Feathers and Trains Are
 Barred at British Court
By LADY MARY

London, February cSpecial.)-l
 The "officialr season in London has
 now commenced, and. although there
 IS really not any apparent change in
 the doings of the manx certainly
 to those who may count themselves in
 the really fashionable set. there IS a
 great speeding up'' of everything to
 oo with private entertainments.
 In spite of all the pessimistic talk about the state of the country the
 ruinous rate of exchange and the scan- dalous prices of food and clothes, it IS very difficult to see much differ ence between this 1920 period of so- clal activity and those which preceded the outbreak of war. In fact, if there IS any shade of change to be noted be- 1 tween the past and the present it is that everyone is a good deal more restless. more anxious to seek gaiety and amusement than ever before.
 I think that this note was struck at the very beginning of this years Lon oon season. when the king and the i queen and the Prince of Wales drove | to Parliament in state and went through the usual, impressive and time-worn ceremony attached to the opening of Parliament One thing is certain. and it was in the House of Lords that the fact was indicated l feathers and trains win no longer be worn at any court functions of the fu-
 ture. with the exception of corona : ton. Queen Mary. with that idea of l the fitness of things that character
 izes her, has this season indicated that | neither feathers. yeils or trains. will i he worn at future drawing rooms or
 courts held at Buckingham palace. In 1 the peeresses' gallery in the House of | Lords, when Parliament was opened by their majesties. the peereses who attended all wore aeir tiaras and

slant we associate with a gift of Ian

AS a lawyer he has won a place of
distinction at the Minnesota bar. AS
a committee chairman he probably
prepared half of the reports unaided
so that the submission for approval
to his colleagues was more of a CON
cession to common preference than a
necessity. When speaking he is a
triple explosive i'm style with album
dant gesture, his favorite mode of i'm
pressing a statement is to swing up

Clapp's special hobbies is thrift. He

SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE THIS MONTH
Local American Legion Will Be In
Charge Of Financial Campaign

The Salvation Army has greatly en-
larged its organization in order to
meet its growing opportunities for
service. 1t made millions Of friends
during the World War by its efficient
and self-sacrificing service at the bat
tie font.
Local advisory boards have been
ramed in all the counties of the state
who will assist in the work of the
Salvation Army.
The American Legion in Hand Coun
ty has been asked to take charge of
the financial campaign now being un-
Gertaken and full plans will be an
nounced next week in all the county
papers.
All South Dakota Counties are o
IN the midst of the Salvation Army
financial appeal which calls for the
raising of SIS, 600 during the month of
October.
Reports received at State Headquar-
tiers of the Army in Sioux Falls from
all parts of the State indicate that
South Dakota's apportionment will be
raised. The citizens are everywhere
supporting the program and most of
the counties will go over the top in
raising their appointments before
the week is more than half over.
Considerable interest is being evinc-
cd as to what three counties will be
the first to secure their full quotas
and win the special flags offered by
the Salvation Army.
In addition an achievement flag will
be awarded to the county with the
largest over-subscription, and an over
subscription flag will be given to the
county with the largest proportionate
over-subscription.
The fate of the Salvation Army
Home Service Program Tor l32V is In
the hands Of South Dakota citizens.
Through their whole-hearted support
continued Salvation Army service will
be assured every county
Judging from the enthusiasm and
energy in which the various counties
have taken hold of the plan, and from
the willingness evidenced by the citi-
zens to cooperate in the raising of
funds, South Dakota is fully cOgnizant
of the value of Salvation Army service
and will not fail to reach it's goal.
Assurances have come from nearly
every county, through the financial
chairman and presidents of the county
advisory boards, that the people want
the Salvation Army service. and that
the respective appointments can and
will be raised" said John NJ. Freese,
Chairman of the State Advisory Board.

SUFFER
FIRE LOSSES
Cresbard and Philip Victims Of $780,.
600 Blaze

Aberdecn-A fire originating in the
kitchen of a hotel yesterday morning
destroyed a whole city block I'm the
city of Cresbard, S ID. The property
damage was estimated at 1925 900. No
one was killed, and only one slightly
injured. Eleven buildings were burn
ed.
Just how the fire started has not
been as~certained, but all the occupants
of the Piery hotel were saved before
the flames crept above the basement
of the building where 1t started. AL
though no high wind was evident, the
flames were swept from the hotel to a
barber shop, also owned by Piery.
From the barber shop. the fire crept
on to the Techtoi restaurant. A two
story fiat standing next to the cafe
caught fire, and burned rapidly The
people in the building barely reached
safety.
Work. Of rebuilding will begin at
Cnce, although the flames are still
sinouldering and no work can be done
for a few days. Insurance was car
ried on many OF the buildings. but
much of the stock in the stores was
uninsured. and several merchants lost
many thousand dollars each.
Whole City Helps
The fire alarm had no sooner been
given when nearly every citizen was
out with pals, axes. buckets and
hose. Chemicals were used. but the
flames had a good start before they
were discovered, and favored by the
wind the fire jumped from one build
ing to another until the block was
in a hooking ruin.
Buildings across the street from
the block which burned out were
threatened throughout the whole fire.
Most OF the fire fighting was concen-
lrated there however. as hope was
gwen up for those in the path of the
fire. A continual throwing of water
IN the front across the street was the
rnly thing that saved IL. and probably
the whole town. according to reports.
Philip, S. d.. Oct. Sire which
originated in the rear of the Schimke
store at three o'clock Wednesday morn
ing famed by n strong southwest wind
crossed Center Ave-. to the opposite
side of the street. setting fire to the
Northwestern hotel. The fe then con-
tinued its way north consuming the
entire buildings on both sides of the
street. Valiant efforts were made by
the fireman to stem the conflagration
but they were hampered by low water
pressure and insufficient volume. The
fact that the buildings were dry as
finder made them easy prey to the
flames.
Although practically all provisions
and food stuffs we're destroyed, no
hardship is expected to result from
this cause as new supplies have been
ordered and will be rushed from
Pierre and Rapid City. Both banks
are intact.
The damage is o estimated at
5000, 600 partly covered by insurance.
