coLoRED LEATHER ON


 Leather, which this season has been introduced for allover sets of collar and cuffs, and which was hinted at last spring in narrow pipings and the like in colors, is used also for guimpe decorations. In a recent display were seen a number of new guimpes of net with leather piping in black or red, models which subscribe not, alone to the vogue of shiny finishes, but like wise to that Of the black and white color combination and the favored touch of red.
 One guimpe shows a narrow red leather piping around the collar which rolls at the back, is pointed over the shoulder and shows straight slash down the centre of the front. Another with the leather piping in black, shows corresponding embroidered dots and heulstitching, also in black, on collar and jabot.

Loud Voices

Loud Voices
 Did you ever know loud-voiced person to be easily dominated or led-if they know you're trying to lead them?
 Loud-voiced persons may be dominated. Often they are. But it's not an easy task to accomplish. (You musn't jump at the conclusion, from this, that soft voiced persons are always easy to dom mate, either. Often they're harder to dominate in the long run.)
 The point is this: The loud voice is the natural expression of more than usual energy and vigor, both of mind and body, or of mind alone. More than this, 1t i. the sign that this energy is not held un- under restraint.
 This energy of the loud-voiced, con stantly out of subjection, often makes il hard to deal with them- It is not nec- essarily unreasoning obstinacy, though often it seems like it. Its because in the

oDD INCIDENTS IN AMERIcAN
 HISTORY
HOW WASHINGTON BECAME
 CAPITAL CITY

The question is frequently asked as to how Washington came to be select ed as the Capital City of the United States. Next in importance to the founding of a free and independent nationality, and the inauguration of a supreme legislature and executive gov- ernment, was the act of establishing 8 permanent Capital Before the loca- tion was decided upon there was Q great rivalry among a number of To- calities to possess this honor.
 The Government. for some reason or another found Philadelphia impracti- cable. The first place to be seriously considered was a location near the Falls of the Delaware River. A com mission was appointed to lay out a town in that section and they reported their proceedings to Congress, but no further steps were taken to carry the resolution into effect.
 Some were very strenuous for New York, and others proposed some con- venient place on the banks of the Susquehanna. To the latter proposi- tien Southern members, among whom posed. A compact was then entered was Mr. Madison, were unalterably op- into between the Friends Of Philadel- phia and the Potomac whereby it was stipulated that Congress should con- tinue to hold it's sessions in Philadel- phia for ten years, during which time buildings for the accommodation of the Government should be erected at some place to be selected on the Potomac.
 From the beginning Gen. Washington advocated the site which was finally fixed upon. and it's establishment there was due in large measure to his counsels and influence. Both Virginia and Maryland had each offered to eede tract of land to the General Govern ment, but by Act of March 30, 17s1. Washington was authorized to select the site and mark the boundaries, and this he did early in the year, and the cornerstone of the Federal building was laid on September IS, 1793.
 A more beautiful site for a large city could scarcely have been selected. The idea of George Washington was that the Capitol should be in the centre of the city, and that avenues should radi- ate from it at equidistant points. To complete his plan the metropolis should

THE FIRST RAGE.

Even though it is possible for but few to witness them yacht racing all ways awa&ens a widespread interest, es- pecfal1y when the contest is interna- tional. It is not a contest between yachts in which the Elsie, acting as de- fender Of the cup won last year by the Esperanto. is contending against the Bluencse,. the Canadian challenger, but it is a race of fishing schooners, and that commands attention all the more because of the fact that the vessels are of use for other than racing purposes.
 In the first contest the American de- fender made gallant fight under con- ditions that were a bit adverse In the first place the larger schooner, the Blue nose was travelling in seas that both cred it less than they did the Elsie while the latter suffered from the parting of balloon stay and later the~ loss of her foretopmast at time when such had an especial bearing upon the result. IL is not to be contended that the Elsie would have won the race but for this misfortune, for she was not in the lead when the break occurred, but 1t is evi- dent that they would have been of par ticular value to her in the last leg of the race at time when all possible sail was needed.
 Nevertheless the break didn't throw the American out of the contest. Cap tain We,ch game1y fought to the finish under his handicap fully aware of the fact that one race doesn't decide the se- ries and that a different result is pos sible when the Elsie has a chance tc display her full power. It is safe tc say that the loss of one race will sim ply serve to spur the American crew or to greater effort in the second one to- day. And even though the Blucnose should ultimately prove the winner, il Is a contest in which bona f1de fishing vessels are contesttng and in which the best boat and crew should win.

It is extremely desirable that the day be started with good appetite for breakfast and a sense of feeling fit The day is not started right un- less one has an optimistic outlook. This is largely assured by taking care Of the mornings nutritive needs.
 A substantial breakfast, light lunch and good dinner are required if one would live in tolerable comfort.
 It is safe to say that a person whc has no appetite for breakfast is not in normal condition.
 It is eating between meals and be- tween dinner and bedtime that plays the mischief with the human stomach in the morning. The nibbling of crack CTS and the eating of ice cream and candy between meals. not to speak of more substantial things, invites trOu- ble.

Sunshine is the heusewife's best anti septic It is hard for a cold to thrive in a house flooded in sunshine. Even if the members of your household are not at home during sunshiny hours, if they sit at night and sleep in rooms that have been flooded in sunshine and fresh air during the daytime they will reap the benefit. So forget the fact that sunshine fades rugs and hangings and let the sunshine for all it is worth during those months when the sunshine is none too strong, any, way.

 If the public works committee could get the bids for the public printing of their minds perhaps they would have time to attend to their own job and see that hundreds of taxpayers could have the privilege of using Doxology lane for their convenience.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Threatened Strike.

Mir. Editor: Will you kindly give me a little space in your paper?s I have al- ways believed there are two sides to every stcV and so far I have not read the railroad mems side. According to the press he is everything but a good fellow and whatever happens in the ex- pected strike will be laid at his door. After all. he is/a human being, who has got to live as well as a newspaper man, carpenter, briclklayer, or any other man, although the actual truth is that he does not receive as high a wage as those before mentioned. The railroad men have been called an overpaid class. This is not true. They certainly earn every cent of their pay, and the so-called high wage is overtime money. To earn this wage they must be out in all kinds of weather It doesn't matter If the cars are covered with ice, and, at night they must always carry lantern. It doesn't matter how careful a man may be, his life is all ways in danger. A wife or mother real izes this when she has had loved one crippled and sent to the hospital. There is no other job as hard on clothes and shoes as a railroad mans job. do not mean the ones that sit in an office and draw the only really high wages. Let them be the ones that have their thir- ty or forty thousand dollars a year wages cut, and then transportation charg- es could come down quick enough. But say the really much abused faboring class of railroad men do not deserve the raw deal they are getting from the press. Let anyone read the Railroad Trainman, where they will get facts, not newspaper fancies.

FOOTBALL COACH

Where are the trick plays OF the
old days that used to give the foot
ball fans a thrill? Incidentally they
offered food for conversation dur
ing the rest of the winter.
Glen Warner, now so successful.
ly coaching the University of Pitts
burgh, was the master magician OF
the old days. Tho football season
was not complete unless Warner
pulled some of his sleight OF hand
stuff in One OF the big games.
The old time football fans recall
without difficulty the year that
Warner pulled the hidden ball trick
against Harvard. One OF the fast
men In the Carlisle back field was
equipped with a sweater having an
elastic band around the bottom.
On the kick OF the Indians all
massed together. as was customary
IN the old days, TO form interference
for the player carrying the ball.
AS the Carlisle players massed to-
gether, the player who caught the
ball stuck IL under the back Of ths
sweater with the elastic equipment.
Then the players scattered and all
ran In the direction OF the Harvard
goal. The Crimson players we're be.
wildered, as no one seemed to be
carrying the ball. The Indian with
the ball Eecreted under his sweater
ran the length OF the field for a
touchdown. Harvard entered a
strenuous protest, claiming the play
illegal, but it stood.
Warner later pulled another one

he used a player secreted on the
side lines, covered by \ Of the big
blankets which a great many of the
teams used. The player would be

be lying nat on the ground. To
make the play all the more intricate,
1t was customary to have several
substitutes lying around the same
way, but Just outside the side lines.
At the start of play, the athlete con-
cealed along the side lines would
Jump to his feet, throw of the blan-
ket and then pull some weird trick

Those two plays were responsible
for section Z OF rule 90, which now
