Handsomely
CoStumed
Characters

The Wizards electrical pageant
parade, the big attraction of the Wiz
ards Carnival in Salt Lake City,
August 1929, is described as a gor-
geous 500 character, $4,000 allegori
cal, historical and NEUROLOGICAL pic
ture spectacle. Poems, songs and
stories are the themes upon which
the parade has been built, and with
the flash and scintillation of thous-
ands of irridescent electric lights,
the sixteen magnificent multi-colored
floats of this colossal extravaganza
will present, in life and action, six
teen poems, songs. and stories which
have endeared themselves to the
American people, young and old
Thousands of dollars have been spent
and talented artists and decorators
have labored for months in the con
struction of this pageant. When 1t
is paraded with the handsomely cos
TUNED characters, TO the pare OF
bands through the cleared streets of
Salt Lake City, 1t will furnish Won
derful and never-to-be-forSotten
sight, startling the most vivid imag
nation and outdoing the most san
guine expectation. The automobile
floral parade will also be a beautiful
and brilliant affair, and the military
industrial, fraternal and civic parade
will be the longest and the most
varied exhibition of community In
terests ever paraded in the west. The
Wizards Roundup show will be the
magnet for those who seek heart
stopping thrills and, all in all, the
Wizards Carnival will truly be The
Playtime of the People.

scarcely be less than 5000, 900. 900,
all Of which would have to be drawn
from the resources of industry from
the worlds working capital. This
authority points out that the South
African war cost this country far
above 81 0O.OO0,000 and il a Euro
pean war cost only two and one half
times as much the total would be
$4,000, 100000 which is probably a
very conservative estimate.
The money publicly raised in Lon
don every twelve months is about ST.
000, 100000 so war on a $5,000,00O,-
600 scale would be draining the cap
ital market directly of five years sup
plies of the greatest money capital
In the world.
But when the direct cost OF the war
has been calculated and the bills paid
to the last cent the world would only
be beginning to realize the waste,
only touching the edge of the actual
loss. In every part of the world to
day capital is in a difficult and strain
ed position. The supply is not ade'
quate and the amounts already ex-
pended in industry are jeopardized
because further amounts are not at
hand to keep the works moving.

Something Like s55,ooo,o 900 Day is
Given as the Expenditure Nee
essary for Keeping Europ-

Field

Paris, Aug. What the cost
would be of war between four or
more first class European powers has
repeatedly been subject of calcula-
ton and estimate by European ex-
merits. When the matter was under
discussion at the outbreak Of the
Russo Japanese war in 1904, well
known French statistician, N. Jules
Roche, estimated that conflict in
yolving two or three large powers
with. say, 100000 men in all under
arms, would absorb $400,OOO,OOO in
the first two months. On the same
basis of operations the average cost
would be about $6,000,O00 day. But
n wsr in which France, Russia, Ger
manv and Austria were all engaged
would cause a total average eXpendl-
ture. for purely military purposes of
$4,000, 900 per day His calculation
NAV be thus summarized:
In January, 1871. the actual cost
per day to the French treasury, ac-
c-nrding to the Bureau-Lajanadie otit-
cial report, was 100000 francs Tor
So, 200 ,COo); this for 100000 men m

entire period Of the war was eNactiy

of forage and of keep of horses, when
are usually figured at the rate or say
81 a day for each horse, Nj. Noche
did not go. But even with the nS'
ures for the war of 1901 before
him. he admitted that it was no easy
matter to estimate war that might
happen in our times. He continued:
conditions generally have consid
erably changed within the last thirty
wears. and warfare is now far more
EXPENSIVE. To begin with. the mum
her of men under arms In France
on a declaration of war, would be far
greater than in 1870. France then
began by putting 100000 men into
the field; but in the next great wal
in which she may be engaged her mil
itary organization is such that within
forty.eight hours she can mobilize II
round figures, 100000 men and 6oQ,
600 horses and mules. The hss
troops to be called up would be the
thirteen classes of active and active
reserve troops. Each class numbers

Abandon Plan
of PrOteCt0rate
Treaty Signed Provides For Payment
Of 100000 for Perpetual
Canal Rights

Washington, Aug. 5.-Secretary
Bryan and General Chamorro, the
Nicaraguan minister today signed the
treaty to pay 100000 to the Cen
trail American republic for perpetual
interoceanic canal rights and naval
base in the gulf of Fonseca. 1t "a
framed along lines Mr.. Bryan has
outlined to the Senate foreign rela
tons committee and is taken to have
the approval of that body.
The idea of having this treaty virtu-
ally extend an American protectorate
over Nicaragua has been abandoned
as result of opposition In the Sen
ate, and Secretary Bryan now Is con-
fident the treaty will be promptly rat
flied. He issued. this statement to-
night:
The opposition to the treaty with
Nicaragua was based largely upon
what is known as the Platt amend
ment. Last year the Serate commit
tee indicated its willingness to report
treaty covering the right in Fonse
ca bay and Little and Big Corn Isl
ands. The two ideas in tie treaty
have been separated. The present
treaty only Includes the NICARAGUA
canal route, Fongeca bay and Little
and Big Corn islands. The Plat

HOW TO MAKE SMALL SEAMS
Method Of Dealing With Sheer Ma
terials That 10 Recommended
az Effective.

With sheer materials In vogue small
seams are imperative. and some peO-
pie have difficulty In making them.
Try this way:
Cut the material very smoothly and
evenly. Hold the edges together and
overcast them closely to the end. Turn
them over, crease down to make them
fiat, then sew in the regular French.
or double, seam fashion as close to
the edge as possible, thus producing
the smallest, neatest seam imaginable.
Always use fine thread and q 'ine
needle for the second scanning to OBJ
tain best results.
When any very soft sheer material
must be stitched on the machine, II 1t
is not properly adjusted for the pur-
pose, II Is likely to pucker and cause
no end OF annoyance. You will have
no dIfhculty II you will cut strips Of
thin manila wrapping paper or tissue
paper, put II under the material and
then proceed with the sewing.

But the linen il beautiful, and in any
household It might be used for spe-

cloths for every meal-damask-may

ly done by hand, or else they are hem
stitched In an inch-wide hem.
With the coming of warm weather
all-white frocks always assume an i'm
portance which they lose in the cold
weather. In warm weather nothing
else can really equal the all-white
frock for day or evening wear. Moth
ing else looks so cool and fresh and
inviting. The present fad for gay
girdles makes the all-white frock
doubly interesting, for the brightest
sort Of girdle does not seem garish
when 1t Is worn with such frock, and
It adds dashing note that the white
itself lacks.
Colored braid is a popular trimming
In use on many Of the spring suits.
Usually braid Of the color Of the
suit Is used, but sometimes braid In
dark blue or black or green is used.
Braid sashes are one Of the notes for
the spring. They are generally formed
Of two strips Of braid stitched together
lengthwise to form a girdle or sash
five or six inches long. They are made
Of braid woven In various combina.
tions Of deep red, dark blue and green
and black.
Leather belts are used now and
again. in all seasons. whether they are
widely used or not. And they are al
ways effective. There Is something
smart about them that woven fabrics
lack. Probably with this idea in mind,
the Paris dressmakes are using
leather trimmings on many OF their
new models. Leather waistcoats,
leather collars and cuffs and bands of
leather which are used like braid or
ribbon for trimming. are all shown. A
suede finish IL the most popular.
Some Of the newest white and tan
doeskin gloves show three rows OF
black or dark.brown stitching on the
back. This dark stitching adds a smart
feature to the gloves.
The cape seems to be here to remain
for some time. One Of its interesting
manifestations Is as a separate coat
with a skirt to match. In this guise
II appears attached to waistcoat that
buttons snugly. Sometimes the cape
and vest or waistcoat are Of the same
color and material, and sometimes
both colors and fabrics contrast.

The practise Of lining a trunk with

place stitch long stout pockets along
the length OF the material. stitching
on the machine several times to insure
good wear. These pockets are invalu-
able for putting away the daintier and
more valuable part Of ones wardrobe.
These pockets can be fitted here and
there with the patent snapper which
keeps them securely closed.
