The girl who likes to indulge In
"faddy" letter paper viii like a
new heavy linen that is made In a
lovely shade OF pale or flesh pink.
The envelopes have deep flaps
that look precisely as IL some
hungry or much irritated person
had nibbled completely around the
edge, so ragged and toothed is the
line.

thread OF gilt, the effect is really
pleasing as we'll as novel.

The badges of the street and inter-

in the center of which is a space for
the delegates name. A metal bearing
the words: Keokuk, annual conven-

Many Of the street and interurban

electric light companies. This is hold

Of being one of the liyest towns in

More than any other phase of in
dustrial activity the street railways
come in close contact with the gen
eral public in this relation of main
tenance of safety. Your motormen
will tell you that not a day passes
but that they are not called upon to
think safety for scores of thoughtless
people in the streets. On the motor
mans shoulders rests burden which
Ia unjust, for while the coroner's jury
may absoiye him from blame for the
death of person whose life is ground
out beneath the wheels Of his car.
there is yet an intangible feeling on
the part Of the general public that he
was to blame, and he feels that to
such an extent sometimes that it de-
stroys his efficiency as the pilot of
a car.
This Is all wrong. and the problem
for the street railway manager to
solve is. how can the general public
be awakened to sense of Its respon-
sibilities for safety first.
The Chicago surface railways ap-
pear to have gotten at one phase OF
this problem in an effective manner.

Two Notable Speeches.

There were number OF good
speeches made at the Republican
State convention which was held in
Lexington the past week. Two OF
them were of unusual interest.
One of these was made by Judge
Ed C. O'Rear and the other by w. S.
Lawill, Esq. The speech made by
Judge O'Rear was interesting be-
cause it showed that man can en-
terrain pronounced and sincere con-
victions which differ materially from
principles enunciated in his party
platform and still remain loyal to
, the organization.
Judge O'Rear believes in State
wide prohibition but he is reasonable
in his attitude toward the liquor traf-
fic He is of opinion that a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors should be submitted to the
people and that five years should
elapse before the amendment would
become effective. Judge O'Rear
stated his position on this question
clearly forcefully and in a manner
which deeply impressed the large
audience to which he addressed him
self, and It is very evident that there
were IN the convention as there are
in the State in all parties, very few
men who disagree with him entirely.
Judge O'Rear as he stated so elO-
quently. is a Republican and he will
support the party nominees. He is
too thoroly inbued with the tradi-
tions and ancient policies of Republi-
canism to discard them in this crisis,
and he knows that his devotion to
the cause to which he has given his
best endeavor he can find more sup
port within his own party than ne
can outside of it. Today he is sim
ply occupying the position of a pio'
neer. II would be foolish man in
deed who would say that Judge
O'Rear will not live to see his views
accepted by his neutrality-suspicious.
The great probability is that he will.
That the Judge proposes to stant
by his old friends is gratifying L
them all. He needs them and the!
need his intellect and his voice. Their
are many things to be done in Ken
lucky by men loyal to her best In
terests and Republicans cannot a
this time afford to let any one issu
divide them. so long as there is n
back ward step with respect to essen
tials. Or
The speech by Mr.. Lawill was mol
able as marking the return to tn
Republican party OF one of the lead
| ing and most valuable accession
which the Progressives in. 1912 wo
to their way Of thinking.

PROTECT GuNNERS
FROM GAS
Special Helmet Will Be Used BY
British Artillery
men.

London, June Elaborate plans
for defending positions subject to gas
attacks are being pushed to compile
tion by a special committee of en-
perts at the British War Office. For
the aritllerymen and machinemen.
suits of "armor" are being modelled
after the suits worn by divers or
collery fire fighting experts.
The helmets will provide a COM
plete cover for the head, with mica
windows for the eyes, and a heavy
respirator covering the mouth and
nose and supplied with constant
dampening of chemical from a small
tin reservoir under the hat. Clad in
this equipment the machine gun men
and artillery men can maintain a
position even if the infantry has to
retire.
For the infantrymen, the crude
respirators at first supplied are now
being replaced by hoods like the So
called Balaclava helmets. A flap
covers the face. mica windows being
inserted to protect the eyes, while
respirator pad is of cotton waste and
large enough to last for an hour
without replacing. Each soldier will
carry two extra pads enabling him to
remain in his trench position for
three hours under ordinary circum-
stances.
A chew of tobacco in time has
saved many soldier'ss life during
German gas ATTACKS. according to a
corporal of Canadian artillery in a
letter to the Rev. C. r. Durrant of
Preston Rectory, Suffolk. He gives
his reasons as follows:
"Gas makes the air green and yell
low, and it chokes and poisons a
man when he stands. The first
time we began to feel pretty choky
at the guns and wondered if tobacco
would help us. We thought we would
try it and put a big chew in our
mouths. 1t made us spit the gas up.
Now, when we notice the gas in the
air, we just take chew of tobacco.
