Zeppelin Drcadnoushte of the air am
in the public eye once again because
of recent accidents. The first disaster
! to one of the famous German inven
'tor's greatdirigibles in which life was
loat occurned at sea between the main
land and Helgoland. The new naval
ship LI. was dashed into the sea by
a terrific storm, and fifteen of the
crew were lost. Several were saved
by torpedo boats. The Zeppelin I.,
commanded by Count Zeppelin him
self, and the Zeppelin IV. were dam
aged during the war maneuvers in Si
lesia. Despite these accidents and the
IxjGS of life, the great airsmps have
accomplished wonders - for the Ger
man army and navy, and the latest
disaster will not deter further develop
ment of these huge aerial boats for
peace and -war.
FADS AND FASHIONS
, SIeeves are nearly all full length.
Slnisk collars are dyed two colors.
Smare costumes are made of bedford
. cord.
Much vwool embroidery is used on the
new fall costumes..
Printed eilks are a favorite material
'for afternoon coexumes.
There ace many scarf-trimmed hajts
among the new models.
ITew collars are greens, reds, copper,
orange,, browns and violet.
Many' of the- hats are flat, resem
bling the plateau or. mandarin hats.
Costumes of black satin are bright
ened by touches of crimson eatin.
The new mocies in fall coats and
; costumes Dequire very elaborate neck
wear. The chic sParisienne has taken an
. e mazing-fancy to the short tunie ef
' feets.
Serge is the material of the moment
for street wear 'and office dresses.
For afternoon ', wear there is the long
"white silk glove,-with an embroidered
Tbf.ek.
Flower-sprigged"1 challis and voile are
popular materials for making one-piece
frocks.
The outline of the dress neck of the
; present Invariably runs to a "V" at
"the front.
Some afternoon gowns are cut so low
that they might almost serve for even
. ing wear. '
Bandeaux, arranged at the ,side or
across the . back, .tip the 'hats well over
the eyes. : -
Skirts of plain zibeline cloth, velour
ar;d mousseline are looped at back and
eides.
The brilliant-colored silk tricot jack
. et is having great success at the pres
ent moment.
Evening gowns have novel front
trains passing between the feet and
trailing behind.
Lace used as inside revers is a fem
inine touch which has been given to
come waistcoats.
The English girl's sporting- jacket is
either yellow, amber, cherry, green,
blue or rose.
A stunning vest can be made of
striped satin or bengaline, with the
cords clearly defined.
The black-and-white skirts are par
ticularly smart to wear with white
"blouses for mornings.
Many entire lace dresses are flounced
with net, bordered with narrow bands
of fur.
The newest draped skirts are raised
:hort.in front and widen in folds to
' ward the hips.
One of the pretty i new modes is the
. blouse of ecru tulle, with collars and
cuffs of black tulle.
Among new fabrics are many broche
jlaines, garnished with sequins and
fgrold or silver iace.
; For every kind of sport the brilliant
itthued silk knitted or wool coat is a
charming and becoming style.
Evening girdles are to be wide and
; draped, and will be worn both below
j-nd above the waist line.
This year's wedding gown should be
fashioned of plain or brocaded satin,
crepe de chine or charmeuse.
Fabric hats will be leaders in the
millinery -world, the loveliest being of
velvet, moire, taffeta, crepe or velour.
Taffeta will be used to trim the new
fall hats; many of the draped and mob
crowns are of this material.
Fashion dictates that the contour of
the head must be outlined. No rats
and little false hair must be used.
The most distinctly Oriental note in
the newest frocks is the broad sash,
which is swathed around the figure.
The newest fall Jackets are cut away
quite sharply at the front and slope
away to a medium short length at the
back.
The decidedly new thing about coats
is the wide turnover collar, sometimes
running down into revers at the front.
The charms of the flounced skirt has
returned to favor, and many pretty
dresses show kilted flouncings of tulle
or lace.
A favorite fabric for afternoon dress
es is net in all weights and in many
combinations. It is washable, cool, in
epensive and new.
Striped materials are very fashion
able, and a red-and-black striped chif
fon jacket is effectively combined with
a gray tussor silk skirt.
Some of the new skirts are slashed
to the knee over the right foot, where
a bow-knot of brilliants catches the
drapery in place. '
Fashion seems to have swung around
again - to the separate jackets and sep
arate shirts, and the selection of con
trasting colors 'must be harmonious. "
Among the new fall colors are putty,
absinthe green, .eggplant purple, Sev
res green, Florentine red, scarab green,
mandarin yellow and oak-leaf brown.:
Close-fitting hats, " with outstanding
trimming, are as much in vogue as
ever. The trimming may be either
feather, fancyi or loops of ribbon, and
velvet in fantastic shape.
Collarettes, of maribou are - short
and -wide and finished with a bow and
ends. They . come in exquisite chin
chilla mixture, a softly shaded gray
and a variety of new Parisienne
shades.
Fo.r the young girls there are smart
little frocks o& serge, chiffon, broad
cloth, charmeuse and wool brocade.
Some of. them have quaint little Eton
jackets, opening over vests of softly
gathered net or chiffon.
A black or dark blue gown is bright
ened with the Arab sash, ' woven with
white, lines of somewhat crude shades
'into a kind of gold tissue. It is knot
ted in front and falls a few centimeters
over the skirt towards the hem.
HOUSEHOLD NOTES
When seeding raisins, try soaking
them in boiling water, letting thern re
main in it for two minutes. - Pass the
water off and open the raisins, and
the seeds can be removed easily.
To have your clothes clean and beau
tifully white, place " a slice of lemon
with the rind cut off fn the boiler. The
result is surprising, and will not in
any way hurt or injure the clothes.
A large, clean marble boiled in milk,
porridge, custards, sauces or stews
will automatically do the stirring
whilst the liquid cooks. Any chance
of burning is prevented, therefore the
weariness of constant stirring is avoid
ed and time is saved.
Time and labor are saved, if before
preparing vegetables you first spread
a piece of brown paper on the table.
The refuse and dirt can be rolled up
in the paper and burned, leaving the
table as clean as it was before.
If the alarm-clock rings too loudly
for the peace of the household, slip an
elastic band around' the bell to dimin
ish the noise; the wider the band, the
stronger the suppression, and a few
experiments -will demonstrate just what
width is most desirable.
Dissolve one handful of salt In a
pint of vinegar and wash the stove
with this solution. Wipe dry with a
flannel cloth and put a few drops of
turpentine in the blacking with which
you finish it off. This will put the
rustiest stove in good condition.
Croutons for soup can be made easily
in a corn-popper. Ihey will crisp in
a moment, and a quantity may be
made at a time. Cut the bread into
squares of the desired size, place in
the long-handled popper and . thrust
into a glowing furnace.
To bleach clothes that have turned
yellow from long use, or from wearing
in the dust, put them to soak for about
five ' days "in buttermilk. Use a stone
jar or a wooden bucket for this pur
pose. At- the end of that' time rinse
thoroughly and boil in a light suds.
. Before dyeing a. garment mark each,
right-hand or left-hand piece, so there
will be no uncertainty about which is
.the .right or wrong side after dyeing.
A thread fastened at one edge of each
piece,- and left an inch or two in length,
will answer the purpose.
If the baby is . afraid of the water
and cries and screams when taking his
bath, buy several prettily colored cork
"bobbers," such as fishermen use.
Throw these in the bathtub, and baby
will get so busy trying to catch them
that he will forget to be afraid of his
morning bath, and even learn to like
it.
When washing cream wool . or cotton
goods, instead of using blueing, try
putting the water in which a few on.
ion skins have been boiled in the last
rinsing water, and. yo-u will be insured
of a clear, bright cream, much differ
ent from the muddy color so often ex
perienced when coffee is used for the
same purpose;
If at, any time you find your lamp
well almost empty, and you realize to
your dismay that there is.no oil in the
house, replenish the well with water.
The presence of the latter causes the
oil-to -rise to 'the top, thus enabling
the wick to be saturated thoroughly
with .it.. You will.be surprised to find
your light just as bright and as clear
as ever.
In making cookies, do not roll and
cut them out in the old way, but take
the whole batch of dough, form it in
a long roll about an inch in diameter
end cut in one-piece slices with a sharp

SPKEADERS OF DISCONTENT.
(From the Duluth (Minn.) Herald.)
The medical world is stirred up now
and then by the discovery of persons
who are walking distributors of dis
ease germs. There . was "Typhoid
Mary," for instance, who was shown
to be a living incubator of typhoid
germs, though herself immune to the
disease, and who had to be quaran
tined to prevent her from spreading
typhoid wherever she went. That's a
serious problem, too; and it is for
tuna,te that such freaks are rare.
But there are other distributors for
whom no quarantine is available. They
are distributors of the germs of dis
content and gloom. Not the whole
some discontent which stirs up dis
satisfaction with that which Is wrong
and works to make it right, but the
unreasoning discontent of . those who
do not know how to be happy them
selves, and who hate to see others
happy.
Xou know the kind. iBuch people
have a dash of . cold water for every
enthusiasm, and a word of pessimism
to darken the brightest situation.
They protrude their sour visages and
dark disposition wherever' there is light
and cheer; and their company is like
drawing a cloud over a clear sky.
Unhappy themselves, whether for
good reason or no reason or just "nat
ural cussedness," they resent the hap
piness of . others and delight in dissi
pating it if they can.
There is no quarantine for such dis
tributors of the germs of discontent,
but there ought to be.
The only defense is the cultivation
of a cheerful spirit that will turn the
gloom of the pessimist as readily as a
duck's feather turn water.
CLEAN JOURNALISM.
Senator Works of California has re
cently distributed a copy of bis
speech in the Senate on his bill mak
ing it unlawful to publish reports of
crimes and accidents in the District
of Columbia. '
Mr. Works, in the conclusion, of his
speech, admitted the futility of his
proposed statute, by conceding that
the evils of which he complains can
not be overcome by law. But while
one may well deny the desirability of
Mr. Works' main proposition, many of
his criticisms upon the modern news
paper are fair.
For instance, in deploring unwar
ranted intrusion in private life, he re
fers to the desecration of funerals
by persistent efforts of newspapermen
to get pictures of the mourners, the
casket, and the bearers. Most news
paper people will concede that when
people are struggling with bereave
ment, remorseless kodak fiends might
well leave them free to fight their own
inner battles.
The queer thing is that so many re
spectable people will buy newspapers
that sanction such coarse impertiness.
While the average, man deplores in
trusion into his own affairs, he seems
to want the newspaper to intrude into
the affairs of his neighbors.
There is a very large section of the
public that resents scandal, intrusive
gossip, and revolting details of crime.
These people should let severely alone
the newspapers that bribe servants,
listen at key holes and desecrate fun
erals. The majority of newspapers
are made by .men of kindly hearts.
Competition occasionally becomes so
fierce, particularly in metropolitan
daily journalism, as" to dull the sense
of decency - and consideration of pri
vate rights. . . Men who normally would
have generous instincts, lose all sym
pathy in their cynical rush for
"scoops." Don't buy this morbid pro
duct, and it will cease to exist.
SHOOTING UP THE EDITOR.
Formerly the fiction about the neces
sity of having a "fighting editor" was
in many parts of the country no joke.
The common practice, when you did
not like the political views of a news
paperman, was to demonstrate the su
periority of your convictions by lick
ing him with a whip, or still more lo
gically, by perforating him with a re
volver. While these robust manners have
been somewhat decadent of late, a re
minder of the old war days in jour
nalism is furnished at Sulphur, Okla.,
vhere J. Y. Schenck, editor of the Sul-
nhiir TVmnprflt was int and U-t 1 1 (" ) bir
a politician, because he would not "eat" '
his words.
All these methods of conductlnsr Pv
litical argument are going out of fa
vor, even in localities where uncon
ventional manners still prevail. It be
gins to dawn on mcflt politicians that
to win out they must have votes, t
gain votes, they must, in the lon run,
convince the reason et a majority of
the people. Bullets and horewhlr
never convinced brains.
WARM PLACE TO WORK.
They w.ere talking about the wonder
ful sayings of the sons of the Emerald
Isle at a Washington club recently
when Senator Townsend. of Miehlsfiin.
resalled an incident that happened la
Detroit.
Some time ago, the senator aid, a
party named Pat returned to Detroit
after an absence that had extend.l
over several months. One of th first
to meet him was his friend, Mike, who
naturally began to question him as to
where he had been.
"Shure, Moike, an' Oi have been
down in Tixie," answered Pat, "an it's
mesilf thot's moighty glad to be back,
agin."
"Faith, an' is that so?" replied M;k.
with a thoughtful expression. "An
what's the matter wid TexUa?"
"Everything is the matter wld it."
was the prompt response of Fat.
"Down where Oi worruked the t'er-n-ometer
marruked wan hundred an"
sixteen degrays in the shade."
"Bfgorra, an' phat of thot, Pat."
quickly rejoined Mike. "thfy di'in't
make yez worruk in the shade, did
they?" Philadelphia Telegraph.
