buttons. In this case the throat is dis
tinguished by deep, outstanding frfll
of tulle set at the summit of an ex-
tremely high collar band. OF all the
proposed collar vogues, this is far and
away the most trying to wear. but the
woman who can do so successfully in
evitably secures a triumph.
One of the most attractive and smart
est blouses seen recently was composed
of tete de negre Georgette crepe and
charmeuse, the latter worked upon the
transparency in the form of a deep
corselet band with waved edge. This
strange, almost black nuance, took on
wonderful shadows in these two mate
rails, and was destined to be worn with a
tete de negre chiffon velvet skirt and
coat.

Pretty Neckwear.

Never before was there such a de-

simplicity of some models and could
not help thinking how much money
might be saved if the material were

inexpensive neckwear that is very
pretty; but alas! only until 1t has

confidence. 1t has been recently asked,
editorially. by one of the great
daily papers of this country:
OF what value will any advice
be to man whose mind IS made
up? Mr.. Wilson is open to no
argument. He has marked out his
path and declared his fixed inten
ton to follow it to the end, what
ever the result of the business of
the country.
Whatever the result to the bust
ness of the country" If that DE true
then this letter and the board and best
interests of both capital and labor be-
hind this letter can receive no consi-
deration at your hands. If that be
true then, as has been said, editorially,
by another great and independent
journal of this country. we stand face
to face with what can only mean that:
The prestige of our manufac-
turers attained by such a gallant
struggle is to be destroyed by
those who neither understand its
significance or realize its price

Mr.. Temperance Man,

MT temperance NAN,
DEAR SIR: you asked me to make a
careful survey of the West Virginia
territory in which travel and give you
an honest statement of what changes,
If any, in the amount of drunkenness
since the Yost law went into effect,
also to talk with the store managers of
the coal companies and other merchants
and give summary.of their statements
on the effect it has upon their trade.
My territory embraces thirteen
counties in West Virginia, eight of
which were without saloons with few
scattered speakeasies and bootleggers.
and five wet counties with more blind
tigers and speakeasies, than saloons.
1t seems queer, but it is a fact,
nevertheless. that there are always
more speakeasies, blind tigers and boot
leggers IN wet counties than in counties
which have no saloons.
The reason is that when you see
DRINKS in saloon towns you naturally
suppose they get the booze in the
saloons.
In the dry section the DRINKS arouse
the suspicious of the officers and they
get busy.
Twill begin with Clarksburg. Clarks-
burg with thirty-four or thirty-fve
saloons and thirty eight to forty speak
easies, was the wettest place for it's
size that | have ever seen in all my
travels. except the Atlantic ocean.
On Pike Street, between the Waldo
Hotel and the postoffice, were centred
the greatest part of the saloons and it
was always crowded with loafers and
DRINKS. Ladies, when possible, avoided
that block, especially in the evenings.
To-day every room formerly occupied
by saloons, are rented by merchants.
The loafers and DRINKS have disappear
ed and ladies can walk on this street
day or evening with absolute assurance
of not being insulted. The 'panhandler"
has also disappeared.
| spent the 18th of July in Clarksburg,
attended the big celebration. Was out
to the park and fair ground and much to
my surprise did not see one single
drunk.
One thing that struck me forcably
was that nearly every man out at the
fair ground and park had his wife and
children with him, and the expression
of happiness on the women's faces did

groundless.

There will probably be few fellow S
who think they are smooth enough to
work the game. (but not the bright
ones). 1t can't be done; they will
shurely be landed.
Now that the saloons are closed, the
saddest men in the state are the graft

saloon keepers leg any more.

Am ] Ny Brothers Keeper.

This question is taken from Holy Writ.
Many sermon has been preached from
it. 1t is pointed and personal ques-
ton. 1t is serious question. 1t Is a
question involving tremendous response
bility. Therefore it deserves our
most prayerful, earnest and careful
consideration.
By an act of the legislature of the
State of MARYLAND, the citizens of Gar
rett county have thrown upon them the
responsibility or the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and its awful results, after
April 80, 1915. Today the saloons are
open and liquors are sold by consent of
the State of MARYLAND, but after April
80. 1915, if it is sold in Garrett county,
1t will be because the people of Garrett
county want it sold. The State washes
its hands of the matter, and places the
responsibility upon the individual voter
of this county.
Do you, Mr.. Voter, realize the weight
of this responsibility? This is not a
question of politics. Politics has moth
ing to do with it. The question is, shall
the business of drunkard making con-
tlnue.: Shall the saloon continue its
ruinous business? 1t is for YOU to
say. In this respect YOU are your
brothers keeper, whether you want
to be or not.
The State has laid the responsibility
of settling this question upon you. Do
not lose sight of this fact What does
God require of you? Never before has
such a responsibility been placed upon
the citizens of Garrett county. What
ever WE say will be done There is no
lodging the issue. If liquor is sold in
Garrett county it will be because maj
jority of the citizens of the county want
it sold. The proposition is For or
Against, Not to vote is equal to a
vote for the sale of liquor.
The State of Maryland says, YOU
voters of Garrett county must decide
the question. The county can be DRY
if you want it so. You can end the
making of drunkards in your county if
you want to. You can shut out the
saloon and saloonism if you desire. 1t
is up to you, Mr.. Voter, you decide the
question, by your vote for or against
license.
Now what are you gong to do about
the matter? AS christian, as a moral
man, as loyal citizen dare you neglect
this solemn duty? 1t is within your
power to prohibit the sale, remove the
temptation and save your fellow man
from drunkard's life and drunkard's
grave. In removing the saloons
you may save your own boy from
ruin. By refusing to vote, by re-
fusing to do your full dIty in agitat-
ing the question you may be the means
of leading some one to do as you are
doing.
Be true christian, be real man, do
as you would have others do to and for
