Can You Tell?

What Happens When Our Hands Ch;

What Happens When Our Hands Chap
The sensitive parts Of our skin are
protected by a thickened form Of tissue,
but the structure beneath this protec-
tive covering is exposed when the GOV
ering is cracked. II. when the hands
are washed with soap in hard water.
some Of the insoluble lime used IN
making the soap is left upon the skin,
this outer covering Is liable to crack
when exposed to the cold air. which
dries up the oil glands. When the sen :
sitivc skin is exposed we feel the action
Of the air upon it. and our skin in this
condition Is called "chappcd." One
Of the meanings of the word "chap''
is "the opening of channel" and in
the sense Of "chappcd hands refers to
the openings In the skin. If. when in
this condition. the hands become soiled,
the irritation increases. due to infer =
tion Of the raw surface beneath each
crack in the outer covering.
There are many whose hands itch
and burn in cold weather. This is
caused by having n sensitive skin. Both
hands nre cured by coating Of oil in
the form of good cream. When you
apply this oil to the chappcd skin YOU
simply give it a new covering and Mt
the same time provide the glands with
now oil, since the oil glands have been
dried up. Great care should be taken
when washing the hands to see that
no portion Of the soap remains on the
skin. ..
The skin is good indication Of age.
A thin. wrinklcd. inelastic skin indi-
Gates old age whether you are really old
or young as years are rcckoned. The
skin in such condition has become OF
inferior quality and its condition is an
indication that similar degeneration is
taking place in other parts of the body.

PHYSICIAN SAYS
GIRLS SHOULD PLAY

DR.. W. A. Evans, Of Chicago. gives
an interesting talk on the opinions OF
DR.. Crow. woman physician, about
play for girls.
DR.. Grow holds that walking and
cycling are both good, so far as they
60.
Cycling is good exercise for the legs.
Its advantage over walking is that the
same amount OF effort carries one fur.
ther and, in that way, adds to the
interest Of the outing.
It Is inferior to walking IN that. In
cycling the pelvis Is held fixed and the
trunk and arm muscles get very little
exercise.
Walking does not exercise the muscles
Of the back and arms as much as they
should be. While 1t jolts the liver more
than cycling does, it is far less helpful
in this particular than is horseback
riding.
Drilling and gymnastics are good. es.
pecially II they are done in the open.
They overcome the tendency to stoop.
make against showing off. posing and
excellence in teamwork.
DR.. Crow thinks gymnasiums have
too much apparatus. She would keep
few ropes and n few bars and scrap
most of the other impedimenta of a
gymnasium.
She is strong for team plays for
girls.
They develop character, they train 90 =
cially. they teach self-control. besides
cultivatlng muscles. nerves, co-ordina-
| tion. wind and endurance.
At the same time she would limit the
amount Of play in which competition
Is the main motive.
Baseball. basketball. tennis, golf.
cricket. lacrosse. hockey-none of these
is forbidden for girls.
Dr. Crows contact with girls who
competed in major athletics and in
games generally extended over n period
of many years.
She has seen large numbers of them
marry and bear families. and she is
certain that playing games in youth had
not lessened the fitness Of women for
motherhood.
The woman of today is better physi.
cal specimen than was her mother.

Mother Said 7wo Naro,D Ribbons
Would Make One Wide One 7ogethe,
But When There Are Two Little Girls in One Family The,
Have to Take the Naro,u Sashes-s So AL Through Life

There is unhappiness and worry that
can be soothed.
The woman who must skimp and save
and plan all the time uses this form OF
consolation.
Her neighbor across the way starts
out IN limousine nt the same time that
she starts out on foot with her market
basket. and, like Dorothy, she wishes
she could have something like that.
But then she remembers the fun that
her three children had the night before
with the dog that always seems to be
hungry, and the way they go through
all the clothes all the time. and she
found her reason for the marrow SASH"
IL guess IL she had three hungry,
healthy children and dog to take care
Of, she couldn't keep up that Limousine

tentedly.

to put them together.
And sisters are always more fun than

Things You'll Lore to Make

A DARNED- MESH SCARF is n
simple but effective way of making
scarfs for the summer bungalow or
home. Make the foundation scarf of Il
coarse mesh net. Choose wool of a
color or combination of cOlors that
will harmonize with the color scheme
of the room. With a simple darning
stitch work out the design. An easy
way to do this is to follow cross stitch
design pattern. A most delightful
DARNED- MESH SCARF can be made
with very little expenditure Of time or
money. FLORA.

A New Bit Of Rudeness

Dear Cynthia---Your criticism about
Just stepping Outs" whistling being
out of tune, or blowing the girls hair.
Is. I believe, not the real reason in
this. instance for the girls remark of
"rudeness"
If you have been 70 modern dance
hal Of late. you will notice that a
vulgar practice which has been adopted
BY some fellows is to try to attract
another girls attention on the dance
floor by soft significant whistling.
While it Is evident that the young
lady was mistaken, and even a little
prudish In this incident, still, If YOU
look at her case from the viewpoint
stated. I believe the "call-down" finds
justification. AN OBSERVER
Yes, IL this girl has been subjected to
such r1ideness as you describe. with other
boys, It would be only natural for her
TO suspect any one who started whistling
while dancing with her. This Is another
case of the innocent getting the snub
that the guilty deserves. Any girl Is
justified In refusing to dance with n
boy who is rude and insulting in this
way.

INDIAN WILD WEST
PICTURESQUE SHOW
Good Riders Developing On The
Crow Reservations Cody
Stampede Is Their
Goal

Elkin Stands-on-the-bull walked or
with the honors and first money in the
bucking contest at the War Bonnet
Stampede which was held in Pryor
Gap on the Grow reservation Septem-
Der 3rd and 4th. George Turns-back
took second and Samson Bird-hat
third.
This picturesque wild west show.
which was promoted by William Orser,
a white settler on the reservation,
called attention to the fact that an I'M
commonly good crop of rough riders
is developing among the young In
dians.
Heretofore, they have excelled chief
ly in bareback riding, but under the
tuitien of Mr.. Orser, who takes a keen
interest in wild west sports, they are
learning to ride according to contest
rules with a view to competing with
the white riders at the various round
ups.
One of their avowed ambitions is to
ride against the white boys at the
Cody Stampede-to which all the Pry-
or Mountain Indians are counting on
coming next year.
A seventeen-year-old rider that is
going to make the champions look to
their laurels is Artie Orser, the sec
ond son of William Orser, who rides
like a young wildcat. Another is Sam
son Bird-hat, the Indian boy who won
the relay races here this year..
The Wal Bonnet Stampede through
little advertising has not drawn the
crowd as yet which its excellent pro-
gram deserves.
1t is a primitive and picturesque
scene with its performers and spectat-
ors composed chiefly Of Indians, a
small crude grandstand built of slabs,
a track deep with dust and fenced with
poles, big bands of horses feeding on
the hillsides and the white tepees
cleaning among the trees.
The grounds are located eight miles
from the agency on Pryor creek. The
Indians come for miles around with
all their dogs and their children,
grandmothers and invalid relatives, to
camp and visit and bet on their favor
lite horses and riders, making from
three to four days of it n leaving
their gardens and crops to Providence.
At night they gather in a big, round
tent INT sing and hold dances. This
year on Labor day they gave their IA
vorite-the beaver dance-which last
ed from nine o'clock at night until
four the text morning.
Fights-well-known, Goes-Ahead-Pret-
ty, Simon Bull-Tail. Barney Old Coy
ote, Plenticoos, Bird-hat and Old
Crane, all were present, riding their
medicine horses and wearing their
best and gayest apparel.

COWBOY SHOT FINGERS
OFF GLOVES FOR FUN

The shooting of his best friend by
Billy '%-osgrove, foreman of the Ant
lers outfit on the Grow reservation as
the result of a challenge to Cosgrcve
that he could not shoot a hole in the
top of the cowboys hat, has brought
forth many anecdotes of Cogswelr's
skill as a marksman.
One Of the diversions among the
boys on the roundup which has been
going on, has been to partially remove
a glove and hold their hand out for
Cosgrove to shoot off the fingers of
the glove with his six-shooter.
1t is said that the killing of Henry
Lemondorf was due to the fact that
he did not stand still but moved as
Cosgrove shot

RISKS HEAVY PENALTY
IN TAKING FOREST TOOLS

Frank Lewis, a prospector. was ar
rested this week by Forest Ranger
Fred Thomas, he having been charged
with the theft of some tools from a
boy in the Shoshone national forest.
On Tuesday he vas given a prelim-

ties as high as a $4,000 fine and ten
years in prison.
Foresters complain that they have

STORY SPOILED WHEN
WOMAN is DISARMED

District court has been in session at
Cody for the past week with Judge P.
w. Metz presiding. Practically all the
time has been taken up 80 far with
civil cases, a large number of which
have been disposed of.
The only criminal case heard a
a bad check charge against Rowdey
Jenkins, in which a parole was grant
ed the defendant.
Some excellent entertainment was
furnished on Wednesday when the di-
vorce case of Gentner VS.. Gentner
came up for hearing. There were
charges and counter charges, besides
a few other varieties of charges. At
ter hearing the evidence Judge Metz
threw the case out of court, leaving
the participants in statue quo.
Whereupon Mrs. Gentner, the plain
tiff in the case, provided herself with a
large, formidable looking horsewhip
and started out with the avowed in
tention OF taking a summary judg-
ment out of the hide of the defendant.
She was overpowered and disarmed
by police officers, however, before her
job was finished, thereby spelling an
interesting news item.
