LONDON, Oct. 28.-The news from
Petroria that Gen. Christian Dewitt,
minister Of agriculture for the Orange
Free State, has joined the rebels and
will lead armed forces against the
British, makes it plain that the Boer
uprising is more extended than at
first thought. 1t is understood that
Lord Kitchener has taken prompt
steps to stamp out the revolt before
it has chance to spread.

THEY JUST HAVE TO LAUGH
Editor Day Book: Our Day Book
Club is getting blase pronounced
blizay) through overreading of the
Tribune Sunday mornings. We had
been dedicating four minutes of our
time to a study of the Sunday Trib,
but, finding that too much, decided
to bolt it in three. But even that is
too rich for our blood, and some of
our members are foundered, others
are spawned, and I'm laid us with a
beIyache. The Tribune bellyaches
over this, that and the other thing
and it's infectious. We get to laugh

Called pain aforementioned. 1t makes
US laugh to see the Tribune hand out
editorial advice one Sunday about
Defective Parents and the next Sun
day criticize boys and girls for not
behaving properly in the parks of Chi
cago Beautiful Now, the truth is the
Tribune knowns nothing either of
parenthood or childhood. The only

wouldn't mind betting thirty cents
ers on the Tribune staff put together
couldn't muster a brace of twins
among them. If the Tribune knew
anything about children or parents it
would know that children behave al
ways much better than grown-up
people, that the great thing children
suffer from is too much bringing up,
too much watching by alleged Sun
day school teachers, too much SER
monizing by Arthur Burrage Farwel
& Co. Too bad we have to teach the
Tribune all this stuff. But the Tribune
ought to know by this time that par
ents have an awful lot to learn, and
that if they want to learn it right
they can learn all that is worth
knowing from their children. Same
way with schoolteachers. If they
would only go to school to learn from
the children, everything would be far
better than it is now.
Every parent who is any good at
all gets his necessary discipline from
his children, and he is so busy get
ting that discipline and absorbing it
that he has no time even to think
of trying to discipline his children.
Children don't need disciplining. What
they do need is to be left alone and
not interfered with by grown-up peo-
pie like the Tribune and some others
who are trying all the time to take
the bread out of their mouths and
hand them back few chunks of ice
in the summertime in exchange.
But please don't think for minute
our club is worried over the Tribune's
spasms. We simply have to laugh.
That's all, and the bellyache follows.

FOR COLLARS.

Many art needleworkers have the idea that a heavy linen collar cannot be edged with other than heavy lace such as cluny or torchon; but the edg- ing of heavy linen with Valenciennes lace, or the edging of batiste with cluny or torchon, makes a very pretty contrast of material weights. One If the new collars is made in sailor ef- feet, only that the back of the collar is more or less oblong instead of square having an elongated panel extending pretty we'll down the back of the blouse. This is worked in a conye,,- tional design of eyelets and solid work. The edge is trimmed with vaIenciennes lace about three-quarterS of an. inch wide. Where the lace is joined to the linen there is a straight battonholed joining.
 An unusual edge that is now being used on some lingerie collars is the fringe joined or fringe made of the material and is one with the collar. Ii the collar is made of batiste, however, 1t is best to buy a heavier fringe that will not tangle so easily as the light threads of the batiste

SIMPLY A WARNING,

Distance and the inability to get quick communication at the present 3me together with the prevailing sit nation in Turkey, appear to be respon- tnble for the scare which was raised by the Tennessee incident in the har- Dor of Smyrna,
 There is relief in the declaration that the launch of the United States cruiser was not in danger. though such a& what was considered would be the disclosure when the facts became known. 1t brings down to the size d6 a molehiil, or smaller, what ioomed ID like a mountain under the con- sssruction which could be placed upon r1ne act Both in the despatch from Captain Decker and in that from Am Asssador Morganthau is it made evil dent that the purposh of the Turkish olcials was not hostile. Turkey had declared Smyrna to be Q mined and A closed port. The launch of the Ten nessee was proceeding across this field, not only involving danger but against tie government notification, and the usual method of giving warning, a shot was used to stop it. It proved eff eective without doing any damage ox without any being intended
 There appears to be no phase of the situation which calls for any excite nlent, especially since it is learned that Ehe Turkish official offered after the shot to conduct the Tennessee's com nnander to Smyrna by auto. Had the scene of action been nearer and the cables less cIogged with business the report and explanation would doubt less have been received at tho same sirne.

HIS ASH TRAY.

Cover a small box lid inside and out with tapestry and proceed to line it with glass. This means that fl .e pieces of glass must be cut, one large piece for the bottom and four oblongs for the sides. Any paint and window glass store will supply you with these pieces of glass, just as they formerly cut them for the passepartout work that was the rage 8 number of years ago. Glue carefully put along the edges of the glass will glue it to the bottom of the box. and the pieces Of glass to each other. There will, Of course, be a rough edge at the top This edge should be covered with tal nished gilt galIoon. Cover the wrong side of the galloon with glue and pro- ceed to bind the edge with it, half of the width of the galloon going inside the tray and half upon the tapestry outside the tray. It is a pretty little novelty which would look well in d mans den, and the tapestry will be sufficiently dark to please his mascu- line taste,

WORKING. FOR PREVENTION.

Tn dealing with the important ques- ffon of health as well as with other subjects preventive measures play a conspicuous part, and such apparent Iy actuates the United States public health service in it's plan of issuing health reports. Though it may appear that the value of precaution and pre- vention would be recognized by those who daily see the effects of failure to give attention to such things and who are constantly given lessons of the sad and serious results of carelessness, yet there can be and unuuestionably is an immense amount of benefit to be derived from giving full and per- sistent publicity to such vital neces- sites.
 It makes little difference whether the effort is directed towards the pre- vention of disease among the people in general, or among workmen, the strict regulation of the sale and use of poisons and narcotics, or the elimfna- ton of other conditions which are det- rinental to the health of @ commu- nity or people, it is an endeavor which should bring good results. Much of the good which is thus accomplished may never be known, but in charging and recharging the minds of the people with the importance of such personal effort greater though is directed there to and when such has been obtained action can be expected to follow. It makes little difference what it is, whether a dangerous or a mild disease, it is far preferable that conditions which encourage it should be elirni- mated and the greater the army that can be enlisted in such an undertaking the greater will be the benefits derived.

 Never before were orange bios . sons so profusely used in the decos- alton of bridal garments as they are at present They are still worn in their time-honored place on the head dress and they are placed in festoous or garlands or little bouquets down the bridal veil.
 Sometimes they are worn in a gar- land encircling the waist, as was the case Mrs. McAdoo's gown. Or they may be dotted in small boL- duets on the long court train-when the court train is woIn-as was the case in Mrs. Kermit RooseveIt's wed- ding gown.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
What Happened to ouorida III.


 MT, Editor: A reporter once told me that he could write his best news CD items from meagre information, be- cause he was then not hampered by facts. Such an inestimable advantage to the seeker after thrills, and the from molehills of, prose may, however, be sometimes painfully distressing to the friends of the heroes of such stories, who are too innocent of the ways of the omniscent press to sep arate the atoms of fact from the pro- toplasm of fiction, and who are as yet ignorant of the amazing skill of the reportorial needle in weaving diaphan- ous and lacy fabrications out of most sordid and commonplace fact.
 It is to be doubted if even the titanic European conflict can furnish a more perfect or beautiful example of this wonderful art than the double headed account given the unsuspecting Nor wich public Saturday evening of the awful marine disaster which befel the tN o ton Cor was it two thousand ton) cruiser Ga word which motor boat peo pie like to use with reference to their craft because it suggests something big) Querida III, nee Alice L., off the treacherous coast of Clinton Cor was it Chile?), in which the captain, chief officer first, second and third engi- neers, steward, bo'sun, cabin boy and entire crew (nalnely, L.

A FAVORABLE TIME.

When the trade treaty between this country and Russia was abrogated ewo years ago it was realized that con- ltions were likely to change in the htter country before 8 new one was negotiated. It was a matter entirely kside from trade relations which

ITAuYs POLICY.

Even though nothing may result from it, the situation in Italy again attracts sattention at this time. Ger many has never gotten over the fact that Italy failed to find cause for the support of the triple alliance at the opening of the war while the allies have never ceased in their endeaTors to enlist the services of that nation in the present struggle against Ger many and Austria. Not without much trouble has Italy maintained its posi- tion of neutrality
 Now comes the announcement that Germany has named Prince won Bulow as ambassador to Italy and in view of the fact that he formerly held that post. is an ex-cl1ancelIor and has an Italian wife. while it is generally con- ceded that he is a man of marked ability. Germany appears to be adding strength to it's diplomatic relations with that country.
 At the same time a-ca1I has been sent out for conference at Rome to all the diplomats which Italy has ir the important European capitals Whether there is significance to these moves remains to be seen. Italy de- clares that the conference is simply because Of the recent cabinet change and a. desire that there be a full un- derstandfng with the new foreign sec. retary. With both sides in the wal doing their utmost to get Italy tC break away from its neutral stand there is reason for firm policy ant strict adhesion thereto if the coun- try is not going to be drawn into the conflict, and certainly there is enougf blood being shed in that part of tho world without increasing the posslbil. ities.

-------------------- RAILROAD VALUATION,

As the task proceeds, it is realized hnore than ever that obtaining the valuation of the railroads of this coun- try is not only going to be one of gi- kantic proportions as to work, but also AS to cost. At the time 1t was advo- eated it was contended that it would take much time and that the cost would run up to between five and ten million dollars. Since then it has been realized that even such an amount was poor estimate and now Charles A. Prouty, an ex-member of the inter- state commerce commission, estimates fhat it will cost $50,000, 900 before the estimated value is obtained. Of this great sum a quarter will be paid by the government and the remainder must be met by the railroads, mean tng an addition Of over thirty seven hi1Iion to the expenses of the already bVerburdened.
 It is a job which must of necessity be slow, both for the accuracy which s so important and because of the great amount of work which is in- 1olved. It is also an undertaking which should be a dependable basis br guidance if it is going to amount b anything, but by the time the work E completed in the indefinite future he value as fixed will be an estimate H several years previous. The fact tha; lfle physical value per mile of roa6 s apt to vary greatly among the diff. kerent systems is not going to aid ma. beria1ly if rates are based upon those Conditions for such would be giving consideration to one basis without re. kard to other vital conditions. It i. Evident that the effort is going to bC costly one Whether it will evel prove to be worth it is an t1nsoIvet Sroblem. The railroads need help now
