Velvet and fur and satin are the
popular materials here as throughout

the good work.
For the omnipresent knitting bag of

The bead bag has lost none Of its

A handsome brocade silk with the
design outlined in beads makes an
effective bag and one that calls for no
great skill or labor on the part of the

any costume are easily worked out. A
rather long narrow drawstring shape
with bead tassels across the bottom to
match the beading of the brocade is
good-looking for this type of bag.
Beads are used to relieve fur, too,

this combination. One model in seal

FEW WOUNDS BY COLD STEEL
ehrapnel and Shell Fragments Cause
Greatest Trouble Owing to Greater
Danger OF Infection.

Much Is said about the comparative
ly unimportant part played by cold
steel In the present war. The follow.
Ing passage from the article ON Sur
gerry, Military" in the New Interna-
tional Encyclopedia, would seem to In
dictate that conditions had not changed
much in that respect since the Franco
Prussian war; also that the general
classes of wounds remain essentially
the same.
"Shrapnel wounds are like those Of
the old round leaden musket balls, be-
cause Of their low velocity they are
more frequently lodged in wounds than
are rifle bullets. Shell wounds, as a
class, are much less frequent but far
more severe than shrapnel wounds.
Shell fragments cause complete de-
struction near the bursting point, but
effect less damage In more distant
zones. Both shrapnel and shell
wounds are usually infected, because
the missiles carry into the wounds
pieces of clothing and other foreign
matter. The danger of infection Is
much increased because of the greater
extent Of liberation. Wounds by bayo.
net, saber and lance occur so infre-
quently as to be of minor interest. Dur

Alaire had not confined her efforts to

with this work she had carried on a

FACE DEATH TO AID WOUNDED

One Of the splendid pages of this

the perfection of surgery that this re-

OF the bravery and the sacrifice Of sur

the dressing stations and the tempo

that a large number Of soldiers were

bled to death before they reached the

thing to be done. The surgeons and
their assistants, guided only by sense
of the high duty of their calling, did
that thing. They moved forward, es-

Music and cleaning the parlor have

When the housewife wants to play the

has cleaned the parlor taken a bath
and dressed herself in party clothes.

via the keys, work the pedals for all
she is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor, she can have it clean in a iiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means of
a special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

"skY LINE' LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington skyline" method of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method of
dragging out logs from the forest by
donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The skyline plan is to
run a cable through blocks or puleys
suspended at a great height on giant
trees, so as to form a sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hoiSted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other obstruc-
tons to the rollway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines, while the other is used to haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up;
1t is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air a log can, Of
course, be moved much faster than ON
the ground.

The annual death rate of the human
race is 33000,000. That's $1,000 q
day, 3,700 every hour, 81 every min

before they are sixteen years old; one
quarter of the human race die before
they are five years old. The average
length of human life is thirty-three
