LESSON LEARNED
TOO LATE

Grand Rapids Press.
It is not an eleventh hour conversion tc
which the republican party has come
It has waited until the thirteenth hour
has been struck
The thirteenth hour is an hour too late.
Eleventh hour conversions are bad
enough; thirteenth hour conversions are
impossible.
The time for the progressive" senti-
ments expressed at the gathering in Chi
cago yesterday was last June. Then
they might have done some good. If
translated into action they might have
made Theodore Roosevelt the nominee
of the party and the president of the
United States. Roosevelt was beaten by
the very chicanery and fraud which it is
now proposed to abolish His defeat
mean the defeat of the republicans.
The reforms which the reorganizers
want to introduce were radical in 1912;
they are the merest platitude now The
country was wildly excited over the en-
trenched wrong in the republican organ
ization revealed by the crime of last year;
it hardly gives it passing thought to-
day. 1t no longer can do harm or good
Both the democrats and progressives
passed the old party on the road. If it
wants to fix up its broken machinery it
is at liberty to do SO; if it wants to stay
crippled it is at liberty to do so. Once
the nation would have been very glad to
see the republican party reform itself;
today it is immaterial what it does.
Why this change in attitude2
Simply because the republican party
learned its lesson too late. 1t had to see
the democrats in power and the progress
ives next in line to realize that the nation
would no longer stand for the reaction
aries. The party has been getting along
for years on the rehashed issues of so
years ago; it needed licking to bring it
up to date. But there's no thirteenth
hour on the national timepiece. It's
/ O'Clock by democratic time.

GATES WILLOpEN EARLY
Excellent Train Service Provided and
Arrangements Completed for En-
tertainment of Visitors.

The biggest day of the year in In
dianapolis is the day upon which the
great 500 mile automobile race is
staged at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway. Following the usual GUS
tom, the next race, which is the third
annual event of the kind to be held
in Indianapolis, is scheduled for May
30, and elaborate preparations are be-
ing made to entertain hundreds of
thousands Of visitors from every part
of the United States, Canada, Mexico,
Cuba and various European countries.
Bringing to bear that system which
has proved of such worth in years
past, the management of the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway has overlooked
nothing which will help to give race
visitors a pleasant and comfortable
days outing. Although the big race
will not begin until 10 o'clock on the
morning of May 80, the gates to the
Speedway Grounds will be opened at
6 o'clock and all the guards and other
attaches of the big race course will
be on duty ready to take care of the
crowds.
Arrangements have been made with
the Big Four railroad and the traction
lines for special trains which will
transport the visitors from the city to
the Speedway. The Big Four trains
will leave the Indianapolis Union Sta
ton and will run on a ten-minute
schedule. The railroad company,
after a careful estimate, has an
nounced that it will be able to give
frst-class Accommodations to $4,000
people an hour The traction cars
will leave the indianapolis Terminal
Stations and will run at frequent in
tervals.

An interesting moment in the 500
mile automobile race, which has be-
come an annual event at the Indian
apolis Motor Speedway, is when the
cars which have successfully passed
through the elimination trials line up
ready for the signal which will start
them on the long all-day grind. Every
man is fully conscious of the work
that is before him and he places abso-
Lutte reliance in the car which he has
been putting in shape for months be-
fore the great day arrives. So many
elements enter into an automobile
race that even the most expert judges
hesitate before ventuTing suggestion

Albert Guyot, who will drive the
English Sunbeam in the third annual
500-mile International Sweepstakes
Race at the Indianapolis Motor Speed
way May 30, is one Of the old school
of French drivers. In 1908 he won the
light car class of the French Grand
Prix, and the following year finished
fourth in the three litre race at Bou-
logne. He has won hundreds of med
ais and trophies and is noted for hfs
cool headed, scientific driving, as well
as for his daring. He is distinguished
among French racing drivers, for he is
also an aeroplane pilot, holding the
license of the Aero Club of France.
But not content with these honors, he
has also figured prominently in the
motor boat races at Monaco. Guyot is
now in England testing his Sunbeam
car at the Brooklands track. He ex-
poets to come to America early in May,
and will practice for several weeks at
the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

WOMAN'S BOYCOTT
 ON EGGS SPREAD


 New York, Dec. 2-Women all over the country are joining in the national boycott on eggs in an effort to bring that commodity to a rate considered reasonable. Women's clubs and in sdividua1s connected with organizations in various cities are taking the lead in the matter and getting housewives into a giant combine to stop the pur- chase of eggs until they are offtred for sale for thirty-fve cents or less a dozen.
 Women alone are conducting the battle everywhere, and from the rapidity with which the petitions are growing it is apparent that the egg industry for a time will be practically discontinued in some of the larger citess as far as home consumption is concerned.
 Inquiries and court actions have been started, and there is every indf- cation that som ething definite is about to happen to the egg business.

Easy and Practical Suggestions
 FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER

under the plait, therefore if is neces4 sary to finish this part of the model very carefully so that no suspicion o1 the adjustment will be visible.
 It requires 2M yards of 44-inch ma4 teria1 to make the skirt, with 34 yard of webbing 2 inches wide for stay. Cloth, serge, voile, velveteen, duvetynj velvet and peau de peche are only q few of the materials used in the de- ve1opment of this model.
 In developing the skirt, first join the side and back gores as notehed. Now, p1ait e1cten sfons, creasing on slot perforations, lap to double "oo" per- forations and press.
 Adjust bands on side and back gores, centef-backs even (narrow band is up- per band); stitch upper edges along crosslines of small 70" perforations. Turn under edge of front gore on slot perforations, lap on side gore to small 70" perforations, notches even: stitch as illustrated, leaving edges to left of centersfront free above large 70" per- foration in front gore for placket. Gather upper edge of skirt between double TT" perforations. Adjust stay to position underneath skirt, centers even, small "o'' perforation at side seam: stitch upper edges together.
 Among the new skirts classified as straight" this is a most popular mod e1. There are a few gathers at the back to dispose of the fitness about the waistline. These may be con- cealed beneath ha1f-be1t made of the material, cut in narrow strips, braided and finished with buttons or twists, also of the cloth.

 My little debutant friend, Jeanette, called me up this morning, and told me with tears of exasperation in her voice that, with her debut immediate that afternoon, in fact-and her. de- but dance that night, she was develop ing perfectly terrible cold-sorei''
 I sympathized with her, and then I did better than that. I told her how to send 1t away.
 First of all, my dear,''I explained, s'dose yourself with some asperine in order that the little cold germ that is already in your system may not have the opportunity to develop.
 Now, look at your sore in the mir TOT. Is 1t still in the red stage? Theu take a little piece of common alum and wet it thoroughly. Moisten your lip, and rub plenty of the alum on the lip where the cold-store is.

When you think that 1t is sufficiently dried up, the lip may be 'puckered' and wrfnkIed- Now, if ever you have a fairly reasonable excuse to cover the disagreement with a very little stick grease rouge, it must be done skill fully, however, or people will say that it is a pity that you dare not make your debut without artificial aidsI"

 LET THE MAN ALWAYS BE THE
 PURsUER IN LOVES CHASE
 A man can be charmed only by young womans modesty, her appar- ent sweetness of disposition, by. her lack of coQuetry making eyes at him, as it were, or by signtfying in any way that she is pleased with him. If she is coy and retreats he will pur- Sue for that is his nature. To make an impression on a man, a girl should not boast that she has other strings to her bow. Above all, young women ought to be chary about turning the conversation upon marriage. It is time enough for a man to find out a girls views when he proposes to her.
 A man may start their acquaintance with indiferencS. Or he may be one of that class who call upon a young lady with intention but to pass a pleasant evening. He might tate about leading a young girl to believe that it would not be aniss to set her hopes upon him.
 Any of these reasons are quite suf- f1cient why she could not win his heart. There's an old saying which tells us that ''the loss of one young man is the gaining of two and the choice of half a dozen." There seems to be but one royal road to a mans heart and that he is to let him be the Wooers from the start to the finish By the time a young woman has play ed hit and miss with half a dozen romances she will have learned that no mans heart is vulnerable save to the right one and that girl is often the very one whom he thought at first he could not get.
 There is a mystical art in winning a mans heart. When 8 girl is agree able her own natural self, she has put forth all the subtle charm given to sweet young womanhood to win love.

At present the theatrt- cal boom of the last two years has been overdone in the United States. He said today:

 Quite as soon as girl has the tucks taken out of her dresses, lengthening her skirts to her shoe tops, she hears the subject freely discussed that she Is to win lovers heart and marry some day. A great deal of interest is awakened naturally in her mind upon this subject. It is the pivot round which their dreams hang.
 Appealing to mans fancy and end ing by winning his heart, is not the wonderful undertaking that some wom- en imagine it is. Every man is but human, therefore, he is looking around for the girl who most appeals to him. If 8 group of young women are introduced to 8. nice young man, who fills exactly the ideal in each maid ems heart of what she would like in the way of a husband, and if he in g1es one maiden out, the others should not feel resentment. Really, my dears las man not perfect right to de- vote himself to the one who p1eases him most? The other girls should noy feel ptqued at their failure to attract him. It's providential that every man does not admire the same girl Or else the vivacious, pushing girls might get all the beaux and the shy maidens would be left out in the cold.
 The secret of so many failures to win mans heart is that women make too great an effort to win the heart which seems a prize to them. Men are sure to make comparisons of the girls upon whim they call. If one is 8 chatter-box and she keeps up a constant buzz of small talk for the sake of entertaining him he leaves with a headache. He has almost to be forced to make a second visit. He appreciates the girl who looks bright and smiling. She is much more at tractive as a listener while he is do- ing his share of talking. He leaves wondering whether he has made an impression or not. He is by no means certain of this. The man who is not sure that he has made a con- quest has more zest in the desire to awaken her interest. To win a mans love a girl should not put her self in his way. If he hasn't the inclination to call after he has had an invitation it will lessen his regard for her to receive little notes urging him to come. There are men who cannot be coaxed or coerced into spending an evening with a girl who
