HOUSE SLIPPERS.

A Great Variety of Comfortable Shoes
Suitable For Hours of Ease.
The kid house slipper is really little
different from many evening slippers
and street shoes. 1t is n pointed shoe
with a high French heel. Sometimes
1t is decorated with a chiffon pompon.
sometimes with a satin bow, some
times with a buckle Of metal, enamel
or stones. Again it is tied about the
instep and ankle with ribbons. Little
satin slippers in black and colors also
are worn with house frocks. and. like
other shoes, they are usually worn
with white or colored stockings.
- p
Mules. with and without heels, are
perhaps the most comfortable of all
boudoir slippers. They are made of
cretonne or ribbon, Of quilted satin and
Of kid. Some Of them, too, are made
Of the lovely embroidered japanese
and Chinese fabrics that are used in
various sorts Of slippers.
y y b
Almost as easy to adjust as the mules
are the straw sandals usually made
with two cross straps Of red cotton
that come from China. In spite Of the
fact that they are as troublesome tn
get into as mules are easy to get into.
all sorts Of ribbon slippers persist.
They are pretty, that is granted, and
that assures them permanence. Some
times they are shirred at the top on a
piece of elastic, and sometimes they
are straight at the heel and sides,
stiffened with canvas and fitted over
the toes. This kind is perhaps the
most comfortable and the addition of
ribbons to tie about the ankle makes
them more comfortable still

THE DAIRY cow rs COMING
INTO HER OWN IN MIS-

Never until this year has the state
of Missouri and the dairy interests of
the state awakened to the Importance
of the dairy COW. At the Missouri
State Fair at Sedalia, September %

greatest butter contest ever staged in
the Union, and for purse of $500,
made up by the creamery men of Mis-

bring hundreds of dairy cows to the
Missouri State Fair. To compete ali
that is necessary is a creamery GER

MUST BE BALANCED"
EXPERT TELLS OF IMPORTANT
 THING IN MOTOR.
Would Be We'll f More Purchasers Understood What the Good and
 Bad Points Involve.

To the majority of prospective pur- motor is a vaguely understood subject, according to H. E.. Doty, leading sell ing agent. Mir. Doty was discussing some of the things which had to be taught even the experienced motorist when the technical advantages Of any particular car were being dwelt upon.
 "A balanced motor. by the simplest definition" declared Doty, "is one that runs smoothly without vibration at any speed. Technically. the perfect balance of . motor is obtained when the resultant centrifugal forces are equal and opposite. and hence equal to zero in any plane.
 Perhaps the best way to illustrate the effect of unbalanced forces is to tie weight to a string and swing it around the index finger. As the weight swings around the path of a circle the index finger is pulled on by the weight. and since the weight is constantly changing its position. the pull on the finger changes and the finger begins to move so as to describe a small circle.
 The heavier the weight and the faster 1t revolves the more difficult it is to hold the finger stationary. If a second weight is tied to a string and fastened to the same finger so as to extend out in the opposite direction from the first weight when the two are swung around the finger. it will be found that there will be little or no pull on the finger if the two weights are equal.
 The same conditions apply exact. ly to the automobile motor. If the weights of the arms of the crank shaft and the big ends of the connect. ing rods are such as they swing around the crank shaft bearings that they produce equal and opposite pulls as in the case of the two weights about the finger. there will be no vii bration. If these weights are not equal there will be pull on the crank shaft bearings, and the crank case holding these bearings will tend % follow the pull of the unbalanced weights in the path of a circle. This pull is what causes vibration. Ii it is zero. there is no vibration"
