Tourists Contemplated Trip ts
 vesuvius Is Postponed.
Writer Tells of the Difficulties En- countered in Doing Naples and It's Surrounding Attractions and
 Points of Interest.

Naples.-The difficulty of doing Naples and its surrounding attractions and points of interest within a posi- lively limited time was demonstrated, writes correspondent, when with trip to the crater of Vesuvius in mind, I surveyed the cone from my window balcony. Thick clouds envel- oped the truncated cone, and there was no sign of change of wind to clear away the mist and smoke sufi- ciently to permit view of the boil ing depths. So, inasmuch as there were other things that must be done home, regretfully postponed my wis., it to the volcano until some other time in the uncertain future. Per- haps the bronze pledges given at Rome will prove effective in insur- ing return, and then Vesuvius sure ly will be seen. 7.
 But fortune was not altogether un- favorable, for by good chance during the day 1 met, at the office of the American consul, Mir. Jay White. two scientists from Washington, who have come over for the purpose of studying the volcanic activities in Italy. Prof. Arthur l.. Day of the Carnegie insti- tuition and Prof. Henry Stephens Washington of the geophysical lab oratory. They will spend several months here and in Sicily, observing conditions and endeavoring to obtain specimens of the gases emitted from vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli, in their research into the nature of the forces which cause eruptions. It is to be hoped. that they will have the good fortune to gain information to aid in the evolution of a substantial working hypothesis explanatory of the most baf1ing phenomenon now confront ing natural science.
 [ Later in the day Vesuvius cleared off finely, tantalizing trick that made the postponement of the trip to the top hard to endure philosophically But it is quite well assured that the big chimney will continue to smoke for long time to come, and per haps when come again it will be performing more spectacularly thar at present.

 The cap is merely foundation of the figured net over. a fine wire sup port, and is bound with ribbon like that used in the matinee. Ruff1es of the wide val lace are sewed to 1t and bow of ribbon finishes it at the back
 There are many materials which may be used for this pretty set. Printed yoiles and lawns, swiss, shad- ow laces, organdy and the Highest challies are all available. Lace and ribbon are the most appropriate of all decorations.
 If material not transparent is pre- ferred wash silks and crepe de chine will make negligees almost as airy and dainty as those already described in thinner stuffs.

GRAIN TO STOP GOLD OUTFLOW.
Expect 75.oooo Bushels Will Be Sent to European Nations.

Expect 75.ooo, 900 Bushels Will Be
 Sent to European Nations.
 Washington. = Gold shipments to Europe are practically at an end for his year, in the opinion of George E. Roberts, director of the mint.
 Recently, Roberts said the excellent grain crop in this country, coupled with the bad crop conditions in Flu rope, would soon swing the balance of trade back toward the United States and check the outward movement of gold.
 This prediction was realized and the exchange rate had fallen to a point where the further exportation of gold would be unprofitable, and it seems unlikely that Paris vii make further lnroads upon the United States sup ply of gold.
 July and August promise to be rec ord months for wheat exportations. St Louis, Kansas City and Chicago have reported great sales of wheat to be exported. Engagements for September and October are also reporteds It is estimated that at least 75,000,000 bush els of winter wheat will be exported this month and next.

Congress and the Tariff.

Congress, under the Constitution, is charged with the tariff power-the greatest power it exercises. It could not if it would, and would not if it could, part with any vital portion of that authority. In revising the tariff, congress of course needs light, and should have an abundance of it. But the lighting scheme must be under its own full control. The proposition to put 1t under the control of "a non-par- tisan scientific tariff commission" bsgs the question.

HOME TRADE IS $40, ,ooo, ,ooo, 900.
Secretary Redfield Plans Stimulation
 of Export Trade,

| VI 6\ROIt tTduCs
 Washington. = Although world leader in the interchange of products among it's own people, the United States foreign trade is far short of it's immediate possibilities. Such is the conclusion of officials of the Depart ment of Commerce after study of the statistical abstract of the United States for 1913. American home trade at present is estimated at about $40,- 900, 100000, which is equal to the inter- national exchanges of the world and approximately ten times the value of it's own foreign trade, now valued at $4,- 00O.O00,OoO.
 The abstract shows that the present American export trade of $2,500. .000,- 900 represents about $25 per capita. A per capita basis equal to that of Argentina, 1t says, would raise Amerf- can export power to $5,000, ,000, ,000 and one equal to that of Belgium would bring it's exports to $10,000, ,000,000 a year, while it's aggregate of foreign trade. when upon per capita basis as l large as Canada's, would be consider Eably over $13,000,000,000.
 | The United States commercial pow CT and its strong international power is further emphasized in the abstract. It shows that the United States, with 25s, ,000 miles of railway, possesses one-third of the worlds total. It leads in the mileage of it's telegraph lines, performs more than one-third of the worlds mail service on it's own routes. while it's public debt of $1,0O0,000. 900 l is less than that of Italy, Austria.Hun-. gary, Spain, Germany, Australia, Japan, Great Britain and is less than one-sixth that of France and one fourth that of Russia. se | In the period since 1870 farm prod ucts rose in value from $2,000,000, ,000. to $10,O00, 100000 year; the coal out put from less than 30,000,000 to 500,- | O00,OOO long tons;, copper from s12,50o to 5O0,c00 tons; pig iron from 2.00o.- | 900 to 31 ,000,000 tons: petroluem from ,221, ,O00, GOO to 9,25o0O0.o0o gallons. and manufacturers from $4,000,000,000 to 1 over s20,0O0, 100000.

sleeve, instead of the usual loose dra- pery. is arranged in two puffs of fig. ured net:
 The underskirt is plain and short, that is, ankle length. The tunic is plain and cut long enough to allow of a little looping up about the bottom. These loopings are fastened with small bows made of the material.
 The bodice has small "V"-shaped opening in front. The girdle and lower sleeve are of plain material like the lower skirt. The girdle is wrapped about the figure and ties in a long hanging loop about eight inches be. low the waist.
 The hat worn with this smart little gown carries hint of fall in its trim. ming. The whole costume is charm ingly simple and of a character that can be worn on many occasions.

Court Decisions of
Interest

A Joy Ride With Disagreeable After
Effect-With slight omissions. the
language of the Georgia court of ap-
peals in Jordan VS.. State, 81 Southeast
ern Reported. $50. is substantially as
follows: ut appeared from the evil
dence that Hawkins, whose father in
stituted the prosecution against the
defendant, Jordan, was only 20 years
of age, and. like the average normal
youth, enjoyed the society of the fair
sex whenever possible; and regardless
of Mr.. Kipling's assertion that the
female of the species is more deadly
than the male 1t seems that he often
graved danger and was more or less
general beau, and did not by any
means confine his attentions to one, or
even two. of the neighboring girls, but
was in the habit of indulging in the
usual innocent attentions, going to
church on several occasions with diff
ferent young ladies, and, as opportun-
ity afforded, rendering delicate atten-
tons in the way of Coca-Cola drinks
and gifts of picture films; that on
particular Sunday he met Miss Heisel,
and paid her some attention in her
mothers presence, drinking Coca-Cola
with them; then later, on the day OF
the occurrence out of which this
prosecution arose, he met Miss Heisel
and the daughter of the defendant in
the afternoon on a public street, and
bought crackers and Coca-Cola for
them, and finally started to accompany
them on their way home; that an au-
tomobile drove up with two young
men of their acquaintance occupying
the car, who, at the request of the two
girls, took them to the home of the
girls, with Hawkins; and that when
they reached there the girls said
something about continuing the ride.
and said that their parents would not
object, provided they returned by
dark The ride was continued, and
on reaching the town of Harrison, one
of the girls suggested that they con-
tinue to the next town, and the driver
agreed to this. After starting on their
return trip, a tire blew out, and after
spending an hour or so in getting the
car in condition it was about o'clock
when they got back to Mr.. Jordan's. |
When they reached Mr.. Jordan's hauSe
they found him standing in the road
waiting for them, and upon coming up
to him he appeared to be very angry
and threatened to kill them. The
mother of Miss Heisel began whipping
Hawkins with a buggy whip. and hit
him over the head with the butt end
and broke his hat. being continually |
urged on by Mr.. Jordan. While she !
was whipping him Jordan stood there |
with a pistol pointed at him, and !
Hawkins backed down the road trying |
to explain, but was no: allowed to do |
so. He never knew that Mrs. Burnett |
objected to his paying his daughter
attentions, nor did he know why she /
got angry with him." The court held |
that parents have authority to use
necessary force TO protect their daugh- |
tiers from seduction or debauchery, /
but may not assault an apparent suit /
or merely on the assumption that he
may prove to be a seducer, unless the !
known facts and circumstances are
sufficient to legitimately induce this .
conclusion.
