Fans Becoming More Popular.

The big season for fans has usually
occurred during the fall and winter.
There has been a steadily increasing
use of these articles during the sum-
mer, however, and indications are
strong that this season fans will be in
greater evidence than ever.
AS an accessory for evening use they
are meeting with particular favor and
will be freely in evidence at evening
gatherings at seaside and country re-
sorts. For graduations and confirma-
lions during the present month and
July they will be especially popular.
Ostrich, as heretofore, will be greatly
in the lead. Some very effective num-
bers in this style have been brought
out to retail at from 81 up. The ia
vored colors are pink, light blue, maize,
Copenhagen and old rose. White, too,
is very good.
The sticks, either Of imitation ivory
or of bone, are decorated with span
giles OF they are embellished with hand
painted flowers or conventional de-
signs.
Fans intended for children's and
misses use are feature of the pres
ent showings. These are made OF py'
roxylin and have an average spread OF
71h inches. The sticks are perforated
in fancy designs, and in some cases are
hand-painted.
Many of these fans have a flexible
bracelet of pyroxylin attached to the
fan by a satin ribbon. In color the
ribbon generally matches the design
painted on the fan. They retail at sc
cents up.
A recent novelty in a combination
fan and vanity bag is in two-pocket
effect One pocket is intended to hold
small fan. The second pocket, IN
one side of which is inserted a mir
ror, holds a powder pun.

THE 1916 MINE OUTPUT
is RECORD IN v. S.
Half Years Metal Production Shows
the Result of Large Demand
for Metals.

The output of American mines for
1916, as seen in production for the
first six months of the year, will set
new records, the geological survey
announces. Good prices and an act
i've demand for mineral products, the
statement said, have spurred mine
operators.
Reports from throughout the coun-
try show that soft coal, copper, iron
lead and zinc are being mined in
larger quantities than last year. Gold
production probably will show de-
crease, but silver mines are working
to capacity.
Higher prices and heavy demands
are stimulating the production OF
manganese as never before.
The statement predicted that 1915
will doubtless be the most profit
able year in the history of copper
production to the present time, and
possibly for years to come"
Under the influence of large de
mands and resultant high prices the
production of copper during the last
six months has exceeded that of any
equal period in the history of the
industry.
Prices of copper have averaged
more than 26 cents a pound during
the first six months of this year, the
highest in recent years.
Petroleum production probably will
be the greatest of any year in the
country's history. The quantity mar
keted for the first half of the yea
was 140,000,000 barrels, which, al
though less than the amount market
ed in the first half of 1915, wa
greater than half of the total market
ed throughout the whole of last year
The fact that at the end Of the hal
year production and consumption cas-
of the Rocky mountains were essen
TALLY in balance, said a statement is
sued by the survey, should lowe

14-inch guns, carried by the Pennsyl-
vania class, the new battleships will
