The Department of Docks and Ferries,
of which X. A. G. Smith is the Commits
sioner yesterday issued statement TO
the public. i'm which il was asserted that
New York was not so far behind in the
matter of port Improvement as was be-
lieved by many citizens. The statement
follows:
"The Dock Department has been active
" at work preparing plans for drydock
large enough to accommodate, the largest
ship contemplated. 1t is to be on prop
erty owned by the city in South Brook
improperly acquired seven years ago
and which has not produced any revenue
to the city, because it has lain idle.
THE Commissioner of Docks has
thought 1t best to bring the project to the
attention Of the commercial interests of
New York and the public in the form of a
sketch showing at glance what is con-
templated Detail plans are under way
from studies already made and this inn

about $4,000 II will be a sef-sustain-

"The location is ideal from the stand

railway will give transportation service

Dock Commissioner concerning the I'M

NET WAIST ALWAYS BECOMING
Faohion Had Good Reason for Its
Popularity, Which Is Almost Ger
tina to Continue.

There is no doubt that the trans
parent waist of cotton net was the
leader in the race for popularity. The
model In it which sold by the hun
dreds and is still in fashion has a
long shoulder seam, slightly gathered,
and loose sleeve that hangs above
the waist with two box pleatings of
lace. The long V shaped neck is out
lined, and there is lining, also OF
net, which is trimmed across it's top
edges with a smaller lace pleating.
On the majority of these waists
there is ribbon attached to the lin
ing. 1t is done more or less well.
Sometimes there are three bands
around the figure ending in stiff bows
in front; again the top of the lining
is gathered into a two-inch ribbon
band which is finished with large
fiat bow in front
The whole blouse is loose and ap-
pears to fall from the figure, and the
corset cover that goes with it is of
chiffon in flesh color trimmed with
tiny button roses. Now if the blouse
is still selling wherever you are, buy
it. 1t is unusually becoming. If you
don't like the ribbon, take it out, or
adjust it to suit your DISTINGUISHING

STRANGE RACE OF cAhNIBALS

About two years ago Algot Lange,
an explorer from Copenhagen, made a
trip of 1000 miles up the Amazon riy-
er, where he came upon tribe of Alb
orgines, who were cannibals and had
never before seen a white man. The
entire tribe OF over 200 men, women
and children, lived in a huge dome
shaped matched hut, which was about
40 feet high and 125 feet in diameter.
The people were of the most print
tive type The women wore no cloth
ing and the men little more-their ar
ticle of apparel being headgear of
bird pIumes.. The chief alone wore a
girdle made of squirrel tails. Their
weapons consisted Of bows and ar
rows. war clubs of ironwood and the
deadly poisonblow pipes.
With these strange people Mr.. Lange
lived six weeks and was treated with
the utmost kindness and nGrSed back
to health. During this time he made
many interesting observations Of their
mode of living, ideas and customs.
The community lived on a co-opera-
tive basis, each man shooting game for
the use of all the families. The chief
had supreme authority.

CANNON MADE OF PAPER

To the amazingly long list of articles
made of paper there may be added pa

featured at the Krupp works in Ger
many. These paper field pieces are
for special use of the infantry. Their
caliber is little less than two inches,
and the pieces are so light that sol
der can easily carry one. But the re-
sistance is greater than that of field
piece Of steel of the same caliber. 1t
is not to be understood that these pa
per guns are in any way to replace
those made of steel. The paper arms
are intended merely for uses in situa-
lions where the movement of field ar

styles a higher and slightly curled
fringe appears across the forehead.
In all the new styles the hair is
not much waved, and in all of them
the ears are covered. In tho ma

tiny curls nestle somewhere, either at
neck or peeping out from the knot, or
displaying themselves resting on the
hair just above the ear. They are just
about the prettiest little finishing
touches that car be imagined Women
call them cunning and perhaps they
are; for these little curls appear to
