HOW PRESIDENTS ACT.

Both President Cleveland and
President Roosevelt had ugly strike
situations to deal with. Both used
firmness and the strikes were of
short duration, as compared to the
coal and railroad strikes the Ameri-
can people are now enduring.
There are approximately 115,OOO,-
600 of people in the United States.
About one million men are on strike
One hundred and fourteen million
people must suffer loss and inconver
fence because one million strikers
and one hundred or so operators re-
fuse to obey the law of the land.
If Mr.. Roosevelt were president he
would show his big teeth and say
"Now, see here, fellows, was elect
ed by this 115,00O,000 of people to b.
boss of this job. l want you to un
derstand / am boss. You get bus,
and settle your row or will settle j
lin short order" Both sides woul
understand what he meant.
If Henry Ford were president h
would say: Come in on the lawr

lean fix things up l will throw
Icouple of mahogany desks out of tn
office and cut down the overhead, ii
stead of cutting wages"

W. and other stuff which is all very
well in its way, but it does not neigh
enough. To our mind the idea OF
safety first at crossings is for the
counties and the railroads to join
hands and have every crossing &c
over or under the railroad tracks as
they do in England and as this paper
has explained to the readers so many
times. We note that the new Dixie
highway down the east coast will
eliminate all railroad crossings BY
going along the tracks in many
places with straight road or max
ing bridges and viaducts to go owe
the tracks and there will be no NOR
railroad accidents with autos on tina
road. This is really worth more thai
all the big blow about safety in tn
world. If the railroads and tn
counties would take the money nov
spont on publicity for Safety firsts
and put their heads and hearts tc

HIMSELF IMPOSSIBLE TASK

Amos, has announced that he will be-
gin publication of a daily newspaper

Mr.. Curry's announcement, stating
that the paper would be named "Fhe

pose would be to spread the faith
and love of God amongst men-to
foster and create patriotism for our
flag-to protect our home and busi-
ness from the hypocrite and espe-
, cially to the uplifting and the ad-
vancement and the fostering Of pros
perity of the state of Florida, the

tants thereof"

so cleverly curled and arranged that
they look almost handsomer than na-

On a frock of Gamma colored crepe
(this is the newest tone OF red) there
was a girdle made of thick roses
shaped from the same crepe. The
flowers were placed close to each
other so that, at the low waistline
and under the bloused bodice. they
gave only the divergence of line which
was necessary there.
Then they are making big curly

Folded Bands of Trimming.

In the picture OF the house frock
on this page you will see folded bands
OF the frock's fabric. which is soft
crepe de Chine by the way, made into
lattice work that furnishes the trim
ming and makes q portion OF the
dress at the same time. Could any
thing be more effective? Could you
hope to find a more Elusive, feminine
thing with which to make yourself
look charming? And only think of
the ease with which it has been ac-
complished!
You take a little strip of your ma
terial and fold 1t together, subjecting
it to the weight of a hot iron to press
it into place. Then you create your
trimming bands by basting the little
folds on a stiff piece of paper and
fastening them together where they
cross so that the design will be held
firmly in place. That is simplicity
with the greatest degree of its ex-
preston and you will find that any
number of the spring and summer
gowns are made with some portion
of this character of decoration.

bination is at its best.
But they are doing the organdie-

are using brown taffeta with orange

with violet organdie, and so on through
all the color unions that are possible
in this direction.

Braided Belts.

For the heavier sports dresses we
are finding braided belts made much
in the manner Of the trimmings just
described. Because Of the weight Of
the material now in question the oper-
alton is just a little different.
Long strips Of tweed or homespun
about half inch in width are used and
each of these is bound with narrow
bit of grosgrain ribbon or silk braid.
Then four or five OF the strips are
taken together and plated to make
n belt from four to six inches in width.
1t makes a band that is thick and
hunky looking and entirely suitable
for the sports dresses which have
taken all the young women in New
York by storm. AS a matter Of fact,
they don't like to wear anything else.
They are only happy in dresses Of
this character and different sort Of
belt helps to give an individuality
impart charm.

Jewels for sport clothes are not

other incongruous ornament along

Gossiping and the habit of de-

desire to talk when the mind is

Editorial Correspondence
The Unguarded Tongue

If the origin of the greatest
troubles, the most disagreeable
episodes, the most deep-seated
and long continued animoslties in
every town, village or COM
munity were traced, it would
be found in perhaps the majority
of cases that light words, idle
gossip, harsh wit and satirical
speeches were the cause of more
unhappiness and more hatred
than all other causes put to-
gether.
If it were considered how great
is the injury done byevil speaking
malicious tattling and silly gossip,
all but the hopelessly malignant
would exercise the greatest care
over their speech which relates
to the good name of others.
Thinking lightly, one might
suppose that ill deeds would
reach further and strike deeper
than i'll words.
But it is not so. An i'll deed
may only scratch the skin, while
i'll words sink their barbs to the
very heart.
The light and idle word has
embittered more lives, wrecked
more homes and excited angrier
passions than has the bullet, and |
is constantly the cause of the
greatest heart burning, trouble,
distress and despair to those
innocent of wrongdoing or wrong
intent.
Jealousy, envy, malice are will
full murderers, but the light
word, spoken without thought or
Evil intent, is a deadly blunder-

Not only is the reindeer priced
highly for Its flesh, but the skins are
valuable for glove-makng. Tanned
with the hair on, they are very light,
and robes made from the soft tanned

probably by far the warmest covering
known. These might become ex-
