IS YOUR CAR
LONESOME?
A Pathetic Story of Little Car Lock
ed Up in a Garage.

Do you feel lonesome Because you
have put your little car up for the win
ter? Here is what one poor, lonely
car owner said, when she put her car
away, II had to put it away in big
garage, and know it will be homesick
There were tears in it's eyes as I put
on it's little muller, there were tears
in it's lamps too.
"Now don't have anything to do
with those wicked foreign cars" / said.
"Boo-hoo, you've always been a good
little car-on the level. And you were
such good tree climber.
"We've had such jolly times togeth-
er, me and you, little car. Even the
tires had their blow outs, too.
''This is a horrid garage, l don't
want you to have anything to do with
that horrid bunch of nuts in the cor
ner. And don't speak to that REQ car
It was named after Rio in Brazil,
where walnuts come from.
"You may play with the Saxon, as
long as it stays neutral. And the
Flivver is a rafting good little car. It
rushes in where Packards fear to
tread.
90! look at that stuck up car! That
painted thing! Don't have anything
to do with it. just know it's French
model. There's something wrong with
it's chassis. And its wearing diamond
tires!
IF it tries to get too differential
with you, just use your shock absorb
ers And maybe you'd better put up
your mud guards, too.

my hand to guide you?

those delivery wagons are. l don't
want you 10 have anything to do with

Margaret
MASON features
Interpreter

The attention of The ladies of Grand
Rapids is especially called to the fea-
ture stories by Margaret Mason which
the Reporter publishes from time to
time.
Miss Mason's crisp breezy, style in
writing about the prevailing and COM
ing fashions has a charm that is ir-
resistable.
This feature is being run in many
of the best papers in the country and
the Reporter considers itself FORUM
ate in being able to secure these stor-
les by this celebrated writer for it's
readers.
The men, too, will find these stories
interesting and it is safe to say that
once you start reading Miss Mason's
stories, you will be watching for the
next one. The one in this paper to-
night is headed, s'Tan To Be Summer
Color"

pears exclusively in the Reporter.

way you can go in for color effect this
coming spring and summer is to turn
green with envy, have yellow streak,
a fit of blues or red yourself up to
be the pink Of neatness. They do
say that all is fair in love and war
but it's been mighty hard fer some
of us to be fair, with the recent en-
barge on peroxide. Fortunately that
has just been lifted and hearts and
heads are once more light.
The outlook for other dyestuiTs how
ever is very dark The weather man
has often predicted a white winter
for Us but now the Fashion man prom
ises US a white summer-while with
a large dash of tan by way of variety.
By way of getting the greatest
amount of variety out of tan you car
call it biege, ecru, string biscuit sand
and putty as it's intensity of tanness
wanes or wakes.
Fortunately we already have such
charminy tan summer materials in nat

to say nothing of natural linens, that
Summer outfits threatens no real trib-
ulation.
Cotton voiles of rich biege color
striped in the same toned cotton velvet
are most effective and the biege black
stripe are stunning additions to the
new tan tone fabrics Faille is lovely
Spring suits of ecru accru much credit
to the wearer as do the little turbane
of biscuit colored straw and ta1feta
and the high shoes with puttycolored
tops
If you remember we were caught
in sand storm Of sand colored suits

tones of our most modern frocks. Of
a necessity then the modern maid, de-
liberately going against the admoni-
ton Of Mr.. Omar to fling her winter
garment of repentance aside for the
fires of spring will change instead her
flame hued garb of winter for the
ashes of a new sartorial season.
And so grey or tan mark will be
added to the aggregate mass of black
marks against the war by women of
Fashion. But between you and me;
after viewing the Ballet Russo backed
by Bakst with its chaotic and IN
restrained riot of colors I can't be-
live that the poor old war is the only
thing Responsible for alarming short

From the Snowflake

To the HERALD:

June y, 1916
To the HERALD:
"a jolly bunch of soldiers
Down here on the border:
Sometimes we think in He'll we smolder,
And yet we know of things harder"
Things are going along as
usual on the Mexico border, and
we find the Snowflake portion of
camp quite as stable as any. 1t
is often that we talk of home,
and away back in the rear of our
minds we slightly wish we were
there, but just then a drill call
blows and we are ready to drill.
Weather conditions are quite
favorable, now that we are ac-
customed to the inevitable wind
and dust. We have all become
used to walking so we do not
mind drilling so much as may be
imagined.
Now, good people. there is one
great thing we need down here
and that is more and better di-
rect backing and support from
home. If you are not in SYM
pathy with this immediate nation
al movement, just please stop
and consider that we are down
here and feel that it is our duty
to stay, showing that we are as
patriotic as outside factions.
Friends, what we need from
home is more encouragement,
more patriotic consideration of
our nations present status, and
more cooperation at home in
joining together and keeping us
frequently assured of our good
folks, friends. and people who
are interested in the boys who
can conveniently remain in camp
and prove that the questioned
Mormons" are just as strong in
militarism as are others.
We find that we have hardly
received our just dues in camp;
however, we have been informed
that we can all be transferred
into one company as soon as the
Regiment is mustered into the
Federal Service. It will be much
better then: We'll all be together
which will be a great consolation
to us all. With all due respect
to all members of the camp, we
feel that there is discriminate
space between the average ele-
walton of those here in camp and
our Snowflake boys; therefore,
goood friends, we need your sup
port to help US retain this space
and also to help us in doing our
part to help quell all invading
factions against Uncle Sam.
Moreover, we know there will
be many quite misconstrued

interspersed the dancing. The
people showed by every action
that they were glad to welcome
us and extended an appreciated
hand of courtesy to us all.
At the Sunday meetings seven
of the Snowflake boys attended
Sunday School-nine were at
church and mutual. Although
we were obliged to return to
camp for Retreat" at6:15 P. M.
the number at mutual was not
decreased for we were glad to
walk back for mutual, a distance
of twenty blocks and streets.
A religious hunger was mani
fest in our boys and a burning
desire to attend a church of our
belief was expressed by all, which
could be satiated only by the good
religious spirit and trend that we
were privileged to participate in.
The only uniforms present at
Sunday School and church were
members of the Snowflake bunch.
Invocation and testimonies at
church signify the interest ia
ken by our boys. Priesthood
meeting on Monday night was
also we'll attended, there being
six of our boys glad to make the
trip. A good spirit was present
and the meeting greatly enjoyed.

pensed with as soon as George
Frost gets his large touring car
and Bible. He says the car is
to be strictly confined to us as
greater convenience for our at
tending church regularly.
Esteemed people, the boys who
are considered wild at home,
show their real selves here, and
prove their integrity and re-
ligious teachings to be of great
weight within them.
The preceding article shows
you all what we are doing in the
southeast corner of the state and
proves our stability. If we can
obtain the necessary home sup
port we solicit in the foregoing
lines we will be fiat and fine"

citizens.

constant husbands, fathers, sons,

The Real Meaning Of
the Game Refuge Bill

received from DR.. w. T. Horna-
day of New York copies of his
final appeal to Congress to pass
the Chamberlain-Hayden bill for
the establishment of game ref
uges in the National Forests.
In spite of the almost unanimous
endorsement of the entire West,
Congress has not yet acted on
the measure. Forest officers
state that in Arizona and New
Mexico alone, % Chambers of
Commerce and Game Protective
Associations have emphatically
urged game refugees as the only
salvation of the rapidly dimin-
ishing game supply.
DR.. Hornaday's final argu-
ments, slightly abbreviated, are
as follows:
To the Congress of the United
States:
The big game Of the West has
been Well-nigh exterminated.
In Colorado, for instance, it has
been necessary to entirely close
the season on elk, deer, noun
tain sheep, antelope, wild tur-
keys. quail and pheasant. 9th
er Rocky Mountain states are
but little better off.
The Chamberlain H a Y d e n
Game Refuge Bill is before Con-
gress because the representative
people of the West sincerely de-
sire to have what it will provide.
Twelve governors and a cores
ponding array of institutions,
newspapers, organizations and
prominent men and women of
the West have endorsed the bill.
This law is needed and desired
because it will bring back some
of the vanished big game and
do things that the states alone
never will do unaided.
This bill would take nothing
from the public domain nor
change the legal status of one
acre of public land.
1t would interfere in no way
with agriculture or grazing. The
areas in view for these sanctua-
ries are wild, remote and rugged.
1t is not the part of wisdom to
let these now desolate regions
forever remain desoIate, pro-
ducing nothing of value save
timber and water.
There is nothing mandatory
about this plan, and each gov
ernor has an absolute check on
the establishment of refugees in
his state.
If the western states had not
said that they desire these refu-
ges and all that they will do for
the West, the refuge bill would
not now be before Congress.
The East can endure lifeless
western forests if the West can |!
The people of the East have not
been asked to try to rush" the
Chamberlain-Hayd bill through
Congress!
If at any time the people of
the United States decide that the
public welfare demands the
breaking up of the national for
ests, and their opening to land
speculation, then 'let the tail
go with the hide" and decon-
secrate and break up the game
sanctuaries at the same time.
The East can stand it if the
West can; and there is nothing
in the proposed law that can
prevent its repeal.
In the states that will be af-
fected by the proposed game
sanctuary plan, there are proba-
bly, 1000, 900 men and boys who
go hunting each year, and kill
game-if they can find any! To
this bill means a continual
ton of legitimate sport; and
state control alone means the
