that is not cut iower than tho neck
line. This is not her idea Of an even
ing gown. Yet 1t is sponsored by the
smart set Of Paris, London and New
York. It is an innovation. yes, bvt q
good one It permits a womaN to
make double use Of her frocks.
When q gown is draped- across the
shoulders after the classic manner 1t
may abandon sleeves and this keeps
1t strictly to evening usage. But the
canny woman can stretch its limita-
tions by having adjustable sleeves
that are short or long. and by the use
of them she transforms the frock
into one that can be worn in the day.
The blessed part of the new fashion
is the emphasis given the formal
evening frocks. the kind of things
which the women of sothern countries
have always worn. Thin. fragile,
cool. AS the spring strengthens there
is every evidence that these frocks
will be accepted for any kind of
shopping expedition. Among these
gowns there creeps up q faint shade
of blue which is like a sea on a day
Of sunshine. It has no purple in 1T.
1t has q flicker OF gray. 1t is trimmed
with silver in any form the designer
desires. Any fragile material is used
for this. Georgette crepe and heavy
chiffon are suitable and crepe de chine
comes into its own in this particular
sort of frock.
The evening gown with its collar
bone decolletage is of blue tulle COW
cred with wheels of silver, the skirt
edged with narrow silver fringe. BY
the way, an unusual amount Of this
fringe has come into fashion. One
sees 1t constantly on the edge Of net
skirts or on transparent panels.

OF Paris which is Of Natter blue

and they are put on b1ouses. They
are accessories Of importance.
It is well to give attention to the
type Of skirt used in this frock as
we'll as the kind OF collar. There is
a mania to drop panels over skirts
as II they were an afterthought:
They are ragged at the edge. and
often are attached to the girdle and
not to the frock.

There is not much food value in
rhubarb. 1t takes four cups Of one
inch pieces of fresh rhubarb to sup
ply a hundred calories; half a cup
of stewed. Children often like the
very young. tender shoots of rhu-
barb and should be allowed to eat
them, for they contain valuable
salts and acid. Our garden rhuharb
Is not, Of course, the same as the
medicine. which is the root of a
different species, grown in China and
other parts of the east. But it has,
to much less degree, similar laxa-
tive and astringent qualities.

available fresh fruits in the spring

cooked, rhubarb is a real delicacy.
Ihe tender young stalks need not be
skinned. and most pkople disdard
more OF the red base of the stalks
better than the stalk itself and adds
a good flavor
To prepare rhubarb for the table
or canning. wash the stalks and tear
on the thin brown skin from the
base: Cut the rhubarb into inch
lengths and stew gently in boiling
water to cover until tender, but not
soft. Add sugar to taste. boil three
minutes and remove from the fire.
For canning, pack to overfowing in
sterilized jars and seal. For rhu
barb marmalade. which is cheaper
than plain orange, and better. some
people think, take eight oranges and
five pounds of rhubarb. Prepare
oranges as usual for marmalade and
boil half an hour with the the rhu-
barb washed and cut in half-inch
pieces; add four pounds of sugar
and cook slowly for two hours. Turn
into clean glasses and cover with
paraffin.

were no dress up robes of lace and
stiff1y scratchy embroidery to irritate
his little neck and wrists, or to tangle
up his little active feet. He seemed
not to mind the fact that in spite of
his fathers worldly wealth he went
barefooted and curled pink toes with
out restrictions. And when visitors
came out of curiosity to see the new
baby he smiled pleasantly at them
from the depths Of his carriage or his

TUESDAY, OCTOBER II, 1921.
ACCIDENT OR CARELESSNESS?

MONDAY afternoon laborng OF Ardmore
was buried, having died from a gunshot wound
received while he sat in his home reading the
morning paper Sunday. His family is deep in grief.
Another man of good character is being punished
by his conscience for he is responsible for the sad
ness in the laboring mans home He and his
family sorrowiu.
Whether the snuffing out of mans life under
the conditions could be termed an accident the
result OF careessneSs is debaable. Is it an accident
that bullet fired at dog ricochets and does dam
age Is it accident that the dog was not hit !?
Was it an accident that only OF the three shots
brought and grief?
On the other hand was it carelessness on the
part OF the who fired the shot at the dog? Was
it careessness in his not observing closely the
direction in which the bullet would go Was it
carelessness that he did not follow the dog more
closely with his eye:
There is no law or city ordinance which covers
such tragedies. There is an ordinance prohibiting
the firing OF guns and firearms within the corpor-
ate limits OF Ardmore There is an ordinance re-
quring homesteaders to prevent their dogs running
at large and preying on other PERSONS property.
Because OF laws covering such, no charges
were brought against the man who fired the fatal
shot He confined by officers and questioned
closely He was released and told to go his way.
Perhaps it is right that he be given his freedom. for
il is reasonably he would not have killed his
neighbor without
This sad affair brings to memory OF all Ardmore
people several other OF promiscuous discharges
OF firearms which action by the way, is covered
by city ordinance.

COLUMBUS DAY

THE celebration OF Columbus Day does not honor
Christopher Columbus alone but the spirit OF
exploration and progress which had built up a
nation on the continent he discovered. This is a
day on which the New World should consider its
own amazing development and the fields which it
has yet TO cultivate.
One of the countrys greatest needs is for more
effective education just as that is need OF the
whole world. If schools are to educate for citizen
ship, all teachers both in elementary and interme-
date schools and in colleges must be of the high
est character and understanding These things can
not be paid for in coin, but there must be respect
able compensation for the work they make possible,
unless the world is repudiate its value. Many OF
the leading colleges and universities recognizing that
able services cannot be secured without adequate
pay have recently raised large endowment funds, in
an effort to allow professors salaries to have some
part the general rise of wages TO meet increased
living costs. This increase of salaries must extend
throughout the whole educational system il the
teaching profession is to be filled with capable

The report comes from Vassar, the oldest, high
standard college Tor women in the world that
the faculty cannot afford to stay salaries which
the college afford to pay The other big col
eges conducted their campaigns and increased their
salaries year ago Vassar is the last to
come into line. 1t is peculiarly appropriate that this
pioneer of women's education should have elected
Columbus Day for the launching OF its appeal. One
can scarcely believe in time when equal response
bilitieS OF men and women make equally sound edu-
cation necessary that 50 years ago the opening OF
Vassar College was considered quite as eccentric and
dangerous the famous voyage OF Columbus. The
value OF college education for women tried out at
Vassar is now generally accepted and should not be
diminished by the lack of funds sufficient for sal
aries.

BUILD A HOME

NO business man can afford to own mimproved
city property. Within 10 year period the
owner OF vacant lot will pay out in taxes and
expense much as his lot is worth That figure
will not hold good in city that is going forward in
great building boom as for instance Oklahoma
City did and as Seattle, Wash. did. but the state
ment will hold true in those cities and in any
other city OF the country at this period
If you the then OF vacant piece of
property it is the wise thing to do to improve it.
An improved piece of property will bring in enough
TO pay the investment. 1t will keep the
taxes paid and bring in a dividend the investment.
We have no more information at hand prices of
building materials than others but from the best in
formation we can gather there are hopes for
lower prices on materials. Wholesalers and retail
both assert that it will cost to build few
months from than it will cost now. Sundays

There will be other oil fields brought in in this

to build home even if The building requires sac
