WHITEHOUSE IS
BLAMED FOR BAD
SHAPEOF BRIDGE
(ContiIued from page one)

Mt the meeting last night, but McClel-
Ian spoke for him, or in his defense
by giving the reasons the work on
the bridge has not been started. THE
high water there has made it impos-
sible,"s said Mcclellan, ito go ahead
with the work" 49,"
Pacheco and Mayor Fern contend
that this is not valid argument
IF they are going to wait for the
river to dry up before building a
bridge, there is no use for ii to be
built" said the Mayor. The city and
county is apt to get in a bad damage
suit on account of Sundays accident"
Pacheco began an investigation this
morning into the conditions surround
ing the appropriation. He said that
he was mot going to let up" but pro-
posed to take a strong stand against
Whitehouse on this issue. This is
not joke" he said ut is serious
business when public bridge is left
in such condition that traffic on it is
eminently unsafe. Something has to
be done. and We are going to start
right out to do it. .s>. .
The money for repairing the
bridge became available on ecember
s, 1913. by the passage of Resolution
No. 122. The bridge should have been
repaired but nothing has been done,
though the money is available" With
that he announced that tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock several super
visors and the mayor will visit Wahi-
ava and inspect the bridge.

ARMY NOTES

A bill to appropriate S15,000,000 for

aeroplane feet for national offense
and defense has been introduced by
Representative L'Engle of Florida.
In explanation, he cites the size of
the United States feet of aero craft.
The United States has twelve obso-
lete man-killing aeroplanes and nary
dirigible. England, France, Russia
and Germany spent more than a mill
lion dollars apiece this year for. air
machines for war, while this country
proposes to spend next year only
$250,000 for the same purpose
He speaks of Uncle Sam" and his
need for warlike aero craft in this
way: ~
He is going merrily along digging
Panama canals next door to the equa-
tor; planning to build a railroad just
this side Of the north pole; propagat-
ing the peace propaganda; oiling up
his half-million-dollar sQuirtgun to
shoot insecticide on the microbes that
give hogs the stomach-ache; smiling
with paternal indulgence at the mani
festation of that weird, intangible,
but none the less militant and ponder
Gus thing known as senatorial digni-
ty,' that prompt wearers of the toga
to insist on walking in ahead of the

tions; spending his money like a

Col Willard F. Waltz, 18th Infantry,
commanding the 5th Brigade in Texas,
pays this tribute to the enlisted per-
sonnet of the army, a tribute that To-
cal officers believe is we'll deserved
and worthy of the consideration of
officers, soldiers and civilians alike.
Speaking of the evident reluctance of
men on border duty to re-enlist, and
charging much of the blame to the
monotCny of camp service, Colonel
Waltz says
The caliber of the average enlist
ed man is the best in the world. Many
soldiers who quit the service after
their first term of enlistment join not
only for the training they will get,

OF value to any one.
First, put your patient in an easy, nat

you above the level of the patient and
allows perfect freedom for your arms and

THE THOUGHTLESS HUSBAND



the beam falls on the servants, not upon
herself.
A husband who Is thouehtlcss in the
small domestic ways can he cured OF 1t
If a judicious attitude is maintained at
the outset by his wife. My sympathies
are all with her and the remedy really
lies within her own hands, II she but
knew IT,
1t is quite true that many wives are
foolish in the methods they adopt to euro
this type of thoughtlcss husband. They
bemoun his shortcomings to all and sun
dry, and at afternoon receptions, wom-
ems clubs and womcns card parties, one
will see them lay the family skeleton

day to a company of women. He doesn't

at my busiest time he wants me to 90

opera--it really Is inconsidcrate OF him!"
Personally / thought that this type OF
inconsideratc husband wast rather at

most critical spirit he only showed
little want of thought-aud that was
amply counterbulanced by his ltlndlinessl

MODES OF
THE HOUR

The Almost Universal Dominance oI
the Elaborate Costumes Now Ir
Vogue Gives the Very Simple FrocE
Charm of Distinction In It.
Rarity.
A few years ago the plain suit for
street wear was the rule and not the
exception. Serge, tweed or broadcloth.
ii was the cut and the Mt that proved
the tailor's excellence
But now we have changed all that.
II is not often that two suits are seen
that are cut after the same pattern, and
garment that fitted the figure would
be archaic, at least as far as the waist
Is concerned.
1t is possible that the new materials
are partly responsible for the elaborate
costumes that are now in vogue. Not
only are the colors much more beautiful,
but the weave and the texture are vastly
improved.
Perhaps IL is the quality of the CLOTH
the softncss and the pliabillty that tempt
the designers to exercise not only their
skill but also their imagination.
It must be a delight to handle the ma
terials and to find that they fall into
folds and draporics almost of their own
volitiou. 1t does seem like a wasted OPP
rortunity TO cut q perfectly plain skirt
and coat out OF such material as duve-
tyne or of velours.
The rarity OF the very simple frock
gives It the charm Of distinction. There
are many women TO whom plain clothes
are infinitely more becoming than those
OF elaborate cut or trimming. II they
are wise they never lose sight of this
fact and keep within tho law of the sill
houette of the moment without depart
ing from their own fixed principles of
dress.
The little frock sketched today will
make it's appeal to all those who are o.
llttlo weared OF the fanciful and the
ornate. And, although elaborate and in
many instances extremely artistic clothes
are the rule. it does not follow that the
plain suit, or tho plain frock lacks the
cachet of style. The models come from
the great houses, perhaps tossed off In
moment of relaxation by the famous
modistes.
Velveteen is suggested for the frock
illustrated. 1t would make demi-sea-
fore really cold weather makes a coat
necessary.
The fur banding of the collar, cuffs
and hem of the skirt is the most at
tractive trimming and the most modish
that exists at the present monent, Pelts
arc treated so scientifically that the in
expensive furs do not have n cheap look,
and certain kinds of skunk and the
short-haired black furs are within al
most any ones reach
A pretty touch is given to the dress by
the white collar 1t is made Of corded
silk, and looks extremely well outlined,
as It is here, by the narrow fur trim
ming.
The sheer white collar is replaced with
growing frequency by the collar of white
silk or satin. The trend of fashion has
set in this direction, and the silk collar
has many points In its favor, besides nov
city, for winter wear, One, beyond dis
pute, Is that silk seems more appropriate
in combination with heavy materials than
organdie or batiste.

Ihe Cure

AS a matter of fact, I am inclined to
think that the loneliness Is sometimes a
blessing in disguise.
How greatly we shall appreciate the
real friend who will possibly turn up one
day-better late than never! The being
who will see eye to eye with us, and yet
who will kindly sympathize with our
failings, and who will lend a hand when
IEge are beset with difficulties.
But 1t is a serious matter from
woman's point of view. 1 have known
woman to marry more from the dread
sense of loneliness in the future than
from a feeling of love.
And this is why, now we are on the
subject. that I feel inclined to sound
little note of warning. 1t is bad enough
TO spend day or a week with a person
who Jars ever so slightly upon one.
but how would 1t be II it meant life
time together?
The best way to get out of the lonely
feeling is first of all to get out of our
selves.
The self-forgetting habit is worth cul-
tivating. 1t teaches us to keep our eyes
open to the needs OF others, and It in
cidentally teaches US that, in nine cases
out of ten, we possessed blessings of
which we were in total Ignorance until
we compared our lot with that OF our
next-door nelghborl

"GOOD MIXERS"

II seems almost an anomaly that just

entirely given over to commercial special

this the bread-mixer remains at tho very
top Of the housewives list of labor savers

How tedious and sometimes unpeas-
ant is the long task of mixing bread by
hand, simply because the human hand
and arm are not as perfect lever and
paddle as are those of iron! While
many housewives make the most per-
feet bread with their hands alone. there
is every reason to encourage the use
OF mechanical mixers, especially when
more than two or three loavcs are
needed Several kinds Of mixers are
on the market. all resembling one an
other in consisting of a pail with a re-
volvlng beater which, when rotated by
a handle, stirs or mixes the bread dough
until 1t reaches the proper consistency.
One of the newest mixers has the ham
die near the bottom, like an ice cream
freezer, instead of in the top as in the
older models, and those who have used
It claim II is easier to use because OF
this improved point Of leverage.
While beating up cake by hand does
not seem difffcult task, when we con-
slider the wabbly bowl and real amount
of energy II takes to successfully beat
large amount OF batter, we come to

energy saver This is identical in prln-
ciple with the larger bread mixer, but

shows a lack of understanding sympathy.
Men do not realize the difficulty of

warning that he intends to do so. He
cannot understand why she feels wor-

But in some cases the problem OF the
