class of vaudeville that is possible right

theatrical people, and that blend per
fectly. making an entertainment that is
worth time and money.
Gertrude Vanderbilt, with the help of
George Moore, has scored the biggest
hit any headline feature has ever reg
stered at the busy theater. The pretty
singing and dancing comedienne has
eciipsed all the success that has been
registered by condolences at the For
syth, and is about the most popular lit.
tie entertainer now known to Atlanta
theatergoers.
Sydney Drew and Company, present
ing Jack Futrelle's playlet, THE Model
Young Man." also score well and win
curtain calls, and the Three Tyres
clever musicians and comedians, win
hearty favor.
Willie Weston, the entertainer direct
from the New York Winter Garden
and other splendid acts make the bill
all that the advance notices and critics
claim for it.

FOR PURE MILK WON
BY CHICAGO CITIZENS

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Having won a
fight for a pure milk ordinance, Chi
cago citizens today began preparations
for a fight to enforce 1t. The law was
passed at a meeting of the city council

which the citizens held number of
mass meetings and a regularly organ
ICED citizens committee led the crusade
Now the citizens committee is to be
permanently organized to see that the

MAKES ARTISTIC SASH
EFFECTIVE DRAPERY OF WIDE
MESsALINE. SATIN OR SILK.
Mil Co Far In Dressing Up Simply
Made House or Evening Frock-
CoIors That Make Most
Fetching Combination.

Absolutely new in sashes and an ac-
eessory Of the sort that will do won
ders toward the dressing up Of sim
ply made house or evening frock is
the one to be fashioned from a yard
and a half strip Of the very widest
imessaline, satin or silk procurable,
as the material should be doubled over
and the two long edges invisibly
5oinsd before the portion to be draped
about the waist is attached to a foun-
dation girdle. This girdle of stifly
gtarched linen or canvas or Of heavy
taffeta should be shaped very high at
the back, taper toward the sides, wild
en- slightly toward the front and then
covered with the sash material which,
starting from the front and at the left
side, goes about the waist and slides
through an ornamental and very large
square buckle at the other end, whence
1T falls straight down the left side in
a single broad, heavy end, which is
embroidered in self-color, with white,
gold or silved, appliqued with tinsel
nedallions or beaded in Oriental eff
KDct and finally fringed with deep,
Knotted silk. or tinsel fringe. The
buckle, also handmade, should as
nearly as possible match the trim
ming scheme of the sash end and is
easily made by covering a cardboard
or leather foundation with the desired
shade Of satin, with a tinsel cloth or
with headembroidered fabric. The
idea is to produce a rich effect and
the model affords a good opportunity
for the exercise of personal ingenuity.
For instance, IL shot taffeta in rose
and gold is employed for the sash, the
large buckle should be of cloth of gold
embroidered with rhinestone beads,
the straight end embroidered with
gold unsel and rhinestone bead
strands. On a white lingerie house
frock an embroidered black velvet
sash ~ particularly stunning, but on
ACCOUNT Of the bulk OF even tie chif-
f0n veivets, the portion encircling the
waist should not be doubled and the
depending end would best be silk-lined.
Chiffon or Brussels net, II heavily Dor
dered and embroidered in pearl, crys-
tai or silver beads, makes a lovely
.girdle for young girls dancing frock
and in that event the portion going
around the waist should be mounted
upon satin decorated to match the
saah end, while the buckle should
match the color scheme of the fringe

NEW WAY TO CLEAN COFFEE
Gated Apparatus for Separating

A rather complicated but ingenious
apparatus for cleaning coffee, which
results in its separation into three
sizes of beans, has been patented by
Colorado man. A receiving drum
passes down through suction pipe
and discharges over cone-shaped sep
arator. AS the coffee falls, an upward
draft is created by suction, which car
ries the fine particles through the pipe
and down into chamber on the other
side, where all that is hopeless waste
is expelled through a series of slots
and such fine particles as can be used

NEW OIL GUN QUITE UNIQUE
Disk That Screws Through Center
Forces Out the Liquid-Eiow Is
Easy and Uniform.

A new kind of oil gun that is oper-
ated by a screw instead of by squeez-
ing the reservoir has been designed by
a Wisconsin man. Running through
the center of the reservoir, which is
in the handle of the gun, Is thread on
which a screw disk is mounted. A lit
tie wheel at the back end of the han
die operates this disk so that when the
wheel is turned the disk is forced
along the thread to the front of the
implement, thus forcing out any oil
or grease ahead of it through the noz-

A method of furnishing fresh air to
the person who Is working down in the
well is shown in the accompanying
sketch. An air collecting sheet, a
piece of ordinary sheeting about 2
yards wide and yards long, is fast
ened to the posts, says a writer in the
Popular Mechanics. A pipe, 6 or z
inches in diameter, is made Of the
same cloth with an enlarged funnel
shaped end which is sewed to the bot
tom end of the air-collecting sheet.
Hoops are placed in the cloth pipe at
suitable distances to keep the pipe
open for the free passage of air. The
edges Of the air sheet should be re-
inforced so it will stand the pressure
of the wind The end of the cloth pipe
should hang near the digger's head.

kind of an oil gun is that it not only
utilizes every drop of oil by getting
it all out of the cylinder but the flow
is so easy and uniform that all the slu-

needed. In using the old style oil can
