she affects in 'Idolaters,' which will
be shown at the Strand theatre, Mon

Posed before an image of the sphinx

silken gown sweeping over a glass
panel through which pours golden
light. she is the symbol of vanity.
Another costume that will attract
remark is a clinging creation of
cloth of gold, straight of line and un-
adorned except for cord around the
waist. This gown was worn by Miss
Claim at a recent picture ball where
she led the grand march. The Orien-
tai motif. ever dominant in her cos
tunes, is evident in a boudolr gar
ment. consisting Of harem trouser-
cites of chiffon. A panel of black vel
vet against which a long string of
nearls is outlined hangs from the
shoulders down the front Of this cos
tune.

SUBSTITUTES IN NEW PACKAGES
Size of Bags Changed to Facilitate
Sale, Says Food Administrator.

Size of Bags Changed to Facilitate
Sale, Says Food Administrator.
In order to facilitate the sale of
substitutes with wheat -four, the
Missouri division of the food ad
ministration has announced that
cornmeal, corn flour, barley -four
and oat flour may be packed in
packages of 16 and 80 pounds.
This is an amendment to the rule
which requires them to be packed
in I. u, 8, S, 10, IS. so and 100
pound packages. This ammend-
ment applies only SO long as the
present regulation which requires
one pound of substitute to be sold
with every four pounds of wheat
-four.
A pound~package of cornmeal,
corn -four, barley flour or oat -four
may be sold with 24t pounds of
wheat,four. If rye flour is sold as
substitute, a I6.pound package
of rye flour may be sold with the
a4t-pound bag of wheat -four.
To avoid the waste of cartons,
the food administration in few
special cases has authorized the
use of odd.sized cartons already
on hand. Jobbers and retailers
may continue to sell such pack
ages not. packed by themselves
without special permits, but in all
cases a special permit must be OBJ
tanned for packing or repacking
,7dd-sized containers except as
O utlined in the rule as amended.

cameIs In War.

Camels In war are stationed among
clumps Of acacia trees, with spy
mounted on camel's neck. This is
the safest place, for the camel, stand
ing with only his head above the trees,
looks like bit of the foliage In the
distance. Camels are good for desert
warfare. because they can go without
water so long and can easily carry
loads weighing from 400 to 500 pounds.

we felt the first dul thud when the
big drill struck the ground. and
marked the spot where the tig we'll

We arrived in Tahoka about ten
O'Clock. and found the town swarm
ing with automobiles and people
from every section, and a visit TO
the office Of the company showed
that they were kept very busy enter
tanning the people who visited their
headquarters.
At noon We were the guests Of
the OIL Company at the St Clair
Hotel, and a good meal was served.
and afier the drive through the brisk
wind that was blowing We enjoyed
the meal to the fullest extent.
The people Of rahoka are very
hopeful that the development now
started VIII result in great things for
the town. and they are watching ca
gerly and looking forward 10 the
bringing in Of a great well in due
time that will mean much for the fu

ference with the war savings iirec.
tors Of various other States learn
that IN every State in the Union
strenuous efforts are being nut forth
to complete the quota assigned by
the Treasury Department. II was
most strongly impressed upon our
minds that the signing Of the arnis.
tee did not materially lessen the de-
mand upon the Treasury for the ex.
penditure of money. II was pointed
out to us that during this fiscal wear
the Government would have 10 spend
over sls.000.Ooo.O00 and that for
