the stores in town were closed

members of the G. A. r. met at
their hall and after a short SER
vice marched to the cemetery,
where the graves of their COM
rades were decorated and fitting
tributes were paid to the dead.
In the afternoon a splendid
program consisting of solos, both
instrumental and vocal, recita-
tions and speeches, was carried
out in the presence of a large
audience. The Arvada band was

Commencement Exercises.

The commencement exercises
of t! e Arvada high school were
held in the auditorium Of the
s nool building last Thursday
evening. Ii there is any one
thing Arvada is especially proud
of it is her schools and this year
the largest class in the history OF
the school was graduated. The
class was composed of seven
splendid young men and nine
beautiful young ladies and they
certainly have reason to be proud
of their efforts.
The auditorium was prettily
decorated with the class colors,
gold and white, and at eight
O'Clock the class marched in and
took their places, and the invo-
cation was pronounced by Rev.
Hudson.
The program that followed
was splendid and was greatly ap-
preciated by the large audience
that crowded the auditorium, and
while we would like to give each
number special mention, lack Of
space forbids. The quartets
and music We're especially good
and each oration showed a thor
ough knowledge of the subject
taken and was delivered in the
most acceptable manner. The
class ode and the High School
History and Prophesy" deserve
special mention and were heart
lily encored.
The diplomas were presented
by H. J. Juchem followed by the
benediction by Rev. Rice.

Hurrah! We are going to have
a Strawberry Day." Arvada
is waking up to the fact that she
must let the outside world know
how bountifully Dame Nature
has bestowed her wealth upon
her, if she expects to advance as
the other progressive towns are
doing. 1t is an undisputed fact
that Arvada and vicinity have
natural advantages far superior
to many other progressive com
munities in Colorado, but have
neglected, to some extent to ad
vertise the fact and the outside
world has been kept in ignorance
of their wonderful resources.
Strawberry Day" will draw
crowds of people that will marvel
at our beautiful little city, our
splendid gardens and fruit
ranches, and wonder why they
have not heard more of this vi
cinity before. Then when they
come from the east, or their
friends are about to look for To-
cation in Colorado, Arvada will
be the first place they will think
of coming, and there is no doubt
that many families will locate
here as a result of our Straw
berry Day" advertising. If yon
are on a committee get busy and
90 into your work with enthusi-
asm. Don't be half hearted and
leave the greater part of the
work for a few to do. Be pro-
gressive, enthusiastic booster for
once in your life and see how ii
feels.

Arvada Wins Fourth Game.

Last Sunday Arvada won their
third game from the Colonials of
Denver by a score of Is to IL.
Decoration day a bunch of young
sters calling themselves Zulus,
came out from Denver and
gave the Arvada boys what might
have been termed a practice
game. The Zulus did some snappy
fielding but they were unable to
handle the stick in the proper
manner and lost the game by a
score Of to 3. The home team
played rather a listless game from
the fact that they were sure of a
victory from the start. Occas-
ionally they would liven up and
show what they could do if nee
essary.

should do their part. Cut the

are any, move any unsightly pile

CARELESS WITH THEIR EYES.

Many a woman who takes care of her
diamonds lets her eyes take care of
themselves, often to their lasting in
jury. Seldom. too, are the eyes of
young people watched as they should
be Headache, which may and often
does mean eye strain, is put down to
liver trouble or indigestion, and home
remedies are administered for these
ailments when what is really needed is
a visit to the oculist. And going to an
optician merely is not enough, since his
business is to suit the eyes with glasses
only. which they may or may not need.
The oculist suits the treatment to the
eyes. and it is better to err on the side
of going to him without reason than to
stay away -1hen there may be need to
go.
Considering the delicate mechanism
of the eye, it is astonishing how much
abuse it bears. Women go about peer
ing through wells of heavy and intricate
patterns most harmful to the vision
Both men and women read constantly
in street cars, than which there is
nothing worse. Children are allowed
to read in insufficient light and in the
cleaning. And seldom does any one
take care when reading or working to
be in the right position with regard to
the light. -@.=s

ARE GIRLS GOING
IN FOR ROUGEa
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

TN certain smart sets Of society the
girls this winter have been going in
rather heavily for painting their
cheeks and tinting their lips. Good
judges who have watched the ways of
American women prophesy. however,
that it is a craze of the moment and
nothing more.
Don't get excited" said a rnatron to
a man friend who had seen a girl he
admired showing unnaistakable traces
of the rouge pot and was overcome
with horror thereby. at is a fad that
will pass. Women in good society in
America have always looked with sus-
picion on those of their number who
have painted or who used powder in
visible quantities, even when they only
touched up to conceal the traces of too
much dancing or the ravages of time.
Our women aren't going to forget ira
dition and bloom out in false colors.
Englishwomen of all classes use rouge
powder, lip salve and eye pencils, and
they deceive nobody. But most
American girls trust to exercise and
care to keep their compilations in con-
dition. The fad for Paris makeups be-
gan at the summer resorts last season,
and it isn't going to spread except
among women who motor lot. AS for
the girl you saw rouged the other
night, I happen to know that she got
such a talking to from some of her
older friends that she has vowed never
to do so again."

BATHING THAT CLEANS AND
BEAUTIFIES.

Don't think because you jump into
the tub every day. using soap and wa
ter, that your bath is complete. Water
as it comes from the tap is too hard to
use on the ordinary skin, so a cupful
of the following mixture should be
added to the tub Of water when you
are about to take a bath. One and
one-half pounds of borax. one-half
pound of soda and one-half pound of
aromatic spirits of ammonia.
These ingredients may be mixed in
a larger quantity and kept in a glass
or stone jar tightly covered and ready
for use.
Take a daily plunge into lukewarm
water, followed by a cold spray or
sponge. If you cannot stand cold wa
ter make the sponge several degrees
cooler than the bath. preferably in the
morning. In addition to this daily
bath there should be a warm bath
taken at 1east twice a week at tenn
perature sufficiently high to induce
vigorous perspiration. These hot baths
should be taken at night. Just before
retiring is a good time.

) HINTS TO HOME
DRESSMAKERS
oooooooooooooooooooot

IN a waist lining there are always
two darts at each side of the front.
The ones nearest the center front
should be very little more than half an
inch in depth at the widest part and,
of course, taper off TO nothing above
and below The second darts can be
as deep as necessary 1t is in these
that all superfuous fullness must be
taken up.
If, however you are very broad
across the bust and very small wasted
in comparison it is sometimes neces-
sary to deepen the darts nearest the
center front little more, but this does
not often happen. Suppose that your
bust is thirty-six inches and your
waist measurement only twenty-five
inches. not by any means an unusual
occurrence. you are not stock" size
and so cannot get paper pattern that
will fit both your waist and bust.
If you are wise you will choose the
pattern with the correct bust meas
urement It is easy to take in the
waist but it isn't easy to increase the
size of the bust in pattern that is
too small there.
- -
Suppose you need skirt pattern and
have rather big hips. Don't get a pat
tern with exactly correct waist meas
ureTnent. Get one with waist measure
ment two inches larger than your
actual waist; then there will be plenty
of spring on the hips. while the waist
is easily taken in just a little at each
seam.
If your waist is large remember that
narrow striped material carefully cut
is great help in making it look small
, er, and If you are stout it will help to
make you look slim.
Here is a rule to bear in mind: The
stripe that begins on the outside of the
shoulder seam should run at such an
angle that it will be about one inch
from the center back at the waist. A
| tuck running from the waist to the
shoulder is very becoming to an over
plump figure.
The device is a yardstick. A bank
er's pin is introduced through the
measure at the number of inches the
| skirt is to hang from the floor. The
end of the measure is rested perpendic-
ularly through the material Of the skirt.
A twist of the wrist lifts the skirt, and
chalk mark may be placed at the
point where the pin goes through the
| fabric. and so on all round the skirt.
