HUNTERS AND ROADS
TO AGREE ABOUT DOCS
Transportation of Dogs Has Given
Trouble.

Atlanta, Dec. 16-Without the need
of the railroad commission stretching
out its strong arm, the railroads Of
Georgia and the hunters are about t.
reach a mutually satisfactory agree
ment regarding the rules covering the
of dogs.
The railroads have agreed that the
hunters shall have the privilege, it is
understood, of taking their own dogs
into the baggage car and checking
them there, instead of in the baggage
room of the station, and that at the
end of the journey they can go and
get their own dogs out of the car. The
railroads intend to charge excess
baggage rates on the dogs, but this
the hunters do not specially object to,
particularly as in the past it was the
almost universal custome to give the
baggage man fee for looking after
the dog. No formal agreement has
yet been made, but it is understood
the row will be settled amicably along
the lines indicated.

NEW YORK LOSING POPULATION.

The greatest shrinkage of popula-
ton which New York city has ever
known is now under way at a rate
which, if it continues, may render i'll
secure New Yorks claim to be the
largest city in the country and the
second largest in the world. Nearly
half a million persons left New York
this year already, the majority going
back to southern Europe, taking with
them, it is estimated, between $780,
O00, 900 and $100,000,000. So great has
the exodus become that immigration
officials declare that by the end of the
year, so far as the Mediterranean
ports are concerned, emigration from
this country will exceed immigration
to it. 1t is probable, too, that the bal
ance of immigration for the entire
country from all the rest of the world
will not exceed 100000 an unusually
small figure representing only little
more than half the number of persons
who have left this city for southern
Europe alone. This outgoing tide has
so far exceeded all expectations that
there is practically not a single steer
age booking to be secured before the
first of the year. Every vessel leay-
ing the metropolis is crowded to the
limit and New York's population is
being cut down by shiploads of 1000
or $500 each, or at the rate of nearly
Is, 900 a week. Just what the cause
of this great exodus is has not been
definitely discovered Undoubtedly
the awr between Turkey and Italy has
had some effect. So too, has the small
demand for labor in this country. But
both these factors together are not
nearly sufficient to account for this
enormous exodus which, if it CONT
ues long at the present rate, will
knock New York down several pegs
in the ranking cities according TO
population.

the hands of Charles A Damn in 1868
it acquired the real strength of char

Mr.. Dana who truly nodded the Sun,

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE MERCHANT

The following pointers emphasize
the importance of clean stores, clean
sidewalks, pure air, ample light. neat
clerks and other things that most
merchants and concerns might over
look
How to Attract Trade.
= The way you run your business is
your best or your worst advertise
ment If you are not getting as many
customers as you should get, then you
are not doing the proper things to
attract trade.
A business properly run advertises
itself and attracts trade. If careless
methods are used you cannot expect
the best results. To run your busi-
ness properly does not require expert
advice, but thought and attention.
Your success depends on what 9TH
er people think of you and your bust
ness methods In figuring out how
you can attract more trade, put your
self in the position of the public and
look at yourself and your business as
they look at You.
Clean Sidewalks.
A clean sidewalk, especially on
stormy days, is sure to attract the at
tention of the passer-by which will
naturally Draw his attention to the
windows.
Always make 1t point to keep your
sidewalk clean
Your Windows.
Keep your windows clean inside and
out. Change your window displays
often. Many times customers coming
into your store to buy some particular
article will have their attention called
90 some other article in your window.
and buy things that they did not orig
inally intend to purchase Use neat,
attractive signs in your windows. call
'Jhg attention to prices and particular
bargains or specialties.
Cleanliness.
Clean floors, show cases and coun,
tiers attract trade The surest way to
promote cleanliness is to have good
light.
Proper ventilation is very import
ant. People are often unconscious OF
good ventilation, but bad ventilation
is undesirable and very unhealthy
Lights.
Keep your store we'll lighted inside
as well as out A we'll lighted store
is always attractive to people passing
When your customers come into your
store they appreciate your showing
your goods to advantage
Remember that unusual things at
tract trade and advertise your bust
ness. You must not be absurd. bu
you can do unusual things without
doing ridiculous things

Fashions Whispers.

Lingerie dresses arc to he extremely
popular this summer. The favoritism
shown these charming creations of sheer
materials is easily understood when their
freshness and youthfulness consid-
cred. They are so entirely feminine. and
withal so cool and grIish. that II is small
wonder the woman who wears them can
not be induced to exchange them for
more elaborate costumes of silken stuffs
Designers have arranged all manner OF
dainty trimming schemes for these robes
One Of the prettiest Of the importations
Is of sheerest linen made all in one with
corded girdle of emerald green at the
waist. bold design is worked out on
the skirt and bodice. the heavy effect on
the soft material being heightened by
means OF beads.
Irish crochet and a combination of the
crochet with the finer meshed laces Is
seen in large quantities on the hand
somer gowns. In fact. the effect Ia that
of patch Of linen or bat'ste holding to-
gether the webs OF lace.
A unique idea was carried out In one
frock. Tho bottom Of the skirt was edged
with deeply scalloped Irish crochet about
six inches wide. Beneath this edge was
band of peculiar greenish-goi colored
satin ribou. the satin showing between
the scallops and through the mesh of the
lace. With 1t was worn an Irish lace hat
trimmed with great bow OF the gold
ribbon and a knot of deep purple pansies
Gold colored satin pumps and stockings
OF the same peculiar shade completed this
striking lingerie ensemble.
Blouses are now an established and In
Indispensable adjunct to every woman's out
fl, from the tailor shirt 1.-The newest
dressy examples. Some of the latest
models are made in sort of bolero ef-
feet and appear to hang over the skirt
and do not disappear beneath the waist
belt many Of them ending in q little
pieated frill or loose hanging band. One
charming example was made in black
net. with an applique of white silk thread
working over II. and was. mounted on
black chiffon with an inlet piece of tuck
ed net on the shoulders running down to
the elbow. The high waist was caught
In with a cherry -colored cord, from which
hung little pleated frill. The same
cherry shade was carried out i'm buttons
outlining the yoke. and the front was
finished with two black velvet ends of
of the cherry shade. Another charming
example was In white lawn. with inser-
tions of torchon, with one wide band OF
insertion above the waist. The knobs In
the delicate embroidery were worked In
with pale pink. and the open pattern In
pale blue. There was no collar and the
kimono sleeves were elbow length while
the blouse hung over the high wasted
skirt. giving the new bolero effect.
Tailor skirts In French batiste. with a
dainty jabot will be much worn. and
present a smart and neat finish to the
morning tailor costume. while plain we'll
cut shirts In lawn and linen or silk are
always and deservedly popular.
