Healdton oil, had succeeded in find

Domestic Menace.

On matters of feminine dress we sci.

less 1t be occasionally word in de-
tense of that liberalism which permits
woman to consider her freedom and
comfort as well as her appearance.
But we are prompted now to utter
protest against the progress of Amer
lean fashion designers, who, with a
free field for the first time in history,
can think Of nothing better than 60
mimic the military uniforms of Eu-
rope.
Is it not enough that we should have
the horrors of the war thrust upon us
by the news, filling our imaginations,
coloring our dreams? Is it not enough
that there should be signs of military
epidemic in all our magazines, articles
on strategy, stories of fighting and
bloodshed? Must we have the world 8
nightmare intensified by the very
clothes the women wear? - Chicago

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr. Rhodes
was shat up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed II people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town, 1t was a regular modern ri1ed
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
ON each of which was stamped,
with compliments of G. J, Rhodes" :"
The Beers themselves were not with
out a sense Of humor. During Christ
mas, 1899, they we're besieging Lady
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with piece Of plum pudding inside,
and each bearing the words, with the
seasons compliments"
Two of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr. Rhodes, they were home
made. having been cast in foundry
at Johannesburg.

Eliminating Railroad Risks.

The division and shop safety COM
mittees of the New York Central lines
were organized in May, 1912. From
that time to and including June, 1914,
these committees considered 1922
safety items and 14,751 of them were
corrected. 1t is of particular interest
to note that 80 per cent of the items
were corrected in accordance with
the recommendation of the commit
tees.
"This," says Safety, "shows conclu-
sively that the policy of the manage
ment is to cooperate with the en-
ployees to the fullest extent possible
in the elimination of conditions which
might result in injury. The majority
of accidents that do occur can be
prevented if every employee will CO.
operate by stamping out the unsafe
practices which are still INDUCED in
by some and which are the cause Of
the greatest percentage of injuries re-
ceived by employees and Others"

a peppering rattle on the roofs of all

seemed to come from thousand split

whisky got mixed with the feathers
and spurted up in every direction, fall

Irate Bull Butts a Train.

A big Alderney bull in pasture
field owned by Charles Gonsar, a
farmer, near Snydertown, took offense
at the whistling of an express train
on the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road, which passes close by. Taurus
jumped a five-rail fence and plunged
headforemost against the side of a
car, and then fell close to the tracks
as though dead.
The train was stopped and the
crew went back only to see the anil
NAL rise and run back into its pasture.
The impact made a dent in the side
of the car as big as a dinner pail.

There was high revelry in Ia

There was high revelry in Ia
coma last night.
After the tension of the first
days auto races was over and
the big stores had closed their
doors for the two days rest, ey-
eryone in Tacoma gathered for
the annual Fourth of July prom
enade on Pacific avenue and c
street.
Slender spools of colored paper
tape spun a web of color about
the shoulders of the throng.
Sidewalks wer packed with hui
manity and streets we're jammed
with changing cars, honking au-
tos, and squawking motorcycles.
There was a little roughness
on the part of some of the young
men and girls. But nobody went
too far-at least, the police found
nothing to take exception to. To-
night the street festivities ar,s ek-
pected to fairly take the roof off
old Tacoma.

in a speedway race. Ordinarily
the winner of long-distance
race ts one or more laps ahead of
his nearest opponents.
Wilbur DeAlene, the Los An
geles youngster who drove his
first race yesterday, suffered the
only accident of the day. And al
though the accident put DeAlene
permanently out of the race, the
plucky driver miraculously es-
capped injury.
On his 73rd lap DeAlene's right
rear tire burst as he was round
ing the southeast curve. His car
turned over, rolled completely
around and came up against the
ditch, standing ON its wheels
again. DeAlene and his mechani-
clan, Neil Scanlon, were hurled
SO feet from the car, and Scanlon
was knocked unconscious by the
force of his fall. Emergency
nurses arrived Immediately and
revived the mechanic. He was
taken to Tacoma hospital,
where his injuries were found to
consist of bruises and cuts. De-
Alene escaped with hardly a
scratch.
Hughes won his first victory in
Tacoma yesterday. He has raced
here on both former occasions,
but had been forced to drop out
because of motor trouble. His lit
tie Maxwell coal-oil burner, ran
wonderfully yesterday, turning
out lap after lap without a hitch.
Teddy Tetzlaff, favorite of the
fans, suffered the same luck at
last year, when he was forced to
drop out of the race in the 18th
lap yesterday with broken con-
Meeting rod.
Hughes time for the 200 miles
was 2:41:32 2-5. Klein made the
same distance in 2:41:4S AS, and
Cooper's was 2:43:06 3-5.
Dingley's Ono came in for
fourth place, with Huckstell's
Mercer fifth.
With $500 in prizes as their
goal, 20 racers were ready at noon
today for the 250-mile grind of
the Montamarathon, the big race
of the Tacoma speedway. 1t was
expected that a monster crowd
would attend today's race.
Every car that was entered
with the exception of Smyly's
Hupmobile, was ready for the
contest. Wilbur DeAlene's Mer-
Ger, smashed by turning over yes
terday while running at a IA
mile speed, was repaired last
night and the pIucky young driver
was ready to go into the contest
today.
Among the drivers entered to-
day who did not appear in either
of yesterdays contests were
Thomas, in a Mercer, and Sorell
and Verbeck in Flats.
