English Suitlngs.

There Is quite a feeling for fancy

melanges in heavy gray. green and
brown. These materials would classi-
fly as English mixtures. Thus far they
have been largely used for travelling
and ~so-cal!ed sporting costumes; that
is, suits for country wear. golf, tennis
shooting, mountain climbing, etc. But
all of the model makers have collect
lions of these samples. and a good
deal of confidence is expressed in them
for the coming winter.
That there is concerted effort to
ape English effects. following the cor

GARDEN OF THE GODS
Great Scenic Feature of the
Pixies Peak Regio
Sentinel OF the Plains" Stands Guard
Over Section Where Titanic
Forces Have WondrousIy
Wrought.

Denver, Colo.-No scenic feature OF
the Pixies Peak region Of Colorado
has such a worldwide fame as the
Garden of the Gods. Passing through
its gigantic rock-portals, $50 feet In
height, one enters a region where
Titanic forces have been at play.
Here are cathedral spires, and bal
anced rocks weighing a thousand
tons; strange grotesque shapes, NAM
moth caricatures of animals crouch or
spring from vantage points hundreds
of feet in air or CLEAN oddly from the
pines.
The gateway to the Garden rises to
twice the height of Niagara's mighty
fall, framing in terra Gotta a superb
picture of azure and tawny peaks.
Eagles nest In the rocky crags. Pur-
ling brooks alive with mountain trout
Against the ~turquois sky a fight OF
birds scars almost out of sight, wee
bits of life amid the grandeur of
mountain tops inc lofty minarets.
Pixies Peak in a way stands SEN
tinel ever the Garden Of the Gods.
Pixies Peak is the historic beacon
summit which guided the early ex-
plorers across the great plains, and
1t rears its snowy crest in the midst OF
a veritable wonderland. Here Nature
is seen in her grandest as well as In
some of her most fantastic moods.
Great mountain peaks are here-mas-
sive, gigantic-lifting themselves into
the regions of perpetual snow. Here
are a half dozen ~stupendous canyons,
each miles In length, where the gran
lite mountains have been cleft asun-
der and rock walls rise ~perpendicu-
larly a thousand feet. Here medicinal
springs gush forth for healing and re-
freshment. Here, too, was the play
ground Of Titanic forces when the
world was young-rock forms of eyeM
size, shape and color; rising in airy
pinnacles like the spires of a Milan,

Dust and tuberculosis.

AS a result of the dangers from con-
sumption to those exposed to various
forms of dust, and at the request OF
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, the
United States government has recent
ly appointed a commission to work in
cooperation with state authorities in
making an investigation into the con-
ditions of the metal mining industries
in the United States. with special ref
erence to diseases of the lungs. The
work of the commission engaged in
this special task will follow lines
somewhat similar to those worked

rainy days, shopping and other little
