PADUcAH PLANS CAMPAIGN

The Paducah, KY, public school
and the postoffice in that thriving
Kentucky city have united in q
campaign to dispose of large guam
tity of Thrift Stamps during the
current year. ~
City Superintendent Of Schools
Yakel and Postmaster Berry have
collaborated on plan whereby the
postoffice will have representa-
tive on certain days visit the schools
and have with him supply of the
9baby bonds" sufficient to meet the
requirements of the pupils.
One day each week is to be sci
aside as "thrift day." and on this
day a period is devoted to the study
of thrift, and the sale of the Thrift
Stamp is calculated to fit in with
the teaching of thrift which is re-
quired by the laws Of Kentucky,

New Plan Inaugurated
For MadisonviIle Now

Practical lessons in thrift are fea-
lures of the public school system of
Madisonville, Ky.
City Superintendent of Schools
Gattin is enthusiastic over the les
sons prepared and supplied by the
Savings Division of the Treasury
Department, and they are used in
all of the Madisonville schools. Mr..
Gattin is anxious that these lessons
be given practical value.
Last year he ran a bark account
at one of the jacksonville banks,
and hundreds Of the school children
by making weekly deposits, accumu-
lated sums ranging up from one dol
lar to as high as twelve and fifteen
dollars. The bank allowed four per
cent interest, and at the end of the
school session Mr.. Gattin issued a
check to each pupil having an ac-
count. This year he will have a
system for the sale of Thrift Stamps
to take the place of the savings
bank plan.

Then there is the opposite type
The woman who decks herself out in
all the bright colors; henna, jade

until the eye aches looking at her
Sometimes il is the woman who is
no longer young who INDUCES in this
riot of brightness. She thinks poor
thing, that it wakes her mp, and that
it brings back the years that have
gone, while the truth Is, that such
colors accentuate the faded tones
and the sallowness Of her skin.
Sometimes a simple little hat of
dull blue velvet viii bring rosy tones
to the complexion more than all the
roses and cora in a milliner's win
dow. Study the tones of your skin.
There are certain shades which flat
ter it, and others which kill it. If
you are wise you viii confine your
self to the shades which are kind to
you, regardless of the fashion.
Just now the style is to wear dark
dresses and suits with bright hats.
They say that in Paris the black
dress leads-whether beaded or en-
broidered, it is absolutely unreieved
by color except chain or necklace,
possibly, which matches the hat
and the millinery is in tone of jade,
henna, old gold, or electric blue.
This is a very good fashion for the
stout woman. No matter what her
natural inclinations she should never
wear light or bright colors in her
gowns. Next to black, navy blue
should be her choice and only those
shades of brown which are cold and
without any golden tendencies.
Gray, which is most charming
where it is becoming, is a veritable
pitfall for the unwary. 1t demands a
complexion of exquisite fairness,
with a natural tine of rose, which
may be enhanced, of course, by art,
but the fundamental pink tint must
be there already, for gray will in
fallibly bring out the least hint of
sallowness. Again a good complex
ion is not sufficient if hair and eye
brows are too pale and "mousy." 1t

coloring, one whose hair contains
red lights or a black haired fair

skinned Irish tsie, to look well in
pearl gray. None other should at
tempt It.
Black "a not 40 universally be-
coming as midnight blue; many peo-
pie wear it who should not. In gen
eral il is well to remember that dull
black is for light haired people, and
glossy or brilliant backs for the dark
haired. Nothing is more expressing
than dull black on a brunette--par-
ticularly black haired Eomen when
she could be beautiful III black vel
vet OF satin.
1t Is not true that all women can
dress in white. Dead Write is one of
the most trying things dark or dull
skinned woman can put on. Your
own observation viii prove this to
you. But those who do not look well
in blush white will present a charm
ing appearance in materials Of soft
and creamy texture like georgettc or
lace, or even those linens which are
in the natural or oyster white
classes.
Pale blue is a shade which, as a
rule, should be left to the very
young-it is far from kind to the
middle aged who can wear pale
green, or old rose much-better.
When a woman reaches certain
age she should be wise enough to
realize that the line and the cut of
her gowns count for much more than
the color when it comes to their
identifying her. The soft tones of
fur should not be undervalued. A
collar of soft fox, mink or sable
will take years from a thin woman,
while mole and seal are equally flat
tering to the plump woman who can
not wear the long haired furs.
When in doubt what to wear, It Is
always safe for woman to match
her eyes. The blue eyed may always
wear blue, the gray eyed usually can
wear gray, the hazel eyed green and
the brown eyed brown. 1t is an ex-
eellent plan to sometimes have all of
ones accessories match, shoes,
purse, gloves and sometimes even
the hat. Thus a smart little mid
night blue walking dress will have
as an accompaniment colored hat,
gloves, purse, stockings and pumps
of the same light shade. BY such
sophisticated touches the smart per-
son is known.

WHEN Woman IS NERVOUS WoHHIEl

Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
ANY woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton TO health would brighten up her
life. If she asks her neighbors she
finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription benefits a woman's whole
system. It not only acts upon the
troubles and weaknesses peculiar
to women, but is an all-round tonic
that braces the entire body, over
coming nervousness, .sleeplessness,
headaches, dizziness and a run
down condition.

Local post Of the American L.
gion. is planning great membership
addition on Armistice Day. An ex-
service aen in the county are urged
to affiliate with the great veteran
organization. Questions answered.
Mary ex-service. men will ask
what the Legion is doing and just
what it expects to do. In order to
assure prospective members that
they are being asked with good rea-
sons to Join the organization the
following ADVANTAGES of belonging to
the Legion are given:
/. The Legion has obtained from
Congress an increase of pay to dis
abled men from $50 to $50 per
month.
2. The Legion helped to obtain
preference for ex-service persons in
civil service appointments. Special
preference for disabled men.
8. The Legion drafted and put be-
fore Congress the fourfold optional
compensation bill.
4. BY cooperation with federal,
state and local employment services,
obtained work for thousands Of ex-
service men just out Of uniform.
5. The Legion on May 30th, 1920,
decorated the graves of every COM
rade who sleeps on the fields of the
A. E. F.
G. The Legion publishes a live,
alert, interesting magazine. The
Weekly goes to every member of the
Legion; also to the public through
the news stands. No additional
charge is made to members for the
Weekly.
z. The American Legion is the
most powerful force for 100 per
cent Americanism in existence to-
day. 1t has met crises without even
flinching, always on the side of law
and, order. In numerous instances of
disorders and disaster, such as fire
or flood, it has always stood with
the constituted authorities for law
and order.
s. The Legion is not opposed to
union labor. Samuel Gompers says
there is no reason why union man
should not join the Legion, as tens
of thousands of them have.
9. The Legion does not act in the
selfish interest of its members. The
Legion has never asked whether a
man or group of service men, who
needed help, were actually Legion
members. In fact, most of the dis
abled and needy it has aided were
not members at the time the Legion
aided them. The Legion fights for all
ex- service men.
10. The Legion, through its serv-
ice bureau is assisting in adjusting
thousands of claims for compensa-
ton for dependents of men who died
and for disabled men. Tae depart
ment of Kentucky has adopted the
plan Of dividing the state into three
district embracing the western coun-
service men can receive the prompt
of the Legion. The first
district, embraiing the western roun-
ties of the state, has an office in

The Second district, composed of
the central counties of the state, has
an office at Glasgow, DIR. John S.
Young, chairman. The office of the
Third district, embracing the east
ern counties of the state, will prob
ably be located at Ashland. The
chairmen of these districts will un-
dertake and are daily taking care
Of those cases of ex-service men
upon which no results have been Sc
cured.
IL. The Legion will put you in
touch with men you want to be
united with. 1t will give You place
in patriotic community interests.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
energetic members Of the American
Red Cross are those citizens of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters Of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction Of all territory outside
the country proper; that Is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land of zap. which came under our
flag as q result OF the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
3O,SOS paid up members.
The main object of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the OPP
portunlty to participate in the work
Of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
In far places intensely loyal and pa
triotic, treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston Of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division In Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
RIGA. Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador. England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men In service. and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gons gave large sums of money and
unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division Is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit OF sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans In trouble In foreign lands
and completing arrangements for Civ
ing Immediate adequate relief in case
Of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part
In the great Peace Time program of
the American Red Cross.
