PRETTY VEILS USED IN MOTORING METHODS OF DRAPING ONE OF THE SEASON'S TRICKS FACE VEILS.

It isn't only the automobile woman who to affect the long veils of chiffon this spring. but her sister who la not so fortunate as to own a motor car. For shopping, for driving, and, In fact, for every occasion veils of great length, will be worn, and the manner of arranging these yards of sheer. fabric will be of the utmost Importance. It not.

put on properly they will detract from the costume rather than add to it, and the arrangement is one of the little tricks of dressing that every woman should understand. Either draped about the hat and allowed to hang gracetully behind, or, after covering the face with the material, crossed in the back and brought around to the front and tied, these are the two styles most popular. In length the chiffon should be at least two yards, and in the case of the veils that are tied in front should measure three or four yards. To nearly every woman these vells are becoming and will be affected pretty generally, Fine oriental laces will also take the place of the chiffon for those who can afford them, and the French lace made velle with heavy border will also be worn, but are usually unbecoming to any but woman of marked coloring and features, Face vella are being shown in smaller dots than formerly, but in a wide range of colors. One model shows the vell adJusted on the hat before the wings are set on, so that when the veil is down over the face the wings are not covered, which is the case when the veil is draped over the finished hat.

CARELESS FIRING: COMPLICATIONS Robert Barr Makes Good Use of Feature for HI New Move. The careless fring of a new plece of ordnance by Lieut. Alan Drummond of H. M. 8.

"Consternation" while cruising through the Baltic, has led to a series of unaccountable and surprising international complications. Drummond sighted a new gun on an apparently deserted bit of rock that jutted up out of the sea. To his amazement his cruiser was at once fired on from the rock, and the Russian government demanded an explanation from Great Britain. The mystery of the whole affair the presence of cannon on such a site, the anger of Russia, and the importance given to so insignificant a matter, worked on Drummond's imagination and in moment of headstrong folly he went to Russia to Investigate: series of surprising adventures folA lowed, culminating in a scene that deles description. The whole story is splendidly recounted in Robert Barr' great novel, "A Rock in the Baltic," which has just been purchased by the Newspaper Syndicate and is to be the first novel of the much talked of series," which the association is to issue during the forthcoming twelve months.

The series consists of twelve great novels by the most famous living AngloSaxon authors. The association has appointed the St. Joseph Gazette to bring the series before the public and has empowered it to issue each of the twelve novels serially before it appears in book form. No other paper in the city or vicinity can publish these great books. The story commences on Sunday, May 6.

LATE FASHIONS AT SMALL COST 2147-A Corset Cover Which the Girl Can Make. 2147 It Is always gratifying to a mother to see her daughter plying the needle and fashioning dainty garments for herself and the girl usually takes delight in makins pretty things. The first attempts are usually confined to underwear, the corset cover generally being the frat. For the girl's benefit an well as the mother we have designed simple and practical corset cover with seams under the arms and on the shoulders. The fullness at the waist regulated by a narrow stitched band of waist size.

A ribbon run beading and narrow lace may finish the neck and armhole edges or simple ruffle of the material. For the medium sizes one yard of material needed to develop the carment. No. 2147- Sises 12, 14 and 16 I BEER IS MAKING UNITED STATES A SOBER NATION MORE DRINKS CONSUMED 1905, BUT LESS ALCOHOL SAY STATISTICS. Special to The St.

Joseph Gazette, WASHINGTON, May 2. Temperance advocates And great solace in the study of census figures, recently compiled. These show that in actual gallons of alcoholic drinks consumed in the year 1905 there was a great Increase over any other year in the history of the country, but in point of alcohol consumed there has been a decrease of importance. This la due to the rapidly increasing consumption of beer and wines, the former of which contains little alcohol and much water. If the figures are to be believed, the United States la the most sober nation on earth, and its sobriety comes from the substitution of beer for the ardent spirits.

The Agures show that the nation's drink bill last year, as close as it can be gathered, was $1,548,708,307, but of this amount went to tea and other stimulanta, ranked by Dr. Wiley and others 88 producing more illness than all the beer of the country combined. In actual gallons of drinks consumed the United Kingdom leads the world; Germany second, Austria third, Hungary fourth, and the United States nfth. In the amount of actual alcohol consumed the United States is far below every other large nation, being ninth on the list. According to the statistics, the per capita consumption of actual alcohol by countries is as follows: France, 5.18, largely of wine; Italy.

3.53, mostly wine; Austria, 2.71, beer and whiskey; United Kingdom, 2.41, mostly beer and ale; Germany, 2.31, beer and ale; Hungary, 2.15, the same; Spain, 2.13, wine; Portugal, 1.68, wine; United States, 1.38, mainly beer, this country being below any other of size In the world in its use of wines. -Reliable figures from Russia could not be obtained. American beer has a little over 3 per cent alcohol, and its consumption during the present facal year will, according to official figures, run tar over 50,000,000 barrels of 31 gallons each. The interesting situation of Americans becoming the most sober people on earth and at the same time increasing the amount of beer they consume, is presented. As they drink more beer they reduce their whiskey bill, according to the figures.

It declared that this is due to the fact that business houses do not object to the moderate drinking of the light beverage by their employes but do to ardent spirits, SENATE DISCUSSES THE GOVERNMENT AIDING FRISCO WASHINGTON, May the California senators do not consider that there should at present be an effort to secure government aid in the general reconstruction of the city of San Francisco, was made evident in the senate today. The question came up on Mr. New. land's resolution directing the finance committee of the senate and the ways and means committee of the house to consider the feasibility of the government's guaranteeing bonds to aid in the rehabilitation of the stricken city. The Nevada senator alacussed the resolution at some length, contending for the regularity of his suggestion and enlarging upon the desirabilIty of making the city a more attractive center of population than it had ever been.

Both Mr. Flint and Mr. Perkins deprecated the introduction of the resolution Ag unwise at this time and both vindicated their opinion that the California delegation should have been consulted betore the presentation of the measure. The resolution was referred to the committee on finance. Mr.

Daniel concluded his speech on the rate bill. The army appropriation bill was read at length, but Its consideration was not concluded. An amendment appropriating 500,000 for a supply depot at Fort Mason, San Francisco, was accepted as was also provision authorizing a submarine cable to Panama at a cost of $900,000. CONGRESS TO NAME TYPE OF PANAMA CANAL SOON WASHINGTON, May Congress likely to pass legislation determining the type of canal across the Isthmus of Panama, soon. Although no vote was taken, that was the drift of a discussion of the senate committee on inter-oceanic canals today.

Intended to provide for a lock canal, and that congress having once decided this question should not alter its decision eapecially A8 the administration charged with the construction favors that plan. It Is believed that at the next executive session a vote will be taken to not report the bill on the type of canal. SEVEN MILLION CARRIED IN.

Had my play such power It would cause a political revolution in America within two years. The Clansman' has been produced in more than one hundred cities in the south, has been performed more then 350 times and not a single disturbance of any kind has occurred during its play in any town. There have been fewer lynchings in the south since I wrote than at any time since lynching began. don't take the credit of stopping such occurrences why should my critics accuse me of such crimes?

It was caused by the commission of a crime by negroes- crime so horrible and revolting. to every instinct of white manhood that a whole went mad with rage for justice, swift and terrible.
