BIG FEATURES AT
'TRI-STATE FAIR
Dramatic Story Of the Worlds Great
est Conflict to Be Attraction
at Burlington, Starting
V4s August 10.

1.-THE Worlds War" which is the
feature attraction at the Tri-State
fair at Burlington for five big nights,
starting Monday. August Is, is the
latest and most elaborate master
piece Of the Thearle-Duffield Fire
works company. 1t is marvellous as
an exhibition OF twentieth century
pyrotechnics and has a wonderful
vivid dramatic story Of the worlds
greatest conflict.
''The Worlds War" is presented on
mammoth open-air stage $50 feet
wide, and over three hundred living
actors take part in the spectacle. 1t
pictures the siege and destruction of
a city on the frontier of France and
Belgium country in which every
great nation has fought on one side
or the other From its quaint archi-
lecture the place might be a Flemish
town. ItSis strongly garrisoned. One
has glimpse of long lines of trench
es, Notifications and the camp of an
army. The enemy launches land
and air attack. Aeroplanes and dirigi-
bles manned by living operators
swarm over the city, dropping bombs.
Long columns of infantry storm the
trenches. Siege guns roar. Machine
guns, deadliest Of modern military
weapons, sweep the enemy ranks
with steady streams Of fire. Armored
automobiles train their rifles on the
enemy. Wireless towers splitter
messages across the fighting field.
photographs flash signals. Under the
rain of shot and shell the Gothic ca.
thedral falls in ruin. Public edifices
and private dwellings go up in
flames. Soon the town is a smoking
and blackened waste.
The performance closes with a
$500 display of Thearle-Duffield
fireworks nightly. In this dazzling
display, liquid bombs will be shown
by what seems the magic Of pyro-
technics, gorgeous rainbow will be
hung across the heavens from hori-
zon, tribute to the famous 32nd
Rainbow division.

HAPPY TREASURE HUNT
After Amateur SIeuths Searched Over
Entire Field They Found Box
With Treasure In

Everybody had good time at the
public playground last night. There
We're lots of grown-ups there and
more children. All the swings, teeter
boards. basketball grounds and sand
boxes were in use from seven o'clock
until dark.
Several willing little guides showed
strangers all Of the equipment and ex
planned just what swings the four year
old children were supposed to use
and what ones the big folks swung in.
They also pointed out the playground
wonder, little Margaret Ewers. four
years old, who slid down the chutes
one time right after another and never
blinked an eye. The other youngsters
who did this stunt were ten and
twelve years old and upwards.
The special feature of last nights
play was treasure Eat which
started promptly at seven-thirty
o'clock. The hunters were lined up
and given instructions as to how to
begin the game and were tipped off
where the search was to start from.
When they reached this place they
found a hidden rhyme with directions
as how to proceed further. There
were ten Of these hidden verses and
the Treasure was not found until all
ten OF the rhymes had been discovered
and their instructions carried out.
Floyd Happs was the lucky man and
unearthed the prize. 1t was box and
when it was opened it contained sew
eral smaller prizes which were later
awarded to the champion basketball
players and runners in the foot and
hop races of the evening. These other
winners were: Floyd Happs, in basket
ball; Harry Diamond, pole climbing;
Agnes Altman, spool race; and Hilma
Pearson, chutes race.
1t grew dark before all Of the con-
tests could be put on, so these will be
enjoyed Wednesday evening at seven
o'clock.

Of Interest bWOnen
ECONOMY CAPE OF BLACK SATIN
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

You can't get away from the fash
ion for capes, even if you do not care
for them.
They are as thick as destroyers on
an airplane route from Newfoundland
to the Azores. The choice to make
is between capes. not between a coat
and a cape. You may be extrava-
giant and buy half a dozen; you may
take simple frockfand throw over
it cape made of two or three con-
trasting shades of tulle bordered with
ostrich feathers or sable. Surely, that
is a bit of extravaganza. And yet
there are women who indulge in it
this first summer of peace.
Also Demure Ones.
You may have a dark brown or
blue cloth cape lined with foulard,
with straps that go around the waist
and over the shoulders, and use it
panon or as a wrap to keep off the
dust of the city or the chill of an
evening.
Between these two, one standing
for economy and one for eXtrava-
gance. there are agreeable COM
promises If one does not wish to
indulge in a garden of capes, little
thought. some ingenuity and good
judgment will result in a cape that
serves for all occasions and does not
make you conspicuous at any time
Every woman knows how hard it is
to get a garment that viii appear we'll
on different occasions.
1t is said that in Paris women who
could not afford two evening gowns
wore their decollete. sleeveless frocks
to the matinee.
Once upon time there was large
segment of American women who
did practically the same thing. They
wore their evening gowns in the
afternoon. with tulle guimpes. But
that was in the days of real O'clock
parties when the shades were low
cred. when punch was served. when
there was music and dancing. ice
cream and cake. and when women
tried to lok their loveliest.
The Cape of Economy.
Maybe those days will come back,
if the word keeps shifting around
and women feel that things are too
uncertain for them to spend much
money: but whether they come or
not there are garments that combine
qualities which make them quite per-
MISSILE and acceptable for different
occasions.
One can get hold of cape that
serves for any afternoon and does
its duty agreeably and with anna bill
itv in the evening.
Such costume is shown in the
sketch The woman who wears it
knows it is success.

immense hip drapery, narrow hem
and broad roll collar. The cape
is lined with black chiffon. except
where the drapery opens into wide
pockets at the hips: silver cloth is

what he is out now for anyway. 1t
isn't even dusk yet and 1 thought he

"Of course. it isn't" replied Jenny
Wren. Il see Boomer in the late
afternoon almost every day. On
cloudy days I often see him early in
the afternoon. He's a queer fellow
is Boomer. Such a mouth as he has!
/ suppose it is handy to have a big
mouth If one must catch all ones
food in the air. but it certainly isn't
pretty when it is wide open
/ II never saw a mouth yet that was
pretty when it was wide open" re-
torted Peter. who still was feeling d
little put out. i've never noticed
that Boomer has a particularly big
mouth"
We'll. he has, whether you've no.
ticed it or not" retorted Jenny Wren
sharply. Hes got a little bit of a
bill, but great big mouth. l don't
see what folks call him a Hawk for.
because he isn't a Hawk at all. He
| is no more of Hawk than | am and
thank goodness I'm not even related

II believe you told me the other day
that Boomer is related to Sooty the

have such a good memory. Boomer
