Several little stores in camp have
been robbed recently. Most of the
robberies took place when the owner

other night a daring hold-up man
walked into store where a young

The rohber wore handkerchief

head. At the point of a gun he re-

The man was in soldiers uniform.
While the looting was in progress the
frightened youth noticed that he was
negro, He also noticed a small tri-
angular scar on the robbers forehead.
The hold-up was reported to Colonel
Nicholson next day. That afternoon
there was great gathering of negro

Kansas City, Mo.-With the annual
parade held during the day and the
Campfire" at Convention hall at
night, Wednesday was the climax of
the anuanl encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Thousands of
veterans marched through streets
proud that another year had found
them still a member of the blue-clad
army
The parade was not without its toll,
Dozens of feeble marchers were pros
trated along the route. Most of the
marchers were revived at emergency
stations or by the boy scouts who
patrolled the line of march with first
aid kits. Six cases required hospital

The parade was almost three hours
in passing the reviewing stands The
veterans marched slowly, singing the
songs of fifty years ago and shouting
behind the fife and drum corps Many
of the veterans later were taken for
a motor tour of the city.

The first Of the new ready-made
suits for fall are making their appear
ance before ''the trade" That is, mer-
chants throughout the country are
looking over the sample lines Of manu-
facturers. So far there is little change
in the lines of street suits from those
of the passing season. Many of the
new models show an increased length
of skirt, and coats also are somewhat
longer. The inspiration of many smart
models appears to come from the Rus
sian blouse-and this Is a matter for
gratitude.
In the conservative and beautifully
tailored suit shown above, model has
been evolved that is becoming to both
slender and stout figures. The coat
Is neatly adjusted over the shoulders
and vague in fit about the waistline
with a full and long peplum. A very
clever management of the underarm
portion gives a trim look to the fig
ure. The sleeves are plain and long
The skirt is plain with overlapped
seam at the front and plaits at each
side. 1t is strictly tailored with fault
less machine stitching as a finish. In
harmony with it are the plain belt al
back and front OF the waistline and
the large bone buttons that fasten the
coat. Smaller buttons Of the same
kind are set in q row Of four on eacf
cuff.
Serge is the favorite material fol
fall suits although the other stand
ard weaves of cloth are not neglect
ed. Except for the velvet turn
over on the collar II is the only fab
ric used in the suit shown. There Is
