What would they do to this Ouafl, the runner, if he happened to win out of turn? Os course, the women spread a good deal of gossip, and they get much of it from the men. The sovereign voters of Massachusetts have approved Sunday baseball or whatever it is they play. The next thing the farmers will be asking for is relief from the advice that comes to them over the radio. “Going fishing” is an old device frequently employed by men who wish to get away to themselves and think hard. Something else the old timers did not receive when they bought a new horse was free service for six months or a year. Rumors circulate to the effect that one of our most eminent aviators Is in love. An aviator, wings and all, is only human. The cold bath fiend has had a little trouble in the last day or two describing his fortitude, due to a nasty touch of laryngitis. What has become of the girl who used to ride around on the back of a motor cycle—the one who bounced off occasionally? Who can remember when the bulk of the large stone crocks in the basement were occupied by home-made salt-water pickles? Turkish women have abandoned their veils, without promise of any great change of results in next summer's beauty shows. Our position is that no able-bodied man should expect a check room girl to help him into an overcoat that weighs more than the girl. “The act of speaking calls into operation 44 different mjscles.” Occasionally it can be made attractive by calling in the brain. It is reported there are fewer chestnuts this year than in any previous year on record, and some of the worms may have to double up. We seem gradually to be working around to the point where calling the doctor in the first place is as economical as a daily apple. Young Westinghouse’s scheme for tick eradication, of which so much is said nowadays, in dairy sections, would be to oil the clock. Some women become quite successful as poets, while others go through life without ever having to write out their middle names in full. The wife who complains that her husband’s disposition is “very depressing”. ought to have given him the barometer test before she married him. A fossil, said to' be six million years old. has been unearthed in central Asia. Now we know the origin of the “old stuff” credited to political speakers. Overheard in a theater lobby: “What is that loud, excruciating sound?” “Oh, that’s the case waiter in the talking picture jingling his tips.” Another great truth, established by almost every husband at some time in his experience, is that a breakfast nook is a little too cozy for five-hand-ed poker. Back - home when you said “artist” i everybody knew you meant the fellow ; who drifted through now and then with a proposition to make crayon enlargements. Assuming that flies, parsnips, weevils, etc., have a place in the scheme of things or they wouldn’t be here, we still are vague about the utility of caper sauce. The big Zeppelin was sold before it crossed the ocean. This fact makes it an example of modern progress not only in air travel, but in high power salesmanship. Sometimes it is hard to tell how much a three-year-old knows, as in the case wlnye she remarks to her mother. “Papa shoveled some black stones into the furnace.” The London Standard explains that “lady” is derived from an old English word signifying dough-kneader. Not dough-needer. by any chance? “I don't see how 1 can popularize this new model of mine.” remarked the famed Parisian costume designer, “if nobody will call it ridiculous.” The Information Editor, inured as he is to the vagaries of human nature, was surprised the other day to he asked to imitate a certain bird call over the telephone. Whatever became of the old-fash-ioned clever fellow at the party who got mandolin effects by laying a sheet of music across the piano strings? Thomas Jefferson hitched his horse to a tree while being sworn to his duties as President. This time the President will park his automobile.

I HOW TO LIVE I | LONGER | X I Y A X By 4 £ JOHN CLARENCE FUNK X v A POOR SERVITOR \X7HEN parts of a machine intend ’ * ed for action are permitted to remain inactive, neilher the machine nor the parts are benefited. Most things made for use must be used if an approach to satisfactory eftici ency is to be expected. This law is so generally recognized that to men tion it appears Irite. Why then state the obvious? For the sufficient reason that people who are willing to recognize this princi pie respecting everything else, are not willing to admit that it applies In a very particular and important way to their own bodies. Unfortunately the luxury and ease in present-day civilization is not aP roses. There are penalties too. And those leading a sedentary and inac tive life are particularly susceptible to one of the most general of them. Consider for a moment the amount of assistance the alimentary tract re ceives in its functioning by the mus cular action involved in sawing wood digging ditches, plowing fields or any other kind of physical labor that makes more than drawing-room demands upon the body. Indeed, when our forefathers actu ally made their living by the sweat of their brow sluggishness in the process of eliminating waste body products was reduced to a minimum There was too much natural action to permit such a condition to develop. But in these days it is quite dis ferent. Food is taken in. and the ma chine is not put into action. Conse quently the alimentary canal cannot perform its vitally important duty. It more or less goes to sleep. Constipa tion results. Advice on this subject already covers volumes. But when the whole problem is reduced to its hare facts only three factors are worth serious thought. Number one. exercising the body so as to arouse the sluggish colon; number two the formation of regular habits by training the body to respond at a definite time; num ber three, the daily consumption of roughage such as bran, spinach, string beans, cabbage and other fibrous vegetables. Above all else, do not become a laxative fiend. It is not nature’s way. Consequently it is harmful, even dangerous sometimes One can afford to be a fanatic on this subject, for if the alimentary system is put in smooth running or der and kept there many of the more important of life’s shortening proc esses will be eliminated. And that’s what you are after, aren’t you? NATURE’S OWN THERE are few, if any, foods that are so perfectly qualified to be food as is milk. Os all sources of nutrition this product is the only one designed by nature for the sole and express purpose of creating and main taining energy in animal life. Time was when the use of plain milk was largely limited to infants and invalids. Os course one's week ly plate of ice cream tn the summer time, and its employment in cooking gave it a certain by-product stand ard. But as a distinct and separate food factor it was very weak indeed Today, either alone or as used In ice cream or milk shake, millions of gal lons of this life-giving and most Im portant food are being consumed by the American public. And much to their advantage. Fat people of course do not need much milk. But the majority ot grownups cannot make any mistake by using a pint of milk daily in some form. If one is fond of drinking it straight, then do so If this is not particularly appetizing then bury it in soups, puddings and Ice cream The main thing to remember in this connection is to get it. even if it tends to add somewhat to one’s i weight. To overcome this, cut down ! slightly on the starch foods However, milk is nor all there Is to rhe question. To do one good rhe milk must be good and pure and fresh Raw milk from tuberculin test ed cows that are milked under prop er sanitary conditions Is excellent Properly pasteurized is also good and is 'perfectly safe It Is well however to consider rhe plant from which you purchase your milk. Pick a safe dairy. All milk looks alike—good. indifferent and deadly. Appearances therefore mean nothing. Rely on your local health officer on this important point He knows the conditions of the respective plants and will inform you if you ask him. Carelessness on your part should not he permitted—the price for it may he disease. A good rule to follow is to use as much care in selecting the : milk supply for yourself as von would for an infant Then drink to and | for your health ! <©. 1929 Western Newspaper Union.) The Great Failure What is the great failure? There i are many kinds of failure. Perhaps ' there is none more serious, more fun ; damental than the failure to assume I the leadership of which yon are capa । hie. Until indifference and mental I laziness are eradicated, the human be j ing is hardly worth the room he occti pies.—Grove Patterson, in the Mobile Register.

PRINTED CREPE DE CHINE; CHENILLE DOTTED FABRICS M .Ju W* , x

THE woman who makes her own ’ simpler frocks, has a happy surprise awaiting her in the way of suitable and fascinating materials. We have in mind the new crepe de chines which take on the coloring and patterning of gay cretonnes. Cretonnes, because of their hand- J some colorings and striking designs have always held a fascination for most of us. Lacking, however, the sheerness and suppleness of silk and carrying with them the flavor of mere drapery material, they did not quite qualify as desirable media for other than sports apparel. There is a real treat In store for the seeker of “something different” in the way of silks, in that certain enterprising designers have eliminated the “ifs” concerning cretonne ns a suitable dress material. That is, by “putting two and two together" or rather adding the silkiness and sup pleness of crepe de chine to the col orfulness and designfulness of ere tonne, a happy union has been effect ed. And so it is that a charming series of silk prints are this season available which are Just the thug for gay little afternoon frocks. Just to show you how attractively these silken cretonne prints work up. we are illustrating our story with a picture of a cunning model made of a strictly new crepe de chine in point of coloring and design. It features a

high waistline effect, with a shirred girdle which ties at the back. The bands which trim it are of blue taffeta silk. Striking originality Is the keynote of most all of the advance silk prints In many instances, modern art themes form the basis of highly decorative patternings. Large cubes and coni cal shapes, zigzag lines and various forms are worked into masses ot shaded colors with thrilling effect. Among outstanding types are silks which adopt pen lines or etching de signs. Because of the fineness of lines, the patterns take on an exqris Ite delicacy which is a welcome change from the more massive effects of solid coloring. “My party dress is of tulle all dotted with chenille” —could Miss Modern peep within the pages of grandma’s diary which she kept in her youthful days, she might find these very words written in the pages of the long ago—which would be the more interesting because the penduSeparate Blouse and Skirt For the first time in many years the separate blouse and skirt are given an important place in the feminine wardrobe. This year it is considered very chic to wear a sharply contrasting blouse and skirt. Some of these skirts are made for tuck-in blouses, others are mounted upon linings. Slippers of Lame Lovely evening sandals with one strap, are made of lame, with colored threads woven in with the gold ones.

\ ! y \ / M X M s ■ 1 In Colorful Cretonne Patterning I lum of present day fashion has swung I back to chenille dotted fabrics. Not only tulle but materials of all sorts with chenille dots are “in" again. Seeing that la l’arlsicntie Is express Ing n special fondness for black andwhite effects, it is not surprising that the gown pictured Is right In line with this vogue. The tiers on the skirt stress that sprightly flare which Is indicative of the new tn nd. The scarfing of the shoulder in billowy tulle is also expressive of that which । Is latest. Speaking of color, among handsome I new fabrics for the coming season, * are many chiffons in street si id< s with chenille dots In self tones. the dots grading from large nt the sel- ' vedge to small tit ti e opposite sde of the wide border A beige georgette, for instance, with matching chenilli dots, makes up effectively for after noon w ear.

various chenille-dotted fabrics in burgundy or navy, or any of the new blues from navy to marine, also green in its many phases is a universal favorite. Browsing around in voguish places one discovers that chenille is playing a fashionable role in more ways than one. There’s shoulder flowers, for in stance, very chic ones are of chenille. I.ike huge chrysanthemums are they, their supple petals falling in graceful lines. You can buy them in an exact matching shade to your chiffon, vei vet or satin gown, and they are even more popular for daytime than for evening wear. Chenille embroidery Is also lending charm and a note of elaboration to many a hat or gown or blouse. Mo dish millinery also features the che-nille-crocheted hat. The beret, cro dieted or chenille is especially cited at this time. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. <©. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) The Jersey Blouse For various sporting events the jersey blouse to accompany the tweed suit is smarter than that of silk or the sweater. An attractive model in English red, green, French blue, beige or gray has a round neck and side lacings at throat and hip.

Tar Keeps Rats Away A small quantity of tar of the sort that is used by roofers for closing seams will effectively drive rats away from their lairs under porches and similar projections. The tar is simply coated on the inside of the holes done by the rats, and if periodically ap plied will result in the disappearance of the pests. Overworked The best way to avoid being over worked is to attend strictly to you! own business.

?ay Roll Simple in Italian Rice Fields A customary preliminary to harvest, time, which begins in early September in Italy’s rice-growing center surrounding the city of Alessandria, in the Piedmont, is that the fanners and peasants arrange for wages and other labor matters. Last year the respective syndicates of workers and growers reached an agreement based on “compensation by nature” or emolument in kind. No money to the worker; he shall be paid with rice. Thus peasant lads from fourteen to fifteen years of age receive 17^ pounds of rice a day. those from fifteen to sixteen earn 23 pounds a day. and boys from sixteen to seventeen years get 35 pounds. Girls from fifteen to sixteen earn 20 pounds of rice for the eight-hour day. while the women s stipend is 2G’g pounds. Should a laborer insist on cold cash, the grower will be troubled with [ the necessity of utilizing his arithj metic. For he must take the number , of pounds the worker is entitled to I and multiply it by the current market ■ price, which is about 3 cents a pound. — Tale of a Pig’s Tail i “There’s pig sense for you.” asserted J. Schneider of Winsted, Conn., after relating the following pig-apple I story: The pig was confined in a pen of which an apple tree made one of the posts. Investigation of its peculiar actions disclosed that the pig obtained apples which fell close to the outside of the pen by sitting on its haunches with its back against the fence and. passing its tail under the fence, would feel mound until it located an apple. The animal would then allow its tail to curl about the apple and would work its body forward, bringing the j fruit under the fence into the pen. Mrs. Bell Tells Her Friends of Her Narrow Escape “Something over a year ago I had the Hu. which left me with a very bad cough which kept getting worse all j the time, until I could not lie down at night. If I attempted to lie down I would cough all night and choke up so I would have to sit up in bed.

Sunlight in Every Light Fundamental studies in biophysics indicate that sunlight has definite effect on tissue specialization and may bear some relationship to nervous stability. Major prophets in this field predict a future when the sunlight—the ultraviolet rays lost to man when he came indoors—will glow from every incandescent bulb. They predict a brownskinned race of men with a much more stable nervous system, less given to emotional upsets and thereby less susceptible to the degenerative diseases.—Morris Fishbein in the Yale Review. Denotes Concealed Evil “There is something rotten in Denmark.” is said of a concealed evil. Thousands of persons use this saying continually without having the least suspicion as to its source. It is based on a passage in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” In the fourth scene of the first act of that play Marcellus, an officer of the watch, says to Hamlet’s friend Horatio: “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” The remark was made after Hamlet followed the ghost of his father from the platform before the castle. Will Cold Worry You This Winter? Some men throw-off a cold within a few hours of contracting it. Anyone can do it with the aid of a simple compound which conies in tablet form, and is no trouble to take or to always have about you.

Geyser May Yield Power Some day scientists believe the power developed by live steam tapped from the Sonora county geyser district in California will be enough to light all the towns and cities in the state and run all its street cars, trains and factories. The big problem is to draw off the steam and harness it to power units Dr. E. T. Allen, of the Carnegie institute, has had six wells drilled 20<> to 500 feet deep, one ot which delivers 50.000 pounds of steam an hour. The roar of the escaping steam can be heard for miles. —Capper's Weekly. Sign Language Weddings The first double wedding of its kind was celebrated at Allentown. Pa., when four deaf mutes were married. The otliciating clergyman was assisted by Edward W.

All questions and responses at tl e wedding were in the • -igu language. New Platinum Source Meta! experts in South Africa have announced the development of a process for the extraction of platinum from certain kinds of sulphide ores, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The experiments show that about 75 per cent of the platinum content of the original ore is saved, and the process is applicable to commercial production at a reasonable cost, the engineers declare.
