CIRCUIT COURT
ADJOURNED FRIDAY
Term Closes Rather Sud
denly.

What promised to be rather
extended term of the ciccuit court
was brought to a close rather alb
ruptly on Thursday by the dis
missal of the Hardman road case.
The Gilman-Wherry case went tC
the jury late Thursday evening
and was soon decided in favor of
the defendant, and the Hardman
case came on to be heard the first
thing Friday and promised a
lengthy battle. This was a suit
brought on an appeal from the
action of the county court in dis
allowing claims for damages filed
by various parties affected by the
building of the Rock creek road.
There were numerous witnesses
on hand but upon the case being
called, the District Attorney ask
ed for dismissal because of error
in the record. The case was dis
missed, and the docket cleared of
all matters at issue.
There being no further business
calling for the services of the
jury, they were excused for the
term and departed for their sew
eral homes.
The following proceedings, not
heretofore reported, were had:

favor positive fuel injection into the
cylinders in place of carbureters. This
positive form admits of much closer
regulation than is possible with the
carbureter. Because the injection may
be timed, 1t permits of high compress
sions without prelgnition, the fuel In
lection being delayed untn the igni,
ton IL wanted. q
Obviously one OF the chief objee
tons to the general employment Of
fuel injection is that Of communicating
the fuel to the different cylinders
without the Objectionable scheme OF
employing a plurality of pumps. one
for each cylinder. This, besides add
ing complication, scarcely will admit
OF such adjustment as to give exactly
uniform results In all OF the cylinders
difficulty which is no greater than
that of equalizing the intake manifold
from a carbureter so as to produce
uniform feeding.

the caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the
Red Sea- is also held by the Bedouin it would close
the way out to the thousands of pilgrims from
Egypt and India, state of things which would
call for prompt and decisive action The limited
food supply at Mecca would be quickly exhausted
and could not be easily replenished.
Much excitement was caused In Jerusalem by
the discovery that Kerak was in flames as could

The large Bedouin population of Palestine and
the region through which the Mecca railway ex
tends is divided into many tribes If there existed
unity of aim and action among them their oppo
sition to the Turkish government would be most
formidable. For these tribes often at war
among themselves and there is no spirit of or
ganization cohesion among them. But even
as 1t is they have presented a serious problem to
the government
1t is only within few years that the tribes on
the east of the Jordan opposite Jerusalem, the
Adwan and the Benz Sukher, have been brought
under sort OF loose control, and that Kerak has
been occupied by garrison, and likewise the Be
douins in the south, around Beer-sheba, where
government center was established only recently
AT the latter place seraiye has been built, and
also a mosque to please the Bedouins small

SHORT JACKET REIGNS
ETON SHOWN IN NEW CUTS ALL
OF THE kIMoNo STYLE.
This Means Shoulders and Elbow
Sleeves in One Costume With
Skirt of Striped Goods In
Black and White.

To speak of the fashions that bloom
with the spring is not using foolish
smile, for bushels of posies are to
adorn hats and gown materials are to
hint of the blossoms of fields and
woodlands. In point of cut, the short
narrow skirt and short jacket hold
supreme sway, but there are Is many
cuts for both as there are flowers In
the field. However, the empire coat,
this with a very high waist line made
by seam at the sides or all round, is
showing signs of ousting the straight
jacket, while the eton, the tailless
thing one has known these many
years, is fighting hard for broad recog-
milton. The new cuts for these all
show the kimono style with shoulders
and sleeves in one, but unless wom'
an has shapely hips the absence Of
tall Will emphasize the defect.
The kimono style-where can one
escape it? Everything displays the
mania, gown, coats, house frocks,
waists. 1t does not permit sleeve
longer than the elbow, so coat sleeves
are necessarily short when showing
the phase. long gloves going up to the
sleeve edge, or else meeting the bit
OF undersleeve that peeps below.
Our Illustration presents the eton
jacket and side-fastened skirt, plain
material being used very effectively
on striped Now, considering com
bination of like sort, there is moth
ing more up to date than a striped
goods in black and white, and for the
plain trimming there are little silks
of astounding cheapness. The button
molds Of this dress, too, offer another
chance for economy, for where but
tons are ornamentally used, unless
they are of this sort, they must be Of
special prettiness.
Any other spring wool is feasible
for this frock, cloth. tweed, homespun
and all the novelty textures of suf-
ficient body for a tailored effect, But
to have just the right look, the wing
revers of the coat, the cuffs, belt and
skirt band should be In a contrasting
texture as here.
The real views of the style show
how the dress may be changed for a
practical goods, the fronts of the coat
tapping over here and the princess
skirt being entirely plain. Apropos Of
such high-waisted jupes, they are
much seen among the gowns for

military officials at that time gathered the Be-
douins of the region, and gave them presents and,
with great pomp read message from the Sultan.
AS part of the ceremonies many of the Bedouin
boys were brought together to receive presents Of
clothing, etc, and to be circumcised. But
FORT started that this would mark them for
being taken soldiers later, and they fed from
the proposed rite.
These new government stations, and the at
tempts of the officials to ingratiate themselves
with the Bedouins hitherto not subject to the gov
eminent were in pursuance of policy adopted by
the Constantinople authorities about 90 years since
looking to breaking up the old nomadc and indie
The plan was to get the Bedouin youth into
special government school for them at CONSTANT
nope, to confer titles and give presents to the
chiefs, to gradually push forward among the tribes
the line which marked the limit of the authority
of the government, and finally to dsarm and enroll
them with view to military service and tax-levy-
ing. However but little has been accomplished
along these lines.
The building of the Mecca railway which was
hoped would forward the government policy has
instead. led to complications and conflict The
road has had to be constantly patroled by mounted
troops for the Bedouins have been all along greatly
opposed to It, especially because it deprived them

This led the Bedouins to attack the railway "a

her future that l wanted to insure

When the time comes that an avia-

bureter as well as other portions of
the motor upon which he depends
even more than does the chauffeur on
his automobile engine, the problem of
carburetion will not present so many
difficult views.
The ordinary carbureter, says Victor
Lougheed, author and engineer, is in
most respects nonpositive mocha
nism, in consequence of which its func-
tioning is attended with many uncer-
tainties. This is obviously true even

Avoid Crude Colors.

In selecting chintzes and cretonnes
for a livable house one must careful
ly avoid confused designs and crude
colors, for they can very easily and
quickly become tiresome. Another
point to be considered, especially
when trying to find cheap chintzes,
is the fastness of the colors When
using them merely for curtains they
are easily changed, but the cost Of
upholstering precludes frequent
changes. -Harper's Bazaar.
