The total production of lead since the
beginning of mining has been 1000 ,704
tons. In 1911, the gain in lead produc..
ton was made wholly by domestic lead,
the output of foreign lead smelted or
refined in this country having decreased
lI.4l0 tons.
The geological surveys report on lead
for 1911, compiled by C. u. Sieben-
thai, is issued as an advance chapter

proved to be correct within one-nnth Of

Did you ever know Of q horse being

FL Paso's pioneer city marshals could
have got for a horse-if he had traded
the horse for the piece Of FL Paso

had held the property until now. He
didn't trade; instead. he sold the horse
for $50.
J. B. GilIett, OF Maria, reminiscing
as a result Of the Pioneer edition OF
The Herald, is led to relate this incl
dent Of what he might have done; also
he takes issue with judge L h Davis
on what was the toughest place in FL

note about the first electric light plant
in the city. Capt GilletU says:

By JEAN FINOT.

to Directory costumes and reaction
back to a doubtful 18th century. One
day silk is oanished from WOman's
dress and the next IL is used eXces-
sively. One moment woman is wrapped
up like a bale Of old rags and imme
diately afterwards she is expected to
exhibit her charms beyond all decency.
The chosen creatures whose intelh-
gence and common sense are a delight
to US, as well as the empty-hesded
dolls, submit with the same docility
to a mysterious and unknown master
who commands them TO squeeze in or
let out their Waistline.
WOmen4Martyrs to Fashion.
The martyrdom which women i'm
pose upon themselves, sacrificing
themselves at the altar of fashion,
makes man smile cOntemptuously. He
sees IN this a proof Of evident inferi-
ority. He cannot admit that q sensi-
BILE being can thus permit himself to
obey such humiliating, painful and
degrading commands
History is able to give US any num-
Der Of tragic incidents in the lives OF
the period Of the Directory. The most
beautiful of its bellies died young
hasty consumption cutting short their
royal reign as irresistible charmers It
was the fashion to dress like Greek
nymphs. In spite Of the raw climate
of Paris, women insisted on appearing
dressed in as little as possible. The
cold and damp weather caused them to
contract fncurable maladies and, un-
moved, the women looked at the raw
ages caused by the crISl fashion with
out a thought of rebellion against it
But this all happened in the past. In
the future, after the victories Of the

is harmonious, It adds 10 the charms
OF woman and the pleasure Of man,
from beautifying has the very Oppo-
site effect Woman is always beaui-
full in spite Of and not because Of her
dress. All the laws Of esthetics agree
that the natural, combined with me
true, constitutes the essential cOndl-
ton of beauty, but fashion, as a rule,
does nothing but violate truth. II de-
strOys it to favor false convention
atty which laughs at esthetics and
hygiene.
Too Large or Too Small.
The synthese Of the dress Of last
turtles, is resumed in the regretable
eXaggerations Of the salient parts Of
woman. 1t has made them too large
or too small. It has given US hoop
skirts and hObble and trOuser skirts,
ham-sIeeyes, too large or too small
hats, Louis " heels, gigantic colffures
with a pile of false hair on top, or
small flat cOiffures which seemed al
most ashamed Of themselves.
As caricature is nothing but an eX-
aggeration OF truth, so the original
costumes have all been caricatures.
Woman must indeed be beautiful in
herself when she has been able to re-
sist the assaults of fashion through
centuries For not only has fashion
tried to make her ugly, but il has
also endeavOred to ruin her health. Be
ginning with the hats which tire her
head and press on her brain, passing
by pins cOrsets and robes, hiding
places for dust and microbes, to the
shape OF her fOOtgear, everything has
cOnspired against her respiration and
digestion. Woman. who never ceases
to exert her charm over US in spite OF
the efforts Of centuries of fashions 10
undermine her moral, intellectual and
physical value, thus proves mat her
beauty is eternal and only asks to be
liberated from tyrannical laws and
their cruel punishments, she viii lib
crate herself so much easier as the
the essential condition OF
fashion. IS only an imagination, a trick
Like a horse in the ring OF a circus

there was no insurance on any of
them. The real cause Of their death
is a mystery.
