That Dress Budget Again
By LORA KELLY
The experts are at 1t again.

The experts are at It again.
IN a world that is so full of a
number of things, we are inflicted at
intervals with solemn advice-al-
ways from men-on How to dress
On 800 a year"
1t isn't always the same expert.
sometimes il is a ma who feels i'm
PEELED TO spread information of this
sort abroad because of his sincere
desire to make the world better-if
not better dressed.
Ihen again, it is a man who may
perhaps be suspected Of keeping
Women's wages down to a minimum.
We won't presume to classify the
latest au-knowing male who promul-
gates the figures so abundantly. y But
Il Is a are piece of humor-his table
Of statistics.
He starts out by saying that a
young business woman can dress
sum lie mere different degrees of
luxury.
Now comes the budget. For outer
garments. he says, one may spend
S10S.52. Just what the fifty-two
cents is for is not made clear, neither
is 1t specified what constitutes out
er garments" Whatever they are,
they must last two seasons. The sum
Of $3.50 is allowed for undergar-
ments; s12.46 for hats; s20.s3 for
shoes and $21.29 for accessories and
miscellaneous articles.
Economy for women, particularly
IN matters of dress, appears to be a
topic of earnest thought among men.
But which girls gets the invitations
to dine at smart restaurants? Which
girls are taken to the theatre and to
the expensive supper clubs after the
show to dance?
The birds of paradise, surely, and
not the little brown wrens who try
so pathetically to dress well on
500 a year.
Preaching one thing and practic-
ing another is one job which the
masculine sex does particularly well.

HOT WEATHER HINTS

The baby should be kept as cool
as possible, A part wool band,
diaper and slip are all the neces-
stiles. Sickness is avoided by re-
membering these things.
Give the baby a cool sponge sew
eral times during the day and take
off all his clothing at bed time Civ
ing him an air bath as well as a
sponge.
Give him a drink of cool water
many times during the day. He
needs a drink between every feed
Ing in the summer time.
Be careful to sterilize every uten-
sill with which you prepare the
baby's daily bottles. Don't use the
ordinary kitchen utensils, sometimes
lndifferently cleaned and not always
sealded.
Keep the windows carefully
screened from flies. We know the
danger of flies and especially the
damage they can do when they light
on the baby's bottle.

to teeth and disregard it. Cut down
on the baby's diet Immediately. If
this doesn't help, food should be
stopped and a doctor called. Milk
given when there is diarrhea acts
as a poison, not a food.
Boil the milk in hot weather, it's
a splendid preventive of trouble.
The baby may have orange or to-
mato juice every day to counter
act the influence of boiled milk
which lacks some necessary vita

WARNING AGAINST FAKE OIL
NEW ANNOUNCES STARTLING IN
CREASE IN OUTGOING MAIL
FROM TEXAS OIL cENTERS

Beware of the intense drive of the
fake oil stock promoters to sell you
stock in worthless companies, is the
silent warning which comes to light
in postal returns, announced by Post
master General Harry s. New.
No better barometer of return of
prosperity can be had than the figures
which show that outgoing mail from
Fort Worth, Texas is 48 per cent heav
Ter than last year Postmaster New
ascribes the increased postal business
to oil stock literature.
Slick promoters in Texas are now
breaking all records in the creation
and distribution Of worthless oil stocks
It is a fact that the boom in mails
from the southern oil fields is not due
to startling new oil discoveries. In
-tead-it is to the return Of prosperity
and that the wild cat promoter knows
the wage Garner and small investor
can be tempted into a flyer after sud
den wealth when woney is plentiful.
The common people had no money to
invest in 1922-but they have got plen
ty Of it this year. Fake promoters do
not waste postage when return mails
fail to bring in checks.
The warning here is to the inexper
fenced investor Do not spend hard
earned money for worthless oil stock
no matter how legal and sub
stantial' the company may represent
itself to be.
theoretically the Federal govern
ment can stop these fake promoters
from using the mail to defraud but it
doesn't work out. They are easy to
prosecute, but hard to convict-for
the reason that most of the promoters
are old-timers at the game, and their
literature is worded to evade every
point of prosecution covered by law
It is almost impossible to show the
circle whereby the money gets back
to the promoter who spent it.
Forty states have their own blue
Sky laws, but these are toothless
against the flood of worthless securi-
ties from outside states, sold and
shipped in through the mails It is
interstate commerce.
Last year the National Association
of State Blue-Sky Commissioners,
working with the American Invest
ment Bankers Association, devised
the Denison Blue Sky bill which pass
ed the House, but was tied up ard
never reached the Senate. This Gill
made it illegal to sell securities by
mail which could not legally be sold
within the borders of the state from
which issued.
UL,il the small and inexperienced
investor is protected by some such
law the warning S: Don't buy oil or
any other wildcat stock advocated by
an intense mail campaign, believing
that the company is all right because
it is using the U. s. mails in its sell
ing
Nine times out of ten it is some
past master in evasion of Federal pos
tai laws who is welding the get-rich-
pen, as Federal Court records will
prove.

ABOUT THE FARMER

The farmer is getting ready now for
a banner season. 1t is time he should
l.agin to reap some benefits of the
new day and age His adversely may
easily be turned into prosperity now
if he will educate himself to better
business Judgment and foresight.
Everyone with any intelligence
wants to see the farmer prosper be-
cause the farmer is the backbone of
all business. Upon his progress and
financial well being. depend ultimately
the demand for every product for with
out his buying power industries Wane
and city workmen become destitute.
The farmer needs to realize what
that great factor cooperation has to
do with his future sucress. II he Is
successful in marketing his products
he is going to obtain the best mar
ket prices and these can only be OBJ
tanned by observation and study. II
the farmer will work as hard to mas
ter the realities of business-of sales
manship as he does to produce his
crops he will be awarded by twenty
thirty perhaps forty or fifty per cent
better returns.
That is what all of us who want to
see the farmer reap what belongs to
him are hoping. We want to see him
prepared to cope with marketing pro-
blems as ably as is the "tight-fisted"
business man who may be liberal in
private life but who associates say,
will squeeze out every dollar his
product is worth. Wausau Pilot.

WHEN YOU GOSSIP

EVERYBODY gossips-the man in
IL business or his club just as much
as the woman at home or in her sew
ing circle. In fact some gossip is real
Iy delightful. If we ceased to talk over
our neighbors and friends with each
other we should be deprived or very
large and important part of our sub
iects of conversation. Many of the
cleverest plays interest us because we
are interested in gossip, and the great
novelists could never have become
such students of human nature had
they not listened with interest to a
great deal of gossip.
So don't start out with the resolu-
ton that you will keep the CONVERSE
tion away from gossip. You can't talk
forever about the weather, or the new
PLAYS or the books you read or the
chances of a warm spring or the next
candidate for governor. But when
YOU do gossip you can remember that
there is a courteous way of going
about it, well-bred way, and way
that is incourteous and ill-bred.
The truly well-bred person and the
person who has learned wisdom Cos
sips but little about himself or his
family. This is something that it Is
difficult for some persons to realize.
And here is something else that Is
difficult to do. Don't gossip about
