AIM TO HAVE MODEL TOWN
Founders of Hopewell, Va, Are Men
Who Recognize the Spirit
of the Times.

Hopewell, Va, is the youngest in
dustrial city in the United States. A.
year ago its site was a peaceful Vir-
ginia farm a few miles from Peters,
burg. Then industry waved its magic
wand and planted q great factory in
the solitudes. Now it has a popula-
ton of 25,000 and is growing daily.
So metropolitan is Hopewell that mu-
nicipal information is printed in five
different languages. A liberal per-
centage of native Americans in the
professional and commercial class,
however, are enthusiastically aiding in
planning a city capable of ideal civic
attainment.
Hopewell was founded as the perma-
nent center for a large manufacturing
plant supplying munitions of war to
European nations. Its plans were
based upon the full recognition of the
fact that the highest efficiency of the
worker can only be expected under the
best living conditions.

OWN PART OF GREENLAND
Comparatively Few Know That the
United States Territory Extends
That Far to the North.

Very few had any idea that the
United States owns Il chunk of Green.
land as big as one OF our average
sized states until they read the pro.
vision in the proposed treaty between
our country and Denmark whereby we
are to pay S20,000,000 for the Danish
West Indies and, m addition, relin.
quish to Denmark all our claims to ter.
ritory in Greenland.
If you will look at a recent map of
Greenland you viii see the name
"Pearyland" across the upper part of
1t. This is the land discovered and
explored by Admiral Peary. He and
other American explorers were the
first to visit and map the coast line of
the greater part of northern Green
land and Peary discovered that it was
an island.
1t has always been the recognized
right of q nation to claim sovereignty
over land discovered by its subjects.
Spain got title to a big slice of Amer
lea through Columbus. Under this
title-by-discovery claim the United
States could claim all of northern
Greenland except the Danish settle
ment of $4,000 square miles and 1900
population on the southern coast oppo-
site Iceland. But this is only one
twenty-ifth of the area of Greenland.
Now Denmark wants it all.
The average American will be likely
to say, "For goodness sake, let Dem
mark have it and good riddance; what
do we want of that iceberg?"
The chances are that we don't want
it, and that it would never be any
good to US. Still, there is another pos
sibility. When the United States
bought Alaska it was thought by the
majority of people to be barren and
worthless, but last year it shipped us
in goods eight times the value of the
purchase price, and now coal is coming
to the Alaskan coast by rail to help
lower the price in California. Spltz-
bergen, far up beyond the Arctic circle,
has recently become of immense value
because of the discovery there of min
erals. Dispatches have told of the
return of members Of the Stefansson
Canadian Arctic expedition with news
of the discovery of great fields of ma
tive copper in Prince Albert land, as
far north as Greenland.
Canada is exploring the lands of the
Arctic with the intention of extending
her authority all the way to the pole,
on the chance. of finding coal, iron,
copper and possibly gold.
But the development of those re-
gions, if they are ever to be developed,
to be the province of the ma
tons of the SHOWS, like Norway, Swe-
den, Denmark and Canada.

coiFFUREs ARE PLAIN, THOUGH
OF REAL ELEGANCE.
Bsndeau Of Cut Jet Is a Particularly
Handsome Ornament for One Form
Pretty Arrangement Of
Girls Hair.

1t is now the fashion to dress the
hair, in the evening, very simply and
very close to the head at the sides.
Artificial waves are not considered
at all correct, nevertheless the hair is
waved slightly, and very skillfully.
The idea is that these large loose
waves should be a perfect imitation
of natures best work, writes ldalia de
Villiers, Paris correspondent of the
Boston Globe.
A couture with a cut jet bandeau
was copied from a portrait belonging
TO the directoire period. At the sides
the hair clings to the head, but at the
back it is raised high over an invis-
ible frame. Then the handsome ban
deau of cut jet is passed right round
the head and pressed well down on the
forehead in front.
To add to the early Josephine effect
there is n little string of cut jet
passed under the chin.
l have seen n similar ~headdress
made of seed pearls, transparently set.
with real diamond barettes at the sides
and a string of valuable pearls to form
the chin strap. 1t was a very beautiful
ornament.
My sketch shows a pretty couture
for a young girl. Here the hair is
made to look as though it had been
cut short and curled. This effect was
obtained by a clever manipulation of
the long hair at the back and sides, the
twisted in ends being held in place by
curved h%airpins.
The side parting is more fashionable
h a ever, and some of our Partisan
beauties are having their hair dressed
in the picturesque style which was as
ISOLATED with the beautiful actress,
Mrs. Brown Potter, % years ago, that
is TO say, the side parting, with the

but a rectangular piece of the fabric
takes the place of one at the back. II
Is ornamented with three buttons at
each side.
1t will be noticed that the skirt e x
tends below the shoetops, but lacks
much of reaching the instep. This
length is approved, by style makers, but
many women cling to the shorter
skirts, and, since feet are so daintily
clad, there is every reason for allowing
them this privilege.
The ingenuity of those who create
new caps and negligees and other dain-
ty belongings for wOmankind has been
put to its annual test. Before the
holidays these luxuries that women
love blossom out at their best, and
they must be like and unlike those
that have helped make other holiday
times radiant. Whether they were ever
more beautiful or not cannot be deter
mined. 1t is certain they were never

each other. Now cover each half with
two circular pieces of c%retonne or
denim. You see, the space between
the cut edges will make it possible to
fold the pad. The c%retonne or denim
can be pasted to the ~pasteboard semi
circles or their edges can be whipped
together. 1t will be necessary to stitch
the material along the straight edges
OF the half circles so that the paste
board will no slip. On the inside of
each semicircle stitch material to form
pockets for envelopes, writing paper,
stamps and IN address book. Little
pieces of tape could also be supplied to
hold a pen and a pencil.

dor of gold or silver cloth, yelled with
the sheerest fabrics or laces.
There is nothing prettier for the
short boudoir or breakfast coat than
either plain or printed crepe or soft
silk, with the limpest of silk lace
draped over it. Tassels or. pendant or
naments made of silver or gold cloth,
and ribbon, as always, are found in
company with these materials.
Two pretty caps are shown in the
picture given here. At the right an
open-meshed silk lace with crepe de
chine make the cap, and small chif-
fon roses add touches of color to 1t.
The lace is caught back at each side
of the face by them. Small flower
like pendants on q silver cord are made
of silver tissue, and they furnish and
weight the hanging ends of lace. This
cap is very easy to make, for the
lace and crepe are basted together and
given to the hemstitcher to be set to-
gether by machine stitching.
The cap at the right is made of a
net-top lace, with the plain edge frilled
about the face and the escalloped edge
overlapping the plain edge of a second
strip of lace. At the crown of the

OF these are wooden vessels with semi
Diesel auxiliary power propellers, and
the others are steel. The value of the
vessels building or contracted for is
$32,0OO,OOO, and a dozen shipbuild-

GRAY HAIRS NEED NOT WORRY
Frequently Result of Run Down Con.
dition of the System, and Natural
Color Comes Bach.

Tie first gray hairs are a source of
alarm to every woman, and the rapid
Embarrassing numbers may. II she is
unwise, lead her to experiment with
hair restorers and dyes. Hair dyes
are a delusion, for their effect is only
temporary, and 1t is necessary to have
the hair retouched very frequently as
IT grows out around the head.
However. the first gray hairs need
not be a cause for alarm, for very
often they show a rundown condition
of the system and a lack of nourish-
ment of the scalp, or, nervous exhaus-
ton. BY building up the general
health, massaging the scalp so that IL
will get the required n%ourishment from
the blood, and by thoroughly relaxing
or exercising to relieve nervous ten
sion. their number will not increase
and the gray hairs themselves win
sometimes grow out their natural color
for the remainder of their length

RadIum Production In Bohemia.

In the mining of uranium ore in Boz
hemia, 25,720 pounds of uraninite pre-
pared by smelling. having an average
value of $471.50 per 100 pounds of an
average value of the different uranium
compounds, there were produced In the
government mine in Joachimsthal 1925
pounds Of an average value of $252.5O
per 100 pounds.
The government factory for radium
compounds produced compounds n
tanning 1.754 grams (27.07 grains) Of

tied at the back with wide black rib
bon.
One of our favOrite French actresses
is trying to make the "Polaire head
dress" popular again, but this style is
too remarkable for the taste of refined
women At the same time the effect of
short curled hair is, as l have just said,
in favor. In Paris they are making
lovely bands for the hair of seed pearls
intermingled with a scroll work of
silver filigree.
l have also seen plaques of silver
filigree fastened to bands of turquoise
blue velvet, to form n hair ornament.
The style of headdress which we have
decided to call the headache band" is
again creeping into favor. These bands
are really very pretty when correctly
arranged and when they are not too
large. But it is not every woman, or
girl, who knows how to arrange a band
of this genre effectively. 1t is not
enough to pass a length of ribbon
round the head and tie it-just any
where.

Angora Collars Instead Of Fur.

Soft, fuzzy Angora collars and cuffs
take the place of fur or leather In the
collars and cuffs of some knitted wool
sweaters, and, especially in white, are
exceedingly becoming. Occasionally a
designer has been kind enough to make
these fluffy white wool collars and
cuffs adjustable so that they may be
worn with a dark sweater or not, ac-
cording as their owner wants to be
practical or effective, and the scheme
Is a good one.

Useful Little Gift, Suitable for Man

Here is a handy suggestion for a
birthday gift which should be highly
appreciated, for the gift will do for
either a man or a woman. A portable
writing pad will prove quite useful to
the person who has no writing desk In
her room, and will be more than valu-
able to the transient person. The
beauty about this particular writing
pad is that it can be easily made by
the amateur.

25 TO 90 TOURING
CARS DAILY PASS
THROUGH DICKINSON

When you come to think of it the
Red Trail is beginning to prove it's
value in many ways. rs to so tour
ing cars passing through a city daily
means that the motor car is becom-
ing a big factor for tourists and that
considerable money is left at each
shop.
One garage reports using over 500
gallons of gasoline day. Numerous
other supplies are also in demand.
Among the tourists passing through
here Thursday were R. M. Overbaugh,
wife and daughter, and w. K. Kup-
kufske and wife, from Hartland,
Wisconsin, who were headed for the
Yellowstone park. Mr.. Overbaugh
said they have thoroughly enjoyed
their trip even if the mosquitoes were
numerous. They struck lots of rain
around Fargo and the Kupkufske car
was the cause of some delay. After
getting some repairs at Bismarck
they have been making good time.
One of the most impressive sights
vet experienced was that of a North
Dakota sunrise viewed from the top
of a butte where the party camped.
The broad expanse of the prairies
dotted with varied colors of crops
and streaked with trees in the draws
and creeks always makes a lasting
impression on the eastern visitor.

HALLIDAY DEFEATS DICKINSON

Halliday defeated Dickinson Sun
day at Halliday by the score of 9 to
0. The game was really more inter-
esting than the score would indicate
as Halliday made all their runs in
two innings, six in the sixth and
three in the seventh. Gardner
pitched a rattling good game for
Halliday and was backed up by the
Halliday team in errorless style.
Northrop was strong with the ex-
ception of the two above mentioned
innings and should have gotten away
then but for three unfortunate errors
in the outfeld. The Dickinson team
was off very much in their hitting
and their all around playing seemed
to be much effected by the long ride.
Even at that Halliday deserved to
win as they got more hits and played
a better fielding game. This is the
second game lost this year by the
locals, their last defeat being on June
4th at Glendive. Since that time
they have handed Mandan three de-
feats, New England one, Dunn Center
one, Halliday one and Beach two.
This is certainly a record for any
team to be proud of and the two
games lost were without a doubt lost
to two of the best teams in the state.
Play Glendive Sunday
The locals play Glendive return
game here on Sunday and a battle
royal is expected. On the 23rd they
go to New England and Halliday
plays return game here on the 30th.
