Wilson Warns Mexico.

President Wilson has decided
to serve notice on the warning
factions in Mexico that conditions
in that country have become
intolerable and that unless they
themselves compose the situation
soon some other means may
have to be employed to ac-
complish the result. The first
intimation of the president taking
this step came in an appeal is
sued from the head of the
American Red Cross, setting
forth that several years of in
ternal disturbances in many
parts of Mexico have reduced
the people to the verge of star
walton" and urging contribution
to relief funds.

Our Negro Population.

A bulletin just issued by the
Bureau of the Census shows that
the colored people of this coun-
try are not loafers, but gainful
citizens. The common theory
in the South that the farms are
being turned over to negroes
who permit them to degenerate
and deteriorate into poverty
stricken land is not true, accord
ing to Uncle Sans statistics.
The census report indicates,
however, that the negro popula-
ton is more subject to certain
fatal diseases than the white and
that the per cent. of deaths
among the colored people is far
greater than it is in any other
race.
The number of negroes in the
total area of enumeration in 1910
was 10, ,215, 482, forming 1919 per
cent of the total population. Of
this number, the vast majority,
1927, 753, lived in the United
States proper.
The negro population increased
liz percent during the decade
from 1900 to 1910, and the white
population 22.3 per cent.

The difficult part Of making ready
the winter wardrobe now, lies in de.
Gliding upon just what one wants.
If it is a question of the street suit
that is to be decided, a safe answer
lies in two directions at least. The
severely plain tailored suit, with plain
skirt, cut shoe-top length and moder-
ately wide, OF a plated skirt, may be
chosen, to be worn with a semiftted
coat having a fiari1g skirt portion,
long, plain, rather close-fitting coat
sleeves and a finish of bone buttons
and inconspicuous stitching. The
plain, tailored suit does not come
back" each season, for the simple rea-
son that it never goes out. 1t is al
ways with us. With some variation
of lines or length or fullness it brings
its own style into line with the pass
ing modes.
Then there are suits on decidedly
new lines. Among them those that
show the influence Of the redingote
which has inspired the designers OF
SO many and such varied models. A

Ribbons and laces continue to set
off the faces of maids and matrons
during many hours of the day at
home.
A cap Is shown at the left Of the
picture given here which sells for
fifty cents. It may be had in any of
the lovely colors into which ribbons
are dyed. Jonquil yellow, rose color,
and blue are great favorites just now.
1t takes a yard Of ribbon about five
inches wide to make 1t, and a yard Of
narrow ribbon, one inch or a little
less in width, to make the three small
ribbon flowers and the short loops
that decorate 1t. A yard Of shadow
lace edges the wide ribbon for a frill
about the cap. This lace is bought
in a fiveinch width and split length
wise to form two strips, n three
inches wide and one two inches wide.
The wider strip is used for the friil
about the face, and the narrower is
gathered along one edge with 6 plaque
to form the center Of the crown.
To make the cap sew the lace

stitching to form a casing for an

the picture and 1t is safe to pin ones
faith to 1t.
In this suit the skirt is not extreme
ly wide. 1t has a fiat panel at the
front and back and is shaped to flare,
with inverted plaits where the side
cores are set in. 1t should be shorter

more than an inch or two below the

WAS NOT A SEA SERPENT
American Museum Gets Picture OF
Harmless Shark, Mistaken
for a Monster.

Stories of persons having sighted
sea serpents and other monsters of
the deep reach the officials of the
American Museum of Natural History
frequently, most of them coming in
the form of letters during the sum-
mer months, when persons more IA
miliar with business Offices or their
homes than with the inhabitants OF
the sea are attracted to the resorts.
Most of the letters are based on
hearsay evidence, and so it was with
some surprise that DR.. F. A. Lucas,
the director of the museum, read in
one of the letters that an actual pho
tograph Of the sea serpent whose &C
tons were described was being for
warded under separate He
awaited the arrival of the photograph
eagerly. The letter which preceded ii
said that the sea serpent had made
its appearance at the eastern end OF
Long island and that it had whipped
and churned the water near the spot
at which it appeared for nearly an
hour.
Occasionally it's huge tail could be
seen above the water; at other times
two or three sections of its writhing
dark body could be seen at once. One
of the spectators who had fed to the
shore from a small boat procured 6
kodak and snapped the monster al
conclusive evidence that sea ~serpent'
did exist.
The photograph arrived in the mex
days mail, however, and Doctor Lu
cas- found it to be not a sea serpen
but what is known as a "thrasher
shark, a species which, it is said, /
more afraid of man than man is Of II
It's name is derived from the mann
in which it thrashes about in the wa
ter with its huge tail.
