Ind., as second-class matter. a man who lets his wife cut his hair looks like he was henpecked. As usual, the weeds seem disposed to grow faster thau the grass. One who relies entirely upon his memory has it all in a nutshell. Most lecturers don’t worry about hotel reservations as they carry their own bunk. It will be necessary for the air pact If the air is packed with all the wouldbe overseas flyers. The big sister movement never will be popular with the girls who are trying to be slender. After having your ice cubes delivered it will be just as well to put them in a cool place. Probably a good many wives kill their husbands just for an opportunity to wear becoming mourning. Mah-jongg was invented by the Chinese, but very few of them at present have leisure to play the game. The price of coffee has been cut. thus putting it in the same class with gasoline—that other necessity. When a property owner goes shopping for concrete it’s a rather hard matter to sell him a substitute. Our paper money will be cut in size tn about a year. The size is of little concern. What we want is quantity. Socrates is said to have been fat and ugly, but he had more brains than many a beauty contest winner. It is just as well not to have grand opera in summer. Lt wouldn’t seem natural without the coughs, anyway. Such are the marvels of the modern apothecary that one gets indigestion and bicarbonate of soda over the same counter. Preparing to formulate new notes, the Chinese may be persuaded to regard the typewriter as mightier than the machine gun. The United States seems to be pretty well satisfied that it has a good working debt agreement with Great Britain's reputation for paying the piper. "Is this your golf ball?” inquired the stranger, pointing to one hidden in the tall grass. “Yes,” sighed Diogenes, realizing that his search for an honest man had ended. A local insomniac claims to get the quickest relief by imagining he is sitting in a machine at a crossing and counting the cars of a slow freight as they drift through. Rises now a scientist to remark that there is a difference in the ways of apes and men when climbing trees. Come to think of it, there is. And isn’t science wonderful? According to Rudolph, who is not a dumb waiter, there are two kinds of husbands —those who have breakfast on the way to work and those who have it on the way home. The Pat-and-Mike dialogues are to be even brighter. The Irish Free State minister in Washington says, “By the live-stock breeding act, inferior types of bulls have been eliminated.” Hollywood is surprised and the vaudeville interests are amazed by Lindbergh’s demonstration that there is at least one person in the world who is not a little bit stage struck. Oh, of course it’s woman’s driving that is responsible for most of the motor crashes, but why is it that one so seldom hears of an accident in which the drivers of both cars are women ? A prominent ex-general now ttiinks the allies could have won the war without our intercession, which fits in with the theory that by 1935 some one will have discovered that America started it. “I’m sorry,” said the manager of the New York employment agency to a collection of out-of-work dramatists, psychologists and movie directors in his outer office, “but there isn’t any murder trial just now to report.” We shall forget that France once hissed our winning athletes, yet the average American much prefers to be hissed than kissed. If printing crime news encourages crime, as set forth in a current preachment, by the same token printing flood news encourages floods. The only time that a good citizen feels an average amount of sympathy for a bank bandit is after he wastes 30 minutes trying to talk a SIOO loan out of an assistant cashier. Preachers live longer than any other class, according to figures of a New York Insurance company. Lack of competition, probably. Russian farmers in Canada are to farm with camels. Hope they won’t have to walk a mile to get one when they start work at daybreak. The place to learn about longevity is in the pension office, where there are records of 16 widows of the war ©f 1812, no doubt helped somewhat by the union of January and May.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Round-the-World Aviators Abnijdon Flight Over Pacific Ocean. By EDWARD W. PICKARD HAVING “bucked a monsoon over India and a typhoon over Japan.” as Schlee and Brock, the Detroit worldcircling aviators, said, they arrived at a flying field near Tokyo and then yielded to the appeals of relatives and friends and abandoned their projected flight across the Pacific via the Mid way islands. They announced they would take an early boat for the United States and would have their monoplane shipped home. This decision was reached after a conference with aviation experts tn Tokyo and was Influenced by many cablegrams from America urging the flyers not to attempt the Pacific flight. Schlee’s children sent a message begging their father to think of them before making the perilous attempt. Anotlier factor was the lack of gasoline and oil on the Midway Islands. The aviators had expected supplies to be sent there by the American Navy department but Admiral Moffett in Washington denied he had promised this, saying he had no authority to use navy vessels in transporting private supplies. Though they fail In establishing a new record for speed in circling the globe, Schlee and Brock made one of the most successful of long distance flights. Starting from Harbor Grace, N. F„ on August 27, the Pride of Detroit had flown 12.275 miles when It landed near Tokyo on September 14. The aviators were delayed in Constantinople by governmental red tape, but had no other serious trouble until they undertook the hop from Shanghai to Tokyo. They ran right Into the typhoon that was sweeping over that region and were forced down near Omura, whence they made another hop to the naval flying field at Kasumigaura. The Japanese Intelligence police annoyed them exceedingly but everyone else there was helpful and considerate. Six hundred miles off the Newfoundland coast the steamer Kyle picked tip part of the wreckage of the plane Old Glory in which Bertaud, Hill and Payne undertook to cross the Atlantic. The condition of the wreckage gave little hope that the crew was still alive, but the search for the three men was continued. Parts of other planes were reported sighted off the Corwall coast and about 300 miles west of Halifax. N. S. It was thought these might be from the SL Raphael and Nungesser’s plane. Miss Ruth Elder and George Haldeman, who planned to fly from New York to Paris, despite the recent disasters, arrived at Roosevelt field with their plane and said they would start as soou as the weather was propitious. FIFTEEN balloons Started from Detroit in the annual race for the Gordon Bennett trophy, and the Detroit, polited by R. G. Hill, was declared the winner. It came down at Baxley, Ga., having traveled 725 miles. This was little more than half the distance record for the event, set by Bienaime of France in 1920. W. T. Van Orman with the Goodyear VI took second place. All the balloons landed safely. SIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN, British foreign secretary, told the League of Nations assembly flatly that Great Britain would sign no more security guarantee protocols because England could no longer speak for the dominions except as they authorize in specific cases. He thus revealed the extent to which the component parts of the British empire have assumed Independence. He admitted that the dominions are empowered if they like to make separate accords in the interest of preserving peace with other powers, and can accept the arbitration of The Hague court if they choose. Said Sir Austen: “There is no government of the Women in Government Service Poorly Paid The number and status of women in government service receiving $1,860 a year and over was thoroughly investigated by the United States Department of Labor last year. The report includes the service records of women employed In the District of Columbia and receiving salaries of $1,860 and over per annum on or prior to April, 1925, as well as th® records of all men employed in

British empire and we can only speak through the voices of six or seven governments. I occupy a league council seat as delegate of the British empire, but do you think as a representative of his majesty I can speak without consulting the members of the group forming the empire? I cun otdy speak when I have their assent to speak for them. “We can separate tire United Kingdom from the empire for negotiating a commercial treaty, hut supimse we signed a compulsory arbitration treaty and the dominions did not —where Is the unity of the empire—it does not exist.” Dr. Eusebio Morales. Panama delegate at Geneva, created a stir when he suggested that the dispute between his country and the United States over American sovereignty in the Canal zone might form a subject for arbitration before an Impartial court of Justice. Secretary of State Kellogg promptly announced that there is no question about the (’anal zone sovereignty and that, anyway, the League of Nations has nothing to do with the matter. At the State department it was said that there are no serious disputes between this government and Panama and that any differences of opinion will be easily adjusted. President Chiari of Panama then issued a statement in which he said: “Doctor Morales not only did not carry Instructions to take up the question In the league assembly, but my gov eminent absolutely disapproves of the reported procedure of the Panama delegate at Geneva regarding sovereignty over the Canal zone." Canada, Cuba and Finland were elected to nonperinanent seats in the league council. FRANCE recently put Into effect a new tariff that hit American exporters hard, and the Washington government made representations to Paris In reply the French foreign office set forth the French conception of reciprocity as the condition for entering upon fruitful negotiation of a tariff treaty. Nothing less than the present high rates in force are offered until the American reply to this note shall be received. When the United States re plies that the American government Is ready to begin such discussions, then the French government will substitute for the present scale a modified schedule, giving American goods considerably lower rates, but not up to the limit of those granted to countries with which France has commercial treaties, notably Germany. WHETHER or not to cal) special jongressional sessions was a problem on which President Coolidge spent considerable time immediately after bis return to Washington. Some persons have been urging that the senate be called together to deal with the Vare and Smith cases, and the Democrats want a special session of both houses to take up general legislation. Senator Curtis and Representative Tilson, Republican leaders of the respective houses, were consulted by Mr. Coolidge and both advised him that nothing would be accomplished by calling the senators and representatives back to Washington in advance of the regular session in December. It was believed the President would accept this advice. WL. MELLON, chairman of the • Republican state committee of Pennsylvania, is said to have carried to party leaders In Pittsburgh the word that his uncle, the secretary of the treasury, had selected Charles E. Hughes as his favorite candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. It was at once whispered about that the Pennsylvania delegation of 79 would be instructed for Hughes and that Secretary Mellon would be able to dictate the nomination by the convention. It was assumed that New York’s 91 votes would be for Hughes, and Mellon was said to count on New England as a certainty for his candidate. That, with what he might garner from other states, would give Hughes a running start in the balloting. Washington was immensely Interested in the Pittsburgh story. Secretary Mellon, however, seemed rather displeased by it and told interviewers that it was too early to make a decision on the matin positions of a similar nature. The executive establishments employed 15,777 women and 15,966 men in 1925. A little more than one-third of all employees in the establishments reviewed in their entirety received salaries of $1,850 and every 21 per cent receiving such salaries were women and 79 per cent were men. Os the 2,198 women receiving such salaries in these government establishments, almost two-thirds were In clerical, typing and stenographic positions, 8 per cent were engaged In accounting

ter of candidates. Mr. Hughes has refrained from comment on his possible candidacy. Al Smith In his campaign for the Democratic nomination is about to invade the West, or at least his supporters are. With tiie knowledge and consent of the Eastern Smith men, a conference of leading Democrats from 12 Western states was called for September 23 and 24 in Ogden, Utah, and it was understood the availability of Smith as a Presidential nominee would be discussed. The letter of invitation said the subjects to be considered would be: 1- The present two thirds rule prevailing in the Democratic national committee. 2—Who is tin* most available Presidential candidate? 3— The need of a united intermountain Democracy. 4 -More recognition of Western industries In our tariff legislation. J APAN and Mexico were visited by cataclysms, the former last week and the latter on September 7. The Japanese Island of Kiushiu was swept by u typhoon, tlood and tidal wave that killed and Injured many hundreds ami caused projs-rty losses of perhaps $10,000,000. Tlie tail of the storm hit Tokyo, ami thousands of homes were flooded. Delayed and still meager reports from Mexico said the west coast of that country for some 2.400 miles was devastated by terrific tidal waves following a hurricane. Walls of water rolled into seaport towns and laid them waste, ami all along the coast the people who survived were driven far inland. The number of those drowned, it was feared, would be very large. Guay mas. Manzanillo and e-jivcially Salina Cruz suffered great property losses. ISADORA DUNCAN’S bizarre life came to a bizarre end last week in Nice. The famous American dancer was being given a demonstration ride in a car she Intended to buy and a long red scarf, which she had worn since she became a communist, became entangled in the wheel. Her neck was broken, death being instantaneous. WITH Governor Jackson indicted and Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis on trial for political corruption, Indiana is getting the long expected expose which may result 1n a great house cleaning—and may not. The Indianapolis Times recently expressed editorially the opinion that Senators Watson and Robinson should resign because of their alleged relations with politicians whose honesty is attacked. Senator Robinson demanded a retraction and Editor Gurley retorted with new and more specific charges. These the senator denied, and threatened a libel suit. ON THE fourth anniversary of the liAeption of the military directorate of Spain under Gen. Primo de Rivera, a new development in that country’s government began. The directory was modified Into a semi-mili-tary ministry, but operated without a parliament. The place of parliament now is to he tilled by the long-prom-ised national assembly, convocation of which was decreed by King Alfonso at the request of Primo de Rivera. The assembly is expected to meet on October 14 for the primary purpose of advising the government on the draft of a new constitution and other matters of state, including the budget. The people will have no direct voice in the selection of the assembly members, all of whom are to be appointed by the government. Primo de Rivera has promised, however, to give all shades of public opinion a consulting voice, excluding only politicians of the old school, whom he ousted from their posts. AMERICAN LEGION members by the thousands were on the Atlantic last week on their way to Paris for the annual meeting which opened September 19. And the Paris authorities spent the week “cleaning up” the naughty resorts so the Yanks should come to no harm. The landing of the Legionnaires at Cherbourg was marked by elaborate ceremonies, and plans were made for a magnificent parade in Paris on the opening day, despite the fact that one or two radical organizations of French service men refused to participate. and auditing, and the remaining onefourth were scheduled in administrative, professional, scientific and special positions, in no one branch of which was there so large a proportion as 5 per cent. Os the women Included, only 35 received $3,600 or more, and only 10 had a salary as high as $5,200. In all the positions paying $1,860 or more in which women and men were employed, 45 per cent of the woman employees received just $1,860 a year, as compared with approximately 15 per cent of the men in like positions.

CHILDREN’S LUNCHES With vacation days over the lunch problem again confronts the mother

who has children who go some distance to school. The Importance of a good nourishing lunch is being better understood and appreciated. Many a dull pu-

3WS JI

pil Is often undernourished and not getting the right kind of food. Good health Is the first thing to look after in all children and proper food Is one of the most important factors in health. Plenty of fresh air and exercise are hard to get. The child should be started out in the morning with a nourishing, easily digested breakfast. A dish of good cooked cereal with top milk or thin cream, a piece of toast or a muffin with an egg will stay by him until noon. Hot milk in cold weather, cocoa occasionally, but coffee or tea never. For luncheon when possible a hot drink or hot soup witli sandwiches and a bit of fruit. Lack of appetite In the morning is often the result of sleeping in poorly ventilated rooms or keeping too late hours. A child from five to twelve should sleep at least nine or ten hours. The food for growing children should be easy of digestion. The habit of many mothers is to warm the milk with a little coffee. Those who have studied the subject tell us that such a drink causes fermentation in the stomach and of course the coffee itself Is a stimulant and highly Injurious to a child. Highly seasoned foods and condiments should never be given to the growing child They unduly excite the digestive juices arid upset the stomach. Variety In the lunch basket is a helpful thing. Children tire of the same things. Tuck tn a little surprise as often as possible; all these tilings aid the npiwtite. The child’s luncheon should be planned for and put up as carefully, as a grown person’s lunch. Have It as dainty and attractive as possible. The packing of a daily lunch is not a small task. Use plenty of cheap paP<t napkins and waxed paper to separate the foods and keep them dainty. Small cups and plates of paper can be bought wry cheaply, so that it aids In making the lunch easier to serve and also lighter to carry. A dessert of tapioca with any good fruit is always n good one for the children and one which they will enjoy. Ways With Peas. Peas are among our most nutritious vegetables. Belonging to the proteins

they take the place of meat in the diet. Green Pea Scup.—Take one pint of green peas, a quart of stock (chicken is best), a small

\U^

bunch of parsley—mint if liked, two tablespoonfuls of butter and a teaspoonful of salt. Cook all together and put through a sieve, then reheat. Season with butter, salt and pepper and serve hot. Pea Souffle. —Cook a pint of peas until soft, put them through a sieve, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, a pint of milk, the yolks of three eggs. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake twenty minutes. Salmon and Pea Salad.—Flake a can of salmon, removing the skin and bones. Take an equal amount of cooked peas and mix well with tiie salmon. Serve on lettuce with a boiled dressing to which a sour pickle has been added, chopped into bits. Combination Salad.—Take one cupful of peanuts cut into bits, two cupfuls of peas, one-half cupful of olives, a bit of chopped onion and mayonnaise dressing witli seasoning of salt and pc pper. Peas and Peppers.—Take the tops from six even sized green peppers, remove the seeds and soak in strong brine overnight. Moisten with the liquor from a can of peas, fill the shells with one-half cupful of minced meat, one cupful of peas, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, a little onion juice, salt and pepper to taste. Bake until the peppers are tender. When green peas are not obtainable, the split dried pea makes a most satisfactory soup. Soak the peas overnight and cook them in the same water with a good-sized piece of salt pork. (’ook for three or four hours, then put through a sieve or serve unsifted. An onion and a stalk of celery add to the flavor of the soup. Creamed peas served round a steamed salmon loaf makes a fine dish. Cook the salmon loaf in a small bread pan, turn out on a hot piatter and pour the peas around the loaf. Peas with peanuts and chopped sour pickles, adding a good dressing, makes a piquant salad, well liked. Power Stored by Dams The value of dams to power users is Illustrated by the fact that the huge Dix river dam in Kentucky stores enough water to generate 25,000,000 kilowatt-hours of electric energy even if there were no more rainfall to replenish the water supply. Mutable Cloud Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.—Emerson.

JERSEY FOR SCHOOL AND SPORTS; SHAWL-COLLARS ON FALL COATS

IT’S jersey cloth here and jersey cloth there and jersey cloth everywhere in the daytime mode for fall. If the jersey be not in solid color, then it is striped, and if it happen to be not striped then the dressmaker or the couturier conjures a stripe effect by sewing bands of various colors together. If not the stripe theme, then a modish compose is achieved in the way of contrasting insets of jersey Introduced at the waistline of the frock. Which goes to show that there is anything but sameness recorded by the present jersey vogue. The new tweed jersey is decidedly “good

Jersey three-piece costumes figure prominently in the Paris sports mode for fall. These are fashioned somewhat in this wise: A deep wine jersey skirt and sleeveless cardigan to match with a rose shade jumper; a jersey cardigan buttoning over a blouse of jersey made sweater style and gaily yarn-embroidered, the skirt being plaited just as if it were silk or satin. That is one of the interesting things about the mode this season, it plaits anything and everything with-

? S S’ [ / A CLOTH COAT LAVISHLY FURRED out regard to whether it be jersey, ■ velvet, satin or cloth. Jersey for school wear is ideal, and the stores are showing the most likable models that the artistry of the stylist can produce. The cunningest ; sort of jersey dresses are featured for children, such as a model in two tones i trimmed with wee cutout felt flowers, ; also a toast-colored jersey with gay bouquets done in wool yarn, or a more I Wet-Weather Ensembles Most wet-weather ensembles are as depressing as the weather, which is, after all, quite wrong. What the clever woman wears is something that will bring a touch of color to otherwise drab surroundings. Marcels Marcels have not the strangle-hold on the imagination that they formerly had, and often a smart coiffeur shows pimply a small wave, or a few round curls, or no wave at aIL

conventional pattern embroidery in peasant color and design. Two attractive frocks of jersey are shown here. The one to the left displays a cluster of side plaits to the left front of the skirt. The collar and cuffs are piped with crepe de chine and the small breast pocket is embroidered to match the crepe. The other dress stresses inverted kick plaits in the skirt. The collar is adjustable to either high-button style or open. These winsome frocks are designed tn all the newest colorings. Furred more lavishly than ever, ^-. . Is tiie style message brought by autumn’s advance guard of cloth coat

fashions. The latest whim of tha mode is to contrast light cloth, prefer- । ably the new pale browns and toast ■ shades, or beige, with an enrichment of dark fur, as defined by the model in the picture. This handsome coat also declares that shawl collars are “in” again. Multitudes of the newer coats bear testimony to its return to favor. Even fur coats are shawl-collared this sea- ’ son. There is also much emphasis placed ; on side fastenings, in proof of which the coat illustrated bears witness. Another new “wrinkle” in the matter of styling is the intricate manipulation of underarm seamwork and tucks.

Square-rule slot tucks are skillfully introduced at the sides of the coat pictured. The importance of this underarm fashioning cannot be overstated. Sometimes clusters of sunburst tucks are arranged in connection with the side seaming, again graduated tucks iu tiers "do the trick." As to fabric, autumn mode discriminates in no uncertain terms between the sports coat ami the coat for dressy occasions. Sturdy fabrics like tweed and cheviot and Scotch woolens in fascinating novelty patternings are assigned exclusively to the sports mode, with the very soft finishes, such as "kitten's ear” broadcloth, suede cloths and notably velvet, as selected mediums for the dressier coats. A charming play is being made on clever linings. Applique and embroidery in elaborate design enliven the new linings. Exotic birds spread their brilliantly stitched wings across these linings, to be revealed whenever the coat is thrown back. There is an interesting sidelight thrown on cloth cloakings which simulate fur. These are being accepted by the "best people" this season. Black broadtail cloth is especially favored for ensembles and coats. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©, 1927. Western Newspaper Union ) New Scarf The designers have not yet exhausted all their efforts in regard to shawls, as proved by a striking one seen recently. It was made of sapphire blue silk and embroidered with large red roses. Old-Time Embroidery Petit point embroidery became popular during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries. It was much practiced in France, where it was known as "au petit point.”
