cow THAT STARTED A WAR

g HE was only skinny, foot-sore old
- COW. abandoned by party of emf
grants on the Oregon trail. But she
was found there by Miniconjou Sioux
Indian. He needed piece of hide to
patch his worn moccasins, so he saw
no good reason why he shouldn't kill
this forlorn beast to get it. When his
act was reported at Fort Laramie, that
COW suddenly became very valuable, so
her owner declared. The Indians Of,
fered TO pay him $40. He demanded
$50 and the Indians refused to give it.
Then Lieutenant Grattan, young, In
experienced and hot-headed, obtained
permission to go into the Miniconjou
camp and arrest the Indian who had
killed the COW. Taking SO men with
him, Grattan marched out to the Sioux
camps. In vain, two friendly chiefs,
Bear That Scatters, Brule, and Man
Afraid of His Horses, an Ogala, tried
to settle the matter peaceably. Grattan
remained obdurate.
Suddenly the soldiers opened fire
and within a few minutes Grattan and
all his men were dead-victims of
their commanders obstinacy.
Soon afterwards, Col w. S. Harvey
was sent with an army to punish"
the ''hostiles." Harvey surrounded the
camp of Brule chief, Little Thunder,
and demanded that the slayers Of Graf
tan he given up. Little Thunder could
rot comply with the demand for the
~ery good reason that his people had
Ind nothing to do with the tragedy.
50 Harley attacked and there fol-
lowed the so-called Battle of Ash Hol-
low, with it's shameful record Of Sc
friendly Indians slaughtered, among
them many women and children, FIVE
wounded and about 20 women and
children captured. Small wonder that
the Sioux learned to hate the white
men and to fight them bitterly for the
next 20 years. And an old WORKOUT

Bride-tO-be and you win fashions
smile of approval. The endearing
charms of each are breathtaking so
we warn you it's going to be diff
cult matter to decide.
There is no doubt about lace being
definitely in the limelight for bridal
gowns, in fact for the entire bridal
party. For that matter, enthusiasm
for lace whether as a medium for
bridal array or for all occasion rang
ing from simplest sports and daytime
clothes to high formals, knows no
bounds this season.
With the Importance of lace as their
cue and inspiration, designers are do
ing wedding ensembles for this years
midsummer brides that simply battle
description. The gown to the left in
the Illustration, than which magma
ton can picture no lovelier, is entirely
of imported Chantilly lace with won
drous lace-bordered train. 1t is cut
on princess lines with a high ruffled
neck and a tunic effect. The vOlum-
nous veil is draped over a coronet of
orange blossoms.
Not all brides are so favored by for
tune as to be married in such gorgeous
lace raiment. However that need not
at all discourage the bride-to-be who
is lace-minded, for instead of being
entirely of lace many of the most at
tractive wedding gowns designed this
season have lace worked in for Jokes,
and sleeves and perhaps insets and
numerous other intriguing ways.
AS to lace for the bridesmaids, It is
a story too long, too dramatic and ro-
mantle TO be briefly told. Picture a

hues of the rainbow or a summertime

wear, and lace gloves and as like as
not shoes of lace.
Chiffon for the wedding gown?
That's another of fashions most fas-
cinating stories which should be told
to brides who would wed in June or
later in midsummertime. The flair
for chiffon evening and party frocks
started in Paris and the vogue has be-
come so pronounced that the call of
midsummer night fashions for chiffon
resounds throughout the length and
breadth of all fashionland. Which is
merely the prologue to what we are
about to say in regard to the chic, the
charm and the Importance Of chiffon,
especially quality-kind all silk chiffon,
for not only the brides gown but for
littlest flower girl.
In the exquisitely lovely wedding
gown to the right in the picture, the
poet finds inspiration for a sonnet, the
painter for a picture and the bride the
realization of dreams come true. The
theme of this winsome bridal dress
which so obviously plays up simplicity
"a sophisticated simplicity, if you
pleased is white silk chiffon. Draped,
it is, in classic Grecian lines, for the
latest gesture in realms of formal fash
ion is the draping of diaphonous ma
terials after the art of ancient Greek
sculpturing. Now comes the touch
exquisite which climaxes the beauty
and sweet simplicity of this chiffon
rhapsody and will cause all who be-
hold to say of her 1.-The bride was
perfect picture"-she carries white
violets for her bouquet.

SHIRTWAIST FROCK
SLICK AND DASHING

There's a new and youthful shirt
waist frock that is arousing loud cheers
from the bleachers.
1t is a slick, slim affair in dotted
foulard, with small boy collar, short
sleeves, a belt and buttons all the way
down the front, and it is about the
most dashing and practical garment
thus far evolved.
1t comes in navy, black or brown,
with red, yellow or white dots, and is
a city version of the dotted linen frock
that was the toast of the Palm Beach
season.
Its only trimming is the stitched
youthful collar and the stitched cuffs
on its brief sleeves, and that perhaps
is part of its charm. With it you may
wear a bandana cap of the same ma
terial, very new and springlike, with
a Cossack look.

Stockings Are Bursting
Into Color in France

Here is news of another brand new
mode! Stockings have burst into
color in France. This is not nearly so
startling as it sounds. The colors are
soft, deep shades and will provide
fascinating shoe stocking combinations.
In addition, many of them are held
just under the knee by lastex band.
They are ribbed, English fashion, like
mems socks, liz isles and meshes,
made sturdy for hard wear, and mex
pensive.
After you get used to the idea, can't
you picture them with tweeds and
sports things? In the country, blue,
green and maroon stockings will stride
across the fields and over the links.
In town, smart legs will shop and tea
in navy blue.

"Blackguard"-or "back guard

these particular servants were of

There ID even less cause for one to

Wild cormorants are usually caught

swimming lessons once each day. AS
they are apt to bite people until they
are tanned their beaks are bound with
straw string
In time they are released in shallow
waters and, with the older birds to
teach them, begin their education. To
prevent them from escaping they are
tied with q cord attached to their
necks. It 10 painstaking task to get
the younger birds to initiate the older
ones, particularly In the matter of
bringing up their catch without harm

Of their education they are taught to

states with but little success. In col

southern section and New England,
but was allowed to languish and there
have been several attempts to revive
1t. The chief difficulties have been
the long hours and extreme patience
required to establish an industry that

Knot Equivalent to One
Nautical Mile an Hoy

The knot Is unit of speed eQuiva-
lent to one nautical mile an hour.
When ship travels ten nautical miles
an hour her speed is said to be ten
knots.
The knot Is survival Of the ear
Hest practical method of ascertaining
the speed of vessels, observes writer
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A
small weighted object which floated
In a stationary position was thrown
from the moving ship, attached to
long line which spun off reel. The
length of line which ran off in
stated period gave basis for the cal
culation of the ships speed.
The common log consisted Of three
parts-the reel, the line and the log
chip or log ship sometimes called
merely the log). The log chip was a
, thin piece of wood, or 6 inches
across, so weighted at one edge and
so attached to the line that it met
sufficient resistance from the water
to keep 1t practically stationary and
thus to unreel the line as the vessel
moved away from it.
The line, after about 80 feet of it had
followed the log chip, was divided in
to equal spaces called knots-because
they were marked by knots tied in it.
In American and British usage the
knots were Al feet inches apart
That distance bore the same proper
tion to nautical mile that % seconds
do to an hour. BY counting, then, the
number of knots that ran off the reel
In % seconds. you had the number of
miles the vessel Travelled in an hour.
The log glass, a small sandglass which
ran down in % seconds, was often used
to do the timing. The knot, as a unit
of speed, therefore, meant one nautical
mile-6.0S0.27 feet-an hour.
Although knot as unit of speed is
still used, the old method of meas
uring the speed of vessels has been
superseded almost entirely by auto.
