nothings are receiving the most at U tention. The sheerest of organdie5
 and nets find themselves the most popular fabrics at the dress access sories counter, where they are bloom- ing in the most delicate of pastel shades and have trimmed themselves : with tiny ruffle upon ruffle of near Valenciennes lace in white or cream color
 One of their latest forms is that of the surplus vestee made with collar and front pieces of the frilly ruffles. and even furnished with organdio waist bands which, crossing in back to hold the vestee in place, return once more to the front for an orna- mental and fashionable tying.
 These little affairs can be worn eually well as summer aids to the one- piece dress as we'll as the tailored suit. Thee rare also collar and cuff sets of dainty organdie similarly trimmed, with many rows of tiny lace ruffles, | from which one may select a stand-up collar style or one of the shawl va riety, and also suit ones taste as to the size and height of the gauntlet cuffs. Only the narrowest widths of Val. lace is used and the little ruffles are placed close together so that they overlap. Sometimes tiny pecot edge ruffles of the colored organdie take the place of the lace ones, or a simple footing edge will be used. Here, also, the tiny ruffle trimming is duplicated, as well as the sash ends, which either tie in back in a bow or are brought around to the front or are loosely looped together. These sashes nave a finish of tiny ruffles, also, like their sisters of the vestee tribe. The usual skirt used with this model is that of 8 full shirred one having some form of tucking as trimming
 Thin white silk hose for wear with low pumps and slippers have colored lines of red, white and blue introduced in the fashionable clock form. They will prove effective with a military suit or an all white sport costume.
 Other recent models in hosiery show lines in the national colors embroid cred up the instep fronts, while the up per section beneath the skirt has a design carried out in three rows of star-shaped ornament sin blue and red and white.
 White footwear is quite as popular as ever. Most women have found that there is nothing cooler they can put on their feet for either dress or sport events, and all varieties of mod els for all occasions and all manner of summer happenings are to be found, from a rubber-sole tennis shoe to French-heeled dancing slipper.

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER YOUNG NEWS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
 OF WARREN MINING DISTRICT

The general secretary. A. B. Rich ardson. writes from Estes Park. Colo, where he is a member of the school faculty for the Y. NJ. C. A. summer school. T feel very much like I am in military camp-at sunrise the war students who are here go through the usual military proceedings of raising the flag and the same program is fol- lowed at sunset, and both in the morn ing and at eventide stiff army drills tre the order of the day. Needless to advice that yours truly is not taking the arduous drills. It is enough disci- pline to be compelled to crawl out of bed at 6 a. m. The conference grounds this year present an unusual scene of activity-the preparation on the part of so many young men taking up the army Y. M. c. A. work adds to the usual crowd and also has tendency to bring the great war closer to us.
 "One of our war secretaries. fresh from the war-ridden district, was here few days ago, and the many dis ht ANAAttN OA ANoA conditions in the war zone were suffi- cient to make ones blood run cold. Another young fellow is here, only re gently having returned from Germany, where he was held a prisoner for nine months. and the treatment he and Oth- CT prisoners received is not compli- mentary to Kaiser Wilhelm-anyway the secretary was glad to have his life spared I learn here that Dr. Jno. R. Mott, general secretary of the inter- national committee of the Y. NJ. c.

Quite a number of the teachers in the school were prevented from coming this yea rdue to losing so many of their forces in the draft and Y. M. c. A. war work. and this has required many of us to double on the usual work re- quired of us-but we can stand the
 strain and charge it up to Patriot ism"

c. E. Livingstone, one of the live wires, has just received a letter from former member A. NJ. Shambaugh. in which he describes briefly some of the i life at the Presidio reserve officers training camp. Extracts from his It. ter follow:
 An the whole we have a fine bunch of men-from all states on the Paci- fic, New Mexico. Arizona, Nevada. Utah. Idaho and Wyoming. The man besi me is a young lawyer from Wyoming, at my foot are two men from Yale. one cot over is a teacher from normal school in Washington-the fellow in the corner is from Oregon so you see something of the surround ings as to associations. The physical surroundings are very decent, fine woods, paved roads, green lawns, many flowers and street cars less than a block away" Friends of Shambaugh should drop him a line. He will be glad to hear from his old associates. Following is a letter received from Bill Cooley. now in the engineering corps:

rel. In STRENGTHENING a barrel every
thing depends on the skill and expert
ence of the operator, for. although ma
chimes have been devised to perform
this difficult work, they still require
skilled men to operate them. and they
cannot turn out rs much work as is
done by hand by the old method that
has been practiced for years and WHICH
can only be acquired by long experience.
The Strengthening block has a heavy
base, on which are fixed two hardened
bars of steel set a short distance apart
and at an angle with ono another. A
north window is necessary. where a
steady, unobstructed light is had. and
the upper half Of this window usually
has a large pane of fine ground glass.
Across this glass at about the middle
is fixed q s%traightedge of wood. The
operator places a barrel on a rest and,
looks through it at the straightedge OH
the window, observing the shadow cast
by the edge on the polished interior of
the bore.
This shadow extends about halfway
down the bore, and if the latter is per-
fectly straight the shadow shows two
straight dark lines. one on either side
of the bore and Slightly below its CEN
ter. If, however, there is n crook in
the bore the lines of the shadow di-
verge from a straight line and zigzag

Gates that there are crooks i'm the bar
rel. To correctly observe these delicate
indications requires unusually perfect
sight, and to locate the point and ma
ture of the crook is a matter of long
experience and Judgment.
When the operator has located a
crook he lays the barrel across the bars
of his Strengthening block with the high
point of the curve uppermost and
strikes it with Il heavy hammer made of
copper or babbit metal, and great judg-
ment is necessary to know just how
hard to strike to remove the crook. This

ing is repeated until the two shadow
lines are perfectly true for one-half of
the length of the barrel and then is re-
peated for the other half, observations
being taken from the opposite end.
Another method of Strengthening
sometimes practiced is by placing In
the muzzle OF the gun a lens covered
with cement, in which a circle is
scratched. On looking through the bar
rel with a suitable light a series OF
rings appears In the bore. and the
slightest lack of concentricity of these
rings indicates a defect. This is said
to be an extremely delicate test.-Sci,

THEIR sENsELEss DREAMS.
They Were Not Forgotten, as the Little

They Were Not Forgotten, as the Little
Gear Had Ordered.
An incident which occurred at the
very beginning of Nicholas IFS reign
is very characteristic of the attitude of
the former emperor toward any share
of the people in the government of
Russia.
A deputation of the foremost repre-
sentatiyes of the Russian nobility was
sent to bring congratulations to the
new emperor. Very bright hopes were
connected with the aScendance to the
throne of the young monarch after a
period of gloomy reaction during the
reign of his father, Alexander Ill, and
in consequence it was decided to pre-.
sent TO him througha delegation Of the
mobiles an extremely modest supplica-
ton in favor of an embryo chamber Of
representatives, the only proposed right
of which was the fright" to be consulted
by the emperor whenever it pleased
him.
The delegates, composed of highly re-
spectGl and venerable elderly gentle
men. numbering several hundred, was
lined up in the big hall OF the Winter
palace in Petrograd and kept standing
in a military order and in complete 81
lence for more than two hours.
At last a detachment of dismounted
horse guards in topboots and with huge
swords hprriedly entered the hall with
a terrific noise and placed itself in
front of the stricken delegation.
Then the tiny emperor in wild excite
ment rushed in and. pacing up and
down the hall in the midst of the giant
soldiers and shouting at the venerable
gentlemen. delivered a brief but very
definite speech. the gisty of which con-
sisted of the following expression:

A DOCTOR AND A THRONE.
How Ensiand's Present Royal Family
Gained the Crown.

Gained the Crown.
Tint George v. now sits on the throne
Of England is due In no small measure
to the prognosis of a seventeenth cen
tury physician, DR.. Richard Mead, who
was born in London Aug. II, 1873.
When Queen Anne, last Of the Stuart
rulers, became fatally Ill in TIA
DIR. Mead vas called in consultation.
After an examination of the stricken
queen he found that she was near
deaths door, and the doctor so in
formed the leaders of the Wing party.
with which he vas affiliated.
The Wings favored the Hanoverian
succession and Immediately on learning
that Anne was 500 to succumb began
to plan for the realization or their am
billions. The regular physicians of the
queen did not believe that She was SO
near to death, so when Anne breathed
her last in TIA the supporters of
Anne's brother, James, were unpre-
pared for the event. Anne's Tory min
istry was in favor of placing James on
the throne, but the Wings, thanks to
DR.. Mead, had already taken such ac-
ton as to insure the succession Of the
elector of Hanover, and in September
George l. made his triumphal entry
into England.
Or. Mead was rewarded by being
made physician to the new royal fam
lily. Many English historians have at
tributed large Importance to the physi-
clans prognosis in bringing about the
succession Of the royal house which
has ruled England for two centuries
