WILLIAMS FILES
 BOND OF S5l5,000 Thirty five Substantial Citi- zens of County Sign as
 the Sureties.
LARGEST EVER MADE
Law Fixes Sum cn Basis of Total Amount of Taxes Collected Preced- ing Year, Plus ::5 per Cent-BrCw-
 str Collected $4l2,OOO.

{.
 R. H.. Williams, sheriff and ex-ef- ficio tax collector of Jefferson county yesterday filed bond as collector for s515,O0O with thirty-five of the mos} county as sureties. County Judge N M. Philpot immediately approved the bond, which had already been in spectsd and favorably commented up on by Circuit Judge A. B. Grace. With the filing of his bond, Mir Will Hams gave surety in the sum ot $525 1000, to faithfully perform the duties devolving upon his office. Sev- eral weeks ago he filed bond for $10,- 900 required from the sheriff.
 The bond of $515.Cl0 filed yester- day is the largest ever required of or made by an official of Jefferson coun- ty, and is far in excess of the bonds required from the great majority of officials in the nation.
 The bond of the tax collector Is fixed by law, which requires that of ficiaI to furnish surety in a sum equal to the total amount of taxes collected the preceding year. Last year, Sheriff and Tax Collector Edgar Brewster collected taxes amounting to $412,000.
 That Sheriff Williams encounter ed no difficulty in furnishing this enormous bond is interpreted by his friends as the best evidence of tn } confidence reposed in him by tho large taxpayers of the county he is serving.

OLD FLAGS AT ANNAPOLIS

There are only few "Old Glories"
In the Annapolis collection of 173 bis
toric flags, but each is connected with
some incident that gives 1t the honor
of its present position. There Is the
81 starred flag that flew as an en-
sign beside the sunrise flag of Japan
when the close-shut doors of that is
land kingdom we're pried open for
American commerce. The old flag that
Lieut.. Charles Haywood defended SO
gallantly in 1847 at San Jose, Lower
California, is there to recall the story
Of how he and his tiny garrison held
an old mission house for over three
months against an overwhelming Mex
lean force. Here too are a few re-
minders of history's saddest war, our
own Civil war. Side by side in the
one case are draped the ensign of the
Union man-of-war Kearsarge and the
stars and bars Of the ensign of the
Confederate cruiser Albemarle. The
emost recent addition to the collection
is the ensign of the battleship Maine,
which was recovered Ia years after
the catastrophe in Havana harbor.

MOST VALUABLE OF TREES

What is probably the most valuable
cate, also popularity called the Ganter
avocado and alligator pear tree, was
planted at Whittier. Cal, in 1905, by
A. r. Rideout 1t bore fruit at four
years of age. When five years old 1t
produced crop OF 1900 pears. Dur
ing the year 1912, seven years after
planting. the Ganter tree bore over
5000 pears which sold at from IS to
SO dozen, totaling In all. $1,000.
Budding wood from the tree, sold at
ten cents a bud, the same year,
brought $1,706. 30 the total revenue
Of the tree for the year amounted to
the phenomenal sum of $3,206.
The Ganter tree was named after A.
M. Ganter, who once owned the ranch
on which the tree Is planted. It 10 a

some unsolicited seed brought, pre-

grew from the same planting are con-

planted at the same time as the "a
nous Ganter, has grown to the saSle
height as the Ganter (about 40 feee),

many cases the Seeding stock to
which 1t was budded, was frozen to

Ganter pears average in weight
from eight to twelve ounces. They
are about the size of small canta-
loupes. They will keep from ten to
twelve days after picking. which will
allow ample time for transit across
the continent and marketing. Ship
ments have been made from Whittier
to New York and Pennsylvania with
satisfactory results. There is one
seed in each pear about the size OF a
walnut. The rest of the fruit is edi-

At recent meeting of the British
Geological society there was exhibited
a living example of remarkable n.y.
brid between black-winged peacock
and domestic hen (cross-bred game
and Leghorn), which had been bred
by r. p Wheadon of minister, Som
erset, in 1911. The hybrid, large.
clumsily built bird. evidently a male
by it's spurs, attracted considerable at
tention on account of it's strange APP
pearance and its rarity, being only the
second example of its kind known. 1t
is mostly white, irregularly marked,
especially on the neck, With reddish
brown, color derived from it's moth
er, and clearly shows the characters
of both parents. On its crown is a
short tuft of feathers, and on either
side at the base of the upper man.
dible there is small waffle, while the
middle tail feathers are long and
curved, as in male fowl.

Gertrude Hypatia Inez Jane Kate

form of parental wit occur in the en-
tries for the past few years. Noah's

selves clean with subterfuge.
There was for a long time curios-
ity In nomenclature on the Australian
pension list. His name was Through
observation-disclosures enter the King
dom-of-Heaven Smith" But the off,
Gals of the Pension department very
pardonably abbreviated him into
"Tribby Smith"
1t is not surprising that the names
of Dickens characters-odd though
they are-should be found in real
life, for it was from life that many of
them were taken. Some, as we know
were copied from the names over shop
doors, etc, but this was not the nov
elists only source of selection. Among
his papers John Forster found careful
ly drawn up lists of names, with the
source from which he obtained them,
and the longest lists were those drawn
from the 'Privy Council Education
Lists" Some of the names thus not
ed are too extravagant for anything
but reality-Jolly Stick, Bill Marigold,

AREFUL attention to the finishing
details of the toilette is mark OF
distinctive dressing. This Is apparent
in the matter of neckwear, and new
ideas are advanced constantly by
manufacturers of this important &C
cessory of dress. A style is introduced
and makes good with the public, be.
coming fashion. It's manufacturers
then vary 1t to suit women of various
types and ages.
The sailor collar and fichu motifs
have predominated this season, and in
Vulnerable changes have been the re-
suit of their inspiration. But they
are designed for the attractive and
youthful neck and must be adapted to
those who do not possess a round,
plump throat.
A guimpe of perfectly plain, fine net,
with high, smoothly fitting collar, is
worn by the woman whose neck is not
slightly when bare. This net Is SO fine
and so we'll fitted that 1t Is as smooth
as the skin and smoother.
Besides the fchu and sailor collar
ideas there are many small fancy
bows, ribbon flowers and Maline orna-
ments for wearing as finish at the
neck. Jabots are always worn and
when they are not featured are re-
placed with frills finishing the "V"-
shaped opening at the neck of blouses.
They are especially becoming to slen-
der women, and the fine laces in style
at present make beautiful ones.
In designing neckwear those who
produce It must consider how to make
1t becoming. and women In selecting
it must consider whether IL Is suit
able or not for them. The jabot with

straight band made Of net finished at
the top with three tucks, shown In the
picture, Is suited to the woman with
a slim, long neck. Below the tucks
row of tiny jet beads or French
knots make pretty finish and lessen
the apparent width of the collar.
The jabot attached to the band is
of finest shadow lace and Stimulates
fichu ends. Black velvet ribbon out
lines an opening at the throat where
the fine net of the collar is let in
in small narrow "v." The jabot is
finished at the bottom with a little
velvet bow. Very small festoons of jet
beads fasten the upper ends of the
velvet to the neckband. They mark
the point of the W" and are placed
on the little bow.
Still more cleverly designed to the
needs of a too-slender neck is the
other collar and jabot. 1t is made of
lace and black satin. The band is a
straight piece of lace with the seal
loped edge folded down like a turn
over collar. The jabot Is of the same
lace cascaded to the front. Two
shaped pieces of satin are cut out
and lined with fine muslin or NULL
They are sewed to the collar and
upper part of the jabot and finished
with French knots ba blue silk.
The graceful sailor collar of lace
and the net collar with frill of lace at
the front are new patterns In these
popular neck pieces. The net collar
is double with insertion and edging in
fine Cluny pattern of inexpensive
lace. This collar is quite new In de-
sign and combines the advantages of
the fichu and jabot.

the narrower widths. In those yard
wide or more only twice the length of
the figure, plus half-yard, will be
needed. This extra half-yard is con-
sumed by hens and scant drapery in
the skirt.
II the design selected calls for an
overdress or extra drapery, more ma
terial will be required. Patterns des-
ignate the amount needed, but for a
simple dress the allowance given
above Is sufficient.
In the simple and attractive dress
shown in the picture taffeta a yard
wide was used, and four yards made
the garment. 1t is in sapphire blue
(shot with black, with high luster
which is very brilliant and effective.
The skirt is in two widths, shaped
at the sides to fit the hips. The back
breadth has a small cluster of gathers
at the middle of the belt to give the
