All the feminine world is running
after stripes, land those who weave
hats of straw have governed them
selves accordingly. Wide-brimmed sun
hats and midsummer sailors are Of
fered in stripes ranging from quiet
black and white to the most vivid of
orange, green, red and blue contrasts.
For street and sports wear these hats
with woven-in stripes offer more in the

Where Artists Live,

d. Over on the West side, in Green
wich village, is Abingdon square
which in popular parlance is as big as
"a minute" The square is at Eighth
avenue and Hudson street, and in spite
of it's size, has a double record. 1t is
listed not only as park, but as a
playground. In this quaint little cor
ner of Greenwich village the memory
is kept alive of Charlotte Warren, a
New York girl, daughter of Sir Peter
Warren, and Susanna de Lancey
Charlotte was the oldest daughter OF
this union, and married Willoughby,
earl of Abingdon. The countess OF
Abingdon's name was also attached to
the long-vanished Abingdon road, also
called Love lane, which ran westward
from Broadway, practically on the
lines of the present Twenty-firsf
street. Abingdon square is in the
heart of that section Of the city still
known as Greenwich village. Nova
days it is very similar to the Latin
quarter of Paris and is the living place
of artists and writers.-New York Cor
respondent Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Future Supply of Gasoline.

When the quantity of petroleum
that can be obtained from the oil wells
of the country begins to show signs OF
diminution there will still be virtu-
ally inexhaustible source of supply. 1t
is the shale beds of Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming. The United States geo.
logical survey estimates that in Colo
RADIO alone there is sufficient shale, IN
beds three or more feet thick, to yield
2O,OOO,OO0,000 barrels of crude Oil,
from which at least 2,00O,0OO,OOO bar
rels of gasoline can be- extracted
Bituminous shale is a clayey, faky
rock that contains hydrocarbons or
bituminous materials. Heat changes
them into crude oil, gas and ammonia
The refined oil yields about ten per
cent of gasoline, 35 per cent Of kero-
sene and considerable quantity OF
paraffin. In Scotland they have ex-
tracted oil from shale for more than
fifty years, but the average quantity
Of oil recovered from u ton of shale
is much less than the amount our own
shales would yield. The retail price
of gasoline is now higher than it has
ever been before. According to gov
eminent figures, the total yearly out
put is about 63,OOO,OOO barrels, and, as
it is estimated that only about 9'4,-
100000 barrels can be produced from
the present sources, there is little
prospect that the price will come
down.-Youth's Companion.

pr.vers in British Parliament.

The chaplain who opens the daily
sessions of the British house Of COM
mons appears always In white silk
robes and white kid gloves. He enters
the chamber with the speaker and each
bows twice to the house as they pro-
coed TO the table. Then, as they stand
together, the speaker on the right, the
chaplain reads the special prayers APP
pointed for the occasion, the members
also standing. When he has finished
the chaplain retires, walking back
ward and bowling as he leaves the
chamber. AS he passes out an attend
ant calls, prayers are over and the
house proceeds to the transaction OF

PRENTICE BARBER HAS HOPE
Lad From the Country Whom Shops
Patrons Fear to
Trust.

Perhaps he is 25 years old-he looks
to be about 16. From seven in
the morning until nine in the evening,
barring time off for meals, he stands
at the extreme end of line Of white
coated men, usually honing razor
or gazing off vacantly into space. The
oretically, he is a barber. Practi-
cally, says writer in the Indianapo-
lis News, he has not yet achieved that
position in life. Daily patrons have
never seen him welding razor on
anything but his strop or hone. Every
day hundreds of customers visit the
shop. Business men, clerks, street
car conductors, wagon drivers and
others enter the barber shop doors
during the days course, but their ac-
lions are substantially alike. After
taking off coats and hats they gaze
up and down the line of waiting bar
bers, select the one nearest or pick
out an old favorite without SO much
as glance at the youth on the end.
But If, unfortunately, all the other bar
bers are busy, the youthful wielder Of
the razor is more closely inspected.
Usually the prospective patron eyes
him steadfastly for a moment and then
sadly, slowly and solemnly, but finally,
shakes his head and sits down in a
far chair to wait until another barber
is unoccupied. 1t may be cowardice,
it may be only wise caution. But all
seem to be affected alike with dis
trust of the mild and rather wistful-
faced boy with a razor poised in his
hand and hopeful expression on his
countenance. His fingers may be
deft, his touch light and sure and
his professional skill above criticism
in every respect, but nobody seems
willing to test his expertness. The
potentialities Of razor, those great,
red hands and that mild, absent-mind-
ed face and look of youthful trustful-
ness are too great. Meanwhile the
light SENS to die out of the young
BARRIERS eyes and they become sad
der with each appraisal in which he
is judged and found wanting. Nobody
knows with what fond dreams he
left little country town not long
ago, after a lesson or two, perhaps,
in the village barber shop, and came
to the city to earn an honest living
and become some day-oh, doubtful
hope-a head barber! In him there
may be the making of great bar
Der; perhaps already he has attained
a rare degree of excellence. If so his
praises remain unknown and unsung.
In sight of that tranquil face and those
awkward hands in such close proxim-
ity to a dangerous-looking razor men
lose their hardihOod.

materials are manufactured in all the
fashionable colors and in white, and
make as smart coats as much more
costly and less durable stuffs.
The coat pictured is good example
of cotton corduroy in a practical and
stylish garment There is nothing in
the way of decoration On it except ma
chine stitching, which outlines the big
patch pockets and the collar, cuffs
and belt, as we'll as the front edges
and hem at the bottom. 1t is pro-
vided with a high collar which she
may or may not wear buttoned close up
under the chin, now that the athletic
girl goes in for protecting her complex
ion against, the sun. The coat fastens
with bone buttons and buttonholes.

except at the neck has an adjustable

In the picture black and white sail
or with wide brim and rounding crown
is shown, in which the stripes OF
white, are well managed. 1t is OF
hemp braid and the brim has a slight
upward curve and its edge bound with
black velvet. The trimming is odd
and new. A collar of white silk with
fringed edges, is finished with the
simplest of bows at the back. A mar
row band of black velvet ribbon placed
over it, provides the always admired
brilliant contrast of black and white
for midsummer, and three small Jet
balls, placed on the bow, add spark
ling touch. A hat of this kind looks
we'll with any sort of summer street
dress.
