DUMPING AGAINST CURBS

One OF the hardest things for a mo-
torist TO understand is that a tire

OF this sort in big pneumatics usually
cause the tire to blow just above the

 Business Woman's Asset
 It Is one of business woman's as sets to look her level best just as surely as it is the society butterfly's. And in every walk of life it is the same-dress counts.
 If a woman hasn't the instinct for dress, she should cultivate 1t or put her self in the hands of someone who does have it.
 Color continues this pretty star of Anna Ascends," T think is the first essential to study, and not only with regard to it's appeal to the eye but also to the senses, for there is no doubt about it, color has a distinct moral ef- gect upon the emotions.
 Like Rays of Sunshine
 Cheerful colors are like rays of sun shine for clearing away blue devils; while yellow for some persons stirs up Jealousy and envy; for others 1t has a soothing effect"
 Miss Brady herself Is especially fond of brown for day and white for evening, and illustrated are two of her dresses. the day costume of dark brown satin combined with a biscuit -colored duve- tyn. and the other white chiffon em- broidered with tiny irridescent beads. Both of these she wears ir Anna As- cends"

 Losses were most severe in the in- dependent steels and coppers, and in shares comprising the motor division and its subsidiaries High grade rails and industrials did not become in volved until the final hour, when selling assumed most impressive pro- portions.
 The reversals were attended by board room gossip and many rumors which made vague allusion to the de- pleted fortunes of various profess sional interests. who found themselves unable to meet tife demands of their brokers for additional margins.
