is some" day for those of the sex
to break out the lighter head
pieces. Some few advance ones
have been seen on promenade

cool and changeable that few
have shown inclination TO discard
the favorite felts and worsteds
that have been 80 popular Since
early last fall. Derbies have been
few and far between for some

But the straw hat days are here

 The club board made no recon mendation for either town, but for warded it's resolution to Secretary of the Interior Fall. Delegations of older Indians had previously op- posed the move to either Toppenlsh or Wapato, claiming interruptions white men at these towns would get all the Indians money away from them.
 Allotments of Indian funds held in trust by the government are paid at the agency. Fort Simcoe's isloated location has been the principal rea- son for the proposed change.

 ARE ANSWERED SOON

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Ten thousand Christian Chinese troops and thous- ands of other Chinese, both Christian and non- Christian, gathered in Honan province in a monster open-air prayer meeting for rain, according to repre- sentatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church, working in China.
 Continued droughts during the spring and early summer in Honan province aroused fears among the Chi nese people of a return of famine and whole villages went on pilgrimages to the temple of the rain god in Yu Tao He valley to pray for rain.
 Major General Feng Yu Hsiang member of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal church of Picking and com mander of the Eleventh division of the Chinese army, sent out an invitation to all Christians to meet with his troops in prayer for rain.
 A grand review of the Eleventh di vision was held The national anthem was sung and an address was given and General Feng prayed that the sins of the Honan people be visited upon his head and the punishment oi drought be lifted.

DUBLIN FOLK
 ARE BLASE TO
 WAR TERR0RS
Special Correspondence)

DUBLIN, Oct. 13.-''The Provisional government expects attacks in various parts of the city tonight and the popu lation is warned to keep off the streets"
 This notice given the utmost pub licity caused a thrill for me when l landed in Dublin on a Saturday night It was with the feeling of an adventur. CT that I timidly stepped out of my hotel after dinner. I expected to find deserted streets, instead I found throngs. An armored car, with rifles pointing and bristling from all sides swept up the street. Somewhere in the distance I heard the crack of a rifle. I felt an atmosphere of war. The citizens of Dublin apparently felt perfectly safe, for they went happily on their way.
 Venturing further into the heart of the city, found Dublin a normal city, with normal Saturday night. Young blue-eyed, rosy-cheeked girls wandered aimlessly up and down the streets, hanging on the arms of brawny Lo- tharios. Housewives, burdened with Saturday night shopping, pushed their way through the crowds. LOiterers gathered about the smoking gas-flare of the inevitable faker. On a street corner a group of musicians enter tained crowd, and the clattering of pennies before them told of a free hearted people.
 Again in the distance there was the cracking of rifles. No one seemed to hear them except myself. Another and yet another armored car went shooting by.
 On all sides there were signs of war and the noises of war, but Dublin seemed not to care.
 Dublin is blase to the terrors of war For years there has been spas IlOulC War III DuDllH, anu Illc ptOpIC are accustomed to war hence they go about their business unmindful of turk ing death or danger.
 Dublin is worn and tired of war, despite the apparent carefree air Of it's people. No normal city can with stand years of open and guerilla war fare without tiring of it. In the faces of the people of Dublin, beneath their smiles, are the marks of War-weary people, The Irish people are kind soft-spoken and gentle people, whose nature is in danger of being gradual ly warped by continuous warfare.
 There is courage in Ireland, cour- age and to spare, but I gather that what Ireland wants most is peace, and certainly what Ireland needs most is peace.

COAL STRIKE
 C0DSEND
 BRITISH MINERS

LONDON, Oct. 14-It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, and while the American coal strike may have been an ill breeze for the United States it blew close to 15,000,O00 of good American money into England.
 "The American coal strike was a Godsend to the English miners" ac- cording to Herbert Smith, leader of English Miners Federation
 Demands for British coal, which came as the result of the American strike, have put the coal industry in England on it's feet and miners have had their first full weeks of work for more than a year. A Winter that threatened the utmost poverty does not look as black now as it did dur ing the early Summer months and there are no longer grave fears of economic suffering among British miners.
