HEAT UNBEATABLE
EARLY AT BOSTON

Boston, Aug. IA shift of the
wind to the southeast brought tempo
rary relief from the hot wave here
early today driving the temperature
down to a minimum of 73. At S
a. m. there had been a rise of 2
degrees and the cloudless day and
lifeless air gave promise of another
scorching day.
Thousands of persons spent the
night out of doors on the common
and in parks and at nearby beaches.

Of the second branch of the work,
the speaker stated that it sought to
create good moral conditions near the
camps and to exclude vice and vicious
resorts. This is purely a negative
consideration and concerns itself with
what should not exist, but the work Of

greater than the other two. is in es-

The january Sale

Enters upon its second week tomorrow with
hundreds of odd lots of merchandise all over
the house. at prices surprisingly low-even for
a Mosby clearance sale.
But this is something more than an ordinary
January clearance sale.
1t must serve a double purpose-as a clear
ance and removal sale.
We do not want to carry any winter mer-
chandise into our new store home when we
move next summer.
SO we've cut prices deeper than ever this
January. But remember the sale ends with
January.
1t is not our purpose to String OUT the sale
indefinitely. What is not sold at the very
much reduced prices this month will not be
offered again this season at such low figures.

When in the cours of June events
it becomes necessary for the bride to
proceed to the altar, she is a wise
Woman who makes the most of her
maid of honor. Let the girls who pre-
cede her stateliness be arranged like
the May in costumes hat beft their
youth and the dignity of their mission,
and let the dress of the maid of honor
be varied just enough to accent her
presence and add another interest to
the spectacle.
Those who take upon themselves the
delightful task of designing costumes
for the wedding procession, have been
prodigal of ideas this year. But as
n mind they seem to have settled on
pale pink for the garb of maids and
flower girl. The pink is a mere blush
of color through net or lace, or in love-
ly georgette crepe, and it seems that
nothing else could be quite SO pretty.

TasseIs of All Kinds,

Tassels are used on afternoon frocks
as we'll as on party dresses. Chinese
tassels, which are usually made of
green, black and blue, with possibly a
bit of jade at the top, give color to a
dark gown. One is worn at the girdle
or one at each side Of the hips. Tas-
sells are worn in every way, but they
are not always Chinese. Some are
made of colored crystals, of pearls, of
rhinestones, of jet beads, of colored
silk floss and some of them are ap-
parently the kind that are sold in the
upholstery departments. 1t seems to
be the growing fashion to put some
kinds of a taSsel at each side of the
girdle, so that it will hang Just in
front of the hips. Evening wraps are
tied across the chest, with wide stream
ers that end in tassels; medieval
sleeves have their points held down
by tassels; trains are weighted with
a tassel to keep them on the floor;
some of the new high shoes have tas-
sells at the top in the European fash
ion, and tiny taSsels of ostrich feath-
ers OF curled silk are used on deep
collars.

laceS, worn over understands of pink
georgette, leave nothing to be desired
in beauty. The laces are forty inches
wide and not expensive. Dresses of
plain net with lace medallions set in,
or strips of lace joining the breadths
in the skirt, are used instead of net-top
laces by way of variety. Nets and ma
lines are the features of this years
bridesmaids gowns along with the
choice of pink as a background.
A scarf, hat and bag of pink geor-
gette crepe, trimmed with small, silk
handmade roses. make up a set for
the maid of honor that will enrapture
her and all beholders. Let us suppose
her In the same sort of gown that the
other maids wear with this addition,
she will be placed in the right way.
And if there are no other maids, a set
of this kind ought to fortify any girl
to the point of bearing the RESPONSE
bility of attending the bride alone. 1t
will cover her with glory.

found the answer. The question
is: what can 1 do, now that
my country is at war, to help? What
it with credit to myself and to the ad-
vantage of my community" Probably
the answer lies closer home than most
of us imagine. The first thing we
women must learn is-tO not be terri
fed. Some of those who are dear to
us-dearer than life, perhaps-must
follow the flag. We must school our
selves to be willing to see them go and
ncquit ourselves as beSeems first-class
m There is no use shaking hands
with trouble until we meet it, but If
we must meet it, let us meet it bravely.
The women of France have made a
glorious record for themselves and we
shall not be less courageous.
We can conserve food and clothing
against the time of need. Every house
wife who i've foodstuffs and elimi-
| mates all waste in her own household
is doing a patriotic duty, and there
fore it is nothing less than ill-bred to
tolerate waste at this time-or any
other time, for that matter. In rural
| communities ome can preserve and
can and dry more food for use next
winter than ever before, and something
in excess of the needs of their oWn
families. They may be called upon to
help those less fortunate than them
selves in the future, those who are
powerless to make provision in this
way. In some communities house
wives have already banded together to
can and preserve fruits and vegetables
to be put on sale when there is a mar
ket for them. This is in excess of the
food each provides for the future use
of her family.
Clothing is also to be conserved, es-
pecially that made of wool. This
doesn't mean that it is to be boarded,
but that a use is to be found for it
stantial garments are not be thrown
away simply because fashions change.
Now is the time to be frugal-in order
to be generous. Who knows what the
fate of France would be but for the
frugality of it's people?
Then there is a great work to be
done for the American Red Cross.
Money must be raised, hospital sup
plies provided, b%andages made-and
women must do this work. They are

BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
SchooIboys Make Device Which Will
Catch Half a Million Disease
Spreaders in Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or
so quarts of flies in a season will be
built this spring by some Of the boys
in the Grand avenue manual train
ing center. Irving P. Lorentz, the in
structor, is making a model, and will
G o have some of the boys construct
ing the device as a side line, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Journal.
A square framework is made of mar
row strips of wood, and within the
frame is placed a cone of wire net
ting. In the model Of Mr.. Lorentz an
ordinary glass jar is used in place of
the wooden frame. A banana peel or
similar refuse is placed as a bait at
the bottom of the trap. When the
trap is crowded with flies, they al be
killed by dipping the filled trap into
boiling water.
"The idea is excellent" Mr.. Lorentz
said. "The construction is simple, so
that seventh or eighth grade boys
should easily be able to make it. At
the same time it is inexpensive, the
cost of materials probably not exceed
ing so cents. If all the centers encour-
aged the making Of these traps, it
would prove a most effective weapon
against the fly. Such a trap would kill
off the flies before they wen got into
the homes"
