MAY TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS
Of HAB|TUAL DRUNKARDS
Plan. to Avoid Dispensing
LIQUOR to Them Considered
for Washington.

Under the provisions Of the excise law
II is an offense to dispense liquor to in
toxicated persons or habitual drunkards.
The courts have about determined the
question when q man is intoxics ted but
saloonkeepers are wondering how they
are to know habitual drunkards from
those who only occasionally imbibe too
much.
Mai. Sylvester, chief of police. has not
yet given much thought to the question.
1t is possible, however, that he may adopt
the method Of photographing habitual
drunkards and furnish saloonkeepers
copies Of their photographs. a plan re-
Gently suggested in Wilmington, Del.
TT would be an easy matter to photo
graph persons who had been declared to
be habitual drunkards," commented po-
nceman today, although it would in
crease the work of the police photograph
er and be the means of mourning addi-
tional expense in the conduct of the po-
lice department"
Not Intended for Display.
The plan suggested in Wilmington in
cludes the furnishing of copies of photo
graphs Of such persons to saloonkeepers
so that each person selling liquor would
always have the pictures of such men for
reference. It probably is not intended to
have the photographs displayed for the
benefit of the public
Judge Pugh, who is presiding in the
District branch Of the Police Court, and
before whom habitual and "occasionaP
DRINKS are arraigned daily. is Of the opin-
ion that photographs should not be taken
of inebriates
II think it would be holding a man up
to ridicule,'' he said, (which is not JUS
tifiable.'
Judge Pugh also said that he did not
believe the police department could, I'M
der the law, take the photographs of ha-
bitual drunkaids. He said that there is
question whether it is correct to take the
photograph Of a person arrested for any
crime until after the man has been con-
victed.
II don't think 1t ought to be done in
Washington" he said.

BOY KILLED PLAYING HORSE

Neck When Heavy Vehicle
Whirls Down Hill.

New York.-Three accidents to chill
dren in few hours emphasized the
perils of the streets as Fairgrounds.
One child was killed and two were
seriously injured.
George Manning, five years old, O.
2165 Amsterdam avenue. managed
with several playmates to take a de-
livery wagon from a lot With All
other boy he was harnessed TO the
shafts with rope, while strings
served as reins for a lad on the seat.
The street was an incline and the
wagon. easily moved, became unman-
ageable. Little George was forced to
run at top speed The wagon struck
a lamppost and the child was hurled
against the curb. His neck was brok-
en-. He died half hour later.
Ellis Silverstein left an auto truck
at 1920 street and Lexington avenue.
A boy fooled with the levers until he
started it,
The truck zigzagged through the
street, ran over Benjamin Chaser,
eight years old, and crashed into a
tenement house. William Bard, five
years old, was knocked down and ser1-
ously injured in front of his home by
wagon.

RINGWORM ON CHILD'S FACE

StratfoTd, Iowa-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringwOTm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
Of birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching ard burning, SO
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles Of Iiniment,
but nothing helped.
Il saw where a child had q rash On
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and I decided to
use them. I used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about one month, and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)

BACKWARD VIEW OF FASHION
Most Interesting Way of Really Get
ting Hold of the Changes
in StYie.

An interesting way Of really getting
hold of the changes of fashion is to
look back a year and see what one
was talking about then. Judged by
that test. one of the most striking
contrasts BETWEEN last June and this
is the persistence with which the sub
ject of silk holds the attention today
Ordinarily, by the first of June, silk
has practically ceased to demand con
sideratiCn. Even belated buyers
those women who, in ordering their
wardrobes, never do catch up with
the season and never wiTl-refuse gen
orally to get excited about silk suits
and dresses when summer is actual
ly present.
But this year these late shoppers
cannot afford to ignore silk, for it is
enjoying one Of the most enduring
vogUes in all its long and checkered
career. The woman who thrifty
looks ahead and expects considerable
service cut Of her wardrobe is espe-
cially open to the idea of silk as a
summer fabric. for she reflects COM
placently that the frocks can be car
ried over for cold weather wear

There have been various and sun

tell-tale, mirror-like polish from a

has been found which viii remedy the
evil. It's a little arrangement about

Fall Shoes.

Local manufacturers and jobbers of
women's shoes offer 14-button patent
and dull leather shoes. with narrow
toes and low heels, for fall wear, says
the New York Times. Out-of-town or
ders so far specify broad toes and
lower heels, combined with the wide
English shank. Colonial effects and
pumps, with narrow toes and Louis
Cuban heels, lead current selling. High
shoes most called for now are patent
feathers having gray, brown and white
cloth tops. For summer the demand
is practically limited to white kid and
canvas oxfords. Tan and white OK
fords sell best for mems spring and
summer wear. Tan high shoes are
the expected leaders for mems fall
footwear. New styles will have wide

Comfort for the Plunn.

There is little enough in present day
styles to bring happiness to the stou,
woman. Her hips are a constant sourc,
of worry, in spite of the fact that her

surveys the flmy chiffon and lace I'M

But the bassieres of heavy allover

TEST YOUR DRESS SAMPLES
How to Find Out If the Fabric is All
That Is Claimed fer 1t by
Merchants.

To find out whether a fabric claim
ed TO be all wool contains cotton or
not, boil a sample in a strong solution
Of caustic soda, obtained at any drug
store The wool will dissolve with
this test, and if there is any cot
ton in the sample it will remain
unframed.
To test silk, soak a sample in con
centrated hydrochloric acid, which
will at once dissolve the silk, leaving
the other ffbeTs untouched.
Linen suspected Of containing cot
ton should first be boiled in clear wa
ter. After drying place the sample
for seven minutes in mixture com
posed of three parts nitrate Of potash.
Wash the sample again and dry: then
place in mixture Of ether and aIco-
hoL This will dissolve the cotton
and leave the linen untouched. Use
a small stick when testing It only
takes a few moments to make q test
and you are then sure of the quality
paid for.

Two Pretty Models.

the most popular and successful hats
just at the moment.
These quaint shapes provide a real
protection for the face and eyes, which
is something; but it is because they
are SO becoming that the keen eye of
the summer girl fingers upon them.
They are bewitching and all the popu-
lar fabrics for midsummer, more espe-
cially Iaces, malines, figured silks with
ribbons and flowers. seem to find their
best expression in these shapes.
Other Bonnets follow in the train of
the poke and the COrday bonnet-like
hat shows signs of understanding it
in popularity. Light colOrs, small
flowers, lace malines, many pIaitings
and velvet ribbon are the features one
gathers as predominating Ties and
straps under the chin appear on those
bonnets made for youthful wearers
But the middle aged must beware of
this feature-it is not for her.

Big Blasting Feat.

An eyewitness of one of the big
hastings undertaken a short time ago
1t the Grand Trunk Pacific terminal
yards at Prince Rupert describes it as
one Of the greatest blasting feats ever
undertaken in Canada. Where a day
before there stood a ridge of solid
rock, as long as a city block, more
than so feet wide, and 40 feet in
height, there lay, after this blast had
been fired tons upon tons of shattered
stones. Approximately $4,000 cubic
feet Of rock was destroyed and the
cost Of the blast mounted to the neigh
horhCod of $4,000
