Not so many years ago we used to put on our

Skirts have grown narrower and narrower.
Necks are cut lower, sleeves shorter.
And no two frocks are made alike. You may

mo NEED FOR INTERPRETER
Squaw Evidently Had Not Always
Been One of the Ordinary
"BIanket Variety"

We were honeymooning in Arizona.
OF course we had our ever-faithful
camera with us. On the principal
street corner of small town l saw
an old Indian squaw sitting on the
sidewalk with her pottery on exhibi-
ton about her. l thought that would
be dandy picture to take back home.
My wife and stopped in front of the
squaw, and, knowing an Indians SUI

we hesitated. Just then the proprietor
of the store in front of which she was
squatting opened the door and l in

would object to our taking a snapshot

VALUE OF WEATHER REPORTS
New Service Proving of Much Benefit
to Automobile Owners Where
1t Has Been Tried.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The highway weather service, one
of the new enterprises of the United
States department of agriculture,
operated through the organization of
the weather bureau, is proving of
benefit to automobile owners where
it has been tried. The meteorologist
in charge Of the weather bureau office
in Kansas City, Mo-, recently re-
ported:
'"The demand for a road reporting
service is quite general and insistent
and it will continue so, increasingly,
until dirt roads become an anachron-
ism. This office established a road or
highway reporting service April 1 of
this year and, without eXaggeratiOn,
it is equal to the most practical SER
vice which our office otherwise can
perform. 1t amounts to the direction
Of public motor travel, and persons
start or postpone trips as we advise"
The highway weather service was
begun as a war measure in aid of
motor transportation and was con-
Quoted with emergency money until
the end of the war. Though congress
made no appropriation for it's continu.
ance during the present fiscal year,
the demand for it was such that the
department is endeavoring to continue
it without special funds to meet the
expense.

If trouble develops in the battery
which upon examination is found to
be up to normal and yet is not deliv-

nor spark enough to ignite the fuel, the
basic fault will very possibly be found
in corrosion of the terminals. When
