HAT FAD AT SMITH COLLEGE Girl Students Have Different Ones For Every Hour of the Day. They cost only 15 cents, and that's the reason why Smith college girls at Northampton, Mass., have been dis porting themselves of late In an end less variety of gorgeous headgear. The hats come" from a factory in . Amherst. They come untrimmed, but that Is a matter of small importance, for Smith college girls are artists at ornamenting hats. Some weeks ago it was noticed that a fad for variegated millinery held the students in its grip. Girls who, as their friends knew, had not been out of Northampton for weeks suddenly appeared in gorgeous new creations. And some of them had as many as ten or a dozen new hats. There was noth ing like them in the Northampton stores. Then it was learned that for two weeks the cars running between Am-, hcrst a;:d Northampton have been daily crowded with students going to buy the fifteen cent hats. It is the f"d at present to nave a hat for every b'ir of the day, and each girl pur chases from a half dozen to two dozen of the straw hats, takes them back to Northampton and decorates them to suit her fancy. ' "I believe that in the last month." said Fred Shepherd, superintendent of the hat factory, recently, "we have : boW no fewer than 1.50!) of these hats. Girls are arriving here at all times of the day in carriages, automobiles and on the cars. 'They go to the big storeroom and fearch through the piles of hats in the bins till they find what they want. One girl only a few days ago spent a whole day picking out hers and went away wiih exactly two dozen. As a rule, however, the purchases range between a half dozen and a dozen and a half." PASSING OF A CARTOONIST. WARSHIP'SNOVELGiFl Tribute to the Memory and Work of Charles Green Bush. There have been more widely known cartoonists than Charles Green Bush, who recently died at Camden, S. C, but there has not iu our generation been one who appealed more to news paper readers of the thinking class. He was a satirist most great cartoon ists are but he reached the reason. His was not simple abuse, and he sel dom lent his art to the attack on a public man or a public subject with out having a tenable ground for doing so. In his time he was the acknowl edged leader of his art, and at his death he was the dean of his profes sion. Most of us can easily recall his bril liant, superbly finished cartoons, which, keenly satirical as they were, always ' clothed their shafts in such graceful line's and excellent reason for humor that even their victims might feel hon ored. There was nothing vulgar about Bush's drawing. ' It was art, and it meant something always. M2n are permitted to put on paper and so called newspapers are permit ted in these days to print many horri ble things which hide under the gen eral name of cartoons.- But may the memory of Bush and of the work which he did long remain- for an in spiration which shall do at least some thing to stem this tide. Fortunately cartoonists of the Bush school and with some degree of his ability are in the majority. His example should long remain to increase the proportion. New Haven Register. PLANS FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL South Carolina to Have Silver Service Picturing State History. Native Trees and Plants Also on Plats to Be Presented by Palmetto State to the New Ail-big-gun Battleship. No, Reference to the Civil War In the Designs. When the battleship South Carolina, which will be the second of American all-big-gun battleships to be completed, goes into commission a few . months hence she will receive 'from the state of South Carolina one of the most elab orate silver services ever presented to an American warship. Governor Ansel of South Carolina, who is chairman of the commission that is to award the contract for the service, has sent out the plans and specifications to pro spective bidders. These plans show that the service will be a complete pictorial history of South Carolina during the .Revolution, while every flower, every plant and every tree that is indigenous to South Carolina will appear on some of the pieces. The service will consist of fifty-three silver pieces and an elaborate metal mounted humidor that can hold 300 cigars, The silver of which the serv ice is to be made must be of -the finest, of uniform fineness . and . standard grade, and the designs submitted by the bidders must be at the state capi tol in Columbia by June 10, when the contract for the manufacture of the service will be awarded. The principal centerpieces are to bear three incidents in the . Revolutionary history of the Palmetto State, happen ings which in two cases many histori ans declare never took place. These are Sergeant Jasper scaling the walls of Fort Moultrie to rescue the flag of the new nation that fell outside the breastworks when the flagstaff was severed by a British bullet, General Francis Marion entertaining the Brit ish officers at a dinner whose only course was baked potatoes served on tree bark and the burning of her home by Mrs. Motte to prevent it from being mad'e use of by the king's soldiers. In addition to these three principal designs there are to be etchings on other pieces of General Marion, Gen eral Moultrie, General Daniel, Morgan, General Pickens. Commander Ingra ham, U. S. N.; the battleship South Carolina and the words "Millions for defense, but not a cent for tribute." Other pieces will show the palmetto tree, the sweet jasmine,' the magno lia tree, the trumpet vine, the straw berry, the long cucumber shaped wa termelons , that only South, Carolina farmers grow, the cotton plant, rice fields and the peach trees of the Pied mont. The circular sent out to the bidders states that the "designs are to consist of a combination nautical in their sug gestion." Each piece must "have a dif ferent design. In none of the designs is there any reference to the civil war, as was the case iu the service presented by the state of Mississippi to the battleship of that name. New York Times. HOME FOR CUBAN LOTTERY. f eatro Nacional to Be Rebuilt to House Island's Gambling Scheme. ' Havana's famous playhouse, the Teai-. tro Nacional, the third largest tbeatei In the world and one of the art-hitr--tural show places of the Cuban capi taL is about to enter upon another DISPUTED EVENTS DEPICTED, chapter in its remarkable history. The ; structure is to be rebuilt and modern ized and will, it is reported, become the headquarters of the national lot tery recently established, by the Cu ban government. The government pur chased the theater for $500,000 and has, in tHrn, resold it to the Centro Gallego de la Habana for $550,000. The beautiful Teatro Nacional stands in the center of Havana's fashionable quarter, facing Parque Central, and foi seventy-five years the jd theater, still in excellent condition, has figured in the many political changes that have marked the history of Cuba since 1334. The theater was built by Francisco Marty, a noted Spanish bandit and leader of a band of robbers who ter rorized Cuba for many years up to the time of the capture of Marty in 1831. Marty was condemned to death. He promised General Tacon, then captain general of Cuba, that if his life were spared he would not only denounce his band, but would rid the island of the pirates that infested it. General Tacon gave the pirate the chance "to make good," and Marty, qualifying,' was per mitted to live. The pirate then asked General Tacon for a concession to build a national theater. This he received and with the money he had accumulated during his piratical career built El Teatro Ta con, named after the general and later renamed the Teatro Nacional. The structure was completed in 1S34. The old pirate managed the theater for many years to his profit. In 1SG7 he sold it for $650,000 and then bought it back for $500,000. When Marty died his son kept up the management, and it was the pirate's son who sold the building to the Cuban government. The theater is built of white stone with decorations of marble in pure Italian style. There are five horseshoe tiers of boxes, rising, one above the other around the pit and separated by gilded latticework of light and grace ful design. The interior decorations are beautiful. On the right of the stage is the principal box, reserved for the republic's president and his fa.m ily.. and next to this is the "judge's box." During each performance a judge is appointed by the manager to witness the performance and act as press agent by writing a criticism. Many of the world's famous artists and actors have appeared on its stage. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Business is Brisk at County Auditor's Office This Week.

Earl Parrot In Motor Car Newest Conceit Among the Very Smart. The' latest fad among automobilists Is to take a live parrot along in the motor ear. This newest conceit made its appearance oii Broadway, in New Y6r;k, the other afternoon. The bird, a big green one ' with scarlet facings, was perched atop the tonneau door of a brown motor cf the roadster type, in which were three fashionably dressed women. They were very attentive to the bird, who with the agility of a tight rope performer side stepped from the door top around to the back of the chauffeur's seat. He pecked playfully at the driver's cap and seemed to be on friendly terms. - According to the arbiters of fashion, the parrot should be "worn" in the tonneau and should be allowed to roam about at will. The possibilities of the innovation are almost limitless. Small traveling menageries may . be looked for In the near future. of- Clanwilliam Says .Germany Will Devastate All England. "War without a moment's notice will be the fate of- England," said the Earl of Clanwilliam, 'an officer in the Brit ish army who served in the South African war. He recently arrived at Winnipeg from England, where he has cjosely studied the situation. "Germany will be the. invading force," he continued, "and that nation will swoop down upon the mother country some Sunday, morning and dev astate and capture everything. There is nothing to prevent this. For several years Germany has been increasing her army and navy to an alarming ex tent, while England, apalt from voting to build battleships, has done nothing to meet her, but, on the 'contrary, has organized a territorial army, doing away with the volunteers,: which has materially decreased the strength of the British army. - "If the present military policy con tinues in ' England, the oldest nation In the world is doomed to sink into oblivion. ; Nothing can save it. Today Germany is far more powerful, 'both on land , and sea, while the United States is rapidly forging to the front. In fact, although the American army is far smaller on paper than the Brit ish, I am of the opinion that it is su perior in point of excellence to the British, which has been living for years on a reputation gained by our ancestors."

'Mexico is fast becoming the great cattle country of the American conti nent, and southern Mexico is the ideal cattle country of Mexico," said G.'B. McDermott of Nacozari, who was in Houston, Tex., recently. "As the farm ers apd sheepmen have forced the cat tlemen of the great . southwest of the United States to move their ranges, they are naturally seeking the most favorable localities, and northern Mex ico seems to appeal more forcibly to them than any other section. Cattle are being moved rapidly into Mexico from the United States, and the cattle men of Mexico are now paying more attention to their herds than formerly, with the result that an excellent qual--ity of' beef is being built up in the re public."

While on guard the other morning at the gate leading from the palace garden at The Hague, Holland, into Molenstraat a sergeant of grenadiers observed the approach of a white per ambulator pushed by a nurse. For five seconds he looked at the approach ing vehicle; then, suddenly realizing that it was the little Princess Juliana, daughter of Queen Wilhelinina, taking her first airing, he came to attention and presented arms, although the prin cess slumbered on unconscious of the honor. In the afternoon the sergeant was told by his colonel to repair ' to the palace iu full uniform, as the prince consort wanted to speak to him. The prince told him that he had seen the salute from the window. He had, no ticed the soldier's moment of hesita tion and subsequent salute and so pre sented him with a banknote -to provide himself with a souvenir of the. first salute to her royal highness Princess Juliana. : v IS OFFERED YOU C17 A TTI 17 DURING ALASKA tJaU I I iJCi YUKON EXPOSITION YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK YOSEMITE VALLEY LAKE TAHOE ALL YOUR EXPENSES PAID IFYOU HAVE FRIENDS IN THE EAST WHO WANT TO VISIT THE PACIFIC COAST WE CAN ARRANGE IT Tennis on a Hotel Roof.
