recommendation of the general staff

MAKING PLANS FOR CAMPING
Matter Of Appropriate Clothing MUST
&c Reckoned as One OF Hlsn
Importance.

With the increased interest In
camping out as a part OF summer
life there are probably few girls VINO
have not tried 1t and many TO whom
1t is a regular feature OF each years
pleasure.
II is only the inveterate campers
who do not make mistakes In the
matter of what It Is best to take on
trim of this kind And the question
of clothes has great deal to do with
ones enjoyment. With the right
clothes there is little need to think
of them at all, but with the wrong
kind one is constantly hampered.
OF paramount importance is the
question Of washing, and its princi'
pal rule is, Take nothing that needs
ironing. White cotton crepe shirt
waists are good for warm days, be-
cause a girl can wash her own, shake
II out and hang 1t up to dry, and II
win be as good as new. Aside from
this. take only wooden clothes and nc
light colored ones that will be easily
soiled. Mixed WOODEN skirts and coats
are the best, and flannel shirt waists
with a sailor collar. One cannot ex
pect to wear very pretty or fancy
clothes and enjoy the free and easy
life of camp.
Even the underclothes must follow
the rule of common sense and useful
ness, the daintiness OF home being lef'
behind. Union suits and woven cor
set covers are the kind to wear. They
can be washed by ones own hands
very easily And especially Will the
wise girl keep in mind that her usual
delicate and pretty night gowns are
entirely out of place in a camp. Out
ing flannel night gowns are the only
kind to take. and veg glad will the
girl be who remembers this rule when
she finds how cold 1t is at night In a
tent.

The Flight

When the aviator in the Trans
Mississippi flight stops in Cairo on
his Notwithstanding journey from
Minneapolis to New Orleans, thou
sands of persons will be present to
greet him.
Among the thousands will be hum
dreds of visitors, and it will be a
gala day for everybody-th aviator,
the citizens. the visitors and last,
but not least, the business men.
Before the business men of Cairo
are willing to spend money to have
the aviator make the city one of his
stops, they demand to know whether
the effort will be worth the return.
This very same question has been
asked by the business interests of
st. Louis, Minneapolis and Keokuk,
and they have found the answer
1t is common knowledge that
when men and women travel from
one place to another in quest OF
pleasure, they generally provide
themselves with an abundance of
money, for the average human being
cannot enjoy himself unless he in
dulges in unusual extravagances. As
a rule the visitors generally return
to their homes with only small
portion of the bank roll" and in
most cases they are dead broke"
but extremely happy
The business men Of the other
cities have considered this important
phase of the flight, but that is not
all The advertising feature of the
project is even more attractive.
Advertising, in this age. is one of
the most valuable and expensive
commodities on the market, II Is ex.
spenslve because 1t is valuable, and
any city that can place its name
before the world with the expendi-
ture of only $1,000 is getting adver-
Using way below the usual rate
The Keokuk Power Company man
agement was so impressed with the
advertising opportunity offered In
the flight, that 1t already has offered
the aviator $500 in cash to circle
over the plant when he arrives al
that city.
The aviator will be offered a prize
of $4,000 to make the flight, ant
the greatest part of this will be pait
by civic organizations of st. Louis
Minneapolis and New Orleans. 1t Il
probable that Cairo will not be ask
ed to pledge more than 1000 as it
share of the prize.
eliminating all OF the advantage
Cairo would enjoy by inviting tn
aviator to land here, it could not al
ford to risk its reputation as cit
of enterprise and liberality for tn
sake of the small sum of $1,000.

For Hard.Wear skirts.

When making serge skirt that Ia
to have hard wear, try the effect Of
lining the front breadth. Lined skirts
are seldom seen nowadays and would
be much too heavy Nor summer; but
one that has no lining is very apt TO
wrinkle across the front, especially II
1t flts well over the hips. When cut.
ting the front breadth, cut with II a
piece of silk. sateen or some very
thin lining and proceed to make up
the skirt In the usual way.
You will be surprised to see how
much longer yonr skirt lasts, and how
much nicer 1t looks to the very end,
If 1t Is lined In this way.
