Dog Guards Crow Bar For Two Days

Loveland, Iowa,-Louis Jones of
this place has dog, which exhibits
a remarkable degree of fidelity, even
for dog. Mr.. Jones was hauling
sand and the dog, as usual, was his
companion on the trips. On the last
trip to the sand bank Jones left
crow bar at the sand pit.
Mr.. Jones did not miss the crow
bar but he did miss his dog, faith
full old pal and he began search
when two days had elapsed /, and
the dog did not appear.
Going to the sandpit Mr.. Jones
there found his dog lying by the
crow bar, faithfully guarding it
from theft. Evidently the dog had
not left the bar for two days and
nights.

1000 gallons of liquor estimated at
$4,000 "moonshine jags," four per
quart, has been received by the

of Iowa, signed by Federal Judge

The origin of manufactured colors is lost in the hay history of long dead centuries, although one phase of it's influence in dress is emphasized by the custom of China, which dictates yellow as the royal color and a set of colors for each class down the long Chinese ladder of caste.
 Design, in it's origin, as applied to fabrics of women'S wear is easily traced back to the works of early painters One famous>designs put on the market by the Japanese many years ago as one of many artistic pat terms of printed silk has as its motif Mount Fujiy7am, sometimes called the sacred mountain of Japan. It shows not only the dominating mountain, but also Japanese women writing poems to the cherry blossoms playing musical instruments and adm1ring1y gazing at a cherry tree with a storm scene and a river gorge scene worked in harmoniously. Another very old design. this time Egyptian, shows an ancient temple, two figures of Ram eses IT., two dieties racing Bedouins on Arab horses. a SpinX and many

With one hundred and thirtythree standardized colors to select from' why need any woman worry about the color of her next dress. drock, blouse, hat or hose?
 With a selection of designs In 1ao- rics, particularly in silk. that aS di most bewildering in its wide range or motif and variety of execunon 10 choose from, why should She snop for days without buying!
 Yet she spends more time in pick ing out the colorS and designs TOT her dress materials than she devotes to a decision as to the style in which they are to be made up-
 This is because color and design are of more importance in her eyes than style.
 Virtually every woman has an inate artistic sense and an appreciation or beauty which find expression in her dress Men are fond of saying that men set the styles for women. With out arguing the statement-and 1t IS distinctly debataible-the fact remains that women make or kill the styles and that is the thing that counts III the final analysis.
 In color and design he influence O. women is clearly traceable back to very early tines-and who ever heard of male dressmaker or a stylees "artist'' for HFomen's styles in Greece, in Rome. in Persia or in China? : And yet the influence of women upon color and design in silk was evidenced long before the time of Solomon or Confucius. The first Chinese royal court garments of silk were designed in cut and color by women and the designs embroidered upon them were wrought by the women of the court.
 History of the Centuries. Of all the fabrics that interest women most it is probable that silk stands foremost. This may be be- cause it enters so largely into virtually 90 per cent. of the things that she wears or it may be because it is asso- ciated in her mind with the attain
 ment of desires and a feeling of lux urious complement of dress or because of her realization of it's economy. In any event, when she thinks of dress she thinks largely in terms of silk and l it is in this fabric that color and de- sign play the most important parts because no other fabric lends itself quite so readily and so satisfactorily i to the application of color and design, either in the woven or the printed l material.

CHIN STAMPING.

Within the last couple of weeks I have received quite a few letters from readers, who wish to know about various appliances for reducing O double chin and for lifting sagging muscles of the face. A few weeks ago I gave a short talk on strappins the chin at night to preserve its youthful line No woman under 35 should have to make use of such a treatment
 The chin-in fact. the whole face can be strapped or bound at night to hold up sagginE muscles One of the easiest methods is to use strips cost very little. if the material Is bought and torn into strips at home The picture will give you an idea Of how the chin is bound up
 First of all, the skin should be massa sed with a flesh building cream Ordinary cold creams will not do, because they contain only mineral oil which the skin does not absorb The face should first be bathed in hot water then massaged with the cream. a liberal amount of which is left on the skin If only the chin is to he bound up. the gauge is wrapped around the head and under the chin. so as to hold firmly the lax muscles Several fhicknesses of gauze will be necessary and the bandage must be secure when you arc finished. oth- erwise it will come off during the night
 Chin strapping is very good for older women, but younger women who have been ill and whose faces show the marks of illness. will find this helpful in improving their ap- pearance- As a general thing. last ing youth is the result of good health

The evidence against him was so strong that the case has been re- ferred to the Assizes I have some account of the matter here, I be- lieve.' He rummaged amid his news papers, glancing over the dates. until at last he smoothed one out, doubled it over. and read the following par agraph:
