KEEPING
FASHIONABLE
(G. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
By R. RAY BAKER

Eliza Correll believed in clothes.
Clothes make the man-and they
also make the girl" she told her sis
ter repeatedly. "Some day you'll learn
that you ought to dress Up more and
keep fashionable.
Certainly Eliza kept fashionable.
Eight dollars constituted her weekly
stipend, earned by mixing tempting
potions at SilverwOrth'S drug store.
Eliza was one of q half-do2cn girls
who presided within the circular for
nation OF marble at which "airplane"
sodaS were served. GnI the high cost
of living, the fate If the League of
Nations, the future Of JugO-SlIvia
and the salaries of the film stars dis
cuSSCd.
But the eight dolIars-to return to
the subject. OF the eight dollars,
two went for board and room and
the remaining six We're expended TO
adorn Eliza with fashions latest GRE
ations Board and room for two dol
lars q week? Yes. you see Ella lived
ut home as did her sister Isabel.
Isabel clerIicd in Flemmers dry
goods store, and her share of the
worlds goods every week was seven
dollars. OF this seven two went for
board and room. - cents purchased
cinema thrills at the Palace theatcr,
an average of IS cents was used for
wearing apparel and $3.ll was de-
posted in the bank.
Contrasted with Elias extensive
and expensive wardrobe, Isabel's
adornment WAS like minnOw unto a
goldfish; yet the latter seemed sat
iSfcd with her lot in life ana never
complained about her rather drab, ncY-
CrthcleSS neat, attire.
Nor was there reason to complain;
for Isabel could have afforded more
attractive garb rs well rs her young
er sister-could better afford it, in

over the crossing. OF the forty going
east fourteen, and/ Of the fifty-nine
going west, twenty were observed tc
be carelessly driven. The average
speed of the thirty-four cars reported
was twenty-five miles an hour. Three
of the machines were travelling a.
thirty miles an hour or better, the
lowest speed recorded was nineteer
miles an hour.
"The driver of a motorcycle, wher
within twenty-five feet Of the crossing
was observed to turn his head to con-
verse with the passenger riding in the
sldecar.
I'm accordance with the genera
policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad tc
prevent grade crossing accidents, post
cards have been mailed through the
State Highway commissioners office
to those owners of The thirty-four We
hicles who live in Pennsylvania. After
giving the place, date and hour of the
observation, the postcard reads,
Not in a spirit of criticism, but
rather with the view of conserving life
it is earnestly requested that you APP
proach grade crossings with car under
control and look in both directions be-
fore crossing the tracks. This simple
precaution, if practiced by all, would
save hundreds of lives in the United
States every year
"The reverse side of the card shows
locomotive running down an auto
mobile on a grade crossing. Underneath
the picture is the inscription 1000
deaths and injuries yearly at railroad
grade crossings in the United States
"a supply of these Safety First
cards has been distributed to each d.
visional superintendent on the Penn
sylvania System for use by persons
designated to observe careless auto
mobile drivers"
The foregoing circular fully attests
the broad intelligent interest Of the
Pennsylvania railroad company on this
question. The railroad, Of course is
the more vitally interested because nc
matter how culpable the crossing vic
tins, the railroad generally has to
foot the bills. No one however will
deny the correctness of the conclusions
reached through the foregoing expert
ment. All those careless drivers were
fully aware of the risks they were TAX
ing and it is not until they are hit by a
train will they refrain from these
risks. The abolition of the grade
crossing is therefore the only remedy

"That's the way with brunettes. The
ginger-ale fiend must be deep one,
too"
Eliza was a good-looking girl and
Hendricks continued to order his GIN
ger ale, read his paper, sip his drink
. and hurry out Of the store.
/ One morning, as she lay in bed
snatching a few extra minutes OF
/ scmi-Slumber, n startling fact crept
/ into Elias brain. She had no clean
/ clothes! She had been working hard
/ er than usual of late and had allowed
her soiled garments to accumulate.
/ She had intended to wash out waist
and skirt the night before, but had
. forgotten TO do It.
/ She lcapcd from bed, on the verge
of a panic. Horrors! Go behind the
/ soda fountain with sOiled clothes? I'm
/ possible. What was to be done? There
was nothing that could be done unless
oh, she couldn't do that, and yet
well, it was the only course.
She shook her sister, who was not
due at The clothing store until Eliza
had been mixing drinks for an hour.
Isabel" cried Eliza. "Wake up!
Can you let me wear a waist and skirt
of yours today? / hate to ask you,
but mine aren't fit"
Isabel sat up and rubbed her eyes,
and yawned, then glared at Eliza as
though debating whether to rend her
limb from limb.
"You-want-to-borrow-a- waist
-and-skirt?" she said;S as though she
could not believe her ears. You
you queen Of fashion-you want to
wear my plain clothes?"
Eliza felt somewhat abashed.
"Well, no, / really don't want to-"
she replied; "but there's nothing else
to do"
So 1t was that Eliza Correll, fash
ion plate of Silverworth's soda en-
porium, appeared that morning in plain
attirc-startlingly plain; so plain that.
her fellow workers were awc-strick-
en- and talked in undertones.
While she worked Eliza became filed
with apprehension.
"What will the gnger-ale fiend
Think" she wondered, and resolved to
keep out of sight at two O'Clock. But
this proved impossible, for at l 40 a
rush began and every available hand
was needed.
"Maybe he won't come today"
Eliza thought, but she realized she
might as well hope to halt time itself
in its flight. Sure enough, at two
o'clock in walked John Hendricks. He
seated himself and waited for his or
der to be taken. Contrary to her ordl-
nary course of procedure, Eliza tried
to keep in the background, but all the
other girls were busy, and service"
was n bywOrd at Silvcrworth's.
"Wcu, here goes. All is lost" she
murmured ana approached John Hen
dficks. For the first time in history
he smiled at her.
"IIcllom he said pleasantly; I'D
like ginger ale. You're new at this
job, aren't yOu?"
ElZas power Of speech was para
lyzcd momcntarily, but she managed to
get ii In working order long enough to

"No-oh, no; that is, not especially
new. I've been here off and on"

Parochial School Law
Passes Both Houses

Lincoln, April 25,-(Spccial.)-
Nebraskas parochial school law
was made hog tight by the action OF
the house in adopting senate
amendments TO II. r. 100, the child
welfare bill which changes some OF
the provisions OF compulsory at
tendance.
After the bill passed the house, il
was found to contain a repeal clause,
which seemingly knocked out some
OF the vital portions of the parochial
school law, enacted two years ago.
The senate patched up this hole and
while doing so required city and
county superintehdents to inspect
parochial schools at least twice a
year.
By vote OF 50 to IA, the house
concurred in the senate amend
ments.
