introduced this year. so that . sea-
son-long vogue for it seems certain.
One Of the foremost American style
designers decided to sponsor q lace
season as q fabric conservation
measure. A bevy Of exquisite lace
frocks were introduced at q society
style show given as war fund bene-
ut. and the success of the lace dress
was at once assured.
Both black and white laces are
used, and heavy lace dyed to match
the color Of the wool material USED
to form the foundation OF the frock
Is favored as a trimming Tor smart
street dresses of serge, broadclotn,
etc.
The sketch offers a suggestion for
. graceful evening dress for q young
girl. A. very sheer foundation, either
Of chiffon, net or lightweight silk, Is
used, and the apron overskirt OF tai
feta matches this in color. The dress
fastens invisibly in the center back:
The wide sash of crisp taffeta Is tieo
in a fiaring bow at the back.
The little short-waisted empire
dress. develops attractively In lace.
Tiny knots Of ribbon flowers may be
set at intervals where waist and
skirt join and on the short puffed
sleeves.
Lace in black. white or colors is
used in the development of some OF
the most attractive costume blouses
shown this season. Neglige manu-
facturers are using lace in. great
quantities.
A simple straight slip Of silk or
satin may be turned into boudoir
garment Of beauty when graceful
oyerdrapery of lace is added.
A lace season should mean much
to the home dressmaker. AS an aid
to turning a last season dance frock
into a smart creation of this year
vintage lace is a veritable boon.

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and ohesply made st hemA,
but it beats them al for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have
found that they can save two-thirda
of the money usually spent for
cough preparations by using this
weIl-known old recipe for making
cough syrup at home. 1t is simple
and cheap, but it really has no equal
for prompt results. It takes right
hold of a cough and gives immediate
relief, usually stopping an ordinary
cough In "a hours or less.
Get ia ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour 1t into a pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar
syrup to make q full pint. If you
prefer, use clarified molasses, honey
or corn syrup instead of sugar
syrup. Either way It tastes good,
keeps perfectly. and lasts family
4 long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
it acts, penetrating through every
air passage of the throat and lungs
-loosens and raises the phlegm,
soothes and heals the membranes,
and gradually but surely the annoy
ing throat tickle and dreaded cough
disappear entirely. Nothing better
for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
whooping cough or bronchial asth-
ma.
Pinex is a special and highly con-
centrated compound of genuine Nor
way pine extract, known the world
over for its healing effect ON the
membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking
your druggist for "z1z ounces Of
Pinex" with full directions and don't
accept anything else. Guaranteed to
give absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded.

sammy nuhed out his feathers ana
raised his rather smart-looking cap.
When he had made himself look rs
big and important-appearing as he
possibly could he announced that he
would hear Happy Jacks story frsf.
ming with the trouble he had in Ahd-
Ing food: He told how Farmer
Browns Boy had given him q supply
OF nuts and corn and how he had
stored this supply away in hts store
house. Then he told how he had left
and on his return had found that
some one had stolen every nut and
every grain OF corn. Happy Jack was
almost fearful when he told this.
1T means that I'm likely to starve
this winter; It was that relocated
because found some Of the red hairs
from his coat"
All this time Chatterer was mutter-
ing to himself and finding it the hard
est work to: keep from interrupting
also he was making faces at Happy
talking Chatterer began. His story
was almost exactly like Happy Jacks.
He. too. had found his storehouse
empty Of everything that was in it.
He was certain that Happy Jack was
the thief because at the entrance OF
his storehouse he found some gray
hairs, hairs that could have belonged
to no one but Happy Jack.
Sammy Jay looked very wise as he
listened. They didn't know it, but
you know that Sammy knew exactly
what had happened. for he had seen
each Of the two rascals at the other
storehouse. He pretended to think
very hard. He scratched his head
He rolled up his eyes and gazed up
in the treetops. Finally he made his
decision.
IT must confess" said he. that
cannot see that either Of these quar-
relsome cousins has ANYTHING to
Chatterer, know. has more than ona
storehouse and has not lost all hii
supplies. Happy Jack may have lost
all of his, as he claims, but that makes
no difference. Each has stolen the
supplies Of the other. therefore each
has as much as he did in the begin
ming. Happy Jack can live on the
things he has stolen from Chatterer
and Chatterer has the supplies he has
stolen from Happy Jack. Therefore,
rule that If these two nuisances do not
stop quarreling they. should be chased
out Of the Green Forest
Every one applauded Judge Jays
ruling; that is, every one but Chat
terer and Happy Jack.

At The Theatre
At the Tulane Friday and Saturday

More thrilling than the most lurid
of movie dreams, yet true in every
particular, are the scenes pictured in
the great patriotic war lecture and
film, "Wake Up, America" which will
be given at the Tulane theatre Fri
day and Saturday. The lecture is to
be under the auspices of the Red
Cross, so people Of this city need no
other recommendation than that of
this widely-known organization. The
lecture is just what its name implies
a call to our loyal, but easy-going, peo-
pie to awake to the danger that threat
ems, and to realize the tremendous
magnitude of the task to which our
country has set herself. The stereop-
ticon slides and motion pictures show
what happens when unpreparedness
faces German ruthlessness. In pain
full contrast to peaceful scenes of in
dustrial activities in this country are
SHOWN ruined Belgium and bleeding
France. The underlying causes of the
war are shown-the ways by which
the German people have, for genera
tions, been inoculated with the false
and misleading doctrine that "might
makes right"

that the study of German be G.scon-
tinued for the period of the wa. He
believed that sure method of l,ilIng

Along with the elimination of German
he also asked that the new Ii of
German books for the next school
term be cancelled and recomn ended
that local school boards be instructed
to censor books already in use, re-
moving therefrom all semblanae of
pro-Germanism.
