To Sort Out Government Departments

r HE joint committee proposed for

organization of the administrative
branch of the government is to have
considerable leeway In its work. The
joint resolution is in substance as fol-

Resolved, ETC., That a joint COM

joint committee on reorganization,
which shall consist of three members
of the senate to be appointed by the
president thereof and three members
of the house of representatives to be
appointed by the speaker thereof
THAT it shall be the duty of the
joint committee on reorganization to
make a survey of the administrative
services of the government for the
purpose of securing all pertinent facts
concerning their powers and duties,
their distribution among the several
executive departments, and their over
tapping and duplication of authority /;
also to determine what redistribution
of activities should be made among
the several services, with view to
the proper correlation of the same, and
what departmental regrouping of serv-
ices should be made, so that each ex-
ecutive department shall embrace only
services having close working relation

water Farming" May Give Good Returns

sists of the conservation and perpet-
uation of a sufficient number of small
inland lakes, as well as island and
coastal swamps and marsh areas, to
provide the birds places for feeding
and resting and rearing the young.
Moreover, they contend, it is q mis-
taken idea that the drainage of almost
any area is a benefit to the commune
ty. Under proper conditions, ''water
farming" of many lakes and ponds
and of swamp and marsh areas will
yield a distinctly larger return than
would the same area if drained and
used for agriculture. They summa-
rize the productiveness of such farms
as follows:
Food and game fishes.
Wild fowl for sport and food.
Furs from such fur bearers as the
muskrats, skunks and raccoons.
A definite and invaluable help In
maintaining the underground water
level and in helping to hold back the
run-off of rainfall to prevent exces-
sive erosion and other damage.
Opportunities for healthful and In
teresting recreation for the citizens.

These loop dresses, which, like the
Egyptian things were slow Of accept

the woman who in the spring bought
clothes featuring such draperies finds
them quite as fashionable now as
they were earlier in the season.

Black Taffeta and Black Tulle Used

Black taffeta and black tulle are
used In similar way, the only real
difference being in the skirt, which
consists of four tiers of black tulle
petals, so that the idea of the four
skirts is carried out, but entirely in
the net. The bodice is plain almost
to the point of severity. 1t is cut to
fit the figure rather snugfy and
crumple at the waistline. AS in the
black lace dresses brought out earlier
in the season and which still enjoy
considerable prestige. a bit of bright
color is introduced by yelling scarlet
flowers with net. The bodice boasts
of no trimming other than a quaint
little corsage bouquet, also bright red.
Only the slender woman may aspire
to the Cheruit evening frock, with its
billowing skirts composed of irregu-
lar loops of pink taffeta. These loop
draperies, brought out by Cheruit
earlier In the season, were looked upon
by many as being exceedingly imprac-
teal. This, however, has not proved
true. They have been eminently sue
cessful in evening things. Wraps. as

HEBRlDEs THE TIN ISLANDS?'
Mystery Of Lands Described by the
Ancient Phoenicians Seems to Have
Been Cleared Up.

Where were the tin islands? Every
boy and girl has been taught that the
Phoenicians visited Britain before the
time of Julius Caesar to get tin for use
in the manufacture Of bronze. They
have been told that when the ancient
writer's speak Of the tin islands, or
Cassiterides, they mean the Settles. al
though little or no tin is found in those
islands.
The fact is that no one could say
definitely where the tin islands were.
Some historians thought they were the
little islands at the northwest corner
of Spain, while others have believed
that they had no real existence, and
that In speaking of them the authors
merely meant to indicate that tin came
from overseas.
Now, however, an important discov-
cry has been made that seems to clear
no the mystery. Tin has been found

Service Brings Increase.

Two beautiful little springs lived
on the mountain side and drew their
crystal water from the same source ;
yet as they grew older they grew very
different, for the one insisted on run
ming out of its banks and trickling
down the mountain. Soon flowers
sprang up, all along the way and beau
tiful ferns and moss lined it's banks.
Its water was always cool and re-
freshing, and travellers always paused
to chat with it-but its neighbor re-
fused to leave its own shaded spot and
soon became stagnant and sour and
green. No one ever came near 1t save
one old frog, and he was "croaker."

Midseason Hats Wide Enough to Shade
Eyes ard Help MiIady Pre-
serve Her Beauty.

Large hats are coming more and
more into favor as hot weather ap-
proaches. The small hat for summer
is neither comfortable nor really be-
coming. Hats that shade the eyes a
bit help a woman to preserve her
beauty, according to the statement
credited recently to famous beauty
whose good looks have endured so
long that the secret of their preserya-
ton has become matter of general
interest. Good health and good
grooming, she says, account for her
fresh coloring, but her smooth skin
and beautiful, youthful eyes that are
free of lines, she explains, are due to
the fact that she has always worn a
hat with brim so she has never had
to squint and wrinkle her face be-
cause of torturing sun glare.

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, nl.-Hot weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes seri-

is now going out to thousands Of
eatonic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; it will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because it
takes up the excess acids. poisons and
gases and carries them out of the
body and, of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
bit of candy, and is recommended to
all as safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. ADV.
