HATS TO BE AS BIG AS EVER LADIES' HEADGEAR WILL CON TINUE TO DEVOUR SPACE THIS YEAR AS IN TIMES PAST—LEG- HORNS ARE POPULAR. Big hats are to be the popular thing again this year—popular for the women, anyway. This does not mean that they are to be ordinarily big hats, either; but hats even big ger, if possible, than those worn in the year just passed. The only con solation offered is that an effort is to be made to turn up the brims in such a way that the people on the outskirts of the hats will forget just how big they are. "Dressy and midsummer millin ery," says the Milliner, "is to be large, larger even than the shapes which have been seen in former sea sons, but they are made with such graceful brims, which are always turned in some effective way, that the largeness of the shapes is forgot ten." Express Companies Wise. "That hats will be as large as ever and larger, say the New York fash ion notes, "is what we may expect for the new season. 'Brims up' also sems to be the dictum of the fashion makers in Paris." The express companies, after years of observation, are getting wise to the possibilities of the hat trade. In the good old days, when they made charges according to weight, the mil liner laughed in her sleeve as the companies carried at low express rates great packages of flimsy hat stuff. Thero are no such laughs now, however, for at about the middle of last season the companies instituted a system of charges according to size and a square foot of hat now comes in on its own merits as a square foot without any misleading considera tions concerning weight. Tragedy About Hate. There is some tragedy even about hats. For long, long years, dragging on into lifetimes, certain old women have sat day after day weaving a fine braid of straw called the Leg horn. Older and older have the weaver grown as their busy fingers braided yard after yard of straw. Now and then a pair of hands will stop, and the weaver will be laid FOLK DANCES TAUGHT IN NEW YORK'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ECPYRISHT W UWCTWOOP I UMPEWWOOO Among the latest Ideas in the public schools of New York Is instruction In the folk dances of the nations. The little girls take great delight in this branch of their school work. Our picture shows two lassies, who may or may not be descendants of Scotia's sons and daughters, dancing the highland fling. away and the hands crossed never to weave again. And then another pair stops and another and another, and no one takes up their work. "Milliners must look for quite a sharp advance in the price of Leg horns," says the Milliner, "as this braid is everywhere growing scarcer and some houses feel that in the course of time Leghorn braid-making wil become one of the lost arts, ow ing to the unwillingness of the youn ger generation of braidmakers to spend their time upon these braids, when there is more money in making the rougher braids. The older wom en who have made the Leghorn braids are dying off and the younger women are not willing to take their places and this is given as the reason for the scarcity of this material. Leghorns Are in Favor. "Leghorns, hemps and Milans claim first place as favorites, although a few coarse straws are seen and quite a number of fancy braids in the con struction of the hand-made hats . "The extraordinary favor which is shown Leghorns for the coming year is one of the interesting features of the millinery situation at the pres ent time. There is not a wholesale or retail house that does not regard this braid with the most pronounced favor for summer millinery and the majority of houses are giving a large representation to those hats even at this early date. This is indeed an unusual situation, as Leghorns are usually brought out later when the summer millinery is more in de mand. Stores Will Be Crowded. "The first glimpse of the new hats for 1910 indicates that turbans will be a strong feature of small hats for spring." Those persons who want large hats, however, will find plenty of them even among the turbans." Millinery stores will, probably be crowded this season on account of the early date of Easter, March 27. DEAD WIPE IN ARMS TO AID. Husband of Four Months Carries Body Through Snow. Grangeville, Idaho, March 3.—, 1 Alone with his bride of four months at their home in the snowbound mountain fastnesses on Twenty Mile creek, 60 miles northeast of here, when death claimed her more than a week ago, and compelled to carry her dead body in his arms through the most severe storm of the winter to the home of his nearest neighbor, three mlies away, after hours of struggling through snow waist deep, la the experience related by Fred Gil more. He arrived in Grangeville I with his wife's remains, which will !be shipped tomorrow to Olympia. I Jbocked in a snowbound cabin miles from help, with a dying wife whose | only chance lay in immediate medi j (al assistance, and yet unable to leave her to summon aid, he was then com j pelled to fight the storm for hours | through the drifts, carrying her body. Even when friends were reached his troubles were not ended, for he was compelled to remain there three ; days until the storm abated before jhe could resume his journey. By | this time Mrs. Gilmore's body had frozen stiff and friends volunteered 'to carry it to Mount Idaho on a lit* i ter. Because of the deep snow this I was found impossible. Several sacks jof hay were lashed to a horse's back I and on this the litter containing the : body was placed and brought out af j ter five days' travel, during which | the men in the party accompanying ; Mr. Gilmore took turns breaking the ; trail for the horse carrying the dead , woman.

EXPOSURE FOR CANNIBAL. Bellingham Normal Head Says Negro is Impostor. Spokane, March 3. —Daniel John Hery Allan Charles Swackhanner, ex cannibal, educator, and at present a member of the ball and chain gang on the city rockpile, was farther ex posed Saturday by the visit of Prin cipal Matthews of the Bellingham normal school. Mr. Matthews announced that four years ago Swackhanner was given permission to attend the normal school and that since that time he has been going over the country ask ing that money be sent to the normal school to defray the expenses of his penmanship course. At various times Swackhanner in his travels on lecturing tours has written to the school asking that money be forwarded to him. At the present time all the money that is received is being returned with the announcement that Swackhanner is an imposter. OVER PRODUCTION UNLIKELY Oregon Horticulturist Presents Fig ures on Country's Ap ple Crop. That there is no danger of over production of the apple crop of the United States for several years to come is the opinion of W. M. William son, secretary of the Oregon state board of horticulture. Mr. Williamson says that while the population of the United States is in creasing at the rate of 2,000,000 a year, the tendency for several years will be for the apple crop of that part of the country east of the Rocky mountains to decrease, and that the people in the cities and on the farms are eating more apples than former ly and are cultivating a taste for ap ples of the best quality. Continuing, .Mr. Williamson declares: '"If the number of trees planted in' the United States were in proportion o the crop there would be an enor mous increase in the production, but the fact is that only 26,000,000 bar rels were produced from 1894 to 1900, while from 1889 to 1894, 47,- --000,000 barrels were produced.
