White House Advised.

The White House was kept advised
until nearly dawn of the condition of
the colonel When the nature of his
wound was learned those who had known
him during his occupancy of the White
House drew sigh of relief. His superb
physical condition. his intimates felt,
never would succumb TO such an injury.
The attempted assassination recalled to
mind the many narrow escapes Col
Roosevelt has had during the past few
years. Probably the most serious acct
deEt in which he figured was in 1902
when his carriage was struck by a troll
ley car near Pittsfeld. Mass. and a Sc
cret service man was killed. On that
occasion Mr.. r. welt was thrown heav-
lily to the gr( but escaped with a
severe ssakins and numerous con-
tusions.
Three years later. in October 1915 the
colonel was journeying down the Missis-
sirpi river on the lighthouse tender Mag
nolia. when the vessel WAS run down by
the steamer Esporta and several great
holes cut in her hull. The Magnolia was
beached on a mud bank before it could
sink and MIR. Roosevelt and his party
taken off The accident occurred near
New Orleans and the presidential party
continued its trip on the tender Ivy.

Keep away from the small, chuffy,
pretty type.
Don't feed too much corn. This
doesn't mean to starve the sows, but
It does mean to give them some bone
and muscle making feed along with
their corn.
One of the best and cheapest sup
elemental feeds for corn is clover OF
alfalfa hay chopped fine and soaked
|Sows eat such feed with great relish.
The essential points in a narrowing

TRUE TEST Of DEMOCRACY

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. I'm the
building of the Panama canal and the
carving out of vast irrigation projects
the efficiency of a democratic form Of
government as a constructive force in
the world is on trial, according to SEN
ator Francis G. Newlands, who as pres

tion congress.
THE capacity of dem ocracy for con-
structive work is to be tested" he said
Our ability to maintain a collective
effort, embracing both public and pri-
Vate uses with a fair apportionment
Of costs between such uses is to be
tested. On the one hand we wish to
avoid the weakness of a stern indi-
Vidualism which daily increases the
strength of the strong and diminishes
the efficiency of the weak, and at the
same time we wish to avoid the dan
gers of Socialism, which seeks to make
collective society the source of all eff
fort and of all reward.

he opposed any attempt to impose

AUTUMN FASHIONS

The new style tendencies in wo-
mems dress this fall are about as nu-
merous as usual. The autumn fashion
number of Harper's Bazaar for Octo-
Der has the following:
1t will be noticed by those who give
some thought to the detail of dress
that the skirts are now almost invar-
iably draped or trimmed. There has
been heated argument over the pan
nier skirts, as to whether they would
be accepted by women who cannot
afford to discard their gowns with the
slightest fuctuation of fashion.
By the test of the summer season wo
have come to realize that some sort
of simple drapery, whether of satin or
lace, is not extreme for the gown that
must do for all occasions. BY this we
do not mean the skirt slashed up the
side or drawn, in awkward lines, too
tight for the wearers comfort. A lit
tie drapery softens the harsh lines
of plain, straight skirt and may be
suited to the lines of stout woman as
well as to those of her more slender
sister
The V-shaped neck, which has been
unquestionably the most popular for
some time, is still considered quite
correct, though there appears to be a
noticeable tendency toward the deep
square neck, especially for the more
formal evening gowns.
Just where the waist line is to be
placed one can hardly predict with
certainty. 1t varies from the normal
to the empire girdle, almost three
inches higher. 1t is not wise to fol-
low too closely what the autocrats of
dress have to say on this subject it
is better to choose what is becoming
The length of the train for an even
ing gown depends very much on the
amount Of formality the gown suggests
The pointed and square trains are still
as smart as ever, and in fact, will
hold their own far longer than the
fish tail or any other extreme mode OF
fashion, which can have but a short
life.
