At the mass meeting of South Austin
citizens last night to consider the im-
provement of South Congress avenue
from the Colorado bridge to the city
limits, the committee presented a re-
port showing that the present right-
of-way is 120 feet in width and that
from the advice of the bridge engineer
that is sufficient for a forty-eight to
fifty-foot roadway at the top of the
dyke. The Carmichael Construction
company, through-If. M. Cryder, sub-
mitted what was considered by the
committee as a very reasonable esti-
mate for building the dyke.

Washington to give all the patriotic

the father of his country made his last
wish for such an “institution for the

to fulfil it. About the house Mrs.

New York, Deo. U.—With holly-
wreathed tree, and green, peeping i
from every window and caravans of
wagons loading each door with pack-
ages of presents, all Gotham has today 1
been caught up into the wildest Christ-
mas whirl that its people have seen
for many a year. While joyously riot-
ing shoppers jam every street and
•tore, fully fifteen hours in the twenty-
four. the glittering districts of the
night crowds are fairly choked with a
constant procession of merry-makrs
from arly vening till early morning.
About the home sections of the greater
city 200.000 Christmas trees and tons
or holiday wreaths and ropes are being
distributed together with bushels of
tinselled ornaments. Even in the
poorer quarters the tenements are be-
ing brightened with sprigs of holly.
While the kettles of street scouts for
the charity organizations are heaped
high with silver bounty that promises
a Christmas feast for every hungry
unfortunate in town. It is many years
since New York has shown as ready
a spirit or as full a purse for the joys
of the Christmas season.

Tremendous Thefte
That one minioh dollars’ worth of
property has been successfully stolen
from the people of this city during the
past year by the horde of thieves that
are infesting every turn of town, has
been shown today from police records,
of which the public has just obtained
knowledge. On the pages of the mys-
terious "greoh list” by which the
sleuths try to three this booty to a
few pawnshops, the startling story of
the prosperous activities of this city’s
crooks is set down in good round fig-
ures. In the last month alone a se-
lected list of the most conspicuous
hauls of burglars and thieves shows a
total of over 135,000. From the petty
pilferngs of the humble peak-thlef up
to the choicest boty of the expert
crook", these records of the proceeds
of thievery show losses of thousands
of dollars each day to all olasses of
citizens here. Unless emergency meas-
ures are taken at once to check this
alarming spread of theft, the city au-
thorities are convinced that the pos-
sesslonof property all over this island
will soon cease to be either safe or
sure.

committee, Austin, Texas,’ and reads:
"For your information in deciding

" ’We estimate 36.000 cubic yards of

Allen.

hearty encouragement of their distin-
guished visitor is declared by those
who keep track of these human bits
of flotsam to have been a general brac-
ing up of their limp spirits to face the
world once more. What wonders Taft
worked by his bit of brightening con-
tact with the. unfortunates of the
Bowery. It is believed can be kept alive
if other big and cheerful men will fol-

be lightened more in the future by

With these two promises the com-
mittee believes that the prospects for
the improvement of the dyke appears
bright. The committee and all parties
familiar with the facts feel that the
city and county will not let the op-
portunity to secure such an Important
Improvement to all the city at such a
reasonable cost go by, it being a well
known fact that the cost would be
much greater If the bridge company
were not already hero on the ground,
well equipped to do the work.
Expenses of Improving Dyke.
President Warner, who was unable
to attend theg meeting, sent the report
of the committee, with the following
suggestions:
(By Margaret Dryden.)
’ The lady who is nimble with tho cro-
chet needle will find her work more
acceptable than ever. The old -fash-
foned accomplishment has been raised
to an art now and the work of the
Irish lace makers finds many to emu-
late it. The many uses to which the
laces can be put make it highly valued,
and it is safe to predict a long popu-
larity for the edges, medallions, doylies
and butterfly bows. There have been
many directions printed for making the
rose design, but as the directions wo
desre have a way of not being avail-
able when we want them. I venture
to repeat the stitches.
Crocheted Roses.
Use crochet cotton 100 and a needle
of uniform thickness that the stitches
may be close and firm. The roses must
be made tight or they will not stand
up as they should. Do meane double
crochet, tr means treble crochet, and
ch means chain. Make eight ch stitches
and close the ring with a single stitch
on the first chain.
First Row—Six ch then make seven
times; 1 tr on the ring and 3 ch 1 sin-
gle on third stitch of the 6 ch.
Second Row Make over each loop of
the 3 ch. I plain. 1 half tr. 3 tr and
1 plain. This makes the first row of
petals. a
Third Row—One plain on the single
stitch of first row, 5 ch and then
make 7 times; 1 plain on the next tr
of the first round and 5 ch one single
on the first plain.
Fourth Row-- Make over each loop
of 6 ch. 1 plain, 1 half tr. 5 tr l half tr.
and 1 plain.
Fifth Row—One plain on the single
stitch of the third round. 7 ch, then
make 7 times: 1 plain on the next plain
stitch of the third row and 7 ch, 1

The rose may be made larger by
making another row of petals on , the

both chain and treble stitches. It may
be made of fewer petals by leaving off

The uses to which this rose may be

with a plcot scallop and sewing the
