strength" as the fashionable slogan
for summer.
One delightful and typical costume
seen in a New York shop was made
OF gray ratine striped with black
and cansry yellow. Its long cape
was lined with canary coIored wolfe
and the same material was used for
the blouse that accompanied the
sleeveless slip-on. The sketches show
you other Ways in which two fabrics
have but a single thought.
Two eolors of the same fabric may
also be combined with excellent re-
suits. FALSELY patterned silks are
shown with plain colors and 80 are
striped and checked ratines and ging
hams. Where plain colors are used
together the popular combinations
sre black and red, beige and red. tan
and brown. sand and navy and two
shades Of gray.

SCARBOROUGH. n. Y.-Tho
one-man boss system in politics will

fore PIMA suffrage"
That Is one OF the things women
may do in politics, says Mrs. Frank
A. Vanderlip, wife OF the noted
financier, and New York state chair
man of the League of Women Voters.
The national convention of the
league is being held in Baltimore be-
ginning Monday, April "a.
Mrs. Vanderlip laughs at the sug-
gestion that woman suffrage mas

she said. Intelligent women all
over the state are waking up to the
fact that If they all study and ex-
change their experiences with each
other, they can master the int. cate
and difficult subject OF government
in a few generations.
Choosing the candidates and ret

Your Health
No Flies

No T1ltb-No Flies
The only way really to destroy
fies is to destroy their breeding
places. Flies are so widespread and
multiply 50 quickly that the only
way we she'll be able completely 10
eradicate the common housey il 10
prevent it from breeding and destroy
all eggs and maggots.
OF course. it helps to swat flies
and to catch them in traps. Such
efforts should be energetically MAIN
tanned. but the fight against the pest
will be successful only when all
breeding places are eliminated or
treated to prevent the full develop
ment of the flies.
Where flies are plentiful it is rea-
sonably certain fertile breeding
places are nearby.
Frequent removal or treatment OF
manure. proper are and frequent
disposal of garbage and the proven
ton OF accumulations of all other
filth is necessary in eliminating
flies.
1t is useless for municipal Of
ficials or civic organizations to start
a swat-and-trap the fly campaign
and overlook the piles in the
stables, the frequent and proper re
moval Of manure from streets, the
cleaning up of alleys. because for
every fly that is swatted or trapped
thousands develop in undisturbed
filth.
Most cleanup campaigns many of
which are even now in progress are
administered with this basic fact in
mind. Rather than concentrate on
the fly, concentrate on the auses
of his development.
Cleanup campaigns which really
clean up the community kill a whole
lot more flies by destroying their
breeding places than an all year
round swafting campaign could
ever do.
The n simple rule to remember
in regard TO fiesis NO FILTH, NO
FLIES.

'Curliccw Valley
The path that led down into Cur
licew Valley was not very steep. In
spite OF the Green Shoes. the Twins
stumbled at almost every step and
loose stones and gravel. roots and
brambles tripped then constantly.
The path was as crooked as its
name, too. and turned this way and
that in the craziest fashion. 1t was
50 very crooked that Nancy and
Nick sometimes almost met them
selves coming back. 1t would go
In circles like a watch spring. then
take a sudden turn and unwind. and
when at last they were sure they
had come to the end and would soon
be out of the valley. they found
themselves at precisely the same
place they had started.
At last they came to two lovely
rose vines climbing over tall gate
posts. and between them swung .
