"Oil yes, when I met Mr. Taft he told me he was well qualified to be my running mate," she said. "Wasn't It nice of lilm to make the otrer?" This Chicago trip was quite exciting for Mr. Taft. The beauty editor of a newspaper conducting n reducing contest for plump men insisted upon Inter viewing him. No Wonder He Was With Funston Representative' Kdwnrd C. Little of Kansas, was with Funston In the Philippines lieutenant colonel of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers. Well, he should -be u good American, if an cestry counts for anything. It came out In the tercentenary of the Pil grim's that he is a descendant of John Alden of the Mayflower. His grandfather's great-grandfather, John nthan Taylor, fought at Loutsbtirg and Bunker Hill. Another ancestor, Col. Moses Little, won promotion at Hunker Hill. In the course of his remarks Col onel Little said in part: John Alden, about the twelfth di rect descendant from John nnd Priscll la, Is a-student in the high school of Knnsas City, Kans., now, nnd we ex pect to have him at the celebration. "A curious illustration of the growth and development of America' nnd of tho fnct that it has been a haven of llherty for those from all the world, Is that fact that while this boy Is u mred Ucscenuunt nf this historic Pilgrim father, his mother is the daughter of Russian parents, her father huv ing led a great colony of Russians who settled in central Knnsas.

Cottrell for director of the bureau of mines, department of the Interior, hns been sent to the senate by Presi dent Wilson, to take the place of Dr. Van II. Manning, resigned. Dr. Cottrell, chemist, metallur gist and Inventor, was bom In Oak land, Cal., January 10, 1877. After extensive college studies here und abroad, he was appointed assistant professorjn physical chemistry at the University of California. Here ho en gaged In researches relating to the electrical precipitation of fumes nnd line particles suspended in the gases of smelter, blast furnace and cemeiU works flues. He evolved the Cottrell process. Today the Cottrell process of fume anil dust removal Is In world wide use, and' Is recovering valuable materials heretofore wasted. Dr. Cot trell turned over his extensive patent rights to n non-dividend paying cor poration, tho Research corporation ; all of scientific research. In 1011 Dr. Cottrell was appointed chief physlcnl chemlot In the bureau of mines. In 10U he was appointed chief chemist; In 1010 chief metallurgist, and In 1010 assistant director. It is chiefly through Dr. Cottrell's efforts that a plant for recovering heli um (n rare non-Inllammnble gas) from natural gas on n large scale for military aeronautics hns been erected near Petrollu, Texas. He was awarded the Perkln medal by tho New York section of the society, of chemical industry in 1010 in recognition of his work on electrical preclplta-" tlon.

FOR SUMMER WEAR THU first suits launched for spring Included simple severely-tailored models with a fair representation, others, more numerous, In which conts wero cut on usual suit lines, but more or less elaborated with decorations. of various kinds, and still others in which conts were abbreviated to JackJ ets. Resides these there 'were somo fanciful and elnbonite models out of the class of utility suits to which any' of (he others belonged. Now tbnt these several styles have been tested out, we find tho models cut on usual suit lines, but not belonging to the severely tnllored class, have outsold both the plainer nnd the more elabo rate styles. These conservatively cut and moderately trimmed suits prove to bo tho favorites for all-around wenr. Two very Sine models of the suit for general wear are pictured above. One of them,, has a plain skirt with lapped seams, cut wide enough for Hats to Grace ALL the affairs of summer are graced by the most beautiful mil linery that the year cnljs out since the gldry of the passing season Is re flected In bend wear, It could not be otherwise. June sees the cllmnx of picturesque, colorful, flower-trimmed and transparent huts that add a beauty to its graduations nnd weddings and to nil the guyetics that follow, t"o the end of summer. ' In July nnd August similar hats come in, made In all white or pale colors ; usually they Join their more splendid sisters and arc worn for sports and outings. Their career is brief and Joyous; In ll.eni we bid fnrewell to summer, for they vanish with the first hint of cold weather. , One of these exquisite, alf-whlte hats appears among other summed lints In the group above. It hns a crown of white brocaded silk and a brim of white taffeta, encircled by a fringed sash of taffetn. Worn with a fiock of white georgette pr organdie It makes n 'costume dainty enough to rival the roses in the hands of Its wearer. , A beautiful hat for tho heart of summer Is shown made of satin braid In blue with a sash of brown satin ribbon about Its crown and a half wreath of grasses, grapes, roses and their foliage about It. The wide brim Is softened nt tho edge with n fold of iirowu mnllnes. Such a hat has much charm to lend its wearer. We might expect an appreciative girl to pick out for herself the sport hat shown, made of taffeta silk In green nndfaced with white braid. It has a border narrow ribbon and a sash of it, tied comfort In walking. A handsome vest, of trlcolette, Is embroidered with (lowers nnd adorned with, a band of velvet ribbon across the top and It Is set In the coat which docs not close at tin' front. Lapels nt ench side extend not quite to the bottom of the vest, and from tho lino downward, thero are bound button holes In tliem. Rind ing finishes the edges of the silt pock ets In the skirt of tho coat, at each side. Tho straight coat sleeves are un usual and attractive. They are ended by cuffs formed by. stitching bauds of the clotli to n trlcolette foundation. A very narrow belt extends twice about the waist. The cont In 'the second suit has a narrow shawl collar nnd fastens with a single button nt the waistline. It Is embroidered In silk In a band thaf extends from shoulder to hem nnd spreads across the pockets. The nar rowest girdles tlo at the front nnd Its long ends are finished with silk bnlls.

Wooden SportB Hats. As remarkable as tho glazed hat of Captain Cuttle of Domhey and Son fame are the wooden sports hats of this summer. Wood flber, not unllko shavings In appearance and as light In weight as any straw, Is made into sports huts of all shapes nnd sizes.
