The use of the Raglan sleeve hai
been in favor for some time past for
dress waists and even for Jackets, now
It is arriving in the more intimate gar-
ments for woman's wear. The dress-
ing sacque has a very plain front and
back, with practically no fullness. The
neck is cut a little low in front and
the edges are finished with a pretty
shaped collar. The balance of the
closing is accomplished by means of
buttons and buttonholes. The sleeve
Is the genuine Raglan type, the upper
side extending in a tongue to the col-
lar, the lower edge finished with a
small turnback cuff. This garment may
be made up in silk, crepe, sateen,
lawn, organdie, and in many other cot-
ton materials, and trimmed with silk
or satin.
The pattern (4861) is cut in sizes 32
to 44 inchfs bust measure. Medium
size requires 2% yards of 36 inch ma-
terial.
To procure this pattern send 10 centa
to "Pattern Department." of this paper.
Write name and address plainly, and be
sure to give size and number of pattern.

CHILD'S ROMPERS.
n
4857
Rompers have become an Institution
and they will never be displaced. They
are an ideal garment for the little girl
or boy who is permitted to play in-
doors and out as freely as all healthy
children should. The style illustrated
has a scam down the center of the
front, and this continues as two seams
on the inside of the legs, becoming one
again a few inches below the waist
line in the back, whire there is a belt
and where the opening of the garment
also comes for the trousers portion.
The opening for the blouse section is
at the left side of the front from the
shoulder. The neck finish may be
either high, with a standing collar, or
square, as preferred, and the sleeves
may be made long or short at will.
The pattern (4867) is cut in sizes 2
to 8 years. Medium size requires 2yx
yards of 36 inch material.
To procure this pattern sond 10 cents

It is believed that the largest em-
ployer in the world of the bicycle is
the British postmaster general. lie
has in his department at presont 11,-
400 of them, about one half of which
are used by the rural delivery car*
riers. Each bicycle averages 10,000
miles of travel a year, making more
than 110,000,000 miles in the aggregate
or 17,000,000 miles further than the
distance from the earth to the sun.
The life of the post office bicycle
averages four and a half years, and
that of a tire about nine months. Ex-
cept for improvements in brakes,
change speed gears and other details,
the design of the bicycle has re-
mained unaltered for ten years.—

Not Enthusiastic Over Reyes
Mexico City.—"Down with Reyes!
Viva Madero." Such was the iirst
greeting extended to General Bernar-
do eyes when he arrived in the
capital. A few thousand residents
were at the station, but the Maderists
were the first to make known their
presence. General Reyes was not for-
mally received with the honors to
which an officer of his rank is entitled.
His reception was such as any civilian
might receive.
SIXTY-THREE PERSONS
MEET DEATH IN QUAKE I
Gets Water Supply 250 Miles Distant
LOS ANGELES. Six years ago the
people of Los Angeles voted an is
sue of $24,000,000 in bonds to pay for
what they consider the finest supply of
water furnished to any city in the
world. The first issue of bonds was
made in 1907 and the last will be made
this year The aqueduct, which is 250
miles long, will bring a sufficient
amount of water to supply a city of
2,000,000 inhabitants across the coun-
try from Owens lake, which has an
area of 75 square miles, at an eleva-
tion of 3,812 feet in a group of 23
peaks, each of these more than 13,500
feet high.
The first 20 miles of the aqueduct Is
open earth canal which follows tfie
canyon of Owens river. The next 39
miles is an open concrete conduit, laid
upon the mountain sides, which follows
their contour like a mountain road.
For 28 miles the conduit rests in
ditches carved from the rocky walls,
and for an equal distance Is sustained
by artificial causeways of rocks. It
next passes 150 miles through the Mo-
jave desert, on the edge of Death val
ley, the most desolate and forbidding
spot in the United States, and passing

under the Sierra Madre range of
mountains emerges into Ix>b Angeles
valley, and there rests in storage res
ervolrs 1,000 feet above the city of
Los Angeles and 20 miles away.
Fifteen months was necessary for
preparations before the work was be-
gun. The upper part of the aqueduct
passes through a very rough and what
was then an unknown region, with no
inhabitants within 50 or 60 miles. In
order to convey machinery and con-
struction material it was necessary to
build 120 miles of railway, 225 miles
of wagon road, 148 miles of water
main, 218 miles of transmission line,
a, cement plant with a capacity of
1,200 barrels a day and more than 300
buildings, such as bunk houses, mess
hulls, warehouses, hospitals, engineers'
offices and residences.
