It viii not be q plain unbroken sur

from Reboux has been very success
full and is likely to carry on for sew
eral months. This hat Is built Of
sangha In oatmeal-one OF the latest
shades-and Is trimmed with a band
and two ornamental ends Of brown
grosgrain ribbon. The crown, high
at the back and sloping toward the
front, is gathered into a cluster Of lit
tie folds at one side; and the brim,
though narrow, Is drawn low, shad-

across the back.
Three clearly defined novelties are
illustrated In this model-the shape,
the use Of grosgrain ribbon, and the
combination Of brown with tan, beige,

Rich Quartz Crystals
Found in California

Transparent rock crystals are high
ly valued, and Riverside county, Cali
fornia, gives us some very fine ones,
usually from its gem mines. Formerly
the worlds demand for these pure
crystals was supplied mainly from
Brazil and Madagascar, until large
and fine supply of them was discov-
cred in the Golden state. In the old
Green Mountain mine, in Calaveras
county, amidst the gold-bearing gravel
of its ancient lava-capped river bed,
were found In 1897 huge lot Of enor-
nous quartz crystals, II tons of which
were sold in one year alone. One IT,
tanic crystal found here was surround
ed with AZ smaller crystals and
weighed over a ton. Some weighed 80
pounds each, and one was 10 by Is by
IA inches. Most Of the larger ones
were sent to New York and there cut
by special machinery. One Of them,
cut into a perfect sphere, without a
flaw In it, is valued at $1,000. An
other is in the Morgan collection in
that city. Those from Ell Dorado coun-
ty are sometimes priced more highly
because they have 'phantoms" in
them-various enclosed minerals, often

Ver0city of Witness
Put to Severe Test

The courts in countries of the Far
East would not dream Of accepting the
evidence that satisfies us, yet con-
denim men to death for reasons that
we should consider trifing, according
to Rosita Forbes, who tells how the
mysterious East solves its crime prob
lem, in an article in Liberty. In Arabia,
for instance, Miss Forbes says: I'm
any important case, the testimony OF
two eye-witnesses is necessary and
these may be tested In a most unpleas-
ant manner. The local imam, or some
holy man connected with the mosque,
heats a long strip Of metal in a bra
zier When the end Is white-hot, it Is
laid on the tongue of the witness. II
1t burns him, he is liar. If it has no
effect, he is speaking the truth.
81 have seen this test justify it's ex-
istence," writes Miss Forbes, for the
metal rests on the tongue for only the
fraction Of a second. The truthful
man is not afraid and the saliva in his
mouth saves him from a burn. The
false witness is terrified and his
mouth goes so dry that the first touch
scalds his tongue!"

Drop Cloche From
Paris Hat Styles
Small Model Still in Vogue;
Large Chapeau Shown
for Summer Wear.

The that consciousness" idea being
broadcast contradicts all our tradi-
lions, which have so long been d.
rected to the end Of forgetting clothes
and Of being either sincerely or at
least politely unconscious Of our dress,
including our bonnet, says a fashion
writer in the New York Times. Now
we are counseled to become keenly
alive and observant, especially Of mil
linery, and to evolve from our inner
consciousness an appreciation Of our
type and artistic possibilities. Ameri-
can women are moving constantly
further away from the old-time con-
ventions and they are following less
the fashions as such, whatever they
happen to be, In order to express
themselves in terms of their own indi-
viduality.
Sometimes there seem to be long
periods of monotony in which nothing
but the commonplace is reflected in
gowns and hats. 1t seems q stupid in
consistency when the form these
quality of art or grace. When ennui
does finally pass, there is compensa-
ton for both the milliner who designs
and the woman who wears the freshly
inspired creations. This season there
is much of art significance and definite
style in the millinery, more beauty
and achievement in color. Artists say
that understanding Of color In dress
is just making itself felt, and Ger
tainly it is Illuminating the whole
world Of fashion in woman's dress.
Little Hat a Favorite.
A little hat shaped like an inverted
saucepan has been for a surprising
length OF time the center Of the fash
ion picture. Plain, unfattering, to
many exceedingly uncomfortable, with
not one line of grace or other distinc-
ton than its name, the "cloche" has
become and has tenaciously remained
in style. Numbers, cheapness and all
that goes to make common and kill
mode has had slight effect upon this
hat species. Season after season it
has been beloved alike of the woman
who is exclusive and Of her who must
be economical.
At the beginning of this spring mil
linery exhibitions from Paris and at
home showed many of the familiar
cloche shapes. The first were in felt,
In beaver, In stitched satin, silk or
cloth, and later in straw, or straw
combined with silk. With q slightly
varied brim treatment, a bit more
elasticity in trimming, the cloche, by
that or some other name, still has its
friends in this part of the world.
Gradually the tight, round" shape
has been succeeded, however, by the
Gigolo and other variants of foreign
authorship. some Of them historically

Troll of Small Change

A Westerner recently spent a week
In a New York hotel. He tipped the
boy who carried In his grips; then
tipped the elevator man, then the wa
ter boy, then the chambermaid, then
the head waiter for getting him a
table, then the waiter who took his
order. He paid the hat girl a dime for
his hat three times a day after meals |;
he tipped the bell boy who brought
him a paper, the barber who shaved
him, the shine artist who gave lick
and a promise to his shoes, the boy
who helped him put on his coat and
handed him his hat, and the doorman
who called a taxi for him. He wound
up by tipping the scales and found
he had lost five pounds.-Capper's

Mode White Horse Idol
10 Plocote Sp0ni0rd

fernando Cortez, In the year 1925,
entered Peten, the northernmost de-
partment Of Guatemala, on his way
from Mexico to Honduras, Eugene
Cunningham relates, in Adventure
Magazine. He is credited with being
the first white man to penetrate those
dense jungles and reach Lake Peten-
liza, which in the Magyar tongue was
"Haltunna," or Lake With Houses"
and look upon the busy island city Of
the Itzae, an offshoot of the advanced
Mayas who then peopled Yucatan and
Guatemala.
The canek, or lord OF the Itzae, re
ceived the Spaniard with courtesy. He
embraced Christianity and pledged al
legiance to the Spanish king. Cortez
remained for a time at Haltunna, let
ting his force recover from the hard
journey, and when he went on to Hon.
duras he left behind a lame white
horse. This animal has furnished the
flexible imaginations of Spanish his
torians with one of their most pictur-
esque myths Of mysterious Peten."
For the Indians, so the story runs,
having never before seen a horse and,
understanding only that it was sick,
fed it as they would have fed a hu-
man invalid of more than ordinary i'm
portance. The poor brute did not long
survive a diet Of cooked meat, fish and
birds.
Upon its death the poor Itzae, who
had worshiped it as something rather
more than mortal, were fearful of Cor
tez' wrath. So they thought to be-
fool the conQuistadore. They carved
from white stone replica and set 1t
up in their chief temple against Cor
tez' return.
Even today, say some inhabitants
Of Flores-the modern town on the
site Of Ancient Haltunna-the image
may be seen at certain times in the
waters Of Lake Peten-Itza, near the
uninhabited island of Santa Barbara,
where it sank when the raft trans
porting it was wrecked. This image,
reported by two Franciscans as in the
temple in 1913, is often termed the
Sacred White Horse Of Peten" and
the Sacred Horse Of Guatemala"

SPITE BLAST DESTROYS NEW
$4,000 FLA. NEGRO SCHOOL
Eight Worknen Hurt, Bombing Fol-
lows the Threats Against Construct
ing Building Adjacent to the White
Neighborhood


Miami, Fla.-Eight workmen were
injured, two perhaps fatally, when the
100000 three-story George Washing
ton School building for coIored under
construction at N. w. Fifth avenue
and Twelfth street was dynamited and
collapsed. The bombing is thought to
have been the sequel to numerous
threats by whites against the construc-
ton of the school, which lies adjacent
to the white residential section.
Blast Wrecks Building
The explosion occurred about 1915
a. m. The injured workmen were
pouring concrete into the forms on the
third floor. The steel and concrete
skeleton Of the building gave way and
crashed to the earth carrying them
with it. They were taken from the
twisted wreckage and rushed to the
Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The seriously injured men were Joe
Davis and John Jackson, colored.
Four Of the other men hurt were col
ored. They were Lester Rumph, Ma
thaniel Delaney, Percy Grant and
Stepheny Buchanan.
Tells of Threats
Ray L. Hamon, white building direc-
tor, stated that a petition against the
construction of the school, signed by
many of the white residents in an adj
joining neighborhood, had been for
warded to the constructors. "A tele-
phone message warning that the building
would be dynamited had been re-
ceived at the headquarters of the con-
struction company during the first
week Of work on the structure.
No Arrests Made
The building is being built in cen
ter which is the boundary line of col
ored district and the white district.
No clue was found that might lead
to the arrest Of the perpetrators Of
the crime.

The best light comes from the up

rather than below. This fact makes
1t possible for an architect to plan
his window spaces six or eight inches
higher than usual, about two and a
half feet from the floor. This extra
space in turn gives the housewife an
opportunity to make use Of the space
beneath the window for bookcases

Friendship

Perfect friendship is that Of good
men who resemble each other in vir-
tue; for these, as good themselves, are
equal in their desire Of good things
for one another, and they who desire
good things for their friends, love
them especially for the sake of these
things. For they value them for what
they are and not for something acct
dentaL The friendship, therefore, Of
these men endures as long as they are
good, for virtue is something stable.
And each of them is good in himself
and also in relation to his friend, for
good men are both good absolutely
and useful to each other.-AristotIe
