withal so attractive and fattering to
the foot. The pump, about whose be-
comingness there has never been any
question, is now made to fit so per-
fectly that all objections, from the
point Of comfort, are removed. Heels
and toes are not exaggerated, and al
together the new boot is a thing of
beauty and comfort.

Favorite Fashions for the Daughters

fant sleeve, the Dutch neck, and the
surplice effects or varied suggestions OF
the tunic.
For the very small daughters the
diminutive fashions are adorable, with
their subtly modified suggestions of
the prevailing modes in grown-up
styles. The sailor collar, so becoming
to almost any age OF feminity, is
found to be greatly in favor for the lit
tie coats. For the dress-up coat Of silk
or satin the lace collar, in the sailor
shape, gives a pretty finish to the gar
ment. The long roll collars or revers,
with the coat fastening at the side
with two or three good size buttons,
are. also much in evidence on the eail-
cred effects. One neat little model Of
navy blue serge had large sailor col
lar and cuffs of red silk poplin- Three
metal buttons were used to close it,
and laced through the collar was a
black silk tie, the ends finished with
tassels. Many OF the silk coats have
embroidered cuffs and rounded or
square collars, with sometimes a band
OF the embroidery carried around the
skirt. There is a wide choice in ma
terials, many novelty worsteds being
used as well as cheyiots, serges, and
the pongees and satins.
Quaint and novel, but scarcely prac-
ticable unless little Miss Muffet may
be induced to sit decorously on a tut
fet all day long, are the white lawn
dresses drawn in at the bottom Of the
skirts by a wide tucked band Of the

echoes Of the narrow line tendency Of
mothers gowns. Carrying out the
same idea in a less extreme manner
are the long WASTED frocks with a
sash drawn snugly through slides at
the top Of the scant ruf1e that serves
for the skirt. One Of these that was
particularly dainty and pretty was
made with box pleats extending down
the waist between which were bands

styles that have come to be associated
with simple, jaunty youthfulness. The
sailor COLLAR effects, the natty short
coats, the simpler belted-in tunics with
their girlish, round necks-an these
we have appropriated for our smart
spring and summer toggery.
There is surely no style in outer
garments so becoming to a young fig
ure as that which carries out, some
how, the sailor collared idea. The
spring coats show many charming va
riations of It One very dashing model
of black and white check had the wide
collar Of black satin extended to the
belt line in the back and laid in pleats
beneath the broad belt Within the
black collar, to about four inches of
the edge, was another collar Of en-
erala, green taffeta. Many Of these
coats have wide bands Of black about
the bottom, and in the black-striped
white serges the black is also used for
POCKET flaps as well as for the collars
and cuffs.
In suits and gowns the modes for the
young girl show practically the same
tendencies as the prevailing adult fash
ions, modified somewhat, yet at the
same time developed with more daring
freedom. The dressy gowns, in silk or
net, have almost invariably the peas

MAN IS A MEGAP PHONE
Railroad CaruSo With a Cyclone
in Either Lung.
clyde Hayes, Who Calls the Trains in
Chicago's Big Northwestern Sta
ton, Has a Voice Like a
Foghorn.

Chicago.-Clyde B. Hayes is the rail-
road Caruso. Every day from $3.50 p.
m. to IL he proclaims the departure OF
more trains than any other station
caller. His concert platform Is OF all
steel construction and 1t Is located
way up near the splendid ceiling of
the new Northwestern railroad sta
ton.
Thirty thousand people each day
lend appreciAtive ears as he skylarkS
the suburban schedule on the Milwau-
kee and Gaiena divisions, plus enough
overland trains to keep Chicago and
the Pacific coast bound In close fell
lowship. Presidents of the United
States, boy orators. world famous
eyangelists, divinities of grand opera,
baseball umpires-none of these ever
had the constant opportunities Of Train
Announcer Hayes to eniighten and
electrify listening multitude.
Passing swiftly over the poor boy
and burning ambition section Of his
life, we find Hayes in full charge of
night accommodation train in Nebras-
ka. Yes, until recently he was rail-
road conductor, and was treading the
threadbare aisle of Nebraska ac-
commodation, occasionally unlocking
q brightly nickled lantern from his
left elbow and dropping off into the
night to wigwag the engineer.
One day the division superintendent
of the Northwestern line at Omaha
summoned young Conductor Hayes in
to his grim presence.
"Are you aware, Mr.. Hayes, that
you have been turned in number of
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1911-08-17

times lately?" said the superintendent
to the conductor after the latter had
nervously placed his cap on the edge
of the glass topped table.
Hayes trembied and his heart sank.
To be turned in" in railroad patois.
means to be the object of complaints
by passengers.
What have / done, sir?" he muir.
INJURED anxiously.
You have disturbed the sleep of a
large number of passengers on this
line" said the superintendent. Let
tiers have come to me from travelling
men who ride on your train, and they
say that when you announce a station
at night your voice not only wakes
them, but scares them and knocks
them out of a proper frame OF mind
to do business the next day. Here
after, Mr.. Hayes, when calling out sta
lions wish you would not try to dis
place the window panes or experiment
with sound vibrations on the bell rope.
But it seems that Mr.. Hayes Is a
walking library for volumes and vol
umes OF stentorian noise. 1t couldn't
be suppressed. and as he had no time
to attend ball game and let out
steam on the bleachers, he had to re-
sumo his old habit of standing at one
end of a yellow car and closing the
door at the opposite end by sheer force
of his low register. Also he would
cough when impelled by the platform
draft, and the stovepipe would col
lapse with a jangling noise. For
time the gentle patter of cinders
would be stilled and the volatile dents
In the water cooler would take up the
echoes. At least, that was the descrip-
ton given by the sleep-eager passen-
gers who signed petition which was
sent to the big chief at Omaha ere
another month had passed.
The railroad officials were deeply
puzzled by the case of Conductor
Hayes, who had proved himself relia,
BILE and eficient in every other way.
Some one suggested putting him on a
day run, where people sleep at their
own risk, or at the mercy of the train
butcher.
In the meantime the hilarious story
OF Conductor Hayes and the sleepy
drummers found its way to Chicago
and Conductor Hayes was ordered to
report here. He came wondering and
promptly he was set to work learn
ing the list of train departures. Then
when the new station was opened.
like an admiral on the porch OF bat
t,eship, he stood In his high balcony
and began his iuterminable recita-
lions in earnest. For day or so he
wrestled with echoes and acoustic
snares, but now he has mastered the
problem Of resonance in the great sta.
ton.

Take Pittsburg, where, as we
have seen, the typhoid rate was
1877 per 100000 population. Pitts
burg is a city with population
in excess of $4,000 Hence it's
annual death roll from typhoid
must have amounted to 81 times
127, or something like 444. At
$4,000 a life, this death roll will
cost Pittsburgh $2,6e4.O00 a year,
or $26,640,000 every decade. And
the loss to the entire country, fig
uring the typhoid deaths at 10000,
reaches the astounding total OF
$120,O0O,OOO year. or $1,200.000,
900 every decade.
This estimate, however, is with
out question too conservative,
Mr.. Allen Hazen, an eminent
American engineer. says in his
book, "Clean Water and How to
Get It." that the reduction in the
number of deaths In five cities,
brought about through water puri.
flcation, amounted to 440. I'm.
proved general sanitary condi.
tions, he says, were responsible
for 1877 of the 440 decrease. The
typhoid reduction amounted to
only II. The reduction in the
number of deaths from other
causes amounted to 2S2--three
times the typhoid reduction. II

holds good generally. then our ty-
phoid deaths are only small part
