Gives Bond and Lease.

Douglas, Ariz.-Upon reliable infor-
nation it is learned that the North
Tiger mine has been bonded and
leased by eastern capitalists, the
same being owned by Dick Powers.
This property is considered by those
familiar with it as being a second El
Tigre, having many of the character
istics Of that now rich and famous
gold property. The bond, it is under
stood, has been given for a period of
five years, and also contains a stipula-
ton that the bondholders shall erect
in the near future a 20-stamp mill.

M IGHT DRESSES designed for sum-
IN mer are made of the Hghtest and
sheerest of batiste or nainsook or
cross-barred muslins, linen and cotton
lawns, and also of wash silks and
crepe de chine The latter and linen
lawns seem to be in highest favor at
this season
For decoration, well-made French
or German val laces, cluny and shadow
laces hold sway, with hand embroid-
cry always the most elegant of all.
If fine hand embroidery is to be used,
linen lawn crepe de chine, or very fine
batiste will make the work worth
While. Hand embroidery in simple de-
sign and neatly done is the most de-
sirable Of all decorations for lingerie.
Durable laces in narrow insertions and
dainty edges are quite often used with
1t. But the majority of hand-embroid
cred garments have no further deco
ration than flower sprays of embroid-
cry and all edges finished with but
tonholed scallops.
A gown of batiste is shown in the
picture cut in the simplest manner
possible A plain kimono pattern does
away with armholes or separate
sleeves. The round neck and short
sleeves are finished with buttonholed
scallops, and these are placed, in
stead of hem, about the bottom A
flower spray appears on each sleeve
and in the front of the garment.
Made with much less work and very
pretty is the gown shown in the sec
ond picture The yoke and sleeves. in
one piece, are made of German val

REQUESTS AID FOR WOUNDED.
Preside Mt Wilson Asks Funds for Red
Cross Nurses in European War.

Washington.-Pres Wilson, as
head of the American Red Cross, ap-
pealed to the American people to
contribute money for the relief of sick
and wounded soldiers of the warning
European nations. The appeal was:
ITO the people of the United
States: The present wars in Europe
are certain to impose on the Red
Cross of the nations engaged a bur-
den which demands the sympathy and
aid of the world.
"The American Red Cross is ear
nestly desirous Of assisting it's sister
societies in their endeavors to allevi-
ate distress and suffering among the
combatants, and therefore appeals for
funds to be expended impartially for
the relief of the sick and wounded
soldiers Of the nations at war.
Contributions for this purpose may
be sent to the American Red Cross,
Washington, D. c., or to local treas,
urers of the society in other cities. l
confidently hope that the humanity
and liberality Of the people Of the
United States, so often manifested in
the past, will cause them to respond

the voile also. The underpetticoat of
fine mousseline or organdie is finished
at the bottom with a wide border of
embroidered net. This same net
makes the neckpiece, which consists
of fichu and flaring collar in one.
Any pattern in a lace Of bold design
may be substituted for the embroid-
cred net with equally good effect.
Handmade laces of linen braid are
especially appropriate If the costume
is intended for summer wear only.
This gown, made up as pictured here,
might easily be serviceable at other
seasons of the year, as voile and en-
broidered net are fabrics used all the
year round.
1t is worth noticing that the tun1c
is quite full, but the fullness is not
increased by the addition of a ruftie at
the bottom. This ruff1e is of exactly
the same width as the body of the
tunic above it. 1t is finished with
narrow plating of fine lace at the
bottom and a similar plating joins it
to the tunic skirt.
The parasol, OF embroidered tafeta,
is edged with ruffie of chiffon and
completes an exquisite and refined in
depreciation of this summers modes.
There is no trace of any of the
freakish elements in the punching and
draping of materials about the figure.
All the lines are uninterrupted and
therefore graceful.
The Winslow mail., 1914-08-29

The shaping is managed by basting al
ternating rows of narrow and wide
insertion to light paper pattern. The
lace is brought to a "V" shape in the
back. The shoulders are fitted with
narrow seams. The insertings are
whipped together.
The lower edge of the yoke Is
stitched to a beading embroidery about
an inch in width, to which the body
of the gown is set on. The sleeve por-
ton and bottom Of the gown are fin
ished with a wide edging, and the
neck with a narrow one of corre-
spending pattern. Ribbon run through
the beading adjusts this pretty en-
pire pattern to the figure.
In nightgowns and in other lingerie
of the best designs the makers steer
clear of much elaboration. Ribbons
form a highly important decorative
feature, and special designs in bows
and rosettes are made to be adjusted
when required.

RISE IN FOOD PRICES
Ordered Probed by President in Let
ter to Attorney General.

ter to Attorney General.
ington.-President Wilson per-
sorally by letter, called the attention
of the attorney general to the general
and apparently abnormal initiation Of
food prices and asked the Department
of Justice to conduct an investigation
to ascertain corrective measures and
whether there is conspiracy. The
Presidents letter was as follows:
The rapid and unwarranted in
crease in the prices of foodstuff in
this country upon the preteXt of the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital a matter that l take
the liberty of calling your attention
to it.
Il would be very much obliged II
you would advise me if there is under
the existing law any action which the
Department of Justice could take
either by way Of investigation or le-
gal process and what federal legisla-
tion, if any, would, in your Judgment,
be iustifiable and Warrantable in the
circumstances.
'I feel that this is matter that
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended, if pos
sible. against men who would take
advantage of such circumstances to
increase the price Of food and the diff
ficulties of living"

THE last word in thin summer toi-
i lettes, designed for the hot days of
August, comes in the form of this
combination of transparent materials
and embroidered net or heavy linen
with lace. Every detail of this cos
tune may be carefully considered,
from the transparent wtde-brimmed
hat of shirred maline, through the
elaborate neckpiece of embroidered
net, the wide velvet girdle, the very
full tunic and the close-hanging under
skirt, bordered with embroidered net,
not omitting the pumps of dull kid
with their snowy buckles. These fea-
lures embody the last evolution of the
summers modes, and indicate what
we may expect for the coming fall.
The costume shows a fine eye for
selection rather than desire to be
original There are several new
touches in the minor details, such as
the new form of side comb in the
hair, the very broad girdle of velvet
ribbon, and its adjustments about the
hips in the oriental fashion. The long
sleeves of voile indicate the liking for
long sleeves in thin fabrics which are
to be seen repeatedly in gowns of
heavier materials.
This gown is made of sheer, fine
voile embroidered in disks on the
lower half of the sleeves and about the
bottom of the tunic. The bodice,
which is bloused only little, is of

Vivid Shades for Girls.

Bright colors in linen, crepe and cot
tons are much worn by children be-
yond the baby age of white. These
are usually worn with black belts or
girdIes, and are relieved by collars
or guimpes Of fine white embroidery.
The linens are too heavy for gath
ers, but in sheer fabrics shirrings,
plaitings and gathered rufaes are
usual.
Such colors as terra Gotta, grass
green and vivid yellows are worn by
young girls Of all ages.

Physical Standards.

The Army, Navy and Marine Corps
standard of physical manhood is one to
which comparatively few Americans
measure up. This fact should turn peo-
pies minds to the question of good and
wholesome living. which means clean liv-
ing clean eating and plenty of clean
exercise. Because of the martial uproar
recruiting offices of the army and navy
have been besieged by applicants for en-
listment. 1t is reported that at re-
cruiting office in New York city one day
last week 200 applicants were given phys
ical examination and of these only twen-
ty-fve were enlisted. There are two
ways of considering this condition. One
is that the military physical standard is
very high and the other that the gen.
eral physical average is very low. The
truth lies between these extremes How
ever. there Is in it a hint that boys
should take such care of themselves that
they shall grow up into sound and strong
men, and that men should take such
care of themselves as to preserve their
strength and vigor.

The Volunteer Army Bill.

Admiral Mayo.

The Army and Navy forever,
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue!
Some criticism is being passed on Ad-
miral Mayo. Why did he pick up that
little thing at Tampico? Why not have
ignored it. Or, noticing it. why have
pressed matters to the point he did?
why a formal salute to the flag? Why
was not the excuse offered ps tne MeAi-
can officer sufficient?
Here is the same spirit which nared up
at the time of our trouble in the Phillp-
mines. Admiral Dewey was lectured Tor
not sailing away as soon as he had de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet. Gen. smith,
who was ashore dealing with savases on
the warpath. was contemptuously nick
named ..HelI-roarin' Jake" because ne
was fighting the devil with fire.
All that objurgation looks very petty
and mean today. Admiral Dewey's record
a, Manila partakes of seamanry, states
manship and diplomacy, and the blend is
inspiring. He did the right thing, at the
right time. in the right way
As for Gen. Smith. his task. though less
conspicuous was of the hardest. The
field of action was difficult, the foe had
no code of civilized procedure, and 1t was
imperative to do things swiftly and sure
". War in such circumstances was nee
essarily hell. red hot. and he made 1t SO.
He did not receive just treatment here at
home. But he rendered good service to
~. country at a time when she sorely
needed it.
Admiral MAYO is a trained sailor. and
knows his trade. He did not order him-
self to Tampico. He was not seeking an
opportunity to fire his guns. His orders
had come through the proper channels
and he was executing them in the proper
way and in a pacific spirit
Suddenly a thing happened which called
for firm attention. and he gave it the at
tention and the Interpretation Of his pro-
fession. He knew what was proper, and
he demanded no more Of the Offenders
And after demanding it he insisted on MS
demand.
The President supported the admiral.
How could he have done less? what
would the effect have been II he had re-
buked the admiral and practically forced
him to apologize to the Mexicans?
The Mexicans are not savages. and our
relations to that country are not as were
our relations to the Philippines But
some rough work is ahead Of US. and we
are sending trained and competent men
to do It. Let them be supported in "un-
rrudxinR measure" Let them have the
benefit of every doubt They know tneir
business-both sailors and soidiers-tney
are none the less citizens because In uni
form. and they have the honor and well
fare Of this country as much to heart as
those whose work is here at home. where
no danger threatens and no complica-
tions distract.

Loan Shark Legislation j..

The House District committee in It's
action on the pending loan shark bill IN
creasing the interest rate payable on
unsecured or Unsecured loans has taken
a broad and sane view Of the situation
The present loan shark law being found
Ineffective in that il has made Impossible
the legal conduct OF the business OF max
ing unsecured loans to small BORROWERS,
the District Commissioners. on the advice
and recommendation of the citizens loan
committee urged that the law be amend
"a. that the rate OF interest be raised from
one TO one and one-haf per cent per
month. The original bill designed to
regulate loan sharking in the District OF
columbia was amended out Of shape by
Congress and resulted in a situation
which was deemed undesirable by the adj
vccates OF the reform. That bill COM
pretended an interest rate Of per cent
per month. The proposed amendment TO
the law as submitted by the District
Commissioners urged an interest rate OF
ONE and one-half per cent, this being a
compromise between the present rate ana
the rate which was at first recommended
by the citizens loan committee. After
exhaustive hearings on the subject the ma
iority Of the District committee voted TO SO
amend the law that the interest rate
will be per cent per month. 1t was

ton favoring the 2 per cent rate The
committee has acted wisely. The ciu-

people in temporary distress, but to aid
tbese people by regulating the loan COM
y,anies and putting an end to the high
handed extortion of usurers who have

for present needs and that it Will COST
no more to maintain the fleet in Mexican
waters than in those Of the United
States. Half a million dollars for the
relief of American refugees were appro-
priated in a few minutes without dis
cussion. It was a trifle expended in the
national cause.
The statement has been accredited to
one Of the large New York banks that
the banks of that city stand ready 10
take a one-hundred- -million-dollar issue
OF one-year so treasury certificates
should the government decide to finance
the expenses of the Mexican campaign
in that way. Whether the government
should finance the war by short-term
certificates or long-term bonds is OF no
consequence. The money. without stint
and to a limit which would confound
and stagger any other nation, would be
promptly available In the Treasury,
according to a late report, is working
balance of $50 600, co., and of the bonds
authorized for the construction OF the
Panama canal there remain $24O,OOO,OOO

The revenue measures under which the
war with Spain was financed could be

On the subject Of Congress. Speaker

''The sooner the session ends the bet
ter Off we'll be-"
Undoubtedly they are tired lot on
Capitol Hill. Legislative : work has
been in progress for year without
interruption. Spring, summer, autumn
and winter have found the solons hard
at their tasks. Here is spring again.
and a warm summer may follow. NO
wonder that even Mr.. Clark, who never
shirks. sighs for rest.
1t is to be remembered, too, that all
the work performed has been OF the
highest Importance. and therefore has
taxed the workers not only physically
hut intellectually. The tariff while in
hand demanded close application. The
currency followed, and was quite as
exactins. Then, without an inter-
reKnum, began the regular session. and
with it the routine questions full of
dificulties and provoking divisions.
May is nearly here, and the table OF
Congress is piled high with measures
All of them cannot be handled unless
the session runs into the autumn. and
maybe through that season. Shall the
table be cleared before adjournment. or
shall some of the mea sures go over
until next winter?
The appropriation bills have the right
of way. and must be passed. Uncle
Sam wants. and should have. his

But there is the trust question. the
question of rural credits, the Philip
t~in
full of meat and promising extended
debate Not one of them should be
hurried through. Not one shows full
agreement today in the party in power.
The subject of rural credits is prac-
tically new. But little discussion of it,
either in the press or on the stump.
has been heard. Trusts and the Philip
pines are old topics, and yet the demo-
cratic party is today divided about
what course should be taken.
| The business world. it is known,
would welcome a postponement Of the
trust question. 1t has been under such
a strain during the excitement attend
ing the tariff and the currency re-
visions that it is affiicted with a very
tired feeling. And as the currency re-
vision has not yet been put into opera
ton, anxiety on that score continues.
Business is extremely nervous and de-
pressed. and a rural credits law unless
very carefully drawn and thoroughly
discussed, would almost certainly add
to the prevailing disquietude.
But it will be no easy thing for Con-
gress to make choice among the meas
ures waiting. Complaint will follow no
matter what is done, and very i'm
portant contest will be decided in No
lvember.
