lASSEN VOLCANO
UNDER OBSERVATION
Forest Service Cooperates with &C.
illogical Survey in Recording DAN
gerous Peaks Activity as Basis
for Scientific Study.

Mt. Lassen, California, whose violent
eruption of May 10 places it in the first
rank of volcanoes now dangerously &C.
tive, has become the subject of an in
formal cooperative study by the ge-
illogical survey and the forest service.
At the request of the survey, a tele-
gram has been sent from Washington
instructing the officers of the Lassen
national forest. in which the peak
stands, to continue observations of the
volcanoes activity and keep a record to
be used as basis for a scientific in
Yestigation by ]. S. Diller, a govern
ment geologist, who is expected at
Lassen early in July.
The observations are being made by
forest rangers at the scene and from q
fire lookout tower on Brokeoff Noun.
tain, few miles north of the crater,
where the forest service last year kept
watch on the numerous eruptions which
occurred from May to September.
1t is not known whether cloudburst
started the last eruption by precipitat-
ing rain down upon the molten lava in
the crater, or whether melting of the
snow on the peak, with consequent
flowing of water into the crater, caused
the accumulation of steam which blew
river of mud out of the mountain
MIR. Diller, who made study of the
volcano last year, said that he inclined
toward the melted snow theory, adding
that the bright flow reported as ap-
pearing on the clouds of smoke and
steam over the crater is reflection of
the red-hot matter uncovered by the
eruption. indicating that the volcano is
in more or less dangerous mood.
The river of mud which was shot out
of the north side of the crater and
down Hat creek has damaged govern
ment and private property, saws a wire
to the forest service from San Fran
cisco, destroying bridges which were
necessary to permit the entrance of
livestock that are grazed on the forest
range during the summer. Some l2,-
900 cattle and 10000 sheep are grazed
on the Lassen forest every year.
Mt. Lassen is regarded as excep-
tonally interesting from a scientific
viewpoint, according to the geological
survey, inasmuch as it is the only &C
tive volcano in the United States pro-
per, is very accessible to observers,
and appears to be full of dangerous
possibilities. There is much that is not
known about volcanoes, and Lassen is
expected by biologists to furnish a
considerable addition to existing infor-
nation on the subject.

FIXING A DATE
| FOR PRIMARIES
Party Leaders Hope to Avoid ;
Legal Holiday.

Because of the constant tinkering
with the election laws of the state
many of the voters have been misln-
formed as to the date on which the fall
primaries are held. In 1912 the Gener-
al Assembly passed an act which pro-
vided that all such elections must be
held not earlier than the 9Th and not
later than the 18th of September. Ex-
cept in presidential year when dele
gates to the state convention which
names delegates to the national con-
vention, are elected on the first Mon
dav in May.
The governing bodies of the two
leading parties must agree on a day
for the state primaries within the
period fixed by law and they may select
any day, except Sunday. between the
dates mentioned above. Should they
be unable to agree, then the law d.
reefs they must be held on the second
Monday in September.
This year the alternative day will
be September l3. AS September II is
legal holiday and falling on Sunday
must be celebrated the following day,
the primaries may be held on the
day Defenders Day is celebrated,
There is little doubt, however, that
the committee chairmen will reach ar
agreement and that the election will
probably be held on Tuesday, September
IA. The selection of this day is also
preferred by the election officials who
would otherwise be obliged to make
final preparations on Sunday.
Still another objection to Monday is
that party managers would be obliged
to line up their forces on Sunday and
disburse the funds usually distributed
for campaign purposes. This last OBJ
lection will carry more weight than any
other with the party leaders who prefer
a working day on which to COM
plete preparations.
The supplemental registration this
fall will begin September 81. or six
weeks before the general election.
Persons not vet on the books may then
be enrolled and those who haye moved
must apply for transfers. AS the pri-
mary election occurs before the regis
tration begins all voters must appear
at the polls in the precincts in which
they are registered regardless of their
places of abode. Only those now on
the books and affiliated may partici-
pate.

A Few Suggestions For Boosting.

Building good houses builds a good
county.
Save little money and save lot of
worry.
Be live one and the county will
never be dead one
When some one plans to help the
county, plan to help the plan.
The best plans man can have to the
future are house plans.
A good way % make the world better
is to begin with the home county.
A county is like a perambulator: it
isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all your time telling
what you could do if you had some
time.
Be like ball player. The thing he
Is always working for is home.
Be one of the leaders of the county,
if yov can; but. anyway keep up.
If you think COW cont laugh for
joy. let somebody sell you a good silo
Don't be crouch. Everybody in
this county wishes you well, even the
doctor.
Let's not be trying to stop something
all of the time. Let's start something.
A good town or village will do more
to keep the boys at home than good ad-
vice.
A county is like girl It's wonder
full what little fixing up will do for
her.
The world owes every man a living,
but the street corner is poor collection
agency.
Don't look for soft snaps; the hard
ones are the ones that have the ginger
in them.
If you would like to have somebody
working for you, put little money in
the bank.
1t improves the soup to throw little
pepper into it. Same way with the
county.
1t you spend all that you earn. some
other fellow is banking your money.
Many young fellow goes away to
seek his fortune when Fortune is seek
ing for him at home.
Plaster your house and everybody
will follow your example. Lath and
the world laths with you.
You've got to be citizen in order to
vote; but you've got to do good deal
more than vote to be a citizen.
If you will consider the men in Gar
rett county who are well off, you will
find that most of them made their
money here.
The big things were not all done in
the big towns. The greatest poem in
the English language was written in a
country churchyard.
There is only one better man than
the man who gets behind and pushes,
in an effort to improve this county, and
that's the man who goes ahead and
pulls.

REMOVING THE FADED SKIN

one way that is to make 1t disappear,
because 1t is hiding a fine. velvety

a small quantity OF pure aseptic wax,

ON ONE SUIT A YEAR.
HOW A GIRL MAY DRESS ECO.
NOMicALLY AND WELL.
Wisdom in Selecting Materials for

Importance.

er. One year she will buy a winter
suit, the next year one for spring and
fall. Unless the suit has to be made
to order. it should be got for about
thirty dollars. She should have at
least one evening dress each winter
for formal occasions, with one or two
others made over from last year. One
toilet may be pretty blouse worn
with plain skirt of black satin. This
will answer for matinee, teas or in.
formal evening wear.
Twenty dollars will buy a pretty
dancing frock, because it should be
very simple only. Then one can make
changes by adding sash or a flower
corsage, perhaps. Ten or fifteen dol
lars will probably be expended in ma
terials for making over the other
dresses and paying the dressmaker for
a couple of days work.
Little house dresses a girl can make
herself. Four yards of wooden plaid
will make morning dress. Three
dollars and fifty cents will pay for it.
Then she will want separate skirt,
So, and couple of blouses at $3.50 or
SO each.
Afternoon dresses of ratine, cotton
wolfe or challie trimmed with a little
black satin cost very little. Fifty
cents yard Is fair price, A long
wrap-about $25-suitable for after
noon and evening wear, is a necessity,
and possibly a raincoat Hats cost
just what one cares to pay for them;
$40 is ample for the best one and SIS
for the other. Four a year Is none too
many.
In addition to this list girl needs
for warm weather two or three cotton
frocks, best dress Of simple silk or
silk-and-wool, costing SIS to $40; a
linen skirt and three shirt waists.
If she will watch the lingerie sales,
girl can keep herself neat on $40 a
year. Stockings can cost what one
pleases, according to the care given
them. Fifteen dollars a year should
keep one well shod.
For accessories a girl should be al
lowed as much as a parent can afford
for such things, because accidents will
happen no matter how careful one
may be.
A new pair of gloves may split. for
instance. and so become worthless, or
the rain may spoil a hat or any deli

NEW BLousEs AND SKIRTS
Chiffon, Lace and Net Retain Popu
larity for the Finer Garments
Sleeves Are to BE Long.

Chiffon. lace and net remain the "a.
vored fabrics for fine blouses, while
crepe de chine is the exquisite mate
rial for shirts for ordinary wear. To
go with the tailored suit there are at
tractive models whose plainness is re-
lieved by touches of hemstitching and
hand embroidery done In self-tones.
The work is scattered down the front
and on the shoulder.
The cape blouse introduced early
last season did not meet with the sue
cess anticipated for it. Nevertheless,
from it has been evolved a type OF
waist that shows the superstructure
of lace sagging very much at the back
above the waist line and giving the
suggestion of the page cape, from
which it undoubtedly has been origi-
mated.
Almost without exception the sleeves
are long, and there is good reason to
believe that the incoming modes will
maintain such effects. The length,
however, does not mean discomfort,
because the sleeves are cut with In
creased width from elbow to wrist.
While many of the blouses exploit
the set-in sleeve, there are worthy ex-
amples Of the raglan and kimonO
type in the new schedule. AS matter
of fact, the preference appears to be
for the raglan style.
