( ultirle, March 16. Peter llai-
raty, chief mine Inspector of Oklaho-
ma, Inclined i> the belief that there
will lie no mln. rs' sirlke in the Okla-
homa coal flel is this year, but be-
lieves that by the t me the present
miners' agreement expires in April,
practically all of th ■ mines In the
McAlester field will be closed down.
The ivprrators claim that they have
loo much coal 011 hand now, and
tumes, is the princess fro. i. which i.-
made by the front gore being ex-
tended four or five inches above the
waist line and the girdle meeting on
the sides. A dre-s.er look is found
wi.'h a panel from on th bodice
which extends several i -hes below
the belt and « often finished by silk
cord and tassels or knotted fringe
On? charming costume of Alice blue
chiffon clo h had gilt braid an Inch
and a half wide starting from the
shoulders and met? ing at a point in
front and from there running ciose
together to a rounded end which was
finished with balls a'ad tassels.
An evening gown which was most
charm ng was shown in one of 'the
fashionable shop windows recently
The material was pale lavender chiff-
on bordered with large flowers In lav-
ender, green and silver. The bod-
ice was formed by the border of the
material and crossed in front in sur-
plice effect, then* being fastened
with straps of velvet caugh't with
silver buckles. This fichu drapery
gave the effect of a Japanese sleeve
'a 'She back. Both waist and skirt
had applied bands of black velvet
ribbon as a finishing border. The
tucker was of ecru net crossed with
black velve , while the undersleeves
of net were embroidered in lavender
and heliotrope with touches of silver
+1 thread. The high girdle of crushed
•j* lavender satin was slightly Empire
-C in the back. The oversklrt was of
10 the border: d ch (Ton 11101111 ed with

Xjskii'i was of plain chiffon bordered

gores. These are trimmed with many

only one or two rows of this Is seen

large Greek key design. Another
skirt showed this design much smail-
er starting from the belt and fol-
lowing the seams of the front gores
to the hem, and then trimming he
hoi'.0111 of the skirt.
Some very fashionable petticoats
are shown for street wear this spring.
The newest idea is to vary the shade
of .lie dress skirt and the petticoats,

It is evident that linens will be
very popular In 1 he coming season as
there are so matoy qualities and de-
signs thai are being shown in the
mat rial. Krench linen with a dull
finish will be favored particularly,

dark lengthwise and crosswise lines.
Novelty linens1 sixty inches wide
come in natural colors shading into
wide borders of darker tints. These
are most attractive in dull greens,

Shopping For Summer
There are straw hats in ithe win-

There is lingerie like cobwebs and
thin peekaboo galore,
There are snow banks on the side-
Walks, there are ice cakes in

So let's go shopping, you and I,
and shiver, shiver, shiver!
There's the da niy silken stocking
with the open latticed side
And lie panama and sailor, each

Boreas is speed ..g upward, all the
arrows in his quiver,
So let's go shopping, you and I,

The low necks are alluring as they
pos? behind the pane,
And the filmy summer fabric
charms our vision once
again,
So while the rorth wind sticks us
like a million pointed sliver,
Let'3 go shopping, you and I,

VAST WEALTH
IN WATERWAY
By adopting a constructive policy
with regard to the waterways of the
state, Illinois has made a tardy but
s ill timely admission of the fact that
its water highways are assets as val-
uable as its land highways.
The people of the state, keenly
alive to the worth of their public
franchises in general, have be ti con-
tent that iheir officials should Ig-
nore the wealth-producing water
properties which must be regarded
as ess' ..tially and inherently the
properties of the whole people and,
as such, Improperly possessed by a
few to the dispossession of lie many.
As carriers of commerce and as
produc es of power the streams of
111 nois have a value which even now
is but vaguely comprehended. As
1 r.nlncers of power 011 turbine wheels
the rivers, thus far considered by
engineerh as available, are rated, by
rough estimates, as representing an
lnvestmen of $176,500,000.
In the projectof river reclamation
upon which the state has entered,
dealing with only two of th'e streams,
poteutiai values representing, by a
of $ti ,200,000, or, by a not unrea-
of $69,200000, or, by a not unrea-
sonable estimate, an Investm nt of
$8ti.ij0u,000 are involved—they be-
ing capable ot returning to the state
from $;i,4uo,000 to $4,000,000 annu-
ally.
A11 Important article by Gov. Chas.
S. Deneen, of the stat of Illinois,
opens thus, as the leading feature of
the Technical World Magazine for
April. Governor Deneen deals with
Illinois' gr at water-wealth n a way
to open the eyes, not only of Illinois-
ans. but of ci izens of other states,
to possbllltles that are nothing less
than astounding. The article Is wa ll
Illustrated and should be read by ev-
•cry citizen of this half-developed
country.
