What Is believed to be the first cot tage school In this country has been established at the T'tah-street school by Superintendent Francis, In accord ance with a model viewed by him In the course of his European trip. Learning how to make a bed accord ing to Hoyle. to construct a pie with under crust really cooked, or to do nothing one should not do In regard to a properly constituted salad, and to sweep so as not to leave any cunning Utile germs scampering- around looking for a nice warm lung, are among the object of this Ttodel cottage school. This unique school, which Is a neat three-room bungalow, was built by the Board of Education. "Yes." said Miss Emma RJtner. the teacher, as little visitors from the Rus sian quarter of the tenements viewed the sewing machine, "you will learn to make dresses and hats."

SEATTLE, April 22. (Special.) With the rise of the Southwest Washington Development Asso ciation, which has been smiling upon Portland while frowning with a threat ened boycott upon Seattle and King County, there has begun an era of un exampled commercial organization throughout the state. Unity is the watchword of practically all the en terprising communities of Washington. The disposition to pool interests, and to present a solid ' front, whether of fensively or defensively, has never been so marked as at present, and from all directions are appearing the re sults of inteligent. organized effort. Strained relations between Seattle business organizations and the South west Washington Development Asso elation have suddenly reached th breaking point. If affairs were unsat lsfactory at the time of the Centralla convention a few weeks ago, when A boycott was threatened and narrowly averted, they are in a far worse con dltion today. Tha refusal of the executive com mtitee to accept a banquet tendered by the Seattle Commercial Club April 27, when It was expected a hundred prom inent citizens of Southwest Washing ton would be present, indicates that the situation has reached an acute stage, and shows that the development association intends to hold business Interests in this city responsible for the failure of the Pacific highway bill at the recent Legislature. Until within the past few weeks Seattle has lingered behind the pro cession, clearly assuming to be suffi cient unto itself. It has not given to outside points the attention they have demanded.' The business men of this city have complacently watched the Southwest Association, with its 40 or ganizations banded into one, shape af fairs so as to turn trade to Portland, If it should elect to do so.

If Seattle has shown indecision and lax effort- in debatable territory, if has promoted harmony and friendly rela tions In districts exclusively its own One of the latest moves of the Cham ber of Commerce has been to encour age a commercial organization at Bre merton, the site of the Puget Sound Navy-Yard. In response to an Invi tation Issued by W. B. Jessup, of Bre roerton, a delegation from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce visited that city Friday evening and took an active part in a mass meeting designed to put the Bremerton Commercial Club on a working basis. The Seattle business men were head ed by C. V. White and Secretary C. B. YandelL of the Chamber of Com merce, and In the party were several members of the newly-appointed com mittee on progress and prosperity, otherwise known as the "Booster Com mittee." The principal address was de livered by Mr. White. Among the an nounced alms of the Bremerton organ ization are: A policy designed to make It more agreeable for enlisted men to stay in Bremerton; to promote home building, so that employes at the Navy-Yard may rent suitable houses in stead of being obliged o live else where: to promote the "trade-at-home" spirit: to delegate an able man in Washington, D. C. to keep In touch with the Navy Department in all mat ters affecting this naval base. On the same date other Seattle busi ness men. Including a delegation from the Seattle Commercial Club, were In teresting themselves In another ambi tious commercial undertaking. It was the session of the Olympic Peninsula Development Convention, at Port An geles, called by the recently organized commercial club of that city, and having for its object the formation of a central development league, with membership embracing port Angeles. Port Townsend. Irondale, Sequim. Dungeness and other thriving communities on the Straits of Fuca. Among the outside guests invited to the Port Angeles banquet were Gov ernor M. E. Hays, H. C. Nutt. of Ta coma. fourth vice-president and general manager of the Northern Pacific; Pres ident Thomas F. Kane, of the University of Washington. Seattle: R. M. Boyd, of Seattle, representing the Chicago. Mil waukee St Puget Sound: F. W. Chapman, industrial and immigration agent of the Great Northern; C. C. Chapman, of Port land, secretary of the Oregon Develop ment League; F. E. Barnes, secretary of the Southwest Washington Development Association. Centralla: F. C. Brewer, of Tacoma; Walter Rutz, Mayor of Port Townsend. and F. C. Harper, Collector of Customs; D. S. Troy, of Jefferson; George W. O'Brien, editor "Press, Se quim; H. Wingate. of Irondale: Donald Mclnnes, manager Washington State Fair, and T. J. Gorman, Seattle. The Port Angeles Commercial Club has not only become the prime mover in the effort to unify the interests of the entire Olympic Peninsula, but It has raised a fund of SU.OOO with which to carry on its work. The officers are: President, E. E. Seevers; vice-president. G. M. Laurldsen; treasurer. J. P. Chris tensen; secretary, A. J. Cosser; direct ors, E. K. Seevers. S. J. Lutz, R. D. Willson, T. T. Aldwell, J. P. Chrlstensen, J. C. Hansen. G. M. Laurldsen, T. S. Boosters Make First Report. In connection with the enlarged sphere of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce the booster committee has made its first report. It shows that 18 of tho 25 mem- I bers attended the first meeting of the committee on progress and prosperity, at which time the committee completed Its organization. The chamber,, by a rising vote, expressed appreciation of the ac tion of the trustees In having created the committee and given it the opportu nity to advance the interests of Seattle. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is also foremost in a movement to begin work Immediately on the Lake Washing ton canal. It has framed an appeal to President Taft that the Government set aside all technical Federal objections to the commencement of operations and be gin construction without further delay. The communication is signed by Presi dent J. D. Lowman and other officers of the chamber: by Mayor George W. Dill Ing and President Max Wardall, of the City Council. The charge is made that the Ballard mlllmen. who have selfish ends in view, are mainly responsible for technical objections, and the argument is advanced that the appropriation of J2J!50,000 for the construction of locks ought to become available at once. All claims for damages have been waived or satisfied except a. frontage of 146.U00 feet of Lake Washington, which Is a small proportion of the whole frontage, and this alone stands in the way or com menclng work at an early date. SIMPLE DRESS ENJOINED Hish School Girls Told IIls of Gown and Coiffure Are Bad Taste The Lincoln High School girls were called to assembly Friday morning to hear a talk on dress and behavior by Miss McConnell, of the faculty. Ex travagances of dress and conduct were criticised and improvements were sufe- gested. Apparel of fashion such as hobble skirts, dresses with short sleeves or low necks and "rats," switches and puffs were declared to be extremely unbecoming in any high school. Girls who were accustomed to wearing low neck and short sleeves were reminded that they were not to dress for a party when attending recitations. The tube skirt and the hobble skirt were not deemed sensible, and the girls were advised to wear skirts wide enough and long enough in which to walk cui rectly and comfortably. The folly and the bad effects of high heels were ex plained, and shoes with low heels, big enough to be worn comfortably, were recommended. Those who had often come to school with hair dressed ex travagantly were asked to discontinue the practice. Frequent visits to the mirror during 1 AIDA TO BE PICTURED SOON Film for Public Exhibition Released on May 3.
