New York DreSsmaker Describes
PetticoatIeSS Mode and Harem
Skirt From Paris.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-"The prudes
That is, they are in Paris, which
means that American women of fash
ion will bring them home with them
this fall and winter" said Nine. Ber-
nard Fifth Avenue modiste, who has
just arrived from abroad with the
first harem skirt and the silhouette
gown.
The former resembles Turkish trou-
sers, which have succeeded the slit
skirt and the latter is a new French
creation of lace and pleated tulle
worn with tights of silk of white or
flesh pink, with no suggestion of a
petticoat unless it be of filmy mate
rial.
The slit skirt has been the most
graceful and attractive made for
women which has been worn in many
years, so all of the great fashion lead
ers of Paris declare" said Nine. Ber-
nard. The harem skirt is an adapta-
ton of the slit skirt with the tendency
to the full and natural figure about
the hips, which is the dernier cri.
Turkish trousers, properly adapted,
are an ideal costume for the modern
woman of fashion. The ones l saw in
Paris are the most fascinating and
bewitching frocks | have ever seen.
The silhouette gown, which is built
on Grecian lines, is extremely beauti-
full provided the figure is graceful. 1t
is like looking at a beautiful woman
through a fleeCy sunlit cloud.
The gown is so arranged at the
hem that by means of a slit up the
front-to the knees-and by pulling
the diaphanous pleated tulle end lace
criss- cross about the ankles sort Of
trouser effect is obtained which only
shows when the wearer moves about"

BARROW COUNTY
BILL PASSED
BY HOUSE
Measure Approved 1856 to IS De-
spite the Hardeman Opposition,
Crowded Galleries Cheer.

The bill creating the new county Of
Barrow, to be made up Of sections Of
Walton. Gwinnett and Jackson. with
Winder as the county seat, passed
the House to-day by a vote Of 1856 to
30.
The measure came from the Con-
stitutional Amendments Committee
with a unanimous recommendation
for It's passage. but it was not put
through the House until after a gen
ulne display had been INDUCED in.
The fight against Barrow was led
by Hardeman. Of Jefferson who at
tackled It by moving to postpone ac-
ton upon il until next session. Had
that motion prevailed, the bill would
have been killed, beyond hope of res
direction.
Barrow County has been looked
upon generally as apt to win out. It
has been before the Legislature be-
fore. and many members who voted
for IL to- day explained their votes
by saying that they voted upon the
merits of the proposition entirely,
which were evident enough to the
Constitutional Amendments Commit
tee to get a unanimous favorable re-
port therefrom,
The impression is that Barrow win
pass the Senate and go TO the people
for ratification in the next general
election
During the voting on the bill, the
galleries were hacked with citizens
from the territory affected, and when
the vote was announced the result
brought great applause.

CRIME. YOUTH AND MARRIAGE

AS we have often remarked-with-
out claiming excessive or even Pick
wickian originality for the discovery
statistical studies can be wonderful
ly illuminating-or fearfully confus-
ing, everything depending on the mind
that interprets the statistics.
In New York figures are presented
which show that unmarried men are
more often criminals than married
men, suicide being the only excep-
tion. In one year 2,06S unmarried men
were convicted of crime, against but
789 married men. For nine years the
figures are 1906 convictions of bach
elors, against 1870 convictions of
products of the disciple of wedlock.
Is the moral to be drawn the simple
one that marriage is reform school?
By no means. 1t may be argued that
the sorts of persons that marry are
not the sort that are easily led into
the ways of crime. True, to marry is
to settle down, to assume RESPONSE
bilities; but as marriage is largely
voluntary, entrance into it already
proves certain steadiness and de-
sire to carry responsibility, and these
are qualities not associated with Grim
inal traits.
However, we have hint at the true
generalization in the statement from
the same source that there is a grad
ual increase of crime among young
men, and that many offenders are pe-
tween the ages of 10 and 20. OF
course, boys are not likely to be mar
ried. The increase of crime among
the young means the increase of crime
among the unmarried; yet there is
no conclusion to be drawn from this
as to the relation between matrimony
and resistance to criminal temptation.
The increase of crime among the
young is chiefly due to idleness, lack
of vocational training, blind alley oc-
cupations, and the snares of the street
and the vice resort. Proper education
and steady employment reduce crime
and induce matrimony-a double ben
eft from every point of view. We
may add that the same reform would
affect the married and check suicides
among them. We need no statistics
to prove this, but the statistics would
be furnished, should anyone care to
call for them, by more than one fond
cultlvator of that fruit field.-Record-
Herald.

About one thousand Ford county

hundred pounds Of poisoned bran, to

the last three weeks, put in one day

of better name, the insect poison

experiments carried on by the agri-

Kansas. Early last week G. w. Art

the county commissioners of Ford

MEXICO is AGAIN IN
THROES OF REVOI

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-
The American government has posi-
tive information today that the Huerta
government in Mexico is doomed, and
its downfall is expected hourly.
The information is published this
afternoon by the highest authority.
Whether secured automatically or by
other channels is not known but it is
certain the state department has been
getting information from other
sources than consuls. 1t is believed
this explains the hurried summoning
to Washington of Ambassador who
has been favorable to Huerta since
MADEIRA has been deposed. 1t Is re-
ported that the president may ask the
ambassador to explain quotations at
tributed to him criticising the admin
istration because it failed to recogniz g
Huerta.
Governor Carranza of Coahuila
state and Governor Pasquira of So
nora are advancing steadily. Huerta S
former supporters are fast deserting.
President Wilson is investigating
confidentially the exact plans of the
rebels if they should succeed.

pulp and peel of the fruit and add
that to the water, and then wet the

portant that it be sown broadcast

small piles as these might contain
enough of the poison to kill farm ami

TURKEY RECAPTURES
ADRIANOPLE FROM ALLIES

LONDON, July 21.-Following the
report that the Turks have reoccupied
Adrianople, the porte has sent for
NAL note to the powers demanding
that Turkey participate in the next
peace negotiations on equal terms with
the Balkan states. The note protests
against the Bulgarian atrocities,
charging they needlessly burned vii
lagos on the Back sea and massacred
the inhabitants. The reoccupation re-
ports came from Rome, Sofia, Con-
stantinople and elsewhere but can not
be confirmed.
Dispatches also said the Bulgarian
garrison of 1000 weakly resisted En-
yer Bey's Turks.
Belgrade telegraphs the Bulgarian
delegates had opened preliminary
peace negotiations this afternoon at
Nish, Servia. 1t is now believed peace
in sight.
Athens officially advises that the
Greek forces have occupied Petzovo,
routing the entire Bulgarian front.
Heavy losses resulted on both sides.

egraphs today, denying that Adriano-
pie has been recaptured by the Turks.
1t is admitted that it is menaced but

ernor Ammons to the people of Du-
range and the San Juan basin and
parents can arrange accordingly.
mo institution, much less an edu-
cational one" said the governor, lis
going to close if / can prevent it and
l think l can."
Governor Ammons and DR.. Lory ac-
companied by Superintendent Snyder,
arrived from Fort Lewis Saturday aft
ernoon as outlined in The Herald. At
o'clock the officials met with mem
bers of the board of trade and the
committee having Fort Lewis school
matters in charge, in the parlors of
the Strater hotel. The meeting was
called to order by Secretary Raymond
who called on DR.. Lory for state
ment of conditions. DIR. Lory went
over the entire situation and the prob
lem confronting the board and state
officials, concluding with plan he
had evolved for providing sufficient
funds to keep the institution running
which plan had been endorsed by Gov
ornor Ammons. As the plans have not
been presented to the full board and
to the state auditor and treasurer
they will not be given publicity
through the press until approved of
ficially, but it is feasible in every
way and shows the value of the prop
erty and why the school should be
kept running.
Governor Ammons followed DR..
Lory along the same lines, covering
many new points-reviewing the fl
nancial conditions generally, also ex-
plating on the wonderful possibilities
of the school and some of the plans
for extending its work which will win
the approval of our people and in
crease the value of the institution.
Governor Ammons spoke in happy
strain, but as his remarks were per-
| sonal to the committee they are not
given at this time, but later will be
| made known. He declared the institu-
ton must and would be kept going this
winter when conditions will change,
the governor predicting that after this
| fiscal year the financial conditions will
materially improve, the increase in
revenue under the new assessment
laws and the second year of the BIZ
ennial period escaping the assembly
and other expenses that have to be
paid out of the first years receipts.
Among those present in addition to
the school officials, were Senator
West, Representative Weaver, Charles
Pearson, Mrs. Pulford, Miss Salabar,
DR.. A. L. Davis, l.. c. Jakway, T. C.
Graden, Charles E. Herr, Leslie Hub
bard, G. w. Lane and Geo. N. Ray
mond. Most of the party took dinner
at the hotel and during the evening
quite a number of citizens called on
the governor and DR.. Lory. Many were
disappointed because the governor did
not address a public meeting in the
evening, but owing to the rain and
Saturday night it was thought ad-
visable not to have one as the gov
ernor promises to visit Durango some
time in October when an opportunity
will be given the people to meet and
hear him.
Sunday morning the governor visit
ed the fish hatchery and expressed
himself as highly pleased over the fry
production, this being the prize fish
institution of the state. The governor
and DR.. Lory departed on the S:55
train for Denver, where they arrived
this morning after an absence of over
a week.
