visit by the Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall. who have no children of
their own. and were touched by the
child's plight. They became SO at
tached to him that, with the consent
of the mother, they made him mem

held close to the shoe tops by straps.
sometimes embroidered in precious
stones, passing under the wearer's in
steps, are features in display of SUM-

sers with tilmy materials.
Recent rumors that tight lacing was
to be restored to favor have proved to
be erroneous. In fact. little, if any,
corseting will be needed next summer,
except by stout women. The length of
street dresses being shown is about
the same as that most in vogue last
fall, but the hem is narrower.
Bright textures will appear in many
of the most popular creations, and pat
termed materials will be featured by
some of the more famous houses. One
of the most popular models will show
a founce effect and tight underskirt
of jade green. A smart little packet,
with gorgeously embroidered lining,
has been given the stamp of approval
in some of the more exclusive shops.

Eighty inspectors were needed before
the war to handle the incoming tide of

yesterday. In 1914 these men received

DEATH VALLEY NOW
 SAFE FOR AUTO|STS

LOS ANGELES. Cal. April IT, Death Valley, once the terror of the traveller in the southwest and the last resting place of many early day pros pectors is being made safe for travel both day and night
 This erstwhile barrier to human progress has been conquered by the automobile. Its trackless waste of sand has been sign posted and its hid den waterholes marked by Uncle Sam. Not content with merely making the desert easy to cross for travellers in daylight, the Automobile Club Of Southern California is going farther and is placing signs in such manner that the rays of headlights from pass ing machines will fall upon them and guide the night tourist as safely and surely as the day travellers.
 The Automobile club also will sign post all lateral routes Of the famous Death valley district. Included in the sign posting being done will be com plete set of road signs directing tour ists to picturesque Palm Canyon on the edge of the desert-one of the most unique spots in the world. This oasis in the sandy wastes is to be made national monument by the government.
