Funniest situation is when you art asked for advice and then argued witt about it. The final test of gentility Is the ability to disagree without being disagreeable. American goods have been boycotted in China, probably to the great delight of pedestrians. That collie which guards his owner s chickens from hawks must have a bird dog cousin. It is possible for a man to put on age rapidly but he can put on more of it if he does it slowly. A toadstool by the river's brim looked like a mushroom to him and —funeral notice later. Probably the supreme test of personality would be getting cheerful service for a nickel tip. Television may compel the tired business man to go clear back to the office to make his excuses. It is said that women are now wearing snakeskin coats, which, of course, I are better than nothing. Eggs, says a news item, are being synthetically made from veal. And so is your old chicken salad. Clowns of France have organized a union for more pay and less work. There is nothing funny about that. There is to be a considerable change in men’s styles but the men themselves will remain about the same. An enterprising Georgia druggist placarded a display of favorite perfumery as “This year’s best smeller.*' It often happens that the square meal you get at home costs $3.75 when you have to pay for it somewhere else. Rheumatism would not be so unsatisfactory if it restricted its activity to one’s enemies, and kept out of one’s feet. Man is the more conservative, probably. and he continues to weigh more with his clothes on than he does otherwise. A hard thing to understand Is the difference between service stockings and those that are supposed to give service. Our doctor says the average length of human life will be a hundred years in A.

It Is announced that the average Income of workers In this country Is a cent and a half per minute. And don’t spend it all. Life is one thing after another. When a man gets to the age he has better sense he is worried because he needs better teeth. That 82-mile non-stop run by Tarahumara Indians has been beaten a number of times by roller towels In old-time print shops. Anticipation is the blissful period of ecstasy and spiritual exaltation that stretches between the oyster vacation and the bulging in of the watermelon crop. A submarine cable between Seattle and Alaska is reported to have been bitten in two by a whale, a theory being that it was using it for dental floss. “Pardon me,’’ murmured the up-to-the-minute young man as he champed the end off a new cigar, “have you a match I can borrow to light this lighter?’’ Discovery of an ancient Egyptian tomb brings a thrill, hut nothing like the one that ancient Egyptians would get from the discovery of a modern skyscraper.

That eastern pessimist who thinks the farm is about to vanish in America neglects to show us how we are to get along without eating. The professor was unusually ab-sent-minded the other night.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS President and Household Are Established in the Black Hills. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT AND MRS. COOL IDGE, two collies, five canaries and all the necessary household attendants are now established for the summer in the South Dakota State Game Lodge, In the Black Hills. And the executive offices of the national government are established in the I new high school building at Rapid City, 82 miles away. Even though Mr. Cool Idge should not regain the favor of the farmers—and he Is not unlikely to — he will certainly have a delightful and restful vacation in surroundings that are entirely to his taste. The lodge is on the shores of a lake surrounded by picturesque mountains, and is so secluded that comparative privacy is assured. The Chief Executive planned to make the automobile trip to Rapid City frequently to attend to the more pressing business of his office. On his way west the President stopped a few hours In the Calumet region of northwestern Indiana to help in the dedication of Wicker park, the war memorial of Lake county. In his address he spoke of the prosperity and growth of the country in a material way, but he mildly chided the nation for delinquencies. "In spite of all this progress.” he said, “we are still a great distance from what we would like to be. Our delinquencies are sufficient to require us to put forth all our efforts to work toward their elimination. Although our government is sound and our courts are excellent, too many of us disregard the obligations of citizenship by neglecting to vote, and violence and crime are altogether too prevalent. The number who are lacking in religious devotion is altogether too large. "While we have reached the highest point in material prosperity ever achieved, there is a considerable class of unskilled workers who have not come into full participation of the wealth of the nation.’’ One of the bursts of applause greeted the President’s reference to Col. Charles Lindbergh when he said: “The Ideals which we seek must be practical. We are lavish In our admiration of realities. When one of your Western young men is the first to fly from America to Europe our country hails him with a popular acclaim so spontaneous, so genuine, as to disclose the true values of our national character.” South Dakota as a whole welcomed the President warmly as the special train made its way across the broad prairies, hesitating at the farm centers long enough to give the Inhabitants a glimpse of the Chief Executive and his charming wife. The official welcome was staged at Pierre, the cental, where the President and Mrs. Coolidge were prevailed upon to change their program slightly, leaving the train and taking their place at the head of a parade which went through cheering crowds in the business section. Governor Bulow, Senator Norbeck, Representative Christopherson, committeemen, legislators, newspaper editors, farmers, and business men from all the central section were on hand to greet the President and escort him from town to town. NEW YORK went completely daffy over Col. Charles Lindbergh when he flew there from Washington. The city gave him a reception never before equalled. As the young master of the air said, It was “the reception of Paris, Brussels, London and Washington rolled Into one.” Millions of the inhabitants of the metropolis stood in a Une stretching from the Battery to Central park as the pretentious parade passed, madlj T cheering the hero and struggling for opportunity to see him. From all the buildings along the route paper confetti was hurled until it appeared as If the marchers were passing through a heavy snow storm. At the city hall Mayor Walker greeted

Organization Urged as Farmers’ Great Need Thorough organization to help an agricultural situation tn which a meager crop may be worth more than a bumper one was urged by former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Speaking at the annual meeting of the Dairymen’s T.eague Co-operative Association, Inc., he advocated the growth of farmers’ co-operative organizations to a point where they are nationwide and federated. lie

the colonel as the son of one immigrant to the son of another, and pinned on his coat the city’s gold medal of honor; the aviator talked briefly to the throng through the microphone ; his mother was called to the front and Introduced to the roaring crowd, and the procession resumed its march to Central park. At the Eternal Light at Madison square there was a pause while Lindbergh laid a wreath at the hase of the memorial. At the Mall the colonel was met by Governor Smith who presented him with the state medal of valor. Colonel Lindbergh spent most of the week in New York and was entertained extensively, though he found seme time to rest. Early Thursday morning he unexpectedly flew down to Washington and returned to New York In a few hours with his transatlantic plane, and up Friday he flew In it for St. Louis, where another rousing welcome was accorded him lasting three days. Lindbergh says he hoix?s to visit many American cities In the “Spirit of St. Louis” for the purpose of boosting commercial aviation. To date be has signed only one contract —for a book describing bls flight to Paris, Chamberlain and Levine spent n jolly week in Germany waiting for their plane to be repaired. They visited various cities and were hand somely entertained. Commander Byrd had bls Fokker monoplane America all ready at New York fur a flight to Europe with Bert Acosta as bls companion but was delayed by adverse weather conditions. Hope for the res cue of Nungesser and Coll sprang up when reports came that flares had been seen in the wilds of northern Quebec, but unhappily the stories were soon discredited. Commander de Pinedo. Italian “four continent flyer,’’ completed his tour, returning from the Azores to Italy via Portugal and Spain. Lieuts. F. B. McConnell and C. Anderson of the army were killed during air maneuvers at Langley field when their plane crushed and burned. SOVIET RUSSIA’S rage over the murder of her ambassador to Poland, following the break with Great Britain, was enough to cause grave concern to European statesmen, and it was aggravated when the Polish court before which the assassin of Voikof was tried found the youth. Boris Kowode, guilty but sentenced him to life imprisonment instead of death and requested the President of Poland to commute the sentence to fifteen years. Kowode’s lawyers turned the trial into one of bolshevism and its terrorist activities rather than one of the slayer. The Soviet rulers seem actually to be trying to intimidate the enemies of <.ommunism, for they are executing scores of men many of whom they accused of being spies In the pay of other governments, and then gloatingly announcing the executions to the world. They also decided to exile many thousands to Siberia. The Russian territorial army reserves, numbering some 300,000, usually called out for three weeks’ practice, have been notified they are to stay in th? service four months, and as most of them were being concentrated along the Polish frontier Poland was frankly alarmed. Menders of the League of Nations council, which met in Geneva, considered taking formal collective action denouncing Russian communistic propaganda abroad, but abandoned the plan at the request of Poland. THE league council discussed the prospects of the projected disarmament conference and decided the second reading of the preparatory plan should be held early in November. Only Herr Stresemann, German foreign minister, criticized the lack of progress. “I regret the inability to advance a solution for the problem, and even if the second reading does not result in failure, a solution seems delayed to the distant future. The convenant of the league says all nations must reduce their armaments," insisted Herr Stresemann, voicing the German government’s thesis that if the rest of the powers cannot agree to reduce their armament to the level Imposed on Germany by the Versailles treaty, then Germany should be permitted to arm herself up to the same general

also voiced his faith In the proposed federal farm board. Deploring the perplexity In w’hlch the farmer finds himself when a rich crop brings him less returns than a poor one, Mr. Lowden cited the 1924 corn crop. It was worth about $750,060,000 more than that of 1923, although about 20 per cent smaller, he explained. "If the corn growers had been organized and found that the market would not receive their corn at what It cost to produce It,” he continued,

' Germany notified the ambassadors’ council that the forts on its eastern frontier had been demolished, as re- ' qulred, and demanded that the Rhine- ’ land occupational forces be reduced accordingly. France agreed to this provided Marshal Foch be permitted ■ to examine the forts and found the j German statement to be correct WHILE negotiations for a compromise between Chiang Kali Shek, Chang Tso-Un and the governor of Shansi province were proceding, the Nanking Nationalist army continued its advance toward Peking and captured the Important city of Halchow near the Shantung border. The southerners, according to reports, “committed robbory and outrage In wholesale fashion.” Gen. Feng Yu dishing has pleilged allegiance to the Hankow faction of the Nationalists and has been given command of its drive on Peking. Roger Green of the Rockefeller Foundation at Peking, accmnpanled by 21) physicians and nursqs, has gone to’ Hankow to help in the care of some 12,- । <KX> wounded soldiers gathered in hos- । pltals from the Honan battlefields. Antagonism against the Japanese is steadily increasing in southern China and it Is still feared they are planning to reoccupy Shantung province In order to prevent the Nationalists i from driving out Chang Tso din. Rep resmitiiifves of the Japanese communities in Manchuria lune sent to Tokyo demands that the government prevent ! the civil war from entering Manchuria and Mongolia and that all Japanese investments and nationals therv be protected. — IN THE recent elections in the Irish Free State the government secured 4d seats, a net ipsa of 7, in the Dall Einnnn; Fianna Fall (De Valera’s party), 44; the Sinn FMn, 5; Labor, 22; Farmers. 11; Independent, I 14; National league, 8, and Independent Republicans, 2. President Cosgrave will have only seven fewer seats than at the dissolution. It is be- I lleved he will annex ten members from the farmers and Indepimdents and be stronger than before the elec- ' tlon. Eamon De Valera says his 44 will refuse to take tire oath of allegiance to the king. If they hold out, another election is probable. i I tEDNESPAY was a busy day for VV Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury. He took in almost $400,000,000 in income and other tax payments, due on the completion of the second quarter of the calendar year. He took in about $59.000,000, paid by the debtor nations of Europe on American war loans. He sold $249,598,300 of new treasury 3 a s per cent bonds. Then he paid off maturing short term securities aggregating $378,000,000 and : paid $70,000,000 in interest on various issues of the Liberty bonds. The reeipts went to swell the $600,000,000 surplus for the fical year ex- | piring June 30, next, and the retire- I ment of Liberty bonds and refinancing involved In the transactions means the j reduction in the annual interest on the ■ public debt many millions of dollars, i Great Britain turned in .$07,575,000, : which was its ninth semi-annual pay- 1 ment of interest. France paid $lO,- i OCX),000 “on account,” Italy paid $5,- | 000,000, and smaller payments were made by the other debtor nations. NrOBLES of the Mystic Shrine gathered in great numbers at Atlantic City for their annual meeting, and 100,000 wearers of the fez took i ' part in a mammoth night parade along : the five-mile Boardwalk that was said to be the finest procession ever seen in the resort city. Clarence M. Dunbar of Palestine temple, Providence, R. 1., was elevated to the office of imperial potentate to succeed David M. Crossland. Thirty-eight of the 203 cadets graduated from the West Point ' Military academy last week have requested service with the air corps, the War department has announced. Under a department interpretation of the ; air corps act, commissions cannot be granted in time of peace to any per- * son not a qualified flyer and the 38 I cadets, therefore, will undergo train- .

"they would not have dumped the larger part of the crop upon the market In a few brief months.” Despite agricultural figures which “the financial writers gloat” over, under the present system "a surplus, no matter how slight, seems to have the effect of depressing the price with a total disregard of the cost of production of even the absolute necessities of life,” he declared. Collective marketing Is “progressing,” lie said, and predicted It would some day "cover the entire field.”

PRINT SILK ENSEMBLES FOR BEACH; MATCHING CAPES AND CHIC TOUCH

44 A FLACE for everything and everything in its place”—and that place, according to Dame Fashion is the sandy beach witli its back ground of sky and sea, when it comes to a perfect setting for apparel which Is startlingly bizarre, spectacular and boldly colorful. Wherefore stylists have taken their cue, playing up to their limit the charm of vivid printed silks, cretonnes, satins and figured crepes, as mediums for beach and swimming costumes. There Is an Interesting diversity tn bathing and beach suits this season, so much so, they give the aspect of a style pageant staged to display everv

phase of the costume mode. In this gay panorama, one lias the satisfaction of seeing humble gingham, yet not so humble according to the latest verdict of the mode, hobnobbing with satin and silk, with never an appearance of cheapening the scene. Indeed the gingham bathing suit has been taken up with alacrity by the elite. The quaintness and youthfulness of a checked gingham bathing suit is proving of widespread appeal. Beach beauties are destined to promenade In marvelous ensembles this summer, featuring printed silks of every description. A charming beach costume is shown in the picture, which goes to show to what extremes the mode is trending both as to color and design. Two outstanding Items in beach at-

These short slips which look like an abbreviated day-time frock are also worn over black satin trunks. The “square wrap” above referred to is simply a large square developed of rubberized gay print banded with a plain material. It is fashioned j exactly as are the lovely evening shawls made of metal cloth and georPeasant Frock A new version of the peasan* frock I for the younger set is of a heavy rough silk with gay embroidt red motifs on the full sleeves, gathered into a cuff. Chic Boleros The elaborate new blouses with era- i Jwoidered sleeves and front, have es- i itabllshed the short boleros as smart. । The bolero sleeves are full and short, . thus revealing the blousa

gette or brocade. What’s more, the smariness of the beach square, as is also true of the evening square shawl, depends largely upon the manner of wearing it. It requires a cunning knack to wrap It around "just so." but the result Is worth practicing before the mirror to attain. The new wee-patterned silks, which are so gayly highlighting the fals ric mode, seem to call for quaint and cunning fashioning. And they get it. <>ne cannot imagine a styling better tnned to these naive silks than this illustration sets forth. It is one of fashion’s latest. Cleverness and modishness under-

writes this little frock, as viewed from every phase of the style question. The diagonal movement of the plaited rufflings, arranged as they are in tiers, is very new. The use of grosgrain ribnon for binding the edges of the cape bespeaks an outstanding trimming tendency. Os course the first thing one notices about this arresting frock is its cape of self material. Capes to match the summer-silk frock are one of the foremost features of the later modes. Capes also distinguish many of the handsome silk coats which are at this moment so favorably accepted by women of fashion. Often a coat of black faille silk will have a cape attachment finely plaited. Then, too. a frock of good style carries a plaited skirt with a short nlaited cape-wrap

1 to match. Such an ensemble developed in black or navy blue is very distingue. Speaking of capes, they are entering the costume mode from every angle, for evening as well as daytime. Just now it is the pleasure of the mode to add to the dainty pastel chiffon frock a cape of the same material. These transparent capes are indeed charming, especially worn with the sleeveless gown. Newest French fashions Include long capes of allover lace. Os black chantilly the wrap serves with every evening frock. However often the lace cape is in matched coloring to the sheer frock. Leading shades for the lace cape include gray, beige and soft modulated green. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1927. by Western Newspaper Union.)
