Mediation Commission, one of
whose members. Ymner Z.

Their program includes media

in the Globe-Miami Copper and
other districts of Arizona, and
Southern California before

The work of the commission
is to see specifically that the
supply of minerals and timber

that both sides in every contro

contains a labor representative
in the person of John H. Walk
er, president of the Illinois
state federation of labor, and a
representative of capital in the
j person of Col. John L. Spang

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are

loss?

j Simple and Dignified Negligee_J
Some negligees contrive to lie sim
ple and dignified, as well as pretty—
they have “a grace in being gay.”
Here is an example of a negligee that
is as easy and comfortable as a ki
mono, presentable outside one's own
room and very easy to make for the
capable woman who does her own
sewing, it has an accordion plaited
skirt of thin, light-colored silk and a
pretty coat of crepe georgette or chif
fon cloth.
The skirt is straight and rather nar
row and hangs from a very short un
derbodice, making a high waist line.
The skirt and bodice are set together
with a narrow beading, which is pretty
when crocheted of silk thread, like the
skirt in color. Black velvet baby rib
bon, run through two rows of the
heading, is tied in a rosette at the
front and has hanging ends. This
touch of black is effective on all the
light colors used for the gay and love
ly house gowns. .
The slipover coat is long at the buck
and has kimono sleeves. A vestee is
suggested by the short, pointed front.
All the seams are hem-stitched and a
hem, put in with tills stitching, fur
joshes a simple decorative border for
■Aery edge. This method of putting
together blouses, bodices and negligee
. coats simplifies matters for the home
dressmaker because all she needs do
is to haste iu seams and hems and
turn the garment over to the profes
sional hemstitcher. The accordion
plaiting is also done by people who
have pluitlng machines, but the home
dressmaker can manage side-plaits for
herself. In either ease, the plaits are
to be very slightly dampened and
lightly pressed out around the bottom
of the skirt to make a little frill.
Sleeveless Sweater.
The sleeveless sweater is a great
success. Everybody who lias knitted
this type of sweater for the Red Cross,
according to specifications, knows that
in one guise it must fill a real want.
And then there are the purely frivo
lous sleeveless sweaters of silk and
wool, in gay colors, sometimes bor
dered around the neck and armholes
and lower edge with a narrow hand of
angora. The sleeveless sweater is usu
ally of the slip-over style, that is pulled
on and off over the head.

Ostrich Plumes Coming Back.
Things begin to chirp up for the os
trich feather, for one cannot gainsay
the fact that more and more ostricli
is being used on huts as the days go
by. The exclusive shops especially
havg adopted it in all sorts of ways.
Although much of the use Is noticed in
bandings, edges and tiny tips, still
the full fashioned plumes are gradual
ly coining into their owr
