sentiment to avoid making the nominee
the campaign issue and to select some
one on whom republicans and progress
sives can agree so the word will &c
out to h country that the party has
been rehabilitated by the uniting OF fac
tons which split 1t four years ago. 1t
is realized that of all the possibilities
Colonel Roosevelt has the greatest per-
sonal following, but at the ann time
he has the most enemies. The republic
can leaders charged that many voters
would be alienated for one or more OF
several reasons.
The conviction that Colonel Roosevelt
would not be able to reunite the party
has led to general declarations in favor
OF some strong ma whose nomination
would be a signal to h country that
n factional strife had been ended.
The situation respecting both Roose-
welt and Hughes contains all the neces-
sary elements to produce a dark horse
candidate, but there are SO many strong
men among the favorite sons that the
possibility OF the selection CT some M
yet unmentioned is lninimized.
Not Lambastina Colonel.
All forces are careful not to express
hostility to Colonel Roosevelt or to a
anything which would make it impos-
the party. 1t Is recognized that Colonel
Roosevelt can prevent the nomination
or any one or two men who may me
urged by republican leaders, but that
should he attempt to go further than
this and, as some say, scratch the
whole ticket" the convention would be
very likely to proceed without giving
further consideration to his views.
In saying that Roosevelt could pre-
vent the nomination Of any one or two
men, Justice Hughes is not excepted,
but those who are for him, profess to
hall ~ F-xa
as to a in advance that Hughes was
unacceptable If his nomination seemed
certain.
Want Aid, Not Dictation.
The attitude of men taking this po-
sition is summed UP by their state
ments that they want Colonel Roose-
velt's help, but not his dictation."
One of the outstanding features Of
this convention Is the absence OF COM
manding leadership by he men who
compose the old guard. They are here
and on the ground, but they seem to
have no definite control Of affairs.
There is a conspicuous lack of what
every convention has known as "fixers''
who come with planks for the platform
all prepared and assurances that they
were going in.
Regardless of the action h republi-
car and progressive factions finally
take. Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, chair
man Of the progressive national COM
mittee, who arrived here today, said
the party organization should be main
tanned. He declined to predict the pro-
bable action of the progressives. Mr..
Murdoch said he was not a candidate
for reelection as national committee
chairman and would endeavor to be re-
leased from that position.
George W. Perkins, of New York,
recognized spokesman for the progress
sive party issued a statement today
reiterating that he was for harmony
with the older party, but not for har-
mony at any price.

Senator Cummins' headquarters at

Large numbers Of Iowans arrived in
Chicago on the morning trains and
went to work energetically for Cum
Minis. The members of the Iowa dele
cations in the House arrived and re-
ported at once to Senator Kenyon and
State Chairman Rawson. Despite many
stories put out by the managers Of
other candidates that the Cummins
delegates would not stick, the Cum
minis leaders said it would be found
when theb battle was over the Cummins
delegates had stood their ground better
than most of the others.
While no final first ballot figures
are given. it is estimated Senator Cum
Minis will have between 100 and 125
votes on first ballot. Disposition of
LaFollette men in Wisconsin and
North Dakota to go to Cummins, on
second choice, has encouraged the
Cummins leaders.
Tribune Headquarters, Chicago, June
5.-Senator Kenyon, chairman Of the
Iowa delegation which is presenting
the candidacy of Senator Cummins,
sale today:
THE supporters Of Senator Cummins
are confident that harmony in this
convention a be best accomplished by
the nomination Of a western man, and
that Cummins is the most logical can
didate of all in the field. His nominal
ton will leave no sore spots and the
party under his leadership could be
united to certain victory In the fall
Senator Curnmins is right on the great
questions 10Y before the American
people, and everybody knows where he
stands. They know the worth of the
man. Our instructed delegations have
assured us that they will stand by our
candidate to the end and we are as
sured of much additional second
choice strength, so that our delegates
are not even talking OF second choice.
We believe that when the break comes
among all the candidates in the field
the logical selection of a candidate like
Senator Cummins will swing the on
weldon to him"
Kenyon had a Ions conference with
George w. Perkins today. His state
ment was given out later. The Iowa

LINER SUNK BY MINE
CUNAI2DER ALAUNIA SINKS IN
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Two Hundred and Fifty Passengers
Were Landed at Falmouth-Four
of Crew Missing.

New York, Oct. 21.-The Cunard
liner Alaunia, bound from New York
to Falmouth and London, was sunk on
Thursday by a mine in the English
channel.
All of the 243 passengers on the liner
were landed at Falmouth before the
vessel struck the mine, according to Of
ficials of the Cunard line here. -Four
members OF the crew were lost. News
of the destruction of the Alaunia was
received by the Cunard line in a cable
gram.
Passenger Superintendent P. w.
Whatmough of the steamship line said
that advices had been received that all
of the Alaunia's passengers had been
landed at Falmouth. He gave out this
statement:
"All of the Alaunia's passengers
were landed at Falmouth on Tuesday
morning. Some freight had also been
taken from that liner at that port. We
had previously received a cablegram
giving US this information. The Alau-
MIA was on her way from Falmouth to
the Sulley docks in London to unload
the balance of her freight when she

FROCk FOR CHILD
FLUFFY SKIRT or BLUE SILK
NULL EASY TO MAKE.
Horne Dressmaker Will Find It No
hard Task to Design and Make
Ready the Garment De-
scribee. Below.

Like flower of spring is this fluffy
skirt of blue silk null trimmed with
bias folds of blue taffeta.
Every woman who can sew at all
knows that a ruffled skirt is the cas-
lest to make. A plain foundation is
ured to the length on the child; then
ruffles are stitched around the skirt,
the upper ruffle forming the line for
those that follow.
1t will be well to fit the skirt lining
and then rip the basting at the belt,
because ruffles are more easily stitched
on the lining when it is smooth.
In this instance the ruff1es must have
the bias folds stitched on the right
side, then turned over and hemmed
down on the under side. By applying
the folds in this manner the stitching
will not show.
A mother, perhaps. is unwilling to
take the trouble involved in applying
these folds on scallops. The work, of
course, is somewhat tedious. In such
case it is a simple matter to hem the
ruffies or make them of embroidery.
For ordinary wear the wise mother
will make this dress of wash mate
rails which may be frequently laun-
dered.
1t is to be remembered that little
girls may wear china silk and sport
silk as well as silk null, but chiffons
and taffetas are for the "grown-ups."
The only variation from this rule is
in the matter of taffeta coats, which

Easy to Trim Handkerchief.

Everyone likes to use dainty and
good-looking handkerchiefs, but they
cannot be bought cheaply, and often
are beyond the purse. Cheaply
trimmed handkerchiefs are in very bad
taste, and it is far better to use sim
pie ones than resort to them.
However, with little trouble every
girl could make herself collection of
nice handkerchiefs at about half the
cost of buying them.
White sales should be watched for,
then good linen handkerchiefs can be
had cheaply; these usually have lit
tie hemstitched border, so are all ready
for further decoration.
There are various ways of trimming
handkerchiefs; for those who crochet
a tiny border of crochet done in very
fine cotton looks sweet, or an edging
of tatting; this latter is seen on some
of the most expensive models in the
shops.
On one or two Of the linen handker-
chiefs a simple pattern could be traced
in one corner and worked in broiderie
Anglaise; this looks most effective. For
dainty wear handkerchiefs, buy some
fine lawn by the yard and cut up into

Halls Return of ShaWIs.

The news from the fashion world
Is that shawls will come back, espe-
cially the old paisley shawls that our
grandmothers wore and looked so
well in, in the sixties and before. 1t
will be a refreshing sight to see the
women wear shawls again. Well
bet it will make them handsomer, if
it could be so, than the loose and
disjointed coats they have been wear
ing. Why, some of these coats have
been rights; and if it were not for
the women themselves, they would
have scared off the populace. We
hope the shawl will return. But we
have been wondering if the fashion
will include the men in it's sway. Many
of our readers will remember when
men wore shawls. They were indeed
a luxury-so handy and warm. They
were generally of a light gray color,
but many men affected stripes and
seemed very proud of their appear
ance. Our recollection is that the fash
ion didn't last long. The men got
fidgety and returned to coats. But we

New Skirts of Interest.

Plated skirts showing panels Of
plaits at front and back or at the sides
accomplish the required fare without
ungainly bulk. This type of skirt
promises well, especially the box-plait-
ed variety, which will be in vogue this
fall. Now there is new skirt which
interests rather than pieases. 1t is
barrel-shaped and encircles with many
bands, which gives it the resemblance
which occasions the name.
This is slightly different from the
skirt with a flare at the bottom and
the wired hip. Another trimmed skirt
is called the lampshade. 1t consists Of
alternate layers Of taffeta puffs thinly
wired and wider puffs of net or chif-
fon. The whole resembles most accu-
rately the silk lampshade of days be-
fore the arts and crafts era. In the
same line of pretty summer frocks are
costumes made of cotton wolfe or or
candle, trimmed with lovely girdles of
silk and ribbon. Wide ribbons swathe
the waistIine and are sometimes used
to make panniers. Sometimes two col
ors are twisted to form the girdle and

Smart Frocks of Serge.

All during the summer smart one
piece frocks of serge have been worn
by modish women. Usually such frocks
We're fashioned from serge and chiffon,
serge and taffeta or serges and Georg-
cite crepe.
One of the smartest of the new fall
serge models is of navy blue combined
with soiree silk in a beautiful shade Of
purple. The purple silk trims the
bodice and cuffs and forms a band at
the lower part Of the skirt, which is
edged with fittings of the serge.
This model shows no curve at the
waist line, but hangs uncompromising-
" straight as many of the new frocks
do. Then there is the other extreme
-frocks with honed and scanned round
waists. which are likely to be too rad
ical for all save the daring few. And
in evidence also are radical bodices
without seams and bones, but shaped
to show the curves Of the figure and

FORTUNATE CITY IS BOISE
Natural Supply of hot Water Used :,
Furnish Heat for Houses and
Public Buildings.

Boise, the capital of Idaho. is the
only city in the world to use natural
hot water to supply heat to houses
public buildings and business blocks
the Youths Companion observes. Wa.
ter at temperature of III degrees
Fahrenheit comes from wells in the
low foothills of the Boise mountains
just outside of the city, and for %
years it has all been used for heating
purposes.
There are two wells, each IS inches
in diameter and 400 feet deep. The
natural flow is 100000 gallons a day.
Centrifugal pumps have increased the
supply to 100000 gallons every day.
The water is pumped into n tank or
reservoir, thence distributed to the
users in the city. One hundred and
thirty-nine buildings use it for all pur.
poses, including heat, and 100 other
buildings use it for bathing, washing
and cooking purposes.
Engineers have tried to increase the
flow If water, and they think that If
they could tap the main subterranean
stream they would get enough hot wa
ter to supply all the needs of the city.
The heat is so intense that men can
work only IS feet below the surface,
and then only in ten-minute shifts.
These hot springs were we'll known
by the Indians and they made the spot
where Boise now stands a sort of win
ter resort for the Snake and Bannock
tribes.
