ALL LIES SAYS HARDBOILED
 SMITH IN LETTER TO SMITH

Phoenix August 20-That the "yel- pure falsehoods about his career while in command of prison farm No. 2 is the statement of Lieut.. Frank II. Smith received in Phoenix yesterday. It is his opinion that the papers so accused are fabricating their stories far neither the court martial or the congressional Investigating committee has arrived at the truth of affairs over there.
 In speaking of the stories which have been printed about him, Lieut., Smith has the following to say T you all ould not believe the reports the yellow sheets publish here. They take a hal truth and convert it into tissue of lies. I guess it is to sell papers they do that, but it may De expensive for them before they get | through
 In speaking of his trial and supbse- quent hearing before the congression- al committee, Smith said: 'AThe only liar among the sergeants lied as usual
 before the subcommittee and as us-
 ual placed me in hard position" l Smith also desires to correct the re- port that he was dishonorably dis
 charged from the army. He states he
 has been dismissed from the service without the stigma of lost citizenship attached.

COTTON LINGERIE IN FAVOR
Servlceabie Garments Are Made on
Simple Lines With Little or No
Lace Trimmings.

Lingerie made of cotton materials
has again found favor in exclusive and
high-priced styles. When cotton went
up in price the difference between the
cost Of silk and cotton garments be-
came negligible.
Silk, therefore, because of its prac-
ticability and ease of laundering, grew
in popularity till 1t began, to be made
In tailored styles for everyday use, and
it's position Of aristocracy was some
what undermined as a consequence.
While fancy models are still featured
in crepe de chine and georgette, the
bulk Of the demand Is for serviceable
garments made on simple lines with lit
tie or no lace trimming.
On the other hand, with the increas-
ing perfection of the design Of the
Philippine hand-embroidered and filet-
trimmed garments, and with the ad-
vent Of batiste as a delicate cotton
material for lingerie, many Of the new
high-priced and exclusive models are
Of these types.

NEW SPRING HATS
Headgear Displays More Trim
ming Than in the Past.
BRIGHT CoIors and Gay Flowers Are
Used In Profusion on Many
of the Models.

Paris has said the word and hats
shall display more trimming this sea-
son, in consequence, than they have
for many days past. Women had
grown accustomed to the hat OF line
and nothing more and they liked it,
but they have bobbed over to the new
style and the streets are a-bloom with
colors that are bright and flowers that
recall the days of the Easter bonnet.
1t is hard to say whether the hats
are large or small or medium sized,
for there are samples Of each size and
shape-the small ones being by far
the most popular for this time Of year
when the winds are likely to blow a
gale and when wells are necessary to
keep the hat anywhere near the place
where 1t naturally belongs.
They are summer hats with which
we are concerned, but straw, the sum-
mer hat material, seems to be the least
considered this season. There are hats
of silk, hats Of satin, hats Of rib
bon, hats of feathers, hats Of flowers,
Of straw.
The flower hats are, perhaps, the
most successful because they have
about them most of the feeling of
spring. A whole bunch Of flowers set
on top of lady's head speaks most
eloquently Of the change Of the sea-
son. And then the flower hats are
done in such charming manner just

fat to the shape and the shape hug.
ging the form of the head. The lit
tie veil that ties it all together is just
the touch which makes the whole com
plete.
Embroidery, which has found it's way
into most Of the dresses which one
sees nowadays, has taken foremost
place in the making Of hats. A French
hat that has reached these shores is
made of nasturtium-co colored satin
one of those nasturtium shades
and 1t has a narrow, straight brim
with full, rather puffy crown that
is embroidered all over the surface
with winding design of black silk
embroidery. The brim is faced with
black satin to improve the effect.

A Yarn Hint.

With yarn still at premium it is
an economy to ravel up the old
stretched sweater and knit it over
again. If you do not want to wash
or dye the yarn you will be puzzled
how to make it smooth enough to work
with. There is simple process for
you to follow. Wrap it in towel or
old cloth and put it in a steamer,
colander, or double boiler over boiling
water. The steaming freshens it so
that it looks like new.
