Wc wa s Clothes Only Beautiful as a Faint Expression of the Wearer's Loveliness By Lizette. Shiels HE Reverend Father Sullivan, *he Jesuit, professor of phil osophy at St Louis has a philosophy about modern women aad their dress that is not even skin dee> "They like to be admired," he is quoted as saying, "not for what is in them, but for what is on them." But does not the admira tion all depend on who is in the clothes? It is the woman, lovely woman, that lends beauty to the dress rather than the dress .to the woman. Dress is not the ornament of wom an; it merely indicates ind symbolizes her loveliness, which, the Creator exhibits to men as the most perfect image on earth of heavenly loveliness. . . Clothes may make the man; they do'not make the woman. Every day we may see highly dressed wom?n wT?o?j no inspiration of sartorial genius can make lovely. On the contrary, woman does make the clothes admirable. "When you see a pretty dress on a wax figure you admire the skill of the ar tist, but when you see it on a pretty woman its beauty is increased a thou sandfold. You. admire the dress, you d?llght In its beauty, but you delight chiefly in the woman whpse beauty it clothes. The reverend father tuen is greatly mistaken if he imagines that a woman rejoices because her dress is admired; she rejoices because her own beauty has found a feeble expres&ion and won a faint recognition. I? dare to submit and cheerfully impart these reflections to the learned professor of philosophy in the hope that his young philosophers may learn the true philosophy of woman's. dress, and I leave to more competent hands to deal with the deeper problems of how much woman likes to be admired for what is in her. Frivolous Wives vs. Club Comforts WVVWTWV*' ? By Bert Green FEEL that woman is wholly at fault. She is destined to sit on the shelf as long as she chooses to select a man's position. The woman who continues 1:0 hammer the typewriter and finds herself drifting toward single blessedness will find her blood at the boiling point every time she hears the cry of an infant. Why can't women busy themselves at home, 2 ?? malting the domain of life cheerful and sweet for those on them? What more sacred and beautiful than a woman living in harmony with her nature, caring Xor her "castle," her offspring and her husband? This alone is happiness, and she finds her husband devoted to her, as this manner of living cannot help but draw him closer to her as the years roll by. Nine out of ten men w?u?d rather be a benedict than a bachelor, but they cannot afford to take the chance. All we see ls the young, frivolous, coy, vain and cunning woman who does her best to conceal her true self. I do not mean that arl women are alike, but am speaking of what a business man flees on his way to and from his business. Would a -ian of refinement choose for his wife a flighty,' f rivolous girl, who thinks of nc .hing but dances, theatres, puifs, dress and the craze for style? Not if he is sober. The man of today in large cities does not crave woman's society in matri mony for two reasons: First, the odds are against him. He Is not going to take the chance on marrying a bundle of pads.or an "artificial woman." He wants a sound, common-sense girl of good breeding and character and one that can rear his children in a good maternal way. Secondly, there are many social functions that a man attends, such as clubs, etc., which make him look upon women with indifference. ?er O^f^ ..Our., .v-'fc??fC? Undeveloped Resources By Agnes G Laut T HERE are in the United States 80,800,000 acres of swamp land which can be drained and which will be as arable as a garden when, they are drained. This swamp land would provide homes for and support 10,000,000 people. There are in the United States millions upon millions of arid and semi Hil arid lands which irrigation could make and is making very fertile. These lands will support 15,000,000 households, or -il twice the population of New York state. There are what . may be called the Lost Lands; lands lost to the public through fraud; lands lost to the public through lack of knowledge of how to handle their peculiar formation. Only twenty percent of Uncle Sam's lands are yielding living averages. What of the rest? Conservation says that every acre, every foot of every acre, must be made productive of something. If you can't grow crops, grow trees! If you can't drain swamps, grow cran berries and matting reeds! If you can't irrigate, then practise dry farming! If you can't farm rocks, then harness their cataracts into water power! As to the lands lost to the public through fraud, Conservation says: "Take them back for the public, or charge their full price for the public." N And you are still only at the beginning cf Conservation's big program.

Exploring Mew York By John Walsh I 4 i?H>m{*ff AM a life-long resident of New York city, my parents having ^ i lived down on Market street long before I was born, and * T X ^at *s near**-f &tty years ago. About thirty years ago we % ML * moved to the West Side. + * I had always thought that the conditions in the so called Irish tenement districts wert bad, but lately I made m flrst vIslt t0 ^ E?5t SI(Ie in a number of years, and lt JM-H^H * was an eye opener to me. The conditions which prevail at present In the district from the Brooklyn to the Harlem bridge, east of the Bowery and Third avenue, are the limit. That the three races, Slavs, Jews and Italians, which make up about 90 percent of the population could have been any worse o:? In their native places than they are here is beyond belief. IS any Congress committee wants to study the immigration question at first hand, let the members spend a week In this district and they'will become converts to restricted immigration very quickly. This may sound strange from the son of Irish emigrants, but the largest part of the emigration that we are receiving now is of that kind which is congesting old New York to such a degree that living conditions for the average middle class man are impossible. It ?8 no wonder that thousands of them-are moving away every year, and in years to come New York will be a city of the very rich and the miserable poor. A Sabbath Law.

SERIOUS IN NECARAUGA Revolutionists Win Oyer the National Troops a Decisive Victory. Bluefields, Nicarauga, (By wireless telegraph via Colon)-The tug Blanca which ha* arrived here from Grcy town? brings news of the first impor tant battel of the revolution. General Chamorro's forces fought an engage ment on Friday with 1,000 of Presi dent Zelay's troops at a point below Boca San Carlos, on the San Juan river. The revolutionists won a de cisive victory, one hundred of tho government troops being killed and three hundred wounded. General Chamorro's losses were slight. The insurgents captured two Krupp siege guns and four hundred rifles. This defeat for President Zelaya wi?? doubtless have a determined ef fect upon recruiting for the govern ment service at Managua and is like ly also to bring allitional reinforce ments to the standards of he insur gents. General Chamorro is now ad vancing slowly. The steamer Yulu, belonging to the Emery Company, also has reached here with the details of the capture by the revolutionists of Cape Gracia3 a-Dois. The port was easily taken, not more than five or six men being killed and a small number wounded. This gives the revolutionists control of the entire Atlantic coast. Bank Officials Arrested.

Dallas, Texas, Special.-President Taft arrived here at 5:30 o'clock Sat urday afternoon after a fast run by special train from Houston, where he spent three hours in i he morning. He was taken immediately to the State fair grounds, where he made an open air speech to a throng which filled the big race track grandstand and spread far out in every direction. Mr. Taft was so hoarse that he could be heard only a short distance, despite heroic efforts on his part. He spoke again briefly Saturday night at a banquet tendered him at the Oriental hotel, and retired on his train pre paratory to leaving early Sunday morning for St. Louis. From ' St. Louis, on Monday aferncon, the Pres^ ident began a pilgramage of four days and five nights dowa the Missis sippi river to New Orleans. The President's voicu began to grow husky after his speech at Cor pus Christi Friday and broke down almost completely during-his address at Houston Saturday morning when he tried to make himself heard to a crowd which filled four intersecting streets for two blocks in each direc tion. On account of hoarseness the Pres ident did not attempt to make a long speech, either at the fair grounds or the banquet and confined himself in each instance to an expression of his appreciation of the warmth of his welcome in Texas. He completed, oz arriving here, his eighth day in thc State. "I was asked," said the President at the fair grounds, "if I had an} doubt by this time about Texas be ing a part of the Union. I repli?e that the only doubt I had was wheth er the Union was not a part o Texas." At Terrell, Tex., Sunday mornin< the President spoke to a throng o eager-faced little Sunday school chil dren and delivered a near approacl to his usual Sunday sermon. "I thin! it must have been a month ago whei I was passing through Chicago tha I received a telegram asking me t stop at Terrell," he said. "I cor tinued to receive telegrams from thc time until I reached the Pacific coas I replied that I was going to stop a Terrell if it cost a le?.

"He is a sort of figurehead for t nation for four years," continued t President seriously. "He is a kind of man that th blame everything for, if it goes wro and if it goes right he does not g any credit for it. But, my childn if you permit me to call you such, ; though some of you are far beyo the time when you perhaps ought have that name, that flag represei the sovereignty of your country, ? the reason why you are here t morning to see me is because for f< years I am the Chief Executive oin of the United States and as such that time represent the sovereig of the nation, and am entitled, long as I conduct myself properly your respect as^he head of the nat In four years I will step down i out, and I won't be entitled to y respect any more than any other < zen." , ESSENCE OP THE NEWS. ibus, !t in label e a has oney > an V ex now rk >f war nited The King of Italy offered a eui a prize at the aviation meet Brescia.

Announcing' himself as an enthusias tic advocate of deep waterways, when such projects can be shown tc be prac ticable and necessary, and declaring that the piecemeal " procession by jerks" policy of Congress hi the past with reference to such improvements should be replaced with a definite general plan for opening up great avenues of commerce, President Tait aroused the delegates to the conven tion of the Interstate "Waterways League, in session here, to an enthu siastic demonstration of approval. Continuing, the President said that in addition to extending commerce, deep inland watrways would serve as the best means of controlling rail road rates. In the meantime, how ever, he urged the amendment to the interstate commerce laws to make their provisions more effective. Mr. Taft added, however, that he did not favor radical legislation; that his purpose merely was to keep railroad companies within the boimds of law and down to reasonable rates. He said the railroads should be encour aged. In this connection he took occasion to refer to the fact that in some lo calities there is a disposition to do injustice to the railroads and to drive the corporations to a system of econ omy, which prevents the development NATIONAL CONVENTION EC Columbia, S.

The President said it was often the case that the citizens of a county would go to any extent to get a rail road Jto come into the county but once' there, no? a friend of the railroad could anywhere be found, except per haps the local counsel. The remark called out hearty laughter. The President, turned serious again, however, and urged a "square deal" for the railroads, that they might not. be deprived of reasonable profit? through popular prejudice. The President declared that th? halting sporadic spstem of river and harbor improvements in the past was not due to the army engineers, but was the work of the committees in Congress, who had responded to? clamor from home and to party con siderations. The time has come, he declared, for a change in this system. A nine-foot intercostal canal was one of the projects to which the Presi dent referred as part of a definite sys t?m of waterways improvement. In opening his address the Presi dent made an immediate hit with his: audience by asking that three tiers of seats immediately in front of him he vacated by the early comers to make way for a hundred of more veterans? of the Confederate and Union armies; who had been assigned to a more re mote section of the enclosure.
