have reserved the right to double or triple up the rooms if it becomes necessary" The same rule will be employed probably at the Auditorium.
 Four hundred rooms have been re- served at the Blackstone for months, the rates ranging from $5 to $1O. No reservations have been allowed for headquarters here.
 Officials smilingly admit that $50 rooms of the Congress are "gone" at $4 a "head;" the La Salle has been asked for 500 rooms at $2.5O and $5 a person. Both have few hundred rooms left which they allege they will hold for their regular guests"
 The Auditorium, officials say, has been entirely sold out. There are four hundred rooms in all, $5 and $1O be- ing asked. Colonel Roosevelt will make his headquarters here, having closed an option on the three upper floors. Other hostelries like the Nor ,.;sor Victoria KaiserhoT Chicago Beach, Stratford and Palmer House have been deluged with applications for lodgings.
 Officials of the Illinois Equal Suf- frage league, who will conduct a mon ster parade coincident with the con- vention, may have to pitch camp on the lake front to accommodate the 25,OOO delegates attending from all over the country.
 They have been refused permission by the park board here to use the municipal pier for lodgings. The women will march from the loop to the Coliseum, the scene of the Re- publican convention, equipped with signs and banners demanding an in- sertion of a plank in the c. o. P. platform for equal suffrage.
 The c. O. P. and the Moose local committees have been busy putting the finishing touches on their prepara- tions for the convention. The Re pubHcans opened their headquarters at the Coliseum this week.
 The building will be decorated in gala fashion. The speakers stand will be in the south end of the build ing. Arrangements have been com pleted to accommodate 11,OOO people.
 The press will occupy the first 700 chairs encircling the speakers plat form. The 9S5 delegates will follow and beyond them will be seated as many alternates. The rear end of the main floor and the balconies will take care of the spectators.
 James B. Preston, head of the press gallery in the Senate, arrived here Monday from Washington and laid out the final plans for the Auditorium Theatre, the stamping ground of the . Progre5sives.
 This building will hold 4,OOO. The speakers chair will be placed on the stage which has been heightened and widened to be able to hold 25O seats for the press in front of the speaker About 800 seats will be embanked in ! the rear and in the wings for spectat-

TO KILL ASPARAGUS BEETLE


During the cutting season the adult
asparagus beetles are around busily
eating holes into the young asparagus
shoots and depositing hundreds of
tiny little eggs on the shoots. These
eggs are dark colored, about one
twen.y-fifth OF An inch long and are
stuck fast on one end 80 they stand
up. These can be easily seen by .
close observer Millions of eggs may
be destroyed when the crop ia being
harvested for market, but the beetles
and their larvae frequently become
very destructive on the late summer
growth.
1t was formerly supposed that 1t was
impractical to check this destruction
because poison sprays would not stick
to the greasy. wirelike leaves and
stems. With the recent developments
In machinery and spray material the
work can be done effectively and eco
nomically. Fifty gallons of the mate
rial Is made by using three pounds Of
arsenate Of lead paste. three pounds
OF fish oil soap to make the solution
stick, and so gallons of water. This Is
applied with a power spray or a bar
rel hand pump.

tured here. The skirt is plain and
moderately full at the hem, with little
fullness at the top, and the coat could
hardly be more simple. Any of the
standard fashion companies have pa
per patterns very like these garments.
Buttons, important items in the fin
ish Of sports coats, are well managed
in the suit illustrated. They are a
larger size than is ordinarily used and
are made of dark composition. They
are set on simulated buttonholes made
of fiat folds of plain ratine, and only
the one on the belt Is of practical use
as a fastening. Snap fasteners do the
actual work of holding the coat fronts
together, and the opening is a little TO
the left of the center.

reference to the suit and the hat worn

sports hats are those of ratine trimmed
with fruits or conventional figures OF

HOLDING CUTWORM IN CHECK
Where Pests Prove Troublesome In
Garden Poison Mixture VIII Be
Found Efficaclous.

CBy j. s. GARDNER, Missouri College Of
Agriculture)
II cutworms prove troublesome in
the garden or cornfield, they can be
held In check with a mixture of 25
pounds OF bran, half a pound OF paris
green or lead arsenate and a quart Of
molasses. The lead arsenate is now
cheaper than the paris green, and
whichever is used should be dissolved
in two gallons OF water, to which the
molasses and ground pulp OF two lem
ons or oranges should be added.
This poison mixture should he scat
tered In the evening in order that it
may stay moist as long as possible, as
the worms refuse to eat it after 1t has
become dry. The addition of the or.
ange or lemon Juice is important in
making it attractive to the worms, but
it is likely to be attractive to tho
chickens and some other farm animals
also with fatal results.

times when she is on dress parade.

on frames of wire, to be bought ready
made. The frame selected is to be
covered with very thin cotton or silk
material. The top Of the crown is coy
cred with a circular piece cut large
enough to extend part way down the
side crown, where it is tackled to the
wires. Next, a bias strip is cut wide
enough to stretch over the under and
upper brim and 1t is sewed to the
wire at the base OF the crown. Finally
bias strip is smoothed about the
side crown, joined at the back and
sewed to wires in the frame This
makes q foundation for the lace or
braid covering.
The hat at the center, after the
frame has been prepared as described,
is covered with narrow val lace ruffies.
The under brim may be faced with
chiffon or crepe in a pale color, fin
lshed with frill Of lace at the edge.
Beginning at the middle of the back
