For with "Fordson Tractors
In cooperation with Mr. Ford, several welLkown re-
puable manufacturers hsve designed farm implements

The "Fordson is essentially farm tractor perfected
through years OF experiments by Mr. Henry Ford
himself.

Indians Are Fighters,

Camp Dix, N. J.-Full-blooded
Indians from 4 dozen great tribes
are today among the most enthu-
siastic and loyal American soldiers
training at Camp Dix. Bringing
all their native cunning as scouts,
their skill as ri1emen and their
hardit.ood in campaigning into the
army, they are 40 invaluable adj
dition to the Thirty-fourth, or
''Sandstorm" division, which was
modified at Camp Cody, New
Mexico, and after several months
is completing its training 1T this
cantonment. ~i ... ', F.. .''....
These Indians are now training
under commanders whom their
ancestors in many instances fought
during the Indian wars. Major
General Hugh l.. Scott, whose
fame as an adjuster of Indian
troubles is known to every Ameri-
can school boy, is the commander
of the camp, and Brigadier Gen
eral John A johnson, commander
of their division, saw his first mill
tary service in some Of the most
famous of the Indian campaigns.
Both of these officers are proud of
the records the Indian soldiers are
making, and predict splendid re-
turns from their work at the battle
front.
Sergeant Daniel Goodmsn, bet
ter known as Chief Goodman of
the One Hundred and Thirty
fsixrh infantry, speaks for every
Indian in the division when be
says:
Indian soldiers, especially those
who have been educated in Ameri-
can schools and. have learned
American ideals, are proud to be

war to help sustain those ideals.

those Indians who failed to pass
the physical tests and were re-
iected for army service"

Everything, from richest furs to
kitchen aprons and war overalls, was
given a chance in the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
IT was a real exposition of practical
garments of ali sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely a competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs in women's apparel. The
garments were made to sell, not simply
for exhibition, and therefore one could
Judge from them the standards reached
and the progress made in public taste.
1t was a valuable and interesting ex-
hibit.
There was a great deal of interest in
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work in factories, munitions
plants, gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made. with tr0u-
sers instead Of skirts and usually in
one piece with a blouse. Several varie-
ties of overalls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected for the eternal feminine may

NOW CALLED NICKEL-SlLVER
WelI-Known Metal Has Been Relieved
From the obIiquity of Bearing
German Name.

One Of the largest matchmaking
concerns in this country has recently
changed the name of the alloy here
tofore known as German silver, and is
now marketing this commodity as
nickel-silver, and publication devoted
to the metal industry suggests that
the word silver be eliminated entirely,
Us there is no silver in the combina-
ton. This publication says: ''If the
nickel is taken from an Is per cent
German silver alloy only a two and
one brass will remain. Why not then
call the compound 'nickel-brass,' or, if
commercial objections are too strong
to be overcome at once, why not call it
nickel alloy? The various contents of
nickel may be designated by utilizing
the different percentages that the al
10y contains. Thus, 4, 6, 8, 10, IL, 10,
Is per cent, etc., nickel-alloy. 1t is
fact that. some manufacturers are al
ready designating the material now
being sold as Sheffield plate as sill
ver-plate on a nickel base We see
no reason why the same argument
does not apply to the alloy being called
nickel-silver."

brim is wider at the right side than
anywhere else and has beautiful up
ward roll to the left.
Just below is a lovely hat in dark
brown satin with the entire underbrim
covered with tightly curled ostrich
f1ues, also in brown. These very short
curled flues look like Persian lamb fur.
The hat is finished with smart, wired
bow and in this shape the brim wfdens
at the left.
The big picture hat at the right is
Of black panne velvet faced with plain
velvet. There is not much more to
say of it except that it's brim is soft,
it's lines marvelously becoming and its
crown embroidered with wheat and
flowers in heavy silk floss. At the
other side of the group small, droop-
ing-brimmed hat of porcelain blue felt
makes one waver in allegiance to big
hats. The felt is overlaid with crepe
georgette in the same color and for
trimming there is a generous bow of
wide grosgrain ribbon, matching the
hat in color.
None of these shapes have rigid
brims or crowns-each of them is sim
ply trimmed and each proclaims itself
the work of some skilled and clever
milliner.

WANTED-A WIFE
AND A FAMILY.

The predicament that Pro-

basis for the extremely enter

While of course Madame

the original stage success that
it has been modelled from, yet
certain changes have been made
that in:.cdEra a punch and con-
slant tension not so visible in
the play.
Prof. Sherry, an ingenious
and care-free young man, finds
that by inventing a wife and
rapidly growing family, he can
secure various sums of congrat
ulatory money from a rich un-
Gle in Greece.
But unfortunately, uncle, who
so kindly has consented 70 stay
away to date, decides to come
back and visit his now seeming
ly converted nephew and the
wonderful wife and family he
has heard so much about.
This situation demands hero
ic measures and Professor Ed

professor of dancing) sets out
to find a wife and family. His
adventures while trying 70 10
cate something suitable Will
convuIse the most confirmed
crouch, because the situations
are so unbelievably funny that
one finds a grin stealing over
ones face without any effort
whatever.
Worse and worse, is the FACT
that Edward is really engaged

him in his dancing school. AND
