IA SHIONS

There seems to, be a revival of
colored Innings for sheer gowns.
Heavy corded MORE is a mater
ial that will be much seen this fall.
An innovation of the season is
the use of mousseline ruching to
finish silk gowns.
T he temperance Of the flOunced
dress is one of the novelties of the
moment.
Cloaks of the moment are much
on the same lines as those of SO
years ago. .....
Trimmings of sable blackness
are again to figure conspicuously
on nearly everything.
Huge cut jet barrettes are being
worn and are particularly effective
upon blond heads.
Some of the huge turban shaped
hats of soft material are studded
with jewels or with jet.
Bengaline and MORE promise to
be great favorites in the winter
coStuming.

THE CHEWING GUM TRUST
WORKS SPOKANEITES OVER7ZN1

and it was noticed that chewing
gum is a science, just the same as
any other trade. One party would
chew straight upon down three
times, then shift the cud with a
side motion the same as a COW
and make 1t snap singerly. OF
course the noise of mastication was
not disturbing in the least.
A very interesting scene was en-
acted on the corner of Riverside
avenue and Howard street the
Fothr day. Two young girls met,
both chewing gum for dear life. At
q distance II looked as though each
was trying to out tai kthe other,
but on closer Investigation 1t was
discovered that they were merely
chewing gum. The working of
their inferior maxillaries did not
seem to disturb their conversation
In the least, and they talked stead
lily for Is minutes without losing
stroke, except to shift the gluey
substance to the other side of their
mouth. Let us get into the band
wagon and ride. and join the chew
ing gum brigade.

A girl will never propose to a
man when there are so many cas-

The remarkable thing about a
woman is that she can bring up not

When a man thinks he's the real
head of the family, he's intellect

The funny thing abotu a man
who is easily bored is that he
doesn't seem to realize that is the

go to base ball game, that's the

THE HUMAN RACE.
Will Man Simply Shrink on the Fac
OF the Earth?

viii Man Simply Shrink on the eaes
OF the Earth?
A French statistician who has been
studying the military and other rec
ords with a view Of determining the
height Of men at different periods has
reached some wonderful results.
He has not only solved some per-
picking problems In regard to the past
Of the human race. but is also enabled
to calculate its future and to deter
mine the exact period when man will
disappear from the earth.
The recorded facts extend over near
~ three centuries.
1t is found that in 1910 the average
height Of man in Europe was 1.75 me-
tiers, or. say, ave feet nine inches. In
1890 1t was Eve feet six inches. In
1920 1t was FIVE feet i've inches and q
fraction. At the present time 1t IL
I'VE feet three and three-quarter inches.
1t is easy to deduce from these figures
a rate of regular and gradual decline
in human stature and then apply this
working backward and forward, to the
past and to the future. By this calcu-
lation It II determined that the stature
Of the first men attained the surpris
ing average OF sixteen feet nine inches
Truly, there were giants on the earth
in those days. The race had already
deteriorated In the days OF Og, and
Goliath was 4 quite degenerate Oh
spring Of the giants. Coming down t.
later time, we ind that at the begin
ming OF our era the average height Of
man was nine feet. and in the time Of
Chariemagne It was eight feet eight
inches. But the most astonishing re
suit Of this scientific study comes from
the application Of the same inexorabl<
law Of diminution to the future. The
calculation shows that by the veal
1000 A. D. the stature Of the average
man viii be reduced to ffteeA inches
At that epoch there win be only lini
putians on the earth. And the con
clusion of the learned statistician 4
irresistible that "the end Of the world
will certainly arrive. for the inhabit
ants will have become 20 small thai
they will finally disappOr'-"hnish By
disappearing" as the French idiom ex
presses it-"from the terrestrial globe.
