A Sunday Rucus.

L. A. Lewis, stock buyer of north
of Rich Hill and a couple of the
Hough boys, Of the same locality, en-
gagged in lively "set-to" late Sunday
afternoon, in which Lewis, after re-
ceiving a.pair of black eyes and other
disfigurements, drew his revolver
and emptied the same at the Houghs,
although none of the bullets took eff
feet, says the Review.
The Hough and Lewis farms adjoin
each other, and, as we get the story,
the neighbors had been at "outs''
for many moons, Sunday doings be-
ing only another development in a
feud of long standing.
Now Lewis has sworn out warrants
for the Hough boys, charging them
with assault and battery, and the
Houghs have had Lewis arraeted for
carrying concealed weapop Thus

LONDON WEARY OF
ORIENTAL WEIGHING

LONDON, November l6.-Oriental
twisting and wriggling, styled on the
bills as dancing appears to be losing
it's fascination for the London music
hall public. Moreover, the London
County Council at last seems to have
developed conscience on the subject.
The so-called Dawn of Love" dance
introduced at the Palladium on Mon.
day night had to undergo drastic al
terations before a committee of coun-
cilors would sanction it's repetition.
The committee witnessed a private
performance of the modified version
yesterday afternoon, and it now in.
tends to give it's attention to the con
tortions of women on every vaudeville
stage in the metropolis.
The thing is curious and interest
ing at first but a regular diet Of it
for months appears to be telling even
on London's robust appetite for this
vaudeville monstrosity. Today critics
are calling for a return to classicism
and incidentally to some decency in
public dancing.

sugar
1T is the food of civilization, states
Dr. Woodman, thus UNFOLDING the
opinion vouchsafed recently by Dr..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief Of the gov
ernment's chemistry bureau" Persons
who have enough sugar in their food, -"
he continued, are better nourished
and better looking, as well as more
energetic than those who neglect car
bohydrates in their dietary
Carbohydrates as contained in
sugars are very quickly assimilated,
thus as much energy is not expended
in the process of digestion as in other
foods. For example, in the selection
of a stimulant to give the athlete just
before he enters a race, there is moth
ing better than a few Jumps of sugar
Sugar is the best and cheapest
form of energy, so it may not be sur
prising that it's use has increased
with the ascent of peoples from say
agery into civilization. Probably a
lack of knowledge as to how sugar
may be procured has handicapped the
savage in adding more of this food to
his diet"

SICK GIRL SAVES,
CHILDREN FROM FIRE

NEW YORK, November lS.-Char-
lottle Lloyd, an 1S-year-old high
school girl, is the heroine of the Yon-
kers City Hospital for Contagious
Diseases today. Just convalescing
I from severe attack of scarlet fever,
she left her bed last night to warn
the superintendent, DIR. Elizabeth
Holmes, that a fire was raging in the
hospital stable, not twenty-five feet
from the hospital building, and then
gathered twenty-four children into q
room at the other end of the building
and sang them kindergarten songs
and told them sandman stories,
while nightgowned nurses fought the
blaze until the fremen arrived.
The children, who, like Miss Lloyd,
had seen the flames through the win
dow, were badly frightened at first
and ran about the smoke-flled ward,
screaming for their nurses. With the
children, Miss Lloyd started a game
| of tag" which wound up in a room
farthest away from the fire, and
there she began an entertainment
which lasted until the exhausted
nurses returned from fighting the fire.
They found the young heroine the
center of geeful group, which had
been so splendidly entertained that
they were ready to cry when taken
back to bed
Another heroine of the fire is Mrs,
Mary Stanheld, nurse, who dashed
through flame and smoke to rescue
two horses from the blazing stable

BUNCH OF BABOCNS
KIDNAP MIDSHIPMAN

NEW YORK, November 1S.-A lot
of balloons kidnapped a midshipmate,
according to the story told by officers
of the steamship Kasanger, which ar
rived today after a voyage to the
Cape of Good Hope and return by the
way of Suez.
When the vessel had put into Kiln
DIM Bay, a British East Africa port,
two of the midshipmen, Gerald Griggs
and Clarence w. Horne, each g years
old, left the ship for a hunting trip
The two made their way deep into
the jungle and suddenly we're sur
rounded by fifty gibbering balloons,
Horne tried to bring his gun into
play, but it wouldn't work, but the
CLINT of the weapon seemed to fright
en- the balloons away and they left
Horne to swarm over and about the
luckless Griggs. Horne got away and
hurried aboard ship TO report the alb
duction of Griggs by balloons A res
cue party was at once formed with
native guides and equipped with a
large supply of cayenne pepper, which
the natives recommend as good to
I have along when stalking balloons.
Two days later they came up with
the balloons and rescued Griggs. The
sailors frightened the balloons with
skyrockets, while hte natives burned
pepper, Griggs said he had lived on
fruits during the two days.

Renovating a Sweater.

The girl who has spent her summer at
the seashore or mountains finds her
sweater unwearable by fall. The first
impulse is to send 1t to a good cleaner.
This is the easiest solution. but too costly
for many girls. who must choose between
soiled white sweaters or dark ones.
Here is how one girl solves the prob
lem. When it has become grimy she
makes a thick suds of any good white
soap, first dissolving it in water untH it
is thick jelly. The sweater is put In IL
and worked up and down many times
Care must be taken not to rub the wool,
not even through the hands, as TINS
stretches out Of shape.
If the garment is much soiled IL is
sometimes necessary to use TWO OF thres
suds These and the rinsing water shoulo
he kept at the same temperature not
much more than lukewarm. occasionally
q little boraX or a teaspoon1ul OF am
monia may be used to paiiiul OF WateI'
but this should only De done IL l"e sweat
After washing put the sweater IN the
hatbt,h and let the water from the splgot
RIM through it until entirely clear fress
gently against the sides OF the tuD, Out
do not wiring or twist. In both r1nslng
and washing the object is to keep the
garment well together in ball TO pre-
vent stretching.
Have ready a large pillow case anu
dunn the sweater into IL. Pin the case TO
the clothes line, where it gets the air and
sun. When partially dry beat the case
frst on one side, then on the other with
q WICKER furniture beater. Repeat several
times until the sweater Is entirely dry.

Dyed Furs Little Used.

The dyed furs so prevalent a few
years ago are steadily being pushed into
the background, and natural skins. even
in such rather becoming anT mixed tones
as are to be found in opposs am and natu-
raj fox of various kinds. are taking their
place. Natural raccoon is to he a favor
tie among the reasonably priced skins
this winter. and leopard is another strik-
ing fur that is in no way toned down
by dyer's artifice.
One set of leopard recently brought
out has scarf that is shoped to fit the
neck in back and has two long stole ends
that touch the hem of the gown in front
Leopard is popular for automobile wear
A special automobile fur set has q
huge muff that may be spread out TO
form a lap robe or rolled into ordinary
muff size when the wearer leaves her
car. Ii is made of white arctic fox OF
rare beauty. The scarf to match has two
full skins of the fox. the heads of which
come together on the left shoulder rest
ing on a bow of black and white velvet
and satin The tails hang on the right
side, one in front and one in back.

THE NEW EARRINGS
HAVE COLORED GEMS

The new drop earring is fashionable
now, if you think the yet more popular
single stone screw too commonplace.
But the character of the drop has changed
no longer Is the long single stone, like
an exclamation point upside down. in
favor: the drops are rather danglers,
tinkling in a bewitching way.
If you want smart earrings wear gem
fitted close to the ear and from il hang
an inch and a half of fine gold or plat
mum chain, finished with another jewel
round or pear-shaped.
In choosing earrings match the tone or
the costume worn, to be strictly in style;
thus, with white frock, you will wear
pearls. brilliants or possibly moonstones:
with a black and white frock there Is
choice between these stones or jet, pref
erably the latter; with a pale pink gown
are the different tones Of coral or some
of the paler tinted bloodstones or rubies,
while with a blue frock are innumerable
tints in turquoise, aquamarines, sapphireS,
la pis- lazuli, and amethysts for the violet
tones.
The price need not alarm one this day
Of wonderful paste, but the effect on eyes
and complexion we'll may do SO. 1t Is
vain or Indifferent woman who puts any
kind of stone into her ears without study
ing results.
Garnets are in again, and the deep red
stone has a faculty of making the skin
look shell-like in color, and are to be rec
commended to the woman of colorful ears
The newest earrings are in shower mod
els, tiny single stones to match the main
screw, connected by gold or platinum
chains or diamond chips. Sometimes these
chains are doubled or quadrupied ana
caught together at intervals by larger
stones.
A dainty turquoise set has knotted
chains of diamond chips pendant from a
TURQUOISE the size of a pea and held by
another turquoise the same size ana
shape.
Another model has a round emerald at
the top, then a single chain of diamond
chips meeting an oval emerald, then
double strand of the diamonds finished
by a pear-shapeG emerald.
Colored stones are very popular, espe-
cially when combined with diamonds or
seed pearls, but there is vast assort-
ment to meet all tastes and pocketbooks.
Quaint effects are found in colored en-
amel fligree. Etruscan gold and in jet.
The last is often combined with dia-
monds or gilt chains.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
BY Ruth Cameron.

Have you called on Mrs. r. yet?' in
quired the lady always -knows-some
how.
II haven't" said Molly, the little
stenographer.
The rest of us added our negative to
hers.
"Why?" pursued the lady-who-always-
knows-somehow.
II hate formal first CALLS said Molly.
Il always put them off as long as can. .
I've been so busy" 1 pleaded. I'm
really going soon"
II guess 1 was just lazy" confessed
the Butterfly.
How long do you think it is since Mrs.
r. moved here?" asked the ladywhO al
ways-knows~somehow
why, L suppose 1t must be five or SIX
weeks, reckoned Molly.
Its over three months" said the lady.
1T can't be-, cried Molly.

what do you think that poor little woman
did when l asked her If she liked the
neighborhood? She just broke down ana
cried. You know, she moved here from a
long way off and she hasn't a friend or
relative within a thousand miles. She
hasn't any children, either. She lost her
only little girl last year. Her husband
is devoted to her, but he has to be away
on business a good deal. And what do
you think, she said that in all this neigh
borhood only two other persons besides
myself had called upon her.
''She asked me if l thought she had
done anything to offend people, or If l
had any idea what the trouble was. She
said she was almost crazy with lonesome
ness. Now don't you think we all ought
to feel pretty much ashamed
Needless to say, we did think so, and
incidentally registered our intention Of
calling the very next day, as early as the
law would allow.
Perhaps you may be persuaded by this
little tale that our neighborhood is pc
culiar one.
I don't believe 1t is.
think 1t is typical, and that little
tragedies like this one are going on every
day in every community.
Laziness, forgetfulness. indifference,
procrastination, buSinesS-these are the
feeble excuses that we offer for our cru
city.
And meanwhile the woman We have
isolated on a desert island of loneliness
by our selfshness or our carelessness
waits and wonders. and eats her heart
out with consequences and inconsistencies.
l do not doubt but there have been
many cases of nervous prostration, per-
haps even Of suicide. caused by the people
who didn't call.
OF course, few people enjoy formal first
calls. But since they are the inevitable
first step toward neighborliness, l think
we surely ought to endure the evil for the
sake of the good that follows.
And not only endure it, but endure it
quickly.
Don't vou2
