SPECIAL COVER FOR FROCK
Best Method Of Protecting the "Party
Gown" When II Is Hanging In
the Wardrobe.

Nearly every girl realizes that the
average party gown gets more hard
usage when hanging In the crowded
wardrobe than while 1t is being actu
ally worn. And as most girls have far
less wardrobe space than they need
the best means OF protecting the party
frock from contac: with the workaday
garments Is to make a special cover
for 1t of lawn. dimity, muslin. cheese.
cloth or a similar material. Having
measured the length of the gown from
shoulders to skirt hem, take two full
widths of the chosen covering material
and shape an end of each one of them
into shoulders and the half of n neck.
The shoulders and the long, straight
sides of the cover are then scanned
together, the bottom Is hemmcd. the
neck is neatly bound with ribbon
bowed In front at the top OF two short
silken cords from which depend two
small square or oval sachets When
the gown ia adjusted to It's individual

II is 1873 years since BENJAMIN
Franklin became the first postmaster
general in America as representative
of the colonists, and the postal serv.
ice of the United States antedates the
government by Just one year. The
first declaration of independence ever
made by the colonists was in the
establishment of a postal servioe OF
their own to evade the Crown post.

This service aided In bringing the col

OF public opinion, Though Benjamin
Franklin was postmaster general at
$1,000 year, a Maryland editor named
Goddard, who printed the Maryland
Journal-Post, established a private
service a year before the colonists
took charge.

The arrest Wednesday of doctor and drug clerk
by the prosecuting attorney calls to the attention of
The Times the question whether the people are fa-
miliar with DOPE deadly epidemic in this coun
try-in this very city-which is worse than con-
sumption, or typhoid, or smallpox-worse than all
put together because it is increasing at an appalling
rate
It's a fact. We don't want to scare you but mere
y to call your attention to this grave peril. 1t is
time to lift this veil of ignorance and the public
should be warned of the menace of these drugs and
instructed regarding their evil nature and devasng
power
just to illustrate what strong hold the DOPE
HABIT has secured in the United States let us re-
cite the following facts:
The United States is consuming more dope than all
Europe combined
There are between 100000 and 100000 drug
fiends in this country mostly innocent people living
in secret hels not of their own making?
There are 500 drug fiends in Tacoma.
The evil is growing with such appalling rapidity
that doctors and the legislators don't know what to
do about it.
These facts absolutely true. The public should
know them. Having this aim in view The Times has
succeeded in obtaining a series of articles written
exclusively for this paper by the greatest "dope"
expert in the world to tell true and amazing story
of the drug evil and point the way to rid society of
the GREAT MODERN PLAGUE.
