The new floss looks like silk, costs less, and the1 work is accomplished in half the time, since it needs no padding to make the pattern stand out well from the material. This does not pull or rough up in orking as silk floss is apt to do. Neck Fixings.

County CONGRESS JOHN K. HAIIN. LEGISLATURE ROBERT GRAY BUSHONG Reading GEORGE W. GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS The frequency of fatal accidents to autonomies at grade railroad crossings gives decided pertinence to two decisions by the Unted States Circuit Court of Appeals on 'the rules ot contributory negligence on the part of the victims of such accidents. In one' case, New York Central versus Maid jnent, the court held that 'the rule requiring persons to stop, to look and listen before crossing the racks was more imperative in the case of automobiles 'than horse drawn vehicles.

In the first place, the peril of collision of trains with automobiles is greater to the general public than that of a train with a carriage or wagon. Moreover, the automobilis't can run his machine close to the track and there stop to look in each direction for the trains; while if the driver of horses does that he risks the danger of accident from frightened horses. It' might be added to what the court says that an additional reason why the automobile hould stop for looking and listening is that if it keeps on running its occupants are unlikely to hear 'the noise of an approaching train, while those in carriages or wagons can nearly always hear the trains for a considerable distance. Therefore, the court held that for an automobile driver to rush across a railroad grade crossing without stopping to look and listen is contributory negligence. Moreover, the cpurt stated the fact that if automobile drivers used the care, in this' respec't, that the law demands, "the possibilities of automobile crossing accidents will be minimized." in another case, while repeating the principle of the above decision, the same court holds that a person riding in an automobile by invitation and occupying a front seat, who, without protest, permits the driver to go upon the crossing without the prescribed care, "is also chargeable with contributory negligence and cannot recover." But in this case, a woman riding on the back seat, with two persons in front of her, was held not chargeable with negligence in the absence of evidence that she could have seen the train, or known or could have seen that the automobile was approaching a railroad crossing.

These judicial views add to the lesson of recent 'tragic events for the need of extreme care on the part of automobile drivers in crossing rail road tracks. A LOAN COMMISSION Let every argument and objection against the loan ordinance be promptly met by the time tha't the election occurs. The objection that is most often heard just at present is that the large amount of money, which is to be made available for civic improvements, will be misspent. It seems that the public could be entirely satisfied upon tlfis point and all fears allayed if a commission, composed of thoroughly responsible men of the community was selected to assume absolute control of the work to be accomplished, and to piake all expenditures. The wa'ter commissioners are called upon to handle a much larger revenue than the amount of the loan, and accomplish this work in a manner that has ever, been above reproach.

Put the right men on the commission, and all objection would be removed so far as the distrustful are concerned, a With the Democrats and Keystoners wondering just whom they are going to vote for this fall, John K. Tener is going about in a business like fashion making votes and no matter whether or not there is a consolidaton of Keystone and Democratic forces, Mr. Tener will win by a splendid majority. Perhaps the guard" in New York State really did not care about managing the campaign this fall. They may have thought that there was nothing sure this fall but death, taxes and Penn sylvania." Berks county Democrats were responsible for the nomination of Grim, and he should wait for them to give the word before 'he decides 'to quit the ticket.

Reading is certainly up to date in every respect. Who ever thought that we had an opium joint running in full blast and a dozen men hitting the pipe at one time Disappointed office seekers make poor reformers, and, therefore the 'Keystone party in Berks county cannot be expected to cut much of a figure. Harvard opens with 5,000 studerits, or at least with that' number of young men who register as such. Think of a nice, quiet, little town like incurring a Democratic state convention THE PARTING A few weeks ago' we read with a great deal of pathetic interest an account in a Philadelphia newspaper, about a very wealthy family adopting a little seven year old girl of that city. The story was full of rejoicing over the young girl's ercape from the" drudgery of factory life, and even rejoiced with the widowed mother over her good fortune in finding a good home for her little girl.

But somehow, we could not feel that way over the event. We only saw the sad parting at the humble widow's home; for she was compelled to release all claim to the child and sign legal papers to that effect. Perhaps a father's paternal love is similar to the maternal love; maybe not; but we could not help but picture alike sceqe forced into our own life. If we had five children, and they were but half clothed and fed and some one proposed to take one of them off our hands and raise it as their own, in God's 'name, how could we select that one, and pluck it out of our love and send it away to live with strangers in a far off state, where we dare not see it again, nor claim it as our own'flesh and Couldwe look that poor child in the eyes and notice the parting tears and restrain our hearts from breaking, or our soul from crying out bitterly against such a separtaion? In thinking of this poor mother's trials, all the love we bear towards our own offspring rises up before us, like the vision of a bowed angel wringing her hands in agony and moaning bitterly as her torn bosom throbs and heaves with the storm of anguish raging within. To part with the child that slept in her bosom through the tender years of its helplessness, to part with the childish eyes that reflected the sunlight of love for a few brief years, to let go the little soft hands and turn away while strangers lead the dear one out of her sight and out of her hearing and out of her care; and when she looks for the last time in the direction the castaway has gone, there is only the dust of memory at the.

turn of the road, and perhaps her little footsteps in the sand but the child has gone out of her life forever. will dig a gulf between mother and child, and erect a wall of dollars to keep the mother and child apart that will be almost as relentless as death, and the poor mother can only see her in her dreams, and hear again her old plaintive cries of pain and her childish laughter. Poverty, thy true name is hell on earth! PAWED OVER FLIRTS By Rev. Percival II. Barker, Pastor of First Congregational Church, May wood, Chicago.

The mother who permits her 16 year old daughter to sail about the city in an automobile until 2 o'clock in, the morning, with a counterfeit sport of weak and weaker morals, the front door to grief and disgrace, If you don't know what company your daughter keeps or what' time of, night she turns in, your roar when gossips get busy will sound about as pathetic as the wheeze from a Jewsharp. i It is more difficult to marry off a girl who has been pawed over by every chap In, the community than it is to fatten sheep on pineapple ice, And should they come to Hymen's altar, they assume the responsibilities of wifehood with the enthusiasm of a one legged man at a society club dance, or they have flirted away their hearts until they are incapable of truly loving their husbands. 7 Flirting undermines the home, and when home life with its sanctities, its calm and deep joys and sorrows, ceases to have its charm for us in America, the greatest breakup and catastrophe in history will follow. Flirtation Is the first step toward self degradation. The man or woman who flirts is hatching a serpent's brood that will one day wake into life to hiss and sting; he is rearing wild beasts of prey that afterward, will turn upon him and rend him.

Shake it at its birth. Flirtations dwarf man's views of life far more than they broaden them. Flirting is a potent cause of that coarseness and bestial vulgarity which do so much at present to impair the beauty and diminish the power of American home life, degrading marriage to the low level of a convenience and to the still lower level of Flirtations foster the social evil. HI New Touches in Clothes Summer Embroideries That Will Smarten Fall Clothes NOVEL TOUCHES IN DRESS Newport, October 4. At this lovely city by the sea, where (the elect of the fashionable world are constantly in evidence, flot only at the more private entertainments, but at the Casino tennis, tournaments, at polo matches, charity fetes, at suburban "farms" and even shopping in the village mornings, one constantly sees novel touches in dress and minor accessories that will later be exploited in fall and winter costumes.

Yachting Costumes. For yachting white wool serge either in plain color, or striped with black hair lines is the favorite material. Linen is, of course, much worn fur this use, but it musses so easily in damp salt air, and the conditions are so trying for colors, that white wool remains first favorite. One sees a great deal of the "hobble skirt banded at the foot in a very narrow effect even in yachting dress, but usually plaits are introduced at the sides, or some other similar device is employed so that the gait is not really impeded, and the wearer can get into or out of a launch with a fair amount of ease and graceful action. In some of the most attractive suits there are trimmings of blue, or other tones that give distinction to the costume and make for stfcie and becomingness where unrelieved white would be too tame or trying.

Collars, belts of linen serge or silk furnish the contrasting colors, where it was met by white silk mousse laine shirred into the band. The coat was of satin with shirrings of the thin material let in to form the trimming. hhoes of white buckskin with match ing silk hose were worn with this. Tan Llncne Costumes. Suits tan or gray, linen the coarse Ramie weaves especially are smartly worn for short flittings to the nearby resorts, or longer journeys, where a simple suit is desired.

The shoes, gloves and hat are apt to match the color of the dress, or be of vvhite if the lapels, collar, facings, but tons, and pocket flaps are white as they often are in the smartest of these rigs. Blouses of. oyster white veil ing or linen batiste with embroideries in tan or gray wash cottons to match the color of the suit are nice with these and many of the most elegant and effective blouses are the result of fancy work on cool verandas, where in teresting gossip makes the labor pleas ant. The prevailing fashion for the square cut Japanese blouse lends itself especially well to amateur decoration, and the making requires so little sewing that any little seamstress can manage that part if one prefers.
