the tam O. shanter or draped effect
being very popular.
It would seem that the small hat
has had it's day, or at least, that the
large one is coming into it's own, for
many of the cavalier type, heavilt
trimmed with ostrich plumes, one per-
haps dropping toward the shoulder,
are shown.
Of course, brown predominates
among the colors, but this shade per-
mits so many vraiations that no idea
of sameness is given. Many vivid
shades verging on orange or nastur-
tium are used. Taupe, blue and black
are also used. Black even extending
its vogue into the realm of negligees
and lingerie as we'll as gowns.
Just as softness is a feature of fab
RIGS so it is in hats, the stiff blocked
shapes not being esen this season.
Soft hats in French felt are much in
demand for street wear, tan, blue and
SaPaSiiS SoioIiiiSo pSlllS NcIy popu-
lar. Beavers in the semi-tailored
shapes are also featured.
Soft rolling sailors of duvetyn or
velvet are shown, strongly corded so
that they will retain their shape in all
kinds of weather, and yet remain oer-
fectly flexible. They are often trim
med with embroidery or flowers which
are made from the material or of a
contrasting shade of velvet and are
STITCHED on with cehnille.
Wonderful metal brocades are used
for crowns, or are sometimes used to
fashion the entire hat, if it be a small
one. Fur will be much used later on,
mole, beaver and monkey, though this
latter fur is used more as a feather
or fringe trimming than as material.
Ostrich plumes, which show bold,
multi-color tintings are used on dark
er velvet hats and carry out the effect
of brightness which is the tendency of
this fall.
Duvetyn, that soft chamois-like ma
terial, has been used to create charm
ing street hats. 1t lends itself read
lily to embroidery, and is usually made
up in semi-tailored styles.

Any woman who can not afford to
buy factory built fireless cooker can
make one with little expense.
No radiators are used in some home
made fireless cookers, while in others
radiators of iron or soapstone are put
in to supply extra heat. In place of
the regulation type of radiator, some
ingenious club women in Alameda
county, California, are using fiat,
Water-worn rocks as a substitute The
stones were gathered from a creek.
Ordinary baling wire was wound
around the stone and made into a
handle. Data has been kept by one
OF the women as to the length of time
required to heat such a stone as COM
pared to heating a radiator of soap
stone or iron. Her conclusion was
that the rocks heat as quickly as the
usual types of radiator and give as
satisfactory results.

road under construction, is easily
leader among the rest of the states
in road construction, when her
small area is considered. Pennsyl-
vania is probably the leading east
ern state in mileage of road con-
struction, and it is pointed out that
for that state to equal Delaware
she should have under construc-
tion 2400 miles of road, whereas
she has but 600 or 700 miles. The
west is not up to the east in this
respect.
Delaware roads, as at present
constructed, are of the very high
est type. In fact, no roads are
being built except those of brick
or concrete construction. Maca-
dam has been abandoned, and the
cost of maintenance is to a great
extent put into the initial cost, all
of which is very gratifying to the
users of our State highways.

in fact, a wealthy Frenchman. These
daily fortunes of $25O,OOO will be dis
tributed each day, Sundays included,
for two years from the date this huge
lottery is officially made into a law.
Not only will there be the larger for
tunes of $3.50 ,000,> but the originator
OF the idea, proposes that, in addition,
there shall be two lucky numbers of
100000 each week for two years and
ten lucky numbers of $4,000 each
week during the two years. After
two years there is to be a weekly dis
tribution of s25O,OO0 in prizes Of var
ious size.
Imagine the wealth of the French
man who calmly sits down to .his cafe
noir au cognac and gathers in the
lucky capital prize each day for two
years. 1t is contemplated that there
will be such a rush for tickets for this
lottery, which will be run under gov
ernment supervision and will be en-
tirely open and above board, that no
advertising will be necessary and that
the expenses of conducting the gigan-
tice game of chance will be confined
to comparatively small clerical
staff. There will beenough "blanks",
of course, to insure the governments
profits on the venture and the repay
ment of the great loan that it is pro-
posed to make"

TEACHING FOREIGN
ERS TO USE AMER1-
CAN FOODS
Government Agents Demon
Use Of Fruits and
Vegetables

Many of the foreigners who come to
these shores do not know how to make
the best use of American foods. IN
their own land they have eaten fair
" well-baanced ration. In America,
due to lack of knowledge of many OF
our foods, their diet is prone to be
confined to a few articles and to be
one-sided. The me-demonstration
agents working under the supervision
OF tn department Of Agriculture and
the State agricultural; colleges are
cndeavoring to remedy this condition
and to teach these people American
methods of food selection and prepa-
ratiIh.
St. Louis county, Mimi. has many
Finnish people who heretofore have
eaten very few vegetables in the sum-
mer and practically none IN the winter.
The home demonstration agent of the
county spent much time last summer
teaching the use of American fruit and
vegetables to these people.
Many mistakes were made by them
at first because of their lack of knowl-
edge of certain vegetables and their
uses. One Finnish gardener planted
squash in a solid row through the GEN.
ter of his garden and was astonished
and dsgusted that the vines spread
over most of his small garden. "Must
| wait until cucumber is all yellow
before eating it," and "What part and
how do YOU cook squash ?" are typical
questions the agent answered daily.
Some Finnish communities have de-
veloped such a liking for American
pickles that the me-demonstration
agent has daily calls for directions for
making them. The recipes are given
if their recipients promise that only
the older members of the family eat
them and that they learn how to pre-
pare carrots and greens for the young
children. In most cases they comply
willingly.
At the county fair this fall large
number of foreign women who had
Just learned to can were induced to
enter their samples of their work.
They were delighted at receiving a
number of premiums. The Finnish
women also made an exhibit Of home
made soap and of food products pccI-
uiar to their country. This exhibit
was given prominent place, and the
interest of the crowd caused the f,r-
eign women much pride and delight.

THE LATEST SCHEME.

Cedar Rapids Republican: They are
Matching up all sorts OF schemes now
not only to develop the country as
they say but to rob the suckers of
what little they have saved UP. Down
south they are goisg to reclaim large
alluvial tracts down on the rivers.
These alluvial tracts We're at one time
known as swamps and they probably
are such still The scheme will proba-
bly, be for a gang of promoters to do
the developing and the sucking, espec-
tally of northern money. They will
start great cooperative companies at
a few cents on the dollar. They will
issue enough of the stock to make
them rich even if they sell it for only
ten cents on the dollar. That is one
of the alluring things about such
schemes-The stock is cheap when it
is offered you but it is about to go up.
Hurry or it may have advanced before
you get your bit of the great BONANZA.
But don't hurry for there will be more
stock left tomorrow. All they have to
do is to start the printing press again.
In the meantime, take 1t from us
who have been farmers, and that is
that there never was a cooperative
farming scheme that was worth even
ten cents on the dollar. Those are just
promotion schemes and when the
lands have been unloaded the devil
generally gets it while the victims of
the great fake take up their journeys
to some poor house.

AND BRYAN WANTS 1T.

Naturally William J. Bryan is ardent for
government ownership of railroads, and he was
really the first American Of prominence to urge
lit. On return from a foreign tour some years
ago he proclaimed it as his new panacea for
economic evils, and next best in virtue to free
coinage of silver which the people had decided
not to try. His suggestion to take the railroads
over fell SO flat that he soon subsidized. But
now he eagerly renews it and argues that the
country has had no fair test of what the govern
ment can do in the way of operating transpor-
tation lines.
But there is reason to believe that the
try viii consider the test of the past eighteen
months sufficient When earnings fall off a
quarter of million dollars in a year while at
the same time operating expenses increase by
over billion dollars, nearly billion is added
to freight and passenger rates and the service
ispoor beyond comparison with former years. it
seems probable that the people will be disposed
to accept it as a satisfying demonstration that
private ownership is best for all concerned.
Trained railway experts under the double neces-
sity of pleasing the public and keeping their
properties better to be trustd to operate the
roads successfully than political director gen
erals able to call upon the taxpayers to make
their deficits good. Any project that Mr.. Bryan
advocates is prina facie to be regarded with
distrust

The ciuaret Law.

Des MONIES Carita': The cigaret is
sweeping along. a majority of the men
who smoke. smoke cigarets. This form
OF smoking has been considered great
evil and an effort has been made in
Iowa to suppress it. At the present
time the sale or giving cigarets away
TO anyone. old or young. is prohibited.
Y ct the sale of cigarets in Iowa is prac-
tically universal. A PROPOSITION is now
pending in the thirty-eightn general
ASSEMBLY to license the sale of ciga-
rets TO men above twenty-one years of
age, and then to attempt to prohibit
the sale OF cigarets to minors entirely.
The case is far enough along in Iowa
to make it evident that the cigaret is
too thoroughly established to be to-
tally prohibited. The cigaret is regard
cd as nuisance by those who do not
smoke, and it must be a regular joy
to those who do, inasmuch as they
stick to let under all circumstances
End at all times and places. However
big nuisance it may he, ii is lot a
nuisance to the majority. The present
Iowa law is Il failure and It is entirely
rational to Try something else. If ciga-
rets can be kept from the boys that
would be great achievement. And IL
