Often a fringe o( bangs gives a coquettish effect to this hair do and takes away the harsh line of the center part, which so few can wear. Those who hesitate to cut the hair in bangs can have adjustable bangs attached to ribbon head-bands. This is particularly attractive for evening wear. New Sports Jacquettes. Sports jacquettes have had such a run this season that the ordinary types are no longer desirable. However, the jacquette is not to be cast aside for fall wear. Little jacquettes of suede, made of mannish lines, are among the newest of fall’s sportswear. Most of these use wood shades and are unbelted, with either double-breast-ed or single-breasted fronts. Again we see the sports jacquettes in the heavy homespuns worked in wool cross-stitching. These, of course, are more colorful than the suede effects, since they are usually embroidered in three or more colors on pockets, cuffs and collars. Straight unbelted lines are preferable to the tie-at-the-side models, as fall predicts tailored effects. Small head-shaped hats of homespun worked in colors to correspond with the jacquette are smart. Fall sport shoes made of crocodile leathers and lizard skins are to be seen before long. They are especially desirable for golf and country wear. —• LIGHT ON LIFE'S WAY Thy word is a lamp to the climbing feet; A light on the upward path; Pathway leading through friendship’s fields That joy and blessing abundantly yield; Through fragrant valleys of sacrafice, (Crossing these vales not once nor thrice But over and over and over again.) Loveliest land in tlie lives of men! Path by the good of all ages trod, Patriarchs, prophets and the Son of God; That goes through *the Garden of, Gethsemane 'nd over the summit of Calvary: Beside still waters, through meadows green, Over hills of faith from whence are seen The Delectable Mountains and Heaven’s gates, To the City Eternal, where crowns await; A light on the upward path Is thy word, a lamp to the climbing feet. birds and the crops Tpon goon crops hinges the nation s financial and economic prosperity. Farmers need birds since 'he success of their crops depends upon them says Nature Magazine. ; They may increase bird life on their farms by establishing bird refuges. Experience has shown that they can st do this by co-operating with a state Same commission, an Audubon society, a bird club, or a school. The armer donates his land and acts as "arden while the other party fur--18 , es the bird houses and feeding --vus. When birds ; frequent the ®a sides they destroy insects on adjacent farm acres.

Only $lO a year is spent by the average American family for cleanliness. These figures are furnished by R. R. Deupree, general sales manager for the Proctor and Gamble company, who in summing up the use of soap in the United States for the year ending June 30th, 1923, said: "Two billion pounds of soap and soap products were consumed by the twenty five million families in the United States. Figuring an average of 4.4 persons to a family, every family In the country used approximately 80 pounds of laundry, toilet and other soaps and soap powders for washing, shaving, shampooing, cleaning of clothes, homes, etc. Ten dollars a year is spent by the average American family for this purpose. At to day's retail prices, the annual soap bill for the United States is approximately $250,000,000.” In addition to soap used in homes. 500,000,000 pounds is consumed by laundries, hotels, office buildings, public institutions, and on transportation lines, and in the industrial and textile field, where soap is used for manufacturing processes, according to Mr. Deupree’s figures. This adds another 500,000,000 pounds, making a total annual consumption of 2,500,000,000 pounds .the value of which is estimated at $312,000,000. this one a beauty The largest and most showy of the eastern species is the large purple fringed orchis, says Nature Magazine The first sight of one of these in full bloom is a thing that one can never forget Its solitary stem reaches a height of one to five feet and is crowned with a cluster of purplish blooms from three to fifteen inches long. THE DEAUVILLE SCARF The Deauville scarf is nothing if not versatile. It is now worn wrapped tightly about the neck.

Actual braking effectiveness is practically doubled by Buick four-wheel brakes. This is accomplished by slowing down the two front wheels. Each brake band has a three-quarter wrap or grip on its brake drum, rather than the half-way wrap in common practice. The Buick four-wheel brakes are an integral part of the Buick front axle design. Their arrangement and operation are simple. The front brakes are coupled in relation to the rear so that when the brake pedal is operated more pressure is put on the rear brakes than on the front. Buick four-wheel brakes [on all models} are one of many definite advances in motor car operation and maintenance that the 1924 Buicks hav« contributed to automobile transportation. _________ E-7-30-NP PORTER & BEAVERS Buick Distributors.
