SURELY A SEASON OF COLOR
About Every Variety Of Shade ls to
BE Employed to Adorn FemI-
nine Costumes.

Experts whose business it is to an
ticipate feminine fashions declare
that the coming season will find gar
ments of daring and varied hues.
From milady's shoes to her sun
shade she will present picture of
color that will embrace all shades
known to man, and few more of her
own invention.
The simple blue costume, which has
satisfied woman's capricious taste
more than any other dress, will have
to go with the black shoes and black
stockings
This is what the experts say, but q
buyer at fashionable shop said that
the change would not be quite SO
violent.
There is no doubt" she said, that
this year there will be much more col
or in women's dress. The desire for
a change from the more sober colors
has been felt for some time, and has
expressed itself in various ways.
s'The first step towards the color
scheme was made by the hosiers who
introduced stockings in all the shades
of the rainbow. So popular did these
become that bootmakers were obliged
to follow, and for the past two or
three summers there have been al
most as many shades in shoes as In
stockings"
rs the blue tailor-made costume
doomed?"
No, do not think so. Blue suits
women too w-sll for them to give it
up altogether. We shall probably not
see so many plain blue costumes this
year, but ] question IL the provincial
girl will follow the new fashion
blindly.
Women. you know, are not quite
the slaves to fashion that men sup
pose. Nor do they dress to please
men. as many Of you fondly imagine.
A woman's mirror Is another womGn's
eyes. If she excites admiration there
she knows she has succeeded.
blue suits most women, and that
ia why they continue to wear it."

HARD TIMES AND ADVERTISING
Policy of . Successful Merchant te
Get Big Share Of Business When
II Is Poorest.

A prominent advertiser who spends
fortune every year in publicity has
established a significant rule. accord
ing to Leslies Weekly. Whenever he
notices slowing up of business, he
increases his advertising. This is
his reason: When business is boom
ing it is unnecessary to fight for 1t
1T comes Of itself; but when busi-
ness is slow / insist on having my
share of it, and the easiest way to
get it is by calling attention to the
value of my goods. / do not wait
for hard times. scent them in
the distance and before anybody else
gets busy I make my contracts for
advertising on big scale and get my
orders in before my competitors
know what / am doing" The logic
and common sense Of the attitude
of this gentleman account in a
large part for the remarkable success
he has achieved
Whoever the gentleman is, he has
gotten wise and is advertising in
the right manner, and merchants in
every town would do well to emulate
him.

OLD ERRORS THAT PERSIST
Have Been Handed Down for Genera
tions, and Are Hard to Eradicate
from Youthful Minds.

One is surprised to find that in the
mental storehouses of many pupils lie
hidden quaint and curious ideas, dis
torted historical truths, popular fall
Rcies, and false beliefs which modern
historical criticism has long since BAN
ished to the realms Of the historical
novelist. the newspaper writer, and
the maker of almanacs.
To suggest few of these old
friends: The Church Of England was
founded by Henry VIII. because the
pope would not allow him to marry
Anne Boleyn, meets one constantly.
Another interesting item is that the
puritans were so much purer and bet
ter than the members of the Church
of England that they were prosecuted
for religion.
Only the children of the rich plant
ers were ever educated in Virginia or
in the other southern colonies, and
these children were sent to England
or had tutors at home, for there were
no schools of any kind in the south,
is a statement sincerely believed, his
torians to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
The king of England caused the
revolution because he taxed the Amer
leans SO heavily. The king, in the
students mind, laid the tax and acted
in most outrageous fashion in gen
eral. Such a body as the English
parliament or the English theory OF
representation appear to have made
no mental impression upon him.
A royal colony was always tyran-
nically governed, and was much
worse than charter or proprietary
government, the word royal" evident
ly striking the democratic mind as
fundamentally wrong.
Poetic justice is also ever present
as to the ultimate end of certain nota-
BILE personages. Benedict Arnold and
Aaron Burr always spend their last
days in deepest poverty and remorse,
while Columbus still persists In dying
in prison and in chains. Jefferson is
a peculiarly fortunate character, for
the average pupil insists that he orig
mated democracy and solemnly states
that we owe our government by the
people to the Sage Of Monticello. He
also wrote the constitution. This
rather irritating falsehood is strangely
common.-History Teachers Maga-

about 1850 100000 tons, of which the
United Kingdom produced more than
one-fourth and the United States more
than two-f1fths. AS compared with
population the production In the
United Kingdom was six tons per
head, and in the United States a lit
tie less than five tons.
The output in the five principal
coal-producing countries during 1911
was as follows: United Kingdom,

the head with 443, 3,O25,000.

$2.S75; Belgium, $2.92; United States,

collection OF other statistics. cost the
thirteenth census over $3.50 per in
habitant, Director Durand. In his an
nual report suggests that mail car

He calls attention to the fact that
much Of the work was unsatisfac-

ducing competent men to take up the
work for the brief time In which they
are engaged as numerators.
This branch, the field work, cost

PRESIDENT PoINCARE A REMARKABLE MAN

M. Poincare, Frances new presi-
dent, is a remarkable man. He has
held cabinet office on four occasions.
Besides this his efforts in behalf of
international world peace have been
recognized by all the powers. It Is
admitted that he is statesman, be-
cause he abandoned lucrative law
practice to accept the position OF a
cabinet minister at salary of $4,000
year. He Is an eloquent speaker.
Is recognized as man Of sterling
character. has a keen sense of humor.
and all these qualities combine to
make him the one man who could
head the present cabinet of former
prime ministers.
Every Partisan knows the story
of the 25 centimes nickel piece, which
is equivalent to the American cent
coin. 1t was extremely unpopular
and no government had been able to
support 1t. When Poincare went into
Office the story about this piece was

regarding the enforcement of the
Sherman antitrust law and methods
of disintegration that have prevailed
in the past.

fight against the Tobacco Trust from

AS the first step toward unifca-

There is q new turban which is but
developed in black, lustrous braids,
and it has been christened the Me-
phisto. This sinister name seems to
apply. inasmuch as his Satanic mai

be said Of the new turban.
1t is a narrow, close-fttfng hat with
an oval crown and coronet sloping
up to sharp points at the front. 1t is
made of fine, lustFous and pliable
black braid. At the front two stand

all of black no one will pronounce this

somber. On the contrary, it is full of

sale OF women's lingerie dresses at
$11.75, and pronounce them absolute
ly the best value at the price in town,
we will sell them just as fast as
though we put a specific value OH
them In dollars and cents
How much are they worth? ask
ed the advertising man.
They cost us wholesale, about
nine dollars; ordinarily they would re.
tail at $15 or $16.'
: Then why not say so?' asked the
advertising man.
Because the people have lost
faith in the values recently put out

less boosting of original values on
the part of the smaller fry. And

say that these are extraordinary val

ord for truthful and square dealing,
that it will serve US better
You cant sell them even at nine

saving in SO many dollars and cents,

The outcome of the sale was as
the advertising man predicted. The
sale was failure, although the day
was an exceptionally fine one, an April
day, clear and crisp, ideal for rhopping
purposes.
'The test was repeated with sim

THE FAULTS OF THE
AVERAGE ROAD HOG
SorY;t, of the Things to Be Avoided by
the Driver Who Would Not trouble
Other Car Owners.


A strong protest against three in
tolerant manifestations of the road
hog" spirit is voiced by a well known
local authority on road law ana prac-
flee The practice which he condemns
as manifestations of the road hog"
spirit are as follows;
Passing another vehicle at Il street
intersection.
The holding of the center of the road
by a slow going vehicle when its
place is at the side
The failure of traffic coming in
stream at unpOliced corners TO yield
any crossing to traffic in the opposite
since automobiles have become
numerous" he says. amy number OF
raw novices are at the steering wheels
Experienced drivers usually slow up
at street intersections, because they
know the danger and respect the rights
The novice gets busiest at street
Intersections He cannot ten Wheth il
the driver in front of him is planning
to turn the corner. but he peltS right
along just the same. You may say the
man in front should indicate his pur-
pose by a traffic signal what chance
has a driver to give visible signal
when he has his top up or is in
closed car?
Need Hand on Wheel
~ drivers hands belong on his
steering wheel when he makes a turn
He can't keep one hand stretched out
side the car and make the turn safely
You can always tell the novices by
the fact that he tries to pass the car
ahead at a street intersection
Another road hog is the person who
drives his machine at a slow rate up
the center of the street Electrics and
women drivers are the worst offenders
in this. The man behind who wants
to move at a faster speed cannot pass
them at the right because that is
against the law. He cannot pass them
at the left because the traffic bound
in the opposite direction does not allow
him sufficient space. and so an entire
stream of automobiles will have to
slow down to five or six miles an hour
