For the Man Traveller

An apron for a mans use seems at
first consideration an absurdity, but
really the article has so many advan-
tages that the member Of the stronger
sex who has once brought himself to
appear In the dressing-room of a sleep
ing car with one of them tied about
his waist, will not willingly start on a
journey without such an equipment.
To make the toilet apron, TAXI a half
yard OF ~dark-colored denim and bind
its edges with stout braid or with
kid; then, placing 1t lengthwise, so as
to have It's greatest width running
horizontally, attach to 1t by overcast
ing stitches, a straight strip of denim
almost half the height Of the apron
foundation and about six inches longer
at each end. This strip Is then divided
into six pockets to hold respectively
hair brush, hat brush, clothes brush.
tooth brush, comb and mirror while
the two projecting ends are fitted with
u strap and a buckle. The beauty of
this case is that it folds once over from

PERI" is no longer the cry of the girl
or woman who is thoughtful Of her
footwear.
The carefully shod one not only calls
for slippers, but for several pairs. She
cannot have too many in shape, form

For evening and indoor wear slip

wearer, n while, in q few instances,

One of the freaks of this midwinter

freak OF fashion, and not a pretty n
so cannot be of long duration.
A return to a fashion of a decade
ago is the hand embroidered hose. In
those days tho instep of the stocking

VALUE OF
ADVERTISING
CAMP AIGN
Especial to THE TrMEs)

Whiting. Ind. July 23.-The sale of
lots in Henry S. Davidson's seventh
addition to Whiting has been remark
able. Since the advertising campaign
In THETIMEs was begun there have
been in the neighborhood of thirty
lots sold in the new addition.
The reason for the sale of this prop
erty is the fact that 1t is the last
property In Whiting that is available
for subdividing. After the lots in this
subdivision are gone 1T will be neces-
sary to subdivide In either Hammond
or East Chicago.
Neither of these cities are prepared
TO furnish both sewer and water for
any new subdivisions that may be
opened in the vicinity of Whiting. on
account of the great expense
The low taxes In Whiting and the
efficient city government that has
prevailed there make 1t exceedingly
desirable a place to live. Davidson
expects to sell out the entire subdi-
vision in short order.

THAT ANY PERSON CAN KILL AN

Although the dog squad has not
succeeded in killing very many un-
muzzled CANNES so far this season,
1T went out again early this morning
and is in hopes that they will be able
to capture some of the animals which
got away during the past few days
The police department learned this
morning that there were q number Of
dog owners, who were sheltering their
pets when they saw the dog squad
coming and as soon the officers were
out of sight again the animals would
be turned loose
Not one of the officers on the dog
squad say that they in love with
their work. but are sent out with or
ders to kill and are compelled to do
their duty.
Before the dog squad was organized
there was any amount of unmuzzled
dogs running at large every day, but
now they are scarce, which is a puzzle
to the police. Five unmuzzled dogs
were counted this morning on one
block in Holman street.
