Royal Worcester aIa BON Tom C0rsets
New Models for the Spring Season.

These corsets are medium in price, haee good lines,
sAov the tendency to lighter and less cumbersome cor
boning and materials being as light as pos
be to give durability and support. Buss are 1ery I0a'
and the long skirts and rather large scai lines bring out
all the best points of fashion.
Models in these corsets for slender, glrllsh figures, an
elastic zUast line styles ah extreme long skirt and lac
ing at lozver edge of 'front.'
Elastic inserts at top or through the hips add greatly
to the comfort and general feasibility of the garment an
1arious models It IS easily seen that this enables the
retention o the natural figure ne but permits the u'are-
st,ieted freedom soneceary to health and conUenaence.

An Added Situation.
from the Detroit Free Press.

Naturally there are a good many vary
Ing guesses concerning the effect the
suspension of payments on the Mexican
national debt is to have on the fortunes
Of President Huerta- In Washington the
prevailing official opinion Is that the at
tempt Of President Wilson to establish a
financial blockade against Huerta has
been successful and that the end of his
regime is in sight Those who believe
this are jubilant, though why they should
rejoice in situation which promises
success to Villa is something Of a mys-
terry unless they are intbued with purely
childish glee over the barren fact that
the United stateNhas been able to dem
onstrate its power as dictator in the
internal affairs Of foreign power.

Safety First!
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
OF all societies commend us to the
just formed Safety First. At last the
despised pedestrian has found friend,
an association Of friends. an association
Of associations, many clubs and fedora
tions representatives of many and vari-
Gus interests or Of the common interest,
having combined in safety first. Safety
in the streets and all public places of
New York all the year round: that is
about the aim of the men and women
who have started this most necessary and
welcome union. 1t is to be cooperative
and co-ordinate; the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of all are to be explained and
enforced; the public is to be educated in
the art OF self-preservation, and the
thoughtless and reckless importers of the
public are to be taught better or
punished.

Clean Streets.
From the Indianapolis Star.

Mayor Bell enlists the police in the
clean streets campaign. The idea is
good. The police can be made an active
instrument In getting cleaner streets
without burdening them in their other
work. For the police, 1t is only a matter
Of using their eyes. But. farther than
the police, clean streets depend on many
individuals-on the man who litters walk
and street needlessly with paper and on
the teamster who, with loose wagon bed
drops a calculable volume OF his load of
earth on the street A plan Of street
cleaning in which a co-ordinated and
well systematized department works with
the police and with watchful citizens will
produce results.

MAH0MET MOSQUES
Largest and Most Beautiful in
Delhi and Agra.
Biggest 10 at Delhi and It Took 5000
Men. Working Six Years, to
Build lt-ias Many steps -
Capital At Washington.

Washington.-The largest and most
beautiful mosques In the world are at
Delhi and Agra. In northern India,
writes Frank q. Carpenter. The big
gest mosque IL at Dslhf. It took 5000
men, working six years, to build It
and 1t has as many steps as the capt.
tol at Washington.
The most beautiful mosque in the
world il the Tai Mahal. at Agra. It
is not 90 large. but 1t 10 far more
costly than the Jamma Muspid. the
biggest mosque In Delhi. and its won
derful workmanship is still the admir-
alton of the world.
The building stands upon q mosaic
platform Of black and white marble
covering about two acres, at the cor
ners of which are high marble towers
in which the Mahometan priests stand
morning and evening and shout out
the calls to prayer. The mosque It.
self. which is also . tomb, is Of the
purest white marble. ending In bub-
ble-like dome that seems to float In
the air over II.
Its doors are of lace work Of the
purest white marble, and the interior
contains enough Of this marble lace
work to build . fence around the
grounds Of the White House at Wash
ington. II is q strange commentary
upon the wonders Of true love that
this $4,000, 900 building was built by .
Mahometan Sultan In honor Of his
wife.
The Sultan's name was Shah Jehan.
He had over 100 wives. but he was es-
pecially fond Of only one. and when
she died he erected this building to
her memory. He drafted the unbeliev-
ers among his subjects and set them
