THE WORK OF stuccoing the out

With fair and favorable weather,
this work should be complsted with
in less than three weeks. After
which the true outside appearance
Of Hotel Ell Jardin will be apparent
to all observers.
BY the way, there has been some
pretty fast work on Hotel FL Jardin,
once the difficult foundation was
completed. In something like six and
a half months the building was COM
pleted, eight stories high and up to
the outside plastering, or stucco
work.
The inside is ready, except as to the
papering. Did you know that's a
new wrinkle in hotel building? Yes,
they're putting paper on the walls
OF the rooms nowadays. Instead of
painting the plaster, they paper.
Gives an opportunity to change the
appearance of the rooms with more

WHY GO TO Africa to hunt lions :?
Soldiers at Fort Brown, bent on
trying out some dogs. went up on
the Arroyo Colorado the other night

Sergeant Johnson, one OF the in

lions thighs we're as big as a mans
Of ordinary size.
The weight of the animal bears
out the statement.
And the work Of bringing down the
animal, after he had sought refuge
IN a tree, was completed with a 49,

Railroad People
Would Abolish
the Labor Board
President Coolidge Approves
And Congress Is Likely
to Quickly Assent

Washington, ID. C.-The va
rious railroad organizations of
transportation and shop men
and railroad managers have
written a new page in indus
trial history by agreeing to sup
port legislation that will abolish
the railroad labor board and
pave the way for a settlement Of
disputes.
President Coolidge has approved
the plan, and it is believed that con-
gress will quickly assent to this peace
effort Of the carriers and employees.
Boards of adjustment, composed of
representatives Of managers and en-
ployes, will be created to handle dis
putes. If successful, the dispute will
then be passed on to a permanent
board of mediation. This board will
consist Of citizens not connected with
the industry. If neither Of these plans
succeed, voluntary arbitration will be
resOrted to.
No working condition can be chang
ed by the carrier while negotiations
are on. If board of mediation in
forms the president that a dispute
threatens interstate commerce, the
president may apopint board of dis
interested citizens to investigate and
report within 80 days In that event,
and for 80 days thereafter, neither
party can make anv change in con-
Ciuons.
Under the proposed law both parties
may choose Representatives without
interference, influence or coercion" "
This will permit the shop men to Sc
lect their representatives and end the
practice of certain carriers that insist
they name representatives of the
workers through company unions"

Purple Retains Favor;
Combinations Attractive

In spite of the fact that the paM
summer witnessed a vogue Of purple
almost unprecedented in the history
of that particular color from a fashion
point of view, it still occupies a place
uf considerable Importance in the
modes
Paris, it is said, regards With
favor shade deeper and richer than
the color which was so popular in
America in the season just past and in
addition to a deep purple with blue
rather than reddish cast has
launched a new mulberry tone called
Black Prince, so dark that at a dis
tance it appears to be black.
For afternoon costumes and for eve
ming frOcks the lighter shades are
chosen and frequently two or three
shades of the same color are combined
In the most subtle fashion.
The majority of evening gowns are
carried out in chiffon with embroideries
IN which pearls, beads and brilliants
are interspersed Embroidered bands
fastened to the shoulders and waist
frequently are seen. In other models
insertions Of chiffon in different colOrs
add to the individuality
