.CREPES IN FAVOR
Material Holds Lead for Dress:
Last Word for Dressy Coats
and Chic Wraps.

4l7-A 70 I.
It is easy to deduce That crepes are
still at the top of the line as far as
spring garments are concerned. They
lead for dress, both daytime and eve
ming wear, and represent the first and
last word for dressy coats and wraps,
says the Dry Goods Economist For
tie three-piece they create at least
half Of the design, and later we may
confidently look for the three-piece
made entirely of crepe. Flat crepes
are most often used. Crepe ROMAN
makes very distinguished looking
dresses and coats. Crepe satins are,

Printed chiffon rivals the printed
crepes and makes beautiful gowns all

tains its place in the mode, more as
staple, however. than as a fashion
item.

Attractive dresses of natural color

Jersey are trimmed with leather, usu-
ally in brown tones, and worn with a

New Sports Things Are
of Lightweight Wool

Charming sports things are being
made up in lightweight woolens.
Emphasis is put on the use of wooden
things for spring. Among the inter

tons in gay colors which were such a

Long Steamers Used
on New Facecoverings

Wells are thrown carelessly over
the entire hat or draped across the
brim only and allowed to hang in long
streamers, which fall in some instances
below the waist line. A smart note
is introduced in millinery by using
black veil; on brown hats or brown
wells on black hats.
The coming and going Of the veil
in fashions is unexpllTnable. A rea7
son can be found for most changes
in fashions, but the vogue for the veil
seems, to be more or less whim.
There appears to be no reason why
it should be dropped by women or as
suddenly taken up again.

parlor surrounded by mass of news
papers. He waved to me and went on
reading.
The inquest was not to be held until
one o'clock; and l wondered what
BARLEY wanted me to do with, my
morning. AS if in answer to my
thought, he looked up and sid he
was going into Saratoga on some err
rands, and suggested that go with
him and interview the girl friend with
whom Ruth had intended to spend the
night.
The first place we stopped on our
arrival In town was at large drug
store, where BARLEY asked to see
the proprietor When he appeared.
BARLEY placed small object on the
counter before him.
"Can you give me any idea," he
asked, what sort of bottle that
cork came from?'
The object was the little stopper
with the red wax which he had
showed me the night before. Picking

carefully. He turned it over in his
hand. scratched the wax with knife,
and took so long in replying that /
thought he never would speak.
IT think l cam" he said at last.
"The little cork not only had its top
covered with red wax, but the wax ran
down the sides of the bottle. In or
der to get it open, it was necessary
to cut the wax away. It looks to me
as if it came from Park Graham
bottle"
"You mean the drug firm?' BARLEY
asked.
YES / will show you"
He went behind the screen and re-
turned in second with little bottle
in his hand. 1t was but few inches
long, and the cork stopper was COW
cred in the same manner with red
wax, and part of 1t had run down the
sides of the bottle. 1t was the mate
to the stopper that BARLEY had found.
BARLEY examined the bottle care
fully, noted the label. and returned
it to the druggist.
When we were again in the auto
mobile. BARLEY said, II wish l were
as sure what that stopper was doing
in that room as the druggist is of the
kind of bottle it came out Of"
Bartley's real object in coming to
town was, however, to visit the jail

bore out all that Ruth had said about
the way she had happened to go home
the night of the murder. They had
been to a dance together, and on the
way back the car had broken down
near the entrance to the Slyke estate.
Ruth said, as she was so near, she
might as well go home. One of the
young men had gone with her to the
little cottage where her uncle lived.
He had waited until the old man had

STILL FOUND
NEAR WESTB Y

Sheriff Hayes and H. A. Roberts
made an unsupported visit to the west
end of the county Thursday afternoon
for the purpose of stopping the sup
ply of illicit liquor in the west end
towns. The purpose was partially ac-
complished as they returned to Cros-
by in the evening with considerable
homemade distillery apparatus which
was found in some shacks on an
abandoned farm two miles northeast
of Westby-the old Efinger farm.
Inquiry at the neighboring farms fail
ed to reveal the owner of the still, so
Sheriff Hayes and Mr.. Roberts en-
gagged in a Carrie Nation" act, de-
stroying the contents of several bar
rels of mash, two gasoline stoves and
other utinsils ued in manufacturing
of the LIQUOR which was carried on in
a deserted hen coop. The still con-
fiscated was crude affair, being con-
structed by using two copper wash
boilers and the coil was a lead one
and this was the most deadly" part
of the contraption. Patrons of the
"moonshiner" in the west part of the
county should thank their lucky stars
that Sheriff Hayes made the raid in
stead of the coroner to hold an inquest.

SAFE ROAD LIGHTING
OF THE NEXT DECADE
CURE FOR GLARE SEEN IN PER-
MANENT ROAD LIGHTS.

Legislature against the glaring
headlight fiend," says the mOtOrist
But legislation doesn't cure the evils
of glare, mainly because the law which
cuts down the glare so it is safe
also cuts down the light so much that
its use is unsafe.
Comparatively speaking, glareless
lights can be, and are made, but their
use requires a scientific adjustment OF
the lens, reflector and lamp, each to
each and the whole to the running
plane of the car. Such an adjustment
does not remain permanent; variations
in tire pressure alter it, and jars, jOlts
and lOoseness of parts alter the rela-
tons of the lamp and reflector.
For the present, better designs of
lenses, greater stTictness in regula-
tons as to- tilt of headlights and new
er and better designs of headlights
must be depended upon to minimize, if
not to cure the evil. But in the future
the complete cure will come in lighted
highways.
A hundred years ago cities were un-
lighted, or, if lighted at all, were very
poorly illuminated. In thousands of
small towns today the street lamps
are so few and far between that the
neighbor pays his evening visit equip
ped with lantern. Yet our cities
are we'll lighted; so well lighted that
the "glare" trouble of headlights is
easily solved by forbidding, in cities,
any but signal headlights.
Exactly as the Post Office Depart
ment maintains beacons to guide its
mail fiiers at night, so will the Nation
al Government eventually light its ma
tional highways at night. With the
volume of traffic which will inevitably
flow over national highways between
great centers, it will be more ecOnOm-
ical to light them from the side, than
to permit the motorist to light his own
section of the road with an illumina-
ton which causes accidents.

1t is generally held in governmental

ward, rather than downward, of i'm

migration quota law as a means of
combating labor troubles would be
extremely unjust to the country as

quota law, it is noted, is not framed
