NOW THE CHAMELEON GOWN

Scientist Promises, Among Other Things, Matter of Some Moment to Women Readers. Chameleon gowns for women, chang lng colo« wiih the intensity of the light, are predicted by Dr. Giacomo Ciamician of Bologna, addressing the eighth international congress of applied chemistry, recently in session at the College of the City of New York. "Photographic substances,” said Doctor Ciamician, “which often assume very intense colors in the light and return in the darkness to their primitive colors, may well attract the attention of fashion. The dress of a woman so prepared would change color according to the intensity of the light. Passing from darkness to light, the colors would brighten, thus conforming automatically to the environment, the last word of fashion for the future.” Another of Doctor Ciamician’s suggestions was that the world prepare to use the daily solar energy, equal to 6,000,000,000 tons of coal. Instead of the mere 1,000,000,000 tons of real coal which is mined per year. “Out of the arid lands there will spring up Industrial colonies without snfoke and without smokestacks,” he Baid, picturing what will happen when all the coal is gone; “forests of glass tubes will extend over the plains and glass buildings will rise everywhere. Inside these will take place the photo-chemical processes that hitherto have been the guarded secrets ' of the planets, but that will have been mastered by human industry. Life and civilization will continue as long aj the sun shines. If pur black and nervous civilization, based on coal, Bhall be followed by a quieter civilization of solar energy, that will not be harmful to progress and to human happiness.” ■ .* •

NEW IDEA IS PORTABLE CRIB

Capable of Being Conveyed From Room to Room, It Is Ideal for the Mother’s Use. Quite the latest thing in babyland la a crib designed and made for use out of doors, to wheel from room to room and especially constructed for easy transportation. The crib is made of white enameled wood, with fo< >t and headboard of fine steel-wire netting, covered on the inside with a metal finish to prevent the baby from hurting his hands on any ed*e*_ The crib rests on four.

wheels, wnicTT ename it to ne moved very easily. Its wire spring and its floss mattress may be raised to three different heights by means of screw eyes. The entire crib comes apart and, with wire spring and mattress, can be placed in a large canvas bag, which comes with it. Pockets in the bag are made for the wheels, so they cannot soil the mattress. In this manner the crib can be sent from place to place, and this easy way of packing wm he found a wonderful convenience, as often hotels do not supply babies’ cribs. In the daytime the crib can be used as a “little nursery,” in which the child can be placed with its rattles or toys. In this way it will be found a real comfort to the mother, as she may wheel the child into the room where she is busy 1 and be able tc watch it while attending to her household duties.

USES TOES TO PILOT BOAT

Man Without Arms Is One of the Most Skillful of His Profession in the World. Vacation visitors at Grand Isle, in Lake Champlain, have been much Interested in Charles A. Lutz, who is without arms and is yet a capable boat pilot. He claims so be the only armless pilot in the United States. He operates a 25-foot power boat easily and skillfully, carrying passengers about the different lake resorts. When Lutz appeared at the office of the inspectors in Burlington, yt., and asked for a'pilot’s license tlie inspectors thought he was disqualified by physical disability. However, they put the matter up to the commerce and labor departments in Washington. Word came back from Washington that if the inspectors were convinced Lutz could handle .the job to give him a license and let him try it Lutz took the inspectors for a ride in his boat. They went around a dangerous breakwater and passed a tug. The man piloted the craft without a bit of trouble. When finally the inspectors saw him take the engine to pieces with his toes and handle a wrench with them as well as most mechanics would with their hands they granted his license. Their wisdom in doing so is indicated by the fact that he has not had an accident this season. Lutz lost his arms when a child in the west.

Wishes to Prove Innocence. Laporte, Dec. 5. —“If I am given my liberty on parole or pardon, I will prove my innocence,” was the appeal made by John Wilson, a life man in Michigan City, who wrote to Harry B. Darling, secretary of the state board of pardons. Wilson was sent to prison from Connersville, where a jury found him guilty of killing his wife. Found Dead In His Room. Lafayette, Dec. 5. —Charles Emory Davis, sixty-six years old, a wealthy retired farmer, was found dead in his apartments in West Lafayette. Coroner Van Reed, who is investigating the case, says Davis had been dead twenty-four hours when his room was broken into by Marshal McCowan of West Lafayette. Pretty Window Curtains. For the home where guests are always arriving and departing there is nothing quite so nice for the windows as white cotton crepe. This can be Bimply hemmed or trimmed with ball fringe. For the dressers and bureaus covers of fleece lined pique will be found very satisfactory. This can be cut into the required sizes and the edges buttonholed in scallops. Two sets of curtains and covers Bhould be kept on hand, one in use and a clean one besides. In this way there is always a fresh set awaiting the incoming guest j ■w -«r m “Not guilty” was the verdict of th* Jury in the case of Joseph J. Ettor, Arturo Giovannitti and Joseph Caruso, on trial at Salem, Mass., for the murder of Anna Lopizzo, who was killed in a Lawrence textile strike riot last winter. When the three men heard the words freeing them from the charge they embraced and kissed each «ther.
