DESPERATE LOPEZ NOT FOUND IN Mine
Believed Desperate Has Outwitted
Sheriffs of Nine Counties and
Again Escaped.

Bingham, Utah.-After searching a
third of the Utah-Apex mine, the posse
which penetrated the stronghold OF
Ralph Lopez, slayer Of six men, came
out Saturday night and announced to
the thousands of expectant miners
that they had found nothing to indi-
cate that the desperate was dead.
The belief prevails that again the
sheriffs of nine counties and their
hundreds of deputies have been out
witted by the man who several times
since the pursuit began on Nov. q has
risked capture in oroer to jeer at their
efforts.
The smudges that had generated
deadly gases since Monday were al
lowed to die down Friday night and
Saturday the double bulkheads in the
tunnel mouths were removed. A party
of ten went into the mine in search
of the Mexican In a blind slope or
the 300-foot level cave-in was found
which blocked the passage. 1t was
thought possible that within this slope
Lopez may have taken refuge from thu
approach of the poisonous gases.

WEIGHT OF PARCELS 70 HAVE WIDER RANCE
postoffice Department to Make FIFTY
Pound Limit in First and
Second Zones.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Burlesons proposals to Increase the
weight limits of parcel post packages
in the first and second zones from
twenty to fifty pounds, to admit
books to the parcel post and to re-
duce rates in the third, fourth, fifth
and sixth zones was approved Satur-
day by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
The maximum weight of parcels to
all zones beyond the second was in
creased from twelve to twenty pounds.
The commissions consent to the
proposed changes was transmitted in
three letters from Chairman Clark to
Postmaster General Burleson. The
approved changes in rates and weights
to be in effect Jan. /, 1914, follow:
To reduce the rates for the third
| zone from 7c for the first pound and
SC for each additional pound to &c
for the first pound and &c for each
additional pound; to reduce the rates
from the fourth zone from SC for the
| first pound and &C for each additional
pound to &c for the first pound and &c
for each additional pound; to reduce
the rates for the fifth zone from sc
for the first pound and 7e for each
additional pound to SC for the first
pound and &c for each additional
pound; to reduce the rates for the
sixth zone from 10c for the first pound
and &c for each additional pound to
&c for the first pound and &c for each

Nv PEGGY POWER


with pretty bow
The girl away at college would sure
ly be overjoyed with a shoe Dag
which she can hang inside her closet
door, The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart'
ments for shoes, slippers and rupbers
and a long compartment on one size
for an umbrella, and on the other for
books not in use. The materials USED
should be heavy denim with the com
partments bound in tape.
A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col

be acceptable as a trunk cover.

are usually made of black satin with

Chic boudoir caps are made OF cir
cles of shadow lace IL inches wide
with soft ruffles of narrow lace around
the crown. The ruf1es should be made

The cap is decorated with little pink
rosebuds and band OF pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are MADE
out of folded satin ribbon In three-inch
lengths. Turn the ends back at the cor
ners to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to wire

is formed of tiny bows OF twisted yio'

HSEE1119AlES
EsS&ga membrance would be COM
pleted in ample time, and un-
der no circumstances would the next
Christmas season find you in rush
and hustle, planning and finishing be-
lated Christmas gifts. What an loie
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are racking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour, in great hurry and turmoil
Isn't 1t SO?
What not to give, would be more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec-
ton of your gifts some regard mas
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility of the present. A wise idea Is
to spend more time than money III
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
II it expresses something of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit is not expenditure. How easy
1t is to purchase gorgeous gifts II one
has well filled purse! But Ii the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not De
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions of love and
thoughtfulness. The thought and time
you put In gifts Of your own handi'
work will mean much more than II
you simply give something for the
sake OF giving
The cost of homemade gifts Is gen
orally small. A multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have al
hand, and of odd pieces of linen, RIB
bons and silk. Clever fingers car
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote Of the Yuletide season
Go at your tasks In a cheerful, blith
some manner, and you will find YOU
work one of Joy. The following sug
gestions may provide you with numer
GUS ideas for attractive gifts. which
may be made inexpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets t

made at very small cost Make 81,

fragrant sachet powder. Place tn
saehets one on top of the other an
tie with narrow gauze ribbon. Gil
safety pins are attached to eac
sachet so the bags can be pinned o
the different froeks.
One distinct novelty is a colonia
pin cushion. For this unique cushto
you will navetto purchase glass ca,
