Trial In New York Shows ordl-

Has Had No Effect on the Criminal
Element, While Law-AbIdlns cItl-
Eens Are Left Wthou. Means
of Protecting Themselves.

New York.-One year has passed
since the Sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying Of concealed
weapons, became law, and, as was
predicted year ago. the law proved
an utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con
cealed arms in spite of the law, which
fell heavily only upon a number Of
law-abiding citizens who were the pos
SCISSORS of arms for protection and
neglected to get rid Of them before
the law became effective.
In other words, the law merely had
the effect of depriving the law-abiding
citizens Of their means of protection.
while the criminals, against whom
they tried to protect themselves, were
left in possession Of their weapons.
According to the annual report of
the coroner, Just issued, there were
LOG homicides by shooting during the
last twelve months In Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910, when the high
water mark in the number Of homi-
cides by shooting was reached. In
eighteen of these cases the circum-
stances did not call for an arrest.
while In lightweight cases arrests
were clearly in order. AS a matter
Of fact, however, arrests were made
only in thlrty-seven of the cases, leav-
ing ffty-one cases in which no ar
rests we're made.
Under the Sullivan law It is illegal
for any dealer to sell pistol or other
dangerous weapon prescribed by the
law to any person not in possession of
a license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite Of this fact
It Is estimated that during the last
twelve months more than 5000 revolv-
ers we're sold by dealers and pawn
brokers In this city in violation of the
law.
John Schrank, the man who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after his
arrest that he had bought the revolver

sleep quietly and at othertimes would
continue to moan. Usually she would
pass the rest Of the night in untrou-

would walk again. In the morning her

DESIGN FOR SILK STOCKINGS

lettering or number.
These can be found in any Oriental
shop or on a Chinese laundry check.
They are not difficult to sketch, being
for the most part broad lines crossing
each other in curious manner.
These should be slightly padded
with very soft darning cotton, so that
the center will be raised above the
outer edge. The embroidery is then
done in fine floss silk, using brilliant
red, green, yellow, purple and blue. All
colors rich in tone are effective, and
occasionally threads Of silver and gold
can be introduced in the embroidery.
Care must be taken when applying
the work to coIored stockings that the
colors used in the embroidery harmo.

Any color or combination Of colors

green, iris on blue or yellow, and the
flaming poppy on black.
When working, an easy way to keep
the stocking taut so the embroidery
will lie smooth is to slip china egg
or very smooth darning egg into the
stocking, then hold the silk tightly
over that as you would for ordinary
darning. The embroidery will theI
be perfectly smooth when worn.
