TWO CHURCHES in
OTTAWA MAY JOIN

Ottawa, Sept. 21.-FollOwing the
decision of the Christian church not
to enter a federation with two other
churches, the Congregational and
Presbyterian churches will probably
federate. Articles recommending
the means Of federation have been
prepared by a joint committee from
both churches and await the ratifi-
cation of the congregations. The
move is not for union as beth church
bodies will retain their individuality
but there will be a Joint governing
body to control everything but creed
and one pastor will preach to both
congregations. The members will
probably meet in the Presbyterian
church.

MAY SAVE ENTOMBED MINERS
Rescue Party Can Hear Survivors
Tap on Air Pipes

Salt Lake City, Sept. 19.-Work-
ing to the limit of human endurance
the rescue party in shifts of $50 is
forging its way inch by inch through
the mass of rock and earth that
holds prisoners ten or twelve miners
entombed by a cavein on the 1900
foot level of the famous Centennial
gold mine at Eureka. Two miners
have been found dead, crushed by
the slides.
That some of the ten are still

veyed along the air pipes. Whether
they can be reached before they die
of suffocation or starvation is a
question.

Have you noticed the plain little
embroidered frocks for children that
the exclusive shops are showing?
They are made from chambray,
lawn, crepe and ratine weaves and
trimmed only with a bit of hand
embroidery. worked in white on
colored material, or in a color on
white material. These simple little
frocks are often absurdly high
priced because of their individual
ity, but you can easily copy them
for your little daughter as the ma
terials are not expensive. They are
most simple to construct and the
embroidery can be done even by the
amateur needlewoman. Transfer

which may be arranged in a variety
of different ways for trimming, as
the style of the frock may suggest.
These sprays are exceptionally easy
to embroider. as they may be done
entirely in solid work, or with the

A Good Boy

A long time ago there was little boy,
Who played all alone and was his
mothers joy.
He went to the playground, where all
children played
But he did not join them, for his
mother he obeyed.
One day he went out, he knew not
where;
lie walked, ran and jumped till his
feet so fair
Did burn from the stones and rough
roads he trod,
And, as night was falling fast, he lay
on the sod
His mother did sigh for her dear lit
tie son,
AS he was the only beloved one,
But strangely, yet truly, it did seem
For when she awoke found it only
dream.

Furs for the Spring

So strong is the fad'for and the de-
sire to wear fur on anything and
everything there are being advanced,
presumably for early spring, the most
fascinating sets, worked out in NOUS
seine de sole. broche and such ma
terials. trimmed with bands of fur.
Some of these designs are almost
mosaic. Thus a case in point was
worked out in brown chiffon trimmed
with lines of polecat, each one rest
ing in a fold of different colored
satin. respectively a duh red, vivid
green and old gold.
These rather fiat furs, like polecat
and tiger, lend themselves with par
ticular amiability to the task of dec
orative detail, and are closely followed
by skunk, dyed opossum, zibeline and
fitch.
