NO DEATHS OCCURRED
Cause Of Explosion Is Thought TO
Have Been Spontaneous
Combustion.

Washington. July "A tre-
mendous explosion, believed to
have been caused BY some kind
of bomb or internal machine
wrecked the public reception
room on the east side Of the Capi-
toi building shortly before mid
night tonight. No one was injur-
ed.
Officials believe that the ex-
plosive was placed by a crank
who desired TO ere ate sensation.
Visitors were allowed in the
room during the day and a timed
machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
Superintendent Woods, of the
Capitol building, notified by pan
ic stricken watchmen,m hur-
ried investigation and then tele-
phoned for an expert on ex-
plosives.
Until the expert makes his re-
port no official statement concern
ing The incident will be made pub
lie.
The building had been closed
since dark and there was no one
in it but the watchman and tele.
phone switchboard operators.
Watchman Jones, on the floor be.
low at the east entrance, said he
was blown from his chair.
The report could be heard for
mia ~na = fara ,s.
Sro@d Of excited people had
gathered. In the meantime
lights has been switched on and
and excited officials were rushing
back and forth on two floors of
the great building.
After the first rumors of a
bomb, some of the investigators
concluded that the blast had
been caused by spontaneous
combustion in a gas pipe.
The sides of the wall were
blown out, however, and all the
pipes apparently were intact.
There had been no gas fixtures
on the Senate side since an ex-
plosion occurred there nearly 20
years ago, it was said.
While some officials thought the
explosion was the work of an
irresponsible crank, with no other
object in view than a sensation
others seriously suggested that
it might have been perpetrated
by some one desiring to demon
strate his disapproval of some of
the policies of the American
government. 1t was apparent
that there was no intent to de-
stroy life, asitis generally known
that the room is empty at night.

trimmings, unlike any that have gone
before.
Three of the new patterns are
shown in the group pictured here. The
small hat at the top has a coronet of
velvet which is wide at the back but
narrowed to a small u%pturned brim at
the front. A brilliant corded silk o v
ers the crown and the inside of the
coronet, forming a binding about the
edge of the hat. Two smart, upstand-
ing plumes at the back, taken with
the shape of the hat, suggest mill
tary mode.
At the left a wide-brimmed hat with
soft crown is made of velvet. The
brim is curved in gentle and grace
full lines. A metallic braid and a large
flower, which looks like the ARREST of
tiligree, make up the simple and very
effective trimming.
At the right a felt hat faced with
velvet shows another of the pictur-
esque wide-brimmed models. In this
hat the crown is higher. Wide MORE
ribbon and silver lace adorn the I'M
usual shape, in which the brim is
deeply slashed at each side.

Summer or winter. the play and
school frocks of the very small girl
are made of materials that can be
washed. Durable linen in the natural
or in gay colors, wash flannel, pique,
Bingham, chambray, kindergarten
cloth, all present themselves to the
hand Of the seamstress. in plain plaid
and striped designs. Very little trim
ming is used and little girls frocks
must depend for their style OIL color,
cut and combinations of plaid or
striped with plain material.
But If good taste prohibits much
trimming on the clothes of the little
miss it encourages a bit of pretty
needlework and oddities in cut. So
long as the designer does not depart
from simplicity or unbroken lines she
may indulge her fancy for unusual
shaped Jokes, sleeves and yoke in one
and quaint effects in finishing touches.
The two little frocks pictured here
are of the everyday sort that mothers
are making up in heavy linens and
other wash fabrics. In them the little
girl may romp along with her broth
ers; they are designed for much wear,

cuffs and belt of tan linen. 1t has a
short opening at the front with eye
let's worked in tan floss in a close,
even buttonhole stitch on each side.
It slips on over the head and fastens
by mean of narrow ribbon in black or
dark blue laced through the eyelets.
A bit of needlework appears on the
cuffs and collar in a small embroidered
disk of the same size as the eyelets.
A dress of striped pique or other
striped material is pictured at the
right. 1t is made with a set-cn belt,
and two plaits appear at each side, in
the skirt portion. below the belt. The
collar and cuffs in white are edged
with a plain buttonhole-stitched seal
lop. and this simple edging finishes
the plat which covers the front open
ing.
A double row of round buttons is set
down the front, and two larger buttons
of the same kind fasten through but
tonholes in the ends of the belt. which
is stitched to the dress only along the
upper edge at the sides and back.
This makes 1t convenient to launder
the dress. JULIA 5oTToMLEY.

In the displays of new millinery that
are of paramount interest just now
women complain that the great variety
in style and design in new hats is be-
wildering. There are so many shapes
to choose FRONT Shall the hat be
made of velvet or hatter's plush or
felt or velour or fur or selected from
among the innumerable combinations
of these and other fabrics? What is
the wisest choice in a season not domi-
mated by a few styles?
Such a season leaves the individual
to her own in making a
choice. But it affords her a chance to
exercise fine judgment in suiting her
millinery to her particular type.
There are few freakish styles, in spite
of this wonderful variety in hats, and
there is a hat for every face.
One cannot go wrong in choosing
velvet or any of the materials men,
toned. Colors are dark and rich, and
trimmings correspond. Metallic laces
and braids, elaborate beadwork, silk
and velvet flowers land those covered
with ~tinsel), ribbons of high luster, and
rich ostrich plumes, are set off by the
hats of beautiful and sedate colors
that form the best of backgrounds for
them. Fur and the most elaborate and
carefully made fancy feathers, or the
peculiar new cut steel ornaments pro-

There is a lesson given in every
thing they do at Tuskegee, and a de-
mand that they do, it well, writes Mrs.
j.. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.)
Age-Herald. They are taught that good
work is ~elevating and that poor serv-
ice is not wanted.
Every pupil, boy or girl, is given the
opportunity of learning a trade, fitting
themselves to do one thing best,
though they learn many lessons in all
kinds and classes of work. They are
disciplined, are taught order, polite
ness, stimulated to study; when they
fail to do their best they are put in
the drone class, subjected to the
charge of failure, and this plan has
worked well. Think of the lessons
learned from the cultivation of diversi-
fed crops, all done by students-110
acres in Dooly yam potatoes, and 9th
er crops of similar acreage; the prep
aration of a silo for winter forage, o
