A Graceful Bearing Adds to the Beauty
 of Your Costume

The effectiveness of your lovely new suit, shose dainty frocks, your smart office togs, that simple little house dress-all depends, in large measure, upon the way you carry yourself.
 If your walk Is free, buoyant, graceful, your clothes look better on you, no matter what you wear. Many a costume has been improved by q graceful bearing.
 A pleasing walk is enviable. But it is possible only in shoes that per- init free movement to every muscle of the feet. Correct shoes-shoes with a flexible arch, like that of your own foot-allow tho feet to exercise with every step you take. Besides being a comfort and a joy, they lend charm to your clothes.
 The Cantilever Shoe is a flexible arch shoe. In it the foot has perfect freedom; is correctly supported; 1; the toes are not cramped. The Cantilever Shoe has natural lines it fits the foot. There is no pinch ing here; no unnecessary room there.

 The Santa Rosa plant scientist, having produced many fruits, ber- -ies. vegetables, grasses and grains of great benefit. to mankind, Is today giving bit more of his attention than ever before to the development of beautiful plants and blossoms although in no measure giving up his work and interest in food, cloth ing and timber producing plants
 Seeks Striking Colors
 But 1t Is in the development of striking colors In plants and flowers, of pleasing flower fragrance and new flavors in fruits that his experi- ments today show breadth of imagi- nation. Hundreds of visitors stop in amazement each day at the low fences surrounding his experimental plots in this city and gaze enraptureo at the shades of some giorified popu- lar flower-some new zinnia. poppy gladiolus or larkspur.
 Burbank has a hundred thousand new color shades and varieties of the gladiolus, in every conceivaoble color and combination of color and of unequaled size and freedom Of bloom.
 His new amaranthus, Molten Fire" is his newest pride. It is plant frora three to four feet In height and three feet across, and whose leaves develop an irridescent, fiery, crimson,l salmon color. hue never before seen on land or sea, in any plant or anything else except the intense heat of the electric fur mace. It retains its brilliance Of color sor three months. Two years ago there was only one of these plants in the world.
 Constantly increasing publicity for Burbank's work has resulted in his experimental grounds here becoming the Mecca for thousands of scien- lists and world notables in every profession. He receives as many Of these as possible, but the unnum- bered thousands who come cannot, Of course, be admitted to the grounds,

TIME FORGOTTEN
 IN QUEER ISLAND
Natives of Tubual Care Noth- ing For Outside World.
 Eat and Sleep

Honolulu. September e.-The isle where time is forgotten is Tubuai, Austral group. about 200 miles south of Tahiti, where the popular dream of languid. lazy South sea exist ence really comes true, according to Robert T. Aitken, scientist of the Bishop museum, who has just re- turned from two years of investiga- tion In Tubuai in connection with the museums efforts to trace the origin of the Polynesian race.
 Utter indifference to progress or to the outside world is another promi- nent characteristic of the residents and their entire social and industrial program appears to be composed of eating, sleeping, talking and fishing. he said. NTaro- planting, the basis of the South sea food. poi and fishing are the main occupations,
 Mtken related, as one example of the indifference to time, his experf- ences In travelling between two islands. After a weeks delay / in starting, his party set sail, and the distance of 90 miles was covered after eight days on the open water. The return trip was postponed for a week, altnouSn a stop or only one day had been scheduled.
 Captain Careless
 The captain was careless in allow ing leeway and missed his objective by 40 miles; an error that cost three of the eight days traveling time. Ere quently a schooner, driven from it's course by the hurricanes, which rise suddenly during the summer months. will wander about for weeks before finding its true position. All schoon- CTS are required to carry sextants, put frequently this instrument will lack lenses. On many vessels the chronometer Is an alarm clock, set regularly each morning at sunrise.
 The population of Tubai is only several hundred most of them being of pure Polynesian blood, with some mixture of Caucasian and Chinese. About so per cent of the people are Protestant and attend church twice every Sunday, and a regular song service each Wednesday, according to MT. Aiken. The remaining 20 per cent are divided among the Catholic and two branches of the Mormon church.
