pay the whole share of the lnsular Gov
ernment in one teacher, and a half of
the share OF the Insular Government in
another teacher for the cost of these
photographs. I am not unaware that
the world outside the Philippines may
possibly prefer the photographs OF the
mollusks to teachers in the Mountain
Province. but ran tha-e no anv doubt in
the mind of any one that my duty is to
spend the money for the interest of the
Philippines, rather than to further what
may be considered the interest of the
scientific world at large?"
On another occasion Mr.. Denison reports
that he had been to Palawan and had
found there 10000 people without doctor
He discovered the same thing on a still
larger scale in the Mountain Province He
learned that the Moros in the southe rn
end of Palawan were eager for a school

At the Culion Leper colony he was petit

patients TO send them two more nurses

Mr. Denison has sent to friends in
this country copies of a speech delivered
by him at the City Club. Manila, on
June 30 last. The speech is entitled
"Democracy's Mission in the Philip
pines" The speech does not give its
authors opinion on the question OF
Philippine independence, but merely dis
cusses some of the questions which daily
come before the Secretary of the Inter-
ior through the administration of his
own department
one of the typical questions Mr.. Den-
son says, which come before him con-
tinually, cropped up in the proposition
whether he should authorize the cX-
penditure of 800 pesos for the Dhoto

OLD STYLES IN NEW
MATERIALS AGAIN
BECOME FAVORITES
Black Velvet Basque Was
Worn by Former Genera
tions, With Hoop Skirts
and Waterfalls.

Any one who makes a study of fash
ions soon reaches the conclusion that
there arc certain modes that recur from
time to time, modified or varied, but not
too changed for recognition.
The black velvet basque that has come
into prominence again as one of the pres
ent-dav fashions was worn by our moth
crs or grandmothers, according to the
generation to which we belong
1t WAS worn with hoUpskirts and the
waterfall of the period, and it is being
worn again today, very little changed
and lending to the wearor more of the
feminine appeal OF a dead and gone day.
The velvet basque uauguratcs the sep
aratc skirt inevitably. And this, too. is
return Of an old style. Frills and FUR
bellows must have Il place somewhere in
the makeup of the majority of costumes
and the plain basque seems to call for
either plated or ruflcd skirts that Will
furnish an effective contrast,
The Illustration shows the black velvet
BASQUE almost severe in design, but mod
crnizYd by the collar This particular
style of collar seems to be compromise
between fashion as originally planned by
the modiste and the comfort demanded
by the woman who must wear 1t.
It is very high in the back but open
sQuarc-Cut neck.
The white facing to tho collar and the
white cuffs are made of silk and count
point as a fashion asset
The skirt worn with tho BASQUE scores
several points in up-to-datc modislincss
1t is in tiers. or sections, and II Is full
that is full according to the present
standard.
Each section of tho skirt is finely
plated, though the fulness is greatest
in the topmost tlounce
While both basque and skirt are con-
they have distinct prestige
among the styles especially created for
autumn wear.
The toque or turban which completes
the costume Is of black velvet trimmed
with goura placed at an angle that we
might be inclined to cali rakish If we
were not determined to reflect the spirit
Of war in our everyday voCabulaies
The military air has been given de-
liberatcly to many coats and capes and
hats and bonnets. and where there is a
certain kind of dash the term is sure
to he used for the sake of its present day
popularity.

SCHOOL CREDITS FOR
WORK AT HOME IN
KANSAS TOWN

~
In the Woman's Home Companion
appear reports from various parts of
the country of new and wide awake
methods adopted by schools in an eff
fort to interest boys and girls in their
work. A Kansas contributor tells as
follows about a system of home credits
out in Helton, Kan:
This year a system of home credits
was successfully carried out in the
schools Of Holton, Kan. A card and
booklet were sent to the parents or
guardian of each pupil. The card was
used for keeping the daily credits ac-
cordfng to the schedule listed in the
booklet. The following is a sample
list Of work and the equivalent credits:
Washing dishes ........... 4 credits
Taking care Of baby two
hours 6 credits
Dressing for school unassist-
ed, including combing
hair n brushing teeth. 8 credits
preparing meal alone ......15 credits
Retiring at 8 o'clock .......1O credits
Arising at z. o'clock ........1O credits
Iak1ng care Of house ........15 credits
Carrying bucket Of water 49,. 2 credits
Carrying armload Of wood. 2 credits
sweeping room .......... 5 credits
Remaining at home one hour
after returning from
ScHOOI 6 credits
NC credit was given for work done
on Saturdays. Credits were deducted
for a number of things. such as speak
ing to ones parents in a discourteous
manner, which deducted 20 points;
hardness at school also deducted 20
points. The mother keeps the daily
score. which is given to the teacher,
who keeps the record Of daily points,"

possible, as any ball player loyal to

seemed to be Josh" Devore, a former
Giant.
II wish you were in on it, Matty,"
he said. l was glad to see him on the

to realize that almost overnight they
had been changed from despised tail
enders into pampered world champions.

WOMEN intend To
ELECT SECRETARY
OF STATE IN 1914
Suffragists TO Agree Upon Wo-
man Candidate Without
Considering Politics.
Sentinel Special Service.

Denver, Feb. 9.-It is understood
mere that the leaders of the women's
CLUBS In Denver are going ahead with
movement recently inaugurated by
some of the prominent club women
from both the democratic and the
republican parties to put in the field
a woman candidate for secretary of
state. There has been no attempt on
the part of these club women who
want some of the state jobs to deny
that such action is contemplated. In
fact. several have openly admitted
the idea was born several months
before it became public that such a
move was under way. They admit.
too, that the strongest women wheth-
err democratic of republican will have
the undivided support of club wom-
en- throughout the state.
The movement had its inception
during the middle of last year when
number of the leaders in women S
councils met at a private home of
one of its members on Capital Hill,
Denver. The matter was quietly but
thoroughly discussed, and every eff
fort was made to keep the "doins .
from reaching the public. But 1t did.
Thus far no democratic woman
HAS peen Drought out 1Or secretary
of state. That is, none has yet been
openly announced, but the republic
can possibility is Mrs. Agnes Riddle,
member of the lower house of the
Colorado general assembly in the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth sessions.
While it is not generally known, Mrs.
Riddle is ION the stump" During
the past week she made an address
before an audience of 400 farmers
and their wives at Greeley on the oc-
casion of discussion of the sugar
beet problem. While Mrs. Riddle did
not refer to her possible candidacy,
still she is losing no opportunity to
get before the public whenever an
opening hobs up.
1t is also said that the women of
the state propose to put out candid
ates for several other elective posi-
tions-possibly state treasurer and
state auditor. OF course there will
be a woman candidate for superin-
tendent of public instruction as
there has always been. There may
be some other jobs the women will
try for.
