THE TOWN BEAUTT-
Full MOVEMENT

This is an age of tourists and
touring. People keep their eyes
open as they pass through towns,
anxious to see what refinement
and civic spirit they can find.
\ town that beauties IFS public
streets and that has attractive
residence grounds draws inter-
est from all over a state.
Towns ought to take the great
est pains to beautify the streets
/ through which this stream Of mo-
tor travel is passing also to
clean up neighborhoods through
which railroad tracks run. When
motorists find dilapidated build
ings, ill-kept grounds. stables dec
GRATED with circus posters, etc,
they carry away a disagreeable
impression.
The view from the railroad car
is usually one Of tumbIed down
chicken coops. piles Of ashes and
rubbish. Property-owners per-
haps say 10 themselves that the
strangers that pass BY won t
know who it is that keeps such
a looking place. All the same.
they know the name Of the town.
Many towns. realizing the inn
portance Of the effect produced
on travellers. take pains TO make
little park spots near railroad
stations and along main streets,
It is astonishing what a change
can be made in a dingy square
by planting few trees and
shrubs.
Every town should have a com
mittee to look specially after the
appearance Of these arteries OF
travel, The owners Of property
abutting on them should be Hrg-
ed TO cooperate in general
cleanup and Identification move
ment. If railroad Won I clean
the rubbish out Of lis right-of-
way, the townspeople could bet
ter afford to do it themselves
than to let II remain. II screen
Of trees could be planted along
the back yards adjoining railroad
tracks, the Traveller in a few
years would get wholly differ

The fact that VI Bryan
was defeated for delegate to the
Democratic National Convention
at the recent primaries in Neb-

again proclaim him dead. Mr..
Bryan has been killed off polit-

probably use to it. Four dele
gates at large were elected in Ne
braska and Mr.. Bryan ran sixth.
His brother, Charles Bryan, who
was candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for governor,
was also defeated.

HIGH WINDS AND RAINS.
Fierce Gales Follow Yesterdays
Mornings Torrential
Downpours

The black clouds which hung over
this section yesterday morning emp
tied themselves over this locality.
While the rain was copious in Alex
andria, for a short time, it fell IN
torrents in Washington. The wind
subsequently changed to the west,
when clearing and cooler conditions
followed. The wind gathered force
all the time, and before the close Of
the day it was roaring through the
city at an alarming velocity. After
dark it became more fierce, causing
apprehension, it being feared that
: chimneys would be demolished or
houses unroofed. Heavy blasts were
in evidence most of the night.
No material damage, however, re-
suited. Some loose shingles were
clown from roofs, small branches
twisted from trees and telephone
pole or Alfred street was bent by
the force of the wind. A shed was
blown down at the plant of the Alex
andria Glass Works. A large plate
glass window was broken in a King
street store.
The disturbance was much more
severe north of this city, especially
in Baltimore.
A veritable cyclone swept Mary
land yesterday, carrying before 1t
destruction to property and in one
case death to a Baltimore child and
probably fatal INJURIES to her sister.
A man was hit by a chimney and his
skull broken. At $3.50 last night the
records of the Weather Bureau show
cd that the wind had attained max
imum velocity of 45 miles an hour
and was growing stronger. The mini
mum OF the evening was p miles ar
hour.
One ship was overturned on Chesa.
peake bay and several steamers tori
from their mornings on the Potomac
river. Two uncompleted houses in
Baltimore were wrecked; and man!
plate glass windows crashed inward
trees were uprooted, chimneys top.
pied over and fires that started m
the rural districts were famed t.
fury.
Warnings came to the Weather Blu
reau early yesterday morning of the
approach Of the cyclone, in the shape
of low baromctric pressure. The
storm had been discovered slowly APP
preaching the eastern seaboard from
The Far West, and as it neared the At
iantic coast gathered increasing
strength,
The entire Atlantic coast was in
its path and so broad was it thai
even Pittsburgh felt its force. As fa'
north as Buffalo and Boston seacoast
cities were in the grip Of the big wind.

The Smartest Trimmings.

a PART from laces, the smartest
~ trimmings for spring are tiny
ornaments and stitching This hand
stitching is used in bands on the skirt
and about the bodice, and finishes
every available edge with an effective
line of color. Sometimes it is the old
fashioned chain stitch and sometimes
a long and short stitch. very simple,
but decorative. 1t is done in floss,
wool or tinsel thread, usually silver.
For instance, A black tulle dress may
have skirt, sleeves and bodice tucked
in wide tucks, each headed with a
trailing line OF silver stitching
Next to stitching in importance are
the new bead trimmings in color. They
are used in every possible way. Some
times they are made into entire motifs
or directly seWed to the material of
the costume. Tasseis and little drop
ornaments are made of them, and bead
fringes hang from the edges of lace
and embroidery.
lovely silver bouncing may have a
thread of black woven through il here
and there. Bands of this lace are ef-
fective under sheer drapings of chif-
fon or tulle. Color is used in some of
the founces intended for summer
dresses. and sometimes the whole
founce is in color. Embroidered
crepes and batistes done in white have
the center of the flowers in color, and
the narrow bands which edge the pat
tern are outlined with white china
beads. Braids are used to give d
flare to skirts by being applied on the
edge Of f1ounces of two or three TERED
skirts.
