Interned Sinn Feiners Try to Foil the Cameraman
Woman Turns Down Husband
Who Deserted Her.
Prefers Work in Department Store to
Life of Ease With Father of
Her Children.
Chicago. Mrs. Margaret Reeves,
mother of 11 children, can leave her
work in a loop department store and
have servants and a thousand other
things she has craved if she wants
them.
blie rtoesn t want to. She's decided
to keep plugging along at her gro
cery counter until she dies.
The reason for Mrs. Keeves' choice
is that if site leaves her job for the
ranch she will he compelled to live
with her husband, James Reeves, who
deserted her eight years ago.
Her children were small then, and
Mr. and Mrs. Reeves were having a
hard time of it, but Mrs. Reeves al
ways managed, some way, somehow,
until her husband slid out with every
cent in the huuse $100 and a few
cents. Thereafter, Mrs. Reeves continued
to manage, but not so well. She went
to work. The children those who
were old enough worked, too. Then
one by one they died, until only four
were left.
A week ago Reeves experienced a
change of heart and wired Chief of
Detectives Hughes that out in Poca
tello, Idaho, where he had gone, he
had been lucky. He said he had a
ranch, ajl paid for, a lot of money
and two kittens for the twins.
By the time Mrs. Reeves gets
around to write her husband he will
know the twins are dead. And she'll
tell him her love died with the twins
and with the other five children who
are gone.
nut site will add, on second thought,
that they are still in poverty, although
happy without him, and some of the
money he has been bragging about
can be used.

TO WASH DELICATE FA3RICS
Soapbark, Starch Water or Bran Wa
ter Advised, by Government Home
Economics Specialists.
When the action of soap is likely to
injure a delicate color, use soapbark,
starch water, or bran water, udvis
home economics specialists of Ihe
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Soapbark, although not a soap, w hen
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare it for use, boil for ten min
utes a cup of the bark with 1 quart
of water; then cool and strain the
liquid. The "soapy" water may be
used full strength for the sponging, or
diluted for washing; half of this
amount is enough for tub of water.
Since the liquid is brownish, it should
be used only on dark colored goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made hy adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water in
which rice has' been boiled, if it is not
discolored, may be used instead. If it
is not desirable to have the material
starched slightly, it must be rinsed
In salt water.
Bran water, mnde in the same way
as soapbark solution, is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. It does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water.

St. Louis. Charles W. de Largy, a
real estate dealer, appeared in police
court to answer to a charge of speed

Mix, but the judge whispered hack
at him in a stagy voice: "iv!0 and

A policeman had testified that De
Largy was going 30 miles an hour.
Then De Largy leaned forward and
whispered something which Judge Mix
could not understand. The judge's re
peated requests that De Largy tidk
louder had no effect, and finally the
Judge asserted "there would be no
whispering In his court" and assessed
the fine.
De Largy explained later that he
did not like to hurt the feelings of
the policeman by contradicting him.

PLUSH USED INSTEAD OF FUR
Material Affords Most Unusual Effects
in Trimming for Suits,
Dresses, Skirts.
In trimmings we have as great a
latitude as in materials. I'lush-llke
fabrics are profusely used in lieu of
fur. Most unusual are the effects ob
tained by the application of huge plush
flowers to suits and dresses. They may
cover an entire suit skirt and reappear
on the jacket at the hips, collar ar-!
cuffs. Enormous puffs of plush are
used to form large collars as well as
to edge the bottoms of coats.
In contrast to these heavy trimmings
are the airy French flower girdles that
young girls are wearing on their party
frocks. They are seen on silver or
delicately tinted ribbons, ami the most
exquisite color effects are obtained
ihrougli their use. The flowers may
be strewn along the edge of a rlhhoii
girdle which Is little more than a
thready of color. Small, dainty flowers
such n's moss rose buds and margue
rites are chosen fitf these girdles. The
silver ribbons with picot edges in color
make attractive girdles of this sort.
The color of the edge is brought out
again In the flowers seuttered over
the ribbon.
KNOW MONEY BY PICTURES
William Girth, an Inventor of
New York city, suffered par
tial loss of memory in 1912, af
ter placing $2fi,000 In a savings
bank. He had since lived in
destitute circumstances until
Ralph Kutz, an employee of the
bank, located Girth. He asked
the inventor if he was In need
of money, and received the re
ply : "My God, yes ; I am near
ly starving."

How Those Who Handle Many Bills
Find It Comparatively Easy to
Tell Bad Ones.
It Is a comparatively easy matter
to become an expert in the quick han
dling of money and also to detect bills
that have been raised, according to
those who have tried. A large pro
portion of the bills now In circulation
are federal reserve notes. Those In
common use have Identification char
acteristics, In addition to the numer
als, easy to memorize.
Cashiers who handle large and small
bills rapidly usually memorize the por
trait on the bills, which are large
enough to be unmistakable as the ma
jor mark of identification, with the
numerals as the minor aid. The two
combined are well-nigh Infallible, save
In the case of clever counterfeits.
As the raising of bills Is accomplish
ed with the numerals, familiarity wltb
the portraits, and comparison, will ver
ify the proper denomination of the
hills. The portraits on the federal
reserve bills In everyday use are as
follows :
One-dollar notes, portrait of George
Washington.
Tw o-dollar notes, portrait of Thomas
Jefferson.
Five-dollar notes, portrait of Abra
ham Lincoln.
Ten-dollar notes, portrait of Andrew
Jackson.
Twenty-dollar notes, portrait of Gro- (
ver Cleveland.
Fifty-dollar notes, portrait of C. S.
Grant.
Hundred dollar notes, portrait of
Benjamin Franklin.
Establishment of Central Markets for
Perishable Food Products and
Creation of Licensing System
Urged by Board.
Washington. Establishment of cen
tral markets for perishable food prod
ucts in all large cities and the setting
up of a federal licensing system ap
plicable to all dealers in such foods
at those markets are proposed hy the
federal trade commission in its annual
report to congress.
The commission's conclusions are
based on an investigation covering
many months, and it declares that fed
eral action is necessary to obtain ef
fective regulation and to avoid un
fair and wasteful practices with the
consequent effect on prices.
In the present system the commis
sion sees as a hindrance to the proper
passage of perishables from the pro
ducer to the consumer certain inter
trade dealings which it believes should
be eliminated, and it suggests that the
handling of these products be sur
rounded by numerous regulations and
restrictions such as the recording of
available supplies and the dating of
cold-storage periods and provisions
for auction marketing.
Would Eliminate Hoarding.
Facilities should be made adequate,
the commission says, to enable the
producer to ship freely into the cen
tral markets nnd "with proper pro
tection of his interests." The mar
keting system should be so covered
that objectionable hoarding would be
eliminated and proper co-ordination
of transportation facilities should be
accomplished to make deliveries cer
tain when required.
The commission says that "the
needed reforms can hardly be expect
ed to be accomplished by the initia
tive of the dealers," and asserts that
state and municipal authorities lack
adequate power to effectively regulate
the handling of (he food supplies.
Big Jump in Flour Profits.
Turning to wheat products, the com
mission says It has found that con
centration of the milling industry has
progressed far enough so that "prob
ably ten of the largest milling con
cerns could supply the demand of the
country for flour." The commission
mentions incidentally that its figures
from .''.7 milling corporations showed
that their sales had Increased from
S1OO.0O0.0O0 to .?:!.-.4,000,000 between
1!'14 and 1!1S, while their annual
profits had grown from $.",ri00,000 to
$20,000,000 In the same period.
Iteporting on .the operation of the
Webb-I'omerene act, permitting for
mation of associations for export
trade, the commission informs con
gress that this act has served as "a
decided factor" in promoting the
progress of American manufacturers
In foreign markets. The commission
says that during the year 4.'i associa
tions, comprising approximately 732
concerns, whose offices and plants
were distributed over 4., states, re
ported to It as operating under the
export art.
Tire commission says also that the
law. Instead of Increasing the strength
of the already great American Indus
trial establishments, has enabled the
smaller concerns to band together in
n fashion to push fully organized ex
port trade in a keenly competitive
manner, which they are not able to
do at home. To this extent, the com
mlsKlon believes, the law has worked
to the great advantage of the small
firms.

of the Itussell Sage foundation have
been here to make an investigation of
the flood of marriages and divorces in
Clarke county. More than H,(XK) per
sons were married in tins county in
the last year, though the county has
a population of but .'10,000. Out of a
