TOWN LONG WITHOUT BANK
Colorado Community, In Existence
More Than a Century, is Nov
to Have Institution.

The little Spanish town of San
Luis. the county seat of Costilla coun-
ty, Colo, in the lower end of the val
ley, will welcome its first bank when
tho State Bank OF San Luis opens its
doors for business This little town
is more than one hundred years old,
and was one of the furthest outposts
Of Spanish settlement that followed
the northward push Of the Spanish
residents of Santa Fee and vicinity.
For nearly fifty years before the
first contingent Of Americans, under
command of Gen. Frank Baldwin, now
a resident Of Denver, arrived over La
Veta pass and established the military
post of Fort Garland. San Luis had
been a flourishng little settlement
surrounded by highly developed farms.
In the last few years the progress
and development of the town and
community has been more rapid until
now the town is considered to be large
enough to need q bank. The ma
jority of the residents Of the vicinity
are Spanlsh-speaking people of the old
school. polished, courteous, energetic
and prosperous. Some of the wealth.

THESE "all-day" dresses have given
i us something that is new and in
creasingly interesting to think about.
Just how close a second they will final
ly run to the suit and to the tailored
skirt and separate skirt is something
not to be foretold, especially since the
new models show that manufacturers
are taking advantage of the liking for
smocks in designing them. To the
women who spend most of their time
in tailor-made clothes they offer the
spice of variety-a change from blouse
and skirt or tailored coat and skirt. Be-
sides, more of them offer possibilities
In remodeling suits that the thrifty
are not going to overlook.
Two very fine models in all-day
dresses will not have to ask twice for
the attention of alert women. They
are pictured here and hardly need de-
scription. In both Of them the skirt
and smock idea is carried out. 1t has
been managed with wonderful clever
ness In the dress Of dark blue serge
with a girdle of jet links and rings

SOUNDED ALL RIGHT TO HER
Prisoners Defense Naturally Had a
Lot Of Weight With the
Fair Prosecutor.

The case looked black against the
prisoner, who was charged with loiter-
ing suspiciously at the railway station.
Presently the magistrate said stern
ly:
"This lady says you tried to speak
10 Der at the railway station"
1T was n mistake" pleaded the man
in the dock. 81 was looking for my
wife's young niece, whom I've never
seen, but who'd been described to me
as handsome young lady, with golden
hair, wel-cut features. fine complex
ion, perfect figure. beautifully dressed,
and"
With charming blush, the principal
witness against him interrupted his
flow of eloquence.
81 don't wish to prosecute the gen.
tleman, sir" she said to the magis-
trate. "Any one might have made the
same mistake"

about it. In this model a plain skirt is
set onto an underbodice that carries
the sleeves. A light silk serves for
this with underarm pieces and sleeves
Of the cloth. Two straight pieces of
cloth having inverted plaits down the
center are fastened to the underbody
at the waistline, with snap fasteners.
Below the waistllne they hang free, re-
vealing> he'skirt st the sides. Squares
of embroidery al the front of smock
and skirt exactly suit the tailored dress
for which they make handsome
finish.
If one has in mind remodeling an old
dress or making skirt do double duty
she cannot do better than to carry out
a scheme like that shown in the second
dress. This Is a short smock, banded
with satin ribbon like the skirt In color
and ornamented with satin-covered
buttons and an all-over braided pat
tern. Henna-colored jersey cloth with
dark-blue braid and ribbon is a fine
combination for the smock to be worn
over a plain blue cloth skirt.

PLAN TO SAVE WOMAN'S TIME
Proper Height Of Kitchen Sink and
Work Tables Are Important
Factors in Cooking.

The height of woman's kitchen
sink and work tables are important
factors in her well-being and well-do-
ing. She can't do as much or as good
work and feel well and strong with
her sink and table. so low that she
has to bend over to work or so high
that she has to "reach up" as she
would were they the proper height.
AS general rule. 80 to SO inches
from the floor Is the height for general
work tables and the bottom of the
sink should usually be 80 to 81 inches
from the floor. the home economics
kitchen Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture suggests. How
ever, each woman ought TO find out
for herself the height of the table at
which she can work most easily and
efficiently, and see that her work
tables and sink are adjusted accord
ingly. Legs which are too long can
be cut off, and those too short can be
raised by blocks under them.

Harris county. Texas, produces figs.
A club girl who lives there learned,
through her club, how t. make deli

a New York business man, desiring to
secure a superior fig preserve to put
on the market. went TO the demonstra-
fion agent of Harris county and asked

feared. TO carry on so large an under
taking. she was so well qualified,
however. in every other way, that the
man decided TO have an interview

delicious preserves decided the ques-

The explorer, whoever he was, who
introduced the potato to the civilized
world deserves even at this late date
a rising vote of thanks from all those
who are trying to serve three square
meals day to their families and not
go bankrupt. Potatoes are high, in
comparison with other days, but not
as high as meat. The potato Is nor
a substitute for meat because starch
and not protein is its main substance,
yet IL is food which possesses much
nourishment and is palatable, whole
some, and "filling." Where economy
or health makes ii necessary to re-
duce the amount Of meat eaten. pota-
toes can well be used to form the
base of the main dish served at a
meal.
In the following recipes. which have
been tried out in the home-economlcs
