Expectations Exceeded, Says Dubois.

Former Senator Fred Dubois. Speaker
Clark's campaign manager. yesterday Is
sued this statement:
1.-The Clark landslide in Illinois, far ex-
ceeding our fondest expectations. is an
indication Of the great strength Of Speak
er Clark with the people. Clark received
more votes in Cook county than Taft and
Roosevelt combined. The significance Of
this. as well as the magnificent race in
every state, is apparent, and certainly
vouchsafes the Speakers success in No
vember. If he should lead the democratic
ticket as he undoubtedly will. It indi-
Gates that he could carry Illinois. We
are profoundly grateful to the democrats
of Illinois for their splendid response to
our appeals for support. The result means
that a tidal wave Of Clark sentiment is
sweeping the country and nothing, in my
Judgment, can stop it."

Credited to Hearst.

The Woodrow Wilson headquarters last
night issued a statement Of which the
following is part:
''The result in Illinois is attributable to
the influence Of William Randolph Hearst
and his newspapers and political allies.
1t was aided. too. by the abandonment
Of the field by Gov. Harmon. who. in ac-
cordance with the territorial agreements
of anti-Wilson allies, left Illinois, where
his friends had been campaigning for
months, and turned the whole Harmon
strength over to Clark.
I'm the progressive state Of Wisconsin.
where there is no Hearst machine. the
Clark-Harmon combine was defeated by
more than two votes to one. There is no
doubt that Hearst is the greatest asset OF
the Clark boom. and there Is also no
doubt that Speaker Clark recognizes this
fact. as is proved by his message to the
Hearst newspapers this morning."

MADE OF PRINTED CRETONNE
Roller Covers for the centerpiece Come
in Individual Wrappers-Tape
Bound All Around.

Combination individual rolls and
covers for centerpieces are much bet
ter than having one stick for a number
OF such articles, as when six or eight
table mats are rolled together they
are certain to get more or less mussed
since the entire collection must be
handled whenever one of them is re-
leased.
Inch thick pine rods now come in
various lengths especially for the foun-
dation for centerpiece rolls, and while
any of these may be padded with cot
ton batting and then covering with
white crash, Irish linen or heavy lawn,
it is much better to provide a cover
which is permanently attached to the
roll and is wrapped about it in COM
paIy with the centerpiece.
These roller covers often are made
Of white crash, pointed and tape bound
at the tapping or outer end and fasten-
ing by means Of tape loop and a GRO
cheted button, but far more practical
are the individual roll covers that are
made OF printed cretonne, tape bound
all around and fastened with two sets
Of tape strings.

RICH EFFECT IN BAGS
SUEDE LEATHER THE FOUNDA-
TON FOR FINE COLORlNGS.
Oriental Designs the Most Popular
All Sorts of Decorative AppIica-
tions Permissible on These
Most Useful Accessories.

One of the richest effects is a bag
in tan suede leather with an oriental
scroll design into which is set a pic
ture of a butterfly alight on a rose
blossom. The coloring is a remark
able combination of old blues, greens,
rose and violet shades, with touch
of white in outlining, and these show
through the, scroll work, revealing the
picture" just as one gazes at land
scape through feathery tree branches
in early spring time, or through lush
grasses when walking in the meadow
after a shower. This bag is lined with
a changeable silk in blush green, and
the silken cords to match the suede in
colorings have the same quaint loops
used on all these bags, from which to
suspend ornaments. In this case it is
a mascot of green jade capped with
brass and splotches of blue and green
inlay-a true oriental pendant
Another such bag was seen in knot
design inset in scroll. lined with
changeable silk, and with tiny Chin
ese lantern "Jangles." In fact, each
bag is not only a picture in itself
but one without a duplicate. All are
finished with the miniature ivory ele
plants, carved fans, balls, lanterns OF
coins. The latter are especially de
sirable, as the Chinese sen, with the
hole in the middle and surface Gov
cred with oriental hieroglyphs, ad
mits of all sorts of decorative appli
cations.
The beauty of this work depends
entirely upon the individuality of the
designer, and upon the pains taken
in stenciling, insetting the embroider
les, attaching the pendants and orna
ments-even in sewing in the Innings
The accessories show from the stu
dio of this particular designer are sc
thoroughly workmanIike, so perfect in
even the minutest details, that it is
joy to examine them She argues
from the William Morris standpoint
that what is worth doing is not only
worth doing we'll, but joyfully," hence
the artist must throw herself into her
work in whole-souled fashion. Any
woman who has ingenuity can exc
cute for herself not only picture bags
and accessories, but many beautiful
centerpieces, desk pad corners
screens, etc., utilizing odd bits of EN-.
broideries picked up in foreign trav-
els or on shopping jaunts at home and
abroad, which will serve as pleasant
reminders of some delightful day
agone.

Remedy for Quick Temper.

Nothing is so disastrous as losing
ones temper. When you feel SO tow
ering, raging mad that you want to
fight some one, take yourself by your
collar or forelock and conduct your
self to place of quiet seclusion.
There endeavor to discover within
your head some few grains of sound
sense upon which to dwell long and
thoughtfully. What's the good of los
ing ones temper? Lots of times you
hand people undeserved rebukes, and
then it is tremendous nuisance try
ing to forget how unkind you have
been.
Be patient. Be patient with the
faults Of others and be patient with
your own. Take care Of your health,
your morals, and your spiritual self.
Be above the sharp retort Of the
thoughtless.

SCHEME WORTHY OF CHICAGO
Plans for Beautiful Park That VIII
Make It One of the Show Cities
of the Country.

A long stride toward the realization
Of the Chicago Beautiful" plan was
made Just before the close of the past
year when, through the cooperation OF
the city, the South Park commission,
the Chicago Plan commission, and the
Illinois Central railroad, the people of
Chicago regained control Of the lake
front The vexing problem Of the loca-
ton of the Field Museum Of Natural
History was also solved, and the beau
tiful structure will be erected in CEN
trail location instead of in Jackson
Park, which is in the southern por-
lion of the city.
In the deal between the city, the
South Park commission, and the Illi-
nois Central railroad, the city acquires
the riparian rights from Twelfth street
to Fifty-first street, affording opportu-
nifty for the creation of island parks
for miles along the shore. The plan
calls for the extension out into the
lake of the present shore line by fill
ing, and the making of a narrow island
or strip of land about seven or eight
miles long, paralleling the shore line
from Grant Park to Jackson park,
about 400 feet out in the lake.
Between the extended shore line
and this outer strip of parks will be a
lagoon, approximately 400 feet wide,
providing calm, comparatively safe
waterway for canoeing, INCORPORATING
and rowing. Channels, giving access
from the lagoon to the lake, will be
provided at intervals, viaducts will
connect the island parks and the shore,
two great pleasure piers, extending
calf a mile out into the lake, will be
constructed, and boulevard connect
ing Grant and Jackson parks, will be
built along the lake side of the outer
strip of land. Bathing beaches will be
constructed at various points, and the
Island parks will be real Fairgrounds
tor all of Chicago, where baseball, ten
mis- and all manner of outdoor sports
may be INDUCED in. All this will be a
part of a chain of parks and boule-
Yards which will extend 20 miles along
the shores of Lake Michigan.
The Field Museum of Natural His
tory, over which SO much controversy
has been waged, due to the successful
fight made against its location in
Grant Park, will be located on made
land Immediately east or lakeward of
the present Illinois Central railroad
depot, which depot is to be torn down
and new one built facing north,
fronting on Twelfth street and abut-
ting on Michigan avenue. In this po-
sition the museum will overlook Grant
Park, looking north.
The made land required in this
scheme can be provided, at practically
no cost, at the rate of 100 acres a
year, by utilizing Chicago's waste ma
terial.

EFFECT Of GRASS ON TREES
Experiments Made in England Seem
to Have Shown That II ls
Injurious.

At the Woburn experimental fruit
farm long inquiry has ben conduct
ed into the effect Of grass on trees,
and the experiments which have been
carried out form the substance of the
thirteenth report Of the farm, which
has just been issued.
1t has been shown that the general
result Of grassing the ground, either
by sowing seed or replacing the turf
after the trees have been planted, is
the arrestation Of. all healthy growth
and the absolute stunning of the
tree.
A light and unhealthy character i'm
parted to the leaves is one of the first
noticeable results of the action Of
grass upon trees. With trees that are
feeling the full effect Of grass the
fruits are found to be small and i'll
developed.
The variations in soil temperature
are less when the ground is grassed,
and this alone would be favorable to
the growth Of trees; but this good In
fuence is outweighed by the dele
terious effects.-London Daily Mail.
