Too Frightened to Move.
What is worse than q fright
In the darkness Of night7

don't know OF anything worse. do
you? To be wakened from a sound
sleep by terrible noise, and then to be
unable to see anything because Of the
darkness. Is enough to mako little
shivers Of fear run all over the bravest.
No. sir. cannot think Of anything
worse than fright in the night
No one knows better than Hooty the
Owl how terrible such fright is, and
so he makes use of it in his hunting.
He uses hts fierce, terrible hoot to
waken unseen sleepers about him,
knowing full well that in their sudden
fright they are quite likely to move.
and that In moving they are almost
sure to make some teeny. weeny sound,
the rustic OF n leaf the scratch of claws
on bark. or the faintest of frightened
cries. His wonderful ears viii catch
that sound. no matter how faint 1t Is,
and in an instant his soundless wings
Will take him straight to the spot and
his great eyes, made for seeing in dark
ness, will find the unfortunate one. So
safety for the little sleepers of the
Green Forest lies in not moving SO
denly awakened by Hooty's terrible
voice.
No one knows this better than Big
Tom and Mrs. Gobbler. For themselves
heard Hooty that they were not fright
ened by his voice. even when wakened
from a sound sleep. But they did
worry about the young Gobblers. So
over and over again they charged the
youngsters that if ever they should be
awakened by Hooty's voice they must
not move. no matter how frightened
they were. 1t happened that several
times they were awakened. but always
when Hooty was at some distance. This
gave them chance to learn what his
voice was like: but always it sent lit
tie cold shivers over them and they
hoped that they never would hear it
any nearer. They were afraid that If
they did they would move in spite of
themselves.
Now, on the night that Hooty started
out to hunt for the Gobblers 1t just
happened that at last he a1ighted in

write appropriate jingles to go with them.
Here is a list of favors that have been
successfully used. with the little coupiets
that accompany them.
The ring, which indicates marriage.
plain band or ring with a large imita-
ton diamond is appropriate. Here is the

II this bright coin should come to thee.

An ordinary button is used with this
verse:
II this button comes your way,
Then unmarried you will stay.
A tiny flag or patriotic button is used
with this couplet:

Some patriotic work you'll do.
| A dried bean OF any kind Is used with

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets.

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailrent-ologged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing. healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles.
: If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition
or energy, troubled with undigested
foods, you should take Olive Tablets,
the substitute for calomel.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
purely vegetable compound, mixed
with olive oil. You will know them
BY their olive color. They do the
work without gripping, cramps or
pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief, so you can eat what
you like.

Designs Liberty Loan Day.

Secretary McAdoo. having designated
Wednesday. October "a, as liberty
loan day." the occasion probably will
be made holiday at all large posts
and cantonments, and program of
speeches, music and field day sports
given IN honor OF the occasion. War
Department officials hope to have the
larger gatherings addressed by fnan-
ciers of prominence. state or munich
pal officials, and men prominent in
commercial life, who will emphasize
the advantage of buying government
bonds as an Investment.
Plans are being perfected to enable
the enlisted men to buy bonds on the
installment plan, using the Army al
lotment system for the purpose. 1t is
hoped in this way to reach the great
majority of the enlisted personnel.
Prominent bankers have already prof
fered their services and the backing of
their organizations in order that the
man behind the gun may have oppor-
tunity to do his bit In floating the sec

September Fashions.

Blue is so decidedly the most popu-
lar color for fabrics for women's
clothes that 1t is perhaps not surpris-
ing to note that there is a scarcity
in the supply of blue dyes. Some of
the manufacturers of women's suits
and frocks are already out Of navy
blue and other dark blue. and they
find 1t difficult to get the materials
in these colors that they need. If
you have tried lately to use the homo
dye pot you probably know that navy
blue is scarce. In some makes 1t can
not be secured.
Brocades and fabrics studded with
beads and jet are much worn Tor
evening. Indeed. the effect produced
by women's frocks at some dances or
large receptions in the evening is one
of great brilliancy because the metal
lie threads and glass and metal beads
reflect the light in an almost dazzling
fashion.

They We're SO frightened that their very
fright saved their lives. That sounds
queer. but such things happen. You

They were so frightened by the near

couldn't have moved if moving would

HATS OF A NEW SHADE OF VELVET.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
.,al Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. September 29.-One finds
that red is the color of the hour when one
begins to speculate as to what is the best
of the brilliant shades Gray may be said
to rule the world. but there are quite
sufficient number of brilliant colors in the
autumn costumery to keep US all from
looking like widows and Quakers.
1t is the feeling of the experts in this
country who have been dealing with
French and American gowns for four
weeks that America will resolve it
self into a black-and-whi composition
before Christmas, but they are exploiting
the deep rich tones wherever they can hnd
good showing for them.
Purple and red are more important than
green in this list of strong tones and the
Overs have found admirable shades in
which to dip the fabrics In red there is
best root. also fame, burgundy. dregs OF
wine. naSturtiun. gerariun1. and now the
new tone called redwood, which no Amer
lean needs to be told is taken from our

coast
No Trouble With Dyes.
In going about from dressrnaker to
dressmaker to look at the new clothes
that are being bought by thousands of
women and men who have been sent to
New York from every state in the Union
ono hears the constant expression of
amazement that the art of dyeing has had
no setback since the war.
A great hubbub was raised last winter
about a probable scarcity of dyes We
were assured by those who deal in clothes
that there would soon be nothing left for
us in the way of color. Even the posi-
bility of maintaining good black was
looked upon with pessinlsm yet a
woman who deals with the buyers from
every state said most emphatHally that
she has had the best experience of her
life this season with cloths and dyes. She
went on TO explain that America might
not have the extraordinary subtlety in
tone that the French can get. but that the
dyes over here We're good, they were
artistic and. better than all, they could
interesting and very important.
Among these colors which the Americans
have produced are the various shades of
red, especially beet root and redwood.
They have also been able to get hold of
that odd purple which is seen in the peat
bogs and of which England makes so
much in her cloths. These shades Will
predominate in winter tailored suits.
