It makes no noise to annoy people. For the healthiest girl and the healthiest boy, life surely must be an inending joy. Another secret of success is not to waste any of your time thinking up secrets of success. A formal garden is one where the cutworms ask for an invitation before spending a week-end. It would be tine if these new-fangled razor blade sharpeners would work on the family hatchet. Mere man, says an expert, is no Judge of fabrics, but he knows when tnees look their best Education is a great advantage: Coeds in a western university have voted that men are not perfect Just so the telephone girl don’t come back, when you ask for number, and demand: “Ask me another.” One of the perquisites of many distinguished but onerous positions is the privilege of resigning on a day's notice. About the most useful thing some men ever do is to suggest something good for their wives to cook for dinner. There were also flappers, says a physician, in the Middle ages. A widespread theory is that they are the same flappers. In all the controversies forced upon science, the fact stands out that those i who have been vaccinated do not catch smallpox. The professor had another of his absent-minded evenings! After bidding seven spades on a 13-spade hand he asked: “What’s trumps?” The only addition the musical show producers hav’e made tn recent years to the store of general information Is that one nude is about like another. The news that men are taking to the use of cosmetics may or may not be mere propaganda. Perhaps it will be followed by advertisements of vanity cases for sheiks. When a fagged male arrives home late in the afternoon, throws himself wearily into a chair and asks, “What’s for dinner?” a woman is a dear thing who replies, “Guess.” All some of us know about girls Is if you tell one of them she is different from the others she will almost automatically reply that you alone understand her inner nature. Physical experts should arrive at some conclusion as to how many times a minute and during how many hours a popular matinee idol should be expected to shake hands. Fairy Story—Once there was a melodrama with a sensational trial scene, during which it was not discovered suddenly that the fair accused was closely related to the judge. Practically every household task in the home of a New York radio manufacturer is performed by mechanical appliances. And the maid’s name is John and he is an electrician. “Be kind to animals" Is a call that should bring a certain degree of farm relief. Cattle ill fed and uncared for are not only miserable, but can promise no profit. A musical comedy is a fable based on the proposition that a native of a South Sea island, on seeing white men for the first time, bursts into English with a slight accent. The C. B. & Q. could go even farther tn its program of civic betterment and have its new musical whistles play the “Dead March From Saul” as they approach the crossing. America, says a European critic, makes too much noise about its virtue. Probably an outgrowth of the national habit of showing up in Sunday school, when a boy, in squeaky shoes. Scientists continue to promise a span of life reaching over a hundred years or more. The prediction is ' cheerful except as it threatens serious increase in the number of tiresome persons. The world would be a brighter place for the average man if the razor he uses would keep the sharp edge of the razzing he gets. A murderer acquires enormous no- | toriety and Is compelled to realize with regret that there is no means I of capitalizing it. There may or may not be any significance In the news that wheel-bar row manufacture is declining. But the steam shovel does tend to make more upright men. Who remembers when the last word in nattiness was bows on the oxfords that looked like a couple of Windsor ties? Doctor Hicks, of the University of Colorado, says that the next war will be with insects. Just like we haven’t been fighting 'em for ages I A hero prize has just been awarded a man for saving a woman from drowning—or was it for marrying her? Anyhow, he has not saved anything since.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Sacco and Vanzetti Execution Marked by Many Riots by Radicals. By EDWARD W. PICKARD EVERY means of saving their lives having failed, Sacco and Vanzetti, the Massachusetts anarchists convicted of murder, were executed in the state prison at Charlestown. Madeiros, the Portuguese murderer, went to his death in the electric chair at the same time. Thus, so far as the agencies of I justice are concerned, ends this seven- ! year Incident that has caused such a rumpus in America and throughout the world. But the radicals and sentimentalists who assert that the execution was a judicial murder propose to keep the case alive indefinitely. They announce plans for raising a fund to create a memorial to the two men and to endow Mrs. Sacco and her children, and an organization that will undertake to establish the innocence of the “victims” and to expose the alleged conspiracy that sent them to their death. The bodies of the men were cremated, and the ashes of Vanzetti, it is planned, will be exhibited in various European cities. Immediately before and after the execution there were violent demonstrations in many cities here and abroad, though those in the United States were efficiently handled by the police. The radicals in Paris were especially active, staging several riots in which they fought the police and troops, barricaded streets and looted shops. Scores were injured and the property damage was large,. The mob besieged the American embassy but it was adequately guarded. Leaders of the French Reds loudly proclaimed that the meeting of the American Legion in Paris would be ruined, but these threats are in the main disregarded. Other riots, carefully prepared in advance, were put on In London, Leipzig, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Warsaw, Brussels, and Geneva. In Johannesburg, South Africa, an American flag was burned on the steps of the town hall. Peaceful demonstrations were made in Berlin and Sydney. It Is probable that a vast majority of Americans, convinced that justice, long delayed, was done In the SaccoVanzetti case, are tired of reading about It. PAUL R. REDFERN started in the plane ‘Tort of Brunswick” from Brunswick, Ga., for a nonstop flight to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. If he makes the 4,600-mile trip successfully, he will have established a new record for nonstop flights. HOPE of finding the five lost transpacific aviators and their two would-be rescuers, Captain Erwin and A. 11. Eichwaldt, who went out in the plane Dallas Spirit to aid in the search, was virtually abandoned, though the vessels of the navy may keep up the hunt for some time yet. The sea between San Francisco and Hawaii was scoured for any sign of the missing flyers but no trace was found. During the week there was a report that a flare had been seen on the slopes of Mauna Kea and it was ■ considered possible that either the । plane carrying Pedlar, Knope and Miss 1 Doran or that carrying Frost and Scott had swung south of its course and crashed on the mountain. Therefore, searching parties were started out, but at this writing no word of their success has come. As for Erwin and Eichwaldt, their location at the time they sent their SOS as they went into a tailspin is known approximately, and boats that were hurried i there found not even an oil spot. — P' RESIDENT AND MRS. COOLIDGE i , spent the week in the Yellowstone j National park, viewing its many wonders and thoroughly enjoying themselves despite the swarms of tourists that made the trip too much of a public event to suit the Chief Executive. Both Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge tried the . L. Hitch in Advertising Canada’s Goods Abroad The Canadian government has SIOO.000 to spend on advertising Canada's wares abroad, but not a cent of it can be disbursed under the present conditions. The sum was voted for foreign advertising with the express stipulation that It would be available if matched with a similar amount by producers of exports. The producers have refused to meet

trout fishing on Lake Yellowstone, and both were eminently successful in hooking the speckled beauties. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE HOOVER, returning to Washington, declined to comment on his reported Presidential candidacy. On his behalf It was stated that he was giving thought only to the duties of his office. His friends denied that he had authorized anyone to form an organization to campaign for delegates to the Republican national convention. It was specifically denied Jhat W. Ward Smith, former secretary to Nathan L. Miller, former governor of New York and now counsel for the United States Steel corporation, was authorized to do anything In Mr. Hoover's behalf. Mr. Smith and Mr. Miller were both active in promoting a boom for Mr. Hoover for President at the time of the 1920 Republican convention. Vice President Dawes. In a letter to Douglas T. Atkinson of Cincinnati, judge advocate of the Young America Union, secret nonsectarian political organization, relating to the possibility that he might rue for President. said: “I am not a candidate for the nomination.” Minneapolis has notified the Republican national committee that It is a contender for the 1928 convention, and that It has a fine new auditorium and ample hotel accommodations. Whether or not Minneapolis is ready to make a financial guarantee was not indicated. San Francisco thus far is the only city which has come forward with the necessary $230,090 guarantee. DURING Japanese naval maneuvers off the port of Maizura the cruiser Jintzo collided with and sank the destroyer Warabi in the night. Ninety men and petty officers and 12 officers of the destroyer’s company were drowned. About the same time the cruiser Naka collided with the destroyer Ashl, cutting through her afterpart, which resulted in the loss of 27 other men. The Naka was not seriously- damaged and proceeded to port after temporary repairs, but the Ashl was towed in. This was the second disaster in the Japanese navy in August. On the first day of the month 38 men were killed and 47 wounded when a mine exploded on the deck of the minelayer Tokiwa. The explosion occurred while the vessel was engaged In maneuvers off Kiushiu Island. ACCORDING to the Washington Post, the State department has learned from trustworthy sources that Great Britain and Japan came to a mutually satisfactory secret understanding regarding future naval supremacy when it finally’ became apparent the United States would not accept the British program at the recent Geneva conference. The gist of the secret understanding has not been divulged, the newspaper adds, declaring.that it is doubtful if much definite Information on its contents is available to the officials of the American government. Mayor “jimmy” walker of New York, touring European countries, was something of a joke in Great Britain, but when he reached Germany there were complications. These developed from the refusal of the hotel where he was stopping in Berlin to fly the German republic flag alongside the American flag when a ; banquet was given him, as he had re- | quested. The owners and managers ; of all the big hotels had promised the American club that they would show the flag of the German republic and then reneged because they feared their established clientele, made up largely of monarchists, would object. The city administration immediately declared that all officials must boycott those hotels, and republicans throughout the country took up the issue. C 1 ITARLIE CHAPLIN’S divorce case is ended, so far as the film come- > dian is concerned. After the long months of bickering and recrimination. an agreement was reached and Mrs. Chaplin was granted a divorce decree and the custody of the children. The grounds were “mental cruelty,” and Chaplin put on no defense, though four of his attorneys addressed the this requirement. They declare they are spending money overseas to advertise their own trade-marked goods, but they have shown no enthusiasm regarding a plan for general advertising of Canadian products. The reason is obvious, they maintain. Those trying to create a permanent market on an enlarged scale know they can do it only by maintenance of high standards of quality and continuity of supply. By co-oper-ating with the government in any general advertising plan they feel they

court in his behalf, for the apparent purpose of winning public sympathy. Chaplin agreed to pay to his wife $625,000, and to establish a trust fund of $200,000 for the children, the principal to go to them when the youngest is thirty-five years old. W. I. Gilbert and Herman Spitzel, receivers, who handled the property of Chaplin and defendant movie corporations during the divorce negotiations presented a bill for services to the court and were awarded $45,000. Counsel for both Chaplins protested and Lita's lawyers obtained a 15 day stay on the order for payment of fees. REUNIFICATION of the Hankow and Nanking factions of the Chinese Nationalists was announced by the bureau of foreign affairs in Shanghai in a statement which said: “While the details have not been worked out, the unification of the two factions is now a certainty." It was also announced that T. V. Soong, considered one of the best financiers in China, probably would be finance minister of the National Ist government. That gentleman told the press it was likely the Nationalist tariff autonomy would be modified in order not to disrupt business but that the principle would not be surrendered. The Nationalists are retrenching on military expenses and concentrating their troops south of the Yangtse, am! presumably will leave the northern campaign in the hands of Gen. Feng Yu-hsiang. MEXICO has a hard time handling her bandits. Just after Gen. Manuel Reyes, leader of the gang that kidnaped and murdered Jacob Rosenthal. American millionaire, had been executed, another band of several hundred men attacked a train between Guadalajara and Mazatlan and fired more than 40 shots into the cars because the engineer refused to stop. Miss Florence M. Anderson of Los Angeles. a school teacher, was wounded and died a few days later. J. Winsor Ives, American vice consul at Mazatlan, made vigorous demands upon the Mexican government for the capture and punishment of the bandits. Reports reached Nogales. Ariz., of a Yaqul rebel concentration in the Sierra De Bacatetes mountaiug of Sonora and of three towns in southern Jalisco, Mexico, being captured by revolutionary bands. The Yaqals were reported to have committed depredations within sight of El Palme, railroad division point. Buenos Aires, Mazamatla and Conception were occupied by the rebels in Jalisco. CARDINAL RIEG Y CASANOVA, archbishop of Toledo and primate of Spain, died in Toledo after a lingering illness. The cardinal, one of the greatest prelates of the Catholic church, attended the Eucharistic congress in Chicago last year and made many friends in America. He liked the United States, and lauded its youth. Murray Roe, son of E. P. Roe, the once-popular novelist, and himself a famous engineer and a social figure in New York, was found dead in Central park, New York. Years ago, after liis wife divorced him, Roe went to South America, where he lost both his health and a fortune of about $1,000,000. Since his return in 1913 he had been employed in a theater. Other Reaths worthy of mention were those of Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler of Chicago, one of the mostnoted pianists in the world, and of Zaghlul Pasha, former premier of Egypt and leader of the Egyptian Nationalists. IN MISSISSIPPI’S second primary for the Democratic gubernatorial election incomplete returns indicated that Theodore G. Bilbo had defeated Murphree by something like 10,000 votes. Os course the nomination is equivalent to election. “I am the happiest man in the state of Mississippi,” ; Mr. Bilbo said. “In all my experience in politics this is the greatest victory ; I have ever won because of the great odds against me.” INFORMATION has been received by Acting Secretary of the Navy Robinson that American marines in : Nicaragua, acting with, the constabulary, killed two more bandits in an | engagement near Jicaro. would only be opening up the way for unscrupulous exporters to dump in- : ferior goods and destroy the market already existent. , The exporters say they would co- । Operate with the government if the . government will establish and maintain export standards, which would [ be proof against inferior products get- i ting overseas. To this end a national trade mark, supplementing the firm mark and giving a national guaranty of quality, could be affixed which would give the necessary protection.

SUITS OF NOVELTY TWEEDS; FOX FUR NECKPIECE POPULAR

SEEKING enlightenment as to fall suit trends? Well, here Is a “last word” model which speaks for itself in Its mannish tweed fabric, its short skirt with its adroit plaits at one side and its swagger-cut coat. It is Marion Nixon, she who holds forth in moviedom to the delight of vast audiences, who has stepped into the autumn picture clad as you see. With this eminently correct and “easy-to-look-at” suit Miss Nixon wears a ravishing red suede vest. It tones the whole outfit. A bit of the red suede escapes from the vest to do

duty as a boutonniere and on the pocket and collar a.s a “note of color.” A sports felt hat of tan, with matching shoes and bag, give a perfect finesse to this ensemble. The sturdy rough tweed suits now so fashionable are directely in contrast to the elaboration movement of woman's costume which marks this season. For that reason they achieve a more than usual distinctiveness. As to length of skirts, this depends whether one is considering the subject from the American or Paris standpoint. French couturiers are inclined to somewhat longer lengths, but women here, especially the flapper age, are proving quite defiant, many ot them insisting on continuing a display of knees. Os course Paris usually wins in the finals, but just now brevity is the rule, especially for the youthful style enthusiasts in America. Another item of interest —the smartest suits have not an inch of fur in sight as actual trimming, this because

of the vogue for the separate fur । piece. Every one who can afford it is I going to own a beige or platinum fox 1 fur scarf this fall. Seems as if browns are to have their inning this season, lovely chestnut shades, cocoa, deep leaf tones and the like, which of course establishes the color trend for novelty cloth suits. More formal type suits appear in black and also in leafy-colored broadcloths, but it is the sports suit which Sports Bodices Rodices are often seen with side j closing in both one and two-piece sports dresses. In many cases the line is marked by buttons which are usually decorative only.

is the “nifty” thing for general wear. Bravo for the girl who has re- ■ mained constant to her fur neckpiece throughout torrid summer days. Now is the time of her reward, for autumn breezes do begin to blow, and what so “comfy” as well as satisfying to her vanity on a fickle fall day, as a good-looking fur about shoulder and throat. To say that these fashionable neckpieces are “foxy” describes them in more ways than one. From the modish standpoint they are all of that. When it comes to the fur itself every

branch of the fox family tree is rep resented in autumn’s style parade There is pointed fox in all its glory, blue fox, red, platinum and beige. As to white fox it holds its own triumphantly, regardless of the fact that ft has been doing strenuous duty the whole summer through. Imagination cannot picture anything more “swanky” in the way of a' fall costume or suit enhanced with a flattering fox scarf. The autumn landscape will be crowded with just such. A fox neckpiece never fails to enrich the dressy three-piece ensemble, as this pictures so charmingly proves. With the smart tweed suit of autumn vogue, there is nothing so swagger as a handsome fox fur piece, preferably in beige or in platinum. Perhaps the newest in fox fur pieces are the double or twin animal types. These two-in-one models are necessarily luxuriously long, joining as they do two furs at the back of the neck, which is in keeping with the trend to-

। ward heavily furred effects for fa!) I and winter. I In neckpieces there is also a marked tendency to wear sable. This fur, by the way, is receiving marked attention in the styling of garments of distinction. Flat-fur coats richly collared and cuffed with fox are conspicuously present in advance style showings.
