The members of the legislative bod

lating the size of womens hats. the

from Missouri milliner, who needs
to be shown that men, especially leg
lslators, have not lost that old-time
gallantry that used to lie accorded
women by gentlemen:
The men are always fussing about
what we women wear. don thinl,
us anybody's business, so long as
our clothes and hats are modest.
What do you suppose we are in bust
ness for? Styles must change in hat
pins as well as in hats themselves.

around we would have to close up
shop. | suppose they're a lot of old.

TO CLEAN A STRAW HAT.


To clean a straw hat in the easiest
way, mix cornmeal to a thick paste
with a strong solution of oxalic acid
and water. Rub paste well into
the straw, and let dry, then brush
out the meal.
Hats which have been sunbmned
must be bleached with sulphur. Re-
move the trimmings or hat band, and
tack the hat to the bottom of a wood
en- tub, barrel or Lox. Then invert the
box over dish containing burning
sulphur.
Lemon juice and powdered sulphur
make an excellent combination for
cleaning white straws. Brush the
dust from the hat, rub it with stiff
brush dipped in lemon juice, then
in sulphur, and then once more
with lemon juice. Brush it clean,
then dry in hot sun.
Chlorine water and oxalic acid are
the bleaching agents found in most
of the 1O-cent cleaners put up by
druggists.

Bags and belts this season have

they are.

general favorites.
The fiat straw hat, something like
a glorified pancake, so popular this

HAVE YOU NEuRIrls2

This seems to be a neuritis age.
Almost every woman you meet is
holding out her arm and telling of
the pain it gives her.
1t is small comfort that we bring
these pains on ourselves by our way
of living. What we want to know is
how to get rid of our discomfort.
The surest time to do this is at the
first twinge. Neglected neuritis is
acute agony that may not yield to re-
NEEDLES through long years.
The first thing to be done is to go
easy. Stop rushing. Let up on your
round of engagements. Cut bridge,
even the care of your children for a
part of the day, anything to give you
a long rest.
Live more in the open air but do
not make the mistake of over-exercis-
ing. Your nerves need rest, not ex-
element.
Eat simple foods for dyspepsia is
bad on nerves, and neuritis is a nerve
disease.
Stop worrying. Learn to let things
slide and cultivate optimism
Take daily massage. If you can
not afford it get someone in your fam
lily or one of your maids to rub the
arm from the shoulder down in cir
cular sweeping motions. Use a little
cold cream or cocoa butter to avoid
friction.
Electrical treatment is excellent for
neuritis, but it should only he taken
under the supervision and advice of
physician. In cases of bad pain It
is the only thing that will relieve it.
When the pain becomes acute the
arm should be kept very warm. In
cold weather this is done by wrapping
in cotton wadding; in summer a light
knitted shawl will be found soothing.
Do not let your neuritis run on too
far without consulting a doctor. There
may be some serious cause that only
treatment will cure. AS the doctor
VIII doubtless insist upon complete
rest, it Is well to forestalI him now
by taking partial rest.
AS cold and damp weather generally
aggravates neuritis, be careful about
chilling when over-heated, and do not
sit in draught on a rainy day.

To follow fashions these days is
race-often a scrimmage. One feels
like a special train pacing a flying

INFANT Of it's success.
An expert declares that if one keeps
up with the changes in couture,
sleeves and collars it is enough for
one mind. 1t is true this gives one
plenty to do. Just glance hack along
the varying styles in hair dressing
during the last winter to say nothing
of the last few years.
Puffs in the middle of the head
displaced by the fattened braid; the
pompadour gave way to the side part,

gave way to the downward droop. An
that was high became low, and all
that was fluffy became severe. The
Marcel wave was partly replaced by
FURNISHED straightness, and the bare
forehead was adorned with a bang.
These changes were not made at
| once. All things were not changed
in the twinkling of an eve. The pro-
cedure was mere confusion. One
fashion replaced another as quickly
as skill could do it, and no sooner had
you learned to arrange YOUR coiffure

the accent on the word last" and you
sadly learned you were out of date.
THE NEWEST SLEEVES.
All tight sleeves went out under a
Whit of wind from another direction.
For time all was confusion, and the
followers of fashion were like a pack
of hounds dashing after a fox that
had given them the slip.
Long sleeves, short sleeves, draped
and plain ones, kimono and peasant,
Renaissance and Russian, each follow
ed the other, or fought for first place.
This went on for weeks, and now the
kimono to or above the elbows leads
all others.

often as it does Japanese, and it rare,

important changing in the style of
the bare neck. 1t began so many sea-
sons back that only observers with
charts remember its daring beginning.
1t is only now, when it has reached
fever heat, that it is regarded with
daily interest. 1t was then sporadic:
now it is epidemic.
In its earlier stages It was consid-
cred mainly as young girl fashion;
now it is quite proper from sixteen to
sixty. At the latter age really we'll

Now custom allows any woman to
whom it is becoming to bare her neck
for every waking hour. And what a
blessed relief it is! To be able with
out criticism to leave off the collar
through the five warm months is
fashion that good sense should never
allow to go out.
Morning frocks and simple blouses
how the word "shirtwaist" has gone
out!-are an inch lower than the base
of the neck and finished off with
wide collar. Afternoon gowns are
three and four inches low They do
not have the rolling collar as finish,
as this is a definite and informal
method used by fastidious women and
kept for the occasions, rather than
the hour into which it fits. The
correct finish for the slightly low after
noon and evening gown is a decollete
yoke of fine, soft lace, or a peasant
band of satin with few folds of tul-
lie above.
The latter is far the more difficult
to wear, and should only be attempt
ed by those who have strong large
neck, firmly set upon the shoulders.
Frail necks demand the soft shadows

Despite opposition by the artistic
ones, the even round neck is gaining
ground. The line is directly around
the base of the neck, without grace

MICHELIN TIRES
STAND HARD TEST
Make Remarkable Showing in
Durability at Indian
apoIS Speedway

At the indianapolis motor speedway
AIichein tires made a most remarkable
record for sustained speed and endur-
ance. During the three days meet
there were twenty eight separate con-
tests OF these Michelin tires won
twenty five 1t is believed that this
record for consistent work has never
been equaled. The contest OF greatest
! Importance from the point of view of
tire durability was Saturdays 200
mile race for the $4,000 Wheeler x
Schebler trophy. IT this contest Niche
Inns were the equipment OF the cars
that finished first, second, third ana
fourth.
The contest of second Importance
in the matter of distance and which
supplied additional proof of the re-
markable durability of Michelin tires,
was the 1OO-mile Presto-Lite trophy
race. which took place last Friday. In
! this event ATichelin tires were the
equipment of the cars that finished
first, second, third. fourth and fifth.
OF lesser importance, because of its
! shorter distance, was the Remy Bras
sard contest Michelin tires. however.
were again to the front las usual,
finishing first, second and third. In
this contest all records were broken for
distances from thirty to fifty miles.
In considering the question of tire
durability the condition of the two and
a half mile speedway at Indianapolis
must be taken into consideration. The
surface is much better than it was last
year from the point of view of speed,
but it is even more wearing on pneu-
matte tires.
In addition to the fine performance
at Indiana polls, Michelin tires achieved
/ remarkable records at the Atlanta mo-
/ tordrome and at the Los Angeles speed
/ way.
The car that won the magnificent
/ Atlanta trophy covered the whole 200
miles on one set OF Michelin tires, and
all but three of the other fifteen con-
! tests were won on Michelins.
At Los Angeles twelve new world
track records were made on Michelin
tires. adding another series to the Ions
| list of recent AIicheln victories.

Il have found stretches of clay and
dirt roads that are practically impas-
sab BILE at this time of year, but which
are hard and afford fine going in sum
mer. In some communities, in both the
east and west, I have found the peO-
pie blocked in by mud and afraid to
journey to church or market. The con-
sequent loss to agriculture, commerce
and social life naturally is great and
makes strong argument for the build
ing of roads that always are roads and
not occasionally mud rivers.
/ when we left Kansas city the Mer-
Ger was ploWing through mud up to
the hubs and the rain that beat
against the mud-plastered features and
clothes of the crew made them resem-
bic a massive piece Of chocolate cream

stretches were plentiful and about 100
feet long.
Thus far we have used nearly
thousand feet of rope on the car to
assist us in 'bucking the mud prob
lem. The rope wears out quickly and
in a particular hard stretch of 100
miles we had to replace it six times
on both the front and rear tires. 1t
is remarkable how the tires stand up.
Chains we're found practically useless
in the deep, almost bottomless mud.
When the going was good we made

Last year he found grades and desert
work that his car would not make Soou

he could depend on. He selected the
