The Ktou Jacket gives every Indi

outside garment for autumn, as It was
for spring. The jaunty May Manton
model Illustrated Is simple of construc
tion, and has the merit of becoming
open or closed at a touch. As shown,
It Is of mixed gray cheviot, and makes
part of a general utility gown, but the
design Is equally well suited to black
and tan cloth that can bo worn with
any skirt, and to pique, duck and thu
like. The fronts are titled with single
darts. The back Is seamless, the snug
effect being gained by underarin
gores. The collar and revers are self
faced. Ilulshed with rover tailor stitch
ing. The sleeves are two seamed, and
lit: snugly, will; Just enough fulness
at Mie shoulders to prevent overtlglit
ness. They nre stitched to simulate
cull's at the wrists. The closing Is ac
complished with a single hut ton and
buttonhole. When woru open the
fronts are thrown back, as shown in
the sketch. The model Is lined
throughout, with white satin, and can
be worn with the daintiest while waist
without danger of soiling it, but any
color preferred can be substituted.

pace for Hie remainder of the rural
counties of the Stale. Its achieve

(iillcd for favorable comment In these
columns, but n new departure in
method at New York Mills, an Impor
tant suburb of I'tlca, claims attention
ns calculated to Inspire not envy, but
emulation, elsewhere.
This method Is the apparently sim
ple one of employment of county pris
oners. The advantages appear to be
varied, with economy as the most con
spicuous. The good roads law pro
files that the State shall bear fifty
per cent, of the to,al cost, the county
thirty-live per cent., und the property
owners along the lin of Improvement
fifteen per cent. The employment of
the prisoners therefore reduces the
cost very materially, since board and
lodging Is their only remuneration.
The district pays the county twenty
live cents per day per prisoner, anil
the local taxpayers are askeil to pay
their road tax in cash, instead of work
lug it out, ns many do the money
being turned Into the highway fund.
Th iinty. of course, pays the guards
live of these being used for tin' forty
prisoners employed at New York Mills
nnd the party Is housed In camp near
the scene of labor.
This system represents In Oneida the
tlrst use of Slate money In the employ
ment of prison labor. It does not con
flict with labor unions, and the return
to the community In good roads Is
manifestly substantial. The direct ad
vantage to the county. In the matter
of economy, must be material should
the system be adopted generally, nnd
the Indirect beiielit not only lo the
community, but to the state. In provid

Is not to be denied.

Is not the only fact that makes the
good roads plunk in the platform of the
various parties signillcaiit. There Is a
far greater social Importance attach
tug to the appearance of such an Issue
in a national platform than the wheel
men themselves dream of. One of the
great causes of that relative as well as
absolute increase in the urban part of
the population of the country shown In
every recent census Is the prevailingly
bad condition of the country roads,
especially lnwlnter and spring. Farm
values are materially affected by the
condition of adjacent roads, ami much
of the sense of Isolation and loneliness
that Increases the lunacy totals In ru
ral counties is due to the dltllcultles of
local travel for half the year. Much
III health, loo, is traceable to the fact
that after winter's storms, when winds
have so dried off the Holds Just over
the fence that walking across lots Is
tolerable, the roads, by constant use
mid the dragging of mud, remain mlry
sotirces of atmospheric moisture for
days together, ami continual tctnpta
lions to the youths of earnest tempera
ments to seek life in the cities and

This Is not merely a material Issue.
It does not concern merely the pleas

I'ostmaster-Ceneral Heath says that
the construction of good roads has
been a prerequisite of the establish

this condition will continue inilctinlle

NAVAJO INDIAN HOMES
A Kudu nnd I'rlmllWn Now n Tlicjf
Ilnvn llern For Onturlm.
In New Mexico and Arizona the
Navajo Indians, who have been but
liltle affected by the inarch of civil
ization, have homes which show nil
chnnircd the Mens of hundreds of
years ago. Kittle nnd primitive ns the
houses of the Navajoes hognus, they
call them -are, every detail Is dictated
by rules strictly adhered to. The erec
tion of one Is real ceremonial, followed
by an elaborate ritual of dedication.
Thousands of examples of these
queer Navajo houses are to be found
in the Navajo reservation and hun
dreds more are built every ,vcsh The
hognus are hidden away s-i effectual
ly that travelers unacccstoined to the
country might go for days and not see
more lliaii n ihi:',eu und get the im
pression that Mie country Is practical
ly uninhabited, yet the tribe numbers
VJ.ikhi.
The site the Navajo prefers for his
Ionic Is either a sheltered nook
In a mesa or a southern slope on the
edge of n grove of piuoii or cedar.
Seldom Is a house built dose to n
spring or other water. It Is probable
that this custom of half-concealed
habitation is a survival from (lie time
when the Navajoes lived by plunder
and momentarily expected reprisals
ft mil their victims. When the site
is selected the family moves to the
place. taking all their possessions
Willi them, including the Hocks of
sheep and goats nnd herds of horses
and cattle. The hosteen. as the head
of the family Is called, drives the
ponies and cattle; he carries his arms,
for the coyotes may be troublesome
at night, two or three blankets and a
buckskin on his saddle, but nothing
more. After him comes a llock of
sheep mid gnats, bleating and nibbling
at the bushes nnd grass as they slow
ly trot along, urged by the dust-be-grimed
squaw- nnd her children.
Search Is made for suitable trees.
Three of them must terminate in
spreading forks, but the other two,
which are intended for the door frame,
are chosen for their straight ness. The
limbers are laid on the ground with
their forked ends together, somewhat
lu the form of the letter T, extreme
care being taken t have the butt of
one log point exactly to the north,
another to the south, and the third
to the west. The straight timbers
are then laid down, with the small
ends close to the forks of the north
and south timbers, and their butt ends
pointing due cast.
When the tsadl. or frame of live
limbers. Is completed the sides of the
structure are tilled in with smaller
poles and branches of trees, set as
closely as possible on the ground, and
laced anil bound together. At the
Mime time, oilier workers construct
Hie door frame, which, In appearance,
is like a dormer window. Two straight
poles, wllh forked tops, are driven
into Hie ground til the base of and
close Inside of the doorway timbers,
a cross stick is placed lu the forks
and another on the door way timbers,
at the same level. This provides the
basis for a tint roof, the space between
II and the apex of the hogan on the
sloping side being left open for a
smoke hide. The sides of the project
ing doorway are lllled lu with up
right sticks. The entire structure Is
next covered with cedar bark, ami
earth is then thrown on to a thick
ness of about six Inches, making the
hut perfectly wind ami water proof.
This completes the house Scicntillc

Til these history making days In the

so when Mrs. M , who had resided

made some observations upon their
characteristics at a luncheon recently

"You know," she said, ' that no In
sult can be greater to a Japanese than
to call him 11 Chinaman. .My brother
has a Japanese valet, an invaluable
servant, by the way, anil he came in
the other day with a black eye and

licit he had been taken for a China
man by some neighboring men and re
sentcd It with persuasive violence.
" 'Dcy knows me Jap now,' he re
marked with a sallslled grin.
"In Hie estimation of the Japanese,
their similarity may be compared to
common clay and to Hue porcelain
Mongolian both, undoubtedly, but the
Japanese so superior that It Is radi
cally another composition altogether,
and yet, oddly enough, there are cer
tain qualities about the Chinese that
their more aristocratic neighbors ap
preciate and make use of qualities,
loo, of a particularly high order hon
esty, accuracy and a faithful adher
ence to n promise uiake them Invalua

niticaul fact that positions of trust at

A few years ago nboiit llfty families
of West Virginia mountaineers, tired
of struggling for n livelihood on the
hills of their native State, began to
look nboiit for n better place where
they could belter their condition. Ity
some means their attention was di
rected to eastern Oregon, nnd. rising
like n flock of migratory birds, they
flew West and settled down on these
fertile hills.
The head of cadi lamlly took up liht
ncres of land, under the homestead
law, nnd at once began to clear nway
the forest nnd open a farm. So de
lighted were the settlers with their
new location Hint they named it "The
Promise! I.tind." nnd the settlement Is
known by that name all over the
State.
Clearing nway ami disposing of the
heavy timber was no easy task. Ureal
trees, many of them more than loo
feet high ami from two to three feet
In diameter, were cut down, sawed
into lengths that could lc moved,
rolled together and burned, Just to
get rid of them. It seemed like wan
ton destruction to burn these mngnill
cent trees, but there wns no other
wny, nud the monarch of the forest
had to go. The newcomers cut logs
and built for themselves cabins more
or less pretentious, according to their
menus. lOach one helped the other,
and these "home raisings' served the
double purpose of making homes nud
promoting sociability.

A certain liveryman lu Detroit who
is slow to take up modern Improve

telephone, which only recently became
a part of his establishment. H- Is
so awkward in communicating with
people telcphoiilcally that he never an
swers the ring or "calls up" unless ab
solute necessity so requires. This
necessity came the other day, when
there was no "one in the ollice but
himself, doing to the telephone, he
rang up a grain und hay dealer ami

"Bring- ilowu some hay."
"Who Is It for'.'" Inquired the dealer.
"What's that';" was the nervous re

"Why," was the curt answer. "It's

suppose I cat hay, did you?"
Tlie hay did not come that day.

Kvhlently he considered that such a

lie n direct Incitement to perjury.
The way in which he got out of the
dilllculty was ingenious, although de
cidedly irregular. He asked her her
age before she had been sworn.
"How old tire you. madam?" he
said.

JEWISH DIVORCE
jrn.itiil Arcord'nu to !! nablitntcal
tjiw nf Inn Talmud
A scene !a real Ufa recalling In soma
ros;nvta the farm.ni3 dlvorrement de
picted by L-rad Zangwll! la his 'Chil
dren of thfl Ghetto," vaa enacted In
IJaltlnmre when Mrs. I.c.!a G. Wolf
was granted a divorce nrcordlliK to
raiihinicdl law from hor husband,
Mauii;.e Wolf, says the Baltimore
Sun.
The trial took place at CiJ West
L-.rnbard street, the residence of Bev.
Dr. S, Shaffer, rabbi of the Green street
synagogue. A suit for divorce between
the couple la now ponding In th civil
courts of that city. The old Talmudlc
law, however, requires those persons
who have been married according to
the orthodox Hebrew ritual to be di
vorced also by the religious law. For
this reason Mrs. Wolf Insisted on se
curing the religious divorce.
Hud Mrs. Wolf neglected to get the
religious divorce she could not be re
married by an orthodox rabbi, even If
the divorce had lsen granted In the
civil courts. The judges were assured
that the action In the civil courts
would result in Mrs, Wolf being
granted n divorce. Mr. Wolf was much
affected by the proceedings, and, be
fore the trial was concluded, was so
overcome that he fainted.
Ten persons are required to he pres
ent at the trial for a religious divorce.
Throe of them serve aa Judges. The
.lutigns at the trial were Kev. Dr. Shaf
fr. Rabbi H. liearman and Mr. K
Strauss. The. law requires also that
the writing of the divorcement he In
ancient Hebraic characters. As Mr.
Wolf was unable to perform the task
a skilled Hebrew writer, Mr. Isaac
Colin, wrote Mm decree. Ono of the
remaining persons served as a substl-
ttite for the husband In delivering the
writing of divorcement from him to
his wife.
Two of the witnesses were required
to sign the decree, and the three re
maining p-rsons served as witnesses.
The Judges diil not hear the evidence
In the case In detail, hut confined
themselves to accepting the general
statement made by the wife, who said
she had found it Impossible to live
with her husband. The husband as
sented to the granting of the decree.
After considering the cuse the judges
decided to Riant the divorce. If a civil
decree is alao granted both will be per
mitted lo marry again. The trial
la.sted about two hours.
