There are shirt waist boxes galore,
innumerable dress chests and many
improvised receptacles for us in the

is the result of an ingenious brain,
which conceived the possibilities of

cloth, the edge glued on the outside.
This was covered with linoleum, q

development is likely to bring salts
factory results. The Oldest and pres
ent best oil district in the state II
located in and near the city Of Flor

of the district for 1911 shows total
production of 100000 barrels of crude
oil. This is 5000 barrels greater than
the record for 1910. and is an addition
al demonstration Of the reliability OF
this district as a steady producer.

Coal Output Normal.

The figures given out this year by
the state coal mine inspector. giving
in detail the production of coal in
Colorado during 1911, indicate on their
surface decrease of a little more
than 100000 tons by comparison
with the output year ago.
AS a matter of fact thee oal pro1uc.
ton of Colorado during 1911 was
greater than the normal production
during the year Immediately preced-
ing. There is a normal increase in
spite of the fact that there is an ac-
tual decrease. And the reason is
this:
During the year beginning 1910
there was a decidedly abnormal un-
natural demand for coal from Colo
RADIO. It was caused by the closing of
mines in other states-mines that
should have been supplying large
amounts of coal. There were strikes
among coal miners in Illinois, Kansas.
Arkansas and Oklahoma. Coal mines
in those four states were producing
far less than their normal output.
The result was great demand for
Colorado coal. The mines in ,his
state were worked night and day to
supply the unusual demand. The
normal output OF Colorado mines was
increased more than 100000 tons.
During the year beginning January
l. 1911, the coal mines of Colorado
produced, according to the state in
spector's figures. 10.075.S61 tons. Dur
ing the year beginning January 1. 1910,
the output was 12,104,Ss7 tons. And
the difference between the two figures
is less than the estimated number of
tons shipped from Colorado during
the year 1910 as a direct result Of the
strikes in the four states named.

IN THE JAPANESE STYLE
Excellent Suggestion for Linen Show.

nary-For Place Cards.

A charming idea for linen shower
is to carry it out in Japanese fashion
with the colors of the cherry blossom
as the decorative scheme.
If the luncheon is designed, darken
the room and hang numbers of Chi
nese lanterns about. These may be
suspended from red and green cords
festooned around the walls, and can
dies for the table may be in green,
with the rosy color for the shades.
Carnations, or better still the cherry
blossoms themselves, SO beautifully
made now in paper, can be the flower,
and placing some of the branches in
crystal bowls and vases, Just a few in
each. gives a pretty effect. Tall
screens covered with the blossoms
may be placed about wherever most
effective, forming alcoves and cozy
corners.
Have the parcels of linen wrapped
in rose paper and tied with green rib
bons. A girl friend wearing a kimono
in the two colors may bring in the
packages, handing them to the bride
to-be, or placing them on large tray
ready for the purpose, where the
laughing recipient may open and dis
play the contents to those present
