IN THE STYLE PROCESSION
Fancy and Color Combinations Extend
to Cotton Frocks for Porch
and Morning Wear.

The fancy and color combinations so
much in evidence this spring extend to
simple cotton frocks for porch and
morning wear.
The lavender shades, green, blue, in
Guiding periwinkle, which have had
so much publicity, and the vivid dan
delion yellow which is now occupying
prominent place in the style process
sion, are all featured in glngham, with
rather small checks preferred. White
and one Of the colors are usually COM
bined In small check. OF course, the
vivid Scotch plaid ginghams are still
used especially for children, but the
preference is for two-tone effects in
the small patterns.
Linen Is to be worn more this sea-
son than for several years, due pri-
marily to the fact that it is more rea-
sonable in price, but an all-linen frock
does require a great deal of pressing
and laundering to keep it in present
able condition, as all linens rumple
very easily. When combined with
bingham a more practical frock is the
result.
One smart little Bingham frock seen
recently, in yellow and white check,
was trimmed with latticed insertions
formed of white organdle set length
wise of the skirt so as to give it a
panel effect, the waist being similarly
treated A row Of the insertion
trimmed each outer sleeve and the
neck was finished with an organdie
frill.
Organdie is a fabric that promises
to have a strong vogue for summer
and if a good quality is selected an
organdie dress will give splendid serv-
ice. 1t Is easy to launder, requiring
no starch and needs but little in the
way Of trimming.

these new feather shades. Instead
of being the fluffy affairs formerly
constructed of the curly ostrich tips
for boudoir lamps, these are long
feathers, with the center ribs forming
the sections of the lamp shade. A

OF INTEREST TO MECHANICS
How Hardened-s Steel Wheels Of Glass
Cutters May Be sharpened With
Little Trouble.

The hardened-steel wheels Of glass
cutters can be sharpened without re-
moving from the handle, in the follow
ing manner: Hold the cutter against
an emery wheel so that an angular face
Of the former is parallel with the
grinding wheel. The handle will be
ground awaysat the point far enough
to bring thetcutter into contact with
the emery wheel, but this will not
weaken it, as, when cutting glass, pres
sure is applied to it from the opposite
direction. After rough-grinding the
cutter it should be held in contact
with wet grindstone to insure a
smooth, fine edge. Caution should be
used in the rough grinding operation.
Dip the cutter in cold water frequent
ly to prevent it from getting too hot
and losing the temper. The cutter
will revolve when it comes in con-
tact with the grinding wheel and will
be ground evenly.-Popular Mechanics

Why Crow Is Called Criminal.

The Agricultural department issued
a biography Of the crow in which it
says:
ats ability to commit such misdeeds
as pulling corn and stealing eggs and
fruit and to get away unscathed Is lit
tie short of marvellous. Much of the
crows success in life is due to CO.
operation, and the social instinct of the
species has it's highest expression In
the winter roosts, which are some
times frequented by hundreds Of thou
sands Of crows. From these roosts
daily flights of many miles are made
in search Of food.

of it's destruction Of beneficial wild

of Mrs. S. s. McCrea and demanded
she go with them to the pastors

The child's story didn't sound right

and neighbors to wait until after
Easter before they made such ridic-

their approval. They were deter

again, and would be lucky II the
townsfolk didn't tar and feather him.
Call Upon Pastor.
The next call was at the Carlton
home. Here the pastor was startled
by agitated voices outside. His pro-
tests were of no avail. They swept
aside his explanations.
IF you dare preach in that church
tomorrow I will get up from the floor
and denounce you," cried mother In

them he saved the girl from injury

turned deaf ears to him. Mrs. Carl

How REGIONS Got Name.

Ultima Thule (Uppermost Thule)
was name given in ancient times by
the inhabitants of southern Europe to
the remote regions Of the unknown
north. The Greek navigator Pytheas
made voyage along the coast Of
Britain and wrote an account Of what
he learned about the Shetland islands
and Orkney islands and possibly the
north mainland, calling the region
Thule. The name became vague in it's
application, especially under the form
Ultima Thule.
Norway, Iceland, ETC.. bore the title
in their turn, and many strange su-
perstitions were current regarding the
region.

Smart Travelling Coats.

Smart travelling coats cut on very
full lines are developed from grizzled
woolens, usually in green tones as well
as coarsely woven cheviots notably in
yellow shades. Zenana oftentimes is
used as lining for these coats. Beige
and sand woolens in rough weaves
are used for street wraps made on
straight lines. Colored embroidery and
fancy girdles are means Of relieving
the severity of the plain woolens.

HOW:
POSTAGE METER MACHINE
DOES AWAY WITH WASTE.

DOHO avail WIFI w AO II.
"A postage meter machine, first
Of its kind authorized by the
Z United States Postoftice depart

postage directly on mail, was re-
Gently put into effect in the mail
ing department of one of the
great banks of New York city.
The postage meter is licensed
for use under special rules issued
by the United States Postoftice
department. Permit to use the
meter must be secured from the
third assistant postmaster gen.
eral. division of classification,
Washington, D. G. Application
must be made through the local
postmaster on postoftice form.
The machines are leased to
users by the manufacturers. The
lessee purchases the amount Of
postage and the postoffice de-
partment marks the amount on
the register Of the machine. For
example, should 500 worth Of
postage be bought, the meter
would be placed at 5000, which
would designate the amount in
value Of two-cent stamps. When
these are used the meter is then
taken back to the postoffice to
be reset at the amount desired
by the user:
The register door is locked and
sealed by the postottice after
each setting. Each meter prints
impressions corresponding to the
denomination and color of the
adhesive stamp for which it
takes the place.
The inventor says that it is
mechanically impossible to waste
metered postage, as the register
will not record unless an i'm
print is made on piece of mail.
A set of interchangeable steel
type for the date and hour of
mailing is furnished with each
meter. With stamps many thous-
ands Of dollars are wasted annu-
ally.
