strels will appear for the first time
before the Blackfoot public, in thu
High School auditorium. They come
highly recommended however, and
promise to give us an excellent enter.
tainment. A price of SO cents has
been fixed for this unusual entertain
ment. Don't forget that i'm the past
the High School amusement associa-
tion has furnished the best and choic-
est of entertainments and always in
tend to in the future.
The Juniors are making elaborate
plans for their Junior ball to be given
on April the ninth, in the Progress
hall. Invitations are being sent out
to about one hundred of our most
prominent citizens, who consider it
an honor to be allowed to attend such
an honorary affair.
From the plans already prepared
this promises to be the best and most
up-to-date ball offered by any school
or university in the state Money
seems to be no object in preparing
for one full round of pleasure. Re-
member the date, and watch for invi-
tations.
About the first Sunday in May our
glee club under the direction of Miss
Richeson, will render sacred song
recital. Music from our greatest COM
posers only is being chosen, and every
effort is being used to make it one
OF the best musical recitals of the
year.
Work is progressing nicely on our
operetta 1.-THE Merry Milkmaids' to
be given sometime during the early
part of May Soloists and choruses
are working diligently to make this
one of the rare treats of lifetime.
We have some excellent musical tai
ent, and are doing our utmost to
make the best use of it.
The Seniors have selected their
subjects for orations and outlined
them preparatory to delivering them
before the public some time during
the latter part of April or first of
May. Only live, up-to-date questions ,
have been selected, subjects which
Will prove of interest to the public ,
as well as the student, especially
when nearing election time, as some .
OF these subjects are upon the fore :
most political questions of the day. !
Please bear these orations in mind 9
and make preparations to attend. II

HOBBLE SKIRTS

sTecial Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. Nov. 2.-The hobble skirt
shows no sign Of giving place to a wider,
fuller fashion. as the cloth manufac-
turers all over the midlands are hoping.
Hundreds of thousands fewer yards Of
material are required, for five yards
suffice for skirt where six were for
merly necessary.
The chairman of the Leigh Mills Com
pany, Of Coventry, at their meeting yes
terday, cheered the shareholders by stat
ing that West London traders had pre-
dicted that the hobble skirt would soon
he discontinued. Investigation. however,
does not uphold this view.
The hobble skirt is as popular as
ever" said the manageress Of the cos
tune department at Selfridge's to a
newspaper representative. Although
some of the Paris models are a little
fuller around the knees the demand for
the skirt which is tight around the
ankles is as great as ever.
For parties and evening wear, of
course, there is a becoming fashion in
fuller flowing skirts, but for costumes
the straight-line skirt is still most fash
ionable.
In our autumn models the hobble skirt
is the favorite. and one of our leading
manufacturer who Is now with me dis
cussing the fashions, tells me that 1t 10
likely to be popular for the whole sea-
son.

SOFT NAPLES ARE DOOMED

/ Dsclaring that the cutting down Of the
/ beautiful maple shade trees On -Four
teenth and Sixteenth Streets Northwest
is . step backward instead Of forward
movement in the beautincation Of the
city. Mrs.. Martha 8. dielow, vice presi-
: dent Of the Southern Industrial Educa-
tional Association. IL an interview yes.
terday bitterly assailed the Commission
, ers for ordering their destruction.
"washington," said Mrs. Gielow, ''is
! because Of its magnificent trees and gior-
ious parks. I think 1t shame to
desecrate and mar this beauty by cut
ting down the lovely naples. They are
rot only . priceless adornment. but also
the precious comfort to the thousands
who arc compelled to remain in the city
during the hot summer months.
Can nothing be done to stop this
wholesale havoc before it is too late? II
/ were q man I would take the tools
away from the heartless men who with
out feeling are cutting them down. Just
think of It: one Of the Workmen told mo
the reason the trees were being cut down
was because the leaves made 1t impos-
sible to keep the streets clean. Isn't 1t
leaves fall. II that 10 the only reason IT
will not be long before there il not q
single tree in Washington.
Another workman told me that the
trees were being cut down because the
NAPLES were rotten. / made an examina-
ton Of the twelve trees that had been
cut. and yet only one was in the least
unsound.
Mrs. Gielow asserted that she had in
terested a number Of prominent women
OF the city in the matter. and that they
intended to exert every effort to prevent
the further destruction Of the maple
treea
There must be some way to stop the
destruction Of the beauty Of our Capital.
No building however stately. no marble
hall however grand. can be compared to
a beautiful tree. and without the setting
of her NAPLES, Washington will indeed
look bare and deserve any other name
than the City Beautiful I. for one. am
not going to stand idly by and see these
trees destroyed"
Soft Naples to Go.
All the soft NAPLES of the city are to
go. Trueman Lanham. superintendent of
trees and parkings for the District, said |
last night that they will b destroyed
and replaced with more suitable shade |
trees as fast as money for this improve i
ment becomes available. About 800 soft I
NAPLES will be cut down this year. They |
will be replaced. mostly. with gingko |
trees.
Mr.. Lanham said that the soft naples |
on Fourteenth Street Northwest, which |
will be replaced this fall, were among |
the Oldest street shade trees Of the city. |
He said that they had got in such bad |
condition that It was necessary to re-
place them.
The soft naples on Fourteenth Street
will be replaced with gineko trees from
the Mall to Thomas Circle. Besides the !
E1ngko trees. oriental plane trees and pin |
oaks will be used

Six dollars week is the average.
There are 6,O0O, 900 women work

This $6-or 1ess-iS not a fair

And people are coming to realize
that a girl cannot clothe and feed

So, for this reason, as well as
for the "say-so," women must or

lin his lines, and must be paid for
at a corresponding rate. And the

Data on Latest Developments
in the Two Big Leagues
of the Country.

Mordecai Brown, the former star
twirler of the Cubs, will play with
Cincinnati next year if Manager Joe
Tinker, who signed his Redland con-
tract yesterday, agrees to the terms
asked for by the Louisville club which
now owns Brown.
Corridor, the shortstop for whom
Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati
club, paid $4,000 so that he could close
the Tinker deal, felded only 904 for
the Kansas Ciey team in the American
Association last year.
American League pitchers today
were reported to be pleased by the an
nouncement made by President Ban
Johnson that hereafter American Lea
que twirlers would be rated according
to the runs scored off them instead
of by the victory and defeat system,
which has long been regarded as an
unjust method and especially to star
pitchers on weak teams.
Two former Cleveland American
League pitchers headed the list of
twrlers in the American Association
last season. Falkenberg, the human
hairpin," leading with % victories and
eight defeats and krause following
with 10 victories and four defeats.
1t was reported today that Charles
P. Taft, who owns a controlling inter
