From the story they tell this neighbor was disputing with another neighbor while standing in a road, over the price of a dog which one of them wished to sell. The seller’s price was 60 francs; the buyer’s ojfer 50 francs. While they were wrangling a magnificent automobile with curtains drawn came down the road and killed the dog. | The machine stopped and’ he chauffeur after, some eonveraatlpn with the unknown occupant ot the car handed the owner of the dog a thousandfranc note asking him to say nothing about the incident “as his master was traveling incognito.” It is now understood that about this time King Albert arrived in Switzerland incognito for a short stay. No one has remarked on the dog’s luck.

Care Os School Children Emphasized By Physician By Conrad Georg, Jr. M. D. Member Gorgas Memorial Institute (Written for the United Press) Chicago, (United Press /-Children who are. attending school should have regular hours for meals and sleep. Parents who allow their children to eat candy, cookies or anything else at any time during the day without regard to tlitjir meals are unconsciously developing habits which are injurious Ito their children's stomachs and in course of time will impair their health. The stomach is a very active organ for several hours after a meal. The i food has to be churned and then di- ' ge'Sfted by the action of the digestive | juices which are normally formed in [ that stomach I Consequently, the stomach needs rest betweefi meals and that Is im possible when a child is allowed to eat at any time during the day. Furthermore the child has no appitite at meal time. He becomes ill-tempered when requested to eat and can not di/ gest his food while he is in that mental condition. A child should have plain, nourishing. easily digested and well-cooked foods served at the proper meal time. The feeding of milk at the schools in the ihiddle of the forenoon is a practice which should be discontinued. The stomach is not made to work at a time when it should be resting. Consequently the child has no appitite when the time comes for the noon meal. Another bad feature of this dispensation of milk is that the child eats little or no breakfast with the expectation of getting the milk at school taler on in the forenoon.

School childiw frequently have no appitite for breakfast because they get up too late and try to eat in a hurry with the result that the food is not properly masticated nor digested. They should retire early at night and arise early in the morning. Their appetite will return for breakfast if there is plenty of time to eat it. Children should not attend movie shows during the day time when they can play cut of doors in the fresh air and sunlight. Such exercise stimulates and strengthens the muscles and prevents such insidious diseases a tuberculosis and rickets. — Chinese Students Can’t Marry German Women Peking (United Press)—Chinese students in Germany must henceforth give up the idea of marrying German wives, according to instructions issued by the Foreign Office here.

Veterans of Civil War Have Own Town Where They Spend Their Waning Years New ¥otk, Nov. 20 (United l*.i •') Ureas) Thole Is a "city ot dreams" near hce. populated hy a handful of e detly men ami women who live almost entirely in the past. It Is Fort Dodge. Kans., where veterans of the Civil and Spaulsh-Amorl-cans live a tranquil undisturbed life with their wives, and where the widows of those who fell during or after the battles live. Port Dodge is a picturesque little village. There Is a drowsiness about it which imparts an al: of peace even to the casual visitor. There is no hustle of business there, quite in contrast to the town of a few years ago when 'Fort Dodge was one of the most important of all Ur government trading posts. I it is a city of reminiscences. Modern problems <lo net disturb the residents here. When there are little groups ot tlie veterans congregated it is talk of the days of yesterday which occupies their tiirte. not the modern problems ot the country. There are two modern buildings re-' cently erected at the entrance to the Fort, but the rest of the place is nearly as it was in the 80’s. The whitehaired women move sedately about their affairs in the dress of several years ago, 1 and their whitehaired husbands wander over the grounds in the uniforms which were used for ceremonies and dress parades. Peace eriinates from the very trees over the grounds. “Contentment” seems to be written over the area as the visitor catches his first glimpse of the vine(|-covered porenes where the white-bearded, veterans smoke their pipes aud discuss the glories ot the past.

Turkey Adopts Jazz And Kills Old Music Constantinople (United Press) — Jazz, or, in the words of a special Turkish musical commission, "musical decadence", has penetrated to the deepest interior cf Turkey. But Turkey does not regret it. On the contrary, Turkey officially welcomes the coming of jazz. The commission was sent troughout Turkey with a phonograph, to make records and studies of the old Turkish airs for historical purposes. Tlie idea was to put down the old compositions in a permanent form, to make ggady for the tiqie when they will be obsolete. They are to be officially killed. It is planned to create a National Conservatory of Music in Constantinople, at which the Western mysteries of polyphony, counterpoint, hajmony and other musical developments are to be taught. Turkish composers will be encouraged to make use of all the Western musical tricks and dodges, retaining only the basic characteristics of the ancient Turkish music. « This means that the saxophone will replace the old monster guitar as tall as a man, which was one of Turkey's prized-msfeuments of ths past. The baby violins and the zithers, around which much old Turkish music was written, are also to go. and in their t place will come the drum and traps, the slide trombone and the -muted violin. Musical Turkey, likes sartorial Turkey, is to be ‘"westernized.”

Negligees Important In Milady’s Wardrobe By Hedda Hoyt (United Press Fashion Editor) New York, Nov. 20—(United Press) —Negligees are incense for the soul! There was a time when only an ill or lazy person lounged about in a negligee but today the fashionable woman wears them at tea time, the housewife spends quite evenings at home adorned in their alluring softness and the business woman dons them as one might sip a cocktail. They act as a stimulant for her tired mind Kimonas and boudoir robes of utility type have been discarded for luxurous robes of silk, velvet, metal cloth and lace which would be fit to rivet the gaze of kings. The modern houserobe more like an evening gown in it’s colorings and gorgeous fabrics. Geranium velvet with wide sleeves of gold lame cloth form a model combining a popular color and material. The bodice is bloused at a low waistline and the skirt dips to the ground at the rear. A green velvet negligee with dolman sleeves which are snug at the wrists has deep lapels of white fur and a fur hemline. Ostrich adorns lapers of many models. The penchant for meta’.s i 8 reflected in trimmings and in the entire upper portions of pajama suits. For instance, silver or gold pajama coats are worn with colored trousers of velvet or satin | Appliques of the trouser material are ; used on the lower part of the coat. 1 The three-quarter lenght coat is the 1 model best liked this season, when the pajama is used as a iounging robe. Most women prefer negligees on dress lines ritfher than trousered types how-

> ever. There | R a tendency toward train , effects, flowing sleeves, cajie-backs and dainty feminine lines. It la said that American women prefer straight-lined robes to the more Intricate models which the French women favor. Materials are ornate, how- ’ ever both in France and in America. Chinese Mandrin coats with satin robes beneath them are well liked as • usual. The Jumper dress Is copied in • some mode's and Spanish shawls with “ apertures for the head and arms are ■ also included this season. Reds, gr ens 'purples, coral, amethyst, rose and | burnt orange shades have met with ' greatest approval. ' Coral Gables To Vote I On Municipal Ownership II . I Coral Gables. Fla., Nov. 20.

Time was when geography determined a young man’s chance, and Horace Greeley said, “Go west, young man, go west.” Today there are rich mines of opportunity in every state. The electrical industry is prospecting new fields of endeavor each day, and present ( achievements only herald the growth to come. Recent years have brought radio to the world, power and light to many farms, and aids to the housewives, but there seems no end to development. Both the electricity generated and the number of customers served by central stations have doubled in the last ten years. And what of motors—of new uses for power in factories and homes —of electrical discoveries to come? So today, Greeley might well say, “Follow the electrical line, young man, and find opportunity.” 95 165
