COOL WEATHER
DELAYS CUTOFF
Dope in Ditch Helps to Kill
Moss Growth - Water
for Another Week

The situation on the canals of the
district was radically improved by
the cooler weather of the past week,
and by a treatment of copper sui
phate which cleaned, out the green
moss for the time. Just how long this
treatment will be effective we do not
yet know. The warmer weather of
the past three days has reduced the
head materially, but the deliveries
are still fairly good. So far as we can
see now, we can run at least a week
longer without shutting off.
The treatment used to kill the.
moss consists of two barrels of cop
per sulphate, fed in at the headgates
over a period of three hours. This
gives solution of about one part in
a half million; a solution too weak to
affect anything except algae. 1t does
rot even affect water for drinking
purposes, and is used in city reser-
voirs to kill moss. A dose for the
ditch costs about 500.
The water weeds keep right on
growing but by keeping constantly
at them with chain and scythe we
have so far lsept them within bounds.
A further report on the situation
will be published next week.

BRIGHT COLORS
ARE FALL STYLE
Mrs. Rodgers Says East is
Introducing Interesting
Features this Year

Inc DfllllanC, VlVlQ cOlofS OF
gowns, hats and everything the wom-
an of fashion wears were the out
standing features shown in the East
this year." said Mrs. Rodgers, who
has just returned from buying trip
There will be no startling changes
in the lines for fall and winter but
the coloring will be the 1oudest' we
have ever seen. The color most used
will be pansy, a beautiful purple
shade. Following closely in popularity
will be pencil blue, another pretty
shade just introduced.
Mrs. Rodgers attended buyers week
in Chicago where fashion pageant
was staged, and also similar affair
in st. Louis. Purchases made included
many of the pretty things now being
given the advanced showings for fall
"Hair is being worn again in the
East" said Mrs. Rodgers, sand along
with it will be all sorts of accessor-
les, such as beads, and earrings,
bracelets and SO on. Light shades in
hosiery still retain their popularity,
with leaning toward plain white
again, worn with black shoes.
"One of the novel features being
shown is the sleeve consisting of only
cuff and puff at the wrist with open
sleeve above. The dresses feature
tunic effects, inverted pleats and
wide box pleats are also shown. Metal
trimming is being largely used.
"Velvet hats for dress with felt
and velours for sport wear are the
main features in the millinery line.
Hats are decorated with metal trim
mings, hand painting or little bunch
of glycerined ostrich feathers placed
at one side.
"Coats are short with large collors
which hug the neck and show straight
lines and flares; much fur trimming
being used. Brown is the predominant
ing color for: coats this year. In fact
verything in ladies apparel is very
interesting. Many of the newer things
will be in Kennewick in time for the
fall fashion show which we expect
to be able to put on early next
month"

tul voice of Hooty the Owl. Over in
the old orchard he heard the voice of
Hootys little cousin, Spooky the
Screech Owl. Danny listened a min.
ute.
That's all right" said he, talking
to himself in that funny little squeaky
voice of his. There is nothing to fear
from those two fellows. 1 know where
they are, and here's hoping they'll
stay there. Now. if Reddy Fox and
Old Man Coyote keep away 1 guess

Just then he heard Reddy Fox bark

he heard Mrs. Reddy answer A few
moments later he heard Old Man

If Danny hadn't heard 1t so often he
might have thought that he was list

IhoSe voices were a great relief to
Danny. He wasted no time now He
started right along down the bank OF
the Laughing Brook, keeping as much
under the overhanging- grass as he
could. He was looking for a narrower
place that he could swim across.
He had just about made up his mind
that there wasn't a narrower place
when those banks seemed to draw to-
gether, and then Danny came to a
mossy old log that made a bridge
right across.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo,

The aspects of tomorrow are be-.
nign. rather than stimulating, and
therefore, eminently propitious for all
Sunday observances and recreations.
In the evening they assume a rather
adverse character, and, though not
presaging any conditions of an ex-
tremely disappointing nature, they do
indicate the necessity of self-control
and equa nimity of disposition. Tri-
fes, which under other auspices would
not cause ripple on the surface,
may, unless you will it otherwise, take
on an importance that they are very
far from deserving, thereby causing
difference and disagreement.
A child born tomorrow will be sub
ject to the usual ailments Of infancy,
but, with right environment and
proper nutrition, will attain physical
normalcy with very little difficulty. In
disposition a girl will be impatient of
restraint, self-willed and never anx-
ious to put herself out to please any
one-except herself. Unless her tenn
permanent is re-created during girl
hood, she, although bright, witty. and
intelligent, will never give or receive
! much happiness as a woman. On the
other hand, a boy will prove amen
able to all good influences, be unset
fish. generous to fault, and although
not endowed with any special talents
or gifts, will prove a success, just be-
cause of his underlying virtues and
sterling character.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have a very dominating character, are
masterful and insistent, and have
been known to be very disagreeable in
| the face of opposition, or when things
do not go your way. You are mood
ish, and at times subject to fits of
depression. You, however, recover
from these quickly, and they seem to
| persuade you to redouble your work
ing efforts.
Your sense of justice is very strong
ly developed, and you chafe, not only
under the wrongs inflicted on yourself
! but even more SO under those of 9TH
erS. You are an extremist, very
strong in your likes and dislikes, but
wholehearted and vigorous in your
love.
Although not gifted as an artist,
all that relates to art, music or litera-
ture interests you greatly.
Well known persons born on this
date are: James Clinton, soldier;
Francis Scott Key, author of THE
Star Spangled Banner; Laurent S.
Juneau, founder of Milwaukee; Henry
:. Bowditch, physician William T. G..
| Morton, physician; William M. Stew
are, former United States Senator.

made of velvet are pretty sure to
play an important part in the fash
ions of the Autumn and Summer.
And If anything rivals the little felt
Tat that has been such a favorite
with well-dressed women it will be
the little hat of velvet, which is as
easily worn and as plant as the soft
felt hat. But there will be larger,
more formal velvet hats.
The French modistes seemingly
began by using velvet in combina-
ton with something else. First the
large straw shapes were faced with
velvet or trimmed with velvet bows
or choux. Molyneux has been show
ing charming hats faced or trimmed
with velvet with all his little frocks
recently. Georgette shows velvet
trimmed hats and Marthe Regnier
has a charming collection of velvet
hats in various pastel shades. A type
of hat that has already gained favor
with q number of well-dressed women
consists of crushable. pull-on little
shape of black velvet trimmed with
pink gardenias.
Velvet scarfs have been spoken of
as fashion that will gain smart ap-
proval with the coming of Autumn,
and Jean Blanchot of Paris has an.
ticipated this demand by making
charming velvet hats with scarfs to
match. The sketch shows a capeline
shape in pansy purple-a decidedly

Grandmother's Cameo.

The present and widespread revival
of old-fa shioned jewelry has again
brought grandmother cameo into the
limelight If you have such an heir
loom in your family treasure box, you
cannot do better than bring II out,
have it cleaned and give it the place
Of honor.
There are many different kinds of
canoes. 1t is not generally known
that they may be cut from any and all
precious and semi-precious stones, such
as emerald, amethyst, turquois. agates,
ONYX, carbuncles and many others, be-
sides amber, mother of-pearl, coral.
ivory and precious metals as well. one
definition of a cameo is a carving in
relief on some hard substance of in
trinsic beauty and value.
The things which give value TO
cameo, next to the material out OF
which it is cut, is the height or the
| relief. the elaborateness of the detail,
the delicacy and perfection of the
carving and the shades, tints and col
ors which serve to bring out the
beauty Of the design. There are
canoes cut from materials which do
not have variations of color, but the
most beautiful ones are those on a
material having layers of different
colors which show through the figure
| in certain places.
For instance, onyx and agate, from
which the ma jority of canoes are cut,
have their colors, not in layers but
| in little bends and curves which are
| thick In some places and thin in
others Then, when an artist cuts a
cameo from these he considers this
variation in design and makes it con-
tribute to the beauty of his handi-
| work. All the work must be done by
hand. the stones being cut with a dia-
mond drill and faceted with a grinding
wheel, after which they are polished
with diamond dust or emery.

Self.Sacrifice in Vain.

NICE-I should love to answer your
letter personally, but you neglected
to inclose a stamped, addressed en-
velope, and have no means of know
ing your address. Will you please
forward 1t to me at once, SO may
give you your answer.
"Selfishness' writes rather un-
usual letter, considering that it comes
from one of these modern young
women who are supposed to be en-
tirely concerned with getting what
they can from life and letting the
other fellow shift for himself.
Dear Mimi" she writes, will you
advise me how to act In the rather
difficult situation in which I find my
self? One of my very best friends has
been going with boy for some years.
and has always been simply devoted
to him. Recently they quarreled
about something or other and she
feels so badly about it, it is quite pitt
full. Now, however, for the past six
months, he has been coming to see
me, and we are madly in love with
each other, and wish to marry as soon
as possible. Only l feel that it must
not be, because / should be simply
breaking my girl friends heart if
We're to do this cruel thing to her. Is
it best for me to give him up. and not
ness at my friends expense?"
Selfshness, whose letter, by the
way, bellies her name. is suffering
from the age-old delusion that by suf-
fering yourself, you can lessen the
pain Of somebody else.
Your girl fried will not benefit by
your giving up this man you love.
He is lost to her already-that's 8
obvious.
I,or 20 t,o t,o, hoo,, ro{,r~ ,,,;th lox,
for such a long time, and has at last
found it necessary to break off. he
must know what he's about better
than you do.
What makes you think that, if you
turn him down, he will return to her?
The chances are all against it. He is
much more likely to find somebody
new to comfort him-and then you'll
be out of luck both ways.
Your friend will have nothing to
thank you for. and you will have lost
sweetheart.
Besides that, you're so busy think
ing about the terrible pain you must
infiict on his former sweetheart, that
you aren't giving much thought to the
disappointment and humiliation you
will cause this man you love so much.
Why are you ready to hurt him, and
so unwilling to hurt her?
Aren you fatner oVerSenSltlVe on
this question of duty? I believe you
feel that giving him up is your duty.
simply because that action will cause
you so much pain.
You can't make up his mind for
him, you know. And If he has chosen
you of his own free will, you're not
responsible for the other girls unhap-
| piness.
You'd better let Fate work il out,
and not try to arrange things your
! self AS long as you didn't do this
thing deliberately, your conscience is
clear.
Don't be too unselfish, Selfishness.

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND Ill. ALLEN.

Imitation canoes may be made
either of glass or of pottery, and these
inexpensive canoes may be cut and
polished or simply nodded. Some OF
the nodded pottery cameoware, with
its white figures against their pale
buff, blue or violet background. look
so like the genuine canoes that one
can scarcely tell the difference Cameo
glass Is of a particular variety, and
consists of layers of different colors
one out of which the figure is cut and
the other which serves as a back
ground.
Many of the canoes now on the
market are what is known as shell
cameos," and are cut from the inner
surface of the shell of the pearl oyster
abalone or other sea shells with lovely
Innings. The work on these is also
done by hand. but they are naturally
much less expensive than those done
on stone. You can tell them by the
fact that they are much softer in col
oring, and some of them are mex
pressibly beautiful with the radiant
flesh tints showing through the thin
film of shell. Brown and white or pink
and white are the colorings in which
they are most usually found. The
cameo conch" is a large variety of
marine shell especially adaptable for
this purpose.
The figure of cameo does not have
to be a human head, though that is
the subject with which we are most
familiar. But it may be an animal
landscape, bit of architecture-in fact,
anything. The earliest known form of
canoes is that of the sacred beetle of
Egypt. Most of our canoes come
from Italy today, but they are turned
out for commerce, and none of them
approach the beauty and value of the
specimens devised by the great artists
of olden times, and which are to be
viewed among the most priceless arr
treasures of our museums today.
