DRY SEASON COMING, BE
CAREFUL

You wouldn't flip a cigarette OF
cigar stub into a can of powder, and
yet many people do just as dangerous
and foolish tricks.
Rubbish is allowed to accumulate in
out of the way corners, in unoccupied
rooms, in Easements and against
buildings. Oily rags accumulate in
garages and around factory buildings,
and camp fires are left burning along
the roads and in the timber.
The dry season is coming on and
carelessness such as this costs the
people of this nation tens of millions
of dollars annually.
A cigarette stub or match careless
" thrown into a pile of rubbish or in
the grass along the road may wipe out
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty or destroy hundreds of acres of
grain, not to mention lives. Be care
full

STAY IN SCHOOL UNTIL IS is A
GOOD INVESTMENT

The value of staying at school is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
compiled by the bureau of education
and now being distributed to boys and
girls thruout the country by the chill
dren's bureau from Washington, d. c.
From a study of large number of
actual cases it has been found that at
20 years of age the boy who had re-
manned in school had received $4,000
more salary than the boy who left
school at Ia, and that the better edu-
Gated youth was then receiving 5000
a year more in pay, according to the
Associated Press, quoting from the
bureaus report.
"This is equivalent to an investment
of $4,000 at per cent" the state
ment said. Can boy increase his
capital as fast in any other way?
'From that time on the salary of the
better educated boy will rise still more
rapidly, while the earnings of the boy
who left school at IA Will increase but
little
While wages have increased with
the war the proportions shown in a
table of weekly earnings still hold
true. The boy who left school at ID
at the time of the investigation was
made, received an average of "a a
week, his wages increasing each year
to 81 a week at IS. The boy who re-
NAMED in school until he was Is be-
gan work at $40 week. At 20 the
salaries were $3.50 a week for the
boy who left school early and SIS for
his better trained competitor. At %
they were earning $12.75 and $3l re-
speetively, and total wages up to that
time had been $5112.50 and S7,337.50,
so that the boy who remained in school
had earned nearly so per cent more
ir eight years than the other lad in u.

Gloves That Are New

A wide variety of gloves are now on
the market. There are many becom-
ing styles for everyone. And then
there are those styles that only she
who is slender of hand and graceful of
movement may wear.
Amongst the latter the most popular
is the unglaced beige-colored kid of
quarters length. Sometimes the
monotony of color is broken by wide
black silk stitching, which is again
edged with stitching of the same color
of the gloves.

It's all right for you to start out
reforming folks but if you can induce
some candid friend and still more
candid enemy to give their frank opin-
ions of you, you'll figure out you have
lifetime job of reforming without
going outside of the family.
If you wish to find out how inef-
ficient you are, keep a stop watch on
your actual working time every day
and then see whether the boss may
not have more reason to reduce your
wages than advance them.
A girl feels complimented if you
call her feather-footed, but not of you
call her feather-headed, and yet
If you can only believe half you
hear, at least you may train yourself
to believe the right half.
The business is bound to prosper
whose employees engage in hot argu-
ments over methods of advancing it.
Until you understand that loud talk
ing which you consider convincing is
more likely to be irritating, you
haven't learned much.
About all you can say of some folks
and keep sweet in your comments, is
that the longer they live the longer
they live.
1t takes more brains to make liv-
ing than it used to.
You may not think well of your en-
vironments but then nobody does.
If everybody should choose his
friends and relatives and could have
good health, there would be practical
ly no unhappiness in the world
If you are so small that you care
what little minds say about you, you're
not big enough for worthwhile people
to notice.
The people who mostly take others
troubles to heart seem always to have
more than their own share of troubles
that nobody takes to heart.
A man may be kind-hearted and
still be worthless.
All the pinheads are not dead.
There's the one who makes jokes
about the influenza.
What is more irritating than to see
an over-dressed fat woman rocking in
hotel parlor.
Always run away from stranger
who wishes to do you a favor, unless
he's plainly intoxicated, and then run
away before you have to do him one.
Women secretaries will never be
wholly successful until they learn that
man does not want his office desk
Strengthened up and his letters thrown
away every few minutes just because
it makes the office look mussy to have
papers lying around.
When children obey cheerfully it
means that both they and their par
ents are well bred.
Who remembers the time when a
young man who had saved up hun
bred dollars and had a job at eight
OF ten dollars week thought he had
a perfect right to be married and be-
gin housekeeping and the girls par
ents thought she was making good
match to get a youth thrifty enough
to have that much money?
The Point of View
If to conquer yourself
You must break your spirit,
It's not worth while.
Somehow the race of self-conquer-
ers seems to be
A gray race of hardened face
And eamy hide
And lines of suffering deeply drawn
On parchment skin:
Ambition dead or dying
And the look in the haggard eye
Of one who has given up life
For craven image
You see them on the common way
Where once they trod on feathery
feet
The fleeting clouds
Or scaled the high-hung cliffs
Aurerius it was who said
No life is measured by its years

One of the first thoughts is of the
beach and the beach costume. 1t is
of ultimate Importance that one is
quite as we'll dressed at the beach as
at any more formal occasion. And
the new designs are everything that
one could desire in smartness and
style.

SEWING TIME FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER


search for materials and designs the
choice is so bewlderingly interesting
that the pleasure derived far over
balances the trouble.
Bingham, organdie, linen and dotted
swiss are few of the fabrics that are
offered One perfectly exquisite little
frock was made of white linen and
trimmed with ruffles at the sleeves
and neck of raspberry colored organ
die. The tiny pockets that were di-
rectly beneath the high waist line were
embroidered with worsted the same
color as the ruffles. The effect was
one of youth, and fancy and the mag
nation could not possibly conceive of
a more likable creation.
The Invasion of the WaistcOats
Waistcoats have made most sue
cessful drive and have completely en-
trenched themselves in fashions favor.
Every suit feels incomplete without
one Even on the one-piece dresses
little vest effects appear. And, after
all, they are quite the smartest thing
that one could desire. There is such
an opportunity to bring ones favorite
color on a suit thu the medium of a

Daring COlOrs Used

The suit shown here with the
checked skirt section is one of the
many attractive models that are being
shown this season. The waist section
is simple in style and the collar and
cuffs are trimmed with the same
checked material. The gathered
boomers, made of the same material
as the waist, show beneath the skirt
and give chic appearance to the en-
tire suit. Care should be taken when
wearing a suit as extreme in color as
this, and only the young girl OF par
ticularly charming young matron
should attempt it.
Panels have even found themselves
on bathing suits. 1t seems that they
are an indispensable feature of every
costume. The model shown boasts OF
both a back and front panel. The
front one is held down by the belt at
the waistline while the back panel
flies loose. In this design the bloom
ers show also a tiny bit, indeed very
few suits of this season are without
these pretty bits of gathers and ruff
files showing beneath.

ston was all in at the end and the
decision went to Malone.
Crowd Comes Slowly.
At 2:30 p. m within only an hour
of the big event careful estimate
,by men familiar with big crowds
placed the attendance at $4,000.
Nor was the crowd pouring in. The
late ones were arriving in small
groups and it appeared as if not
more than half the $4,000 seats
would be filled. Neither Willard
nor Dempsey were at their arena
quarters.
At 1920 D. m. the crowd had
stopped coming and the arena was
apparently a little more than half
full. The last preliminary was
still running.
The bout was a close one and
there were many cries of mo"
when the decision was given to
Tremain. Many thought that it
was deserving of draw.
At their respective quarters this
morning it was stated that both had
slept well and were ready for the
contest. From managers and prin-
cipals came renewed expressions
of confidence.
The original hour for the cham
pionship fight to begin, namely, 3
p. m, remains unchanged, but pro-
moters and managers all have
agreed that on account of an
nouncements and other delays it
probably will be $3.50 before the
bout begins.
Tex Rickard, promoter, picked
$3.50 as the probable hour when
time would be called for the first
round. Because of the size of the
crowd, he said, the exact hour
could only be approximated.

Authorities were undetermined ear

The shooting occurred during an
attempt of white officers of the

after a rough and tumble fight near

clashed and later shots were fired
when the police and military Off
GERS sought to disarm the negroes.
Fourteen of the negroes were ar
rested.

Few men even heard their names
as they were announced. Only
their seconds seemed really inter
ested. AT the intervals, the latter
crawled through the ropes and
sprayed them with wafer and
cooled their spines and pulses with
ice. At lis p. m the band had
apparently given up efforts to en-
terrain.
The only thermometer in the
press stand rose straight up to 120
degrees, which was at the top OF
the tube. A place was found for it
under the flooring away from the
sun. Here it dropped back to 100.

graph instrument fts fervor re
turned and in 10 minutes it was
again at 120, leaving to conjecture
where it might have gone in a
longer tube. Its owner said it was
a guaranteed instrument.
Johnny Rose of st. Paul and
Battling Bellair of Brooklyn went
six rounds in the fourth prelim-
mary. Rose was declared the
winner on points by the referee.
At 1875 o'clock many seats in the
better sections were still vacant
and row upon row in the far
bleachers were unoccupied.
Two hours before the start of the
big bout ticket spectators in the
downtown district still had big
punches of unsold pasteboards
which they were offering at an ay-
erage Of 10 per cent below their
face value. Sixty dollar tickets
were quoted at $50; $40 at $33 and
SIS at $12. Even these reductions
failed to move the surplus supply
and it was evident that the specu-
Iators would lower their prices
still more If they were to sell out.
A number of special compliment
tary tickets also made their ap-
pearance in the hands of specula-
tors and were easily identified
owing to the fact that the corners
of the cards had been clipped. One
man after buying such compli-
mentary took it to Tex Rickard and
asked i'm if it was good. The pro-
moter was SO indignant over the
abuse of the privilege that he tore
the ticket into fragments and
threw them on the floor with the
remark:
1T was good, but it isn't now"

Ralston, dark, bullet headed, face

him almost at will, meanwhile
the Joliet mans swings.
The latter's head was low and cor
and apparently he didn't
care what hit it,

his gold teeth and swung
harmlessly.

Nothing was known concerning the
