Fords Fall From FAVOR For
Frisco FzauU Forms Funeral
Frequent Failures from Fights for Crossing by Fvvers
Show One Place Fords Will Fail.

Columbus, Kan. April 1O.-Four
miles west of this city there is a death
trap for Fords. More than one of the
genus flivver has gone to its long
home and rests in pieces at the cross
ing of the county road with the Frisco
track there.
A brand new Ford coupe belonging
to DR. E d. Ashley, Columbus den
fist, is the latest victim.
At the point in question, the county
road crosses the Frisco tracks at a
long angle. Planking is laid between
the rails, and on the approach to the
rails. Any car but a Ford will navi-
gate the crossing with perfect safety.
But the tire size of a flivver just fits
the crack which has been left between
the planks and the rails, and once a
slight twitch of the wheel puts the
tire into that crack. it stays put until

the next train comes along and boosts
it out Usually it isn't much good
after this operation has been per
formed.
Dr. Ashley's coupe was being driven
slowly across the tracks when the
front wheel slipped into the crack in
the planking.
The car was stalled, and the utmost
efforts of the passengers failed to dis
lodge the wheel. One of the men in
the coupe went up the track to flag an
approaching train, but failed. The
train struck the car and utterly de-
molished it.
1t is said that pieces and portions
of Fords which have met their de-
struction at this point are scattered
for yards about the crossing, but that

\ Fashion Ne1u S
Notes by Wire
to The Argus

London, Feb 24-The vogue for
gowns in two colors is not stop
ping with a skirt of fuchsia, for
example, and a bodice of smoked
pearl. The two color idea has taxi
en- such a firm hold on evening
frocks that trains are being elon-
gated to comply with it. Some of
the velvet evening gowns seen late
ly at the Savoy and other smart
hotels have had extremely long
trains of heavy silk in a shade strik-
ingly different from the frock it
self A periwinkle velvet gown
had yards of primrose silk descend
ing from the shoulders and ending
in several long points finished off
by tassels. These trains, being soft
and easy to manage, are thrown
over the arm when dancing be-
gins.
Paris, Feb. 24.-Three new and
interesting types of hat have ap-
peared with the first hint of spring.
One is an Egyptian turban, chap
eau of dark brown or dark blue
straw fitting closely to the head.
Two folds of faille in the match
ing shade cross in front, we'll up
toward the top of the crown and
the Egyptian effect obtains in two
sharp little wingshaped projections
Of straw, one over each ear. An
other new type is rather large,
soft straw with high and slightly
peaked crown, copied direct from
the Sombrero. Set close together
round the rolling brim are tiny
ostrich puff pompoms. The third
spring type is a small hat of white
faille with brim turned up on the
left side and down on the right.
The only trimming is very tall
wing" of stiff ribbed standing
straight up at the back.
New York, Feb. 24.-Some of the
spring undertakings have copied the
parti-color scheme of sports and
afternoon frocks. A set of shell
pink and orchid silk pajamas, for
instance, has the trousers of orchid
piped in pink and the jacket of
pink piped in orchid. A faint green
and blush rose negligee has the
upper part of green georgette
brought down in long points over
a skirt of blush pink taffeta. There
are little pink taffeta daisies with
green centers on the green chif-
fon points and little green taffeta
daisies with pink centers her and
there on the pink skirt.
