sports coats, and if they are rightly
worn they will add to the charm Of Tho
summer, but there is always a danger
of such novelties being put to misuse
The tendency to wear sports Clothes
when one does not indulge in sports
has been commented upon in previous
letters. Let us hope we will not see
these distinctly sports and out Of
town hats worn upon the city streets.
Wells are exceedingly interesting.
There is very marked tendency to-
ward the wearing Of lace wells. Hand
some ones are in genuine circular form
to be draped over the hats that are
lightly trimmed. They cannot of
course be worn on the hats of high
trimming but on the low hats thew
drape the face and head both in
novel and sometimes interesting wav.
but these lace wells are among the
features of the revived styles to which
the opening paragraph refers and they
must be looked upon with care and
chosen with discretion If they are to
make good effect. Draped wells are
noted too and some very attractive
hats are shown with handsome lace
wells draped over the crowns and fall
ing down to form drapery at the back,
the folds being held by ornamental
pins, while the veil serves only as
trimming and is not designed to cover
the face. For the small hats, wells
that fit more closely must be chosen.
The tendency is all toward very fine
mesh with occasional designs worked
in heavy threads. We see leaves and
flower forms and various figures OF the
sort. They are pretty in the hand.
they are attractive now and then when
they are we'll worn but In a great
many instances, the effect is weird.

means but the simple designs often
are the most effective and the most de-
sirable. Any woman can embroider
such an under gown as the one shown
here with very little demand upon
time and without any exceptional
knowledge. With the coming of warm
weather there is always a need for
gowns finished with low necks. There
are two suggestions shown in the
Illustration and both are desirable.
A variety of materials are used for
underwear in these days, silk as we'll
as linen and cotton, but the best taste
demands fine soft fabric that will with
stand the repeated washings that are
essential to dainty cleanliness. Hand
kerchief lawn is advocated by the
best dealers and is worn by the
leaders of fashion. Fine white cotton
batiste and lawn are good materials,
and there are certain advantages to
be found in crepe de chine, and in the
tub silks. They launder easily and
are in sense time savers and very
busy women and women of limited
households, find such considerations
of importance, but nothing with
stands the laundry as perfectly as
linen and cotton and the linen and
cotton fabrics are sufficiently dainty
and sufficiently beautiful to satisfy
the most exacting tastes.

dition of the head produced by an appetite in the heart. It is grand thing for the heart, enlarging it to many times it's former capacity, but what it does to the mind is mourn full to contemplate. Under the influ- ence of love we see $9 week clerks buying $5 punches of violets, strong and fearless young athletes weeping great pearly tears because the let ter carrier didn't bring a pink note, and we'll educated young women re- garding Apollo, Shakespeare and Daniel Webster as mere trash when compared with a magnificent young football player CT necktie salesman who call at their home each evening.
 Love blinds the eyes, warps the judgment, spells the taste, increases the capacity for happiness, takes the |sting out of misfortune, softens the disposition, makes hard work worth while and fills the land with happy and often crowded homes.
 Love is an internally, ridiculously and painfully magnificent thing. 1t is a 100000 volt shock of personal magn etism against which there is no insulation. It preys upon the old and the young alike. It attacks the sta tuesque young society princess and reduces her from an iceberg to an armful of soft words in three weeks. It steals from the bony frame of the hardened old skin-fint, who has just ejected 19 starving families from his tenement houses and transforms him into slave of the barber, the mani cure specialist and the florist in less time than it would take a thousand dollar bill to earn two bits in interest
 Love can be cured, but it isn't worth while. It is too fascinating in it's terrible progress. The best treat ment is to alloy it and mitigate it by means of marriage. There is as much love after marriage as before, but it leaves the brain, where it has been messing things up, and goes down into the heart where it belongs.
 Love has remodeled nations, re- vised history, overthrown kings and champions and has made literature worth reading. It is said that love makes the world go round, but it does more than that. It makes the world go round and round and 'orund and round like other we'll known intoxicants.

ness man in our city, and is well known to every voter. He is for bigger, better Valdez, and no party has any strings on him. He has al- ready served seveyal years on the council.
 Charles M. Day is probably one of the best-known men on the ticket. He has always been identified with the big business of Valdez, and has always been a consistent and tireless worker for the city's advancement. Mir Day is pledged to no one and will be found in the van for the interests of his home town. He is a former councilman of two years service.
 Ed Wood is the popular and we'll MT. Wood has held office in Valdez times without number and has made a capable officer. He will be found working for the city's good. Charles Crawford, the seventh member of the council has been en- gagged in business in the city for a number of years, and is a carpenter and cabinet maker. Previous to the big fire MT. Crawford had the only sawmill in the city, and at present has plans under way to rebuild the structure destroyed. MT. Crawford is successful in whatever he undertakes and will make an excellent council man.
 The council as whole is a re- markedly efficient one, and we be ]ieve they will be found always work ing for what they believe to be the right.

Walt Mason on Homemade Goods. [" Why send afar, to Cork or Rome, For Sunday hats or bales of hay? Let's buy the goods we make at home And show we're patriots that way! The giant vessels sail the deep, And bring us doodads made abroad. Our money on our native sod. Those ships take back our hard-earn-
 ed cash
 To pay the freight for Europe's kings;
 To pay for battle succotash And stuff we. grow at home, by jings! My wife's new lid was made in
 France,
 And 'tis a phony thing indeed; The broadcloth in my Sunday pants Was manufactured by Tweed. The sauce the grocer sent today Was brought from London in a crate It costs like blitzen-I must pay The duty added to the freight. We sing our patriotic songs And boost the flag and seldom cease, But when we want gargoyles or
 gongs We ship them in from Southern
 Greece,
 And, as I write hundred barks Bring curleycues across the foam; Oh, profit by these sage remarks And learn to buy your junk at home.

A HURRIED TONGUE.

1t May Mean Wrecked Nsrvep and Not
 Disordered Stomach.
 .I suppose that there is no more in- eradicable idea in the mind of the doctor than that the furred tongue is essentially an indication of deranged stomach" writes Sir James Goodhart, consulting physician to Guys hospital. London, in the London Lancet. Yet according to Sir James, it is by no means always so. And he goes on to prove it by cases in his own extensive practice. . ,.,
 One of these was of man in a very responsible, position. a. leader of men, to whom he had to give orders that had to be obeyed. and from whom he had to hear much grumbling; a very hard worker and "the fastest talker have ever struck" full of energy and playing every ounce of 1t. He was in splendid health, but suffered from a furred tongue and bad taste in the mouth. In his case these were not due to the stomach at all. but to dis ordered state of nerve control.
 Nervous fears and nervous tastes are common enough. and they deserve special thought" says Sir James. He believes that man is kept sweet and wholesome largely by nervous control. and when he loses this control "the parts become fevered. the mu- cous membrane dry. the nerves irri- tated. and taste is perverted" The men so affected are those who are nervous, anxious. hard workers. talk ing their work home with them tO think about and dream about ip 6sd

FIFTH INVASION OF MEXICO.

Five times in history the United States has invaded Mexico. The first time was in 1S46, when our troops landed at Vera Cruz at the com mencement of what is known in his tory as the Mexican was. In 1877, because of Indian depredations, we again crossed the international boun- dary. The third time was when Uni ted States cavalry, at whose head was Captain Layton, pursued the Apaches under the old Chief Geronimo in 1886. These cavalrymen captured Geronimo in the Sierra Madre noun tains, and their success is largely at tributed to the use of heliographs which flashed signals from the noun tain side for many miles up and down the range and caused Geronimo to come into camp and give himself up because he had a superstition that prevented him taking his needed rest, owing to the fact, as he explained, that the "Hib Eye was constantly upon him.
 The fourth invasion was in 1913. when most of the navy and consid- erable number of troops were dis patched by President Wilson to Vera Cruz to compel the American troops to destroy the prestige of Huerta and permit Carranza, Villa and Zapata to drive Huerta into exile. The sixth invasion occurred on the fifteenth in stant.
 During the Mexican war the United States troops occupied Mexican terri tory for little more than two years. having been successful in a number of sanguinary battles in which the United States troops were greatly out numbered. Peace was declared and ratified under the treaty of Guada- lupe Hidalgo.
 During the Indian uprisings Por- firio Diaz, then president of Mexico, agreed that the troops of the two re- publics could reciprocally cross the international boundary line in pur- suit of the savages. But although this agreement was in force about twelve months Diaz refused to re new it.

THE NEW COUNCIL.

The city election IS over and good council has been elected. All the members are men who will try to give the town a straight business ad- minist7ation. It is up to the people who belong in Valdez and have busi- ness and property here to work to- gether to promote the growth and prosperity of the town. Politics may we'll be laid on the shelf until two weeks before next years election. We believe every member of the new council will give us a square deal- and one certainly should not expect more than this.
 We ask our citizens to give the new members your earnest co-opera- tion. You may differ from them in many things, and they may err in matters of judgment,-but anyone in their difficult position would do the same. What we want and expect is harmony. Unity of action on every thing concerning our city's future.
 We believe our citizens have re- liable, conscientious, business coun- Gil, and we may expect better times and larger growth from this day on. ., Charles McCallum, the newly elect ed member of the city council is a young man of proven ability, and will make a splendid member of our civic body. MT. McCallum is Secretary of Valdez Miners Union No 1888, and is very popular among his associates and among his acquaintances MT. Nc Callum is a good business man and on the splendid run he made He has been a member of the city coun- cil before, and is acquainted with his duties.
 J. H. Patterson, who stands at the head of the ticket, is an old resident of the city, and has been engaged in the blacksmithing business here for many years. He is good workman. is cautious with his promises, and is not tied up with any party. He will make an excellent councilman. He has also has previous service in our municipal body.
 Ernest Erickson is another old timer here, and is we'll known to ev- cry voter in the city. He is in the employ of the Light & Telephone Co.,, Is a good workman, shrewd busi- ness man and is not tied up to any clique or faction. MT. Erickson sue ceeds himself on the council.

Promoting Public Welfare

Governor Brumbaugh spent Sunday
i'm the Wyoming Valley, delivering two
sermons in churches and a speech in
public school auditorium. All Penn
sylvanians will applaud his words at
West Pittston, where, in the First
Methodist Episcopal Church. he said
"In society we support the things that
are right and oppose the things that
are wrong. But if we battle for laws
and procedure that arc right VIC can
make PENNSYLVANIA a cleaner, swcetcr,
happier place in which to live" That,
in a way, sums up the whole duty of
citizenship. In a way, it describes
what all of us are striving for. 1t rep
resents the ambition not alone of the
people who would eXalt themselves as
''reformers," but that of those others
who have the public welfare equally
at heart, even though they may be
more practical" in II manner Of
speaking. In the last analysis, the
reforms" for which any man or body
of men labor represent his and their
ideas of what would be good for them
selves, and, it follows naturally, in
their view, for their fellows. Not nee
essarily are they merely selfish. II
they are selfish can their opponents
he deemed less selfish? Does not the
charge fit each side equally No one
has questioned the sincerity of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's advocacy of GER
tain government and political princi-
pies and measures. But he must
know, as most everybody realizes, that
no man or set of men can have a mon
opoly of all the virtues. The citizenry
will give support unfailingly to the
good proposals presented for it's con-
sideration, but only after having de-
cided them good by tests which in
cline the judgment with special refer
ence to the good that will be person
ally derived or the harm or inconven-
ience or annoyance that will not be
his own portion therefrom. Everyone
will wish the Governor we'll in his ef-
forts to make Pennsylvania a better
place in which to live, and will aid him
when they are sure that he is as un-
selfish in his motives as they believe
him to be pure in his life and deeds.

RICHES OUT OF WAR

lFrom the New YORK World,J
Every country at war happens upon
a time sooner or later when it thinks
it is getting rich out of the struggle.
This was the common state of mind in
the North particularly during the last
two years of the ~.-il War. 1t has
been the prevalent and even the
stated official view in Germany almost
from the beginning of the present war.
The English economist, Sir George
Paish, is now giving figures which
will incline the British mind to the
same Impression. With 100000 men
he yet calculates that Britain's gross
annual income has increased from
$4,000 100000 to $4,000 100000 since
the war began.
Very likely it has--on paper. 1t was
on paper that we were rich from the
ye,,ts later. Women, and former un
employed may have largely taken the
places vacated by Great Britain's
100000 soldiers, and there has been
a speeding up in working activity all
around. There is also an imitation. of
exchanges show, in relation to the
American dollar. which is a factor in
bringing higher nominal wages.
But if from all these causes the
gross nominal income of Great Britain
is greater than before the war. the ac-
tuai net income must be much smaller
and growing smaller all the time.
The higher wages are offset by the
higher prices and cost of living, ant
there is left a general net income GER
with which to meet the Government
rapidly increasing war-tax levies to
pay interest on the war debt and in
contribution to current war expenses.

theory that even economical Germany
found ineXpedient and impossible of
realization. All the great naval pow
ers of the world-Japan excepted
have found it profitable to utilize pri-
vate rather than government-owned
armor plants, and Japan was forced
il the manufacturing business be-
the country possessed no pri-
vately controlled plant.
Bethlehem offers the government
armor at it's own price. and quickly.
What we want is action. If we are
to have a greater navy it must be built
before the types now planned are OBJ
solete. Instead of discouraging pri-
vately controlled ship yards the gov
ernment should do everything in its
power to induce them to give the
naval program precedence over all
other lines of work.
