turbans and small hats, swell the num-
Der of designs that furnish July and
the following two months with their
own peculiar millinery.
In the group of hats pictured there
are three that are entirely different,
represented. At the top is a large hat
of gold-colored georgette crepe faced
with black panne velvet. Small fig
nres embroidered in black, white and
blue silk, make up it's decoration. Be
low it is hat of taffeta braided with
soutache. Navy blue, black and white
are the best looking models Of this
kind. Navy blue taffeta either en-
broidered, or machine stitched or
braided in white, is a great favorite.
The third hat is Of white yedda
braid trimmed with a wide featli-
er band and three small white wings
that are an extension Of the band.
This hat will have ended it's service
with the last day of August, but the
others will last through September
or longer.

PRAYING PALM TREE DEAD
Used to PROSTATE itself in the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang.

The praying palm tree of Faridpur,
about which certain interesting facts
were published, is dead. 1t may be
remembered that this tree used to pros
trate itself in the evening while the
temple bells rang, calling the people
to prayer, and it erected its head in
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, to the bewilderment of
thousands of Hindus, who naturally
came to look upon it as the abode of
some "devata" (god). Hundreds Of
fered pujahs to the unknown "devata,"
Which all went to fill the pockets of
the owner Of the tree. Miraculous
cures were reported as result of pu-
jah offerings.
%'he curious phenomenon attracted
the attention of Sir ]. G. Bose, who,
after much difficulty, obtained permits
sion of the owner of the tree to inves-
tigate the matter. He devised special
instrumental Of swadeshi manufac-
ture-and began to. take records. He
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise Of temperature and rose with it's
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsus-
pected fact that all trees were moving,
such movements being in response to
changes in their environment.
Sir ]. G. Bose holds the opinion that
''the whole of the vegetable world, in
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes in their environment and re-
spond to them by unmistakable signals.
They thrill under light and become de-
pressed by darkness; the warmth of
summer and frost of winter, drought
and rain, these and many other hap
penings leave subtle impression on
the life of the plant"

When July inaugurates the season
Tor vacations and women buy the last
Of their summer millinery, experience
proves that they turn their backs on
flowers and summary strawS. Hereto
fore they have bought light felt hats, or
tie heavier straws, like milan, with
white trimming, or have even antici-
pated the natural season for velvet
and chosen to wear it out of season.
For several summers considerable
black velvet has been worn in August.
But this anticipation of the season for
velvet spoiled their zest for it when
fall really arrived.
There is a new order of things this
year. Designers appreciated that wom-
en- wanted for late summer something
different from the hats that had gone
before and bought velvet because lit.
tie else was offered them. They have
produced some lovely hats of fabrics
that are to serve for late summer and
between seasons wear and they have
proved Immediately successful. These
hats are made Of taffeta or ribbon or
georgette crepe or felt yelled with
georgette. Their trimmings are odd,
nat ornaments, made of materials in
the workroom, or embroidery with
chenille or silk or braiding with
soutache braid. Ornamental pins, hav-
ing rather large fancy heads, help out
In this respect. Besides these fabric
hats, turbans made entirely of feath-
ers, and white Milans, wing trimmed

we believe Auditor Darst has sound
ed a necessary note OF warning at a
time when many have formed a hasty
judgment that the primary law is a
failure. We have found ourselves on
the verge Of forming such Judgment
without the proper retrospective re-
Election to the old convention days
The largest and most enthusiastic con-
vention we recall ever being held in a
magisterial district casting normal
party vote Of upward Of 500 consisted
Of some 125 voters. This was an un-
usual occasion, in a contest IN which
much enthusiasm and heat mad been
aroused. The meeting was 20 dele
gate the continent Of the district to
two men, who should represent it at
state convention. Sometimes the
sentiment was faithfully represented,
at other times it was not.
When We recall these things we are
forced in all fairness to conclude that
whatever the shortcomings Of The pri-
mary system, it is far better 20 have a
fifty or forty per cert. expression
upon the choice Of candidates Directly
than twenty-five per cent delegated
expression.
The chief disappointment in the pri-
mary system is its failure TO give the
poor candidate an equal chance with
the rich. This it was beliey ed thai
it would do but does not. 1: seems
that there is no remedy for this con-
dition, save with the thinking pro-
cesses of the people themselves. We
have got to reconstruct the reasoning
processes of the masses in order to
remedy this difficulty In fact our
whole political plan must undergo a
change If this is to be accomplished.
The primary is not worse in this re-
spect than the old convention system,
so that this evil cannot be eradicated
by merely going back to a system
which is filled with other and greater
evils.
We would also earnestly suggest to
those who delight in tiakering with
our laws, that it would be wise to let
the law stand without lingering long
enough for the people to become IA
miliar with its basic features. Since
the system was embraced we have had
two elections; the rules and regula-

Two years ago the principal campaign argument OF
the Democratic party consisted of the phrase He kept
us out of war" This year. in West Virginia at least,
the program is to claim the election of Democratic
candidates will shorten the from six months to a
year That is to say this is the program if Former
senator Chiffon is so deeply in the confidence of the
powers that be the Democratic party in this state
that he spoke them in the address he made yeste-
day at the Democratic committee meeting at Parkers-
burg Every time the Democratic party addresses
itself to the situation it takes attitude which
demonstrates that the business is disaseful to it
It either out get out and is not very
particular about how to be achieved This
equivocal attitude should put the American people on
their guard The best guarantee they can give that
the war will be prosecuted to speedy and righteous
finish is to el>ct Republican congress this fall The
Republican party in favor Of carrying on the war
with the utmost possible vigor to conclusion which
was admirably stated the peace terms enumerated
