Advertising Depicting Women Clothed h Circus Tights Calls Forth Criticism. Talk of Hold ing Mass Meetings to Protest

Pensacola, Fla. Feb. 7--fspeclai)--- Talk of holding mass meetings and claiming that the advertising being sent out by the Pensacola Carnival As sociatfon ts somewhat improper, owing to the figures in 1t not containing enough clothing. is being indulged in by some in Pensacola. who have possi- ply taken offenss at the advertising matter whioh is being spread broad the carnival. E
 The special class of advertising to which objections are being made ts that which is being placed on bill boards and in newspapers depicting e lady clothed in "circus tights" Certain persons of exceeding modesty object to advertising Pensacola as exhibiting such as is shown in the advertising. The advertising committees. upon being given the power and fund this year. proceeded to expend the funds in what It termed a legitimate manner and se- curing the services of an artist had soms designs drawn for newspaper and bill board advertising. which has evi- dently not met with the approval of some tu this city.
 TsIls of calling in the sAvert,. ing has ne, with stout dsniai uran the pars of Chairman Frank L. Mayes, of the committee, who said today:
 Certainly we will not call in that advertising. Those advertisements have all gone out and we could not call them in # we would. But. in this case we would not if we could. The people who are criticising those nict- urss simply don't know what they are talking about. The pictures are excei- lent examples of advertising art, and as for clothes---you don't have to dress in Equimo costume to keep warm in Florida either winter or summer. The Carnival Association told ms they wanted sifnething snappy, attractive and little out of the ordinary, sub init that these pictures are calculated to i'll all of these requirements and aa far as I am concerned. they will stand just as they are" s <

DAILY BATH FOR CLEANLINESS.
Weekly Addition Of Our Ancestor:
No Longer Suffices.

Inere IS many man or woman
who would be Mortified to be told
that he or she falls short of cleanli-
ness, yet such is the case even when
one prides herself on personal dain-
tiness
You cannot be clean If you do not
take at least one bath each day. II
that seems like harsh judgment try
going for two days without a bath,
then wipe off the skin with cold
cream. The condition of that cloth
is an unpleasant revelation.
The daily bath need not be in q
tub, but it should be more than the
British cold sponge that with many
does duty for cleanliness. Cold water.
no matter how invigorating, does not
remove SOIL
A bath to be cleansing should con-
sist of plenty of hot water-soft. if
possible-a pure soap and a scrubbing
brush, and plenty of friction in dry
ing. Cold water may be used later
as a spray or tonic, but the warm
bath is essential
1t is doubly necessary, if one lives
in cities, that care is paid to bathing.
The CRIME of the big town is not only
distiguring, it is germ-laden, and every
effort should be made to keep free
of it.
In addition to the daily bath one
should be particular to wash the face
ears and neck, and under the arms
each time she dresses. The hands, az
most of us know to our sorrow, neec
scrubbing dozen times day.
1t is folly, as is so often done, tt
point to our ancestors weekly bat1
and superb strength. Times have
changed and SO have ideals of clean
liness, acd the person who takes two
baths week these days is ashamed
to have it found out.

BAR PINS STILL ARE POPULAR.
Dress Accessory Of Which Seemingly
There Cannot Be Too Many.

There is no diminution in the popu-
larity of the bar pin. 1t is used for
collars, for the stock and for jabots.
Every girl needs as many as she can
get. She wants them in sets of col
ored stones to match the color scheme
Of her various costumes, and she wants
them in different sizes for different
uses.
AS far as the fashions go, she can
not have too many. Therefore, the
manufacturers are bringing them out
anew in all kinds of lovely shapes and
settings.
The horseshoe has been run to the
ground and few of the new ones are in
this shape. Lovely as the bowknot
was it did not become widely popular
in semi i-precious stones. The straight
bar has always been an excellent in
vestment, especially in three sizes.
The new bar pin used to catch the
lower edges of the turnover collar and
the jabot under it is in the shape of a
new moon. The crescent is slight in
its curves, it is not wide even at the
center, it's ends are sharp.

Dainty Lace BIouses.

der. Sometimes from four to six tucks
are sufficient for each of the fronts,
while the sleeves, broadly tucked from
shoulder to wrist, are finished with
net ruche harmonizing with the jabot
which relieves the front panel. More
elaborate net blouses are combina.
tions of tucks with cluny, venise, imi-
tation Irish or Italian lace. On these
blouses broad bands of lace are let
into the shoulders from collar to sleeve

A Simple Guest Room.

The very simplest guest room that
any one could imagine! The floor had
on it gray rag carpet. The walls
were covered with a plain gray paper,
and a black moulding joined them to
the ceiling. The narrow, old-fashioned
woodwork of window and door sills
made streaks of black, in keeping
with the molding above. The hang
ings were gray Japanese crepe.
Many tones of quiet grays," as said
the poet; but they served to throw
into relief odd bits of blue and yellow
Moorish pottery and a row of blue
books. The books were the. point of
the whole gray scheme of things, for
the hostess had covered them all in
blue holland linen and had titled the
backs on small yellow pastors.

ITO the' Commissioner Of Immigrat
ton, Winnipeg, Manitoba:-Dear Sir:
I, in company with my brother and.
other relations, arrived in this coup-
try IN the spring Of 1929. At the time
we got of the train at Wolseley, Sask.,
we had only a few dollars, not enough
to start farming on our own account;
so we were compelled to work out for
a considerable time in order to- make:
sufficient money to enable US to sess
We had enough money to start with,, I
and my brother took up one quarter
section (160 acres) land each in the
Loon Greek district. In 1900 we moved
on our hom&steads with one team Of
horses and one walking plow. While
I was engaged with the work in the
field, my brother built a shack and
barn of logs, which we have hauled
during the time we were not able to
work in the field. We were certainly.
working very hard, but am glad: to
say that we made our fortune in this
country. To-day we do not need to
work SO hard as we used to, as we
have three men hired steady Tor
whom we pay $4,000 to $4,000 d month,
besides board and lodging during the
summer time! am also glad to tell
you that to-day we are owners of
section and, three-quarters of the best
land, with first class buildings thereon,
besides having: all the necessary ma
chinery: We always: do our own

hood of $4,000. .
Regarding raising grain, which is
the main factor in our district, l am
proud to say that we have always
had good success. We have raised
wheat as high as IS bushels to the
acre; and this year, although we suf-
fered from lack of sufficient rain, our
wheat went 27 bushels to the acre,
and we had 900 acres in crop. We
have broken this year about 100 acres
new land, and by next year we will
have about LILO acres in crop. For
one carload of wheat which we have
shipped few weeks ago we got a
price of 81 cents per bushel, and it
graded as No. Northern, although we
have quantity of wheat which will
surely go as No. / Northern. During
the six years we have been farming
for ourselves we have never had one
frost around here, so that we always
had good crop.
II, for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West is the land where
person who is willing to work and
trun his hands to anything, can make
fortune, and comfortable living.
Our country is thoroughly free coun-
try, and we have a good Government;
and, as long as we have good crops,
and good Government, we are satis-
fled, and 1 think that is all we want.
