of an egg and shape them into small

batter cooked in three layers. one of
which is spread with red. another blue
and the third white icing. Over the
white top icing dot tiny blue stars.

Children are pleased with these fancy
cakes. and il takes only little extra
time to make them. and surely the oc-
Casion warrants a bit OF an effort.
A headdress Washington party is
another good idea for children. for it
admits of all sorts of original notions

girls with powdered tresses piled high
on their heads in curls and puffs are
only a tribe more attractive than the
boys are with their powdered locks.

women of Italy the first step in their
fight for suffrage Although parlia-

ing that the time is not ripe in Italy
for such d radical innovation, it con-
sented 10 remove the first obstacle in
the pathsof the women who are fight
ing for that end Heretofore the wom-

the electoral laws with those to whom
tho right to vote is denied, a class
which includes imbeciles, those who
otherwise are incapable of voting and
criminals who have forfeited their
right OF franchise
Under the new law they are placed
in the category Of those who cannot
vote merely because they are not reg

by flames in the second story OF an
antiquated convict cage the first floor
OF Which was used to store hay, grain
and molasses, 80 negro prisoners were
burned to deathat the Oakley convict
farm 20 miles from here early today
With the flames rapidly eating away
on the only stairway leading TO the
second floor the entrapped prisoners
/ frantically tore at the heavy bars that
lcoyered the windows but to no avail
Their screams brought the two night
guards to the scene before they had
/ seen the flames, end soon other prison
attaches hurried to the cage.
/ Their efforts we're futile, however,
as the flames drove them back each
time they attempted to liberate the
men At last they stood aghast whom
slowly the frantic screams Of the burn
ling conYicts died away as one after
another succumbed to the flames. Fin
rally all was quiet and the smell OF
burned human flesh permeated the cir
rs the flames burned the last of the
building.
Everything was in the flames ia
yor. The building was constructed ten
years ago of lumber taken from dis
carded penitentiary; there is no fire
