"Leaving Out The Item."

A Bethlehem, Pa, woman recent
Iy asked that no mention OF her
death be made in the papers, and the
result was that her death was men
toned in PLATA American news
papers, and they are still passing the
item along the line.
The incident points out the truth
that so many people fail to realize,
that the best way to avoid being con-
spicuous is to leave the newspapers
free to treat you just as they treat
everybody else.
The person who wants the death
of a relatives of prominence dismiss
ed with a four line announcement,
is inviting comment just because
such course is entirely unusual.
The man or woman who wants this
or that item left out of the paper
is simply starting the neighbors to
wondering why it don't appear, and
to discuss it across the table at the
cafe or in the sewing circle.

duly conspicuous to have your name

Wages of Teachers.

A word regarding the minimum
wage law for rural school teachers.
which becomes effective on the Attn
of July, and how it operates to fix
the salaries of such teachers, will no
doubt prove Of interest to all pa
irons of our public schools. .r. /
The minimum wage of the school
teachers of Iowa is based on grades
of the teacher on her county or state
certificate. Certificates are by this
new law divided into three grades,
first, second and third. The grade
for first grade certificate must be
teacher who holds first grade GER
between IS and 100 points. Any
titicate must be paid not less than
three times the grade he or she
mad. For example, if a teachers
certificate is first grade and shows an
average of 80, the minimum wage is
$2.7O per day. AT the average OF 70
days month the salary OF this
teacher cannot now be less than $o4
per month. The second grade GER
tificates include all where the aver
age grade is rs to IS per cent.
very large number of country school
teachers come under this class.
School boards must pay not less per
grade. For example, a teacher with
grade Of 80 must receive at least
1920 per day or $44 per month.
Third grade certificates include all
average grades between 65 and Is
per cent. No teacher may be paid
less than 214 times this average
grade per day. Fer example, grade
of 20 entities the holder OF the GER
tificate to receive not less than $1.75
per day or $35 per month.
Nothing in the new law prohibits
any school bo;.rd from paying more
than the minimum wage. School
board members who enter into con-
tracts for less than the sums men
toned in the minimum wage law
may be fined or sent to jail, or both.

Des Moines, May 5.-This is a
busy week at the state capitol. The

ports that the new state aid law pro-

Attempt of custodian Duckworth
to discharge capitol policeman Cox,

war in which most of the state offic-
ers are implicated. Cox secured a
temporary Injunction from the court

More than 40 years ago while a
family named McGinnis lived near
Creston their little 2-year-old daugh-
ter died. There was no cemetery in
the immediate vicinity and the faith
er was a poor man, hence he made a
rude coffin and buried the body on
the home place, after which he cut a
round post, split it in halves, one of
which he placed at the head, the 9TH
er at the foot, to mark the spot. Peo-
pie wondered that the timbers had
stood so long and a short time since
an examination was made, when it
was found that both had turned to
solid stone. Nature had done for the
little one what her own folks were
unable to do, in furnishing perma-
nent markers for her tomb.

SPRING SUITS OF HEAVY SILK

Heavy are among the most tempt
ing offerings in this season of partic-

trous failles, ottomans, bengalines,
poplins and Bedford cords, in rich and
beautiful colorings, promise a far
greater variety than was possible last
spring with its monotonous black,
blue or taupe satin suit, repeated in
wearying sameness. Another novelty
which, 1t has been predicted, would
appear at the Paris openings is silk
covert cloth.
For still more dressy gowns the
brocaded silks will be used, especially
in combination with plain silks of the
same shade. Brocaded silk wraps will
be found with plain one-piece dresses.

Here are some ideas for the WON,
an who admires attractive neck bows.
The lace shops are selling medallions
of cluny, Arabian and Irish crochet
lace from 10 cents upward. Medal
lions Of the most expensive variety
appear in the shapes Of butterflies,
spades, clover leaves, diamonds and
crescents. Purchase a butterfly OF
cluny lace and mount it upon a fiat
bow of pleated black mousseline.
Three acknowledged medallions
can be arranged over pleated white
net, two forming fat bow, while the
third falls over the jabot.
Large rectangular medallians car
be gathered through the center and
mounted upon a bow Of mousseline

ter. 1t requires very little time tC
fashion these bows. and they are

GUST j. S. EMBASSY
Building Occupied by Herrick in
Paris Is for Rent.
American Ambassador Hasn't Stuff
eient Funds to Pay for Valuable
Property and Landlord Loses
Patience.

Paris.-The Paris diplomatic world
is enjoying a quiet smile over the
American embassy's discontinue in
receiving a notice asking it to move
from it's present quarters, thus prov
ing once more that America abroad is
at the mercy of the landlord.
The embassy's quarters, at Is Ave
nue. Kleber. which have been occupied
for the last sixteen years, are now
decorated with a billboard inviting
rental as a shop. The billboard is
placed almost parallel with the ma
tional escutcheon.
The officials of the embassy in an
swer to a direct query inferred that
the monetary question lies at the root
of the difficulty. as $4,000 nowadays
does not allow the chancellery to OBJ
tain what is necessary in food and
suitable quarters. The incident has
brought the question of proper resi-
dence for the ambassador to the front
once more. Even those who with some
difficulty understand that an American
ambassador may be compelled to pay
his own house rent are unable to COM
prehend how he can be called upon to
furnish the official part Of the en-
bassy.
To all inquiries the members of the
embassy exhibit the greatest embar-
rassment, as the means to remain in
their present quarters are lacking. 1t
is impossible to raise any legal objec-
ton to the action of the landlord, as
he has proceeded entirely within his
rights. The rental allowance for the
chancellory has remained at $4,000 for
the past sixteen years, while in every
quarter of Paris rents have increased
from 10 to 35 per cent. during that
period.
The Quarter Etoile has been espe-
cially affected by this increase, owing
to the invasion of the district for bust
ness purposes. The Champs Elysees,
which sixteen years ago had not a
single shop on it, now contains more
than 200 stores Of various kinds. in

VELVET A POPULAR MATERIAL
One Recommendation ls That u
Lends Itself to Great Deal
Of Variety.

The velvet suit Is the most conven-
lent costume of the moment. for it
may be built on either plain or sim
pie lines, and it may allow itself a
good deal of variety. Midway between
these two styles may be indicated
the suit which has a fairly long coat
deliberately cut away in order to make
the most Of a stylish vest. Striped vel.
vet, which rather resembles corduroy
in appearance, is favored among ma
terials for the more dressy type of cos
tune. such as one of gray striped vel
vet made with fairly long coat fas'
tened in semiRussian fashion at one
side. with a close row of crystal but
tons stained with black The revers
and collar are of velvet, the collar be
ing faced with crimson and bordered
with black satin. Such a coat has az
a noticeable detaf1 long and narrow
sleeves closely buttoned on the arm.
