Bcautiful!
{ Baltimore Sum-

Whatever else may happen in this campaign, we do hope that nothing will prevent the expected scrap be- tween Roosevelt and Cannon The Pennsylvania fight with Penrose will be more important, but 1t will be dull and heavy compared to that sched- uled with the eX-speaker. The first will be like a battle between the deadly swordfish and d numbering whale: the second like that between two rattle srakes. The old man militant of the Danville. H., district warns Freddy" off his congressional grass. and threat ems to spring some old political love letters on him If he comes meddlinr with his candidacy. And the hero of the Brazilian jungle and of many other places and things tells him he can do his worst and that he purposes to cut his head close behind his ears. It would be q pityt if these two an tdgonists did not come together. Two such picturesque, vivid barbarians of civilization rarely meet in the political r.ng in duel to the death. It will be q combat worth all the other features of the congressional campaign in spec tacular interest. And the more each damages the other. the better 1t may be for the country.

Dancing and Silk Gowns.
(From 42nd Annual Report of silk
 Asso. of America.)

Asso. of America.)
 The notable revival in dancing, which. has come about through the introduction of the tango and other South American dances, has had somewhat of a stimulatlve effect upon the silk industry by reason of the greater number of dancing gowns required, not only by women of fash ionable society but also by women of moderate means. who dine out much more than formerly. The custom of dancing in the afternoon as we'll as at dinner and after the theater has become almost universal in New York city, and the craze for this form of amusement is rapidly spread ing to other cities and tawns through out the county. Every woman who yields herself to this most popular fad needs a much larger wardrobe, which usually means Il greater yer iety of dancing and dinner costumes of silk. Tn order to meet, this situn- ton our silk manufacturers have brought out many fabrics especially designed for dancing gowns
 Not only has the increased popu- larity of dancing stimulated cx,r !n- dustry, but the great dressmakars of nave dlTIlOsl OuluoHt in bringing out original and fascina- ting creations in silks and satins. The influence of oriental fashions together with the new impressionistic tenden- cies in art have combined in an al- together unusual manner to produce this effect.
 Bold, striking colors, startling con- trasts and bizarre effects not only in color but in contour and line have been the rage. No fabrics have lent themselves to these fashions as read fly silks. The majority of these effects could hardly be produced fin other fabrics.
 Most lavish in decorative effects are many of the oriental gowns. em- bellished as they are with the richest embroideries of gold or silver thread, or tinsel, or the rich. brilliant em- broidery silks which are now pro- duced by our American manufactur- CTS in such a variety of styles and colors. Incidentally we might re- mark that the present fashions so favorable to elaborate effects have been of no small benefit to the man. ufacturer of embroidery silks
 Since the eyes of the world have been so much directed to Mexico and South America, not only on account of the revolution in the former coun- try but also by reason of the con struction of the Panama canal, fash ion details having their origin in the land of the Aztecs, the Teltecs and the Incas have been making frequent appearance.
 Fashion creators are ransacking all Central and South American coun- tries to find things which they can turn to their account. Even in Bo- livia, the roof of the world" one of the most isolated of human habita- tions, the costumes of the native men and women have been made to give up ideas to the unresting seekers after the new in fashions.
 Never has the search for the orig inal. the beautiful and startling as well as the graceful and the picturesque been so urgent and so persistent. old books, old pictures, old manuscripts. old pottery and all kinds of art ob- jects of every race, not to speak of the entire realm of nature. are all yield ing ideas for the adornment of the woman of today.

Gains He Had to Watch MGMahOn's \. Farm Yesterday. ...
POLICE SEARCHING FOR SPIDERS
Autoists Sped By Local Authorities Sumday.-Grange Holds Children's Night This Evening. Rummagc Sale Tomorrow.--I3ridge Repaired.

Tine next time that Mike Hammel is ordered to appear in court on certain date he will no doubt be on hand before any of the court officials arrive. Mike was arrested Saturday evening by Sheriff James Clark in Kensington for violation of the new law in regard to having lighted lantern on a spring vehicle. As the sheriff knows the man, he allowed him his freedom until Monday morn ing when the case was to have been tried before Judge George Griswolo. But no Mike appeared among the vother offenders yesterday morning, having apparently forgotten his en- gagement with the court of justice
 He was on deck bright and early this morning, however, and pleaded guilty to the charge against him, Sheriff Clark and Officer Ritchie tes- tified that the defendant and two others were in spring team last Saturday evening and had driven about Kensington without displaying light. The officers arrested Ham, Aanel about Ii o'clock near the railroad Fridge. Mike admitted his guilt, stat ing that he had forgotten the lam tern which he usually has on the team. Asked if he had also forgot ten court yesterday he replied that he had to stay and watch the place." Yhe place referred. to is P $. Me- Mahons newly acquired farm in Ken Eington where Hammel is employed as farm hand. He has been working there several months and this was his initial fall from grace. He told the court that his employer would pay the fine, $3 and costs. amounting to $13 being imposed by the judge.
 HammeIs is only one of several cases of violation of the new lantern law as several local residents have been warned to comply vi h the statute. The law is a great help tc all who use the highways at night und is doing much to lessen the dan- ger of accidents on the dark roads. The local, authorities are out to en- force the law to the very letter and will prosecute all offenders.
 After the Spc edcrs.
 There will be an interesting session at the local police court in day or so if present indications hold true. On Sunday the local officers patrolled the motor speedways In Berlin and as a result had three offenders in court yesterday, all of whom were con- svicted. But a few of the more dar- lhg motorists evaded the officers. two machines putting on high speed and disappearing in a cloud of dust.

ELECTION | n
MEXICO TO Be
SPIRITED

Washington, Sept. 22.-Although
Yesterdays official reports indicated
that friction between Generals Obre-
gon and villa was insignificant.
there was Il pessimistic tone in ad-
vices from Mexico today. The local
troubles in Sonora have given rise
to the fear among some observers
that Villa may attempt to quell the
disturbances there independent Of
Carranza's efforts.
Nothing OF a definite nature has
yet reached officials on which judg-
ment OF the trend of future events
can be based. Everything seems to
depend, they believe. on the outcome
of the election on October l. as 1t al
ready is realized that a contest will
ensue between the Carranza and
villa factions for political control OF
the assembly.
1t is doubtful whether the admin
istrative questions which must be ad-
iusted at Vera Cruz before the Amer
lean troops cafI withdraw will be
settled until early in October. by
which time it is believed General
Carranza will have retired as first
chief in favor Of Fernando 1glesias
Calderon, who would be designated
provisional president.
The state department today asked
the Carranza government to guaran

gathered at Vera Cruz seeking
