LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL British Employer of Labor Give Cordial Indorsement to the "Daylight Saving'' Proposition.

Inquiries in the loading centers of industry indicate that the operation of the summertime act is, among other results, having the elTect of increasing the output in shipyards and engineering works, says the London Times. On the northeast coast some of the yards have been able to arrange additional spells of daylight overtime, and in. other establishments there has been an increase in output owing to the fact that there are in the aggregate a large number of extra hours when the work an be carried on without the aid of .artificial light and with a lessened sense of fatigue. If statistics can be kept which will nable comparisons to be instituted between the output of the present summer and the corresponding period of last year it is believed that the comparison will be all to the advantage of the present year. Additional evidence of the benefit of the act from the industrial standpoint comes from the railways. It has been stated in the official organ of the National Union of Railwaymen that the -alteration of the clock has been followed by an improvement in the working of long-distance night goods trains. It lias been found that the extra hour of daylight has enabled the trains to he made up and loaded in less time, and there is a general feeling in railway circles that the summertime act should come into permanent operation, -as it would enable the work of railway goods yards to be conducted with .greater rapidity and safety. A point which seems to appeal to the men who are on an eight-hour shift is that, whatever the turn of duty to which they are assigned, they either begin or finish work in daylight. This may seem to be a small and unimportant matter, but the fact that it has -caused comment among a large body of workers reveals an unexpected direction in which putting working hours in advance of solar time has proved beneficial. PUT UNITED STATES FIRST Spanish-Americans in New Mexico Have Nothing in Common With Feople Across the Border. It is absurd to talk about any community of interest, sympathy or fellow feeling for old Mexico Mexicans among the native people of this state. They have absolutely nothing in com;mon and the average New Mexico Spanish-American doesn't take kindly to being classed in the same category, he New Mexico natives live "close to the soil"; they are intensely local in their affiliations and their loyalty is based simply on the fact that their home is the United States. New Mexico is their home state and they live largely in the same spot where their forefathers have lived for centuries. "With Mexico they have no more tie3 than with any other foreign country, save that they speak the same language. The fact that the native people have furnished three companies of the National Guard at the border and that the Spanish-American company in Santa Fe went off with a larger initial number of recruits than any other company in the state ought to be sufficient answer to these intimations. A well-known wool grower, declared that in the lambing season, when a large extra number of hands is employed, he never uses old Mexico labor for the reason that the peons are lazy and inefficient and never get along with the native New Mexico laborers by reason of the deep-seated antipathy of the latter to the Mexicans. Santa Fe New Mexican. Soldier Didn't Impress Her. Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, who, at the age of seventy -nine, has recently contributed some cleverly written articles to the periodical press, tells this story: An entertainment was given in his honor at his Norfolk home on his return from Egypt. Among the crowd assembled on the occasion was the wife of an agricultural laborer. She was very eager to know Sir Evelyn Wood, and a bystander pointed him out to her. "What!" she exclaimed, in amazej.ient. "that little man General Wood ! "Why, my old man could clout (thrash) him easily!" "Never." said Sir Evelyn, as he concluded his story, "had I felt more humiliated." Picking a "Peach." "Marcella?" "Yes, Waverly " "Where is the milk?" "Right there in the bottle." "This one?" "No, the next one. That is Just like you." "What is?" "To n?an right over the sweet one and pick the sour one. You always do that." ' Not always." "IM like to know when you didn't." "When I got you." "Huh!" "When I got you, Marcelln, I reached over a whole bunch of lemons and picked a peach." "h, Wsverlyi" Chicago Daily Nows. Delayed Decisions. "It took a long time to decide the election." "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum; "it seems that you've got to stop and hold an investigation of nearly everything at the present time."

TRAINING FOR YOUNG ESKIMO

United States Government Doing Good Work in the Northwestern Districts of Alaska. Wien a fat little Eskimo wanders out of his father's igloo these days he isn't allowed to pnss his time with the child reindeers nor in the free and philosophical contemplation of seals and penguins. Instead Uncle Sam grabs him and puts him to school. The bureau of education of the department of the interior maintains public schools for the Eskimos of the northwestern districts of Alaska. School republics and school gardens are established by the government. There are cooking classes, classes In carpentry and the usual elementary school 'instruction. The psychology of reindeers, how best to rear, guard and train them, also is a part of the government instruction. Boys who are specializing along this line are apprenticed as helpers with the government reindeer herd for four years. Walter C. Shields, superintendent of the work of the bureau of education, tells in the Eskimo, a publication issued at Nome, Alaska, by the teachers of the Eskimo schools, how closely the school instruction fits into the needs of the Eskimo villages: "The school republic becomes the village council, the school garden is soon the village garden, the cooking class becomes the bread-baking class for the village, the bench work of the boys' class becomes the boat and sledbuilding center for the village, and, most remarkable of all, the apprentice reindeer herder becomes the trained herder, the supporter of his family and a future leader of his people." SMALL DIFFERENCE TO PAT Name of Horse Depended on Generosity of Winner of Bet Made by His Passengers. After landing from the liner at Queenstown, a friend accompanied me on a "jaunting" trip through the city of Cork and its surrounding hills. Our driver was the typical Hibernian car driver. The trap in which we journeyed was suggestive of the famous one-horse shay, and the melancholy steed that in response to the chirrups of our Jehu dragged us wearily over the rough road seemed so blase that it excited our comment and led to a wager between us as to the name to which the animal answered, when he answered at all. "I'll bet you a dollar his name is Mickey," I ventured. "I'll bet two dollars his name is Dennis," retorted my companion. "Pat, what is your horse's name?" "That depends, yer honor," returned the driver. "Dlnnis or Mickey, which ever of yez goes halves on yer winnin's." The bet was declared off, but Pat got a tip for his wit. New York American. Grand Opera Climax. Little Isabelle is very fond of music and never misses an opportunity to attend a concert or hear music in any form. One afternoon some days ago her mother took the litle girl to call on a friend who owns a music box. For the kidling's benefit the music machine was started and the hostess went through her list of records from "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" and "Take a Little Tip From Father," to "The Jewel Song" from "Faust." The last record was the "Miserere" from "II Trovatore," and as everyone knows it is a tuneful selection in spite of the mournful name. The grand climax of the selection, with all the opera stars singing their best, appealed to little Isabelle especially and she sat with wide-open eyes and ears until the last note died away. Then she cried : "Gee, mamma! That sounds just like a glorified cat-fight." Brockton Enterprise. Work of Japanese Silkworms. An improvement in the manner of hatching silkworms has been recently perfected by Japanese growers. Egg cards are immersed in diluted hydrochloric acid for five to ten hours just before they are hatched. In a fortnight or 12 days after the immersion, the eggs are perfectly hatched, and worms that are stronger and more healthy than those hatched in any other way may be seen coming out of the shells. The silk produced by the worms thus hatched is better and longer than that produced in any other way. It has been stated that the silk produced by the worms bred in the newly invented way measured 1,200 feet, whereas the thread produced by the worms hatched in the ordinary way measures only 700 feet at the longest. Arc Lamps Disappearing. With the advent of the gas-filled incandescent electric lamp the future of the ordinary inclosed arc lamp as a commercial product dwindled away. Ordinary tungsten lamps of the vacuum type had been competing with the inclosed arc lamp, but not with the degree of success that had attended the gas-filled unit. This new type of lamp has superseded the ordinary Inclosed arc lamp for both street and factory lighting. Electrical World. Chance for Heroism. "But, Miss Grabcoln, 1 cannot live wlzout you." "If that is the case, my dear count, will you oblige me by going to the frout and dying for your country?"

FOR WINTER WEAR

MODISH HATS DISTINCTLY ORIGINAL IN STYLE. One of the "Picture" Variety Eminently Suitable for a Young Girl 'Tailored" Type for Wear With the Street Suit The sketch illustrates two modish hats of widely different types. The upper belongs in the "picture" hat class, and it is for a young girl. The hat proper is of black velvet. The rather drooping brim is underfaced with ciel blue faille silk, and ribbon the same shade bands the soft crown. Continuing at one side it forms a flow loosely, or it may be caught up underneath the chin and secured to the hat at the opposite side. A pink rose with foliage decks the upper brim on either side of the hat. The lower hat has upper crown and visored brim of black velvet, with full outer crown of taupe-colored felt runs with ribbon in the same shade and ornamented in front with a metal buckle or slide. This hat is of the "tailored" type and is suitabte for wear with a street suit or coat. The vogue for tarns and other softcrowned hats continues very strong. The Henry VITI style with its plume coming out from beneath the soft crown is a popular model. The fancy for fur in the construction and decoration of hats shows no sign of abating, Ermine, skunk, moleskin and Hudson seal are being cfit up for mil linery purposes. Hats with helmet or visored brims emphasize the leaning to things military in the development of millinery, and chin bands of fur, velvet or grosgrain or faille ribbon are modish. These appear on many of the motor hat models. While variety in shape is practically unlimited, it may be noted that the Two Modish Hats for Winter Wear. very tiny hats are growing fewer. Medium-sized and large hats are decidedly approved by Dame Fashion this year. Rembrandt, shepherdess and Gainsborough hats are seen in great numbers. The vogue for purple millinery has waned, and navy, burgundy, taupe, Russian green, brown may be said to be the leading colors, with bright trimming touches relieving any possible somberness. USEFUL STAND FOR WATCH Adapted for Writing Table or at the Bedside Keeps the Timepiece Free From Dust. A very useful watch stand this for a writing table or by the bedside ; it may be used for keeping the watch covered and away from dust, or as a stand as shown. It is made from any box about three inches square ; it must be one that has Watch Stand. the lid eparate from lower part, over which it fits when closed. Cover the outside with "a pretty piece of silk or small-patterned chintz. The silk for the lower part must be cut in a strip a litrle deeper than the box, so as to turn over each edge, and long enough to fit ail four sides; that for the lid must be cut square and a little larger than top of lid. First cover the lid smoothly, fixing the turned-over edges with some adhesive; they can be notched here and there to make them lie flat; the strip for covering the sides should be laid

CANARY-COLORED CAPE COAT An up-to-the-minute cape coat of yellow broadcloth trimmed with collar and cuffs of fur. It is not necessary, fashion experts say, to carry a cane in order to wear this coat, but it adds to the attractiveness. The drawn up effect on the sides is the latest wrinkle in coat designs. over a strip of paper the depth of lid, the upper edge turned in and fixed, the other left free to turn over edge of lid after this piece is fixed neatly round the sides of lid. Next line the lid, commencing with the sides ; cover the lower part of box, but only line the sides, and inside put a soft silk-covered cushion of wadding for the watch to rest on; it should fit the box, being tucked down tightly at the sides. When the watch is not in use the lid would be put on in the usual way, but when the watch is wanted to be visible, place the lid on the table and the box tilted up inside it as shown in the sketch. NOVELTY THAT HAS MERIT Bag Pillow Has Become an Almost Indispensable Adjunct of the Up-to-Date Boudoir. The moving pictures have shown some pathetic scenes where the heroine, an orphan child, poor and homeless, gathers a bundle of hay beneath her head and lies down for a sleep in the fresh air. Just the opposite picture might be shown of an only daughter surrounded by luxury about to curl up on her chaise lounge and lean her head against a silk bag which is one of the latest things in pillowland. The bag pillow is a novelty which has the virtue of being practicalsomething which cannot be said of every novel thing. To make such a pillow, a piece of silk about two yards square or a huge circle of silk can be used. About two inches in from the edge of the material run a gathering thread. Before drawing the material together insert a filler which will fit the covering. Now pull on the gathering thread. Conceal the opening with two tabs of silk and weight each tab with a silk tassel. Velvet could be used in place of silk with very good results. A monogram embroidered on the pillow would add to its value. SHOW ORIGINALITY IN STYLE Season's Pattern Effects Certainly Novel, Whatever Else May Be Thought of Them. Upon going the round of the shops there is one thing noticeable about the winter models in clothes and their accessories, and that is the new effects in patterns. Sometimes they are startling, sometimes merely different, but always they are novel. When, for example, one sees an evening gown, designed probably for the most elaborate affair of the fall season, blossoming forth in all kinds of fantastic Chinese embroidery; one wonders if tho impressionists are, after all, the most extreme of modern schools of art. And when one sees tiny quadrupeds and miniature trees ; on the new veils the effect is arresting, to say the least. Some of the latter, instead of going so far as the abovementioned animals, content themselves with a bee or a spider, which crawls nonchalantly across the wearer's face, and others affect extreme simplicity until their endurance gives out, whereupon the border of the veil becomes a revelry of figures, patterns and designs. And so, from all appearances, whatever the coming season may hold in the way of beauty, in the matter of originality it certainly is not backward. New Dress Belts. A very new fashion feature are encircling dress belts. They are of the gown's color and have in the center front an applied oblong ornament cf a bright contrasting color. This space is often covered by an odd scroll design done in beads, fioss or metal threads, and adorned with buttons and passementerie touches.

MATADOR DOOMED IN MEXICO

General Carranza Puts a Ban on Bullfights in the Southern Republic. General Carranza has acted for the betterment of Mexico by issuing a decree abolishing bullfighting, long regarded as the national sport of Mexico. The decree states the government Is under obligations to stamp out customs which are opposed to culture, and to aid civilization by elevating the moral level of the people. It denounces bullfights as needlessly endangering the lives of men, torturing beasts, provoking sanguinary sentiments and disgracing the country. Then what a commentary on the poor of Mexico follows! Immediately after the C nunciation of bullfighting the decree adds that bullfights cause misery to the poor, who, for a moment's enjoyment, go without the necessaries of life. This, remarks the El Paso (Tex.) Herald, is an admission that the masses of Mexico are willing to deprive themselves of food and clothing to enjoy something which is a disgrace to the country. This recalls a statement ascribed to the late President Diaz, who, when asked once whom the people of Mexico would elect for president if allowed an unrestricted exercise of the ballot, is said to have replied: "Bombito, the bullfighter." There may have been some truth In the alleged interview, or it may be wholly fictitious. If at all true, It illustrates the hold which the so-called sport has had upon some Mexicans, especially the lower classes. Opaiized Woods of Montana. While people everywhere have heard of the wonderful petrified forests of Arizona, few of them are aware of the existence of another petrified forest in Montana of equal extent. The latter is held to be much more remarkable in many ways than the Arizona forests. The petrified forests in the Southwest are chiefly extraordinary by reason of the fact that entire trees have by the action of the elements undergone transformation into agate. The Montana forest is more extraordinary because the trees have been changed into opal, instead of agate, thus making a very peculiar and beautiful ornamental stone.

The old farmer had been haled before the magistrate to show cause why he hadn't taken out a license for a pet terrier. "Whoy, he's nobbut a puppy," he exclaimed in defense. "Yes, yes, so you say," said the clerk. "But how old is he?" "I couldn't tell to a bit," was the reply. "I never was much good at dates, but he's nobbut a puppy." On the other hand, evidence proved that the dog was long past puppyhood, and the bench inflicted the usual fine. Talking it over afterward, the farmer exclaimed: " 'Ang me if can un'erstand it !
