casionally they are made entirely Of
figured silk with a plain color used
in borders of the neck sleeves and
bottom of the coat and to finish the
pants legs. There is wide range
of colOrs to choose from and these

Night dresses are made in plain
colors and in deeper shades of color
than we are accustomed to seeing, as
turquoise blue, purple, rose. Crepe de
chine is the favored material for them.
But these deeper cOlors have not
reached a point of popularity where
they can be classed as rivals Of white

some new models that are very attrac-
tive. They are made of ratine, cut in
kimono style, but gracefully draped.

monos are shrred across the front
and back, at the waistline, and

Has Ever Had Happen
to Her.

1--WE had some remarkable eXpe-
riences in my life, but none more Won
derful than the way Tanlac overcame
my troubles and made me gain twen-
ty pounds" was the statement of Mrs.
Christina X. Dingman, 1916 Alice ST..
Oakland, Calf. One of the experiences
to which Mrs. Dmgman refers is well
known to her friends. When a child
of three years, accompanying her IA
Their, a noted sea captain, on an ocean
trip, the vessel was wrecked, but she
was almost miraculOusly saved, the
small box into which she was put be-
ing washed ashore. According to her
statement, Mrs. Dngman enjoyed the
best of health until three years ago
when she began to suffer from bad
form Of stomach trouble and later
from rheumatism. How she was COM
pletely restored to health is best told
in her own words:
"Nobody knows how I suffered for
the past three years. No matter how
carefully l ate l would endure ago
MES afterwards from smOthering and
sinking spells. Sometimes they were
so severe | would fall to the floor and
would have to be carried to bed. I
went for days at a time without eat
ing as / dreaded the misery l knew
would follow, no matter what / ate.
Then rheumatism set in and my Shout
ders and arms hurt me so l couldn't
comb my hair. My back felt like it
was breaking in two.
II was almost in the depths of de-
spair when I began on Tanlac, but this
grand medicine has made me a well
and happy woman. I'm not even trou-
bled with constipation now thanks to
the Laxative Tablets, which are far
superior to anything of the kind | ever
tried. 1t seems almost too good to
be true, but here l am in the best of
health and spirits after l had given
up hope, and I'll always praise Tanlac
for it."

THE reputation of Americans as be-
l. ing the best shod of all people is
being more than upheld by the femi-
nine portion of the population. Women
have grown so faStidiOuS in the matter
of footwear that manufacturers have
provided them with the most refined
and elaborate shoes for the summer
season that have ever been presented.
Shoes are becoming fanciful and have
graduated, along with hats, into the
rank of creations" They are made
in many styles and each style in many
varieties, so that there is as much
chance for individuality in their choice
as in the choice of blouses or millinery.
Women have taken to low shoes with
one accord, as may be gathered from
the examples Of fashionable footwear
shown in the picture above. But low
shoes include all the different kinds
needed In the wardrobe-street shoes,
those for sports wear dress or semi
dress. Combinations of two kinds of
leather are popular, fabrics are en-
ployed and stitchery for decoration.
Straps and buckles are featured, some
of the latter, for evening wear, may be
described as magnificent. The shoes
chosen for illustration here are among
the most conservative of the new
styles, where little individual tricks of
cutting or finishing make almost every
pair interesting.

Florida was grant
ed by Charles II in 1868 to eight gen.
tlemen as reward for their efforts in
his behalf. The name Carolina comes
from the Latin, Carolus, meaning
Charles. 1t was not really named after
Charles II, but originally In honor of
Charles TX, king Of France, by Hugue-
nOts who built fort near Beaufort in
1862
The fact that the Carolinas became
later two distinct colonies was due to
chance. 1t happened that the earliest
settlements located at points far re-
moved from each other. The first per-
rnanent settlements in South Carolina
were about Charleston, while those in
North Carolina were around Abe
marie sound. The life in the two Sec
tons also was quite different. South
Carolina was largely devoted to the
cultivation Of rice and indigo and the
planters soon grew very rich with
their large estates on which the labor
was performed by slaves. In fact, just
before the Revolution the population
showed twice as many blacks as
whites.
In 1929 the government of the Caro-
linas was turned back by the lord
proprietors to the king and there was
formed the two separate provinces.
South Carolina was the eighth state
to adopt the Constitution, the vote of
ratification being passed in May, 1888.
The Palmetto state, as South Carolina
is sometimes called, extends over
30,9S9 square miles, and 1t participates
in the presidential election to the ex-
tent of nine electors.

which was financially responsible for
the settlement of Virginia. He became
so enthusiastic over the possibilities
In the new colonies that he desired
to found a colony himself. After ex-
ploring the country just north of the
Potomac he persuaded King Charles
l to grant him this territory. In honor
of the queen, Henrietta Maria, this
new colony was called Maryland.
The payment for this grant was
specified as two Indian arrows a year,
together with a fifth part of all pre-
cious metals which might be mined. AS
the colony produced no gold or silver
the cost of Maryland amounted to
only two arrows each year, and Lord
purposes an Independent sovereign.
AS matter Of fact the charter was
not issued until just after the death
of Lord Baltimore, but as the deed
was hereditary IT descended to the
second Lord Baltimore, under whom
the first settlement was made at st.
Mary'S in 1854. This hereditary mon
archy continued in force until, under
the sixth Lord Baltimore, the Declara-

for advice and guidance in all these
matters, says Commissioner John

OF the schools of the United States
are rural schools. Mr.. Tigert obser-
yes: Notwithstanding the efforts

FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY

The Forest Service has initiated
his year an important step toward the
restoration of Americas forests. de
clares the Chief Forester in his an
nual report He explains that this
is a comprehensive study of the ye,,
qulrements in protection and refore-
station necessary to keep forest land
productive in each important region
OF the United States. This study has
been undertaken in the cooperation
with State Foresters, timberland
owners, representatives of forest '' in
dustry organizations and schools for
forestry. Its purpose is to put in con-
crete terms just what forestry roo
ulaatlons" mean, in the southern nine
belt, Appalachian hardwoods. of the
Lake States. Instead of dealing in
general terms, it will bring the for
estry movement down to specific
things which are to be done in the
woods, as minimum standards. It
VIII thus serve as the basis for anv
plan of public regulation of forest
lands and also aid the landowner who
undertakes the growing of timber
crops on his own isitiative.

aires regarding the steel industry
1t was announced by the corporations
thhat they will not be forced into
permitting the commission to pry in
to their private affairs and will be
prepared for any drastic action to
which the commission may resort.
Many authorities were submitted on
both sides, the government conten-
ding that the Federal Trade Com
mission has been invested with autho-

BATTERY DOPES

There are so many wonderful
things being done every day that
when a man says he has a solution
OF very, very secret nature, with
some peculiar metal in it, which puts
new life into battery, nine out of
ten people are ready to believe him
without question.
The whole SCENE of battery doping
seems so plausible that dozens of
companies have been led to start in
business manufacturing "dopes" of
various sorts.
Some of these battery medicines
are really harmless, and the worst
that can be said about them is that
they do no good-except that they re-
.Eeye the car owner of about five or
.slN dollars which he might invest in
3s Elcas, oil, or something else more
/. eedful to the car. There are others
that do actual harm by taking active
materials away from the battery
plates and by introducing foreign
substances into the battery solution.
AS result of a recent checkup on
the subject of battery dopes, the Will
lard Storage Battery Company found
that all makers of the standard we'll
known batteries are agreed upon the
fact that the only satisfactory bat
terry solution is diluted with pure sui
phuric acid of the proper density.
Emphasis should be placed on the
word pure" for any foreign substan-
ces are liable to cause trouble in the
battery. There is nothing, say these
manufacturers, that will improve up
on the pure solution that is put into
the battery by the manufacturers and
their authorized service stations.
The sum and substance of a battery
builders advice to owners that the
way to keep batterty in condition
is to put water in at regular intervals
and keep it charged when necessary,
and to remember that dope
ever there may be in it--can never
take the place of proper attention.
