Showing on Border Deem
ed Unfortunate in View
of Reorganization Bill.
PRESIDENT TO SIGN
MEASURE SHORTLY
116 Texas Guardsmen Who Re-
fused 10 Take Oath Will BE
Court Martialled.

Washington, May %. Failure OF the
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona mill
tia on the border and General Fun
ston's repeated demands for more
troops are causing the Adr inistration
considerable worry. Complete reports
of the militia troubles have not YET
been received from General Funston
but the War Department has a general
idea Of what they will be.
The principal cause OF worry is that
the army bill just passed by Congress
and now ready for the Presidents sig
nature contains liberal allowances for
the militia in the way of increases and
pay. Il is considered unfortunate that
demonstration of national guard IN
efficiency should have come at TINS
time.
With practically every available regl-
ment of the regular army on the Dor
der or in Mexico. there is no choice.
IL Funston is to have more men. but to
send militia or further deplete the
coast artillery. The Administration is
unwilling TO do either. To take more
coast artillery companies from the for
tifcations would leave them in an al
most wholly defenceless position, while
to call out the national guard in
greater numbers would only give new
opportunity for demonstrating ITS IN
efficiency.
The War Department plans to make
a test Of the cases of ll6 members OF
the Texas National Guard who refused
to take the mastering oath. They Will
be tried by court martial, it is under
stood. though under the existing law
the government can do no more than
fine them. after which they are exempt
from Federal service.
President Wilson to-day began con-
sideration Of the army reorganization
bill. He expects TO sign 1t within a
few days. He discussed features OF 1t
to-day with Chairmen Hay and Cham
berlain of the House and Senate Mill
tary committees.
REPRESENTATIVE Hay told the Presi-
dent the army appropriation bill would
be ready for the House later this week.
II will carry approximately $4,000
600. an increase Of 50,000,0 900 over last
years bill.
General W. +. Harvey, commanding
the District OF Columbia National
Guard. asked the President, in view OF
the national guard features Of the new

A Suggestion

However light be your ex-
penditure for Silverware, do
not consider the source OF
its origin lightly
Remember that in silver
ware. as in many things,
where it comes from has
much to do with tUhdt it is.
Consider quality - and its
silverNare equivalent, which
is GOrham.
Make your Silvenyare a per-
manent investment some
thing too substantial for
time and use to eftace.
So many things deteriorate
and are in constant need of
renewal or repair, that a COL
lncfiOn Of fine SilVerWare.
which survives a lifetime OF
use without the need of
either, is a source of graft
fcatiOn and pride.
Finally, give your choice all
the latitude in the world -
the Gorham selections are
expressly designed for that
purpose.

A brilliant %headdress. which may do
duty as a dance cap, or for theater
wear. is all made up of sparkle and
midnight blackness. Banks Of rhine
stones, with black malines and narrow
velvet ribbons, are the means by
which the starry sky is translated into
a bit of headwear for the brow OF
beauty. There is no getting away
from the suggestion of the night sky
which this fascinating cap sings into
the mind.
One of the advantages Of caps made
like the one pictured above is that
they soften the severity of the most
popular Of this seasons coiffures. This
couture leaves the brow uncovered
and reserves its nuffiness for the hair
about the ears. 1t is wonderfully youth.
full looking, which accounts, perhaps,
for its fiourishing in the face of the
fact that its severity is often unbe-
coming. But a band of narrow velvet
ribbon about the brows. or a small cap
worn with it, recompenses the brow
for the absence of softly curling hair.
There are several beautiful coiffures
for those who cannot or will not wear

IMPORTANCE OF THE ALLEY
Writer Shows How II May Be Main
tanned With Great Advantage
to the Community.

THE objections made to alleys are.
first, that the ground canno be af-
forded for this use: second. that the
expenditure necessary to pave, clean,
police and light an alley system is not
warranted" says a correspondent Of
the Chicago Daily News. These OBJ
jections have as their basis the ques-
ton of expense only. AS to the first.
it is my belief that the area set apart
for alley purposes is better utilized
than that taken for any part of the lot
itself. and is second only in importance
to that portion Of the ground area
needed for the street, which, we may
remark is often of unnecessary width.
Admitting that alleys in many cases
are at present a marked nuisance for
lack of proper maintenance, l can only
urge the necessity that they be paved
as a prerequisite to proper cleaning.
That they demand lighting and POI
licing is Of curse evident. but this
expense is much less in the case Of
alleys extending directly through the
square than those which have Offsets
or bends in this course.
For the safeguarding of light and
air in city blocks in our own day and
for the preservation Of these essen
tials of sanitation in the days that are
to come, let us stimulate an apprecia-
ton OF the benefits conferred by alleys
and by providing suitable equipment
and adequate care minimize their dis.
advantages

WORK OF MAINTAINING ROADS
People in Many States Spending Much
Money for Improvement, but
Overlook Needed Care.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the importance of maintenance in con
nection with the work Of improving
the roads. The people in nearly all
the states are filed with enthusiasm
for road improvement and are spend.
ing m sums of money in the
construction of superb roads: and yet
almost without exception they are
making little provision to care for the
roads after they are built. This is
true not only in the various counties,
but under many Of our state highway
departments.
To maintain the roads in good con.
dition year after year requires a on
siderable annual outlay, but this out
lay Is infinitely less than the loss which
must fall upon the people eventually
ii they allow their roads to go to utter
ruin. The thing for all advocates of
good roads to do is to urge continuous,
systematic maintenance and the set
ting aside every year of IN amount per
mile estimated by the engineer in
charge to be sufficient for the proper
maintenance Of. the road-a course
which must make for economy and
efficiency.

DECORATING A GIRLS ROOM
Furnishings Should Be Kept Simple
and Of Such Material That They
May Be Easily Cleaned.

The decorations and furnishings in
a girls room should be kept simple.
The curtains. hangings, dresser scarfs
and pin-cushiOns. even the toilet ar
tic'es, should all be of such material
that they may be cleaned easily.
Thin, sheer materials make the
daintiest lovers for dressers and ia.
bles. while the side curtains may be
OF heavier crCtonne or linen over thin
white muslin. Toilet articles of Gel
luloid are in better taste than those
of heavily embossed, plated silver.

as any floor covering. and they come
in lovely cOlOrs. You may sew the
rags and have the rugs woven to or

plain. striped or lowered paper. or
tinted, or even painted, in a clear, fax
tone. Plain ceilings are always most
restful, and if figured walls are pres

plain also.

NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH.

1T is not altogether for purely eco
monte reasons that industrial con-
Germs oppose drinking Oh the part Of
their employees" says President Glib
son of the Chicago Pressed Steel COM
pany. THE average employer Is
greatly interested in the welfare of
his work-people. He wants to see
them prosperous and happy. He also
wants to get the largest possible re-
turns in his business and there is no
conflict between these two aims.
Whatever improves the physical. men,
tai and moral conditions of workmen
also increases their efficiency and SO
brings in greater profits to the en-
ployer."

NJ doubt exists in the minds of the
members that a federal aid law soon
will be passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan or
bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be-
III past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved inadequate, but because the &C.
tlvity Of the government would EN-.
phasize the importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden of eX-
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi-
dents would contribute two.thirds Of
the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside
or incorporated cities and villages. no
opposition has been heard to it on
the ground that it would place all un-
just burden on the city resident, who,
while only indirectly benefited, appre-
ciates the value of good roads to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.
