CRAZE, "STOVE-POLISH" RIBBON
This ribbon is the newest trimming

which is toile cire; but it is popularly
called In this market stove polish rib
bon. Some firms have adopted terms
for this ribbon, suggesting its suit
ability for auto hat trimmings, since
ih is supposed to be waterproof. At
present, however, It is having its
greatest vogue for the decoration of
the modish all-black street hat.
VARIETY IN TANGO CAPS
The Dry Goods Economist says that
interest in tango caps continues at a
high pitch. Metal effects lined with
flesh-colored silk and trimiped with
fancy metal bands, tassels and orna
ments are liked. Some excellent exam
ples are shown decorated with pearls.
Many shapes are In evidence, prom

cheeks the ravages of the "white
plague" are seen. Her failing strength
| makes is impossible for her to longer
continue her hopeless struggle. For
the short time left her she begs to
be allowed the comfort and support
of her only son. Her letter to the
Secretary of War is as follows:
) "My son, John Morris, enlisted in
| the U. S. Army and is stationed at
I Jefferson Barracks, Mo. He left me
here alone. I am a widow, S3 years
| old. I am almost too old to earn my
i own living. John is under age. He
lis only 19 years old, and was my onlv
support. I have no ct.her children.
He was t ->rn in Austria. I beg you. to
please release him. because I am here
alone. If he soid that he was 21, that
is not so. Please forgive him and
send him back to me."

NEW EM PROMISED
IN STEELTON MILLS
Plant of Milliken Company Is Being
Shipped to the
Borough
That the razing of over a half hun-'
dred houses in the lower West Side
and replacing them with new modern
steel mills means a new era in the in
dustrial history of Steelton, is the opin
ion of men well versed in the steel
making industry.
While the Steelton officers of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company has re
ceived no word to go ahead with the
erection of the new mills and no defi
nite information as to what the exact
character of the new mills will be, has
been given out, it is generally under
stood that the mills to be erected will
enable the Steelton plant to turn out
steel for any kind of a contract, with
the possible exception of armor plate.
Rapid strides have already been
made in the preparation for the erec
tion of the new mills. The plant of the
Milliken Steel Company on Staten
Island, recently purchased by the
Pennsylvania Steel Sompany, is being
dismantled and already a large part of
it has been shipped here.

Wild Birds and Their
Habits Lecture Subject
Prom 1840 to 1890 tnore than twenty
species of American birds became ex
iinct," notable among them the passen
ger pigeon, which was ruthlessly
slaughtered along the whole path of
its migration from South to North. Re
cently $5,000 was offered for a single
specimen, but there are none to be had
except one very old bird in the Zoologi
cal Gardens at Cincinnati. The whole
sale slaughter of our birds that has
been on for years has brought
some species to only a few survivors
within the space of a few years, and in
i many cases to total extinction. "When
I hear of the destruction of a species,"
says former President Koosevelt, "I
feel as if the works of some great
writer had perished."
The destruction of birds is due to our
lack of interest in the part they play
in nature. Witmer Stone, curator of
the Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila
delphia, will tell about our birds in his
talk this evening at the meeting of the
Natural History Society, Technical
High School Auditorium, at 8 o'clock.
The title of the talk will be, "The Nest
Life of Our Wild Birds," and will be Il
lustrated with lantern views. Admission
Is free ,and tickets may be gotten at
the following drug stores: Kitzmiiler's,
Derry street; Keller's, Market and
Fourth street; Cotterell's, North Sixth
street, and Potts', Third and Herr
streets.
Judge Kunkel's Petitions
Circulated by Volunteers
Throughout York County
Petitions for ti.e nomination' of
Judge George Kunkel, for the Supreme
Court job bench, were placed in cir
culation throughout York county to
day.
The committee having in charge the
Kunkel campaign received this news
this morning, with the statement that
the petitions are being taken about by
volunteers who believe that Judge
Kunkel is the only man for the place.
There is strong Kunkel stntiment
throughout the county and some of
the petitions were completely filled be
fore noon.
Judge Kunkel frequently assisted
the district attorney of York county
when the judge was district attorney
of Dauphin county and he has many
friends among the members of the
har and people who learned to ad
mire him as a lawyer during the trial
of important cases. One of his most
memorable efforts there was the con
viction of Paynton, for the murder of
Mrs. Michael Stromlnger, of Lewis
berry. Mr. Kunkel at that time as
sisted District Attorney Bentzel and
the burden of the case rested on him.
