Winter

This Is to be "collarless' winter,
according TO the latest fashion ad-
vices, and not even the coolest wealth
er will be justification for covering
the throat any higher than is accom-
plished by the popular round. or its
more recent variation, the DeMediCi
collar. The news was at first received
with gasps Of establishment and sur
prise. particularly when the new sep
arate blouses to be worn with coat
suits were also seen to be largely col
larless. For dark cloth collar does
not look well against bare throat.
The milady suddenly bethought
herself OF pinning a separate outside
collar to her coat or of wearing the
nat collar OF her blouse over her coat
collar. And 10, here we see her trip
ping down the street looking pleased
and happy at this clever solution of
what looked at first like a bothersome

which had taken possession Of the

endeavor to see the latest dress Crea-

Henry Wilkens said:

apparently oblivious Miss Wheeler,
on her way to the station, tripped
gayly along and at each step the slit
In the back OF her skirt, would open,

Portland c.rant

The making of barrel of portland cement will consume about 450 pounds of limestone and 150 pounds of clay or shale. A plant making 1000 barrels a day will therefore use In the course of an ordinary year about 68.0O0 tons of limestone and 22,000 tons of clay or shale. Assuming average density for these materials, a 100000 barrel plant will use up almost 100000 cu- bic feet of limestone year. together with 250.000 cubic feet of shale, the United States geological survey points out.
 "As the investment in the plant Is heavy it would be folly to locate a cement plant under ordinary circum- stances at a point where less than twenty years supply of raw materials is in sight" the government scientists suggest. A 1000 barrel plant, there fore, should have 20,000,000 cubic feet of limestone and 5000.0o0 cubic feet of clay or shale on Its properties.

Rare Violin Sense.

An amateur violinist in town here, says the Glasgow News, bought i'd dle secondhand for mere song. Be ing of opinion that he had made a deal, he sent it to we'll known violin expert who undertakes to give an opin- ion as to the value, of instruments, monetary and otherwise purely for the love of 1t. The expert assured him that there was nothing unusual about the fiddle and that it was worth about couple of pounds. That is about about twelve years ago, and recently the violin was again sent to the ex- pert for criticism. The reply was con. tained in one eloquent sentence "This violin has been here before" Consid. ering that this gentleman criticises a very great number of instruments ev- cry year, and that he guarantees that violins will not be marked in any way, this is surely an extraordinary example of violin "sense.'

What q Blockade Means.

The object of blockade is to prevent the communication of a country with the outside world and to stop the en. trance of supplies of provisions, ma. terials of war or achievements.
 A vessel is not liable to seizure If fl Is in ignorance of the blockade. A yes. sel is allowed to enter a blockaded port If it is in danger or distress. Mail steamers, if no contraband of war is carried, and neutral warships can en. ter and leave a blockaded pert.
 A blockade to be effective must be maintained by a sufficient force to pre-. vent the entrance of neutral vessels into the blockaded port or ports and must be formally proclaimed
 The most extensive blockade ever conducted was carried out by the fed. erals during the war between the states. It extended for 5000 miles along the Atlantic coast and the gulf of Mexico and lasted four years.-Lon. don Mail .
