Timber Market Improves.

That a decided improvement in the
lumber market is near at hand is eyi-

Murphy Morrison COMPANY, timber
brokers and inspectors, sold to Mo-
bile exporters sixty thouS and dollars
worth Of sawn timber. All of the tim
Der included in the deal amounted to
more than four million feet
The timber sold by Murphy Morri-

The Mobile Company, he name Of
which was not given out yesterday
by the local brokers making the trade
will in all probability open Offices in
Pensacola about the time this timber
is loaded. Ii is stated that this firm
of exporters in Alabama has never
before shipped any timber or lumber
from this port
The Sour million feet will probably
require two ships for exporting. Both
cargOes will be loaded simultaneously.

TO MAKE FRUITS FOR ACCESSORIES TO ATTIRE

Little artificial fruits are used ex-
tensively this season. A certain red
and yellow silk apple is especially
popular and may be used to trim hats
or as corsage, and in many instances
has been used in place of flower trim
ming on evening gowns.
Artistic as they are. they may be
made with little difficulty by the girl
who wishes to look we'll, says an
exchange.
Roll small bits of cotton waddins
into a hard ball, and cover over with
a small circle of brightly colored silk
red and green and yellow are all
appropriate.
Tie together at the bottom with
strong thread and cut away all sur
plus material. With a coarse needle,
thread in black darning cotton, make
a large French knot on the top of the
apple and draw the needle through
to the other side.
Pull tightly so as to make a slight
indentation where the knot lies and
fasten with a few strong stitches.

First Air Cruise of the
Belmont
Continued from yesterday.


After two weeks of patrolling the
Mexicans had been frightened by the
air-bird. but gradually gained cour-
age and again started into commit
depredations. So the three aviators
had their hands full sending for bor-
der patrols to protect Americans.
Mr.. Belmont and his aeroplane grad
ually became more and more hated

across the border is on a raid. We're
behind a bluff, so they can't see US"
When they landed they saw that the
wires behind the bluff were cut. The
rascals had cut them behind the
bluff, where the Texan rancher could
not see them, and then attacked.
The wires cut, the rancher could not
get help. Hastily adjusting his in
strument 10 the end toward the
ranch, Belmont heard repeated calls
for help through the attacher. He
called.
Have courage. The wires are cut

The others heartily agreed. so they
rose high above, bullet-shot length
over the Indians.
Here goes for No. L. said Carter,
and he heaved g. bag overheard.
Heretofore the Commanches had not
noticed the aeroplane, but they did

Midsummer Fads

There is a new veil which has a
band of silk or velvet ribbon around
The lower edge to fasten around the
: bare throat and unfasten when the
time comes to drink cup of tea.
The invention is excellent, for we
oil know the tortures of trying to
disentangle veil from its pin in the
short locks of hair which lie on the
nape Of the neck. Few women can
do this with any \grace, and none
without a certain irritation.
Therefore. the new veil Is being well
coined and worn by everyone.
Another novelty is the shoe which
has a heel in the same colored KID or
cloth as the top, and yet another is
the bag to match the waistcoat, or
the bag in ostrich feathers, white,
cream, black or multi-colored.
The idea of having waistcoat, pag,
shoes and even gloves to match is
rather attractive, If the color or col
ors not too striking, and l saw q
woman with dark blue tailor-maoe
and tan trimmings who had carried IL
out very well indeed.
The rose most in favor for black
hats is a fat red bud in that red
which. in the real flower, loses its
beauty as it opens, but which in the
bud is simply a lovely compromise be-
tween pink and red. The very close
fitting little coarse straw toque with
No brim at all and two very tall thin,
tfcklv feathers, the whole thing set
on one side. is worn by the right sort
of women, and in various colors-red,
blue. green and a bright raspberry

when he went into the sand. Then
he looked at nurse Nellie with tears
in his eyes
Hes all gone" said baby Buster
sadly.
Nurse Nellie leaned over to COM
fort him.
HE was wise old sand crab"
said she.
And then, seeing that Baby Bus
ter still wanted to cry, Nurse Nellie
closed her book and began to play
with him.
"rll make you a nice big cake"
she told him.
Then she ran down to the waters
edge, filled the pail with water and
hurried back to Baby Buster. The
water was poured over the dry
sand, which became all wet and
dark.
Now we'll make the cake" Nurse
Nellie filled the pail with the wet
sand and packed it down.
iOne. two, thr-eei' She turned
the pail upside down, hit it on all
sides with the shovel and then
carefully lifted it up.
And there was a nice round sand
cake. Baby Buster clapped his
hands and reached for it, but Nurse
Nellie held up her hand.
Lets put the icing on said she.
"A wight" agreed Baby Buster
with a gay little laugh And what
do you think the icing was? Why,
about two dozen little white shells.
They looked very dainty when
Nurse Nellie pressed them into the
top of the sand cake, and Baby
Buster clapped his hands again.
Then he tried to get up. but he
was so chubby that he tumbled over
and fell right on the beautiful cake,
musslng it all up.
"Oh, oh, OH" Baby Buster stuck
his fists in his eyes and got all
ready to cry. But Nurse Nellie
cried, Wen make another" and
he had to remove his fists to see.
Nurse Nellie filled the pail again.
Then, holding Baby Busters hands,
she let him turn It over and make
the cake himself.
do II aden." he cried. and they
played at making cake for a long,
long time, until Baby Buster grew
very tired and lay on the brown
beach blanket for a nap. Nurse
Nellie placed her umbrella over his
head and he slept for a whole hour,
with the waves and the breeze
singing lullabies.
Maybe I'll tell some more about
Baby Buster tomorrow, If you want
me to. Do you?

This story is to be for the tiny,
tiny folk who don't know how to
read, and who hang over the arms
of comfy chairs at night while
their mothers read to them.
And Baby Buster Dear is to be
the hero.
AND, I promise not to use one
big word.
So we'll begin.
Baby Buster sat on the beach with
nurse Nellie.
He had a bright red pail and a
tin shovel with a red wooden han
die.
Baby Buster hoped to fill the pail
with sand.
He would stick his shovel in the
sand and lift it in the air. Then
he would try to pour it in the pail,
but his fat little hand would turn
sideways and the sand would fan
everywhere but in the pail.
Baby Buster did this many times.
He didn't care very much, because
the sand was so bright and pretty
and shone gaily when 1t slid from
the shiny shovel.
pity, pity" cried Baby Buster,
looking ND at nurse Nellie. who
glanced up from her book and
smiled.
Then Buster plunged his hands
into the sand and scattered great
handfuls in the breeze.
Some of it got in his curly mead
and some slid down the neck of his
rompers. but baby Buster laughed
harder than ever. !,
Pretty soon, just as he reached
for another handful, funny little
white thing crawled out of the sand,
ran across baby Busters hand and
then buried itself in the sand again.
1t was a sand crab, but baby BUS
ter did not know that.
He leaned over, frowning.
"Tum back, tum back" cried baby
Buster and after a little while
Mister Sand Crab did, hurrying
sideways into another little hill. His
back shone like pearl and his tiny
legs were like bits of white threads.
Baby Buster admired Mister Sand
Crab very, very much, and wished
that he would stay and play.
But Mister Sand Crab had had
: brothers and sisters pinched quite to
death by fat little hands that looked
very much like baby Busters, and
he was a wee bit afraid to stay and
play.
You have a nice voice and kind
SMILE" said Mister Sand Crab, but
you do not know that you must not
touch me. think 1 will run away"
And off he hurried

Washing Thin Blouses

Squeeze the blouses from the wash
ing water and empty the bath. Re-
place the b1ouses and stand The
bath under a running tap until all
traces of soapiness have disappeared.
If treated in this way, blue rinsing
water is not required. but in case
of scarcity Of water a little liquid
blue should be added to the second
rinsing water to overcome the yellow
tint which the soap gives.
Prepare a bowl of starch. Mix a
tablespoonful Of blue starch TO a
smooth paste with a little cold water.
Pour a pint Of boiling water grad
ually on the paste. stirring it all the
time until a thick, clear jelly Is
formed, says the Paterson Press. Stir
in teaspoonful of gum water. made
by covering a pennyworth Of gum
arabic with a pint of water, and
pouring off the clear part when the
gum is dissolved and settled.
Cover the bowl with a plate to pre-
vent a skin forming on top of the
starch, and when it is cool enough TO
be borne by the hands. place the
blouses in the starch. Knead them
well, so that the starch penetrates
all parts Wiring them from the
starch and clap them
Clapping Is the secret of success in
clear starching II Is invariably done
by French laundresses when they are
getting up fine muslins and laees.
The object is to prevent the starch
being cooked by the hot iron In IN
slightly patches between the threads.
Take the blouses one by one and
lay each on a clean kitchen table.
Clap the hands with a layer of mus
lin between and continue until every
part looks clear and new.
Hang the blouses out OF doors 20

Cleaning Counsel

When washing windows add small
quantity Of bluing to the water This
makes the glass clearer.
Soak ink stains in sour milk, and
should the stain remain rinse in a
weak solution of chloride of lime, says
the Asbury Park Morning Press.
Grease spots on marble may be re-
moved by applying powdered mag
nesia.
Vinegar and wood ashes. mixed into
paste. are said to be excellent to
polish the sheet of zinc under stoves.
After polishing rub the zinc briskly
with a wooden cloth.
To clean pans that have scorched
food sticking to them sprinkle dry
baking soda in them and let stand
for a while. They then can be quick
ly and readily cleaned.
When sponges are very dirty wash
them in diluted tartaric acid. rinstng
them afterward in water. 1t will
make them very soft and white.
