A Curious Silhouette.

The sketch shows one of these new
hats with a silhouette that is curious
and may be awkward for number of
women. The material is black straw.

surrounded by a wreath of small pink
and blue flowers, as an evidence thaa

wholly lacking in this seasons fashions.
The back of the brim looks as though
some one had stacked canoe paddle
against the head. 1t goes as high as the
law allows. and it is fiat and rounded
at the back. The outer surface is COW
cred with wired ruff1es of black lace,
standing upright. The base of these
ruff1es is a narrow bandeau of the col

thoughtfully. He was considering
whether or not to tell Jerry about a
certain old hole in the very heart of
the Old Brier Patch which he and Mrs.
Peter kept as a. place of refuge. Jerry
noticed that he was hesitating
Don't tell me that I'm not safe from
them here" he cried. IF I'm not don t
know what 1 shall do. You see l haven't
any place to CO.
Peter made up his mind right away.
You are safe from them here, per-
fectly SAFE" said he. you see there is
certain hole. which l will SHOW you
II there is need. They will not come
They never do. They don't like these
old brambles well enough for that. But
now, while there are no leaves, they can
sometimes see good ways into the
Oid Br1er Patch, and, of course, that
means that they can shoot in here. But
II they come l will show you that hole
ana there we will be perfectly safe
they viii come. They never hunt me
now and they certainly never, never
would think of looking here for you. So
make yourself at home and rest easy in
your mind. Fuzzy (you know little Mrs.
Peter used to be little Miss FuzzytaiD
and l are delighted to have you here.
Please fell that the dear Old Brier
Patch Is yours"
Peter spoke SO earnestly that Jerry
Muskrat knew he meant every word.
Thank you, Peter" said he. Perhaps

thing for you, and II do you can count

count on Jerry Muskrat."
He little thought when he spoke how
soon that chance was coming. It was

Wrinkles a Drawback
to Beauty

Wrinkles disfgure. and a dry, sal
low rough skin spoils any woman's
good looks. To those whose skin
has reached this condition We sug-
gest the application Of Usit, a pure
nut-oil, liquid preparation (not a
cream or paste). 1t is the only thing
that will feed the hungry, dry skin
back to youthful smoothness, fresh
ness and plumpness and drive away
disfiguring wrinkles that come SO
quickly when the skin is not prop
erly nourished.
A few applications Of Usit prove
its worth. Apply at night when re-
firing. O'Donnell's Drug Store, Peo.~
pies Drug Co. or any first -clasd
dealer can supply It. It is a splen-
did Skin food. daintily perfumed,
AND a fine treatment also for sun

NEW HATS MAY CHANGE COIFFURES

portunities in the hat she buys she IS
not compelled through scarcity OF de-
Slams to wear what is not her styie.
Allscrowns are. not high; dozens OF them
are low. Some are square; others are
round.
Turbans swathed in tulle are the most
talked of novelty. but hat with a
brim that flares upward like the Einel
tower at the back is another novelty.
We may wear rulle on our hats ana
necks now and then, but we Will not
wear it all the time. There are other
things to distract and allure us In mil
linery.
Back Brim Flares Up.
Whatever the varieties that are Of
fered to us. the first innovation of the
season is the changed appearance OF
the brim. 1t has heretofore clung so
closely to the head that it either dipped
down to the collar line or at least did
its best to hide whatever hair one pos
sessed. No milliner seemed to consider
the coiffure as of any Importance. FOR
years we have pushed our hats down
over our heads, covering the brow, the
top of the ears and the back OF the
neck. Over this. the careful ones have
placed a veil. and naturally, the ha1r-
dressers despaired.
We have become so accustomed to
this brim that we failed to realize that
change might come at any moment.
The change was due, and it came in
January.
Smart women began to tilt their hats
further over their faces. letting them
go upward at the back. We saw that
brims were then intended to curve up
ward after they left the edge of the
ears. We began to worry about the
way we were arranging the back of our
hair. 1t would no longer be possible
to allow smart hat to cover a care
less coiffure, if the milliners were go
ing to turn the brims up and show the
back of the hair.
Our forebodings were justified. The
milliners did this very thing. They not
only turned the brim upward toward
the back after it covered the forehead,
but they deliberately smashed 1t back
ward and upward so that the entire hat
took on a new silhouette.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCKS WERE SLUGGISH.
Due to Proposed Extension of Federal
 Regulation Over Trade.

New York, Aug. 8.-The proposed extension of federal regulation over various lines of trade and commerce accounted quite as much as anything else for the further sluggish and un- certain course of stocks today.
 Shares of the telephone and tele- graph companies again weakened with Western Union at a new minimum, and packing issues were heavy on the severe arraignment of those interests by the Federal Trade Commission, which recommended control of that industry and it's many collateral branches.
 5 Wilson and Company was the most striking instance of this new develop ment, losing 1-2 points on steady offerings, but kindred issues offered better resistance.
 For the third time this week U. s. Steel repeated it's recent maximum of no, closing within the smallest fraction of that quotation at a gain of substantially one point.
 Rails were in the background, mak- ing no response in the last hour to the governments crop report which indicated conditions variably under those of the preceding month. Sales were 160,000 shares
 Bonds were variable, French muni- cipal and state issues hardening. Lib erty third 4 1-4's registered a new low record at 94.80. Total sales, par value, aggregated $5 925 GOO.
 Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

monds, a football field and plans are being made to include a swimming pool and some tennis courts Of course, there will be grand-stands but they will not amount to anything in comparison to the Polo Grounds or the Yale Bowl. That field is for the use of athletics; spectators are a second consideration.
 Going to Paris we find the Y. M c. A.has an athletic field of fifty acres where the Sammies can and do play about every game known to Ameri- cans or Frenchmen. Both armies are game just to learn what there is in it; and this policy is doing a whole lot to teach each the customs of the others.
 So it goes wherever there is any part of our army or navy, that is in so far as athletic fields are concerned. The army isn't in sport for commercial purposes. You have to take your hat off to the men in uniform for they are making sport ideal in no time whatever Sport is at last serving it's purpose in this nation-recreation and physical fitness And every soldier who gets into the army sport game sees this side of it very clearly. A6I us Have d comparison or so or army and civilian sport.

He also brought out the Gold Leaf gelding Franklin for c. H. Anthony i of Muncie, Ind. and raced several good pacers over the Indiana tracks before he located at Lexington.
