A FAD has developed among fas- Al tidious women for making their own towels. They buy for the pur- pose fine French birdseye and French huck for their own personal use and German huck for general family use. Of course the fancy towels which are lace trimmed and embroidered are not honestly practical. The hemstitched end towels are apt to become ragged while the middle is still good.
 The homemade towels are made full size with narrow hand hemmed hems with a linen tape loop at the corner.

Small simple initials are worked also in the corner. They are very practical and, being fne are exceedingly pleasant to use Some women \embroider the ends above the hems like the BuEgar- ian towels in little floral borders in the colors of the rooms in which they are to be used.

At the Lyric.

"False Colors" a drama written and
produced by Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Small
ley, who also take the leading parts,
played to good business at the Lyric
Thursday night. The story relates the
rather improbable tale of an actor who
was SO grief stricken at the loss of his
young wife and baby that he went into
exile for eighteen years, pining away
on a desert isle. Meanwhile the
daughter has grown up and is being i'll
treated by the people who are sup
posed to be caring for her. They are
using the money her father sends from
the desert isle to bring up their SON.
a worthless youth, who spends his
substance in riotous living. Father
comes back from the island. finds the
daughter has grown up to be beautiful
and resolves to take her under his
wing after ALL The titles indicates
that nearly every one In the cast plays
under False Co1ors," that is, pretends
to do something that in reality he does
not do. The acting of the Smalleys is
excellent. and Courtenay Foote, as the
worthless son, is also very good. The
production is deliberately and complete
ly staged, and the whole picture pre-
sents an interesting study in deceit

WORKING PLANS EXPECTED
SOON FROM NORTHWESTERN
Engineering Department Of Mnne-
apoiis 4 ST. Louis 10 Planning to
Build viaduct by contract-Wiil Not
Do Work ItseIf-Revision Of Yards
to Accompany Improvements.

The engineering department Of the
Northwestern is expected to have
finished soon the detailed plans for
the South Third avenue and to turn
the plans over to the minneapolis &
st Louis. It is the intention Of Chief
Engineer r. G. Kenly, Of the M. s. st.
L., to let contract for the fabrication
and erection Of the viaduct soon after
the Northwestern's plans are in hand.
This was the news Of the progress Of
the viaduct that was brought to this
city today by General Solicitor w. H.
Bremner who accompanied Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager c. w. Hunt
ington. The erection of the viaduct
will make it possible and necessary for
the M. & st. L. to revise and enlarge
at least part of it's yards. General
Manager Huntington is planning for
these changes which brought him here.
Plans to Be Finished Soon.
General Solicitor Bremner said that
the NJ. & st. L., understood that the
working plans for the viaduct were
being made now by the Northwestern,
and that it was quite probable, he
understood, that the engineering de-
partment of the NJ. & st. L., would
build the viaduct by contract instead
of attempting to build it itself.
"The M. & ST. L. wants the viaduct,
the Northwestern wants it, and we are
going to build it without delay" said
Mr.. Bremner. You can be assured
that as soon as our engineering de-
partment has the plans from the
Northwestern there will be no more
delay than might be expected on a
project Of that size"
Were Before Senate Committee.
General Manager Huntington and
General Solicitor Bremner were of the
party of railroad officers who appeared
before the senate and house commit
tees on railroads in presenting the
railroads case for the passage of the
2-cents mile passenger rate law. Mr..
Huntington was one of the witnesses.
When being examined by Mr.. Brem-
ner, Mr. Huntington said that the pas
senger earnings Of the NJ. & st. l..
during the year 1914 were only 81
cents per train mile.

greens Plated For the Center Of
Each Subdivision Of the Lawn.

Superintendent s. w. Rubee, of Riv-
erside cemetery, whom the board OF
supervisors employed year ago to
landscape the court house square, will
put men at work in few weeks beauti-
flying the court house grounds. The
work will be begun as soon as the
weather is best suited for planting
shrubbery and trees. The blue print OF
the plan for landscaping the ground,
which Mr. Rubee has furnished the
supervisors, provides for an adequate
and artistic scheme of planting.
Important among it's features, be-
cause of the demand for parking space
for automobiles in the business center,
is the widening of the drive that curves
UP to the rear of the court house.
Furnish Much More Space.
Mr.. Rubee's plan provides for widen
ing this drive to thirty EIGHT feet.
curling it, and laying sidewalk along
the curb line on the north side of the
drive. 1t is the plan OF the supervisors
at least to hard surface and perhaps
pave this drive. 1t is Intended that
automobiles shall be parked along the
north curb by backing them against
the curbing. Thus parked about forty
cars could find space and still the drive
would be kept open for traffic.
Evergreens to Be Used.
The plan for the planting provides
for d generous use OF eVergreens or
spruce In general way a group OF
these evergreens is to be planted in the
center of each of the subdivisions of
the lawn, as divided by the walks The
cannon are to be screened by groups OF
the trees.
In the curves of the walks, along the
foundation of the building, and in the
parkings, are to be planted groups OF
shrubbery. All of the large trees, with
the possible exception of one in the
driveway that may be cut down, will
be retained.
This movement to beautify the
square has resulted already in the SUI
pervisors ordering off the parking the
pop corn wagons that once had stands
there.

THE TOLL OF WAR
BY Daniel C. Wadhams
Thousands of men, in the cloak of
death,
Have fell on the battlefield.
How many more, must pass away
Before some power will yield.
Thousands of women in anguish and
fear
Wait for news from the front
OF the ones they hold dear.
Thousands of homes laid desolate
and bare
In countries that once were
So prosperous and fair,
Thousands of men marching on to
their doom -
Let us pray God that the battle ends

Mr.. w. C. Massey of Lake Weir,
who is in the city attending the re-
union, called at the Star Office and
showed us a letter from his son, Mr..
G d. Massey, in which he states that
he will in a few days depart for a
years journey around the world.
Como, as he is known by his Ocala
friends, has for some years been in
the head office of the Equitable Life
Insurance Company in New York. He
goes from New York to London,
thence to Capetown, South Africa, on
to Australia, China, Japan, and the
other principal countries of Asia. Mr..
Massey spent his boyhood days in
Ocala and held several responsible
positions here before going into the
insurance business. His rapid rise in
the Equitable Office has been a source
of much qualification to his many
friends here, who will wish him a
pleasant voyage.
