Islands in a Sea of Lava.

The valley of the ancient Snake river
IN Idaho was flooded with great outpour-
ings of black lava, which spread out
sheet on sheet, burned the old land sur
face. and partly filed the valley with
molten rock, which solicited and has
remained TO this day undisturbed except
for the gorges that the streams have
cut in IT, In some places old mountains
project through the petrified lava Hood
as islands project above the surface Of
the sea, and old ridge stick out into II
as capes and promonteries.
The area covered by the Snake river
lava is about 10000 square miles. So
far as is now known, there is but one
lava field in North America of greater
extent, the Columbia river lava field,
which covers about 100000 square miles
in Snake river capon below Shoshone

OF lava are exposed. but whether this

arteries, which also supply the brain
with blood. Having by those means
checked the flow OF blood to the brain
and reduced the abnormal temperature .
further measure Is the application of a
hot compress to the face. This will d.
late the face muscles and draw blood to
this part. The congresses on the face
and neck should be changed every min
ute or two, to keep them very hot and
very cold, and the treatment continued
for Is or 20 minutes. When the ice
bags are removed the feet should be
sponged with cool water and wiped dry.
Sick headache comes from the stom-
ach. If the cause Of disturbance is re.
moved by hot.water emetic or an en-.
ema the headache may disappear without
further treatment. But few persons
want to wait for the righting of the
stomach, and relief may be brought about
by simultaneous hot and cold treatments
to regulate the circulation of the blood.
This means the cold compress about the
neck, a hot-water bag or hot fermentation
at base of brain, and simultaneously a
cold compress over the forehead and
eyes. At intervals Of three minutes
these applications should be alternated
with an ice-bag at base of brain and a
hot compress over the forehead and eyes.
The change should be made five or six
times always finishing with the cold APP
pfication. Dorothy Dexter.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
The Opera "Faust" at Barre Opera House
Dec. IS.

Every once in while, and not any
too often, our music loving theatre pat
rons are afforded an opportunity OF
hearing opera. Most of the time, how.
ever, the operas presented are rather
too cumbersome to meet the approval
of the masses; that is to say, the music
OF grand opera. is as a rule, just a little
above the heads of the class of people
who attend the theatre frequently for
the sake of diyersion--hence, the an
nouncement that Faust will be sung in
English at the Barre opera house, matt.

no little pleasure.

organization composed of such we'll

VIII He Steal the Plank2

| One of the most practical methods
in practical politics is that of rniding
lumber yard. While this way of at
tanning or keeping power was by no
means invented by the thinnest living
ex. president, il was perfected by him.
When he saw popular plank in the lum-
Der pile from which rival party planned
its platform. he stole il away and made
speeches about it and, finally, embodied
il in message to Congress.
Signs are not wanting that this same
method will be put TO use by the presi-
dent. Prominent insiders OF his party
declare that he has his eye upon the
tariff plank. now in the possession of the
other party. IL is intimated from
Washington that he left the tariff out
of his annual message in order TO em-
phasize il later in special message.
just how he win do this is not known.
He may commend an expansion of the
federal trade commission SO that il will
cover the tariff lie may ask for a
special tariff commission, says one cor
respondent, TO be composed of non.par.
tisan experts. That he viii do one or
the other Is highly probable.
Undoubtedly such a move would be
good politics. IL would deprive the
party Of the opposition Of its oldest and
most cherished battle cry. Many who
this year returned 20 the Republican
party because they did not like the
present tariff would al least glance with
favor toward party which had achieved
a tariff commission.
The really important point. however.
Is the strength Of the country and not
the strength Of the president. Until,
from one source or another. the country
IA given a tariff commission. its indus
tries viii be al the mercy Of the scicnti-
Dc tariffs Of other great industrial ma

An exquisite afternoon gown COM
bining crepe, Georgette, taffeta and
chiffon, all in the color known as
wistaria, might be just as pretty de-
veloped in others of the fashionable
colors. But it could not be prettieT.
In a season when n is almost be-
wildered by the diversity of style here
Is a gown to swear by. 1t is excel
lent in lines AMI composition and it
Is adorably refined.
The moderately wide skirt is laid
In plaits about the waist at the sides
and back, with the front left plain.
The plaits are not stitched down, en-
cept at the waist line, where the skirt
Is joined to a plain blouse of chiffon.
A very wide border of ~taffeta, finished
with a three-inch hem, is set on at the
bottom. Above this, at an interval. of
three inches, a second band of taffeta
appears. 1t Is about four inches wide
and finished with a narrow machine
stitched hem at each edge.
The sleeves of chiffon are cut full
at the top and narrowed from the
elbow down. They are long and close
fitting about the wrist, terminating in
The Penn's Grove record., 1915-11-05

a small shaped cuff piped at the end
with the taffeta. A narrow taffeta
band combine; them at the wrist, and
they wrinkle along the arm in a way
that is very soft and pleasing to the
eye.
The collar is a band of taffeta en-
bellished with a simple pattern in en-
broidery. This embroidery reappears
on the ~over-bodice of taffeta at the
waist line.
The over-bodice is a seamless model
which fastens at the back, where it
narrows to a wide girdle with ends
that make soft, hanging loops. Its
edges are finished with a narrow pip
ing of the taffeta.
No gown could present more useful
features to the needlewoman who is
considering the remodeling of a last
years dress. Narrow skirts may be
cut up into borders and landings to
use on the crepe or satin or light wool
fabric for this years skirt. And from
last years bodice, by one of the sew
eral jumper patterns to be had of pat
tern companies, an o~ver-bodice for
this years gown may be made.

In neckwear the introduction of
black velvet or black satin, with sheer
white fabrics, has brought about some
very beautiful novelties. Many of
these are in the effect of the choker
collars, like those SO fashionable on
coats and cloth gowns. Others open
at the front in a narrow v, like those
shown in the picture.
The high-necked models give oppor-
tunity for a becoming management of
lines to adapt the collars to either the
long or short neck. In me model,
called the 'Brinkley," in honor of the
famous Nell, there is a high collar Of
black satin laid in irregular folds and
wired to stay in place. 1t is heightened
into points at the front, and these
points extend below the line of the
neck. This satin band opens at the
front in a v, in which the points do
not quite meet at the bottom. 1t over
laps a crushed band of very sheer or
candle which extends across the front
space. A full jabot of the organize.
with woven-in border and hemstitched

There is nothing more charming than

that, with all the evidence of shattered
