BUILDS AIRPLANE
 FOR USE IN SUMMER CAMP

Seattle, April 10-A small air plane to be used this summer in survey and reeonnoiter work in the cheering summer camp in Kittitas county is being constructed by J. W. Miller, assistant profes- scr of civil engineering at the Uni Yersity of Washington. Mir. Miller will complete his machine some time in May and if tests on the campus show it to be successful, he will take it to the camp.
 The machine will have a spread of 24 feet and is designed to carry the aviator and 200 pounds of bag gage. A low power rotary motor will 0e used in an attempt to get a slow speed airship. The invention is expected to prove 8 great help in survey work and possibly in for est ranging the greatest handi- cap being in getting suitable land ing places in the forest regions.
 MT. Miller is also constructing a large machine but it will not be completed until late in the summer. The small airplane will accompany the party of sophomores which. will go to Ktttias- county to resume survey work on the proposed change i1 the Sunset highway between El- leusburg and Wenatchee.

Hope Very Seldom
 Has Services

Fer the second time in eighteen years of it's existence, the village of Hope, where citizens say they endeavor to live up to its name was visited by a missionary preacher re- gently. Hope is @ mining town on the northern edge of Kenai pen insula, sixty-five miles by trail from Seward, the terminal of the new United States railroad.
 h spite of the fact that there is no church there, every family was supplied with a bible and all ex- pressed great interest in establish ing a Sunday school
 The new Sunday school probab- ly is one of the most broad in re gard to creed in the United States, as it includes children whose par ents prior to coming to Hope, were affiliated with Methodist, Presbyterz ian, Baptist, Congregationalist, Ro- man Catholic, Greek Cahtloic and Episcopal churches
 Hope is a gold mining camp, founded by a stampede in 1896, the year before the discovery of gold on the Klondike. At one time it boested of a population of of 2,O0O. Most of the present population have been there for ten years or more. Agricultural development of the aaVilable land about the village has progressed to a great degree in re- cent years.
 There is gold on all the creeks, in spite of the fact that all of the "big pay" was taken out in the year following the first stampede, and it is apparent that development work On quartz lodges from which the placer deposit originated, may a. ain make it a center of activity.

COCAINE HABIT NO GRIP
 ON LONDON PEOPLE

London, April 1O-Londcn is not in the grip of the cocaine hapit. So says a report of the cocaine com mittee which has contemplated m investigation into what alarmists said was a growing curse of the people. "The habit is practically confined to a small section of the dominion troops and to an almost uegl~ible number of broken down medical men," the report added.

Mushrooms and OxYuen.

A curious way of removing oxygen from the air by the aid of a plant Is thus described: Inside q glass bell jar, suspended over water, is placed Q mushroom, and sunlight is allowed to fall upon the plant. The mushroom absorbs the oxygen from the air in the jar, and the carbonic acid formed during the process is absorbed by the water, which gradually rises in the jar to one-ffth. of its height. The mushroom at length dries up, but its animation is only suspended, as may be proved by introducing beside it a green plant, when it will recommence to vegetate, being nourished by the oxygen exhaled from the fresh plant

Washington Men
 Fit For Service

Seattle, April 1O-Should the United States call for men in event of war, 94 per cent of the students of the University of Washington could qualify for active service. This estimate made by Dr. D. c. Hall, director of physical education, is based on physical tests given to men entering the university.
 "A part of these could not serve in the first line troops on account of wearing glasses or having some other physical imperfection," said Dr. Hall. At least 80 per cent, however, would be able to shoulder a gun in the fighting line. The others would be available for technical service" ]
 Eight hundred and ten men, in- cluding those of the officers re- serve training corps end forty mem- bers of the band, are available for military service in the university ca- dets corps, providing all could pass tho military examination. The men could not be drafted without their consent since they retain their status of citizen, according to Captain William T. Patten, U. s. A., retir- cd commandant of the University of Washington cadet corps.
 Although none of the cadets in the corps have obligated themselves, Lieutenant William D. Frazer be- lteTes that enough men to form battalion, 600, could easily be raised in case of necessity. He also believes that there are fifty men in the cadet corps and officers training corps that could qualify for commissions in the regular in~ fantry..
 The men that the university could supply would have to be equipped from outside sources as not enough war materials are kept on the cam- Dus, owing to the poor housing fa- ciIities The recent filibuster in Congress, which held up the army bill, has caused the officers some worry in regard to equipment.

OF MYSTIC
 IN SILVER COFFIN

Petrograd, April 1O-The Petror grad Press, no longer under the strict censorship of the old regime, is taking advantage of its new lib erty to publish acts hitherto sup pressed in regard to the assas- sination of Gregory Rasputin, the mystic whose influence in court circles stirred the entire country.
 While the whole nation was breathing a sigh of relief at deliver ance from Rasputin's malign influ ence the imperial family was laying away his remains, with great rever- ance and pomp, at Tsarskoe-Selo.
 After the body was found in the Neya it was taken to Tsarskoe-Selo in the imperial car in which rode the then minister of the interior, NJ. Protopopoff, and General Voye- koff. The body was taken direct 10 the imperial palace. The funer- al service was held in the imperial church.
 A silver coffin, containing the body, was carried to its resting place by the Emperor, M. Protopo- poff, General VOkyekoff and oth- CTS, followed by the Empress in ,deeu' mourning. The affair caused a great deal of scandal at the time and further inflamed the people against he Empress.

Fashions Creed.

1t appears that the prevailing creed
in fashion is that a woman must not
think of going in her shirt sleeves any
more than a man would think of doing
it. She wears a wash blouse beneath
the jacket for purposes of cleanliness,
but not publicity. So %farreaching is
this creed that the medieval tunic
which extends only to the hip line and
is fastened to the shoulder or slips
over the head Is worn i've a blouse
with a cloth skirt even in the house.
Probably the best thing to remember
In buying clothes now is that the fig
ure must be Strengthened out, In the
medieval manner, from bust to hips.
You a choose your own way of doing
it, whether by q deep girdle, by the
straight lines of the fabric or by a belt
Of suede or leather that conceals any
inward curve beneath the arms toward
the waist.

EMBROIDERY CRETONNES.
How to Make Attractive Spreads by
the Art of Applique.

TOW TO "dN0 NAht aNhtso ~
the Art of Applique.
Simple work for busy hands seems to
be In demand just at present. Ap-
pliqued patch embroidery is simple and
is made quickly.
To make centerpieces, cushion tops,
scarfs, tides or chair backs, clothes
bags, etc., plain linen or silk is needed,
preferably linen.
Circles Of applique are cut from
cretonne. The design should be a large
single flower or small spray in order to
cut three inch circles. The circles are
basted to the cloth and stitched on by
machine close to the edge. Chain stitch
around each circle with coarse thread,
then run through with a white thread
in what Is called the blanket stitch,
or whip 1t straight along the last row
Of stitches, catching it oyer and over.
The white rolls In with the black and
is very pretty. A scroll is drawn in
by cutting out a figure which looks
well and then tracing it off on the
cloth.
In a c%enterpiece six medallions are
used, three in q pillow, three in each
end of a scarf and three in a chair
back. To finish the edge outline it as
the medallions were outlined. Dots,
which are often placed in the center of
the scrollwork, are made Of black in
the satin stitch.

For Stout Women.

Becoming to the stout woman are
tunics Of plated Georgette Grape
weighted at the edge with a band of
velvet and drawn in loosely at the
waist line with a knotted or buckled
sash. The plated Georgette hangs in
graceful lines, and such a tunic is fiat
tering to the figure, Disgusting embon-
point more successfully than a fitted
tailored frock Of cloth material. The
skirt may be of velvet, cloth or silk,
and the band at the tunic edge should
be of similar material, the cuffs also to
give continuity of the costume.

Sash an important Thing.

All the French gowns are showing
that the girdle or the sash will be an
important feature of the spring fash
ions. There is no attempt to define the
waist line by any kind Of belt, but 1t is
swathed In oriental fashion with soft
and stiff belts, with Chinese embroid-
cry, with Russian handwork, including
threads of old silver and colored crys-
tails and with broad pieces of satin
which are cross stitched with silver
and gold thread, and on these jersey
blouses there are sashes in broad pep
permint candy stripping.

ADVANCE STYLES
FOR SUMMER
Those Going to Southlands OF
Those Clever Enough to Make
Their Thin Frocks Early viii
Enjoy These Fads of the Modes

4 lows, new satins and chiffonS
and grapes, pongees, the new
rOttons and linens-all these are grist
for the southern season mill, and,
while, of course, only enough of the
new stuffs are offered to satisfy the
limited demand, there are plenty of
pretty new things.
The border designs, intended prima-
rily for sports costume uses, are a trife
too striking for other purposes. They
come in soft natural toni or oyster
white grounds, with large designs in
bright color-large coin dots or groups
of such dots widely spaced. striking
stripe arrange ments, big checks, Gu
rious geometrieal motifs. Similar de-
signs are put upon dark or neutral
grounds, but the stuffs with light
grounds have evidently appealed more
forcibly to the dressmakers.
Skirts of such figured sports silks
are worn with coats of plain silk in
the color of tae grounds or in one of
the bright coiors of the design, and
the makers IF separate skirts have
been quick to take up this idea. They
have turned oat quantities of separate
sports skirt models in the gayly fig
ured new poneees, the rough standings
and other sports silks and have used
also the gayly bordered sports silks.
For the boidered stuffs plated mod
els are usually selected. The skirt is
laid in wide box plaits or side plaits
all around, preserving a straight line
without sacrificing f~ullness, and a coat
of plain color to match the border de-
sign is the natural accompaniment to
such a skirt.
Checked skirts of soft, lightweight
wool in smart colorings are worn with
plain sports coats, the coats perhaps
cuffed and ,ollared by the check. A
plated skirt of wool that looked like a
fine flannel and was checked largely in
black, white and gold yellow had a
sports coat of gold jersey with cuffs
and collars of the check.
There 6re separate sports coats of
jersey, both plain colored and striped,
and some Of the gay little skirts have
their stripes running around the full
folds instead of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
mode demanding slender wearers, but
In some ST. ipes very attractive.
One model in fine jersey of white
ground with eighth of an inch stripes
of bright soft blue or rose red was
shirred ON a cord and hung in full
straight folds, with the close set stripes
running horizontally. 1t was bound
widely at tne bottom with plain silk of
the stripe color, and the tops of the big
pockets hal the wide plain binding.
Linens and the heavy cottons are
made upDls straight lines, and there
are attractive one piece frocks quite
as simple, but showing slight under
arm and hip curves and we'll defined
waist lines. Linens are not so plenti-
full as usual in this advance showing,
the heavier eottons and tub silks be-
ing substituted for the linens.
Heavy japanese grapes in striped
designs are among the best looking
of the CHI. ap stuffs for sports wear,
and the very fine cotton grapes and
cotton VOTES are prettier than ever In
weaves and designs. Lacework stripes
and figures are introduced into the de-
signs of many of the finest cotton
voiles.

With the country at war, the public
can expect to be stirred up by many
Exaggerated reports, some without
foundation, others with slight founda-
|tion for the stories set afloat. When
|actual hostilities commence the re-
suit, whatever it may be, will be bad
enough without any startling addi-
lions contributed by the imaginative
reporter and correspondent Further
more, we may look for reverses al
first, as the United States is as I'M
prepared for war as were France and
England when the European war first
broke out, but we have sufficient con
fidence in the skill of the officers, the
bravery, devotion and staying quail
ties of both our soldiers and sailors
to feel that when once prepared and
in the face of the enemy Americans
will give the same good account OF
themselves that they have in the past
when called upon to defend the honor
of the country. We may have to sac
rifice some of our best, yet if in the
end democracy prevails and perpet-
ual peace is established the sacrifice
will not have been in vain.

Pacificists do not consider the
United States justified in going to war
even if over $50 American citizens
have been murdered without cause or
provocation, and yet insist that the
kaiser was justified in precipitating
war just because two people were kill
ed by an element for which no gov
eminent could be held directly re-
sponsible. 1t is true that in the eyes of
those who have lived under the iron
heel of despotism the two personages
killed were of the Lords anointed.
and the Americans only common sail
ors and citizens, and hence there is
more justification in Strengthening
on account of foreign titled
aristocracy than resorting to armed
protest against the killing of a large
number of plebian Americans.
