Formerly when pearls were used they were worn outside the nigb collar, but now a new style is in force, and they are worn next to the neck GIKIS CHEMISE NIGHTDRESS. itself and allowed partly to hang over the front of the collar.

A richly embroidered Chinese kimo no is in lemon colored silk crape.

It was a narrow escape for the boys but wa. are rejoicing that no one was in jured. C. G. Tull is on the sick list. POTATO MARKET FAR FROM ACM Everywhere in the country a very slow tone is showing in the potato trade. Expectations of holders for an improved market have thus far fail ed to materialize. Business passing at country points is of small moment So far as the outside call is concerned, there is practically nothing doing. It is now asserted that the big California boost ers, instead of purchasing supplies are trying to unload their accumula tions. Quite liberal purchases made by Cal ifornia speculators are still retained at Ore eon country points and these are the stocks that the artificial pricemakers are trying to unload. Most of the stock is being freely of fered at from 50c to 60c per cental less than offerers 'paid farmers. The situation in California contin ues so congested that the trade .there sees no hope for any immediate im provement. Best potatoes are nom inally quoted as high as $2.35 in the San Francisco market, but is stated that little stock is moving beyond $2 $2.15, and some is offered for less. r'ontical rroDim. "These political problems are terri ble," said the man who worries about grammar. "What's the trouble?" "One friend of mine after another has opened campaign headquarters.

Criticism of the condition which enabled the church to gain "less than 2 per cent in its membership in the last year," and charges that the church press was being used as "a free forum by the promoters of disaffection" were made in the Bishops' report to the quadrennial general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church today. The report, known as the "Episco pal Address," was signed by 18 Bish ops in this and six Bishops in foreign countries and is regarded as the most important document to come before the conference, as it contains the Bishops' recommendation for the fu ture guidance and policy of the church. The report was read by Bishop Earl Cranstan, of Washington, D. C. An other section upon which the Bish ops have been at work since last gen eral conference at Baltimore four years ago, will be delivered tomorrow. tne cnurcn nas maue a net gain ui but 55,000, which is less than 2 per cent, as the outcome of the year's activities and the outlay of many mil lions of dollars.

This was a reference to the propos ed limiting of the activities of the Bishops to a local district Their jur isdiction now is universal. Some of the reasons for the meager growth as set forth, were laid to a too strict' application of the law of the church demanding that all members who re move from a given commuity without their church letters be dropped from membership after one year. "A fair calculation," the report said "reveals the astounding fact that prob ably not less than 500,000 members disappeared from our rolls by reck less use of the 'dropping' process. "Nevertheless we still face the pat ent fact that our distinctive doctrines are not being emphasized as they were once, or, where preached, are discredited for the time by a gain saying world, drunk with vain phil osophies and filled with gluttonous indulgences." Pleading for an emphasis on the distinctive Wesleyan doctrines, the report said they were the only power to save the nation against vice. .
