A LITTLE ENGLISH A lot of brute strength goes to waste every day by people who drive tacks with sledge hammers. If they pound their fingers and knock a hole in the plastering they invariably lose their tempers and blame the whole noble line of hammers. Still other people drive tacks with a flat Iron and people have been known to attempt the rolling pin. I watched the nicety and finesse of a billiard player the other night. I don't know much about the game but I saw that by hitting the ball a little to one side with a delicate touch the player was able to make the ball progress up one side of the table and rebound to the center where, after touching another ball it was in good position for another shot. That man in employing the laws of physics and science which govern billiards WAS DEMONSTRATING A PROBLEM IN TACTFUL ADVERTISING. His delicate touch and finesse is known as "using a little English." IP HE HAD SMASHED THE BALL IT WOULD HAVE GONE OVER THE TABLE AND HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DOSS.

Yesterday I said I would print an editorial from the Wanamaker ADVERTISEMENT in that forceful, progressive NEWSPAPER, The Philadelphia North American. It is worth studying as a guide to fashion, or as a means of stimulating a demand for goods. Here it is: Some Fancies of La Mode & The Parisienne (From Our Special Paris Editorial Staff.) 'Goo1 taste In drcHS. when It is shown, my friends, - the. immediate jewel of the coul. Who says la Mode is lcl ute' nays wrongly; 'tis something, nothing; 'tis yours. ":U mine: It belongs to all the world. & is the sport of iLumands; & thev who say 'la Mode, 'tis without reason,' oh it of that which Is its chief attraction & make it poor . iideed." , There mav bo two very Rood reasons why the collarless town does not idease the fear of catching cold & a fear f appearing unclad; yet there are lifty srootl reasons for its attracting almost every one. The two arguments against It have ions ago been taboo fc the collarless gown & Jacket have i'oiiio to Btay for at least a season. The arguments lor It are found in the thousand dainty trifles it has created for the neck Youth Is a particular partisan of the collarless gown & of the frilled Dutch collar, lying flatly on the shoulders & with Its laundered perfection always attractive. Yet thev are not absolute, these frilled Dutch collars; thev are something for many, but they are nothing for others, & their place is taken by delicate frlllings of the Ktngle and double side ruffles & the austere rabat. These r little etceteras which please, every one. Nowhere are Miev more appreciated than in Paris, & never more so than at the present moment. In the question of more elahorate dress two ideas have flvvavH to he considered first, the color, &. secondly, the II nr.." There are many who consider that a good line is more effective that a color scheme; but it is. perhaps, more, difficult to obtain. It is more difficult because it Is less understood & appeals less to the eye than good color. Both are followed very closely In Paris at the present time, & a g-ood line in a gown is as much considered as the best color combination. It is possibly the Frenchwoman who understands both who is always well drest, & who therefore attracts the whole world. The man who wrote that did not say "Ruffled Dutch Collars worth $1.00 marked down to 39 cts." HE SAID: "Youth Is a particular partisan of the collarless gown and of the FRILLED DUTCH COLLARS, lying FLATLY on the shoulders and with its LAUNDERED PERFECTION always ATTRACTIVE." He was not driving a tack with a sledge hammer nor with a flat Iron. HE USED A LITTLE ENGLISH ON IT.

If I were writing ADVERTISEMENTS FOR WOMEN TO READ, I would read NELL BRINKLEY'S delicate little sketches which appear with those tapestries in line in the Indianapolis Sun. v I. would try .to catch the rustle of silk, the winsome wistfullness of a strayed lock of a hair, the perfume which seems to emanate from the very soul of every woman. I WOULD TALK TO WOMEN AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANTED AND THEN I WOULD TELL THEM ABOUT WHAT I HAD WHICH WOULD PLEASE THEM. IF I HAD SOMETHING NEW I WOULD TRY TO TELL IT IN SUCH A WAY THAT I WOULD CREATE A DEMAND BASED ON THE MERIT OF THE ARTICLE. All women like attractive things. Give them attractive advertisements telling of the color, line, and the appeal of good things you have in stock. Then YOU WILL HEAR THEM ASKING FOR THE THINGS YOU ADVERTISED IN THE PAPER. Every copy of the Palladium is read by at least one woman.

BRYANT IS HOW OUT Superintendent of the Eaton Schools Declines to Accept Position Again. HIS ENEMIES WERE BUSY. (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., June 10. Superintendent Forrest B. Bryant of the Eaton schools has announced that he will not accept re-employment at the hands of the )oard of education. Charges of dissatisfaction against Superintendent Bryant's connection with the Bchools have been in circular lion and are generally known in Eaton. The information available to the public is that these charges have gained circulation among the subordinate teachers of the schools. What the reasons for the charges are not authoritatively known, but it is conceded by the public that they are not of a nature to be termed correct. Knowing that such charges of dissatisfaction would injure Superintendent Kryant's chances for re-employment, petitions were circulated by his friends and presented to the board of education. The petitions requested a thorough Investigation of the matter. The board met Tuesday night and was in session until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning and re-employed all teachers save Professors Kleppinger and O'Leary and Superintendent Bryant. Another meeting was held Wednesday afternoon, when Bryant's supporters were present to intercede In his behalf. It was then that Mr. liryant announced he would not accept another term, believing that the ruptlon now existing between himself and two or three of the faculty would work gainst the good of the school. Mr. Bryant has served as superintendent for the past three years and now has the school in an expedient condition. The pupils and patrons were favorable to his re-employment, and his action in rcTustng another term Is generally regretted. There Is no end to the curiosities of smell. It is for Instance the vapor of a liquid that smelis and not the liquid tn the mass itself. If can de cologno be poured into the nostril the nose refuses to recognize any oder there at Ml. '

WORKING ON ALLEYS Good Part of the Cleaning Work for the Years Has Been Completed. FORMER METHODS USED. The work of cleaning the alleys of the city will be completed within a short time if the leather clears up and permits outside work by the large force of the street department Street Commissioner Genn stated today that all the alleys in the city had been cleaned with the exception of those from Nineteenth street, west to the river and from Main to the railroad. This is the first time in four years that the alleys have been cleaned by cutting the weeds out with a hoe and scraping them. Enuring the democratic administration the alleys were swept with a heavy broom. Street Commissioner Genn does not believe in this method as he says it is impossible to get the dirt out from between the boulders and impossible to cut out the weeds. He hopes that the residents will assist in keeping the alleys clean for the remainder of the year by providing waste boxes and seeing that waste and garbage are placed in them. KILLED BY STORMS (American News Service Berlin, June 10. Reports received today say that more than forty persons have been killed by the terriffic electrical storms which have swept Germany and Russia. The war department today ordered that all manouvers be abandoned until the storms have passed. This is the result of the killing of several soldiers at various points by lightning. The damage to crops is much heavier than was at first reported and the monetary loss probably will be more than $1,000,000, the Rhine country being one of the chief sufferers. Several houses have been- hit by liolts.

ELT SAILS FOR NATIVE LAND n Popular American Traveler is Given a Great Ovation When he Boarded His Ship at Southampton Today. WHISTLES TOOT AND BIG CROWD CHEERED Many Distinguished People Are His Fellow Passengers And He Will Have a Reception on the Boat. (American News Service) Southampton, England, June 10. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt sailed for New York today while the whistles of every craft screamed mightily, bands blared and thousands afloat and on shore cheered a glorious farewell. After spending the night with Foreign Secretary Grey, with whom he is understood to have left a final message of appreciation of England's hospitality, Roosevelt joined his family at the steamship docks where a special tender took them to the steamship Kaiserin Victoria amidst an ovation more demonstrative than any since he stepped ashore at Naples, fresh from the jungles of Africa. Col. Roosevelt expresses great delight at the prospect of soon landing on native soil, although he acknowledges his fifteen months trip abroad afforded him immense pleasure. Two suites, comprising seven rooms, were placed at his disposal on the steamship, to be occupied by Roosevelt, his wife, Mrs. Longworth, Kermit and Miss Ethel. Many distinguished persons took advantage of opportunity ot the honor of sailing to America on the same boat with Roosevelt and the trip will embrace many receptions in Roosevelt's honor." The "deck" of "the 'steamship was profusely decorated with Ameri can flags. The most talked of Amer ican traveler is due at quarantine the night of June seventeenth and the following morning is held the welcome homecoming reception of a magnitude and cordiality perhaps never before ex tended to an American citizen. ASK FOR CUSTODY OF TAR'S Mr. and Mrs. John Reid Would Like to Adopt Pretty Rosa Liberati. CHILD IS IN ORPHANAGE SAID THAT HER FATHER, DISSATISFIED WITH HER PLAYMATES AT OMAHA, TREATED HER IN A CRUEL MANNER. John Reid, a resident of West Richmond, has written to the chief of police of Omaha. Neb., requesting that he and his wife be given the custody of Rosa Liberati, a cousin of President Taft, who was taken from her father, Edward Liberati, last week and placed in an orphan asylum. Mr. and Mrs. Reid are well acquainted with the child she having been in their charge for about five weeks, four years ago. The child was placed in their charge by the father upon the death of its mother at Reid Memorial hospital. The father took his daughter with him when he went to Omaha shortly after his wife's death. Mr. and Mrs. Reid were attracted to the child by her beauty and disposition. It Is said that the father placed the child in their care because he was dissatisfied with the associations which she was forming where she was located before. According to accounts from Omaha it was because the father was dissatisfied with the child's playmates, believing them below her social position he treated Rosa in a cruel and inhuman manner, and the authorities were required to place the child in an orphanage. The authorities here were considering taking similar steps against the father as were taken by the Omaha authorities. The father had a violent temper and he often punished the child in a most inhuman manner, it is said. TO QUIET TITLE. Suit which includes in its action partition of real estate, construction of will and to quiet title to real estate was filed in the circuit court today by Mary E. La mot t and others against Rebecca Jane Watt and forty nine others.

DIXIE LAND RECOVERING EFFECT OF STORM Situation Today is a Little Im proved But the Weather Bureau Predicts Return of the Disturbance. HOUSES ARE ROOFLESS AND CROPS DESTROYED Gale, Accompanied by Rain, Hail, Thunder and Lightn ing, Was Worst Experienc ed in South in Years. (American News Service) St. Louis, Mo., June 10. "Dixie" today is recovering from the effects of the worst storm which has struck it in some years. Assuming proportions of a cyclone, at times, and accompan ied by lightning, deep, heavy thunder. hail and rain, the storm unroofed hous es, destroyed crops, washed away rail road bridges and did almost incalcula ble damage. The weather bureau holds out no en couragement for immediate relief and predicts further storms in the terri tory. Many buildings in this city were jinroofed and several burned. Reports from Arkansas, Mississippi and Western Tennessee in dicate that much damage had been done by the storm. Zigzagged Down River. The storm zigzagged down the Mississippi. Starting above St. Louis, it shot across the river to Cairo. Ills.: where it tore a packet boat from its moorings and carried it across the stream where it was beached. None hut a frightened negro watchman was aboard. The storm tore down electric light wires, plunging the city into darkness, and created havoc for two hours. It bounded down and across the river to St Louis, where it did fur ther damage and then proceeded on its journey of destruction. Rains of a torrential nature fell over Western Arkansas, and a cyclone hit the towns of Pine Bluffs and Hot Springs. Only one life was lost, that of David Meadows, a farmer near Ft. Smith, Ark., who was drowned while riding a mule. A 'Frisco train went through a bridge near the same town, the engine getting across In safety, but fifteen cars of merchandise went down to destruction. A college building at Xettleton, Ark., was destroyed. Wire service all over Arkansas was out of commission for several hours. Damage to crops will be enormous. Young corn was beaten to the ground and cotton washed out of the soil. This will mean probably a total loss of the early corn crop in this section, and many thousand acres of cotton will haye to be replanted. THE WEATHER. INDIANA Unsettled; showers to-

SECURES CONTROL OF GAS COMPANY

Controlling Interest in R. N. G. Corporation Has Been Purchased and Remainder of Stock Desired. STANDARD OIL CROWD INTERESTED IN DEAL? Gas Will be Piped Into Rich mond From the West Virginia Fields and Adequate Supply is Assured. Options on approximately two-thirds of the stock of the Richmond Natural Gas company have been secured by Lee Ashley of the Westcott Motor Car company, in behalf of a syndicate which in August next will pass Into control of the company's affairs. This fact was admitted by officers of the TJ ii"K rtr, A X ...... 1 . . J inumuuu n.iuiai vj u cum puny louay though the profession was made that it was not definitely known to whom the stock is to bo. There are shares in the com pany and under the terms of the purs chasers the payment is to be made on a basis of & cents on the dollar. Holders of stock who haven't yet given options have, it is understood, until July 1 to file such options. For some reasons not satisfactorily explained, there has been more or less mystery connected with the deal, a fact perhaps due to the desire of those interested to not permit their identity to become known until the transaction was practically concluded. The Common Belief. The belief prevails however, and it is founded on more than mere gossip, that the company which controls the West Virginia and Southern Ohio natural gas fields will be the real owners of the stock in the Richmond Natural Gas company, and that the way. will immediately be ouened to se cure for Richmond an adequate supply of fuel next winter. The company already has iermanent lines into Cincinnati and Hamilton, O.. and it is asserted before midsummer is here work will have begun on a sixteen inch line from Hamilton to Richmond. The syndicate behind the project, probably backed by the millions of the Standard Oil crowd, does not expect to depend on the natural product for the future, but intends to supply its lines with manufactured fuel gas when the time comes that the , West Virginia fields shall no longer prove adequate. The time was, and not so many years ago, that the Richmond Natural Gas company paid annual dividends as high as o per cent, but in the last few years the cost of maintaining the supply has been so heavy that profits have gone glimmering.' This accounts for the purchase of stock at the basis of cents on the dollar. However, it is asserted the original stockholders have received their investment back several times in dividends and despite the sacrificing figure of the disposition of stock at this day, the investment has been one great profit. Richmond people are concerned in the deal only in so far as the matter of fuel supply is concerned, and it would appear that the deal now being ciosed will bring a plentiful supply. There have been many persons who have expressed the belief that the real purchasers of the stock Is the eastern syndicate that controls the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company, but this has been denied by the officers of the Natural Gas company.
