HORN-RnINIED GLASSES

At first people said they looked
funny-then people who wore them
were accused Of doing it "for style"
This all refers to horn-rimmed glass
es, which have been triumphant as
they have won out against all COM
petitors, including gold and metal
rims. The old-fashioned spectacles
that were hung up back of the ears
and left their rings in every spot
they touched have been gradually
going into the background. Even in
public health, circles there have been
many debates about the respective
merits of frames for glasses, and
the horn-rim now wins every round.
Spectacle frames have appeared
that are made of new demi-blodne
shell pyralin. This new shade in
which golden amber is combined
with rich brown shell to give mot
tied effect was developed to meet
the growing demand for various col
ors in spectacle rims. The material
is lightweight, pliable and non
breakable. 1t can also be obtained
in dark shell, amber and two-tone
shell on amber. Oculists and opt-
clans have been converted to the
horn-rims, and so have good looking
women who want to look still good
err. Practical men who want to take
an extra degree Of dignity and
attractiveness have adopted the horn
rims. In short the horn-rimmed
glasses have vanquished all their
traducers, and semi-oficial figures
show that they are being used more
generally by all classes Of people.

New York. - Is the modern wo-
man a business radical? Does she
owe her success in finance, COM
nerce, law, medicine and other pro-
fessions to a disregard of business
principles?
Miss Anne Morgan, famous So
.iety and philanthropic leader thinks
she does, while Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt stoutly AYERS that woman
has gained eminence in these fields
IF activity by playing the game ac-
cording to its rules.
Miss Morgan takes the stand that
modern woman is a success in busi-
ness because she is more radical
than man and refuses to believe that
a thing "can't be done" because sit
hasn't been done before" In a re-
cent talk Miss Morgan asserted that
woman's very "newness and mex
Derience," and her disregard for
established rules and precedents are
her most effective weapons for WIN
ming business battles.
Colonel Roosevelt, always an ar
dent champion of wonlan's rights,
agrees with Miss Morgan that wo-
nan is a success in business, but his
conclusion is based upon different
explanation.
Speaking recently, in New York,
Col. Roosevelt declared:

Now is the best time of the year
to track the pesky fly to his lair, and
slay, manhandle and demolish him,
and thereby do ones bit toward as
near a fiyless summer as possible.
"Swatting the fly is rather a timid
manner of handling the problem" F"
remarked DR.. Armstrong. "It is fine
as far as it goes, but the best way,
of course, is to attack the fly in its
breeding places by the simple eX-
pedient of doing away with breeding
places. One of the largest steps that
Wilmington ever took toward COM
batting the fly nuisance was the
wrapping of garbage. That destroy
ed one of his favorite habitats.
"If the fly is to be swatted, the
best time is now. and one fly suffer-
ed to live now will produce innumer-
able progeny. Ones premises should
be kept clear of flies, for flies are
Enthusiastically disease carriers.
"a suggestion I would make is for
the boys and girls who are con-
structing the bird boxes and other
projects, to build some fly traps,
such as were used in the army
camps during the war"
There should be no let-up, ana
that each householder should see to
it that all flies are destroyed, and es-
pecially, that breeding places ana
piles of decaying vegetables and the
like be banned in and about their
nremises.

Modern WOn1Gn a Radical IN Business
Says Anne Morgan No" Says Roosevelt

our century than the increasingly
important part women are playing
in the economic life of the country"
This is due, Col. Roosevelt be-
lieves, to the fact that woman has
played the rules of the game. Asked
if he agreed with Miss Morgan that
women are more radical than men,,
Col Roosevelt said:
"The success of women in thei
business world, in my opinion, is not
to be attributed to their 'radicalism1
as against the conservatism Of
men; but rather to the fact that they
do not break the rules. Women
have been described as emotional,
temperamental, and tender-hearted.I
This does not necessarily imply that
they are more radical than men. We
hear much of feminine logic which,
is popularity supposed to be the
antipode of real logic. However,
this feminine logic is solving many
of the business and economic prob
lens of the day, not along radical
lines, but in a most sane, helpful and
constructive manner.
"There are hundreds of examples
to illustrate the important relation
of women to the business life of the
day. We find women selling bonds
and running bond departments, wo-
men executives in the largest busi-
ness and industrial concerns in the
country, women brokers, lawyers,
doctors, editors, sales executives
women running businesses of every
kind and description.
"Not only are they doing the prac-
tical end of the work, but often
they are contributing an inventive
genius towards it which tends to
simplify business methods. A strik-
ing example of this is Miss Emma
3. Dearborn's work in the develop
ment of Speedwriting, system of
rapid shorthand which has discarded
the symbols of the conventional sys-
TENS of shorthand, and uses only the
letters of the alphabet.
"Here again is an excellent ex-
ample of feminine logic 1t took a
woman to see that the only system
of shorthand needed for the vast
business correspondence of the ma
ton is contained right in the letters
of the alphabet. /
eff this ability to apply shortcuts
to business methods and procedurGt
that men have not had the vision to-
see can be styled as "radicalismy
then 1 agree that the business wo-
man is radical"

JUST PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

Ham for baking may be boiled a
day or two beforehand, left standing
in a cold place in the liquor in
which it was cooked, reheated in
this, then skinned, covered with
bread crumbs and sugar, stuck with
cloves and put in the oven for final
browning just before dinner.
Low or medium producing cows
should be dry month or six weeks.
High producers need a longer dry
period.
Eggs from hens that have been
forced for eggs as rule don't hatch
SO well as eggs from hens that
haven't been forced.

One million dollars worth of blue
berries are canned in Maine In some
seasons. In one county of that
state the blueberry crop is the
chief source of income of many of
tho people.
Because of the large number of
shippers which may be produced by
a single piece Of meat, it is advis-
able to destroy promptly all infest-
ed meat which can not be recondi-
toned by trimming.

To prevent silage flavor in milk,
feed the silage Immediately after
milking. Some farmers feed it dur
ing or before milking and as a
result find their milk favored with
the feed. Although milk will abb
sorb some silage taint from the air,
the greatest amount comes through
the body Of the cow.
Soybeans and Sudan grass are ex-
cellent crops for growing in mix
ture. Not only better yield, but a
better balanced forage is obtained,
as the Sudan grass is low and the
soybean high in protein. The mixed
hay is easily harvested and cured.
1t is cut for hay about the time the
soybean seeds are half grown. The
best results are obtained by broad
casting, using about so pounds of
seed, either the Wilson or Virginia
variety of soybeans, and 10 pounds
OF Sudan grass seed to the acre.

THE MODERN DIESEL

The Shipping Board has called at
tention to the wonderful results 1t
has obtained with the Diesel engine.
The public has not paid much at
tention to the new invention which
has come along in logical success
sion to sail boats, side-wheelers and
ordinary varieties of steam engines.
AThe Diesel engine is something ike
an automobile engine, instead OF a
clumsy old steam churner OF carrier
mechanical construction. The D1esel
engine differs from the automobile
engine inasmuch as the explosion
does not come from spark pIugs'
but from heat which produces an
explosion by intense compression OF
air in the firing chamber OF eacn
cylinder. The fuel is introduced on
the up-stroke of the piston by air
pressure ranging from 80 pounds
per square inch to 300 pounds per
square inch. It is Immediately ex-
ploded and the piston, forced down.
opens a valve which admits 1resn
air to clear the chamber with the
next charge of fuel and air. The
Diesel engine as a rule uses crude
oil. which is automatically sprayed
into the cylinder under high pres
sure. The outstanding feature OF
the Diesel engine is its very high
thermal efficiency. 1t requires only
about one-third of the amount OF
fuel required by the oil burning
steam engine, and in addition, 1t
has the power of giants.

Rats were first reported from
Denver, Colo, in 1886, and by 1907

rats were known in Utah prior to

recent years that the rat has visited

THE Chinese problem, as fashion sees it,
is the Chinese neck. Shall it be of the
same color as the frock and gaily stitched,
or shall it be plain band in a shade to
harmonic with the frock? Either treat
ment is effective for the neck and trim
ming bands of cuff and pocket in the style
above; while the raglan sleeves are smart
with or without their stitching. A
straight little frock it is, requiring only

The younger set, or the "young upsets,"

the surplice waist for its very own. For
many seasons gowns for older and larger
women had an unchallenged monopoly
on that style, but recently the young

of it Not in the long-waisted line of
slenderizing purpose employed in their
mothers gowns, but in a shortened,

the wearer already slender-waisted. Here

DISSOLVES ORDER
RESTRAINING MINERS
Judge Holds in Allegiance, How
ever, Application for Injunc-
ton Against Union.
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 25.--Dis
solving the restraining order granted
last week to the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
to prevent union miners from inter
fering with company employees at its
Adena mine, Federal Judge Benson W.
Hough yesterday held in allegiance the
application for injunction.
Judge Hough C-clared it his bellai
that John Cirque, president of sub
district No. 5, United Mine Workers
of America, and his associates have
tried to hold their men within the law
but asserted they have not gone as FAR
as they should. He said he would
leave the responsibility of maintaining
order rest with the union officials and
declared that with their cooperation
he was certain it could be done.
Judge Hough continued by saying
that while no serious offense had been
committed thus far, the forming OF
nickel line cannot be considered peace
full actions.
The restraining order was granted
last week when it was alleged union
miners insulted company employees on
their WY to work in the RobeyVllie
mine and offered violence against
them. The behavior in the future VIII
determine the courts action. he said.
The determining Of what constitutes
orderly conduct was left to counsel Tor
the miners, and Judge Hough told
them it could be found in rulings or
the Supreme Court OF the United
States on similar actions.

TRADE DELEGATES
CONFER ON BUDGET
Joint Committee Considers
recommendations to
Be Offered.

A special committee, including the
presidents of three trade bodies, au-
thorized last week by a general com
mittee of Is representatives from the
organizations, considered yesterday
afternoon the principles to be included
in a statement which will be ult1-
mately submitted to the District Com
| missioners embodying Recommended
tons relative to the District bulge
tary estimates for 192S-29.
The formal statement will be
drafted by a subcommittee, author
lied by the meeting yesterday, ana
will be presented for adoption at a
meeting of the committee of 10
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Without considering specific de-
tails of the recommendations which
will be brought to the attention of the
commissioners as representative of
the united attitude Of the Chamber
of Commerce, the Board of Trade
and the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association toward the Dis
trict's budget in 1929, the COM
mittee discussed in detail their axio-
matte principles.
Commission Commended.
Realizing that the recommendations
Of the three bodies concerning the
tax rate for the ensuing fiscal year,
fixed yesterday by the Commission
ers, were introduced at the eleventh
hour, the purpose of the committee
was emphasized to submit recommen-
dations well in advance of the con-
gressional appropriation for the Dis
trict for 192S-29.
A letter was authorized to be sent
to the Commissioners indicating
that the trade bodies feel that in
changing their tentative plan to set a
tax rate of $1.75 to making a rate or
$40. they manifested an attitude of
cooperative interest toward the
trade bodies even though they did not
arrive at a rate no higher than S1.65
as advocated by the joint committee.
The letter will convey the idea that
the committee feels that the Com
missioners exerted their efforts to
keep the tax rate down, even when,
due to the appropriation, they were
faced with a situation over which
they lacked entire control,
Plan Ladue Greeting.
Presidents of the three trade or
carnations plan to pay a friendly
call upon Col William B. Ladue, new
Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict, at his office Monday morning.
The visit will be entirely social and
will serve as a personal greeting from
the heads of the organizations to the
Commissioner.
The meeting yesterday was at
tended by Martin A. Leese, president
Of the Chamber of Commerce; Ivan
c. Weld, chairman of the committee
on District finance, taxation and as
sessments of the chamber; Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, president of the
