Last weeks seems to have been

evidently decided that after striving
hard during the first special prize
period week'Srest was in order
s:nce it was yuletide week. Perhaps
they have regained their breath and
energy by now and results this week
will benefit.
Real workers in The Dispatch
News Salesmanship Club understand
the value Of systematic work, and are
coming up into the front rank and
staying there. Real workers are
showing judgment by getting to the
top OF the heap, for in this way they
prove to their friends that they want
the top prizes. Such a type Of! con-
testant readily command the support
OF friends.

Each contestant should remember
that others are thinking and planning
constantly for that $3.50 Chevrolet

tors are just as keen and resourceful
as yourself, and some very acute
minds are striving to turn every ad-

Strange Tribal Legend.

From the Navajo country. embrnc-
ing the adjoining corners Of Utah
Colorado. Arizona and New Mexico,
there has recently been sm,irgied one
of the rarest patterns Of Indian
blankets that hax been permitted ia
fall into the hands Of white men.
The pattern. described and illustrated
In Popular Mechanics Magazine. II
known ms the "Yeh.tsai dancerx," and
Involves n tribal tradition about which
the Navajos are decidedly uncommuni
.cntive. The word 'smugglsd" is used
atlvisetlly. for the blanket WIS re-.

It's removs probably would have re-.

have inspected the blanket assert TIM,
they have never seen another Of the

wanted for less than $50. Elizabeth
decided to make her own winter coat

bought tan broadclOth and good lining

total outlay Of $c481. A blue voile
dress with Q slip. was next attempted.
Commercial hemstltching for trim

A dress Of pussy willow taffeta and

$3S. Similarly Elixabeth's business
dress Of serge and crepe de chine

which she paid $3.50. Her evening
