Gaiters of heavy coarse mesh lace are the latest noveity. The old-fashioned ‘‘goffling’ and rose quilling have ruturned. The newest coats hang very loos@é and fall from the shoulders + Ohallis is to be one of the fashion- able materials for spring. Popular in combination are antique blne and tobacco brown. In the new serges the smarte st colors are dust colors and nayy blue.

Very pretty for the small girl is the dree with a tunic of blue serge and a skirt of black plaid taffeta. Brilliant sashes and girdles of mous-' seline de soie are worn on ‘evening gowns of satin or charmeuse. Odd embroideries, of course work- manship and. crude colorings, are used to trim many of the new cos- tumes. In the new silhcuette the waist is smaller and the hips are make larger by means of draperies. The skiits| are slightly wider. ’ The fashionable blouse of the moment is white mousseline de soie, with a touch of brilliant color intro- duced somewhere. The woman of limited income would be wise to adopt one color for her wardrobe, with variations of tone and treatment.

In another very dirty farm, 97 per cent. of the bacteria were kept out by the covered pail. At the Wisconsin station extended tests showed 20 times more bacteria in milk from an open pail than where a small top pail was used. RATIONS FOR DAIRY CATTLE - r——— Ww ‘More Palatable the Food the Greater Quantity a Cow Will Consume— Water Ils Also Important. The following general facts should be observed in making up the ration for a dairy cow. A cow should be fed all that she will eat and digest well, giving due consideration to the cost, digestibility and composition. of the food fed. The more palatable the food the greater quantity a cow will consume. Variety often increases palatability. A part of the ration should be suc- culent in nature, as such food stimu- lates action in the intestinal tract, which stimulates vigor, thrift and health in fhe animal. Another im- portant part of the food supply is water. Too often this is not given proper consideration. Cleaning Utensils. If any utensil has become sour or tainted, special scalding will be nec- essary to restore it to usefulness. Steam is still more powerful than wa- ter as a destroyer of bacteria, being more penetrating as well as giving more intense heat. fe oa Shuaren ed L LETC HER'S fet = wg & : Cand’ 4 _— HALTS U.S. PROBE CF BENTON CASE Gen. Carranza Bars I[nvesti- ca ors Cut of Chlhuahua CRITISHMUSTTREATWITHHIM The Order Came As a Surprise to the Commissioners—VYilla at Chihuahua Has Repeatedly Expressed His Desire to Hasten the Inquiry. Juarez, Mexico—The Benton inves- tigating committee was prevented from proceeding to Chihuahua to examine the slain Briton’s body by rebel or- ders. Col. Fidel Avila, military com- mander here, declined to permit them to board the regular passenger train which was waiting. Whether the incident means delay or the permanent prohibition of the mission could net be learned. The mystery thrown around the occur- rence led to many rumors of an ap- parently exaggerated nature. No official in Juarez has authority to take such action as was taken in this case. Only two persons in North- ern Mexico have the power—Venus- Hane Carranza and Gen. Francisco Toe order came as a surprise to the commissioners. has repeatedly expressed his desire to hasten the inquiry and his offer of a special train to take the commis- sion from this city to Chihuahua, where. Benton's body is said to be buried, was formally accepted by Marion Letcher, the American consul there. Washington, D. C.—No examination of the body of William S. Benton, the 3ritish subject executed by Gen. Villa at Juarez, will be made by the com- mission composed of American and 3ritish government representatives, | vending the outcome of an exchange >f notes between Gen. Carranza, chief of the Mexiean Constitutionalists and the United States government. Gen. Carranza’s declaration that (3reat Britaim instead of the United jtates should deal with him concern- ng the death of a British subject, soupled with gthe broad intimation hat all communications on interna- ional affairs should first be addressed o him, instead of to Gen. Villa or ny other of his subordinates, inject- 4 a new complication into the situa- ion and the expedition to Chihuahua, rranged to start from El Paso, was yostponed. In some quarters Carranza’s sug- resticn that he should be first ad- ressed was regarded as a bid for armal recognition. The American overnment, however. it was stated n the highest authority, holds that scognition could be extended only, irough formal announcement and ex- )ressed intention rather than through ny casual relationship. New Orleans, Lia.—Great Britain never will recognize the Constitution- ilist party of Mexico even to the ex- ‘ent of requesting that ' Gen. Car- -anza investigate the death of William 3enton, according to Sir Lionel Car- len, British minister to Mexico, who was here on his way to Washington and England. “Great Britain has recognized the Huerta government as the only consti- uted authority in Mexico, then why should my government request Car- ranza for a report on the Killing of Benton?” Sir Lionel asked. Try to Wreck Flyer. Albuquerque, N. M.—An attempt was made to wreck Santa Fe Over- ‘and Limited train No. 1 at Gallup. A switch leading to a work-train siding 12 mile east of the town had been chrown and spiked down. The pas- senger train was half an hour late, and a switchman who was sent out to handle an incoming freight discov- ered the open switch. Beachey Drops 1,600 Feet. Santa Barbara, Cal.—While “looping the loop” here Lincoln Beachey, the aviator, lost control of his biplane and fell 1,600 feet, but managed to right himself 400 feet from the ground, and escaped with slight injuries. His machine crashed into a tree, but was uot much injured. FUSILLADE GREETS FIREMEN State Armory Bombardment Follow- ing Biaze Scatters Crowd. Binghamton, N. Y.—Fire which broke out in the Babcock, Hinds & Underwood’s 4-story hardware store, destroyed that structure and spread rapidly to several other buildings. The state armory, where thousands of rounds of shotgun and rifle ammu- nition were stored, was the next building attacked by the flames.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—Three fires, two breaking out almost simultaneously and the third less than two hours later, wrought a loss Sunday of $175, 000.

The establishments damaged were the Columbia Phonograph Com- pany, Federal street and Duquesne (way; George Wehn Son & Company, 627 Penn avenue; Pearl Nickelodeon, | Rubinstein Wall Paper Company and the British Raincoat Manufacturing Company, 1108 Fifth avenue; Fried- berg & Melbron and B.

C.—The Senate passed the largest appropriation: bill ever to meet the approval of either House of Congress, when it sent to conference the Postoffice measure, carrying $311,492,067, an increase of nearly $840,000 over the b’ll as it was reported by the Postoffice Com- mittee. All efforts to limit the pow- er of the Postmaster General to reg- ulate parcel post rates, zones K or weights were defeated. RAFFLES AMONG OFFICERS : Mysterious Thefts Occur Aboard Bat- tleship—Court of Inquiry Ordered. Boston, Mass.—A genuine scandal in naval circles has developed since the arrival here of the United States battleship New Jersey, and one of the most popular ensigns on that vessel is under suspicion of having commit- ted a series of thefts covering months. The New Jersey came here from Vera Cruz. Prior to the voyage many articles had been lost in the junior officers’ quarters. The missing ar- ticles included $600, the property of an ensign, and numerous rings, stick pins and trinkets of value. The thefts became so frequent and so mystify- ing that an official investigation was made and a report rendered. Devel ppments were awaited and they came in the form of a notice to Captain Kellogg from the Navy Department to the effect that the court of inquiry had been ordered. Turkish Birdmen Killed. Canstantinople, Turkey.—Fethy Bey and Sadik Bey, the young officers of the Turkish military aviation corps were killed while attempting to fly from Constantinople to Alexandria, Egypt.
