MIMIC WAR ON LARGEST
SCALE EVER SEEN HERE.

Washington Senate has
agreed to the joint resolution APP
propriating $t,35OOOO for the en-
campments and maneuvers of the
organized militia of the States. The
appropriation was originally in the
army bill which was vetoed. The
resolution now goes to the Presi-
dent General Wool Immediately
ordered the commanding officers Of
the regular army whose troops are
to join with the militia. to start their
troops Immediately for the various
encampments and rendezvous so that
by tomorrow morning the most ex-
tensive series Of joint exercises ever
undertaken in this country will be
in full swing. For the first time
maneuvers will be conducted on a
scale approaching the magnificent
annual European demonstration.

How to Plant a Tree.

Most trees are given a too restricted
hole. Dig the holes at least six feet in
diameter and get some experienced per-
son who is used TO handling it, if such
be available, to discharge two or three
sticks Of dynamite i'll the bottoms near
the sides in order to loosen up the sur
rounding earth to make running ground
for the tree roots later on.
The holes should be at least a foot
deeper than the depth at which the
trees are TO be planted, and this space
IS to be filed in with broken stone coy
cred with soil, on which the trees will
rest This will insure that good drain
age which is necessary for all trees not
of the swamp kind. In the more south
ern portions of the country, where the
ground dries out during periods Of
drought TO a depth of several feet
drain tiles should be laid in the bot
toms Of the holes, and one tile with the
''bell' level with the top Of the ground
set perpendicular, 70 be used IN wafer
ing the trees when needed This is an
especially good idea for street trees,
but the tile top should be protected by
Gu iron curb box.

How TO Wash SILK Blouse.

When washing silk blOuses never
rub soap on them or rub the silk be
tween the hands. Use soapsuds and
put a little methylated spirit into the
last rinsing water, as this gives a gloss
to the silk. For tussore silk use bran
water in place Of soap.
4 \ pound of bran should be well
boiled in two quarts of water, strained
and used for both washing and rinsing
water one part of water to three
parts Of the bran mixture will be
found about the right proportion.

GETTING RID OF THE FLY.

The house fly should be killed now
before it can multiply, and one of
the first things to do is to see that
there are no breeding places, for if
fly cannot find a place it will soon
leave your house. What il likes is
refuse of some kind, and if there is
refuse near your house which can
not be removed, sprinkle it every
day with chloride of lime. In ad-
dition to this, pour the following
formula into soup plate and in the
middle put a small piece of bread:
, Teaspoons of formalin.
! Teaspoon of sugar.
y pint of milk.
y pint of water
The flies will soon be attracted to
this mixture and destroyed. Above
all things, make sure that all the
food in the house is securely cover
ed and put everything under its own
cover.
Now that the subject of hy-rid-
dance has been taken up so earnest
ly by all the health authorities, the
least that you can possibly do to
help Is to rid your own home of
flies, for a fly from your house may
carry death or serious illness to the
child across the street.

PEPLUMS ADVANCE
IN POPULAlt FAVOR.
Times of Louis XVI Revived.

By this time most women have
settled rather definitely in their
own minds what fashions they will
take for their own this summer
The hurries and unrest of the spring
is over, and now that they know
what they like best of all the diff
fering models offered for considera-
ton and have selected the necessary
gowns for their summer wardrobes,
they are filled with that peace and
serenity which ensues upon work
well done. And is it not a comfort
to feel, also, that ones judgment
has been proved reliable? That with
the tendency to return to the pan
nier we have not been misled into
a mistaken fulness of skirts? For
we still adhere to pronounced slen-
derness of silhouette, and even the
panniers, to get a hearing at all,
have had to renOunCe a too ambi-
tiOus bagginess.
Nevertheless the panniers are not
rejected, and with the limitation
imposed upon them are seen in many
dainty dresses, especially those for
evening wear. In the fall and win
ter models, it is asserted, the pan
nier style Of dress, will prevail over
other designs, and material now
deemed incongruous, will receive
their setting in that fashion. But
that is story yet to be told. Just
now the peplum seems to be the OBJ
ject of woman's affection. Despite
many predictions to the contrary, the
peplum is floating high on the wave
of popularity, and is seen in every
material. Few taffeta dresses will
be seen without it this summer, it
is said, and in one form or another
it appears on most of the ready
made lace and lingerie blouses and
gowns for sale in the shops.
On the taffeta dresses the peplum
is often outlined with a shirred puff
of the silk similar puff, somewhat
wider, bordering the foot of the
skirt. These puffs or shirrings are
a revival of a fashion very popular
a generation or more ago when the
fancy for them was carried TO such
lengths that skirts were often gath
cred from top to toe in repeated
rows of shirring until those who
had no reverence for fashions god
dess declare they looked like null
tiplied hoops about a barrel. That
there may be tendency to return to
these shirred and puffed skirts is
indicated in recent French models,
whore the fulness of skirt or petit
coat uner the hip pannier. is drawn
tightly about the form of the Wearer
in many rows Of gathers.

CONSERVATION
OF BIRD LIFE
The Quickest and SuTGSt Way
Of Saving the Trees.
IT IS A NATIONAL ISSUE.
Scientists Declare That Unless Drastic
Measures Are Taken to Protect the
Winged Insect Eaters the Country
Will Soon Be Devoid Of Vegetation.

If desirable an organized movement
to destroy all trees might be inaugu-
rated. why not?
BY having a gang of woodchoppers in
every community. complete destruction
could be wrought in a few years, says
l.. &. Nair in the American City.
Equip those gangs with shotguus. how
ever, instead of axes. and the same end
could be attained quicker and with far
less effort. If all the birds were killed
not only would the trees perish. but
also would all vegetable life that is on

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
OF THE NEW BLOUSES.

White satin shirts are quite the
fad in Paris, and these dressy
shirts are worn not only with
skirt suits, but with separate skirts
of white serge, whipCord and mo-
hair. The shirt" is perfectly plain,
but oh, the concentrated smartness
of its severely simple lines! 1t has
| a roomy cut, achieved without gath
ers or plaits anywhere and the arm
| holes are huge dropping well over
the shoulder. Set into these low
armholes without fullness, long,
clOse-titting sleeves reach to the
wrist In contrast to the long, tight
sleeves is a neck arrangement as in
formal and unconventional as a
cow-puncher's loosened shirt-collar
There is, in fact, a narrow, straight
collar of the satin attached to the
neck by a narrow collar band. but
as the shirt is left unbuttoned al
most all the way down the front,
this collar falls back loosely over the
shoulders. In the opening is
slightly fulled "undershirt" of flesh
COlored chiffon, which covers the
bare throat and chest. Glass but
tons are set down the front of the
shirt and buttOnhOles are worked on
the edge of one side, a few buttons
being really buttoned, below the
bust. There is also a row of but
tons and buttonhOles on the outer
edge of each sleeve A coquettish
shirt worn at Longchamps recently
with a skirt of white whipcord, a
white hat trimmed with gulrs wings
and buttoned white boots of buck
skin, attracted a deal Of attention

but it is usually trimmed with pip
ings of black and a tracing of gold
embroidery along the lines of piping
which outline the edge of the
peplum and open underarm seams,
the outer side of the sleeve, the
sleeve edge and the neck. A black
satin belt with gold ornament con-
fines the loose smock at the waist
line.

HOW TO USE A NEW CARRIAGE
Let It Stand a Few Days Before Using
So the Finish Can Harden.


The time when a fine carriage or
wagon needs the most careful atten-
ton is Immediately after the first time
it is driven out. 1t should then be
thoroughly washed. If the new vehicle
happens to be a carriage more than
the usual pains must be taken, be
cause if mud is allowed to dry upon
the panels permanent stains will be
the result 1t is advisable not to use
a new carriage or wagon at once, but
days. This will give the newly ap-
piled varnish an opportunity to set
and harden.
The fine art of carriage washing is
best exercised with the aid of water
applied with sponges and chamois
feathers There is nothing better than
water and plenty of it. All movable
fittings being removed and the uphol-
stering covered, the skillful carriage
washer starts work on the roof. This
washed and wiped dry with chamos
he proceeds to do the daSher and
aprons, these being dried in turn.
Next come the seat borders. floor
cloths and bootings of the steps. The
wheels are washed last. The secret Of
carriage washing is plenty of water
and careful wiping If the vehicle has
not been used for several days it
should have an airing, busting and
washing just the same.
