WAR VETERANS HEAR MANY
MISLEADING STATEMENTS

Washington, Dec. 81 have been
informed" writes a boy from Mississ-
ippi, that all soldier boys would rd-
ceive $500, or $50 a month for twelve
months. Please write me if this is true"
1t is true that the Federal Board OF
Vocational Education, TO whom this
letter was sent, retrains disabled ser
vice men in order that they may be-
come self-supporting citizens. 1t places
them in schools, colleges and institutes,
and pays the expense. The sums paid
range from $50 a month fT a single
man, to $150 month for married
man, depending upon the n1lmber OF
his dependents.
The training is not limited to- twelve
months but is given for the length OF
time, that it takes to complete the
course to which the man is assigned,
The courses vary from several months
to four years.
The Mississippi boy who wrote the
letter did not say that he was disabled.
If he was not disabled, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education cannot,
under the present laws which govern
its operations, do anything for him. He
will have to look to congress for help
and congress is now considering the
cases of veterans who did not receive
disability

weather, the condition Of roads, lack

generally, the show was a most sue

IF being an annual event in the fu'

1t would be hard to describe the varl-

Poultry breeding is growing in popu-

nice little bank account as well.
The object of the association is to
lnculcatc a desire to breed better poul.

more to raise than a flock Of mongrels,
and blood always pays, either in race

With Women Shoppers
Hints About Styles Novelties Etc
Clothes For the Motoring Trip.

! Motoring and motor trips are fav-
orite pastime OF Marshalltown people
and many families have chosen that
kind of an outing for their vacation
| this summer. or course. the automo-
| bile sometimes is used merely as a
means OF getting TO the chosen yaca-
| ton spot but In many instances the
| trip is planned for the Joy OF motoring
and seeing the country, In either case
| the clothing necessary and appropri-
ate in an automobile Is much differ
ent than that worn every day. II you
| intend to camp out while travelling the
clothes will have to be different from
those suitable for short stops at hotels
Wearing apparel Of many kinds appro-
pirate for wear in the machine can De
found in Marshalltown stores.
For the Camping Party.
II plans have been made TO carry
trailer with sleeping and cooking
equipment the woman motorist prop
ably will take with her only the plain
est and most durable clothing. She
will choose likewise II the party Is
made UP entirely OF women. the driving
also to be done by them.
A serviceable suit is probably the
first article OF wearing apparel that
will be decided upon. However, some
women like full length coats as they
cover one up better. Then the skirt
may match the coat or not just as you
please. In choosing a suit the more
simple the lines the better and the
Norfolk style probably will suit better
than any.
There is not large variety OF such
suits TO be found ready made in Mar
shalltown, but one store does Keep
them in khaki or cotton gaoerdine.
Two women in the city, in preparing
for a motor trip, have had brown cor
duroy suits made which are so heavy
that one need wear no petticoat or
waist either. for that matter. How
ever. because of the weight OF cor
duroys, the suit can be made OF linen
or a heavy cotton material. KHAKI
color. dust color or gray are the more
suitable shades as the dirt will not
show so plainly on them.
Mohair and Leather Coats.
Another store placed in its window
recently something especially nice i'll
coats for motor wear. The material is
mohair in both tan and gray and the
coats are of the ulster type, buttonins
clear up to the neck. Beside the
wearing qualities of mohair which are
so we'll known, II is cool, does not
wrinkle and sheds the dust and dirt.
Probably the latest fad in motor coats
is the leather coat or rather leather
fabric coat which is also made water
proof The knee length with military
belt is very smart but the full length
coat is more serviceable. OF course
there :; also the old fashioned linen

| duster which will always Keep ts
place but at the end Of the trip IT is
about the saddest looking object one
| can find
Shown with these mohair coats In
the window were hats TO match. They
were small with soft narrow orms
made to turn up or down. This Is the
style usually worn now and some ex-
extremely good looking ones can be
| found made Of cravenette or other
water proof material that Is cool. Inc
driver likes to have her eyes shaded
so some choose cap-shaped hats with
long vizors. but the most important
point is to find one that will stay on
good and tight. Automobile wells are
really lovely. and II your suit is to
be more attractive than serviceab!e,
you should choose one from the many
bright colors now available. How
ever motorists. as q rule. find a veil
more bother than It 10 worth and they
are warm too.
Dresses and Waists OF Silk.
Underneath these long coats one

suits. q dress. The skirt and waist
| should both be made very simple ana
Of material that does not wrinkle or
soil easily. but they need not be alike.
silk does not sound very practical for
automobile wear but wash silks and
especially pongee are extremely nice
for waists and even for the dress to
be worn underneath. II you are going
to q cool climate the skirt and dress
probably will want to be made Of wool
en- material still keeping to the simple
style.
Shoes for the auto trip must be Of
the most sensible lasts. Not low shoes
but good and high and Of heavy leath-
er made with common sense flat heels.
An important point to notice in buying
flat heeled shoes. whether for hard
wear, sports wear or dress. Is that
they have stiff arch supports in them
I which is so often lacking in many
shoes.
For Hotel Wear.
If on the trip you plan to spend the
night at hotels extra clothing will have
to be taken as at the end Of a day s
ride you will be so warm or dirty
that you will want to make a change.
Then milady will be glad TO have a
simple silk dress to jump into after a
refreshing bath. Dark colors are real
~ the best as they do not soil easily
and always look nice Soft silks do not
crush so easily as taffeta and, as
fou!ards are especially popular this
| season, one made of dark blue with a
design in white would be especially at
tractive, set off with collar and cuffs
of white net or organdy. Unless you
are making an extremely long trip and
expect to make several stops one dress
of this kind will be all that is needed.
