CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Theodore
Roosevelt today delivered hts long
awaited speech TO the Bull Moose
convention.
Mr. Roosevelt speech strikes
keynote for his followers and sup
porters In the new party. 1t lays
down the plan of battle to be waSed
by the national progressive party. lie
discusses those principles under twelve
b-divisions, namely. the Helpioss-
ness of the Old Parties, the Right
OF the People to Rule. the Courts and
the People, Constructive Control of
the Trusts; Rights of the Wage
Worker; the Farmer. the Tariff, the
servation, Alaska and International
Affairs The two old parties, he
said, ARE husks. with no real soul
within either. divided on artificial
lines. boss-ridden ano privilege-con-
trolled. each a tumble of incon-
gruous elements, and neither daring
to speak out wisely and fearlessly
what should be said on the vital issues
OF the day" AS opposed to this
incongruity and insincerity OF action
he asserted that the national pro-
gressive platform will be "a contract
with the people" with definite and
concrete provisions to be carried out
II the people ratify the contract on
election day as exactly and honestly
las if ii were actually enforceable
under the law.
No Help from Old Psrties
Neither the Republican nor the
Democratic platforms or managers

mighty fact that We are now in

The Democratic party. as ii indicated

delegates at the Chicago convention,
lacks the ethical standards. The nseH

FEW DIFFERENCES IN STYLE
Fashions Changes So Small That
Large Outlay on Wardrobe Is Not
Called For

There are so few Differences in styles
this season that the chances of econo-
MIXING seem better than they have
ever been. We do not really require
to renew our wardrobe unless last
years is shabby, or, for what is per-
haps as good a reason in a womans
eyes, because we happen TO want to.
The silhouette shows no changes
that are worth taking into considera-
ton; we .,re still long and narrow; we
have not changed the model of our cor
sets or our skirts, and what difference
there is lies merely i nthe fact that
we are not quite so tube-like as we
were, though the change is barely per-
ceptible.
To be quite accurate, the difference
measures about a quarter of yard
which, distributed all around the hem
of our garments, is no such great thing

was of black silk veiled with chiffon
and had a deep band Of gold embroi-

rather low at the neck and had sleeves
which came slightly below the el-
bow.
Another frock was of moleskin chif-
fon velvet, made in virtually the same
style. 1t had a band of colored en-
broidery instead of the gold.
A third, of iron-gray velvet, was
trimmed with folds of soft silk and
embroidered with silver.
Sets of furs were on display suiting
the costumes to perfection Regal
sets of sable and ermine, worth q

models.
Scarfs are extremely wide and
shawl-like, and muffs larger than
ever.

More than one-third Of the area OF
the United States has been surveyed
and mapped by topographers of the
United States geological survey in
connection with the preparation Of
detailed topographic atlas of the coun-

The maps represent areas called
ouadrangles. and show by a system of
contour lines all topographic features,
giving elevations as determined by
the suf<ey's spirit level work The
ouadrangles are areas limited by par

To Renovate Velvet.

A velvet dress may be renovated by
hanging it up in bathroom filled
with steam from the hot water faucet.
Stop up the doors and windows so
that the steam will not escape. and
spread out the garment over a dress
hanger suspended from the ceiling so
that the steam can reach 1t on all
sides, and the velvet will not be
pressed against anything. Let it dry
in the same position. 1t should not
be touched in any way until it is alb
solutely dry. The steam should be
turned off and the windows opened
when 1t is ready for drying.
