HAIR COMBS AGAIN

Back into the realm of hair orna-
ments have come the pins and combs
Of tortoise shell that typifed the hair
dressing of our grandmothers, and Is
traceable to the time of the Medicis.
If you have some treasured heir
looms that are large, carved or In
laid, bring them out into the light of
modern day and place them in the
coils and waves of your hair. You
then can smile at the world.
Fillets of tortoise shell rival the high
combs, and the disks that suggest the
Holland headdress, or perhaps the or
naments of the middle ages, have re-
turned.
The empire comb, with it's spreading
lines that resemble the peacock's tail,
is an important arrival. The hair Is
drawn up in a series of curls at the
back of the neck, the high comb mount
ing above them. Generally the hair is
parted in front or at the side.
The band, or fillet, is passed over
the brow. the hair waved and worn in
graceful lines low over the temples
and ears. Disks are worn if this style
of hairdressing is carried out.
Coils of hair are held III place by
ball tortoise shell pins. and the bars
OF shell 70 catch the stray curis and
TO support the hair have again come
| into their own.
Since the cOiffure of the moment Is
/ conservat'vely simple. there Is ample
room for adding decoration by way or
ornaments, and makers are Offering
| many attractive styles to convince wo-
men Of the change.

AMERICAN POULTRY BREEDS

Michael X. Boyer: No breed ever
received the popularity of the Ameri-
can Barred Plymouth Rocks or White
Wyandottes, and they fully represent
our ideas of what market poultry
fowl should BEN medium weight, plump
body, quick growth, yellow skin, vel
low legs and layers of good sized
brown eggs.
No foreign breed has ever been able
to cope with these two America II
stand-bys, unless the new Orpington
will prove itself worthy of that class.
France boasts of her Houdan, and
well she may, for ii is a noble breed
of medium weight, plump, quick
growth-but it has a white skin, dark
shaded or white legs, and lays a white
egg. There never was produced a bet
ter table fowl than the Black Lang
shan, and it lays beautifully colored
egg, but the skin of the fowl is white.
So we could name other breeds, for
instance, the Dorkings, Indian Games,
etc, but in all of them there is some
thing lacking that we Americans want.
Even in the American class there
are varieties which will never become
popular, and some have already prac-
ticaiIy passed out of existence. The
Sherw"ods in appearance were White
Plymouth Rocks. and the White Won
ders looked exactly like White Wyan-
dottes. The only difference in these
two breeds is that they have feathered
legs, while the varieties they pattern
after in appearance have clean legs
II was this leg feathering that Grip
pied them.
OF late years the Rhode Island Reds
have become popular They are excel
lent utility breeds, but they will never
crowd out the Plymouth Rocks nor the
Wyandottes.
The Columbian Wyandottes are new
arrivals and look very much like q
| simon pure cross between White wy
andottes and Light Brahma. They are
| said to he excellent layers.
| We call the Brahmas and Leghorn'
| American. but strictly speaking they
/ belong to England and Italy. resp,c
! lively. Yet. if one makes a compari
| son Of both these breeds as bred il
| this country with those of their nativ,
| country, they are altogether differer
! in type. The Brahma of England, fol
/ instance, is more of the Cochin style
/ and is not so prolific as the Brahms
! Of America.
II must be said to the credit of tn,
I American fancier that all the varietie,

! Importance than the production O.

Office boys. He instituted, and during
the past 10 years actively conducted,
the educational department in the

COOLIES LANDED IN MEXICO


SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2.-Private advices
received in this city today are that
4sO Chinese were landed in Manzan-
lilo, Mexico. by a steamer yesterday,
and that $50 more are on board a
vessel bound for that port and due to
arrive there in the course of a few
days. There is every reason to believe
that the destination of those reaching
Manzanillo yesterday, and of those 20
follow them there, is the United States.
The plan followed by Asiatics landing
at the southern Maxican port is to
proceed to Mazatlan and thence by
regular steamer line to Ensenada
From the latter place it is compare
lively easy to reach the border and
there test the vigilance Of the immi
grafton inspectors. The latter are
preparing for the new influx Of
coolies. 4

Mrs. Porter May Come

steps are being taken to secure
Mrs. Florence Collins Porter to con-
duet a series of meetings in all the
towns of the valley in the interest of
the Progressive cause. Mrs. Porter
was a delegate to both the national
conventions, and is conversant with
the history of the movement from the
start, and her presence here would do
a great good. A number of years ago
the editor of the Press was on the
staff of a Los Angeles newspaper with
Mrs. Porter, and has been surprised
to note SO womanly woman assume
SO prominent part in politics. She is
one whose presence will commend her
to everybody she meets, and the
women of Imperial valley will do well
to assist her 50 far as possible.
