Licensing OF Boats.

Licensing of boats, as required
by the Navy Department, has been
proceeding rapidly in the Eighth
Naval District, but boat owners in
some parts of the District apps-
rently do not realize the necessity
of having their boats registered
and licensed. 1t is not the desire
of the Government to place any
hardship or unnecessary restric-
tions upon boat owners, but patrol
boats will soon be put into service
rounding up vessels not licensed.
Boat owners within the Second
Section of the Eighth Naval Dis
trict, which comprises waters from
Mobile Bay, Alabama, to Sabine
Pass, Texas, should Immediately
make application to the Licensing
Office, 215 Godchaux building,
New Orleans, La, for application
cards, which are to be filled out
and returned to that Office, when
licenses will be issued. No charge
is made for this license. All boat
owners should make immediate ap-
plication for these cards. Skiffs
or rowboats are not required to be
licensed, but all boats propelled by
machinery or sail must carry q
license to navigate" This H.
cense is in addition to any that
may have been issued already by
any Government Bureau.

According to a statement from
Washington, every man is $11.OO
richer than he was three years ago.
Maybe there is that much more
cash gone from the Federal trea-
sury for circulation, but it is lock-
ed up in the banks to the credit of
corporations and millionaires. The
country is full of money and other
kind of wealth, but not much of
the former is scattered promiscu-
ously in this neighborhood. - The

Searching on the gravel roads
continues to be a pleasing pastime
for some people, We are informed.
Not satisfied with the generous
speed limit of 20 miles an hour al.
lowed by the Police Jury they
drive 80 and 40 miles an hour.
1t is a certain fact that speeding
tears up the roads and will in
course of not a great while damage
the gravel roads badly. The pub
lie has gone to a great expense to
provide these roads and automo-
bile drivers ought to willingly and
gladly keep within bounds and
help preserve the roads. The peo-
pie who scorch, probably have
paid very little towards construct
ing the roads and yet injure the
roads. 1t shows a bad spirit and
means should be taken by the Off
GERS to catch and punish speed
fiends.

Save Your Shoes.

The proper care of shoes will not
only do much to extend the life of
the shoe, but will also improve its
appearance.
Keep the heels squared. A run
over" heel forces the counter out
of shape and often breaks it.
Avoid getting leather wet, but
when wet and muddy, gently wipe
off the mud instead of letting it
dry on and while the leather is
still wet, rub in a little warm oil.
The shoe should dry slowly. Do
not place it in a hot oven or on a
hot radiator, as intense heat and
cold are bad for leather and espe-
cially the changes from one to the
other.
Shoes should be kept clean and
we'll polished, as this prevents dirt
getting into the pores and rotten
the leather. The friction polishes
are preferable to the gloss polishes
as they contain wax which helps
to keep the leather soft.
The soles of shoes may be made
more pliable, durable and water
resisting by an overnight applica-
ton of linseed oil.
It is we'll for shoes to have rest
period, therefore, it is economy to
have at least two pair of shoes and
to change the shoes often. 1t is
also good for the shoe if one has a
pair of shoe trees which can be
placed inside the shoes while they
are at rest. Charlotte E. Carpen.

Egyptian panels of metal embroider-
ed tulle as the dominant drapery of
skirt
Too much cannot be said to i'm
press upon women this feature in
fashions, for unless one understands
that whatever is Egyptian is in fash
ion, one misses the keynote of this
season as it has advanced SO far. The
gowns of Alexandria, in the days
when Aphrodite was in rule, are not
reflected in the clothes of this season,
except in a few cases. by such artists
as Cabot and Premet. Lanvin, Bull
loz, Jenny and other designers take
up the more savage parts of Egypt
and go to the dancers and the tenn
pies for much of their inspiration.
1t is this kind of work that has
brought about the epidemic of straight
panels, usually transparent and
weighted with metallic work. These
panels float over and below the tight
fitting unders1ip which is suggestive
of the ornate in its sensuous form.
The black velvet bodice may or
may not be Egyptian Poiret evident

willing to take the word of an Orien-
tai scholar of such renown. 1t is Ian
win who has Joined the heavy black
velvet Persian bodice to the transpar-
ent, floating Egyptian skirt, and the
com bination is exceedingly good. II
is shown in the sketch today.
The gown has the bodice cut round
at the waist and straight across at
the neck. showing the kind of decol-
letage which has been generally
adopted into fashion this season. Be

of black tulle which are embroidered
in gold beads. The floating tulle
sleeves are edged with gold beads and

cuffs that hold the tube drapery in

Another feature of this winters

lining which is the foundation of all
clothes. 1t makes little difference
whether or not a transparent fabric
is used above it. The fact is that K
exists under all gowns. If skirts
