WAS N0T A REBUKE
Little Comfort for Republicans
 in New Jersey Election.
District Is Normally Republican and the Result Could Not Come as Surprise to the Leaders
 of the Party.

The result of the congressional cleo ton in the Seventh New Jersey dis trict appears to have been a reversal for President Wilson to the precise extent that failure of the local Demo crat candidate and his packers to keep the Progressives and Republic ans apart may indicate Democrat failure. All the personal appeal of the candidate and all the support given him by the president, in a pub lie letter of commendation and by authorized oratory from Senators James and Lewis, did not avail to out of voting the Republican ticket. Some political d;egnosticians may re- gard this as proof of Democrat weak. ness; others will not
 This Seventh New Jersey district is normally Republican, by an over. whelming vote. In the Republican Progressive split of 1912 a Democrat congressman, Representative Brem- ner, whose i'll health created a great deal of sympathy, slid through. When Bremner was elected the Progressives boiled 4,476 votes. In the recent cleo tion they boiled 619. What Progress i've party strength may have gone to the Democrats, as an eastern com mentator of wontedly judicious tenn per observes, was easily offset by Democrat defections to an unusually strong Socialist candidate. Whether this detail is exact or not, the obvious showing, as the New York World re- marks, is that Republicans and Pro gressives saw chance to make a kill ing by getting together, and they got together.
 In a Boston district, nominally Democrat, 1t will have been noted, the Democrats held their own and re- turned a Democrat congressman. Neither result seems to have had a legitimately national application for the enlightenment of those seeking light as to the trend of opinion in the matter of the tariff, canal tolls and other large questions. The issues were the same in both districts.

 It was undoubtedly this bitter ex. oerience that gave Washington an in- sight into the need of the new country for improved roads. subject which he discussed with yigor soon afterward in correspondence with General Forbes. who succeeded in taking Fort Du- luesne only after cutting shorter way from Carlisle through Bedford and across the Alleghany mountains.
 One of the greatest factors in the national campaign for better roads Is he voluntary work being done, espe- :ially in the far west, Robert Bruce writes in Leslie's. Of course the great est single example of this is the pros pective Lincoln highway from New York to San Francisco, which the au- .omobile and allied industries have un- dertaken to build and toward which over five million dollars have already been subscribed. In the territory west ,f the Mississippi river, which has no Buch sources of revenue to draw upon IS the Eastern states, this voluntary effort shows itself in an increasing aumber of good roads" days, when thousands of able-bodied men, ire luently headed by the governors of states, turn out and contribute the la Dor that Is just as necessary as cash. Sometimes it accomplishes more be- cause voluntary work is uniformly en- :husiastic and contagious.
 A fine example of this voluntary ef- .ort is the building of $50,000> sea evel causeway along the Pacific coast between Ventura and Santa Barbara, Cal, shortening the Los Angeles-San Francisco route about eight miles and saving many steep, dangerous turns ,ver the mountains through the Casi- as passes The funds for this work were raised principally through the Automobile club of southern Califor- ,ia and the causeway was constructed for use by motorists pending the com pletion of a permanent sea level route oy the state.

 The lower part of the brim is GOV cred with lace also in this particular hat, although in others part of the mill linery braid is used or part of body hat, as shown in the second figure. The crown here is of leghorn with the brim, covered with horsehair braid, set in.

THE shoes of today distinguish their American makers, for they are brilliant achievements in the realm of footwear. When one considers that the fashionable shoe is wide of the mark in shape when it comes to fol- lowing the natural lines of the foot, and yet is comfortable, it is possible to realize something of the ingenuity which is demonstrated in its making.
 The most popular shoe for ordinary wear, the neatest and most shapefy, is the Colonial Pump. like that shown fn the picture. It is developed in many different styles and combina- tions of feathers or of leather and fabrics. These embody the patent leather vamp and the quarter of oth- CT leather or of plain or brocaded fab rfcs, Contrasting color is used in the quarters sometimes; light gray or white, and light tan are among the more pleasing effects.
 The pumps are fastened (apparent- Iy) under buckles of cut steel or sill yer filfgree or enamel. Pumps for evening wear are often made with vamp of satin and quarter of patent .alfskin, with finish of rhinestone buckles or ornaments. The pump shown here Is ideal in style and may be considered a criterion by which to measure others.
 There is almost as great variety in ties as in pumps. They are shaped

Triumph for the President.

President Wilson deserves the re- spect of every sound thinking, Ameri- can for his refusal to yield to the men who advised the withdrawal of the nomination of Winthrop M. Daniels as interstate commerce commissioner. The objections to MT. Daniels were based on his respect for property rights and his determination, while serving the state of New Jersey, to prevent the despoilment of vested in terests. Men of this kind are needed in our public life. The interstate commerce commission is just entering on the appraisal of the. railroads, and it is imperative that the commission should have on it men familiar with railroad values and unparalleled enough to make proper estimate of their value.
 Mr. Wilson was not only brave enough to refuse to yield to the men who objected to MT. Daniels. he was strong enough to bring about the con firmation of his appointee. This is g victory for fairness and justice.

IF you are fretting your mind in try ing to make decision as to what sort of hat you will have for midsum- mer, let it rest upon one similar in general style to the two pictured here. Have the prettiest, most becoming and most fascinatingly feminine of all millinery, with laces and flowers and ribbons making up confection to be worn upon the head. For the mid summer hat will sit at the top notch of style when it is a means of wearing a good-sized bouquet fastened to a fair head at some slightly dashing angle.
 Roses and small flowers in the nat ural sizes, the lilac and the violet, forget-me-not, heliotrope, and heather, and small daisies betoken the love for garden flowers which lies in the mind of many wearers of flower hats. But the flower hat bedecks itself with flowers common and uncommon. From the yellow field daisy to the most un- usual orchid, like and unlike their prototypes, everything in flowers is fashionable
 One of thA hats shown here is a round crown covered with maline, in brown, of the shade of it's wearer's hair. Over the crown brim is slipped, covered in the same way as the crown. It is narrow at the right side, widens and flares up at the left. A fine ma chine-made lace is laid smoothly over

The Underwood-Simmons tariff law is six months old, and the country, to all appearances, still lives and does business. With the coming of spring bank clearings, the only certain ba- rometer of trade, show steady gains over 1913, and only the railroad situa- tion is in any way clouded. We have not heard. however, that it is claimed that there is any direct connection be- tween the railroads and the tariff.

APPLE WAS the
FRUIT OF GODS
And the Juicy Pippin Still Re-
stores Youth and Strength,
Says the Doctor.

The slogan An apple a day keeps
the doctor away" made famous by
the series of apple shows held annual
ly at Spokane and the seventh OF
which will take place the week Of
November 16, has been thoroughly
analysed by prominent New York
physician.
When you eat an apple, states the
doctor, you are taking into your sys-
TEN albumen, sugar, gum, malic acid,
gallic acid, fibre. water and phosphor-
us. They sound alarming but nothing
could be better. The malic acid neu-
tralizes the excess of chalky matter
caused by too much meat and thereby
helps to keep you young.
Apples are good for your complex
ion. Their acid drives out the noxious
matters which cause skin eruptions.
They are good for your brain, which
those same noxious matters, If retain
ed, render sluggish. Moreover, the
acid of the apple diminishes the acid
ity of the stomach that comes with
some forms of Indigestion. The phos-
phorus, of which the apple contains a
larger percentage than any other fruit
or vegetable, renews the essential
nervous matter of the brain and spinal
column.
Oh, the ancients were not wrong
when they esteemed the apple the
fruit of the Gods-the magic renewer
of youth through which the Gods re-
stored, when they felt themselves
growing old and feeble.

high and 800 yards In circumference.
Underneath the mound lie the heroes
who died In this most decisive victory
which prevented the Persians from in
vading Europe.
The battle had hardly begun when
the Persians in Immensely superior
force, doubtless ten to one. pulled
themselves together and by sheer mass
broke through the Greek center. But
this had been calculated upon before
hand. Miitiades employed strategy.
making his line weak at the center.
and allowed the Persians to break in.
Then. with his heavy masses at the
ends, he ground the Persian wings to
pieces and fell upon their center. The
most stubborn fighting. apart from the
battle ut the ships, was probably at
this spot. half mile from the shore.
Six thousand four hundred persians
lay on this plain and along the shore,
while 1872 men of Marathon lay wrap
ped In glory on the field.
1t was long suspected that the he
roes Of Marathon were buried under

the surface Of the soil had been raised
by alluvial deposits eight to ten feet
above the level of 49, Il. q. In 1880

II Completely Submerged They Must
Go to the Bottom.
Answering correspondent who
writes: II am very anxious to find out
whether ship will sink If the bottom
Of the ocean is at great depth or, at
least. at such depth that the weight Of
the water would be greater than the
weight Of the ship It is the opinion
OF many that at certain depth the
ship would remain suspended instead
of sinking to the bottom. Please ex-
plain the exact truth of the matter"
Edgar Lucien Larkin In the New York
American says:
ANY mass that will entirely sink
below the surface Of the ocean will
sink to the bottom Of any sea or ocean
on earth. This is because water Is al
most incOmpressible.
Enormous pressure in hydraulic
presses has been made upon distilled
and also upon sea water, and the d.

Of density-is only OOOOO44 for ocean
water for each atmosphere. /. e., each

would be increased in density by very
nearly the same amount.
