Cool and Neat.

Not every woman appreciates the
qualities Of pure white percale. This
fabric Is much used by trained nurses;
for lightweight uniforms which may be
laundered to spic and spanness with
much less labor than linen requires.
Percale is also cooler than linen and is
much lighter in weight For beach
dresses for morning wear it Is a spe!
cially satisfactory fabric and may be
trimmed with stitching and buttons In
smart style. A young woman who al
ways looks as though she had stepped
out of bandbox wears nothing but
white percale frocks in summer time.
A loose blouse with tan open collar is
trinity belted above the short, straight
skirt, and buttoned boots of white
buck complete the costume.

very successfully. This was in 9 bright,
deep shade of blue, and the plaits
were Ill caught In at the foot beneath
broad band of black taffeta which
was considerably under two yards in
circumference. In dress of this
shape the difficulty is to prevent all
those plaits from ballooning up and
out as the wearer moves or sits about.

sary to make free use of shot all

This Is the dark side Of the shield
OF fashion-shot being singularly dis
agreeable to walker, as they strike
against the ankles at every step. How
ever; pride must bear pain, and those
who like the plated skirt must put
up with these little drawbacks. The
tailors also are using plaits, though
more sparingly. They are turning out

A Simpler Way.-Skin leg of lamb

that the cloth never gets dry. It is
best to put fresh vinegar on every

eagle near Washington, Conn, at
tempted to carry off a baby, the child
OF farmer named Matthew J. Crow
ley. 1t required the combined efforts
of Mr.. and Mrs. Crowley and several
other persons to save the baby.
The Swiss eagle is more powerful
than any American bird. The French
aviation officers stationed at Nice,
which Is within a few miles Of the
Alpine home Of eagles. have trained
six great eagles. The officers have
constructed machines resembling aero
planes in shape, but supported by
balloons. To these they attach chick
ems, mice and all sorts of live prey
that the eagles love.
The aeroplane balloons are then
sent up and the cables are let loose.
With fierce cries and Tapping of their
wings they attack an aeroplane and
tear the living prey from it. In their
eagerness they fight one another, and
the aeroplane is sometimes turned up
side down in their struggles. 1t is
uncomfortable that any men in an

or four of them, could retain control

FINDS OLD ROBBERS ROOST
Hope Now 10 to Get Treasure II the
Successful Band Ever Con-
cealed Any.

Medford, Ore.-A romance Of hid
den treasure was recalled last week
when J. M. Howard stumbled on a
rotting cabin on the banks of noun
tain stream in Jackson county. The
cabin is said to have been the home
of a gang of men who buried vast
treasure, looted from the Adams Ex-
press Company bank in San Francisco
when it failed In the early '60's. Mr..
Howard, pioneer prospector, was
told of the cabin six years ago by a
man giving the name Of Charles H.
Owens of Michigan, who searched the
hills for several years and then went
to Portland. For six years Howard
has looked for the cabin.
Although he has found the cabin
Howard has not uncovered the treas
ure, nor does he expect to until he To-
Gates Owens, who alone hold the key
to the mystery. Owens described the
old hut in detail just as Howard found
it, and stated that once the cabin was
found he could point out the hiding
place Of the money.
In 1854 the Adams Express Com
pany's bank in San Francisco failed,
having been looted by it's officers, so
the story runs. The robbers attempted
to escape to sea, but were in turn
robbed by the sailors Of the small yes
sci they boarded. These sailors came
ashore, built the cabin and buried the
money. Two Of them showed up in
Jacksonvil3e 61I were we'll known. It
is from one of these sailors that
Owens received his information. Fail.
