Black and White Checks
Are Popular in Spring

Our old-time friends, the English gun
club checks are still, or once more, in
evidence.
These smart black and white suitlngs
are very fashionable indeed for early
spring suits-jaunty little tailor-mades
to wear between seasons" when one
has become tired of dark suit and the
weather is still too chilly to permit of
light weight spring suits.
These checks, which are, by the way,
very Rritisk-lOoking, are most service
able indeed. They tailor splendidly.
Then, too, they are quite wide and all
wool, which statement sounds like an
advertisement, but is, nevertheless,
merely a true fact about the fabric.
One may have small or medium-siZed
checks of clear black and white. or
broken checks, or black and white with
a slight suggestion of color.

DINNERS HONOR|NG
WASH|NGTON'S BIRTH
Appropriate Decorations,
With Various Forms of
Entertainment.
By FRANCES CARROLL.

~ VERY American woman should
- celebrate Washingtons birthday
in some manner, not only by
way of paying her tribute to the
man who marched us on to liberty, but
because at this time of the year we
need the cheer of hospitality and en-
tertainment to tide us over these
drear mid-winter days.
In hospitality Washington himself
furnished us a splendid example. When
at home at Mt. Vernon he had his
friends to dinner every Thursday even
ing, genially dispensing his hospitality,
although so strict a host as to have
gained the reputation of waiting no
longer than five minutes for any guest.
Il am sorry, sir, but my cook never
asks whether the guests have arrived,
but whether the hour has arrived" he
would explain to the belated one, who
found the party already seated at din

Another Game
That Is Appropriate.

Another appropriate game has Tins
limit of ten minutes. Pictures of Wash
ington, Lady Washington, Mt. Vernon
war scenes, and other connected places
and events have been obtained from
various magazines and periodicals, and
cut into several pieces.
The fragments are to be heaped up
tn the middle of a table, and the guests
requested to piece them together. after
having been provided with large sheets
OF cardboard and paste. Only one pic
ture is to be built up at a time and
so If a fragment is not available for
that particular picture It Is to be at
once returned to the heap
A flag IS to be presented 10 the guest
lures in the given time.

Charming Favors
For the Dinner.

The charming favors which the
Washington shops are even now dis
playing for George Washington din
ners have no rivals in point of at
tractiveness. OF them all the American
flag, which is so peculiarly associated
with Washington, is the most beautiful
and effective decoration for the dinner
which is given to celebrate his birth
day, and all other forms OF home
amusement.
A colonial game, or something sugges-
tive Of national and patriotic things.
should be a feature of the George
Washington party that is to be given
on February %.
A very interesting colonial amuse-
ment was the making of silhouettes.
and you would doubtless find that your
guests would take to this with avidity.
You should provide yourself with SOME
cardboard and some large sheets OF
paper, white on one side and black on
the other. Fasten a sheet of paper,
white side out, to the wall, and place
a lighted candle about three feet from
the paper

Must Teach Them
To Keep Hands OFF.

But there won't be much harm done
if you have taught him, as every child
should be taught, to keep his hands of
things that do not belong to him.
When he comes to the Sixth Gift, or
toy, with its increased number of OBJ
longs, this falling soldier game may be
played with a great many more soldiers.
Almost every child, in playing with his
oblOnE blocks will discover for himself
how the blocks may be stood in rows,
in circles and in double curves, and
felled with the gentle touch on the first
soldier
The mother must lead him to see why
the thing happens just as it does, be-
cause each brick, in falling when its bal
2nce is disturbed, touches the second
just as you touched the first, and de-
stroys its balance the same way. BY
leading the child to see exactly what
happens he may learn a great deal that
will be of use, without knowing the first
thing about gravitation or anything else
with long name.

Picture Is Traced
In Shadow Lines.

The one whose picture is being taken
sits between the candle and the wall
so that a well defined profile is thrown
upon the paper. The shadow is then
traced. cut out, and pasted on card
board with the black side Of the paper
out The name is then to be written
underneath with the date. A vote is
taken as to the best sketch. a simple
prize presented to the winner, and each
guest is presented with his or her sill
houette as a souvenir.
Another appropriate game is based
upon the career of Washington. Each
guest is given a little map of the At
lantic coast cut from thin cardboard,
and ordered to show the original thlr-
teen States and Canada.
Each map should have a little pencil
attached to it by means of tri-cOlorcG
ribbon. The guests are requested 70
mark all the points of interest in WASH
ingtcns career, twenty minutes being
allowed for this, and the one reading
the greatest number is then presented
with either a life of Washington or d
portrait of him.

Stand on End
lust Like Soldiers.

See, dear; stand one brick on Its END
and the next one quite near to 1t. Then
the next one, just the same distance
away, and all the others in row. the
same way. What are they? Soldiers!
Yes, they do stand in nice, neat row.
Just as soldiers do. Now knock the first
soldier over against the neXt-whyD how
they behave! Each soldier knocks UP
against the next one and over he goes
until they all lie in a row. l wouldn't
give a cent for soldiers that acted like
that Would you?"
Ned falls on this new play with
Shrek of glee, and builds the soldiers
up again only to knock them over. Let
him play falling soldiers as long as he
likes. The next day, or whenever you
think best, coax him, If he does not do
1t for himself, to try the same thing
with the cubes of the first gift, and to
discover why they will not act as the
bricks do. This will lay a foundation
for what you will want to teach him OF
the laws of equilibrium.
Lead his mind back to the ball that
Law still on the fiat surface, but rolled
the moment the table was tipped. He
will see it himself, probably, and may
take to trying the falling" properties
of things in ways that are somewhat
embarrassing to you.

Various Cubes.

- the bricks to play with this
morning. Here is the box.
Take them out for yourself,
Ned"
The little fingers have learned to slip
off the cover and take out the cube OF
blocks complete and they do the same
thing with the bricks.
Out they come, all folded up in the
shape of the big cube, like the cube OF
blocks in angles and bulk. but unlike 1t
in the shape of the parts and in POSSIBLE
tiles The cubes seemed to Ned only to
represent solids, things in themselves.
The bricks may be considered not only
as solid objects, but also as walls to In
clude spaces that in themselves repre-
sent something. A great deal Of variety
may be introduced into the building.
Ideas of form may now be extended
another step taken toward the idea OF
form as recognized apart from form it
self
The bricks suggest forcibly objects
that are taller than they are wide.

Five Years
of Heart Trouble Cured by
DR.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before l began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy l had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. I had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before I could see a
marked change in my condition.
When had taken six bottles I
was cured"
MRS. C. C. GORKEY,
Mortified, Va.
If there is fluttering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.

f PAsO SALOONS
NEED No L|CENCE
No Method to Detect Men
Who Conduct Saloons
Without Permits.

That E. Paso county has no system
whereby 1t can keep track Of the ex-
piration of various licenses was made
apparent Friday morning when 1t was
learned that Pedro PACKAGE. who has
been implicated IN the Sunday selling
violation. has been operating his saloon
since January 5. 1911, without either q
license or permit, according to the
county records.
In speaking of the contemplated
prosecution of the offenders agalnsI
the Sunday law, county attorney Bridg-
ers stated that in the case of PACKAGE,
he would wait until the hearing of his
license application and then would con-
test the granting Of the license and it
was upon referring to the register In
the county clerks office that it was
learned there was no case set for
PACKAGE. Further investigation devel-
oped the fact that PACKAGES license
had expired on January 5, 1911, ana
that since that time he had never made
application for a permit or new Ii
cense, according to the records, but has
continued to run his saloon.
Who Should Keep Track.
When the matter was brought to the
attention of county judge A s. ]. Eylar.
he said that he did not know under
whose jurisdiction the matter of keep
ing track of the licenses would come,
and said that apparently the only way
to handle the matter was to engaged
some one to make a check of all the
saloons in the county.
'I do not know who is supposed to
look after this sort Of a matter" said
Judge Eylar. When the matter is
brought to the attention of the county
attorney it is his duty to prosecute the
men, but apparently there is no way to
keep track of these fellows. While
there is no appropriation made for the
matter, 1 think the commissioners
court should engage a detective to go
around and check up all the saloons II
the county to see that they have their
licenses.
Judge Eylar took the matter up with
attorney Brfdgers and instructed ham,
he says, to get out a warrant for the
arrest Of PACKAGE on the grounds of
running without a license.
Complaints Prepared.
Complaints have been prepared by
the county attorney against Powers &
Truesdell, of the Coney Island saloon
and Ramon Lara, of San Jose, on the
grounds OF violating the law by the sale
of liquor to minors in the Coney Islano
case, and a violation of the Sunday law
by Lara.
In the case OF Nick Depeder, of the
Palace saloon, against whom the charge
Of selling liquor to minors has Deon
made. county attorney Bridgers said
that at the present time Depeder was
running on a permit from the con-
troller's office his new license not
having been granted and that at the
hearing for a new license before judge
Eylar July rs he would contest the is
suance Of a license
One Saloon Closes.
o. H. Edmiston, who runs the Lone
Star Inn, on the county road, has
closed up his place of business and no
prosecution Of the Sunday violation will
be brought against him, said Mr.
