SHOOTING FISH IN GUIANA

Although the Guiana Indians all use
guns for hunting game, they still ad-
here to bows and arrows for killing
fish and employ blow-guns and wour-
an - poisoned darts - for securing
birds and small animals. The bows
are usually of letter-wood, about five
feet in length, and very powerful. The
arrows vary according to the purpose
for which they are designed, but all
are long-from five to six feet-With
shafts of arrow-cane and a shank of
hardwood fitted at one end. This
head which is fixed immovably if TIE
arrow is for shooting birds or small
fish; or, If used for killing turtle and
large fish, is equipped with a socketed
head, attached to a long, strong, cot
ton line. When a large fish is struck,
the shaft floats free from the socketed
head, which acts as q toggle, and
turns at right angles when strain
is put on the line. BY means of this
harpoon-hke arrangement the fish or
turtle is hauled in. Neither fish nor
turtle arrows are feathered, but those
used in hunting birds are provided
with two feathers which seem far too
small to serve any useful purpose
With these simple weapons the In
dians creep along the rocky edges of
the streams and eddies and with
marvellous dexterity shoot the fish
which only their hawklike eyes can
discern deep beneath the surface
Naked, save for a lap, or loin-cloth
the hunter stands motionless as a
statue, with drawn bow and poised
arrow, and, If no fish are visible
within range, he "calls them" by o.
peculiar beckoning motion of his hand
and low whistle. Whether or not
the fish actually respond to his COM
mand / cannot say, but the Indians
affirm that they do. and, when this
method fails, the savages resort to
attracting the fish within range by
throwing certain pods and seeds into
the water. = A. Hyatt Verrill in Har-
per's Magazine for January.

Aniline dyes and with them the alb

trouble, however, the mother who OBJ
jects to spending more money for an

turn out eggs quite as attractive as
the costly decorated ones by dyeing
them as our grandmothers used to do
them.
Grandma had but two dyes at her
command, from which she evolved
many shades by commingling and di-
luting the "tea" which she procured by
sleeping logwood and Pernambuco

Ponaee For Spring VICAR.

Pongee seems to be spring surety.
But the pongee of this spring will be
more interesting than the pongee Of
the other seasons when it has been
worn. Much of it will be printed with
vivid colors. There will be large green
polka dots on plain pOngee back
ground. There will be strips Of vivid
green, blue and red, and when it is
used plain it will be trimmed vividly.
In fact, though neutral colors,' grays
and tans, are to be used extensively
for suits this spring, they are all going
to be trimmed lavishly with brilliant

Co. ored Wells Worn,

Colored wells are being worn to a
considerable extent. Beige, gray and
navy are the most popular colors. The
embroidered veil continues to domi-
nate, yet one sees combination of
colors; for example, beige colored en-
broidery on navy veil is smart, again
gray on navy. Black and white cOmbi-
nations are making their appearance in
increasing number. We note white
chenille embroidery on a fine black
hexagon mesh. There seems to be a
wane in metallic embroidered wells.

SPRING SUITS.
A Few of the HalImarks
of the New Tailor Made.

The southern season always brings
out certain number Of spring tailored
suits, but this year there is an unusual
ly large display. There is nothing par
ticularly new or startling about the
advance spring tailored costumes, and
whether the later openings will have
any revelation to make remains to be
seen. The chances are, however, that
the suits of the spring will be similar
to the advance designs now on view.
For the conventionally severe tailor
ed coat the accepted lines promise to
be very much like those of the winter
season.
AS is generally the case in the spring
the Norfolk suit, although often having
little in common with the Norfolk, ex-
cept it's belt, is much on view, espe-
.cially in the collection intended for
country or sports wear.
Then there is the suit coat semi
fitted and rippling around the bottom.
This varies in length from hip to fin
ger tip length. Some of the new mod
els are Of hip length, with the front of
the coat open to show the waistcoat
in Breton or Louis XIV. style.
A fanciful tailored costume Of black
satin revealed pearl gray waistcoat
embroidered in silver. This coat had
a belt of the material and pockets
posed below the belt. There are also
few straight models, deliberately en-
broidered or braided.
The spring frocks multiply daily. A
lovely model recently noted was Of
navy blue serge and navy blue and
green checked material. The serge
formed the upper part Of the gown,
which fastened down the side with
froggings, meeting skirt Of navy and
green checks. The collar and cuffs
were braided.
Great vogue is predicted for braid
trimming. An interesting model noted
is of navy cloth and black satin. The
long, straight fourreau opening over
black satin front is braided on the
waist and at the neck, while the edges
are trimmed with pieces of wide gal
loon, pointed at the ends and posed
one above the other. At the waist sim
liar pieces Of galloon are arranged to
allow satin sash to slip under them.
This sash is tied at the side and braid
ed at the ends.
For more dressy frocks there is pre-
dicted return Of the vogue for taf-
feta. This silk is also much in de-
fnand for trimmings and combined
with gcorgette Grape and voile.
Frocks Of satin are much in vogue.
Black satin intended for dress wear
was appliqued with designs of Indian
cashmere in medallion form, with me-
tallic embroidery on bodice front and
cuffs.

Army blue broadcloth develops this
attractive suit built for maidens. The
full skirt nevertheless manages to
hobble in, and the Russian blouse
takes a full peplum thrice tucked.
Satin sailor collar and cuffs add nat
ty touch. as does the navy straw sailor
hat.
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1917-03-31

An exquisite shade of rose metal
cloth is here developed ON classic lines.
Gold lace is draped mantiflp fashion
over the corsage and girdle Of gold
brOcaded ribbon. The fish tail train
and the drape Of the skirt give quite
unique effect.

If Germany wins this war, we
will have to fight another war
later on or we will be a depend
ent nation" declared former
President Taft in a recent adj
dress.
Germany planned to rectify
the boundaries of Russia. Its
meaning of 'rectify' was like
that of the man who cut off the
dogs tail just behind his ears,
1t meant to crush France and to
finish Great Britain. Then where
would we come in? Britain
would have had nothing with
which to pay indemnities. but
Canada would have looked pretty
good to Germany"
Mr.. Taft traced the causes of
the war from the beginning and
told why America was at war
and why she had no other course
open to her but war. He traced
the developments of German kul-
tur from the time of Bismarck
and amazed his hearers by his
recital of the passion of Prus-
sianism to rule the world.
Bismarck didn't intend tC
conquer the world" said the ex'
President, He intended tc
make Germany q power in the
world. The Germans then made
a system of efficiency they called
tultur.' All this success turned
their heads and they became OBJ
sessed with the desire to spread
'kultur' over the world.

we treated these statements as
we treat the statements of our
own cranks.
When the interests of the
German State are involved every
condition of honor and morality
has to be sacrificed. They began
the war by violating Belgian
neutrality. They called it a
scrap of paper. The Belgians
resisted. The Germans selected
a districtin Belgium and stood
up against the walls of the city
the men, women and children
and shot them down, so that by
this policy they might terrorize
the rest Of the Belgian people in
to submission.
We can t feel the war till the
casualty lists begin to come in.
We can't understand it till we
have the feeling that France and
England have had since the be-
ginning of the war.
We have much to be thankful
for this year, We began right.
We must have a draft law that
is fair to rich and poor. We
have cantonments. We have
shown in the Liberty Loans the
willingness to trust and to lend
the Government money. We
have recognized the appeal of the
Red Cross and of the work the.
Y. M. c. A. is doing.
"The war will bring out the
American patriotism of 1776 and
of 1861, and we will be better
citizens after we win this war
and have conquered Germany.
And conquer her we will. "
