proving those conditions In every sec
ton of the state.
one OF the most marked features
of the survey has been the favorable
attitude Of both officials and the
people Of the places visited. There
has not in single place been tho
slightest disposition to look on the
representatives OF the state health
board as intruders. or as persons who
were meddling In what did not con-
Germ them. on the contrary it has
been from the very first generally rec
ognized that the sole object OF the
state health board and It's representa-
,ives Is to better conditions in the
town ir question. to reduce the sick
ness and death rate. and 10 make the
people healthier. The result has been
cordial cooperation and sympathy.
In almost every case II hns only been
necessary for the representative OF
the state health board to point cut the
unhcalthful condition and how II
could be reme1ied. The individual
concerned or the local officials. as the
case might be. would promise prompt
ly to act upon these recommendation
Moreover, these promises have been
kept.

In many places suggestions by the
state board of health representative
have resulted in orga niZation to ac-
complish results which would be diff
ficult or expensive for individuals.
This was especially the case In the
there was no adequate system for
garbage collection from the business
district. The result was that condl-
tions In and about many OF the stores
were insanitary. IL a merchant want
ed his rubbish and garbage disposed
Of he had to hire n man with team
to do 1t. The result was that II was
done Cnly at long intervals ON the
suggestion OF the board of health rep
iesentative mum Der OF the mer-
chants combined and paid each a
small sum weekly to man with a
team who agreed to make regular
collection trips. The expense to each
merchant under this par Will be
small. yet sanitary conditions will be
greatly improved.
Public IL sympathetic.
This incident was typical of the
manner in which the suggestions of
tho state board OF health were re-
ceivcd. People everywhere are apt
to be careless ana Indifferent about
conditions, net because they 90 not
care about their health. but because
they do not realize the importance OF
hygienic' and sanitary measures and
the fGr-roaching results which they
often have The public in most

SKIRTS TO BE PRACTICAL
New Models Show Some Changes,
Though Designers Have Not Put
Out Anything Extreme.

Plated skirts showing panels OF
plaits at front and back or at the
sides accomplish the required flare
without ungainly bulk. This type of
skirt promises well, especially the
box-plaited variety, which will be in
vogue this fall. Now there is q new
skirt which interests rather than
pleases. 1t is barrel shaped and en-
circled with many bands, which give
it the resemblance which occasions
the name.
This is slightly different from the
skirt with fare at the bottom and
the wired hip. Another trimmed
skirt is called the lamp shade. 1t con-
sists of alternate layers of taffeta
puffs thinly wired and wider puffs Of
net or chiffon. The whole resembles
most accurately the silk lamp shade of
days before the arts and crafts era.
In the same line of pretty summer
frocks are costumes made of cotton
wolfe or Organdie, trimmed with lovely
girdles of silk and ribbon. Wide rib
bons swathe the waistline and are
sometimes used TO make panniers.
Sometimes two colors are twisted to
form the girdle and end of a sash,
while q third color is used for the
knot.

HOLIEST SHRINE I'M MEXICO
1t is the Collegiate Church Of Guada-
Iupe, Which Contains miraculous
Picture.

The Collegiate Church OF Guadalupe,
together with the chapel ON IN ada
cent hill, is the hottest shrine in McXi-
co. 1t stands on the site where the
Virgin is reputed TO have appeared 10
an Indian, Juan Diego, inStructing him
TO take a message to the archbishop
asking that q shrine be built there in
her honor. After appearing TO him
several times, she finally commanded
him to climb to the top of the hill,
where the chapel now stands, but
which had always been barren, and
there to gather a bunch of roses to
take to the archbishop.
This the Indian did but when he un-
folded his serape it was found to con-
tain, so the account runs, miracu-
lousy painted picture of the Virgin.
This picture is now venerated by all
Mexicans and occupies the center of
the altar. The features and the com
plexiOn are those of an Indian prin-
cess.-NatiOnal Geographic Magazine.

PLEA FOR TAILORED SUIT
ils Slim Body and High Rolling Col
lar Become the American Woman
Very Well.

The top coat will be in its glory this
Season That much is settled over
here. The one-piece frock. therefore,
will triumph over the tailored suit, as
far as numbers go. The American
woman. however. is peculiarly fitted
TO wear the tailored suit, and If she
gives Ii up she will make a serious
mistake. The lack of men workers in
France and the garment makers here
produced comparative dearth of
plain coats and skirts.
The suits that have been brought
over. however, are excessively good
looking If woman wears one with
brilliancy she will look like a mini
allure of one OF her ancestors.
Collars are high and rolling. Revers
are large and important. The body
part is slim, such as dandy would
like. and the full peplum falls in vari-
Gus convolutions over the hips.
There is room enough, however, for
several kinds of costumes in the aver
age Americans wardrobe. The one
piece frock is necessity, If one leads
any manner of social life. The top
coat IS lavishly trimmed this year,
when IL is used for ceremonial occa-
sions, and in satin. heavily soutached.
It has reached the apex Of fashion.

S+eam-Driven SeapIanes.

Navy department experiments indi-
cate that steam-driven seaplanes may
solve the motor problem of air naviga-
ton. Many officers believe that only
the question Of getting the weight of
the steam plant down to the lowest
possible figure remains TO be answered
before Il steamer Of the air is con-
structed and tried out.
Steam equipment would guarantee
constancy of power upon which aero
planes depend for stability. Most ac-
cidents to aviatOrs, ii is pointed out,
may be due to failure of motors. Steam
turbines also would provide power far

Linen From Irish Flax.

Some of the fax for the large out
put of linen from Ireland is being
grown in that country since the war;
Previous TO the war large part of the
flax for the Irish linen was grown in
Belgium. The preparation of the flax
is not an agreeable process. The plant
is pulled up by the roots and thrown
into a ditch of water to decay so that
the part needed for the linen may be
easily separated from the remainder.
1t is an odorous process, the smell of
the decaying vegetation enveloping the
country most unpleasantly. Then the
worker, after the decaying process has
reached the proper stage. is often
obliged TO stand knee deep in the water
to work. With the war flax growing
was given up in Belgium and Ireland
is again taking it up.-New York
Times.

Apropos of felt hats. / must record
the fact that "cut felt" hats are an
absolute rage In Paris and also at
Biarritz- writes a correspondent from
the latter place. These hats are "cut
everywhere" The border of the brim
is cut and left without binding; the
only trimming consists of band and
fiat bow of felt with "cut" edges.
"-ese hats are charming In all the
soft neutral tints; pale beige, silver
gray, gray-blue and SO on. Directoire
shapes are being revived, and while
crowns get higher and higher, very
narrow brims are all the fashion.
Nearly all the new sailor shapes in
felt have soft crowns which are clever
ly manipulated to give the impression
of doubie band around the crown.
In some cases wide bands Of black
or dark blue ribbon are introduced,
but the correct thing at the present
moment Is the felt hat trimmed with
fur. Lewis Is showing some very &C.
centric hats I'm his Biarritz establish
ment. This milliner has the courage
of his convictions and such a large
following that almost any model
launched by him becomes popular. In
his showrooms i have seen a good
many directoire toques, with towering
crowns and the narrowest of narrow
brims.
These toques are trimmed with flat
bands of fur; or with lengths of bright
colOred picot ribbons, the latter being
twisted round the high crown and tied
I'm jaunty bows at one side.
White felt hats are now worn with
the thianest and most transparent
dresses, and it is said that white and
pale tinted felt hats will be fashiOIa-
BILE all through the winter.

tailored suits i'm Worth's show rooms
This dressmaker remains true to the
traditions of his house. Nothing &c

The malleablc and ductile tungsten
patented in the United States by q
Budapest metallurgist is prepared by
adding TO fused metallic tungsten
about 2 per cent of boron or boron
nitride The boron so transforms the
metal that it can be worked or drawn
into wire. A suggested explanation Of
the change is that tungsten boride is
formed at the fusing temperature and
that this prevents the formation Of the
