TO HOLD THE BRIDES LINEN
Dainty Device Which Adds to the
Beauty Of the Household
Chest.

One of the dainty devices to add to
the beauty of the brides household
chest is the band of ribbon to hold
piles of sheets, pillow slips, towels.
tablecloths and napkins in order.
The band is made of pink, lavender,
blue, green or yellow satin ribbon an
inch and half or two inches wide.
1t is fastened with a small bone clasp
and the ribbon is adjusted to different
lengths by means of bone slides that
move back and forth along the rib
bon. A big satin rose covers the clasp.
Two of these straps are fastened
about each pile Of linen.
When the packages of linen are
piled one on top of the other on closet
shelves or in a chest the roses are
pulled to the front of each package;
and so the packages can be unfast-
ened and towel pulled from one, a
pair of sheets from another, without
disturbing the whole pile.

Celebrating Labor Day.

That Labor day has gradually been
given over almost wholly to sport and
recreation is a cheering evolution.
Crowded stands at the baseball parks,
packed excursion trains and steamers,
full bathing beaches, teeming parks,
and standing-Ioom signs in the thea
tiers on Labor day bespeak prosper
GUS and contented country. Were men
out Of work, factory chimneys desti-
tute Of smoke, spindles idle, and mines
closed down we would see more mass
meetings on Labor day. Something
approaching the first of May celebra-
tons in European countries might be
feared. But who in this land looks for
ward to Labor day with feelings Of
concern? When has political crisis
hinged on the demonstrations of La
Dor day?

FOR NEW COLONY
canal Zone Club Executes
Contract for Land.
CHARLES COUNTY CHOSEN
American Settlers In Panama, De-

Maryland AS Best
Location.

Plans which have been in progress
for months looking to the establish.
ment of future homes i0 Charles coun,
ty by so or more persons from Panama
were consummated at a conference
held between the directors of the
Farms Company of Maryland, which
has financed the movement to bring
the settlers here, and the representa-
tlves OF the Canal Zone Colony Club.
The three representatives of the
Colony Club-F. N. Weidner, of Ches-
ter, Pa; ]. H. Stevenson, of Atlanta,
Ca, and Charles E. Wood, of Whining
ton, Del, executed a contract under
which its members are to purchase ap-
proximately 1000 acres of Maryland
farm land from the Farms Company.
The new owners agree to cultivate the
land and build homes on it with the
view to locating there some time in the
future
AT the same time, the club entered
into an agreement by which the Farms
Company agrees to install drainage
system on the property and to grade
and lay out the necessary highways.
In addition, the Farms Company agrees
to clear and put under cultivation a
certain portion of the land The work
under this contract is to start on Sep

be an official representative of the
Canal Zone Colony Club on the prop

likely that some of the settlers will
locate in Charles county within six
months. Others will remain in Pana-
ma possibly another year or a year
and half, but during their absence
their farm land down in Southern
Maryland will be under cultivation and
in a position to bring in an income
when they take final possession
Mr.. Weidnel and those associated
with him in looking after the inter
ests of the Panama people made it
plain that every settler who expected
to make his future home in Maryland
in the employ of the Government but
who had decided to return to the
United States now that the canal work
is completed. He said that the Colony
Club had carefully considered the land
situation in more than seven states
and that it had selected Maryland be-
cause this State offered advantages in
the matter of soil conditions and near
ness to the large markets which could
not be found in other sections.

Ex-MAYoR HAYES DEAD.
Suddenly Stricken On the Street In
Oakland.

Former Mayor Thomas Gordon
Hayes, of Baltimore, was stricken with
heart failure on the streets of Oak
land, Garrett county, and died soon
afterward at DR.. Hinebaugh's Home
Sanatorium there.
His sister, Miss Julia Hayes, with
whom he had been spending the sum
mer at Mountain Lake Park, mile
and half away, was telephoned for,
but arrived too late to see her brother
alive.
Miss Hayes and friends of the for
mer mayor at Mountain Lake Park
declared he had never seemed in bet
ter spirits or more vigorous health
when he left the hotel, about half an
hour after luncheon. He had eaten a
hearty meal and departed, waving a
laughing good-by to those on the porch
of the hotel. Ever since he has been
at Mountain Lake Park he had been
fond of taking the walk over to Oak
land.

LABOR DAY

The gods Of Man, who rule his fate,
Are Labor, Love and Leaning.
That they establish his estate
Is known to the discerning.
Though Leaning knows a brief
conceit
And Love still makes the world
go round,
It's Labor that provides the
On which the Others thrive.
He gives to Learning hands and feet;
ForLoveacozyhomehe'sfo und-
It's he who keeps these kings
and queens
Alive.
They tell him that they're in his debt
And Labor toils-but listens.
His seal of honor is the sweat
That on his forehead slistens.
They catalogue his works, but lack
The time to tell all here and now:
Joy'swheels. forged from Pains

miles.

FOR THE GUEST ROOM
PRETTY THINGS MAKE THE VEL
COME SEEM REAL.
First Consideration for a Guest Is
comfort-Annoyance of Delayed
Baggage Can Be Overcome
by Little Foresight.

II is a good idea TO prepare pretty
things for fitting up the guest room.
The first consideration for a guest is
comfort. She may be delighted with
the vase of flowers that greets her
from the table, but she will be sure to
appreciate pretty negligee hanging
in the closet. Ones luggage seldom ar
rives at its destination with oneself.
and negligee to slip into is often
comfort indeed. Feet are apt to be
tired, and until slippers arrive the feet
would be glad to rest in pair of SIM
pie bedroom slippers. These are
really no trouble at all to make. You
just take pair of lambs wool soles
and strip of ribbon long enough to
go around the sole and four inches
wide. One edge is sewed to the edge
of the sole and the other is turned
down to make hem through which is
run a narrow elastic. This draws the
ribbon up, shaping 1t into a shoe.
Surprising one chooses blue ribbon
and works few rosebuds on the toes
in embroidery silk and makes a sim
pie kimono of pale blue cotton crepe
trimmed with a frill of white lace
and finished with loose belt of pink
ribbon. This would be very dainty
outfit and cost but little. Four yards
of crepe at Is cents yard, plain or
Powered in blue, with two yards of
lace at ten cents yard, and two yards
of ribbon at 121a cents yard. will
be ample. In fact if one looked around
for bargains one dollar would proba-
bly, cover the entire cost.
Curtains can be made before they
are needed, and one gets such
choice of dainty inexpensive materials
in the early spring. The printed lawns
In the dress goods section make the
prettiest curtains if one cannot find
what she wants in the scrim and cur
tain muslins. White cotton wolfe can
be used for the sash curtains, edged
with lace. The colored curtains
should be made with valance and if
made as follows one can save on ma

ing 21a yards. and hem one end. Cut

MUST GO TOGETHER
Labor and Capital in the Same
Harness.
Enormous Possibilities of the Situa-
tion Before the Country Should Be
Recognized by Employers
and Workers Alike.

Labor day is at hand, and it carries
suggestions to both labor and capital
Of the greatest Importance. Not since
the celebration was established, not
since labor first organized in this
country to advance and protect it's in
terest, has situation existed so prom
Using for all that American industry
and capital represent.
Leaders of all grades and kinds
leaders Of labor, leaders of capital,
leaders in politics-all see before this
country opportunities of magnitude
never presented before. AS they read
the times and tendencies, we are
scheduled as a people for activities on
an enormous scale. New markets
await us. Old markets will be de-
manded more than they have been
receiving from us. A boom era for
America is coming.
1t is to the interests of all that the
opportunities be improved to the full.
But all must help. To get the proper
result there must be what the presi-
dent calls team work." Both labor
and capital must keep in trim and on
terms. They must pull together. 9th
erwise, both, and all, will suffer loss.
Organized labor is often compli-
mented, and deserves the tribute paid.
1t has made its share of mistakes. In
not every case has it been fortunate
in its leadership.
But 1t has steadily and successfully
resisted socialism, and worse, and
kept as its principal purpose the true
welfare of men who work with their
hands. 1t has contributed to the es-
tablishment of homes, to the filling of
savings banks, and to an improved
general condition of those needing to
be buoyed and encouraged in the
struggle of life.
We start, then, on this new journey
with labor in good fettle, strong in
numbers, likewise in capital, though
now INACTIVE, abundant for the annual
occasion. Both factors in the equa-
ton are equal to their duties, and
have only to put their shoulders to
the wheel in good earnest and keep
steadily on the push.
There may be some exaggeration in
the picture we are all studying. There
may not be in store for us all now
promised. Europe will recover from
her prostration and losses, and then
we shall confront our old rivals again
And when in condition they are not
easily handled.
But, allowing for that, the immedi-
ate future in America should show
two wheels turning where one has
hitherto turned, two pay envelopes,
we'll filled, handed out where only one
has hitherto found its owner, and divi-
dends on investments large, satisfying
and sure.

NEED OF TRADE UNIoNISM
Labor Forced to 1t as a Measure of
Protection Against Aggression
of Capital.

In the individual contract between
a powerful employer and a single
workman the laborer secures the
worst of the bargain. He is progress
sively debased because of wages in
sufficient to buy nourishing food; be-
cause of hours of labor too long to
permit Of sufficient rest, because Of
conditions of work destructive of
moral, mental and physical health;
and. finally, because of danger from
accident and disease, which kill off
the workingman or prematurely age
him. The individual bargain or indi-
vidual contract between employers
and workmen means that the condi-
ton of the economically weakest man
in the industry is often that which
the average man must accept. There
fore, there can be no permanent pros
perity to the wage-earners, no real
and lasting progress, no consecutive
improvements in conditions until the
principle is firmly and fully estab-
lished that in industrial life, especial
ly in enterprises on a large scale, the
settlement of wages, hours of labor,
and all essential conditions Of work,
shall be made between employers and
workingmen collectively, and not be.
tween employers and workingmen in.

New Parasol.

There is something new in vanity
fair-a parasol of the name. 1t has
the effect of an eight-petaled flower.
and the semblance is carried out by
the outline of each of the eight sec.
tions being carried to the center by a
series of little gathers. 1t takes two
pieces of material to make each Sec
ton, therefore, 16 in all. The para
sol is so unique and attractive that
the makers have protected the design
by patent rights. Variations OF fete
parasols of Japanese origin are seen.
Never was there such a wide variety
In this particularly feminine article.

MAKE THAT FRENCH TWIST
Simple Way to Arrange the Hair in
the Latest Fashion-Weird But
What Matter7

A simple way to arrange the French
twist is to gather up the hair that
grows upon the crown of the head, as
if one were to form an old-fashioned
roach, as displayed in the old-time
photographs. Pin this so it will be
out of the way. Take the back hair
and bit above the ears and do in
French twist. With the topknot hair
form thick, wide roll from one side
to the other. Anchor with a hair net.
You will look bit weird, but what
matter? You will be in style, and
think what glory that is. Though the
freaks of fashion be absurd, to dis
regard them entirely is to drop be-
hind. And then? Who knows? 1t
may be comfortable to be frumpy, but
it creates positive dislike for the
lady in the looking glass.

BROWNS SELF AND BABY.
st. Miehaels Woman, Alone and Sick,
Commits Suicide.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kudritsky, wife of
Hans Kudritsky, proprietor of the St
Michaels Brick Works, committed
suicide by drowning some time Satur-
day night. She also drowned her
year-old baby, Hans, Jr.
Mr.. Kudritsky became involved, in
financial difficulties about a month
ago and sought employment in Balti-
more. 1t is understood he shipped
upon an outgoing vessel for a six
weeks voyage. Since Kudritsky's de-
parture the brick plant, which was
owned by his wife, was operated by
Otto Kuhlmann.
Mrs. Kudritsky, with her baby and
her 5-year-old daughter Elizabeth,
lived near the brick plant, on the out
skirts of the town.
The first intimation that anything
was wrong in the household was re-
ceived from little Elizabeth, who was
found by neighbor wandering in the
rain near her home searching for her
mother. She was taken home and it
was found that the mother and baby
had disappeared.

Cords and TasseIs.

Cords and tassels are a trimming
feature worth noting. Satin cords
with silk tassels attached are used
on some of the new hats. Metallic
cords and tassels are also used on
hats. Cords and tassels are used at
the girdle, sometimes, and often about
the neck. When used at the neck,
the cord is usually substituted by a
ribbon, and the tassel is in the form
of beaded or jeweled pendant.
