 Department officials feel that General Carranzas declaration marks a change in his first uncompromising attitude, and that when he reaches Chihuahua he will be ready to concede to the United States the right to look after foreign interests in the country controlled by the constitu- tionalisists without the limitations inn posed in today's declaration of policy. Follow Old Practices
 For the next fortnight, at least the old practices will be followed and the state department will continue to protest any maltreatment of foreigners or injury to their properties; while on the other hand Carranza or his agents, without accept l ing these protests or representations IS official, will note them as matters of in- formation on which cases will be investf- gated as if they had been reported oy !

CR0XT0N QUARTET
 CONCERT ENJOYABLE
Each of Singers Well Known Here-Ensemble Sing
 ing Excellent

The Croxton quartet gave a concert at Cable hall last night that will be long remembered as thoroughly artistic
 and enjoyable. Each member of the quartet-Ma- dame Marie Stapleton- Murray, so- prano; Madame Nevada Van der Veer (Mrs. Reed Miller), contralto; Reed
 Miller, tenor, and Frank Croxton, bass had been heard here before. Reed Miller and Mrs. Stapleton- Murray lived
 here not so many years ago and sang in church choirs. And since becoming real artists and attaining national rep
 utation each has appeared here several times. Mir. Croxton was last here with Victor Herbert and his orchestra and I the nigh opinion which music lovers
 had of him then was confirmed and strengthened at Cable hall. | He is splendid basso, indeed, and on this occasion his artistry was more l fully revealed than ever. :" The audience that greeted the quar- tet was large and discriminating.

 Prohibition Chief Issue

SuiCl 1SouC
 Nashville, March 14.--Efforts to unite the two factions of the democratic party in Tennessee commenced during the last campaign for the nomination of a demo- cratic presidential candidate. One state committee was formed to succeed the state committees of the so-called inde- pendent democrats. and the so-called reg ular democrats All of the independents, however. did not sanction the harmony movement and another state committee, representing the independents. was formed later.
 The temperance issue has been the chief one between the two factions, al- though there have been other con- tributing causes The independents have stood for statewide prohibition.
 The last state legislature passed SUD- plementary prohibition laws to the state- wide prohibition law and many drinking places, which were alleged to operate in violation of the state law, have since closed Some of the leaders in both fac tions, assert that the question is now settled and that the party factions should unite.

SPRAYER is HANDY
FARM IMPLEMENT
Tool May Be Used on Flowers,
Vegetables and Small Fruits
of Gardens-Pays Its Way.
By H. H. SHEPARD

If you do not have a hand sprayer,
purchase one right away. There are
many good ones in the market, rang
ing in price from so cents to SIS, &C
cording to size and construction.
For the flowers, vegetables and
small fruits of the garden, small
cheap sprayer, having for the liquid
holder a common quart mason jar.
We advise it's use where there is only
small amount of spraying to be done.
The vessel being of glass, you can tell
how much of the spraying mixture
you are using. 1t is easily detached
for reflling, the liquids will not cor
rode, it is light, easy to handle-in
fact, unique in every respect.
For 81 or SIS you can purchase q
large sprayer, suitable for garden and
fruit trees, and for embarrassing, or a
small one for 81.
With it one can whItewash a large
hen house and outside in half an hour
A neighbor borrowed it and sprayed
his ten-acre young apple orchard with
It. Of course such a small one is not
sufficient for mature trees
There are two classes of trouble
some insects. The one eats the leaves
and the other sucks the juices from
the plants For eradication, each
class must be treated separately.
If you find the leaves eaten on your
plants, you can make up your mind
that the first class is at work If you
discover insects but no leaves eaten,
and the plants whitening, sucking in
sActs are probably doing the mischief.
For eating insects, spray with paris
green or some other arsenical poison.
If sucking insects are at work, spray
with soap and kerosene.
The kerosene-soap emulsion blisters
their bodies and stops up their breath
ing pores, hence death results from
external injury.
Whale oil soap is also used for kill
Ing sucking insects 1t is good plan
to use it on rose bushes in May If you
find your bushes infested
All kinds of insect powder and
dusts kill by stopping the breathing
pores of insects, except where the
powder is a poison and is applied in
the evening to be dissolved by the dew
overnight.
A sucking insect inserts its mouth
parts deep into the body Of the plant
for juices, hence it is not affected by
internal poisons.

DOUBLE LIFE OF VEIL
METHODS OF PRESERVING FRAG-
LIE ACCESSORY.
Careful Handling to Remove Wrinkles
is One of the First Requisites
May Be Washed If Due
Care Is Taken.

The life of a veil depends entirely
upon the way it is manipulated when
not IN action. Few of us ever give
our wells hard enough wear when
they are actually in service to wear
them out, but sometimes the careless
handling of a day or so will ruin
veil that would last for weeks if prop
erly treated. Here is good practice
for the preservation of wells that an
economical Englishwoman has ex-
planned to her American friends.
Whenever you take off a veil, roll It,
Now take the bottom of the veil in
your right fingers and the top in your
left fingers and give it a gentle pull
to stretch any wrinkles, and after
that do what you please with it. You
may fold it over and put it in your
handbag If you choose, or in crowd
ed bureau drawer or in a travelling
bag. But when you come to use the
veil next time you will find that it is
in good shape. Ideally speaking, a
wooden veil roll is a splendid instru-
ment for the safe keeping of wells, but
who takes the trouble to put the veil
on roll? And, of course, it is the
once you don't take care Of the veil
that does the damage.
Never leave a veil on hat-that is,
If you want to wear it a second time.
Of course, no woman likes to make q
show of preserving the life of wells by
spreading hers out every time she
chances to remove it. Yet with lit
tie dexterity she can roll it up as the
economical little Englishwoman does,
in flash, and the life of the veil will
have been doubled.
Did you ever try to wash a veil?
Probably not, yet 1t is not a difficult
process if the veil is white, and with
care a colored veil can sometimes be
put through soap and water. Always
use suds of pure white soap and
warm, not hot, water, and don't leave
the veil in the water for more than a
minute. Rinse the veil in clear water
after it has been in the soapy water,
and allow it to dry by pinning it out
at the edges on counterpane Chiffon
wells will lend themselves surprisingly
well to a cleansing process, and the
woman who wears them for motoring
or for seashore promenades will real
lie a decided saving if she knows the
knack of washing them

TO PROTECT DAINTY FROCK
One-Piece Pinafore Almost an Essen
tiaI in the Wardrobe of the
Small Girl.

A most useful addition to the child's
wardrobe is the One-piece pinafore,
which, made to cover a dainty frock,
can be slipped on and off at a mo-
ment's notice, thereby solving the
problem of keeping the child pre-
sentable during play-time, and also
helping to curtail the weekly laundry
bill 1t should be made in galatea,
brown holland, linen or any washing
material that resists hard water. The
pinafore is slipped over the head, and
the making of it up offers no difficult
ties whatever, for the piece of straight
material is just doubled Ito the length
of pinafore required), and then shaped
at the neck and shoulders. 1t is fas-
tened at the side with tapes, but little
straps of the material fastened on one
edge and buttoned on to the other can
be used instead.
Pockets, of course, should be added
to the apron, for children delight in
these, and small designs, such as fig
ures, animals, flowers trees, ETC.,
may be worked on them. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that all mate
rails employed in these trimmings
should be of a washable and durable
quality.

NEW AND STRIKING COLORS
Offered for Many Seasons Are
Now Available.

The new silver green is a lovely tint
1t exactly resembles the color of a
breaker just before it topples over
below its crown of foam. and is par
ncularly effective in velvet and silk
cashmere, brooches and soft silks. In
satin its white lights are rather strong.
1t is the prettiest shade of green that
has been seen for many years, and
will undoubtedly be popular.
Another new color that has caught
on is called COG de roche" and is
deeper and warmer than buff and has
an affinity with tango tint. But the
union of black and white is the most
noticeable of the moment, and Scotch
tartan is in great demand among the
fashionable dressmakers 1t is used
for panniers and for frills, edging
panniers Of other material, also for
the sash in some of it's novel forms,
such as extending into a train, catch
ing the folds of draped skirts, form
ing an immense bow some inches be-
low the waist at the back, occasionally
even in front, with ends falling below
the knees. One may see before long
whole gowns composed of sash and
stole, and nothing more.

BIRD SHELTERS AND BATHS

In addition to building a number Of
the bird houses which were described
upon this page several weeks ago, and
placing them in your garden or in
trees nearby your home, it is a good
plan to put up one or two shelters such
as are shown in the drawings below,
also to provide one or two pans Of wa
ter for bird baths. Once the birds
have discovered these, the yard will
become popular abiding place, and
a refuge in time of storms, and your
bird houses will quickly be tenanted.
Figure / shows a practical form of
bird shelter that is easily built. 1t
may be constructed upon the top of a
clothespost, or post may be put up
especially for the purpose.
A cheese-box cover forms the roof
Of this shelter, and you can get one
Of these for the asking at your gro
Gerry.
ANY thin sticks of a length equal to
the diameter of the cheese-box cover
will do for the shelter perches. There
are four pairs of these perches, and
they should be nailed at their centers
to opposite sides of the post support in
the manner shown in the illustration.
Figure 2 shows a shelter and bath
