A TERM IN
PRISON
TBy Latest Mail

CHICAGO. Carlton Prouty. ricn
real estate dealer, was fined $500 and
sentenced to serve three months in
the county jail by Judge Richard ).
Tuthill in the circuit court for violat-
ing the Illinois law which prohibits
the remarriage of divorced persons
within a year. The jurist censured
Prouty for having married his former
ctenographer, Miss Marie Bueseher,
at Laporte, Ind. four days after his
first wife, Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty. had
obtained divorce. Judge Tuthin en-
ten ed a decree on the application OF
Mrs. Prouty Oct. Is. 1912, and al
lowed $50 alimony.
Judge Tuthill also indicated that
he would nullify the marriage OF MT.
Prouty. and Miss Buescher when he
signs the decree.
You have no excuse, Mr.. Prouty,
said the Judge. you have been
public official and were at the time
of your violation of this decree. Your
actions are direct contempt OF this
court. The law does not make any
distinction between the humble and
the unknown man and the man in a
high position such as yourself me

citizen in the eyes OF the law ana

MAYOR BOOSTS AND

CHURCH EN- MASSE

CINCINNATI.--Mor people attend.

and fashionable Cincinnati suburb, to

of that community of some seventeen
hundred souls. The outpouring fllle0

man Catholic.
The cause was. a proclamation IS
sued by Mayor w. B. Hay last Fri
day. which was distributed broadcast
over the village In the form of pink
pIacards and taken up by the press.
In his proclamation the mayor said
the church was the great conserva

zation,f hence the desirability of in
dorsing it through personal attend
ance
lIn calling upon every man, women
and child to attend he said that the
police would be careful to look after
those suspicious ,TJersons remaining
away from church. The village is a
great rendezvous for golf players on
Sunday, but the links were deserted
Mayor Hay was delighted. When
seen tonight he said:
"As far as / can learn, and | have
investigated and inquired carefully,
the churches were crowded. Ger
tainiy none of them was so complete
.ly filled before unless at a funeral or
wedding. At the Presbyterian church,

tically deserted during the services.

feated last fall as Progressive can

KEEP THAT Old
COW; SHE IS
WORTH COIN

If you follow the advice of the fed
eral department of agriculture you
won't sell the old COW with its soul
full eyes, or any kind of eyes so far
as that goes, for the important thing
is that COWS are going up, not like
Elijah, it is true, but still they are
going up in their own sweet way.
The department has sent out a bull
letin advising persons, especially
farmers Of the southern states,
against selling off their cattle at this
time, because of the threatened
shortage of meats in the United
States. :
"The prices paid for Gamers dur
ing this period have been so high thai
thousands of cows and heifers have
zone to the shambles which should
have been, retained on the farms for
breeding purposes" says the bulle-
tin.
In a former bulletin the department
emphasized the grave nature of the
meat shortage the country is about
to face and stated that. for the first
time in the history of the United
States more animal products had
been imported than exported. In
that statement it is said that the
country. will have to look to New Tea
land and Australia for much of its
meat supply.
The department says that buyers
from the west have been active in the
southern states for the last twelve
months bnying all possible cattle, for
Gamers or stockers, and that if the
large shipments out of that portion
Of the country continue, the south
Will soon be without cattle. Hard
emphasis is placed on the grave ma
ttre OF the meat shortage to come,
and all cattle raisers are urged to
breed up the native cattle and use
every means to increase their num-
Der and size.

ARMY AND NAVY

The difficulty experienced by re-
cruiting officers in the army in secur-
ing eniistnients is becoming so grave
that an appeal may be made TO con-
gress by the secretary of war TO
amend the. existing enlistment laws,
iH order that the army may be kept
up TO its authorized strength.
Reports indicate an unwillingness
among the young men of the country
to contract away their time for pc
Rod as long as seven years, even after
it is explained to them that only four
of these years must be spent with the
colors.
With growing demands for troops
for duty in Hawaii, the Philippines
and the Canal Zone and for the re-
cruitment of the existing regiments up
to the full strength. this failure of the
recruiting service is giving serious
concern to the army officers.

DAY OF THE DOUBLE SKIRT
Vogue That Has Much to Recommend
1t Seems to BE Decidedly
on the Increase.

The vogue of the double skirt seems
to be increasing. The under ore, gen
orally of supple satin, is often draped
and drawn in around the ankles. Over
this a contrasting material is draped
or pleated. In the latter case it
might pass for an elongated tunic,
especially as it is often of taffeta.
The fancy for these double skirts
finds a better medium of expression
in the sheer summer materials.
Through the upper one, which is
transparent, one sees the colored gar
niture of the under one and the effect
is very soft and pretty.
Ribbons are used for this trimming
of the foundation skirt, just as they
are employed under transparent bod
ices. This use of ribbons under sheer
waists vas introduced about a year
ago, but did not find it's way into the
fashions for the multitude until this
spring. In spite of the fact that it has
now reached the bargain counter
stage it is still a feature of many ex-
quisite toilets.

Dur sketch shows a useful and prac-

a metal clasp of the shape shown in
diagram A, On the left of the Illus
tration. Metal clasps for this pur-
pose, with perforations in them, for
sewing them on to the material, may
be inexpensively purchased in many
fancy work shops, and there are vari-
GUS designs that may be selected
from, and of course they cay be used
in making bags of any shape.
The bag illustrated is carried out
in dark green striped MORE silk, and
lined with soft silk, and the size indi-

though 1t could be made on the same
lines in a larger or smaller size, If
preferred.

pretty Lamps.

Among the many electric lamps
this season there are none prettier
and more effective than those made
OF wood, whether In extremely simple
design or hand-carved with artistic
patterns. For the room furnished In
old mahogany there comes a lamp on
colonial lines In perfect keeping with
the other furnishings. These lamps
are fitted with a globe quite like
those on the candle lamps Of long
ago.
Other standards are Of wood stain
ed in the rich green's and browns, and
others are painted white and enam-
eled SO that they resemble ivory or
porcelain With a shade of just the
correct size and style to bring on
the lines of the standard, one has a
lamp that is thoroughly practical and
satisfying to the esthetic sense.

The vegetable ivory has the merit
Of being all it seems rather than an
imitation. 1t is a Brazilian nut which
grows to about the size Of a potato.

were highly Interested, but disposed to
be painfully accurate about their an
swers of questions.
One day there was a review.
Which of you children" asked the
teacher, "can tell in what part Of your
body the heart is situated?"
A little maid on the back seal held
up her hand:
Well, Mary, where is your hearth"
asked the teacher.
