MOVIES INFLUENCING

Changes In Styles, Appearance

Chicago, H., Sapet 12,--"Girls will
be psychologically affected by moving
pictures" says dorado Taft, the
sculptor. "They see beautiful women
on the screen; then they go home and
practice for hours before the mirror.
The outcome? Graceful walking,
pleasant faces, fine compilations and
vivacity Still, the hoydenish and
caper-cutting movie actresses are a
bad influence"
In the opinion of Miss Indiana Gy-
bersor and Irish painter who has
studied in Paris and Madrid, the NOV

beautiful
"Ah, the rising generation of Chic
ago girls" she exclaimed. "One sees
a far, far larger number of charming

Cabaret dancing and rich pastry ruin

PRIZE PUMPKINS TO BE THERE
Agricultural Features of Valley Fair
Not TO Be NEGLECTED.


Lament over the passing of the old
fashioned agricultural fair with its
prize pumpkins and other orthodox
features is frequently heard nova
days, and 1t is a fact that the .clamor
for entertainment of an exciting ma
ture has done much to change fair
programs. This year in particular the
tendency has seemed to be away from
the things on which fairs once based
their bids for popularity. Exhibits OF
prize horses and cattle have given
place to more spectacular features.
With a view of offsetting this ten
dency the management of the Valley
fair, which takes place at Brattleboro,
VT, Sept 80 and Oct. l, has made a
special effort to maintain the stan
dard of it's regular exhibits Recogniz-
ing the demand for entertainment, il
has provided more of it than ever be-
fore-band concerts, vaudeville, air
plane stunts and specially races
but at the same time 1t promises
plenty of the regulation features
which have been missed at some of
the earlier fairs this season. Prize
pumpkins in abundance will be found
AT the Valley fair, together with cat
tie. sheep, swine, poultry and the
many other things for which the show
has so long been noted.
