CLARA ATTRACTING
 LITTLE ATTENTION

Ardmore, Okla, March 9.-Clara Smith Hamon walked down the main street of Ardmore and failed to attract any more attention than a cowboy cop tramping his beat.
 On any other main street in the country crowds would have gaped with fingers pointed at Jake Hamon's chic girl who tomorrow will go on trial for his murder. But Main street in Ardmore is not comparable with any other Main street in the world. The south and the west meet in Ardmore. The town is typically southern, with a dash of cowboy and Indians thrown Tn, to give a wild and woolly appear ance. Ardmore never gets wrought up over anything.

Harry A. Mount, III -tSiit B.
 Small boys and bachelors are often loath to admit it. but dolls are inter- esting. You sec after all, they arc just limitations of real people The dolls of any age or of any nation are reflections of the real people of that time and place and the history of dolls is reflection of the history of the human race.
 Interest in dolls among grown folks seems to have come and gone in cy- cles. for again and again in history we find this same phenomenon of hu- man nature reappearing.
 Hugh Capet. the first King of France, away back in the year 9S7, gave fancy dress ball at which he presented the ladies of his court with wonderfully made dolls dressed in exact reproduction of the costumes worn by the favored ones. From that time until the Italian Renais- sance French dolls were the finest in the world, and French men and women played with them almost as much as did their children.
 It Is told how sailors of the Span ish armada carried with them. dolls as mascots and actually to play with. Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, en- tering the court of the King. Monta- zuma, on the evening of November 8. l519, found the whole court seated on the floor playing with dolls. Later when Cortez sent an expedition northward into what is now Texas.
