AUGUSTA, Me-, June 17.-Mr. and
Mrs. Kenneth F. Lee of this city are
planning to spend year in the Maine
wilderness, camping in the heart Of
the woods. Both are outdoor enthu-
siasts and are skilled with the rifle.
Their wilderness vacation" as they
call 1t, is to be spent near Umsaskia
Lake on the Allagash River, almost in
the center of the big woods of West
ern Aroostook and Northern Somerset
and Piscataquis counties. The near
est Maine town is st. Francis. 40
miles distant, where the Allagash
flows into the st. John, but several
Canadian towns are nearer.
Mrs. Lee hopes to fly to her wilder
ness abode with Air Pilot George W.
Maxim, of the newly inaugurated air.

Mr.. Lee, who has been connected

The Commerce Building, which is to

entire area between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth, E and b streets. c and

east and west connecting links be-

Senator Smoot said the new plan

avenue between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth streets, is not yet assigned to
some other structure, nor Is the area
that will be left open around the
new Archives site allocated at this
time. The theory Of the triangle
plan, however, is to take care of
future expansion Of the Government.
and these sites will be utilized later.
Senator Smoot was enthusiastic over
the approval Of this layout and said
that while it might be modified in
some minor respects as time goes
on, 1t will stand in it's essential fea-
lures as the permanent layout for
the triangle.
Senator Smoot said the new lay
out has the approval of the group
of prominent architects who were
called to Washington to give the
buildings commission the benefit of
their Judgment.

In accuracy and delicacy Of throw.
women have the best Of it, although
men can cast for greater distances. He
says that at the Wisconsin lakes,
where he spends many months of each
year, woman anglers are increasing
and that they become adept at casting

Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine

slant consultation with the public
building authorities, also said today
that it is not a duplication of the

some Of the principles of that develop

courts in the center of the triangle,

smaller and less beautiful open spaces
scattered through the area.
Virtually all streets passing through
the triangle will have archways over
them to link buildings together.

from Thirteenth to Fourteenth streets
and will be approximately in line with
the circle.
Office Space Enlarged.
Between the circle and the square
the interior Of the triangle will be
further adorned with smaller semi
circular open spaces. While making
possible this attractive arrangement
OF open space in the center OF the tri
angle, Senator Smoot pointed out that
the new plan also provides for more
square feet of office space for carry

than the original plan.
Relocation OF the Justice Depart

the square between Fourteenth and

Black Not Always an
Emblem of Mourning

The Widows mourning cap dates
back to the days OF ancient Egypt.
Egyptian men shaved the beard and
the head as a token of mourning The
women, Instead of cutting OF the hair,
concealed 1t with close cap The
Romans, who were as u race clean
shaven, shaved the head IN mourning
and wore wig
The black band on the sleeve, ns a
sign OF mourning, comes from the dny4
Of chivalry. The lady tied scarf or
napkin, AS tho handkerchief W
called about the arm of her knight.
IL he was killed In battle she wnY,
the band in memory of him.
Black has so long been the co!lr ~
grief in Anglo-SaX0n countries tha;
it seems a part of the upsldc-down civ.
lllzatlon OF the East that japan ana
China wear white But no longer ago
than the time Of Elizabeth the III or.
tunate Mary of Scotland wore white
"a the death Of Darnley. Even new
the henrse used for children is white,
and in England the mOurners AZ fun
erals of young unmarried persons wear
hatbands and sashes of white.
A queer English custom is that of
decorating the black hearse horses
with long black tails.

Ingenious Scheme to
End Visits From Bore

A laughable story is ascrlbed to the
artist and wit, Oliver Herford, by his
associate, Edward Simmons the paint
er, as recalled by writer In the Kan
sas City Star. one day while Sim
mons was enjoying an agreeable call
at Herford's studio their conversa-
ton was Interrupted by peculiar
knocking at the door-three loud per-
emptory knocks at intervals of sec
ond or two and then two more In
quick succession.
HEREFORD at once put his finger on
his lip and motIoned to his caller to
be perfectly quiet Neither man
spoke or stirred while the curious
knock was repeated. Then they heard
the retreating footsteps of the knocker
passing down the hall
Then Herford relaxed his attitude Of
silent tension and smiled.
"That was Blank" he said, "a thor
oughly good and well-meaning fellow,
but a most frlghtful bore. I've stood
all the calls from him I could SO 1
told him that | have given special
knocks to all my intimate friends, in
order that / might know when they
called and let them in at times when
I should be unwilling to be disturbed
by less congenlal callers. Blank was
saying only the other night that
must have been out a good deal lately.
He hasn't got In to see me since |
assigned him his knockw

Flute-Player NeUer
Popular in Society

Flute-playing seems to have gone
entirely out of fashion. Can this be
due to the denunciation which this
most ancient of musical Instruments
has received from the pens of eminent
writer's?
Violinists and planists may figure
In fiction as heroes and heroines, but
performers upon the flute are gener-
ally introduced into novels only us
comic or unpleasant characters.
At least three comic characters of
Dickens were lute-players; Dick Swl'
weller, who took to it as good
sound, dismal occupation and was
consequently requested to remove
himself to another lodging; Mr. Nell,
the schoolmaster, who made the

Mrs. Todgers musical party, who
blew his melancholy into the flute
Bulwer Lytton wrote of a clever
schoolboy who "unlucklly took to the
flute and untitled himself for the pres
ent century," and Charlotte Bronte
represents "lnept curates" as perform
ing upon 1t.
And then there was Goethe, who
summed up the case against the flute
by saying: "There is scarcely more
melancholy suffering to be undergone
than what is forced on us by the
.neighborhood of an inclpient player
on the flute"

British Captain Kind
to CoDfiUe Americans

Running the blockade between Bal
timOre and the Maryland eastern
shore was an exciting undertaking
while the British fleet was In the bay
in the War OF 1912. On one occasion
the packet Messenger, bound for Bal
timore, tried to get through and was
challenged by the man Of war Dragon,
mounting IA guns. On board the Mes
senger were numerous women and
children, but the British officers as
sured them they need feel no alarm,
and to prove 1t invited them to ban
quet on board the Dragon. Captain
Barrie Of the Dragon was particularly
kind TO Mrs Edith Dawson and her
two children. Noting that one Of the
little girls was eating with a pewter
spoon, the captain ordered silver
spoon taken from his own locker and
presented to the child as souvenir
Of the occasion. This spoon Is now
an heirloom In that chlld's family
