SHAKY POLICIES

lust about now the favorite sons
are popping into the limelight in
connection with the presidential
gossip of 1915. United States Senator
Boies Penrose has been catapulted into
the full glare of the MONDAY sun by
enthusiastic admirers in Rhode Island,
where he made a strong protection
speech last Saturday.
1t is quite unnecessary to seek for
motives in political movements at this
! time. Manifestly, Republicans and
Democrats and men of all parties are
getting together for change of the
wavering and uncertain policies of the
present national administration to the
end that peace and contentment and
prosperity may be established upon
! firm foundations. Senator Penrose's
strength with the business and manu-
featuring world is his unfaltering de-
vote n to the protection principle. He
| is not a theorist nor is he swerved to
the right or the left by those falla-
cious doctrines which serve only to
further embroil the important bust
ending uncertainty.
Whenever and wherever the broad
minded business man discusses the
conditions he is compelled to admit
that at present the superficial pros
lperity is jerky and sporadic in it's
character. One day is no guarantee of
the next; doubt succeeds temporary
confidence and thus the wheels go
round from week to week and month
to month creating a situation that is
unsatisfactory and unpromising. 1t is
this very condition. which is bringing
way the business and industrial forces
of the country for an overturning at
the polls of the policies which have
wrought so much of evil Senator
Penrose in his Providence speech,
fervently declared:
am a Republican. believe in
| the policies of the Republican
party and | am convinced that the
! people must look to that party to
! achieve the desired results. Bat I
! am eager to invite the support of
| all good citizens for measures and
| policies which will bring greatness
| and prosperity to our country. For
| that reason / am willing to appeal
to the people of the South and of
the West. as well as of the North
and of the East. Whether they be
Democrats in Florida or Georgia.
or independents in the West, I urge
them to support an American sys-
tenn which will restore protection
| and prosperity to the United States,
| regardless of party creed.
Could there be anything more fair

determination to overcome present
difficulties.

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance of shade is one of the luxuries which every farm home can and should have. The city dweller is often renter and must take things as they are. Or if he owns a home, the lot is restricted in size, and large trees are an impossibility. But on the farm land for a commodious yard should always be reserved.
 Those having grand old elm, maple, or oak to begin with, are for tunate, indeed But the idea that trees planted now of these species will be a comfort only to succeeding gen. erations is quite mistake.
 Most of the naples, and especially the sugar and red naples are of rapid growth, and at few years at most will give an abundance of shade.
 Do not make the mistake of using fruit or nut trees in the yard. Both make litter at certain seasons, which renders them a sort of nuisance en- tirely unnecessary. If you had no room for an orchard it would be a ulu0T6uI UldlIef. IOu Wdut LID y dl u for solid comfort, and not as crop producer.
 Because the city man uses the horse chestnut for shade, do not follow his example. He does it because this tree is low growing and compact-just the thing where there is little room either on the ground or in the air. With your broad expanse more as- piring species should be chosen. Be sides the burs are a nuisance.
 There is nothing better on the farm lawn than native trees. They thrive admirably, and in every community there are those we'll worth attention.
The Pulaskian., 1915-07-09

The maple in some form is widely disseminated. Its leaf is graceful in outline, the flowers and fruit are dainty, and the tree Is charming in it's autumn dress.
 The catalpa is a favorite in parts of the West because of it's quick growth. The flowers are also dainty. Yet there is never the stability of the
 oak, and the hammock is prefera- bly hung from a more sturdy speci- men.
 The tulip tree or white wood is the queerly cut leaves, tulip-shaped flowers with their beautiful orange crescents marking each petal and com
 pact forms rendering them most use- full shade trees. The tree is a relative to the magnolia, and one of our most valuable timber trees.
 The basswood, so serviceable as bee pasturage, and several of the oaks are satisfactory and highly recom-
 mended. In fact, when lamenting
 that you cannot afford to pay high prices to nurseryman, just go to your own woods and select few tall, straight specimens. As they can be replanted at once there is no danger of injury through exposure of the
 roots. They are in the best possible condition to grow.
 Do not neglect to include one or two evergreens, for the birds if not for yourself. They do so enjoy the shelter
 of the leafy branches when caught in a belated snowstorm. The hemlock
 and cedar are the most pleasing of this class, their slender branches be-
 ing much more graceful than the stiff i spruces. By all means avoid the pines. Their gummy nature may lead to the ruin of valuable clothing.

Remarkable Plants Including

said not only to eat insects but will stretch toward the spot where insects are. In any event, they have been found extended in the direction of a tree upon which insects were feeding on sap running from an incision.
 Persons of wealth are now import ing fine plants from foreign countries, and amateur horticulturists are now endeavoring to secure rare varieties and freak plants.
 An American woman, Mrs. Treat, proved conclusively that leaves of certain plants could hear insects or were conscious of the nearness of in- sects even when there was no con tact between the plant and the body of the insect, and demonstrated it by pinning a live fly half an inch from a leaf of sundew, whereupon the leat moved itself within the succeeding two hours near enough to fasten it's tentacles upon the insect.
 Possibly this was due to the sense of smell, but the fact that the buzzing of the fiy's wings as it died made a hum would indicate that the sense of hearing actuated this carnivorous plant.

BEAUTIFUL AND MURDEROUS
 PLANTS

At a recent flower show in New York there was most remarkable collection of insect-eating plants, in- cluding pitcher plants, nepenthes, sar- racecia mandaiana and moccasin flowers. They were brought from Aus tralia by w. A. Manda, formerly cur ator at Harvard university botanical gardens. Sensitive plants which close up when they hear sharp sounds were also in the group.
 A publisher from Buenos Aires, Brazil, has in his collection some re- markable sensitive plants, among them an unnamed species which differenti- ates between the sound of violin play ing tremendously and harsh sound either too loud or unpieasantly shrill to be appreciated by the human ear. i Tn one case the plant apparently enjoys the sweet music by moving the petals of it's blossoms slightly, and on the other hand closing up almost completely.
 Certain varieties of sarracenia are

One of several styles in underbod- ices, designed to be worn with the fashionable thin blouses that every one wears this summer, is made of sheer batiste, swiss embroidery, val lace and narrow beading. The sleeves are made separately and set in. One may buy bodices like this at such a moderate price that it is hardly worth while to make them, although those made at home cost a little less if made on the sewing machine. But there is some satisfaction in choosing just the patterns in lace that suit the indi- vidual taste, and lace sewed together by hand looks better on close exam nation than machine work.
 The lower part of the bodice pic tured is a strip of batiste hemmed at each end and gathered into narrow strong beading at the lower edge. This beading is finished with an edg- ing of narrow val lace and carries lingerie ribbon, which is drawn up and tied to adjust the bodice at the waist line.
 The top edge of the strip Is to be turned back in tiny rolled tor ma chine-stitched) hem. The lower part of one arm's-eye is cut out at each side and the two rows of narrow val inser- tion with narrow band of fine swiCs embroidery Is overcast to the top oi

tractive afternoon gown pictured here. The plain skirt is cut with bias seam down the middle of the front and back and stripes are exactly matched so that they form points the length of the seams. The skirt opens at the left siGe and is cut to flare. It is ankle length.
 A white net bodice is worn under suspenders of the striped silk, cut on the bias, and joined to a wide crushed girdle of plain black satin. This gir- dle is finished with pointed ends that tie in a knot at the front just below the bust.
 The small coat of plain black, with p1aited back extending below the waist, is lined with plain white satin in thin, supple quality. A broad band of the striped material stimulates a belt on it, and cuffs and collar lined with plain white finish the sleeves and neck. A pretty finishing touch is added in white pearl buttons (cut square) and loops of white silk soutache braid applied in place of but tonholes. The collar is shaped so that it may be wired and made to roll up and stand high at the back.

 The small, short sleeves are made of row after row of val insertion. with a band of embroidery at the bottom finished with val edging.
 Other bodices made of crepe de chine made up with wide insertions of shadow lace are liked in white or pale pirk Brassieres made of handkerchief linen and heavy cluny lace are cut In one piece and wrap about the figure, crossing at the back. They are nn- ished with tapes that tie in front, or with beading carrying lingerie ribbon.

Black and white, it would seem, in every imaginable combination, is the paramount feature of the summers s fashions. In heavier materials it is black and white with the emphasis on black, and in sheer fabrics it is white and black with white predominant. The combination in the hands of those who know how to manage it is maryelously effective, and something new and fascinating is evolved every day. There never was anything so cool and crisp-looking for midsum- mer wear, and never was anything more elegant.
 Among the most attractive dresses made in this way there is one having a skirt of plain white net laid in double box plaits about the waist. It is bordered at the bottom with band of black taffeta, and two other bands are let in the skirt at equal distances apart A little taffeta coat with long sleeves and V-shaped neck is worn with this skirt. It is smartly cut, with collar high at the back, and trimmed with many small ball buttons covered with the silk

If time permits, these should be al- lowed to soak for short time before washing in tepid water, to which a little powdered borax has been added. Then wash them in a tepid soapy lather, first on one side and then on the other, paying particular attention to the feet. Pull the stockings gently into shape before drying, and when nearly dry press them on the wrong side with aspool iron.

two years. and Weinstein was selected
last week to play third base.
Coakley elieves Weinstein will be
able 10 cover more ground between
second and third and that Friedrich
is better adapted TO playing third base
than shortstop.
Because Of two late afternoon lect-

has decided TO put O'Neale on the
initial bag in practice and in any games
which Columbia may have for those
