Yelling Novelties

Veilings with lady bugs, beetles,
lizards or serpents, in one-hgure eff
fects, are finding a ready sale. The
idea was obtained from the latest fad
In Paris, that of painting a reptile or
insect on the cheek instead OF past
ing on a beauty spot. Another nov
city which should find favor with the
fair "rooter'' is a veil with a bat and
bali design. The tilt to the new hats
has been found to obscure the vision
to some extent, although veilings
are left well cleared of designs In
front OF the eyes. An innovation that
has been well received is a lace veil
ing made so that any length desired
may be purchased, says the New York
Sun. Formerly only yard and a half
lengths could be obtained. This ne
cessitated punching the wells on the
top of the hats, which are small, and
was an Objectionable feature to many
women who might buy these goods.
Tango wells in the usual vivid shades

manufacturers will take up, it is said,

Chinchilla Is running ermfne very

The Parisiennes have always used
ermine In lavish quantities as trim

far as to trim Indian muslin frocks

however, chinchilla is almost as popu-

Since the first of January, $4,000
automobile licenses have been issued
by the state department according to
Secretary Martindale. The depart
ment has already issued 3,774 chauf-
feurs licenses and 1924 motorcycle
licenses. The number of licenses is
sued so far this year is considerably
in excess of the number issued during
1913.
AS the result Of the decision of the
supreme court which knocked out
the new automobile tax law, the state
department has been forced to spend
considerable time in ren-itting to mo-
torists who secured licenses by pay
ing on a basis of the horse power Of
their machines. Already $100,923 has
been returned and vouchers are be-
ing made out at the rate of 400 per
day. 1t will take some time to COM
plete the work of returning the funds,
but the orders are being rushed
through as rapidly as the force Of
clerks in Secretary Martindales of
fee can prepare them for the auditor

Governor Ferris will have three
good appointments to make in the
near future as one vacancy has al
ready been created by the resignation
of De Hull n. Travis as a member OF
the state pardon board and the terms
of Ora Reeves as a member of the
industrial accident board and John
Owens as state oil inspector will ex-
pire this summer.
Members of the state pardon board
receive 81 per day and expenses and
as the work is pleasant and not very
irksome, there is generally a large
number of patriots who are willing
to serve in this particular capacity.
Travis, who was appointed by former
governor Osborn quit the board in
order to accept a position on the
Chautauqua platform.
Ora Reeves of Jackson was placed
on the industrial accident board by
Osborn when the commission was Gre
ated two years ago. Reeves is the
only representative Of organized la
Dor on the board and it is reported
that he may be reappointed by Gov
ernor Ferris because OF the fact that
he has made an excellent record
Members of the accident board were
originally appointed for terms OF two,
four and six years. Reeves was ap-
pointed for the short term and If
he is re-appointed by Gov. Ferris and
confirmed by the senate he will be
entitled to sit on the board for the
next six years.
Although the term OF State Oil In
spector John Owen will not expire
until August, when Reeves time is
also up, there are many applications
for the job. This position pays $4,000
per year and the appointment is good
for two years from the date of ap-
pointment by the governor as con-
firmation by the senate is not neces-
sary.
