GLORIOUS IMAGE OF BUDDHA

the insane devotion possible by the
Mongolans. The great figure is heav
lily gilded, incrusted with precious
stones, and draped with silken cloths.
When the temple is opened to the
faithful of the city Of Urga a priest
at the entrance gives each person
few drops of holy water from filthy

battle their faces with the fluid and

HUNTING FOR DREAM HATS
kvsry Woman Feels That Some Day
II Will Be Her Fortune to
Discover One.

In the spring wOman's fancy light
~ turns to thoughts of-hnts. Every
woman feels that one day she will
find the dream hat, writer in the
London Daily Mail states. 1t may be
waiting just around the corner in
some shop yet undiscovered. Or il
may be that the quest will go on for
weeks or months or years.
But one day she will find the hat
which will make her life roseate
thing until it wears out or becomes
Old-fashoned. Under the brim of II
her eyes will shine like stars. Her
whole being will irradiate charm.
A decent balance at the bank gives
comfortable air of assurance to
many men, Silk stockings-not the
half-and-half sort-bring blissful
sense of well being to most women.
But nothing can give the same poise
as the dream hat. TO wear it is to be
success.
How well you are looking today"
your friends say.
All the same, you are well. No one
could be i'll in the dream hat.
It conjures up thought Of soft mu-
sic, scents of flowers, shaded lights
and the spring. What may not one
accomplish in such IA hat! What adj
ventures may not happen
The hat must be subtle In its con-
ception. 1t must have enough color
to bring out the light in your eyes, but
not too much to deaden the color of
your hair. The line must be good and
accord with the contour Of your face
Light and fanciful, there must be in
it hint of something little pro-
vocative, fantasy one could never as
sociate with jet and bangles.
But where is the dream hat to be
found? All If one only knew Some
how, 1t still eludcs ones search. Time
is getting on. hat you must have.
and so you must be content with the
second best.

MANY FORMS OF EARLY FLAGS
Various Types Were Used Before the
Present Form OF Old Glory
was Adopted

According to the Smithsonian instI.
tuition there were many forms of early
flags, especially colonial types, used
by the individual colonies and militia
regiments, before the flag of the Uni.
ted States was established by the con
tinental congress June IA, 1777. the
anniversary of which date is now eel
that the flag of the United States be
of 13 horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white. and that the union be 10
white stars on blue field, represent
ing new constellation.
One of the first occasions for pub
lie display of the Stars and Stripes is
said to have been August 6, 1777
when the new flag was hoisted over
the troops at Fort Schuyler. Rome, n.
Y. John Paul Jones Is said to have
been the first to fly the Stars and
Stripes over the high seas on the
Ranger in November, 177T.
From the time of the Revolution the
Stars and Stripes in the flag have va
ried. There were 13 stars during the

ARCHERY HELD IN HONOR
Skill in Use Of the Bow Was Fostered
in Every Way in the Twelfth
Century.

Archery in Scotland Is as old as the
day of William the Lion. The first
mention of bows in the Statute book
occurred in the latter part of the
twelfth century On skill in use of
the bow the safety of Scotland had
for so long rested. that in the reign
Of William the Lion an act was passed
making it compulsory for every man
between the ages of sixteen and sixty
to have weapons of this description.
In war each bowman carried 16 heavy
and eight light shafts. The principal
weapon of offense of those bygone
days has long since degenerated into
plaything.
The origin of the Royal Company
Of Archers, the kings bodyguard, is
somewhat obscure the first unas.
sailable record dating back no fur
ther than 1876. Some authorities
claim the company was formed by
James the First of Scotland who
chose bOdyguard for himself. The
organization was permitted in 1915
to call itself His Maiesty's Com
pany of Archers.' and the first pa
rade in full uniform was held on
Leth Links on June II 1917. Queen
Anne in 1904 granted the conpHr'
a royal charter Sir Walter Scott
was member of the organization.

WHEN LAWS WERE CRUEL
sarbarous Death or Life imprison.
nent the Portion Of Thinkers In
the Sixteenth Century.

They had rough and ready way OF
dealing with spiritualists in the six
teenth century. An act was placed on
the statute book In the reign Of
Queen Mary which made 1t capital
onense for many persons ''to propose
to hold communications with the
dead" and later the penalty for such
an offense was made burning at the
stake.
In 1870 a man named Edward Bar
ber who lived at Ongar In Essex. was
ordered by local magistrate to be
put IN the stocks for three days, and
subsequently to stand for trial for
pretending that he had received mes
sages from dead person, and "for
telling divers persons that he had done
So"
This luckless spirltualist, however
was never sent for trial, as on the
last night of his confinement in the
stocks he was burned to death by
some of the villagers.
In the reign of Queen Anne man
prisonment for life for writing pam
phlet proving that communication with
the dead was possible; and even so
late as the reign of George there are
records of severe punishments being
inflicted on people who protested that
they had received messages from the
dead.
In the reign Of James Dutch mer-
chant named Kolep, living in London,
was sent to the Tower for alleging
that during a bad illness he had actu-
ally died and that his soul had passed
for two hours in the world beyond,
when II returned to his body.
Kolep was deprived of his property
and was sentenced to Imprisonment
for life. He escaped from prison, how
ever, and managed to make his way
back to his native country, where he
afterwards published book giving
the experiences Of his visit to the
world beyond the grave.-Stray
Stories.

HOOD TIRES NOTED
 FOR THEIR BEAUTY

"Isn't it a beauty y?''-everybody says the same thing. According to popular opinion the Hood Expansion Cord is one of the most beautiful tires exhibited fhis year. It is a large oversize, coal black in color, with a high polish fin ish and perfectly balanced,-that is its tread in both the ribbed and non-skid is neither too narrow or too bulky but just wide enough to give a long wear ing surface and be at the same time neatly dressed. "A dignified tire for dignified cars,' says MT. Coates, Hood distributor.
 In Los Angeles many of the dealers in fine cars use Hood Expansion Cords exclusively for displaying their cars because of the added appearance these tires give. One of the largest builders of exclusive special built cars in Los Angeles uses Hood Cords entirely.
 The excellent appearance or rnese cords reflects the care and workman ship and materials used in their con- struction. An examination of these materials, the bead cables, cord fabric, friction and cushion stock, breaker strip and tread shows each to be the highest grade of stock that money can buy with thirty-five years rubber ex- perience put into the eompounuing or them The Hood Expansion process insures absolutely. perfect construc- ton.

Fire BELL RINGING
STOPPED BY BOARD;
AVOIDS CONGESTION

The day of the fire hell in Richmond
is ended. After consultation with Fire
Chief Miller the board of works. by
unanimous vote, decided Thursday
to discontinue the practice of ringing
the bells throughout the city.
The action was taken, according to
the board, for the purpose Of avoiding
congestion at fires. Chairman Harry
Gilbert has made a study Of the
methods used in other cities Of this
size and found as a result of his in
ivestigation that the custom has been
discontinued in practically all other
cities.
The main purpose at fire, Mr.. Gil
bert says, is to make the working
conditions as easy as possible for the
firemen in order that they may do
their work efficiently. Under the
present custom, he says, the people
rush to the scene of the fire in auto
mobiles and on bicycles. thus congest-
ing the streets and getting in the way
of the firemen.
The board recommended to the fire
chief that the big trucks be equipped
with siren whistles in order that the
streets may be cleared quickly. The
siren whistles will overcome the OBJ
lection it is thought, that the ringing
of the bells would warn people to
clear the street.
The new system will be put into op.
Grafton at once.
