VACATION DAYS OVER

BeJiis Affairs Not Over'looked By Woman in Planning Duties.

Vacation is over, and women are returning home, prepared for the fall and winter round of society and club life. Good hard work, both of pleasure and culture, confronts every one. Now for work the real thing in life, whether it be in the club's round of study, or in the home looking after fthe interests of father and brother, mother and sister. And yet, real work does not mean the forsaking of planning the fall's igowns and hats, the preparing of costumes that will both enhance and satisfy. Brings Change. Fall brings the season's change, and women look forward to it with 'delight and pleasure. It is the forerunner of months of social enjoyment, doubly enhanced if the gowns and clothing are aesthetic. In fall, it is splendid to find a good jborse to ride, and if you are clothed 'in the correct riding costume, what j pleasure to ride far into the country. But then comes also the sober moIrnent when you sit in the gloaming of an evening and read the news. Bryan still lecturing things down I in Mexico.

was able, though, to get tome excellent pictures. Every here I went I found the Indians eager to har about the ways of civilised men. They mere keen to posses anything I owned. I was offered all sorts of things for the clothes 1 wore, for mirrors, hairpins, pencils, writing paper any sort of belonging. Indian Are Primitive. "Generally speaking, the Indians of northwest British Columbia are much the same as they were hundreds of years ago. They subsist almost entirely on the proceeds of their hunting and fishing. Every tribe has two chiefs, a civil and a religious chief, whose functions are sharply differentiated. Women have no standing among them. The women do all the work and are thrust into the background. They are not a good looking people and are rather undersized. "I was the first white woman who

had ever entered much cf that country. The Indians were amase4 when they saw me. They gave me promptly a name of their own coining. 'DeneScxaki.' which means "Man-woman. That was because I wore men's clothes and dealt with them as firmly aa the men they are accustomed to treat with. . "Some parts of the trip were very hard. I travelled light, taking no pack horses and carrying everything 1 possessed in a saddle bag on my riding horse. At night I slept in the open with an eiderdown quilt wrapped around me and over that a rubber coat. I was not molested by the Indians, although I kept a close watch most of the time."

A total of 1.374.000 organised miner were represented at the recent International Congress of Mine Worker.

By OLIVETTE. THE LITTLE frock we picture is of plaid ratine combined with chiffon and white satin. A vest of the white satin buttons down the front withtiny pearl buttons, and over this fall the deep bretell-like revers, ending in fringe. The chiffon is shirred down the shoulders and forms the under arm of waist and sleeve alike. The sleeve ends in quaint cuffs of the plaid, and these continue in a narrowing line of cloth up the chiffon sleeve. The chiffon crosses the satin vest and ends in a tiny knot. The skirt is entirely of the plaid ratine or boucle cloth, and is girdled below the hips by a self-sash which has long fringed ends. From beneath these ends the skirt falls in the fulness of a double inverted pleat.

A suit modelled for early Fall wear is that of the second picture. The costume is a tailored suit of black broadcloth with a high lustre. Its trimming is wide Hercules braid, a bit of Balkan embroidery and some tiny frogs and ornaments of narrow braid. The coat is long "swallow-tail," bound in the braid, with an odd vest of the braid continuing in a scarf down the front and ending in huge tassels. The sleeves widen into great bell-shaped cuffs over the wrists and have long simulated caps of the braid ending in a bishop's mitre near the cuff. The skirt has a long-pointed yoke extending well down the front, and to this the material is fulled ever so slightly.

Who is to blame for that, anyhow? It does seem as if, with all the money in this world and all the food I suppose the time will come when they'll look upon this generation as so many savages and 1 don't know but they'll be right. Where's my hat? . Who hid my gloves? Get me my veil! Do you wonder where we all go, and what makes us ever come back? Shine on, bright stars the little stream will look up at you. Call and call again, wild wind I shall not heed your calling Good-bye, Summer! Goodbye! Good-bye! Come Fall! Come friends! Come work! good work Honest work true work the best friend man ever had, the closest company and the dearest Joy!

Recall Days When Natural Gas Was Used in Almost Every Local Home

In Georgia, children of widows and of aged dependent fathers are allowed to go to work at 10 years old.

Prospects of natural gas in Richmond recall to many citizens the days when almost every home in the city was heated by gas. The housewife In those days had little trouble starting the fire in the morning, for all she had to do was to turn a key at the side of the range, touch a ma,tch to the escaping gas and in a few minutes she was ready to get breakfast. This natural resource of the state,

; however, was wasted, and only, too late did the legislature pass a bill re- ! quiring the closing of every gas well not in use.

A Perfect Fuel. Natural gas, in the opinion of many, is one of the most perfect fuels obtainable and is found wherever petroleum is found. Since it was first used as fuel, it has been recklessly wasted in many-places, until at last the Unit

ed States government has directed the attention of the bureau of mines to the waste. It is said that in Oklahoma over a million cubic feet of natural gas escapes every day, which means a waste of over $7,000,000 in the course of a single year. Much of this is wasted -through the desire of oil operators to secure this natural product as rapidly as possible. Bureau Experiments. The bureau is now experimenting to find some method which will permit the oil men to secure the oil from the earth without letting the gas escape. Several methods of doing this have

! been demonstrated. The most popular

consists in pumping Into tne drill a quantity of the soft, slimy mud to be found in oil fields. This is mixed

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. Miss Mary L. Jobe, an instructor ia history at the Normal College in this city, was busy last night at her home, unpacking trophies of an exploration expedition that took her for nearly seven weeks into the wilds of northwestern ! Brijish Columbia. Pack covers and duffle bags that retained the smoke of spruce wood cam pf ires were strewn j over the floor of the apartment and a j suit of corduroy jacket and riding i breeches that hung from the wall j testified to hard usage. Miss Jobe is a good looking worn-, an of 28. She is 6 feet 8 inches tall, i athletically built and looks as if she ' would be able to take care of herself ' on the trail. As a matter of fact she :

succeeded where some men have failed. Alone, except for an occasional Indian guide, she penetrated to the unexplored regions of northwestern British Columbia,. studied the Carrier Indians in their villages, made exhaustive notes on their life and customs and brought back with her material that she intends to use for a book, magazine articles and lectures. Trip Was Her Sixth. "I was not a tenderfoot by any means," said Miss Jobe last night. "This trip was the sixth that I have made into the far Northwest within eight years. On July 10 I left New York, went to Prince Rupert by way of Vancouver, and after outfitting started north to make studies of the Indians. "These little known Indians were for the most part friendly, although

shy and sometimes sullen. It was dlf-1 ficult to get photographs of them, j They fled to the brush the instant a j camera was produced. By giving i presents of bacon, sugar and tea. I '

with the water which is kept around the drill and this mud-laden liquid causes deposits which close up around the well and prevent the escape of the gas. Caps and casings are also provided for the purpose and their use materially lessens the difficulties of oil production. In the early daya of the industry. tLe burning of a gas or oil well was a common occurrence and the flames could be extinguished only with great difficulty. Equipment has now been perfected so that the largest fire of this kind can be readily handled. Contrary to popular belief, natural gas was known to exist even in the times of the ancients. Before the time of Julius Caesar, there was a burning fountain in what is now France. The natural fires caused by inflammable gases, which issued from fissures in the rocks along the shores of the Caspian sea, were worshiped by the ancient Parsees. Gas wells are known to have existed in Japan as far back as 615 B. C. In China gas was taken from wells drilled two thousand feet deep for salt. It was transported in bamboo pipes to certain palaces and temples in which it was kept burning.
