Feminine "calves" unprotected by stockings are. no longer to be seen along the beach, Stockinglesa maids went under the . ban by order of Dr. John T. Beckwith. chief of the beach patrol, acting under direct orders from William Bartlett i director of the department of public ' safety. Shapely damsels, not content with abbreviated bathing garments, started a bare leg fad some weeks ago. Since . then there has been a general mors by athletic girls to follow suit. Direc tor Bartlett was shocked when he sighted several fine specimens drift ing about the strand today and the. ukase followed. Now the girls are protesting that the men should be treated likewise. MRS. BELMONT IS MARKETER Society Woman Does This as a Pro test Against Petty Graft , of Employees. ' Newport, R. I. Mrs. O. H. P. Bet mont is doing her own marketing this summer as a protest against a' sys- tern of petty graft, which she says has become well-nigh universal in the households of the wealthy summer colonists here. "This system of graft, by which em ployees profit at the expense of em ployers, is all wrong," says Mrs. Bel mont. "We pay our aids good wages, for which they are expected to do a certain service. It is certainly unfair for them to expect to make a large sum of money on commissions that are bound to come out' of the pockets of their employers." Smugglers of opium in their efforts ' to circumvent the custom , authorities at American .ports have been using mail bags as carriers of the contra band drug.' Discovery of this method taken 1 by the smugglers was made some time ago, but has been kept secret-while an investigation was un der, way. - WE APPRECIATE THIS , House of Representatives U. S., Washington, D. C, Aug. 7, 1912. Mr. Will Maupin, Lincoln, Nebr: My Dear Will: I have just read your article on Collier's boost of Colorado. It is the cleverest and best thing I have read in a long time. I have just been reading your paper for a month now as they failed to forward it to me from Fremont until recently. I have planned to write you whenever I read one of the issues of the Weekly to tell you of my appreciation of the effective manner in which you are constantly boosting good, old Nebraska. I was also delighted with the plank in the democratic platform pledging our members in the legislature to support a publicity appropriation. I think that is one of the best planks in the platform, and I hope that the next legislature will appropriate a liberal sum for advertising the resources of Nebraska, and that the next governor, whoever he may be, will have the good sense to put the biggest and best booster in charge of this fund. The work of Congress is about over now and we are going to start home within the next ten days, at least we are hoping to. With best wishes to you, I am, Your friend, . DAN V.

J 4 Seventh and P Streets THINGS WE ABE PROUD OF. Nebraska has more things to be proud of than any other state. She ought to be making every one of them known to all the world. Nebraska is remiss in her duty to herself when she fails to advertise her resources and possibilities to the remotest corners of the earth. Nebraska has some mighty big things, thank you. She has the largest creamery plant in the world. Her largest city, Omaha, is the greatest butter market in the world.. , ' ,i She has the third largest packing center in the world. She has the second largest smelter in the world. She is the third largest corn producer. She is the third largest dairying state, and promises to be the largest inside of ten years. ' ' Her annual egg output is worth more than the gold output of any state or territory. Her annual butter, egg and poultry output is worth more than the gold and silver output of any two states or territories. Her annual output of corn and wheat is. worth more than the nation's annual output of crude petroleum. Her annual output of grains and grasses is worth more than the coal output of Pennsylvania. Her annual corn output is worth more than the nation's annual output of copper. ' Our state is rich in natural resources not yet developed, a condition due to the lack of public knowledge of such wealth. We therefore, favor a liberal appropriation by the legislature for the purpose of giving publicity to the state s resources. From the Nebraska Democratic Platform! You simply can not head 'em off, these Nebraska girls and boys. There is Miss Juliet Points of Omaha, who is just now honoring this great state of ours. Miss Points captured the foreign scholar ship prize offered by the American Federation of "Woman's Clubs, and she is now over in London and attracting the favorable atten tion of Great Britain's best scholars and thinkers. Just now Miss Points is urging the establishment of foreign scholarships for women similar to those established by Cecil Rhoades for men, and the indi cations are that she is going to succeed. You can always depend upon Nebraska's sons and daughters doing her credit when they are away from home and while they are at home. Religious Articles Made in . Bethlehem ' - :..-'(.. WASHINGTON. The chief industry today of the town of Bethlehem In Palestine is the manufacture of ar ticles of religious devotion and orna ments from mother-of-pearl, according to the report of the American consul there. The methods and tools used are mostly quite primitive In charac ter, as are also the buildings in which the workmen carry on their trade. The principal products are , carved shells on which religious scenes are depicted, beads and rosaries. The ma terial known as "pearl waste," from which the ' two latter products are made, is very largely imported from the United States, and the American market also is the largest purchaser of these goods. The large carved shells are sold mostly to tourists In Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and since the demand for them is not so good as for beads and a higher grade of workmanship is required to produce them, this side of the Industry is los ing ground to the manufacture of beads. A bead workman's outfit Is primi tive, consisting of flies, borers and a simple wooden device for holding the Irregularly shaped pieces of pearl waste. This last Is made of a short. -round piece of wood sawed In half lengthwise, fastened together at on end and encircled by a loose iron ring. The piece of pearl shell is placed be tween the loose wooden ends and the ring is hammered toward It until the grip is tight. The workman then files the part of shell which extends to the ; desired diameter; It Is reversed In the holder, and finally a rounded piece of perhaps one to three inches in length is secured.' When a number of these pieces have been prepared they are . cut to bead size, a hole Is bored, In ' each bead and it Is rounded to the de- '. sired shape. Then to give the beads a tmooth surface they are placed la special crockery vessels with a little water and are kept In motion In these vessels, rubbing against the sides and each other until they are smoothed, but not polished. . To give them a gloss and been, they are finally placed In boiling wa ter, to which a weak solution of nitric or muriatic add is added, and when removed from this they are passed through a succession of cooling wa ters. There are three usual shapes those flat on two sides, round and: oval. - These beads are strung on cords, silk or wire, and always on the latter In the case of rosaries. For these last also crosses and hearts are mad of mother-of-pearl, with a small metal figure attached to the cross. Silver crosses and hearts are used to slight extent. How Statesman Was Rendered Hatlecs We favor the creation of an immigration agent and pub licity bureau, to the end that our vast areas of tillable land in the western part of the state may be brought to the atten tion of the landless people elsewhere. From the platform of the progressive Republicans of Nebraska. A BIG STEEL CONTRACT. "Made in Lincoln" will be the sign upon the steel work of the new high school building and the two new grade school buildings soon to be erected in Lincoln. John Westover, Inc., secured the structural steel contracts for all three buildings. This is the biggest steel contract ever let in Lincoln, and the fact that it was secured by a Lmcoln concern is an evidence both of Lincoln's growth and of the growing importance of the Westover establishment. Lincoln and the sJompany are both to be congratulated. ONE of those unfortunate cases of mistaken identity between hats occurred a few days ago in the house cloak room. "Billy" Kent, the reform member from California, who wears the orneriest looking hat In Washing ton, walked oft with a dome-covering that belonged to Ira Copley of Illinois; While the Copley hat was In Kent's possession an accident befell it, and Copley declares that he wouldn't wear it to a masquerade. He and Kent were classmates at Yale, and he felt free to tell him that he thought he should be reimbursed for the ruined hat. Kent and Copley each own sev eral dray loads of money, but it was the principle of the thing. "It isn't the first time that you have rendered me more or less hat less," said Copley. "I remember one time some 25 years ago that you threw a snowball at me, when I was passing along on the opposite side of the street, attending strictly to my own affairs, as was my wont And my brand new derby hat looked like a before-taking portrait. Now, once again you compel me to go to the hat store and squander my savings or else join the hatless brigade and be thought eccentric or poetical." "Ah, yes," replied Kent, "I, too, re call that snowball Incident. And that is why I shall not pay so much as one cent toward a new hat for you. Not one cent shall I pay." And he snapped1 his fingers defiantly. "I knocked, off your hat, 'tis true. Whereupon I bought you a new hat. Ton mean while had bought one and charged It 1 to me. And furthermore,, your has wasn't ruined after all, as you had It repaired and wore it long after newer styles labeled 'Nobby' were being ex hibited in the windows. I figure that I have had a hat to my credit on your books for these many years, and t shall, buy you no more hats, not even if you're obliged to . go about the streets without so much as a halo ta protect you from our erratic climate.' It is not considered cruelty to aa mats to swat the. fly.
