this spring, not only for evening wear, but for street use as well. They are seen most frequently, as are the suits, in the Empire styles. Often this effect is obtained by a cord or tassel. where the waist and skirt of the coat join. or sometimes belt is employed, visible in the back or front only.
 Although there is a tendency toward the raised waist line, some of the newest modes show instead the very opposite, or the elongated waist Nearly all the most modern spring coats are cut so as to give the fash ionable narrow silhouette, but care must be taken to avoid extremes which are distinctly in bad taste this season. The new coats are made iD such a way as to be comfortable in walking.
 For Evening Wear.
 For evening wear. the draped wraps are most seen, in al sorts oi soft, supple materials. The side fas tening continues in vogue in these vraps. some fastening at the side just below the waist line and others as far down as the knees. All varie- ties of rivers are seen, the long mar rc1 ones. the soft drapei and the in- croyable. Collars include the Nautch shawl, sailor, Charlotte Corday or fichu. and large round or pointed ef- fleets. On storm coats military col- I. 4A u much seen. There are a few hoods, and false or simulated hoods are much in favor
 In most of the tailored coats the sleeves are like those in mems over coats, put in without fullness at the top. cut straight and finished off with a small turnback cuff or a few buttons. In the utility and auto coats both peasant and raglan sleeves are seen. particularly the former. In ey' ening and afternoon wraps three quarter sleeves are much in favor They are sometimes finished off with deep turnback or gauntlet cuffs and are cut wide, so that the wrap can be slipped on or of without diff cuty
 Fun Length Coats.
 Full length coats are distinctly in the best style. A few tailored coats are seen coming just below the knees, bat short coats are for the greater part conspicuous by their absence. For tailored coats, the favorite fab. rics are Scotch tweeds and home spuns, fancy mixtures in mems suit ings, ratines and serges. These are seen in checks. broken plaids, stripes and double-facer effects.
 Black sarin, especially in the woolback styles, is much in favor for evening and even for afternoon wear, though it is to be very much prefer red exclusively for the former pur- pose.

IA FEW HOT WEATHER HINTS.

"A FEW HOT WEATHER HINTS.
 Swat the fly.
 Don't make a junkshop of your stomach. A glass of pure milk with bread and butter, an egg and disn of fruit costing about 25c is a much better meal for the average person than a big sirloin steak. which with trimmings costs several times as much.
 Swat the fly.
 Disease germs kill more than half the human race. Flies carry germs.
 Take another swat at the fly.
 The human traveller who permits the porter to brush his dust and dirt into the faces and promiscuously on to the persons of his fellow travellers is akin to the fly who wipes his feet un our food.
 Swat that fly again.
 And now that it is about the begin. hing of the rainy season it should be the pleasure as well as the duty ol all good citizens to see that there are no holes about their premises which will retain water and encour- age the breeding Of the mosquito pests.
 Swat the fly again.
 Keep your milk receptacles abso- lutely clean and protect them from flies, cats and dogs.
 Avoid stimulating drinks. A glass Of butteTmilk will do you more good in hot weather than any alcoholic drink.
 Take a final swat at the fly. Don't worry and keep cool.
