Il i:
Human nature is quite capable of al
most any endurance that it puts upon
itself. and it can steel itself to wearing
clothes from the first Of october to the
first of May in exactly the same condi-
ton as when they were first worn; but
human nature likes diversion, and di-
version is good for it. and the weari-
ness of the clothes we have is abolish
ed and our senses are stimulated by DO
ing something. We care not what, to the
garments we have.
Those who are at the source of
things and who are sending straws
down the channel of fashions during
every week of the year realize that we
all like the small thing that changes
the big one into something different

the winter and sleeves differ in length

IONS Some Of these changes are due to
commercial reasons: others are sent
adrift by the individualist who refuses
to be one of the also rams.
Here are some Of the things that
have changed:
In the evening gowns the broad
strap over the shoulders, with or with
out the small puff sleeve, that goes
around the top of the arm like brace
let, is not nearly as smart as the new
lattice sleeve. made of tulle and reach

the shoulder in the manner of other
days and fitted snugIy up into the arm
hole in a line that IS much more decent
and becoming than the one we have &C
copied for two years.
From the under part of the armhole
come two broad, crushed streamers Of
tulle. either in the color of the bodice
or opposed to it, which wrap about the
arm In lattice fashion. leaving large V
shaped openings. When these stream
ers reach tho wrist they are snugly
held in place by a cabochon of crystal
or small glass stones set in bullion.
There may be two tassels Of tulle or of
crystals from this cabochon, but it is
probably better to omit them. because
Of their ability to dip into and catch

Defy Zero Weather
With Cadillac Eight

In spite of temperatures which
ranged from Is to 81 degrees below
zero; in spite of snow drifted at times,

and in many places celebrating all

and r. H. Dunsford, Of Winnipeg, re-
Gently drove a Cadillac Eight from
Moose Jaw to Winnipeg.
Even under the combined difficulties
of bitter cold and deep drifts, the trip
Of 476 miles was made in 26 hours of
running time. On several occasions
it was necessary to buck snow-drifts
which were higher than the radiator.
When the car was sent into these at
a speed of IS or 40 miles an hour,
the snow flew as though a snow-plow
were boring in. The only real peril
encountered was on the final stretch,
from Poplar Point to Winnipeg. Here
the road was drifted full, from fence
to fence, and there was no means Of
telling the location of bitches, open
culverts, and the like. However, Mr..
Levers piloted his car through with
out mishap.
Time and again, at the various
points where stops were made, Mr.
Levers says he and Mr.. Dunsford
were asked where they came from and
where they were going. When they
said they were on their way from
Moose Jaw to Winnipeg, it was eth
er not believed, or they were told that
the trip was impossible.

.SANATORIUM At
SEASIDE ASKED
BY STATE BOARD

Hartford. Feb. 22.-The story Of the
ticut during the last two years was
made public: yesterday in the form of
a narrative written into the report Of
the state tuberculosis commission. 1t
is a story Of gripping interest, for
there is with it the record of many
persons, who, having been treated at
the Senatorial are now pursuing their
previous vocations with restored
health and are producers in the eco
nomic life
The cry is for more beds and for
seaside sanatorium for. treatment of
bone and glandular tuberculosis The
research work of the commission is
receiving attention through the coun-
try, and the most enthusiastic reports
over the results are those from New
York, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
New Hampshire, Maryland and OK
ford university, England The pub
1icity campaign against tuberculosis
has been extended and intensified du-
ring the last two years and literature
has been written and printed in many
languages to be understandable to the
states cosmopolitan population.
+ Recreation halls in sanatoria are
needed and these have been planned
at a prospective cost of $4,000, which
amount has been included in the es-
Inmates now before the legislative
committee on appropriations.
Glass sliding sashes to displace
canvass curtains during extreme win
ter weather are desired for the mfr
maries.
The number Of cases of tuberculo-
sis in the state is placed at 10000 and
the number of beds in the sanatoria
is only $50. The demand for accom-
mediation is ever increasing as the
public realizes more and more the adj
vantages of institutional treatment of
the disease.
The commissions report went to
Gov. Holcomb. One striking point in
it that the commission in the last
two years, despite the enormous in
crease in the price of everything has
kept within its appropriations and re-
quires no deficit appropriation. The
planned central portion of the Shell
ton infirmary has been completed and
$1715 Of the original appropriation Of
$25, 900 has been turned back into the
treasury.
