NATIVE DRESS OF
UKRAINIAN CHORUS
TO INTEREST WOMEN

Women of FL Centre will be par
ticularly interested in noting the
native dress worn by the women of
the Ukrainian chorus when it ap-
pears in the city on the night of
Jan. IL, as many of them will be
wearing beautifully embroidered
costumes decorated with their own
handicraft.
The women of this noted nation
al chorus embroider and keep on
embroidering. Almost every min
ute when they are not actually sing
ing in concerts or sleeping even
during rehesrsals and on their long
train rides, they embroider. The
style Of her embroidery shows
whether a Ukrainian girl has simple
or lavish tastes, and the color
which predominates in her work
designates from which part Of
Tkrainia she comes.
The native dress in which these
singers appear in their concerts is
/. riot of brilliant scarlet, blue,
orange, green and yellow shades.
The men are also equally gorgeous
in their kaftans of blue, green or
brown and white wool Cossack coats
adorned with orange frogs and
bindings.
All this makes the Ukrainian
chorus almost as vivid in its appeal
to the eye as to the ear, and pro-
vides the proper "atmosphere' for
the singing of picturesque native
songs, which will form portion of
the program.

by United Press Leased Wire

DEN YER, Colo, Dec. 30.-Thc
pioneer bores0 of the Moffat tun-
mel project, hurrowing in under the
Continental Divide, from opposite
sides of James Peak. are now only
l,69S feet apart. The two bores

part of February, according to the
latest report of the tunnel engin
GERS.
The pioneer bore, which will be
slightly more than six miles long
when completed, is parallel to the
main railroad tunnel and is 70 feet
to one side of it.
From the East Portal, the pioneer
bore has been driven l7.45s feet,
and 1927 feet from the West Por
tai. The other tunnel has been
bored 1861 feet from the east ana
l.. 2.lS0 from the west. The railroad
tunnel will not 20 through until
several vyceks after the pioneer
bore.
Engineers said that favorable
rock conditions would enable tho
date of the first wholing through y

January.
When the miners burrowing from
opposite sides of the mountain, fin
ally meet, the borcs will exactly
coincide, according to officials of
the project. Delicate calculations,
involving consideration of the var
iation of temperature and the glare
of the sunlight have been necessary
to assure precision in surveying.

Reporter Works
AS Beggar And
Makes Big Salary
By LEON L. KAY
Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 30.-A beg
gar on the streets of this capital
can make $1.25 in an hour. An un-
skilled laborer draws about 81 for
eight hours Of work. The working
classes contribute eighty percent of
the money that beggars collect, ana
domestic servants give more than
all the rest put together. Young girls
are more charitable than older wo-
men, and widows more than women
whose husbands still live. Among
all classes, women contribute most
to the beggar s hoarde, giving more
and more frequently than men.
Among men, cart drivers are more
liberal than chauffeurs, and clerks
more free handed than their en-
plevers.
This cross section of the privy
purse of Buenos Aires was drawn by
a reporter FOR a local newspaper
who. disguised himself as a down
andouter, and thea spent lucra-
tive day begging in all sections of
the business and shipping districts.
Strictly speaking, panhandling III
Buenos Aires is prohibited by or
dinanee, but enforcement is appar
entity resorted to only when beggars
get obstreperous.
Alms!" they dronc. Aims,
por el amor de Dios,
Public Market Good Place
The enterprising reporter, rigged
out as a deerepit old man, sailed
forth and picked mp the equivalent
of two dimes before he hId walked
a block. He did best at the public
markets where servant girls were
buying poultry and vegetables. Few
repulsed him. Cart drivers tossed
him nickel coins. IIobbling to the
fashionable shopping district, he
found that widows in black seldom
passed him by. Also, one seuorita
turned and caught up with him
while nor neatly gloved hanl
sought small change in her purse.
Finding none, she gave him a peso.
Such men as did give him some
thing did so with obvious cmbarrass-
mcnt, while women were unmindful
of passing crowds. lie piled the
beggar $ trade unmolested in the
busy doorway of big bank, but
was driven from the deserted por-
tails of a church by uniformed por-
fer who suddenly and mystcriously
appeared.
During the five hours he played
the beggar, he made $6.25, which
four times as much az he made
working fifteen hours as a reporter
for his newspaper, which, he re
marked to his friends, as he chang
ed back to necktie and spats,
would soon be looking for a man
to replace him. But as the news,
paper, for the supposed benefit of
an allegcdly shirkihg police. used
up some two pages with text and
photographs exposing the methods
of bcggars, our reporter may have
some misgivings as to his reception
among the gentlemen Of the extend
ed palm.
