The demonstration maze against
Johnson by the friends of Mr.. Clay
was indicative of mob violence, and
the early arrival Of the police pre-

been an everlasting blot on the good

citizens.

STOCKINGS FOR LITTLE ONES
New Design Will Prove Boon for Wor-
ried Mothers Of Healthy,
Rompino Youngsters.

When the summer comes and the
active boys and girls, filled with the
zest Of life, are rolling hoops, jump
ing rope and playing ball, garters do
get broken and mothers are in despair
not only because Of this, but because
Of the big holes that the catches some
times tear in little stockings.
Now, however, novel kind OF
hosiery has been put on the market
for the youngster, obviating all dim
culties of this kind.
These are nothing more or less
than stockings which reach all the
way to the little waists, having a
straight piece back and front, which
is of elastic material, with button
holes which button right onto the it,
tie underwaists.
Such hosiery is not only practical,
but prevents all possibility of the
garter showing beneath small skirts
or boomers, and also serves to keep
the underwaist In place.
The stockings come in brown and
black and white.

Bravest Animal Alive, Declares

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The coyote

Recently while discussing coyote.

Il would rather catch wolf alive
than coyote. The wolf is larger, but
the coyote is quicker.

BLUE BEsT CHEN HUE
Artistic Effects In the Culinary ps.
partment Are by No Means to
- 30 Dispised. II

It may sound foolish to talk Of Z
"color scheme" for the kitchen. but
II pots and pans and utensils Of all
kinds match and the walls are in the
same shade with linoleum of the same
on the floor, you will be astonished
to find how clean and dainty it all
looks and bow much easier it is to
COMFORT dainties for the home menu
in the pleasant room.
Blue is always good color for tho
kitchen especially, as it is easy to
secure the blue enameled cooking
utensils, which are not only easy to
keep clean. but eliminate to great
extent all likelihood of burning.
Blue and white china or the quaint
solid brown and white ware are pref
ty in blue and white kitchen, while
blue and white dish towels may be
bought JUS: as easily as red and white
ones and will look far daintier is the
kitchen.
Usefulness, however, mus: come be-
fore an artistic effect and care must
be exercised in the selection of the
pots and. pans. If you have small
family don't buy big stewpans and
enormous skillets.
If you have a big family get big
utensils and don't buy a lot of mod
ern inventions that you never use,
and which clutter UP drawers and
closets unnecessarily.
Have hooks screwed into the wall
near the table and the range to hang
| spoons, pans and covers on, that they
may be within sreach and save many
| steps.

IS ATLANTIC COAST SINKlNG7
Inquiry to Be Made This Year az to
Theory That There 10 Drop Of
Two Feet Century.

Trenton, N. J.-Whether the coast
of New Jersey is sinking about two
feet a century is to be ascertained
this summer. At a meeting Of the
board of managers of the state geo.
logical survey, State Geologist Kun.
mel reported that he had made ar.
engagements with Prof. D. W. Johnson
of Harvard university to make the
necessary research.
Some scientists have held that the
Atlantic seacoast was sinking at the
rate of two feet every hundred years.
and the theory has come to be general.
ly accepted. Professor Johnson will
come to this state and prosecute the
study under a research fund estab.
lished at Harvard. The result is ex.
pected to have an important bearing
on the coast levels established in this
state Is years ago.

Also, Little Pests Are Not Partial to
Hop vines-ldea Comes
From France.

Topeka, Kan.-Dr. S. j. Crumbine,
secretary of the state board Of health,
has learned of two methods by which
the common house fly can be kept
away from kitchens and barns. One
is to paint the barn and kitchen blue,
almost any old shade, and the other
is to grow hops around the doors.
The blue paint idea came from
France where two scientists, Marie
and Fee, in the course of some expert
ments with flies, found that COW
stables which were painted blue in
side were avoided by files. 1t was
also observed that kitchens and din
ing-rooms which were papered in blue
or painted blue also seemed to keep
the flies away as homes within a few
feet where the blue paint or paper
was not used were infested with the
pests.

FROM CENTER OF FASHION
Little Ideas in Costume Details That
Have Come Across the Ocean
From Paris.

Handbags are shown to match cos
tunes, being formed of the same fabric
and color. Fabric bags, in other
words. are to have the upper hand this
spring, sometimes combined with
leather, the leather forming skele-
ton through which the fabric shows.
The new bags are large and have
long cord handles. Many are trimmed
with fringes and tassels. Crochet cord
ornamentations, embroidery, braiding
and cordings are seen on metal cloths,
antique brocades and printed and
plain linens.
. Colored rat-tail cord Is combined
with shades of linen to match, for
wear with lingerie dresses.
Plain leather belts are fashionable,
especially in black and white. Black
patent leather is also combined with
bright red, blue. pulple and yellow.
The new belts have deep points run
