Action for Several
Months.

Following the Cabinet meeting today
II was announced that President Taft
probably would not take any action re-
garding tho reappointment Of Judge De
Lacy to the Juvenile Court, or naming
q successor. for several months.
The President and the Attorney Gem
eral have been so busy with other
affairs since July / that the Juvenile
Court appointment has not been reached
by them. There are a number Of letters
at the White. House. some protesting,
and some advocating the reappointment.
Although his term expired July l
Judge De Lacy is still administering
justice to the juvenile delinquents of
ths District and It is said 1t is not
necessary that there shall be immediate
action In settling the appointment.

First Of all IL must be explained
why anyone should cry long life to
'cimex lectularius'' an entomolog-
ical specimen generally hated. shun-
ned and fought as a night rider. Why
water bugs should be warred against
is easily understood, but that con-
servation OF bed bugs is being under

ment Is astounding.

At Lewis, Va, near the Department
Of Agriculture's experimental farm at
Vienna this sign has appeared at the
railroad station several times recently:
'will pay cents for each bedbug up
to IS worth. g. M. thinner. superinten-

Mr.. zimmer's explanation easily clears
the mystery. On this experimental
farm are several acres of old orchard
where various kinds Of depraved. de-
predatins bugs preyed on the foliage
before the Government bought the

these bugs, but in vain. So Mr.. Lewis

Lick Stamps Clean.
The Postoffice Department, on the
other hand, is having lots OF trouble
with that aquatic hemipterous insect
which is commonly called water bug"
This insect has q passion for the muci-
lage on the back Of stamps, and COM
plants are frequent that the mucilage
has all been devoured.
How to stop the trouble is SO far
an unsolvable puzzle. Poison of any
kind may not be used. The strictest
orders are issued against 1t by Mr..
Hitchcock, on account Of the risk
which would be run by human beings.
Announcement of this trouble in the
Postoffice Department is likely to cause
run on the stores, where automatic
stamp moistening devices are sold The

itatively announced, will not be en-
ployed to do away with the water

BOXES OF BRONZE LEATHER
Receptacles for spooIs, Thimble and
Needles That All Little Girls
viii Appreciate.

Extremely attractive In that partic-
ular way that girls very much like
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
Of thread, thimble and needles. These
are meant for little mending kits to
put in ones bag when one is visiting
for a few days. The boxes are very
small, some Of them containing only
black silk and white thread, while 9th
ers have a row of four or five spools.
They have lids Of the leather, and the
edges OF the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or silk
braid. The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
by the ribbon binding which is sewed
together at the end.
Some Of the boxes are the same
width through the length, and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
spool are usually Se same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit a spool being put in side
ways. When only one spool is to be
nut IN the box It goes in lengthwise.

Concerning the home making ol

word In praise OF the French makers
They are most careful about match
ing trimmings to materials. they are
original and dainty in details, and
everything turned out for children
however rich the textures, has an
infantile quality. Patterns are small
and trimmings put on the bebe OF
small way. Every garment for chill
dren is exquisitely finished, too. in
side as out, especially coats and
frocks for high dress. Some beautiful
little costumes seen recently were
finished at the inside Of the bodice
fastening and at the hem turn Of the
skirts with a narrow, fiat putting ol
silk matching the gown color. The
same putting will be used to delight
full advantage all round the inside
edge Of a fine coat, and there Il
sometimes contrasts with the lining
A capacity for infinite pains is the
real secret Of French taste in dress
and nowhere is this dainty patience
more rewarding than in children's
garments.
