MEETING THE HIGHER WAISTLINES; VELVET IN SPRINGTIME THE STYLE

_ M -sfajjß

TUNING the fashioning of the skirt to the new raised waistlines is one of the problems which has had to be met this season. It has taken no little ingenuity on the part of dress designers to create

skirt* which conform to the new tuckin blouse types without sacrificing slenderized hlpllnes. To the rescue o* the distressed stylists cnme yokes, with the result that almost ?every really new skirt has either a fitted yoke dr. ‘as instanced tn the skirt pictured. a crush girdle effect' which wraps snugly abor t the hips. Black satin is the material selected for this skirt which so clever--4y answers the c«ll for high waistline, at the same. time featuring a very new and gracefully widened hemline. The bhiuse top of dahlia colored satin contrasts handsomely with the black skirt. . Not only .have skirts been revolt) tionized, but blouses us well show startling innovations. Many of the new blouse modes are made so that they may be worn as tuckdns or over the skirt. It is going to take some time to ‘react favorably to the new si!houe’*e which strops the blouse at a high waistline. A compromise between the long blouse such ns women have been wearing and the abbreviated tuck-in has been effected lu certain new

models which are .exceedingly short, fitting jhst over the belt or top of the skirt Instead of tucking In. A neat snug fit for the short overblouse is imi>erative. Which necessity has lead to clever contrivances In the way of adjustable hip bands, such as interlocking strap effects, or intricately tied bows or tabs which snap In a firm manner. These very short types which reach Just over the top nf the skirt, are really the “last word” in blouses. The new blouses, especially tuck-ins and the shortened types, are sleeved in ways most unique. The latest thing In slee.-es is tlte short puff type. Shorten a blouse to waist length, then give to Lt wee puff sleeves and one begins to realize how very different the 4930 blouse is from types which have gone before. The outlook for the blouse sans sleeves of any sort is also promising. Especially is this true of the blouse worn with the Jacket suit. The sleeveless blouse with a tiny cape is also featured.

lAKEIT By FROM DAD SX K

Cigarette Smoking Bob came down Jo breakfast late and obviously a bit out of sorts.

Mother looked at Dad and Dad looked at mother, as much as to say, “What’s wrong now?’’ “Bob, your clothes smell mighty smokey this morning,” said mother, good naturedly. “Thought you went to a party, not to a smoker, last night.’’ “All one, and the

J

same thing now, mother." said Bob. ‘‘And take it from me. its heck to be the Only different guy at the show. I'm keeping my promise to you. but, say, do you really think It was fair to exact that promise from me just because I ve always niaile good on my agreements with you. Honestly, I d rather stay home than be the only dude • present every time, who has promised his mamma.” There was just a bit of sarcasm In the boy s tone in spite of himself. t, Father Smithhough scowled noticeably. "My boy, I’m sure mother will release you from that promise now. Such promises are necessary and desirable with children who cannot think or reason for themselves. They are not desirable for young men of your age. I know exactly' what, the social pressure is. I've been through it myself, my boy. and after I faced it squarely and thought the thing i through for myself, I stuck by my promise, only from then on it was to myself. Now, 1 thoroughly enjoy being different. Why join the herd? Wily, if I d let my conduct be determined by what ‘everybody’s doing.’ you'd be ashamed to own me as dad.” “Oh, I know. Dad. but you're a Puritan. You-whuld like to lie different ju<t as you always’enjoy being the minority, but its so deucedly uncomfortable and makes you so conspicuous. a Even the girls make fun of me. I’m no angel-child, and I hate to pose as one. I can t for the life of me see why It is all right for men to “smoke cigarettes, but that it is terribly bad for boys." “Bob." said Dad. with a good-na-tured smile, "the most difficult aspect of the whole question of conduct is this matter of conformity. Life seems organized to reduce itself to the commonplace. The cigarette has become social custom. Men of prominence on every hand, and women, too. as you well know, have accepted the edict just the same as they do fashions in clothes and fashions in speech and ; fashions in reading, and one of the great questions of the day really is, is it right for adults who are truly interested in youth to do anything that youth may not copy, for we know that a large part of a boy’s essential education comes from imitating. “Now, son, because I fully realized that we must sometime face this question again, and because I knew of your i great admiration for the coaching ability and reputation of Gilmore Dobie, who fur eleven years never lost a game, I clipped this from a paper sometime ago and slipped it into my card case: “ ‘Probably Gilmore Dobie knows a good deal about what makes a boy j strong and alert, and what causes ' him to be a failure. This is the spei cial message he sends to you : “It has * been my experience that the use of to- , bacco, more particularly cigarettes, by ' boys under the age of twenty-one, is ( especially detrimental. I think there ; are two special reasons why tobacco ; should not be used by growing boys. First, tobacco is much more detrimental to the youth than’the adult. It I-has a greater influence over the physical and mental activities of the boy, ' at the time In life when the resources ■ of the mental and physical powers are taxed by the growth and general expansion, and cannot so well with- ■ stand the additional Impediment of taking cure of poisons and the de- ; rangement of the nervous system resulting from the smoking Jiabit. Invariably this Is evidenced by lack of youthful bloom, mental alertness and physical efficiency. Second, I find It ! almost invariably the rule that the smoking habit, when formed early youth, takes a much more powerful bold on its victim and gradually Increases its influence until finally It has created an inveterate snjofcer. Every boy who is ambitious to reach and retain the highest degree of physical mental manhood, can. to a great extent. Insure himself by abstaining from the use of tobacco in his early ’ life."’ "Now, so much for that. My secI ond reason is even more fundamental. My greatest objection to the cigarette is that it is typical of a whole range of personal indulgences. were we saying the other day about citizen- ; ship and loyalties? The greatest loy- ■ alty in the world is loyalty to the best that’s in you. Smoking cigarettes is a i compromise with yourself on what you know is not the best that’s in you. , and It is the entering wedge of personal Indulgence. “From this morning on. Bob, you are , free. 'No promise binds you. Yon are a big intelligent boy. If you can’t think and reason now, you never | will." “And now It's harder than ever." said Bob with a gulp, “but I’.ll think ilt through.

Seeing Big League BASEBALI By BILLY EVANS Sportswriter, Big League Umpire and General Manager of the Cleveland Indians

It has been my experience, as an umpire, that the better ball players, I might say the stars of the game, are the easiest to handle. The mediocre player with limited possibilities, the veteran who is slipping and the youngster who is being, carried away by his own self importance, are by far the hardest class of players to manage. The player with ability realizes that the umpire is a part of the game, earning a livelihood in the same profession and is content for the most part to let him render his decisions without any serious difference of opinion. It was the unusual for great pitchers like Mathewson. Johnson, Alexander, Young and others of that type to take issue with the umpire. Occasionally they offered a slight protest to some ruling on balls or strikes and an umpire usually doubted the correctness of the ruling when such a protest was mildly made. The umpire knew the protest was based on an honest belief. Ty Cobb stands out as the greatest star of all time, yet despite his greatness. Cobb was not H| hard man to get along with if the umpire adopted the proper tactics. . J Cobb was smart, had plenty initiative and was aggressive. An umpire couldn't get anywhere fighting Cobb. Having the last word'he could win the argument by chasing him from the field, but often there are other methods that will achieve the desired result without ejecting the player from the game. In reality, not until Cobb became manager of the Detroit club did he have any trouble with the American league staff of umpires Like all players, he would occasionally get., the gate but the next day it would be forgotten. The additional duties of manager as-well as star player, the added responsibilities, made for Cobb a greater difference of opinion with umpires than he ever had as player. The keen mind of Cobb as manager couldn’t always get itself on a level with some player who failed to make the proper play—pulled a “bone.”

J J Ty Cobb.

From his position in center field he would often trot in to take the player, who had offended, to task. Such a performance took time, delayed the game,. The umpires received orders from Mr. Johnson that such a pijictice would have to be cut down to the minimum if not actually stopped. I didn't see the Detroit club for several weeks after the order had been issued, and I noted that Ty had been chased several times in the interim because he persisted in joggipg in from center field. As I have said before,’ Cobb was aggressive and similar tactics by the umpire in charge seldom made for a solution of an argument In which he was involved. To threaten Cobb with expulsion merely stirred up trouble and invariablycaused you to so- act. regardless of your wishes in the matter. I decided that If Cobb persisted in coming in from center field when I met tip with his club. I wop Id have to adopt other tactics than strong arm methods. He didn't disappoint me. The. firkt time he came In I called him aside. *Ty, you are well aware that the umpires have a bulletin about you wearing a path from center field to the pitcher’s box on all the American league parks.” He smiled, slightly. “You also know part of this crowd is on you, and would be tickled if I sent you to the club house. A majority of the crowd came out to see you play. No one came out to see me umpire. My drawing power today is limited to a pass for two.” The smile widened a bit. “Such being the case I don’t want to chase you unless you give me no other alternative. I’ve got my orders and If you persist in disobeying them, there is nothing left for me to do but banish you if I want to keep on umpiring in the American league.” Cobb was on his way to the outfield before I had finished. He realized that T was trying to be reasonable, and not once during the rest of the series did we have dm slightest disagreement over th/poX’y of trying to wear out the grass from aeuter field to second base.

Simple confections should be tried at first, then the more complicated, when they have learned to handle materials and follow recipes. Here is one that is easy, this is sometimes called Jew bread or Date Loaf.—Take a pound of dates, remove the pits and cut fine or chop with one cupful of nuts and just enough orange juice to moisten so that it may be pressed into a small pan or cracker box to shape. When I well chilled sprinkle with salt, wrap in waxed paper after cutting into slices or dip the small slices into melted chocolate. Taffy.—Take one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of molasses, one-half tablespoonful of vinegar, one-half tablespoonful of butter, cook until it forms a soft ball In cold water.

Roll into a small roll and cut Into Inch lengths with the scissors. Roll In coconut and set away to harden. This makes one and one-fourth pounds.

“AFTER over 28 years of the study 2a. and practice of medicine, during which time I have treated ana supervised the treatment of almost every variety of human illness," writes Dr. Martin J. Dobson of Los Angeles, “I believe I have discovered the greatest blessing that has been bestowed upon the human family. Statistics show that of all classes of persons, physicians and nurses live to a riper old age than any other class of people. I believe this is no doubt due to the fact that they know more about the importance of dally elimination. Dr. Dobson’s Discovery “The remedy I am speaking of is colorless, tasteless, harmless to the most delicate alimentary tract, from infancy to old age. It is non-habit-forming, and it is essential to the smooth running efficiency of the human body, which needs lubrication just like any other machine. “This remedy is Nujol. “Most human ailments can be traced to the alimentary tract for either the main or the contributing cause, and most of these disorders can be prevented or cured through proper cleansing and regulating by the administration of Nujol a* per instructions on the bottle and wrap-
