STILL UNCONSCIOUS
MR.. WALTER LEDFoRD'S CON-
DIrION HAS NOT IMPROVED.

Mr.. Walter Ledford, the collector
for the Paducah Loan 90. who fell or
stepped from a car at Thirteenth and
Broadway Friday night and struck on
his head, is still in a serious condition
in his room over Bloomfield & Crice's
Office. He has never been rational
since the accident, and it is not yet
known whether he fell or attempted
to get of without stopping the car.
At times he appears to be conscious,
but his wild talk shows that he has
not recovered his reason.

HOW WOMEN CARRY MONEY.

Women have a constant fear Of being
robbed Of their money and as a conse-
quence exercise their ingenuity in DIS
covering places in which they can con.
ceal it about their person in places
where a thief would never think of
looking for IT,
The most common place for a
woman to carry greenbaoks il in her
stockings. Since the days when Ewes
daughters began to wear this article
Of dress 1t has been favcrite safe de-
posit vault. IL is safe TO say that
three out of every ten shoppers 10 a
department store will have a little
roll Of money tucked away in her
stocking, and when she decides 70
make large purchase she will seek a
secluded spot and dive down for the
money.
When a woman is calling she usually
carries a little change in her card
case, especially If she is Obliged to
ride on the street cars. II she il
travelling she wears a tiny chamois
skin bag about her neck for the pur-
pose of Safeguarding her money and
jewels. The glove is favorite place
for carrying money, especially on Sun
day, when the hands are busy taking
care OF prayer book and the train of
Sunday-go-to-meeting gown. The
little space between the glove and the
palm OF the hand holds Just enough
for the Offering and car fare. The
schoolgirl carries her change wrapped
up in the corner of her handkerchief.
There il remains until noontime or
recess, when she unties the knot and
buys her lunch, candy, chewing gum
or lead pencil.

ings. A petticoat pocket often is used
by women for their vsluables. They
know this pocket is an impossible
tling to lind and would as soon think
of having the garment made without
a band as without POCKET.
Many girls wear little finger purses
and tiny silver bags suspended from
chains to carry their change. A
bracelet purse of leather or silver is
worn by the fad-loving maiden, but
no one would ever suspect that there
was money in it. Perhaps the girl
who carries her car fare in her mouth
is the least common of all, but she
exists.
