LACE POPULAR
 FOR FALL WEAR

In spite of the fact that it has not been very much in the front of dis cussion, lace seems to be creeping in as a style factor in blouses for fall. At the end of the fall year ago and the beginning of last spring season lace was very much in evidence, and it has not as yet become as popular this season. There are indications, however, as more and more lines are opened that there will be quite an &C., ,cumulation of lace before the season closes.
 At first it was only the heavy net nneshes with d running design of floss that was seen. but now quite num- Der of other laces could be enumer- ated. There have~been silk laces seen, making their own designs, also heavy metallic laces, as well as SIX meshes with metallic designs. In ad- dition there are appearing several different kinds of faces of the margot order in the natural blonde tones. These last are effectively used with suit shades and with high colors.

chine, and georgette may also be used with good effect for this
 Now We come to the little dress designed for the young girl when she arrives at the awkward age. Here, if anywhere, simplicity is necessity.
 What could be plainer or more ap- propriate for the young girl than thIt little frock with the apron effect trimmed with the blanket stitch?
 Why not make the dress out of serviceabl pongee which launders well and always appears fresh and cool? In that case the blanket stitch might be done in brown silk or worsted. The gird1e may be of pongee or it may be brown satin. If the latter is used for the girdle, a brown satin collar and cuffs and brown pockets twill be very effective.
 Or how about a pale green linen trimmed in white wool? For the more elaborate frock, a white sports silk with the embroidery done in some brilliant shade will be very smart.
 Serge may be used for this design. You will find that thus developed, 1t will turn out to be a hundred per cent. perfect school frock for the fall.

No matter what ones age, youth ful-loo joking frocks are the most charming and most satisfactory. So when you are planning the new dress for Miss Four, Miss Twelve, or for her older sister, remember that it is the simple lines which produce that much desired effect
 Little girls are well pleased with a frock which makes bloomers an important feature. Mothers, too, know the value of such a style for playtime. The design in the picture has not only the bloomers to recom- mend it, however, for it's dainty cool ness and charming simplicity will be sure to win for it a place in the amateur dressmaker's favor. Nothing need be said about the construction of the frock. It is just g. straight slip, you know, with tucks at the shoulders, and a hit of feather stitching over them to simulate shocking. Feather stitching and French knots trim the collar shown.
 For a playtime frock, this design would look well in blue linen or chambray. The collar and cuffs and the ends of the tucks might be trim med with feather stitching in cherry.
 Pale yellow crinkled silk Or crepe with the bit of em mbroidery done in greens and browns would also be most effective. Gingham, voile, batiste, crepe de chine or sateen would all look well for this models A unique treatment of the organdie is illustrated in the center figure. Here a perfectly plain frock is built over a pleated chiffon underdress, which appears in front a panel.
 Can't you sec this made up in rose co1ored organdie over white p1eated chiffon The heavy filet lace may be dyed the color of the ma terial Bright blue satin ribbon with a picoted edge would be very attrac- tive for the girdle. With this white organdie collar and cuffs, bound in white or in rose color, would look well.
 How would you like a color scheme of cornflower blue and flesh color. The blue may be used for the p1eats or for the organdie, just as you pre- fer.

 The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.
 In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women n m a l, healthy and strong and this good old fashioned root and herb remedy con- tains no narcotics or harmful drugs.

CAPTAIN LOSES
 FIANCE BUT HAS MANY NEW OFFERS

Sydney, N. S. July 27.-Residents of this city are beginning to wonder whether it is still in order to pity Captain Thomas Kitchen, the Cana dian Field Artillery officer whose fiancee, Miss A. Butler of Manchester, Eng, transferred her affections to Lieutenant T. Miller while en route to Halifax to marry the captain.
 Following the publicity which has been given the broken engagement, Captain Kitchen has received many letters, mostly from English women, in which the writer offers her own hand to the captain by way of con- solation for the loss of Miss But Ter.
 Among those who offer to come to Sydney and become Mrs. Captain Kitchen is a young duchess, Captain Kitchen says. She has written ex- pressing her sympathy and vo1un- teered to come at once if the gallant Canadian will have her.
 Captain Kitchen would not tell the name of the duchess or say whether she was a noblewoman in her own right or the divorced or widowed wife of some high ranking peer.

FINDING FAULT.

Some people seem to think that to be hard to please, and. therefore, to be continually finding fault with everything and everybody, shows their up-to-dateness. If such be the case, deliver us from being up-to-date!
 They are never able to ''get on" with any one. One should be able to do this without any trouble, unless there is something decidedly abnormal about one or the other. If God had meant all of us to think alike, and be alike, no doubt He would have made us more alike in outward appear ance. Sometimes it is hard to make ourselves like some folks and things. but if everything in life were easy. how dreadful1y dull and lazy we should soon become!
 Instead of disliking and disapprov ing of people (and most of it is merely because they do not think as we do) :, it would surely be much wiser to try to "get on" happily with everyone, whether we always approve of them or not. Let's judge them kindly. and see if their good qualities do not counter-ba1ance the traits we dislike. We are not perfect, so why should we exact perfection in others?
 The most pleasant companion you e. poSSlDiy ma IS the one WHO ILLUS pleasure and amusement in the sim plest things. On the other hand, how depressing to find that your compan- ion for the evening, or day, is con- tinually picking holes in everything, and finding fault with every person they come into contact with! If we were to have everything our own way, we would soon become so satiated with it we would be unhappy Let's try it make the best of everything and everybody for awhile. and see if there is not much real happiness in

JAIL DELIVERY FRUSTRATED BY
 TRUSTY'S RAP

When the prisoners in the upper left tier of cells in the county jail over powered John Iaacs, night 1aller, last night in an effort to make getaway, Pete Sevarro an Italian. who is outside trusty, rapped on the bars of the outer door of the jail and called the atten- ton of several deputies to the danger ouS position of Iaacs and the jail de- livery was frustrated.
 The attempt, which had evidently been planned by the prisoners, 38 in number, was made at 10 o'clock last prisoners in their cells for the night. He had locked in the men in the two lower tiers in the tank and had locked those in the right upper tier. He then opened the inner door to the tank in order that William Reed, inside trusty, could pull a garbage can out of the corridor of the tank" Sevarro was standing just outside the inner door to assist with the can.
 While Reed was pulling the can out the prisoners who were in their cells, but not locked in, made a rush, dragged Isaacs into the corridor of the tank" and then tied cloth around his neck, twisting it up. Isaacs managed to get his hands under the cloth and was getting it loose when one of the prisoners began beating him in the face. By this time Sevarro had at tracted the attention of Deputy Sher- ifs Al De Witt, Jim Troutman, Gilbert Blanco and Motorcycle Officer Watson.
 The officers rushed to the aid of Isaacs but could not enter the jail be- cause IsaacS had locked the outer doors as he went in. Deputy De Witt with a drawn gun ordered the men to release Isaacs and get into their cells before he shot. They obeyed and he then ordered Reed to get the keys which had been taken from Isaacs from the third cell. Reed obeyed at once.
 Unlocking the door with the keys the oflSe CTS entered the jail and placed all the prisoners in their cells and brought out 1saacs. According to the officers, Reed attempted to keep Se- varro from knocking on the bars. To- morxow an investig ation will be made to find out, if possible, who is respon sible for the attempt.

ENGINEERS FAVOR BOULDER CANYON
 IRRIGATION DAM

SAN DIEGO. August 3.-What was hailed as a new chapter in the epic of the transformation of tine Great American Desert is beginning to take definite form, in the opinion of engi- neering and irrigation experts and the throughout the southwest, who met today in San Diego for conference with Arthur P. Davis. director of the reclamation service Of the United States.
 F A day of dfscussion ended in the agreement that the project of the Boulder Canyon dam on the Colorado river. with the attendant power and irrigation development should be thoroughly investigated and that the report to be presented to Congress next fall should carry the endorsement of civic, irrigation and state organiza- tions throughout the southwest.
 Besides Director Davis and the chief engineer of the reclamation ser vice. the state engineers of Utah. Col orado, Nevada and New Mexico and many other well known engineers and personal representatives of the gov ernos of Arizona. California. Nevada and Utah attended the conference.
 Director Davis announced that S6o,- 900 was available for investigation of the project and that as soon as the waters of the river were low enough to allow the engineering parties charged with drawing up the report would start work.
 Director Davis pointed out that the proposed dam would not only furnish water to thousands of acres of arid but irigable land, but that it would be a tremendous source of hydro-elec- tric power and that is would serve as balance to the flow of the Colorado and cut down the dangers to certain. regions from flooding.
 The conference closed late today.
