OFTEN a dainty bit of
~ handwork will give an
otherwise simple frock an air
of individuality, and set it
apart from commonplace
clothing. Hand embroidery
costs practically nothing,
when done at. home, except
the expenditure of time, yet
is always the mark of an ex-
elusive gown. A little girls
frock of such inexpensive ma
terial as chambray, cotton
poplin, cotton ratine or al
batross, may be made in the
plainest way, but if it is fin
ished with a dainty collar of
batiste or linen. embroidered
with a design like that of the
set shown, it will have a dis
tinctive air. This collar is
also appropriate for an older
sisters dress of cotton crepe
or serge.
In planning Spring clothes
you will find that you can
save many a dollar by using
handwork for trimming. The
Embroidery Book, which il
Illustrates over five hundred
designs for embroideries of all
kinds, will suggest how to
make smart, inexpensive dec
orations for dresses. waists
and children's clothes. The

Democratic Caucus Expected Soon to

Washington, Aug. 27.-Presideut
Wilson let it be known today that
there would be no insistence upon
passage at this session of the bill au-

1t is probable that a democratic
caucus soon will be he'd to revise the
legislative program. With railroad
securities legislation eliminated it is
predicted that conferees on the trust
legislation could complete their work
in two weeks and that further war
emergency legislation could be dis
posed of in a month.
BY October / the necessary bust
ness of congress could be concluded.
Whether there would be an adjourn
ment then leaders agree would de-
pend upon conditions resultant from
the European conflict
Administration senators entrusted
with the Clayton bill were accused to
day OF emasculating the measure and
causing great rejoicing among trust
magnates. Senator Clapp declared
that when trust barons viewed the
process they would think the measure
had been treated in a Sunday school
conference instead of legislative
body"
The attack followed adoption of
amendments striking out provisions
for jail sentences for violators of pro
hibitions against holding companies
and purchase of supplies by railroads
from corporations with common direc-
tors or officers.
Members of the judiciary commit
tee explained that the prohibitions Of
these sections were indefinite. They
urged that under another section per
sonai guilt was fastened upon officers
OF a corporation violating the law.
Senator Clapp declared the effec-
tive language of the house had been

Fruit Men Are Given a Warning

Local orchard men have been
warned to beware of a set of fellows
who are working in the Cumberland
Valley selling cheap powder at a
large profit, which is to be inserted
in a hole or an orifice in tree for
the purpose of vaccinating against
scale and other pests. Word has
been received here that large number
of farmers of Pennsylvania and
Maryland counties have been victi-
mized, and that the schemers are still
on the job.
Prof. h. A. Surface, o. Harrisburg,
who is at the head of the Pennsyl-
vania agricultural department also
has issued warning against these
men. he states that they are frauds
ana that the preparation they sell is
not only worthless but really harmful
to the trees.

Now Paint

Strike when the iron is hot and
paint when the property needs it.
They paint ships a dozen times a
year; yes, some of them, every voyage.
What for, do YOU think? To look nice
and get business.
A livery keeps its carriage painted
and vanished and washed, to look
nice and get business.
A man, with house for sale or to
let, ''does it up" and Devoe is the
paint.
There's more in paint than to keep
out water. Paint for looks and you
needn't think about water. A fresh
coat of paint once year is about as
good for his credit as paying his
debts. But the man whose buildings
and fences look new, very likely, has
no debts. DEVOE.
