As to "FeeIing Cold"

The best way to get pneumonia Is to
gorge yourself with food and then
shut yourself up in a room, turn on all
the heat possible and stupefy yourself
In a fetid atmosphere. Most persons
think pneumonia or heavy cold
comes from sitting in draft or In
cold room. No person ever contracted
pneumonia simply by reason Of low
temperature, declares the Philadelphia
Inquirer. There is no danger, al
though much discomfort, in getting
chilled unless you are damp from rain
or perspiration at the time. The late
Admiral Melville relates that although
he spent two years In the arctic region.

and hunger, he never contracted cold

Sarah's Tomb Is Safe.

Nine Sarah Bernhardt has been as
sured that her tomb, which has been
prepared for her on rock in the At
lantic ocean, will not be taken from
her by the French government. The
tomb is hewn out Of a rocky peninsula
which touches Belle Isle. the island off
the Brittany coast where Nine. Bern
hardt spends her holidays. At low
tide the rock which contains the tomb
joins the island. while at high tide it
becomes an island itself. After the ac-
tress had prepared the tomb doubt was
expressed regarding her title to the
rock, and lawyer informed her some
months ago that it did not belong to
her. Nine Bernhardt has now receiv-
ed definite assurance through Nine.

The Governor and the Dock Board

While the politicians, the Regu-
lars, as these are styled, have been
insisting that the Governor has no
right to remove the members of the
Dock Board and to fill the vacancies
created, this contention on being
tried before two district judges, with
Attorney General Pleasant for the
Governor and number of attorneys
of prominence for the Bosses, has
been adjudged in favor of the ex-
ecutive Of the State. The Bosses, as
should have been expected, have ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, but
they are doomed to disappointment.
1T is safe to assume that when the
Supreme Court shall have reviewed
the case and the law that its decree
shall be in favor of the Governor.
If the Governor is denied the
power of removing or to demand for
cause, the resignation of officials,
especially to appointive positions,
then the Bosses would be enabled to
perpetuate themselves and their
friends to terms of indefinite Pc
riods, if not for life.

Willow Lifeboats,

Aboard one Of the ships which sal
between London and Rotterdam there
has been recently installed n species
Of lifeboat which is quite novel. These
boats, which do not weigh more than
the ordinary lifeboat of wood, are
made to hold thirty-tive people and are
composed of several concentric layers.
The exterior is of willow; then comes
layer of wood. then another of can
vas, a second layer of wood and n sec
ond layer Of canvas. The interior of
the boat is of wood. Experiment has
demonstrated that this kind of lifeboat
is practically 'unbreakable." and it is
guaranteed to resist the kind of shock
which so easily overturns the ordinary
lifeboat. 1t is also expected that this
new boat will keep afloat indefinitely
in the stormiest weather.-Harper's.

ADVANCE HINTS
FOR EASTER HATS
Small and Medium Sized Shapes
to Be Worn, and Ribbon and
Floral Trimmings Are to Be
Cleverly Featured.

~OMING early as Easter does
this year, woman's interest is
y turning to thoughts of hats.
Advance millinery displays are
crowded, and the consensus of opin-
ion is that small and medium sized hats
will lead in popularity.
Upturned brims are seen on some OF
the snartest spring models, and these
brims are adjusted in quaint and strik-
ing ways For instance, they may be
slashed open SO that the trimming ell
circling the crown shows, or the brim
may be twisted, indented or adjusted
at some novel angle.
The crowns are of medium height
and have less of the freak aspect than
had those we have been having for
some time. The popular tam crown is
still to be seen and is made of both
fabrics and straw. The rolling brim
is expected to have considerable vogue.
The long line from front to back is
emphasized in many new models. This
is called the aeroplane effect.
The double brim idea is carried out
on some hats by means of plated or
fulled ribbons.
Hemp is to be the popular material
for hats Milan straws, horSehair
braids, peanut, panama and leghorn
are also to be worn.
AS to combinations. various straws
are used with one another. They are
also combined with woven fabrics,
such as plush velvet, satin or crepe de
chine, and with the new brocaded cot
ton material in white and in colors.
Floral trimmings are to be again fea-
tured Wreaths, bands and clusters of
flowers are used to god effect Some
of the wreaths end in a cluster in the
back to give the long line effect.
Ribbons are to be very popular Bull
garian and Persian effects will be fea-
tured. Ribbon bands, ruches and fiat
bows will be used in connection with
floral and feather trimmings. Failles,
moires, grosgrains. satins. taffetas and
velours are shown. Tapestry effects
are shown in velours ribbons and also

Law Enforcement.

There are now enforceable within
the corporate limits of the City OF
Shreveport two ordinances recently
adopted by the Council the purpose
of which is to abate gambling and
the joints where intoxicants are sold
under the guise of the so-called
near-beer business. The ordinances
are copies of the ordinances adopt
ed by the authorities of Ruston, La,
which are drastic, and if enforced
rigidly and fairly will operate to-
wards better condition than now
prevails in Shreveport.
Under these ordinances the police
with search warrants may enter any
premises where it is suspected that
intoxieants are being sold or gam
bling is indulged
When these ordinances were en-
acted the opinion Of lawyers was
that these ordinances would moi
stand the test of the Supreme Court
and would be declared to be uncon-
stitutional, but such opinion must
be dismissed, since on Monday the
Supreme Court of this State sitting
in New Orleans passed on the Rus
ton ordinances, which were sus-
tanned, and therefore are in force
and full effect.
As provided by these ordinances,
upon the report of any reputable
citizen, or upon suspicious, the po-
lice with a warrant can raid any Of
the places, and to convict it is only
necessary as evidence to find in such
places intoxicants and the para
phernalia of gambling.
All such places may be closed as
being public nuisances, and the per-
sons found therein when raided Or
entered are liable to be held under
the law.
To compel these violators to have
some respect for the law, a drastic
measure was necessary, and now
that it has been obtained and it has
stood the test of the Supreme court,
there can be no plea or excuse for
permitting the defiance of the blind
tiger nor gambling, and it must rest
on the police department to enforce
the ordinances without fear or
favor.

in the heavy failles. Warp prints and
Roman and bayadere stripes and novel
designs in brocades are to be seen.
Facings are used on many hat
brims, and these are in the spring
models, in most cases Of black velvet.
Feather trimmings have seemingly
not worn out their welcome, for wings,
feathers and ornaments Stimulating
them are seen on many of the new
hats. A novelty is the wet feather
decoration, which suggests the weep
ing willow 1t is achieved by the
manufacturers using glycerin On the
feathers. Ostrich, coz, marabou and
other feathers are treated to look as
if they had been out in the rain.
Wings and feathers are put on the
hats to give them novel appearance.
They are placed on the headgear In an
upright, sometimes in a slanting, posi-
ton.
OF the two hats illustrated here the
one Of milan straw with the fancy or
nament illustrates this tendency to

The other hat is of new shade of
red and is faced with white. 1t is
adorned with a manufactured feather
ornament in white.
One thing noticeable in millinery is
that whether hats are large or small
they are adjusted so as to show more
Of the face and hair than in the past.
Interest in malines indicates that this
material will be much used both for
all malines hats and as trimming in
the form of wings. bows and edgings.
Two toned effects-that is. an un-
derbrim contrasting in color to the
top portion of the hat-are again In
evidence.
Many fancy materials. as Is quite
customary at the beginning of sea
son, are being shown. Among these
Is tagal Grape, often with inter
woven touches of gold or silver.
Long, slim curling quills and novel
wings will be prominent features in
ostrich trimming. together with many
fancy feather pieces.
Black and white are the keynotes of
the first spring millinery A little
later a riot Of flowers will follow.
