Chance to Carry on
WASHINGTON. liaising bamboo
for tho market is a new industry
that the department of agriculture
has succeeded In launching. Tho re
port of tho flourishing condition of
tho bamboo plantation has como from
Florida to David Falrchlld, chief of
the bureau of foreign plant Introduc
tion. Tho establishment of tho crop
is the result of more than four years'
hard work. Tho department also has
found a way of Bhlpplng tho bamboo
bo that tho young plants will grow,
nnd this has been tho hardest part of
tho problem.
Raising bamboo commercially has
been a flourishing Industry in Japan
for years. It was felt for a long time
that It was a business that ought to
do well here, becauso it furnishes a
quick growing timber that Is suscep
tible of a number of special uses.

Sent His Glass Eye to the Laundry
A LITTLE white light on tho tele
phone switchboard In a local hotel
tho other day gleamed brightly for a
moment. Then it began to wink rap
idly, as if the person at tho other end
of the wlro was Jangling the tele
phono hook In great perturbation.
"Operator," called tho young wo
man at tho board.
"Send mo up a bellboy. Quick!
Hurry! I've lost something!" ex
claimed an agitated voice.
"O-oh, what Is it, burglars? Shall
I send a houso detective?"
"No, Just a bellboy. Hurry up."
A bellboy was dispatched posthaste
and found D. A. Malcolm of Uutte,
Mont., greatly excited.
"I left a valuable artlclo wrapped
in a white handkerchief on my table,"
bo exclaimed, "and it must have been
taken away In the laundry. It is very
valuable. Find it for me. Here's a
dollar. Hurry up!"
The bellboy, with Inward mutterlngs
at the carelessness of guests who
leave diamond necklaces or gold cuff
links wrapped up In handkerchiefs,
hastened to tho package room.
"Did you see a Httlo bundle wrapped
up iiVa handkerchfef?" ho gasped to
the head porter.
"Saw a handkerchief all wadded up.
It's Just gono to tho marking room.
What's tho matter? What was in it?"
But tho boy had fled.

"Whenever the organizers of a fili

Two Races Compared in Mathematics
THE relative mathematical abilities
of boys and girls and of tho whlto
race as compared with tho black aro
among the subjects taken up by tho
United States bureau of education.
"It seems to bo tho general opinion
that tho average boy shows moro abil
ity In mathematics than tho averago
girl, but also that ho does not work so
faithfully," said tho bureau. "In a
mixed class this greater ability of the
boy nnd tho greater faithfulness of
tho girl react most advantageously
on each other.
"Another fact that Is noted Is this:
In elementary algebra tho girl does as
good work as tho boy; in geometry
not nearly bo good. In advanced al
gebra and trigonometry, the boy sIiowb

girl. Yet, wa aro freo to confess that
bis greater natural ability is often
outclassed by the steady, patient en

there aro other uses for It. Tho wood

hero, It Is thought that tho hard, na

One of tho Important uses of the
wood that has been found abroad Is

Following tho lad to tho marking
room, tho porter was Just in tlrao to
hear:
"Yes, I sent it into tho sorting
room," and to see. tho bellhop, now
thoroughly aroused with tho spirit of
the chase, disappear Into tho sorting
room.
This tlmo tho porter was near
enough to hear tho boy informed
that the Httlo wadded up handker
chief containing tho mysterious but
"very valuable" something had
beaten him to tho laundry tub by
about four Jumps.
Ho hastened thither and, seeing tho
boy frantically pawing over tho soiled
linen, watched him until the youth til
umphantly pulled forth the object of
the search.
"Give us a look," cried tho porter.
"What was you so crazy about?"
Without replying tho breathless
bellhop gingerly pulled tho handker
chief open and disclosed Mr. Mai

of theso seances, a gigantic represen
tative from Texas, Buck Kllgoro by
name, growing hungry and thirsty,
too, no doubt, concluded that ho would
bo better off at homo and, forgetting
tho locked doors, started to execute
that idea. It chanced that ho sat
near tho only partition that separated
tho speaker's lobby, and that was a
flimsy door of grqen baize, and
though tho faithful minion of the J
houso had locked It, tho Tcxm, with
ono mighty kick of his right foot, en
cased In a No. 12 cowhide boot, burst
the slight affair as easily as though
it had been of paper and out he
marched to the steps that led to free
dom. "Tho Incident was duly chronicled
and Kllgoro awoko to find himself
temporarily famous. Tho sublime
nervo ho manifested set tho whole
country to laughing. The thing turned
out very happily to tho kicker in a
way that ho had never Imagined.
From every part of tho Union enter
prising manufacturers sent him hoots

In investigating tho relative mathe

examiner was sent to eleven well
known negro schools and colleges in
the south.
"Five of tho schools feel that thero
is no dlfforenco duo to race. Two aro
of the opinion that negro students
generally aro not tho equals of whlto

mako any comparison. Threo did not

worn by the model. Tho Jacket is worn over a gown of changeablo silk. It
is for seashore wear and worn without a hat.

gy
Natty blue cashmero Is used for
this costume; tho Magyar bodlco and
sltlrt aro cut together, and fasten at
bach; tho square neclt Is filled in with
a yoke of piece lace. A fold of mate
rial is put down left side to represent

lr.ches wide, yard laco 18 Inches
wide, 1 dozen buttons.
Glass Buttons.
Glass buttons aro quite tho fashion,
and come in all colors and sizes; they
aro a distinctive mark of this season's
suit wherever Been. Red nnd black
ones are shown In two sizes; theiO
havo tho appearance of bone; others
rehcmble clouded amber beads, nnd

PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR
This Season's Linen Suits Are Made
With None or Very Little
Trimming.
Whllo tho coarser linens nro used,
those mado of tho finer twisted thread
are liked qulto as well. Very Httlo
trimming Is needed. Tho luco collar
and cuffs or tho llngerlo frill at nock
and wrists sulllco, though, of course,
buttons and buttonholes, laco and cm-
broidery may flguro as trimmings.
Oddity of cut Is, however, tho only
. tho only
thing necessary for thoso who wish
something different. It Is surely dif
ferent enough to havo tho back of tho
coat and skirt cut across on tho bias
or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such
manipulations offer no difficulties to
tho laundress. Theso suits may bo
made coat and skirt fashion or In tho
cont nnd dress effect. Both styles
havo their good points, many consid
ering tho former tho most economical,
slnco a fresh blouso may bo donned
as often as tho wearer pleases. And
sleeves and necks do havo a way of
becoming soiled before it 1b necessary
to send tho cntlro dress to tho laun
dry. Many dresses nro being mado, too,
In linen and kindred weaves. Tho se
verity of theso all-In-ono gowns 1b be
ginning to disappear. Whllo tho puffs
seen on taffotas arc not avallablo thero
aro pipings, Inlnylngs nnd bands In
contrasting fabrics.
Fancy linens and linens with open
work borders aro effectively utilized,
though ono who is at nil clever at de
signing will bo able to achlovo very
fine suits with tho plnln sorts. It's
the design, cut and finish that counts,
also tho accessories. Ono girl, for ex
ample, Is to look smart In her whlto
linens this summer: tho only color
, 8no jB to al( B Sapphlro or coral, as
tho spirit may move her. Whether alio
chooses tho blue or tho odd pink
shade she will wear It In tho shapo of
silk stockings, ribbon watch fob and
nerktle, and no other color will ap
pear except she chooses to carry a
parasol In tho color she Is wearing.
Wired Feathers for Hats.
Aa the hats aro all trimmed very
high wired feathers arranged to bow
on hats may bo purchased, and flow
ers also In pompon effects. Ono of
theso fenther tower effects costs $4.G0;
others nro near tho ono dollar margin;
the price varies according to tho qual
ity and kind or feathers. Aigrettes aro
aro Btill In evidence, though moro In
whlto than black. In buying whlto
OHtrlch feathers of tho less expeiiBlvo
grade It la well to run one's hand
gently down tho length of tho quill,
pressing bnck tho feather to aee that
it has been properly dyed, as theso
nro apt to show the blown of tho nat
ural feather In tho outdoor light and
the breeze.
For the Summer Resort.
Tho very thin negligees nro so de
lightful that ono sometimes forgets
they mny not bo practical, for many
summor resorts aro cool at night and
in tho early hours of tho day, and for
theso places It Ib bettor to tako some
thing of heavier weight, Biich ub an
albastrosn negllgeo. Theso may bo had
with a deep collar of dotted Swiss,
made with Valeclonnes iuocrtion crvl
edging and in pastel colors. Tho
sleeves aro finished with a doop cuff of
dotted Swiss and laco.
THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT
Of the Trio, Probably Rcpreientatlvo
Redfleld Had the Best Occa
sion to Smile.
Tho talk In ono of tho cloak rooms
of congress turned to tho thought of
tho happiest moments in ono'a life.
Senator Bailey tald his camo tho day
ho voro his first pair of trousers. And
Paul Howland of Ohio declared his
big moment of Joy was whon ho was
permitted onco to drlvo a chariot In
n pony and dog show parade.
Representative Redfleld, who la n
wise chap, oven If ho does hnll from
Brooklyn, said It was when ho was
going to school nnd trying to mastor
long division. Threo or four aisles
over from whoro ho sat a boy yawned
It was not nn ordinary yawn, but ono
of such gcnulno expression of feeling
toward things In genoral that it at
tracted Redllold's attention. Ho was
fortunato In having a paper wad right
at hand, ready for any emergency,
and ho aimed this at tho boy's caver
nous mouth. Tho wad went right
Bquitro Into tho goal and well, Fourth
of July fireworks nro tamo to tho
stunts that boy did In tho next fow
minutes.
Ho says ho almost smiled onco on
ship board when tho vessel gavo n
lurch and threw a platter full of
beefsteak, gravy and all, over tho
open-faced shirt front of a pompous
passenger across the table.
