For Drying Ball Grounds.

A machine fitted with gasoline blow
torches was put in use last summer at
a Tacoma (Wash) baseball park for
the purpose of artificially drying the
grounds following transforms. The ap-
paratus is similar in principle to de-
vices used in asphalt pavement re-
pairs. 1t is built with an iron frame
in the shape of an equilateral triangle,
mounted horizontally on swivel wheels.
carrying five coil burners with down.
ward projecting jets. Over these
burners is a defector hood with ad-
Unstable wings made of galvanized iron
and asbestos. At the front of the car
riage are a gasoline tank and pressure
pump, which supply the fuel When
the machine is drawn slowly over a
moderately wet field, it is asserted,
the ground is within short time dried
sufficiently for use.-Popular Mechan-
les.

War and Woman.

"There is. perhaps. no woman who
could look down upon a battlefield
covered with slain, but the thought
would rise in her, so many mothers
sons! So many young bodies brought
into the world to lie there! So many
months of WEAKNESS and pain while
bones and muscles were shaped with.
in! So many hours of anguish and
struggle that breath might be! So
many baby mouths drawing life at
women's breasts-all this, that men
might lie with glazed eyeballs, and
swollen faces, and fixed, blue, Enclosed
mouths, and great limbs tossed.' And
we cry, Without an memorable cause,
this must not be- No woman who is a
woman says of human body, Tt is
nothing!
Women will end war when her
voice is fully and clearly heard in the
governance of states-because, on this
one point, and on this point almost
alone, the knowledge of woman, sim
ply as woman, is superior to that o.
man. She knows the history of hui
man flesh; she knows it's cost; he
does not."-Olive Schreiner

ELLEN EXPLAINS RED CROSS
SEALS

Ellen, who is seven years old and
lives out in Kansas City, came home
from school the other day with red,
green and white subscription card"
the teacher had given her. Her mother
had seen something about Red Cross
Seals in the paper, but didn't know
just what it was all about
"Oh," said the seven-year-Old proud
ly, "don't you know? They use the
money to take care of sick folks-sick
folks that haven't got any money to
take care Of 'emselves. The money
they get from the Sanity Claus seals
goes to run a hospital for those folks.
And they pay doctors and nurses to
teach people how to get we'll and how
not to get sick. Teacher told us all
about it. See, this paper tells"
Then Ellen's mother read the folder
that small daughter had brought home,
telling how often tuberculosis can be
prevented, and when she had finished
she signed the card for a liberal num-
Der of seals.

RED CROSS SEALS DECREASE
TUBERCULOSIS RATE.

'Wonld to God your work had started
hfty years ago." was the comment Of
an Arizona consumptive in writing the
other day to DR.. Hoyt e. Dearholt, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Wisconsin
Anti-tuberculosiS association. Part Of
the letter follows:
"Ffne work, old chap! That decrease
in the death rate seems a remarkable
gain to me. had not expected results
as soon as that. l have always laughed
at the authorities who claimed that in
ten years a case Of tuberculosis would
be as rare as one of smallpox is today.
The bad work Of centuries cannot be
undone in ten years. and so l marvel
at your wonderful progress. trust the
errors in statistics, if any. are all In
your favor. You inspire me. Would to
God your work had started fifty years

The letter contained check for Red
Cross Seals, from the sale Of which the
entire support Of the Wisconsin work
is derived. Every seal you buy is bull
let in the fight against tuberculosis.

The hats of the winter are exquisite
in their simplicity and blending col
ors. A tiny high-trimmed truban with
crown of plum-colored velvet is
wreathed in berries and soft-toned vel
vet roses. 1t is a model which is
charming when worn with either
tailored sun or frock of silk. One cum
ming toque made of mulberry-cOlOred
velvet has high crown and velvet rib
bon falls in two streamers down the
back The whole effect is distinctly
of the 1910 period. Some of the hats
have streamers, not only on the small
sizes but even upon the larger sailor
models A tan sailor hat is trimmed
with five blue velvet ribbon streamers
which fall off the brim and are con-
limitations of ribbon that makes the
crown, running around it from brim to
top.

TROUBLES NEVER COME sINGLY

A special dispatch from Winchester,

Erred Craycraft, of Winchester, re-

nouncing that his father, John D. Cray

A Frock with SurpIice Closing With
and Yoked Skirt Developed in Serge

"A froCk Witt SurpiCe SiOSin9 WIFI
and Yoked Skirt Developed in Serge
A great deal of braiding is being
used on coats and suits Not fancy
braiding especially, but edges are be-
ing finished with graid, or bound with
a new sort of stain braid, or bound
with braid, chiffon or silk, olike.
Waists Of net are braided with fine
soutache and a very effective trim
ming it is.
Suit cots this season are, as rule,
in the vicinity of &c inches in length.
The skirts are plain at the top and
fiaring out to an eight-yard hem, six
inches from the floor. In many of
these skirts there is an underskirt OF
not such huge measure.
This naturally shows the crinOline
tendency in our clothes. In the early
part of the last century, when these
wide skirts were worn, there were
hops beneath to keep them standing
out and to show their entire width.
Imagine a woman getting into Twen-
tieth Century street car or a Fifth
Avenue bus with hoop skirt to-day.
Still, with skirts widening rapidly
there is no telling quite what to eX-
pect, for when Dame Fashion gets to
moving she does not always stop at
mere consistency.
The latest skirts are faced up with
twelve to fourteen inches to give the
proper stiffness. And one charming
gown, which | saw worn not long
ago at a hotel where the faithful fol-
lowers of the tickle Dame assemblies
for tea and to dine, was not only faced
up very high but was corded with a
thick cord which made it swing at
tractively.
Worn with these skirts are bodlces
which cut off straigh around the waist
line. in the old-time basque style.
Sometimes they are corded on the
edge The sleeves were some of them
very long, and others short and puffy.
The line of the low necks of these
s bonices are long over the shoulders
exposing the the tips of them in the
fashion one sees in daguerrotypes.
Others. where they are not wanted so
low are finished with fichu of the
same material which is draped around
the shoulders giving the long line of
the shoulders but showing only the V
of the neck.
Another crionline type is the dress
with a many fiounced or ruffled skirt,
This last with wreaths of tiny roses
{ woven among the ru ?ffles and possibly
carelessly catching one up is most
fascinating style for an evening frock,
especially for the girl OF iith and
slender lines

waistline, except for two short points
below, Is very smart when worn with
the full skirt. The illustration is a
model which shows an idea Of an
American designer. The yoke and
front panel of. the skirt are in one,
while the fulnessis is placed at the
side in wide side pleats, thus giving
the smart outline of the winter, a fiat
ness front and back and a flaring at
the sides.
Fur is used extensively as trimming
on the winter froks. 1t is put around
the bottoms of tunics and skirts, at the
lower edge of cuffs and around the
necks of suits, dresses and separate
coats Fur is soft, but scarcely be-
coming to the average face and re-
quires something to give bit of color
so the artificial flower was placed, usu-
ally at the neck, and 10! it made the
fur vastly becoming.
The flower, whether artificial or nat
ural, is a most important accessory of
a woman's toilette this season. The
corsage bouquets of viOlets are al
ways good, but the very smart and
newest thing in the way OF natural
flowers is to have them made into a
tiny stiff bouquet, like those pictured
in the days of our grandmothers.
Stiffiy packed together, raising in the
center and surrounded by a stiff frill
of paper lace.
In the artificial flowers this same
thing is carried out, only the leaves
are used to stimulate the frill of lace.
One charming bouquet had three
frosty pink leaves placed together in
such a way as to form triangle. In
the center of this triangle was stiff
little bunch of berries of a deeper pink
than the leaves. Another flower
which is having great popularity is
the water lily in white and pink with
large yellow center. These are
shown with long stems which are
often looped up gracefully underneath
the flower.
A combination of small fruits and
| their blossoms is very attractive
against the dark coat or frock.
A one-piece frock which serves for
an illustration has surplice closing
waist with the new close-fiitting
sleeves and the fashionable yoke tu-
mic. The lower section of the tunic
is side-pleated and falls over the closer
fitting lower skirt section. A NEW
wide hat which it a late example of
some of the later winter styles is worn
with this dress. A wide velvet sailor,
it flares up at one side and is trimmed
with a single large red rose.

BUTTONS AND BRAID.
NEW YORK Dec 10 191

NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 1914.
A gown may be charming, but If the
trimming is not of the proper kind or
is not properly applied, it is spoiled.
This season buttons play a most i'm
poTtant part in the ornamentation of
dresses and suits. They may be cloth
covered, crocheted, braid-covered or
fbone The bone buttons are, per.
haps, the newest and smartest. They
are generally plain and round with
visible holes. Buttons are used on
the underside of a sleeve, quite close
together from wrist to elbow and down
the front of a waist giving a very
military effect.

VALUABLE DEEDS
DISCOVERED IN
OLD TRUNK
Odd Recovery May Settle Govern
ment Suit Involving One Thou
sand Acres in North Georgia.

Accidental finding of the contents
of an old trunk left in a warehouse
of Colonel john j. Woodside may
make clear the title Of Hal H. Bacon,
of Savannah, to 1000 acres Of North
Georgia land and decide the status of
ownership of vast area in that part
of the State
Seldom has coincidence played such
an important part in a case as in the
suit by Mr. Bacon against the United
States Government to gain wha ne
claims is his property, in progress
before Judge w T. Newman in the
Federal Building
Mr.. Bacon set forth a claim that
in the tract of $4,000 acres put aside
by the Government to protect the
source of certain sterams there was
something like 1000 to which ne held
a deed. That claim developed an
in terestlng history of State grant.
Deeds Date Back to 1347.
1t was that in 1847 the State of
M. B. Millen 5000 0acres. A good
part of that property finally came
into the possession of NJ. Bacon. In
the progress of the case. though, it
proved very difficult to prove some
of these titles and evidence was pre-
sented to show that a number OF them
had been destroyed in a fire in New
York.
About five years ago. Loring r. Mil
len placed an old trunk in the ware
house of Colonel John j. Woodside in
Atlanta. Soon after he disappeared,
and the trunk lay undisturoed until
last fall, when Colonel Woodside pre-
pared to sell 1t for storage along with
lot of other unclaimed goods.
Owner Died Last eYar.
He had traced the owner and found
that he had died last November. Be
fore autioning off the trunk, how
he found the boots and clothes ano
full outfit of a prospector. and in one
corner stuck together with beeswax
some interesting old Georgia land
grants. He did not sell 1t.
Colonel Woodside was on the jury
in the Federal Court Tuesday and
heard the discussion of the lost rec
ords 1t revived the memory OF the
strange old trunk.
ATTORNEY John X. Macdonald, Jr.. OF
the firm of Dorsey. Brewster, Howell!
and Heyman. was instructed by Judge
Newman to examine the contents. He
did, and found grants and records
that may prove very important.
The trunk and its contents will
be turned over to the family OF Lor-
ing Millen.
