What lit Costs to
Kill a Man in War.

When the Lame Medical Library
of Stanford University was de-
dicated on November Bird. 1912,
DIR. David Starr Jordon delivered
an address, in which he atated;
eIn modern war. it now costs on
an average OF about $4,000 TO
kill man. In the Boer war, this
expense ran up to nearly $4,000.
Ii is cheaper TO save men, 1t is
cheaperto stop killing, In our own
country, in the time of peace,
when nothing but peace is pos.
sible among civilized nations we
spend nearly million dollars a
day on matters concerned with
past or future wars; $850,00O a
day, on future wars alone, that we
may not be caught mapping when
the day OF the impossible shall
arrive. Scientific American.

Don't Believe i'm a
Criminal Libel Law.

A few days ago District Attor-
ney Ward, OF Las Vegae, gave his
views of New Mexico's freak libel
law, which appeared in the Santa
Fe New Mexican, as follows:
Mr.. Ward, although he hasbeen
a prosecuting officer for eight
years, expressed the belief that
the present criminal libel law
should be wiped out entirely, "The
theory upon which libel Is crime
10 that ii leads TO breaches of the
peace" he said. "This doesn't
hold true in fact. III certain type
Of man is llbeled in certain
way, he will break the peace just
as quickly when there is a libel
law as whensthere isn't. The man
who goes to the court to prosecute
for criminal libel wont't break the,
peace anyway.
"In my district In eight years
only one libel case has been prose-
cuted, and that for a very par
ticularly bitter and uDiustifiable
attack on county officer. | don't
agree with those who urge that we
should leave people free to say
whatever they wish about officers.
About the only possible excuse
that can be given for a criminal
libel law is that protection may be-
offered to men who, on account OF
their position, are particularly Ii
able to attack and who cannot as
we'll defend themselves as people

tainly be no more justification for
calling man a thief because he
holds a responsible public position
than in the case of private citi--
! zen and in the former case injury
is done, IL the charge Is false, to a
whole community, county or state.
| But | don't believe hauling an Of
, render through the criminal courts
is the proper remedy in any case
II don't believe the law has. been
abused in New Mexico, but it has
always appeared to me that the
J matter shedId be left to the civil
't courts.

cannot be too highly commended. The
texture is beautiful. the colors are won
derfully soft, the wearing qualities are
undisputed, and, In addition to all this,
the warmth Is far In excess OF the weight.

School frocks are very attractive when
they are developed in some form OF the

and velveteen needs little or nothing In
the way of trimming.
The suspender dress, which has been
revived and which Is very appropriate
for school wear, is a good model for the
woolen velvets. A skirt with a few
gathers attaching 1t to a yoke or a half
yoke, or circular skirt depending from
bands OF the material that start at the
waist In front, cross over the shoulders
and fasten at the waist line in the back,
constitutes what Is known as the sus-
pender frock
It can be worn with a white cotton
blouse or a simple silk shirt OF the wash
able kind. A plaid blouse that harnonizes
with the color of the skirt can be in
cluded In the list and makes a pleasant
variety.
When the school girl needs a party
cape, one of velutina could be made at
home at the cost OF comparatively few
dollars. With the vogue for fur banding
outstripplng every other vogue in popu-
larity, even the domestic cat has not been
spared, so that fur, of a sort, is within
the reach of the multitude.
And while the lineage OF the fur may be
doubtful, its appearance, its surface duaIi-
ties are very attractive.

WOMEN AND TROLLEY CARS

The car was crowded. People swerved

corners, or shot wildly forward when
the new motorman stopped with a jerk

passengers a good time. Life on a trolley

from hand to mouth"
Women talk like this In the street
cars every day, and this is no exaE-
seration. Family affairs, names, busi-
ness secrets. ailments and all other pri-
vate matters are fairly retalled to the
public. Not long ago. a crowd of matrons
got on a car and sat opposite young
girl and her escort. For the rest of the
journey they cheerfully discussed all the
obstetrical horrors which came within
their knowledge. naming every single
mother and doctor. Well known surgeons
were criticised, and their medical stand
Ing questioned. The young lady opposite
was very much embarrassed, indeed. It
was a sad effort to pretend not to hear
for the voices could be heard all over
the car.
The woman who makes a point OF criti-
cising every passenger who enters the
car Is another common example.

MODES OF THE HOUR

With the season we'll advanced and at
time the different features of the
autumn models exhibited at the openings
Of the French houses have gradually
merged into composite and established
definite style. the original sllkouettes
still remain and are as far apart as the
poles.
What Partisan women wear usually
establishes the mode for Americans and
the world in general. but the world is
now left to It's own resources
1t is reported that there is no socia!
life in Paris, and that the society columns
in newspapers are replaced by war news
and lists of the killed and wounded.
But, although the influences of the war
are far-reaching and affect this country
whichever way ono turns, clothes must
be designed and made and worn as usual,
with individual taste determining the
choice in the absence of a fixed mode.
The illustration today shows a coat OF
distinctive cut, and one In which the in
tiuence of the Russian blouse Is para
mount. The plaits dlfferentiate II, how
ever, from the simple blouse, and the belt
is run through the plalts in a decidedly
original way. Novelty buttons fasten the
coat at throat and waist, and the almost
inevitable accompaniment of fur banding
is seen at throat and wrists and also at
the lower edge of the coat
The skirt, OF which little Is to be seen,
Is made of one of the new Developments

THE SOCIAL CRATER

that she has been taken In as soon as
her visitor arrives. She stays indefi-
nitely, showing no signs Of being any
thing but very much at homo. Her plans
never coincide with those Of her hostess,
She gets UP late. after breakfast has
been served to the family, and upsets the
cook entirely with her orders. The cham
bermaid is delayed in her work as well
She makes her own individual engage
ments with the men of her acquaintance
never thinking to tell them to bring an
extra for her hostess. After she mas
stayed until another invitation looms up
on the horizon. she leaves, with never a
note of thanks to her hostess.
Another form of social CRATER 10 the
girl who breaks In" on parties. She
hears that q, friend is giving a party OF
some kind. Immediately she calls her
on the phone.
Hello, dearie, how are your haven't
seen you for ages. BY tho way. what
are you doing Tuesday night? oh, I'm
so sorry. wanted you to come over
and fill In at bridge game with us.
You don't mean II! Well, I'll be tickled
to death to come. So sweet OF you"
etc. And this girl knows all along just
who was going and everything else about
the affair.
This kind OF girl Is not the exception,
by any meAns-but the success of the
whole affair depends upon the flnesse
with which she does II. II you have ever
been victim, you'll understand.

The Weekend Guest

The visitor over the weekend is n
common occurrence nowadays, although
she was practically unheard OF before the
last year or 30. There are a great many
ways of making her feel at home, and
the Key to them all Is informality A
certain amount of informality is n saw
ing grace for the busy hostess, but n
guest should remember to be obliging as
well.
The visitors room can be made very
attractive. Have her suitcase brought
upstairs Immediately and have her good
gowns hung out on hangers to keep them
from getting a "mussed" look. A travel
ing brush should be at hand to brush her
nat and suit, etc. II you have a con-
serVatory place some cut flowers around
tne room. Nothing makes one feel more
at home than these little touches.

know how soothing II feels after long
train ride, and how beneficial to the
pores. A good-sIzed roll of
cotton batting, tied with pretty bow
OF satin ribbon, looks very attractive on
the dressing table, and is much cleaner
than the soiled lambs wool puff.
You can get cards now which match
the silks used to decorate milady's

For the Candid Woman

Have you ever had girl friend who

she doesn't like your eyes. because
they're too prominent. and that your
hair is terribly straight and that she
hardly knows why men md you at

think that she means no harm by her
observations.
The candid woman has the advantage
over her victims; they have no come

administering her bitter dose. You get a
new frock or hat, and when she sees you
In 1t. she draws a long breath and pre-
pares for the onslaught.

dearie. or it will make you look ter

Your hat is beauty, but the same thing
may be said of yellow. Now II you were

No. criticism is quite unnecessary,
