The per of railroad traveling is much less than the timid realiz onal railroad horror sur- ha the public mind with fear, nd some people decline to take the ance of being killed as a passenger which is one to every three million arried, while the regular death rate is e to 65 the nation over In 1911, the railroads of this coun- y carried almost a billion passengers. This was equivalent to a ride for two- thirds of the people in the entire world. The average distance traveled was 32 miles, he number of deaths due to bad accidents was about 10,000, but only 336 of the victims were passengers, including about 60 train boys, mail clerks, etc. More than half the number killed were trespassers wnd tramps. More than 3,000 were rail- road employes. This last fact tells a im and sad story. While careless- s is responsible for many accldents road men - i not gua t ought to be, it is true that their ded as carefully as A NEW DEPARTURI The new York, New Haven & Hart- foard railroad has built several pas- senger stations of terra cotta. This is a distinct departure in railroad sta- tion construction. Among the places where the company has used the new materiai cre Cedar Hill, Rowayton, Terryville, in Connecticut; and West Barnstable, Foxboro and North Scit- uate in Massachusetts, The terra cotta in these stations is in the form of Lollow blocks, laid in the wails like ordinary brick.. They make a thoroughly solid and abso- lutely safe suucture, having under- gone severe fire and strength tests in the process of manufacture. In addition to making the stations fireproctf, they also give “the stations the advaniage, over frame or brick buildings, of being warmer in winter and cogler in summer. This is due to the hollow spaces, called “dead air” spaces, wioich make the blocks non- conductors of heat. The ohject in building the new-style statfous is not only #@prevent destruc- tion or damage by fire; it means pos- itive economy, in the long run, be- cause of the saving in. repairs and maintenance and insurance premiums, TO PROTECT THE BIRDS. Through the efforts of the American me Protective and Propagation as- jation, 4 Learifig on the Weeks bill federal protection of migratory secured for March 6 G for birds has been before the house committee on agri- culture at Washington, D. C. Although the matter of federal pro- tection of migrants has been agituted for years, it has never before been given a hearing, and it is extremely important thet all those interested in the measure should take advantage of this opportunity and go to Washing- ton to urge the passage of the bill. Since many states refuse, or are unable to protect the birds during the breeding season, the only way they can be saved from extermination is for the national goverment to step in.

Women are slow to learn that the wisest economy often means an outlay of money that may seem reckless squandering. Be consistent in your economy. Don't try to save on the necessities of life. To do so is false economy. But practice your econo- mies on those things you de not ac- tually need—the luxuries of life. The babies of Iowa are to be entered at the state fair as a part of the products of the state, along with pigs, cattle and corn, and will be scored for physical perfection in a contest for $280 in cash prizes. All babjes will come under two entry class The first class will include all babies be- tween the ages of 1 and 2 and the sec- ond class will include all babies be- tween the ages of 2 and 3 years. A woman who is needed at home, yet has quite a little time of her own, makes quite a good living by planning women'’s and children’'s clothes. She also plans refreshments and entertain- ment for social affairs, furnishing or arranging rooms. She takes a number of magazines and studies them for new She charges by the hour and gets all the work she can do, for many like to have someone help them plan. The woman whe desires to dress well on a small income—and it can be done —must learn first of all never to have too many clothes on hand at once. Let her buy the things, wear them out and then buy others. It is better to have one well fitting tailor made suit, keep it rigorously pressed and in order, wear it until it shows signs of wear, and then replace it, than it is to have several inferior suits. Jilting is evidently not the fashion in Austria, for maids and men do not break engagements there. The first breach of promise case, therefore, at- tracted wide attention. It was brought by Frauleln Helen con Sussmandl, the well known opera singer, against Baron von Frankenstein, A marriage was arranged between them. The banns were published, the date of the wedding fixed, when suddenly the bar- on declared the engagement at an end. Fraulein von Sussmandl brought an action of breach of promise, claiming 30,000 kronen damages., Before judg- ment was given an arrangement was come to, the opera singer recelving 13,000 kronen as consolation. FOR THE BRIDE. Every bride, no matter how small her means, feels that on her wedding day her dress must be of white. Mo- tives of economy sometimes persuade a girl to give up her desire, but this is not at all necessary She will need a white dress later on, if it is only a summer mus! Cream voile or cashmere are always useful for afternoons and Sundays and will clean again and again. The most practical of evening gowns is evolved from a dress of white woolback satin, with detachable lace yoke and under- sleeves. en if the bride decides that the lor‘s! veil is an extravagance, she need not be married in a hat. Wear a pretty little lace cap, one of the kind that are so popular this season There are two serviceable styles of traveling costumes, either of which the bride may choose for her travels, ac- cording to the weather, the length of the journey and whether it is by land or water. | One of the ever useful coats and skirts of tweed or thick serge, with a pretty silk blouse, and sef of furs which is sure to be among the list of presents. DICTATES OF FASHION. Fichus continue to be fashionable. Tulle, either plain or fringed, is the favorite material for making these pretty, cloudlike trimmings. They are used frequently to trim negligees of crepe de chine or soft satin. The newest corsets preserve or mold the natural figure lines—the low un- confined bust, the curveless waist with the diaphragm slightly full, the per- fect curveless and slender hip line, All of the new corsets are more flexible than ever. There is an effort being made to revive the old-fashioned sandal, bound around the ankle with ribbon, in the manner approved of in 1820, but as few women care to do without heels they are to be seen altered almost out of recognition with long, pointed toes and Louis heels. Rather a change from the usual or- der of things is a fichu of velvet, cut with care to avoid a heavy appearance, over a form of pale ninon, the color- ing being straw and heliotrope, An- other fichu is of extremely heavy old Venetian point, tinted a grayish shade, over aluminum tissue, with silvered fringe to finish it. Hats for the evening are large, and while some have quite a flare at the sides others are twisted and bent in such a manner that although they fit well down upon the head, they are rolled in the front to show the hair. Because of the twists and turns of the brim, they give an impression of being smaller than they really are. With the thick coats of pure white ratine or fox cloth, made without' col- lars and fastened with a double row of huge mother of pearl buttons, noth- ing could be more attractive than the little limp hat of white felt or the ultrafashionable velours, which has no trimming but a white silk cord and two coils of the same in front catching back the brim against the crown. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Sour milk left on the face and hands to dry is an acid that whitens the skin. If the wash leaves a sour odor on the remove with vinegar, hot water d 'then a good face cream. The use of perfumes is always per- missible, providing one uses a good quality and just enough to be notice- able. it then gives a dainty finishing touch to the feminine toilet. A good recipe for making violet wa- is as follows: Fssence of violet, four ounces; essenca of cassis, one and one-half ounc ssence of rose, one and one-half ounces; deodorized alco- hol, two pints. Salt in some cases will stop the hair from falling out and promote the growth. Shake the sait all through the hair with a_salt shaker and allow to remain on for five minutes. Do not rub the hair, but gently brush the salt out. It s cleansing and will give luster to the hair. 5 No kitchen outfit is complete without a bottle of carronoil This is no new Per Order ALLEN C.

The preparation is sometimes found under other names, but can easily be made at home by mixing equal parts of raw linseed oil and llma water. An emer- cy bouln ghould always be at hand n case of danger from too close con- tact with steam or heat of any kind. Housekeepers in country districts, where medical aid is difficult to obtain, will find this recipe invaluable. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Baby’s bonnet and cape strings get soiled very quickly, and a Jot of time and annoyance may be saved by sew- ing small hooks on the end of all the strings and making cotton loops on the bonnets and cape. Breakfast sets of doilies are made after the manner of Chinese embroid- ery, with three shade§ of blue or three shades of purple. embroidered in bands, the darkest shade being used for the buttonhole edge. These doilies are particularly appropriate for break- fast sets and may be carried out in colors matching the china used for the breakfast table. For making a dusting cap, cut out a circular piece of cambric, a vard in diameter, of any color preferred: this| allows for a hem above which should be a casing for the tape or - elastic drawstring. Sew down the hem and make the casing with machine sitch ing, then stitch with colored silk, us- ing any fancy stitch. Edge with tape and run in the elastic or tape. Colbert embroidery is cut work and differs from Richelieu embroidery in that it has a few laec stitches in the flowers or pattern, while the Richelieu embroidery is composed entirely of the buttonholing. The foundation stitch is as in all cut work, the buttonhole.

It is made of the| smallest black particles, studded close- ly together, and at fi glance looks like cut steel. It sparkles brightly with curious shades of green and red,and effectively used on white or black velvet. It is a paste and makes a beautiful effective trimming, especially under artificial light. A Good [dea. To make little daughters heipful one mother originated the following plan: Each morning she would write upon a blackboard a list of twenty or more dutles for the dishes, sweeping, Asting, making beds, etc. A quarter of these were little things that even the 5 year old boy could do, like bringing in kindling or giving the hens water, Each girl in turn selected one duty, placing her ini- tials after it. As soon as a duly was completed it was = erased from the board. At first the mest difficult work fell to “mother,” but soon even the hard tasks were being selected by the daughters, until they tll became pro- ficient in most of the necessary branches of homemaking. The plan not only helped the mother and taught the daughters, but also served to prevent constant nagging which makes life miserable in many homes, DICTATES OF FASHION.

Vew taffeta evening gowns for spring —some among the first of definite fash- ions for spring—have skirts with little plaitings or scalloped ruffies in con- trasting colors; little puffy sleeves ti end in scallops, fichus or creamy shad- ow lace, and petticoats of striped silk with different bodice. SOME HANDBAGS The pattern of her handbag is a de- tail of her equipment which no well dressed woman will neglect nowadays. Quite a novel idea as to the method of carrying one's shopping or visiting bag ie with a comparatively short cord and tassels attached to a tortoise shell hoop, intended to be slipped over the arm. The bag itself is a black ante- lope, set in plaits into the silver gilt mount, and expands connveniently for shopping. Of altogether delightful pattern is tnother bag in fine seal moroceo, olive, navy blue or black, measuring eleven inches by seven, and containing a set of natty fittings in silver gilt. In the center is a kid lined compartment for money, Visiting bags of black velvet or wa- tered silks in variants ‘of the favorite envelope shape with flexible rims and X';ng shoulder cords are well represent- ed. Very attractive is the miniature car- riage or mgtor bag, some five and a quarter inches long, in morocco of all kinds of dainty colors—pale pink and gray, and containing card case, mirror, sites in silver.

LETTERS T0 THE EDITOR Presidential Timber. Mr. Editor; Uncle Sam was never short of presidential timber, and once had a famous rail-splitter. Old-time democracy had an Old Hickory, and modern democracy has a Woodrow; but there's quite a differ- ence in quality between that Old Hick- ory and the Woodrow of New Jersey. And there’s a fellow big enough round at the trunk to be an old hick- ory and sufficiently imposing in per- onality to put all presmential sap- ings into the shade. Teddy picked out the hickory-like fellow for the White House premises when Pinchot was chief of forestry. Teddy helped set out the tree and wa- tered it, but now it doesn’t need any of his assistance; for Billy Taft is as sound as a perfect hickory nut, or a policeman’s billy, and contains just the sort of timber needful for the ship of state, Let strenuous Teddy keep on the Outlook.
