Whoever has cellar. a stable. gar

the usefulness of cbeeSecloth. Frames
covered first with chicken wire, then the
cloth tackled tight over them let in light
and air, yet keep out dust and insects.
A three-foot running frame at the top Of
a glass-fronted fowl house saves expense
and helps wonderfully in ventilation when
the top is covered with cheesecloth. sta
bic windows and those of COW barns
should be filled with cloth-covered frames
as soon as the weather becomes hot: thus
flies, disa greeable doors and most of the
dust are barred. Cellar windows ought 10
have cheesecloth frames inside Their bars.
In the garden frames of cheesecloth and
netting are better than sashes for shell
tering plants In hotbeds or cold frames,
as they give air and save from sunburn.

it was taken up by those who walked to

The same thing is proving true OF this

Odds and Ends of Fashions

white silk The dress Is trimmed only
with very small bali fringe trimm ng
mounted white silk soutache brad.
This hall trimming edges the sleeves and
overskirt and outlines the yoke in the
waist and sleeves.
June is the month for daisies and
daisies are to some extent taking the
place of roses on hats and summer
frocks. One lovely white lace dress,
made over yellow, shows a bunch OF
huge white daisies with yellow plush
centers at the belt. Some of the big black
or white hats are trimmed with a wreath
of these homely flowers. The fad for
wearing them is not widespread. so the
, woman who likes yellow and enjoys
doing The unusual can adopt the daisy
habit with safety
Some of the summer frocks are trim
med with what 1T Il little distance APP
pear TO be huge crochet buttons. On
closer inspection they prove to be made
of silk. Here is the secret OF their MAX
ing: Take Il circle of silk and shir a lit
tie circle i'll the center of it. Make an
other line OF shirring a little distance
from this circle and continue stirring
the silk in circles until you have piece
of shirred silk big enough to cover your
button mold. The shr strings should be
carried to the wrong side of the silk-the
side next the button mold-and fastened
securely there.
Red and yellow, fashion predicts, will
be the most popular summer colors.
Mahogany and nasturtium red especially
are increasingly popular. The two colors
are frequently combined Yellow silk
frocks show buttons and girdles and
facings OF cherry red and deep red frocks
show vivid touches of yellow here and
there.
One Of the whims OF fashion is the
placing of black bows at the back Of the
neck instead of at the front. The bows
are fiat and tailored in effect and the
fringed ends reach to the waist. This
method of placing bows seems to be In
line with the tendency to gather the
skirt in the front and leave 1t plain in
the back.

1t is an interesting development in the
question of clothes, and 1t means a good
deal to the consumer. This is especially
true in regard to summer clothes, where
heat and moisture do their work and
nothing is expected to last over three
months. Women have found out that It
was easier and less expensive to indulge
in several fresh cheap gowns than to
constantly wear one expensive gown.
The up and down of accordion p1eating
has been amusing, although not novel
when one looks back over the history of
many fashions. In the light Of the past
it will not be surprising If accordion
pleated skirts would be worn next au-
tumn by fashionable women. This is not
a prophecy: it is merely guess based on
the fact that the pannier and the long,
small sleeves and the tight skirts had the
same kind OF experience. They were in
troduced, refused, revived.
One sees accordion pleating now used

in Our Laws.
IBy Associated Press.l

Austin, Texas, Jan. 30.-In a mes
sage to the Legislature on penal insti-

gests that many changes be made in
the present law. He calls attention to
the requirement that all prisoners
must now first be sent to Huntsville,
where the Prison Commissioners have
their residence, before being sent to
a farm or to Rusk, entailing additional
expense.
He declares the law creating per-
manent auditor had been farce and
the office had been absolutely worth
less" He favors appointment by the
Governor of business manager and
purchasing agent, and recommends
Legislative disposition of the State pen
Iitentiary railroads. They should be
under the Railroad Commission or dis
posed of.
Representative Hunts bill to estab
lish a branch of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College in West Texas was

ELEGANT ELECTRICAL FIXTURES.

Yesterday afternoon an Eagle re-
porter, attracted by the beautiful dis
play of electrical goods in Emmett
Coles show window, dropped in to
closer inspect the handsome pieces
offered.
Mr.. Cole has in stock wealth and
variety of handsome designs that
never fail to bring forth favorable
comment and astonishment from trav-
cling men, who do not expect such a
splendid showing in town of Bryan's
size.
Many of the electroliers are works
of art, hand wrought in silver, bronze
and stained glass, and are worth view
ing as the handiwork of modern art
craftsmen. Mr.. Cole is now fixed up in
his new quarters next to the Johnson &
Rohde garage building on South Main
Street, and the interior Of his show
rooms is so arranged as to favorably
display his goods.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 3O.-Hon. r. R.
Williams, representing the Thirty
fourth District in the Thirty-third Leg
islature, will introduce bill in the
House in favor OF four-year terms OF
office for State and county officials.
Democratic Bob,' as he is familiar
ly known, has grown gray in the serv-
ice of his party, and half a century's
experience in public life has con-
vinced him that a higher degree of
efficiency can be maintained in public
service and less business disturbance
to the country by four-year term of
office. The expenses Of an election,
including those of all candidates. are
estimated at s11,OOO.O0O, and S6.75O
candidates spend from three to six
months campaigning, and four-year
term would save this expense bien-
nially.
