U. S. PARCEL POST EXPORTS LARGER Enormous Total of $2,000,000 Monthly Is Estimate, According to information received by the Foreign Trade Department of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce from Julian Klein, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in Washington, American exports by parcel post have begun to reach enormous totals monthly. This bit of information is of exceeding interest to many Indianapolis concerns who handle their products largely through parcel post and such information stimulates the desire here for a broadening of their trade relations' with foreign countries. Mr. Klein in his communication to the Chamber of Commerce said that until recently manufacturers generally looked upon export business as some super-mysterious impossibility but figures now compiled show that the small package and the small sales are finding their way into the foreign markets of the world through the medium of the parcel post. While it is impossible for the Department of Commerce to make a completely accurate check, it is estimated that approximately $2,000,000 monthly is represented in American parcel post exports.

“Blue Monday” Fades as Wisconsin Farmers ’ Wives Create Modern Laundry on Co-Operative Plan

Bv yEA Service IVER FALLS, Wis.. July 29.—Wash day is not “blue Monday” to the farmers' wives of St. Croix County, Wisconsin. They have a cooperative laundry of their own, which has just completed ten years of successful operation so successful that women's clubs from all sections of the country are asking how it's done. Originally the laundry served only the immediate vicinity of River Falls. Now the adjoining rural communities and ten nearby villages have their soiled clothes collected, washed and returned with the regularity that prevails in a big city. And it came about as the result of a debate in a woman's club. SlO a Share Dirty clothes took so much time to wash that members of the Home Culture Club, an organization of farm women, decided something should be done about it. A canvass was made of the surrounding farming community. Stock was sold at $lO a share. A.t first, the project was tried out in conjunction with a cooperative creamery, but the business took such a spurt that a separate enterprise became necessary. After the first year the project was a success. The cooperative laundry, still owned by the farmers' wives, employs ten girls an i three men. It has average of 477 customers and furnishes same-day service to hotels and restaurants in Hudson, Hammond, Ellsworth, Cumberland. New Richmond, Baldwin, Spring Valley and Prescott. Three-Day Service Laundry trucks, operated on a commission basis, gather up the dirty clothes from the farmers' wives each week and bring the garments back within three days, washed and ironed. A dry-clean-ing department also is operated. The college of agriculture. University of Wisconsin, awarded it a prize of S3OO this year because of its success in lightening the burden of the farm home. The institution is a model in every' respect, equipped with latest machinery. It has paid off all indebtedness with the exception of $1,200. It manages to pay off about 31,000 a year. Charming Finish Strands of pearls in graduated sizes makes a charming finish for the dress with the plain round or Jenny neckline.

TY/Tartha Lee’s Column

Not for Her Dear Miss Lee: I am a gir! 17 years old. X have been going with a bey three years older. He wants me to marry him. I told him I wouldn’t marry any one for a couple of years. He said he would wait, and wants me to be engaged to him. I said I would tell him later. Do you think it would be all right for us to be engaged now? lam sure I will always love him, GLORIA. No, dear, don’t become engaged to this boy. If your love really does last until you are old enough to marry, It will not be because you are engaged. Instead, both of you get out among your other friends. You may be sure of your love now, but it’s just as well to put it through the test of comparison for a few years. Mother Worries Dear Miss Lee: My son. who is 16, seems to have a severe case of “puppy love." Ho moons around the house, and has lost all interest in his radio and other real boys' things, that he always liked so much. The girl is a sweet thing, but I don’t want him to get any foolish notions. Isn't there anything I can do? ANXIOUS MOTHER. Not much, I am afraid, except to lt this “puppy love’’ run Its course. Handle him with care, or you wil} lose his confidence, and that would be bad.

C tn e 9an^/Q LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF 1 THE SECRET DRAWER, CONTINUED "Since then,” I continued, "through a series of peculiar incidents, you know what has happened. Now it's up to you to play the game, just as I played it when you came to me with a confession that was not so innocent. “You must excuse me now, for I must see that everything is made ready for the proper celebration of our happy married state." As I left the room I heard Sydney Carton's voice in the hallway call- 1 ing: “Hey, Jack, where are you? I ! went over to the office and that most decorative secretary of yours told me you had gone home. Is Leslie ill? Certainly nothing else but illness in the family could have kept you from meeting me at the train. I told you I was coming in this morning. I’ll just have to charge you up the amount of that taxi bill." I had made my way into the room that we are using for little Jack’s ! nursery. It opens off of Jack’s room ias well as mine. It never entered my mind, little Marquise, that Jack I would not go into the living room ;to meet Sydney. To my consternaj tion, however, he said: j “Come in here, Syd. Everybody’s ! all right. I confess I forgot that you were coming In today.” Then he raised his voice a little and shouted: “Sydney’s here, Leslie.” I did not answer. Instead, I locked the doors of communication between both Jack’s and my rooms and the nursery. In a moment or two I heard Jack call Nora and tell her to tell me that Mr. Carton was here. Shortly after Nora informed him she thought I had gone out, that Mother Prescott had told her she had caught a view of me getting into the elevator. Just who Mother Prescott had taken for me. I did not know, but I determined to make her word good, and leave the house as soon as I could without being seen. I wanted to talk over matters with Ruth. Before I could do this, however, I heard Jack mention my name to Syd, and then in a torrent of words he told him the whole story. Evidently Sydney Carton did not say a word until Jack had finished; then I heard in the most contemptuously sarcastic tones, these words: ' "Jack, I have always known you ; | were a fool, but it never entered my j j head that you were suoh an utter ! ! damn fool as you have proved your- 1 self to me by the conversation that i has just taken place!” "But. Syd, can you not see Leslie ; has put me in a terrible position? If this matter should get out I would | never be able to hold up my head i again.” “And yet you threatened her, ! Jack.” “Oh, I didn’t mean It; neither does she mean what she said to me.” “I rather think she does,” said | ! Syd. I was able to get out of the room then, and heard no more. LESLIE.

Roman Stripes Borders of Roman stripes are seen emphasizing the hems of the new separate skirts of both silk and wool. Sapphire Blue Sapphire blue embroidery and facings of velvet in the same color make distinctive trimming for a black satin gown. Intrimmed The large hat gains In popularity each day. The most popular models are practically untrimmed. Even bindings and bands about the crown are dispensed with. Dinner Gown The black lace or chiffon dinner gown is seen as the standby in the wardrobe of the woman who must watch her expenditures. Dyed lace too, is very popular.

FABLES ON HEALTH Return to Boyhood

“You know it isn’t altogether the mere fun of fishing that matters,” said the physical .hector of Mr. Mann, when the latter started on his summer vacation. “Whether you follow a trout stream or sit in a boat, fishing is a means to a healthful end. “Suppose you go trout fishing. You're all atingle to land one of the babies, aren’t you? And you start following the stream. Your mind is twenty miles away from care and you waik and walk—and all track of time and distance. Without knowing, you cover seven or eight miles.

Every Day Morning Blues Are Chased Away by Godowsky, Lewis and Perietz

By WALTER D. HICKMAN. rz*| ETTING up morning exercises I N I are not nGW -'- I j But have you heard of the new getting up exercise? It’s a whiz and works beautifully. In plain English—Do you want something which will chase away those every morning sort of blues? A sort of a strictly within the law eye opener? Well I have discovered it. Now, I am not putting myself in the same class with Mister Edison .but I have discovered something just the same. The other morning I had those “stay-in-the-hay ' blues” something awful. Even when I got up, I wanted to fall back upon the bed. But I didn't. That is where I made my discovery. I walked over to my phonograph and turned on a brand new Gennett record. Guess what is was? Answer: McDowell's "To a Wild Rose,” played as a violin solo by Robert Perietz and with Thornie Prewett Williams at the piano. Suddenly the beauty of McDowell as brought to life in my apartment by Perietz. began to soak in'. I stood by the machine and listened to the quiet, soothing greeting of nature as- McDowell saw it. The beauty increased and I began to feel like I wanted to stay up for the rest of the day. You see I began to have a mood. So I dragged out a Brunswick record on which the piano playing of Leopold Godowsky had been registered. On one side was Chopin’s “Polonaise in A Flat,” and on the other was Liszt’s “Liebestraurn." Here Is Artistry Not very familiar with this player, but this Brunswick record made me feel that I wanted to know him better. He brought to me a better realization of the beauty of both Chopin and Liszt than I have had. Kis touch is sure. At times brilliant, but all the time it is accurate tone. His technique registers perfectly on this record.' If you want the better piano music then be sure and meet Godowsky on this new Brunswick record. It is a delight. The world began to look brighter. I was awake. I wanted to be sure. So I began to search for my friend, Ted Lewis, and his bunch. I discovered his brand new Columbia release. On one side was a popular foxtrot hit, called "June Night," and on the other. “I Wonder What's Became of Sally?” As I played this modem trot with all of Ted's flourishes, it seemed to me that I had turned on a shower bath. First cold and then warm. .As the ozone began to syncopate. I trotted around the room, grabbing on this garment and that. Finally when

Running the Gauntlet _ JjilEN the bride and groom YY/ get ready to depart on vv their honeymoon, it is customary for the guests to wait for them and shower them with rice as they make their way to their motor. The wedding guests stand out on the street looking after them as long as a trace can be seen— and then gradually disperse. Colored Facings Colored facings are one way of introducing color on a frock that must be dark to withstand much wear. Red and blue both are excellent choices. The white facing on black is not so practical, but is very lovely.

“Now suppose you had stayed at the hotel or camp? You would have lolled around, and your mind might have wandered to affairs at home; and the flies would have bothered you. and maybe you would have found a newspaper and been bothered by a market report. “Instead of that you are out in a primitive occupation; you return literally to boyhood—and that's what you need on a vacation. “If you go boat fishing, you are likely to get the exercise of rowing and the relaxation of lying in the sun waiting for a bite. It’s hard to beat a fishing vacation!”

niKri mm SHEROLD PAGE Always want to accommodate people. Was asked by patrons at English’s to print a picture of Sherold Page, anew member of the Berkell Players. And here is Sherold. Thanks. Ted and his bunch finished, I was dressed and ready for the day. Oh. I tell you, that is a sure way to get up in the morning. New Releases The new Red Seal Victor records are listed as follows: Galli-Curci singing, "Manon —Gavotte-Obeissons quand leur vola appele,” and “Don Cesar de Bazan;” Stokowski and the Philadelphia Symphony playing, “Soldiers Changing the Guard” and “March of the Smugglers,” from "Carmen.” More about the “Carmen,” numbers later.
