Tens of Thousands invade
Homes and Evince Fondness
for Oriental Rugs.
BY International News Service.

DAYTON. KY, Oct. 1.-THE
cricket on the hearth, ever since the
time he was so ably press-agented by
Charles Dickens, has been considered
sign Of good luck for any family
fireside which he might honor with
his presence.
Not so, however, do the housewives
Of this Cincinnati suburb regard
him. They assert with vehemence
that he il distinctly bad luck.
The reason? Thousands and tens
of thousands, coming apparently
from the city dump" have invaded
the homes Of residents and driven
them frantic with their chirping and
crawling.
These particular cricketg, gray in
color and unusually large, are said
to, have chewed up much wearing
apparel and many rugs. They are
said to display an especial fondness
for costly Oriental rugs although
they themselves are distinctly Ameri-
can In origin. Various poisons have
been scattered about for their con-
sumption, but they refuse the death
dose and eat other things.
City authorities have promised to
take steps to eliminate them at their
course before election"

CURVE OR LINES
PULLING
WOMEN
Can't Determine Whether to
Wear Figure-ReveaIing or

BY ETHEL MARSHALL,

LONDON, Oct. 16.-To curve, Of
not to curve, rs a question puzzline
many women tOday.
Many dressmakers are in a stat'
of equal bewiIderment. They do moi
know whether to advise clients t
select dress styles which show the
curves Of the figure, or styles whitl
disguise the figure as an ironing
board or drain pipe.
The battle Of the lines Of fashion
has reached an acute stage. Direct.
~ II seemed settled that for q year
or two women would be long, and
straight, and flat, there appear crea-
tons of puffs and curves, and the
rumor goes UP that the dictatorS of
fashion demand rounder women.
A considerable humber Of women
who count for something as fashion
leaders have already appeared wear.

Of plumpness, with alluring curves.
Whether they will triumph over

A leading West End dressmaker
says he does not think that curved
fashions, either those Of extreme
ful1ness or those Of the figure-re.

modern women.
IF women decide for such fash
ions they will soon adapt their fig

Fashion makes figures, and all
women's figures are by no means

An instance Of this was given by

The woman who cannot achieve

who has the cash to put herself into
the hands of a first-class dress
maker can usually have her figure

Warming the nation that the "black
cloud of the west" caused by the fail

the entire country just as did the
failure of the south's cotton mark ct
in 1914, Senator Oscar W. Under
wood yesterday placed blame for the

I'VE can never tell where that

can tell If the same cloud now hang
ing over the west will not be hang

Though the former democratic
leader in the Senate did not mention
any political issues in his speech. he
made 1t plain that he felt the assist

needed to straighten out affairs
abroad. and that unless conditions
become stable the American citizens
will be great sufferers.

to which they may go in company
with their neighbors for the many
community events which will take
place as a result of having such
building available. 1t stimulates and
cultivates the social instincts of rural
families and offers a way of satisfy
ing these instincts, thus doing much
to keep the young folks satisfied to
stay on the farm and not be so de-
sirous of going to the city.
County Agent Stebbins says there
are many other considerations which
make the community building parti-
cularly desirable. With a hall every
one in the community always knows
where community meetings are to be
held, when such are scheduled, and
this eliminates a whole lot of mis-
understanding. 1t is easier to ar
range regular community meetings
and a better attendance is assured.
With the coming use of the radio, the
community will have a permanent
place to install their radio equipment.
No community is too poor to have
a community hall, he says. All that
is required is to get the spirit of the
community hall in the minds of the
people, then select an energetic pro-
ject leader to carry out the plans and
do the detail work.
A large part of the work on the
building such as digging the base
ment, laying the concrete, hauling
the lumber, and the carpentry work,
is donated. He suggests
that one expert carpenter should be
hired to superintend the job and the
lack knife" carpenters of the COM
can do most of the work.
when the community gets ready
to buy the material" says Mr.. Steb-
bins, "a committee on building
should be elected and the members
should meet with the project leader
when plans given in the United
States department of agriculture's
farmers bulletins Nos. 1173 and
1874 should be studied and the most
plan selected. Don't build
1 barn for a community hall. Build
IN attractive home-like building.
Have a full basement under this
building, too.
mo matter how perfect building
nay be, its value is lost if it is not
located. 1t should be con-
situated for the people of
he community who use the building
Ind should be on one of the main
'oads. A site in the center of the
community always is advantageous.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1923-04-27

The building is 30x60 feet and the
material cost $500. 1t has a stage
10x20 feet which is completely
equipped with curtains and scenery,
all of which were painted in oils by
Mrs. George Parsons, a farmers
wife of the community. She also
painted the decorations on the sides
of the hall. The women of the com
munity bought and paid for a player
piano and complete kitchen equip
ment.
When the hall was first opened, a
home talent play was given from
which $500 was made. There is now
1926 in the bank for the halls up
keep.
Adds to Community Life
"The Genevieve community is
more closely united since the build
ing of the hail. says Mr.. Stebbins,
land the people would not be with
out it now. What this community
has done, others can do"
A community without its central
hall is possible, but it is in no way
desirable, says Mr.. Stebbins, for a
good home adds TO community a
quality that nothing else can supply.
In some ways community can get
along without community building
gatherings can be held in
school houses and in farmers homes,
but such gatherings never experience
the pleasure that comes to those who
have the use of community hall.
A good community hall adds ma
terially to community life. 1t becomes
the center for such activities as gen.
sral gatherings, lectures, and sings,
which necessitate an assembly hall;
local dramatics, which need an equip
ped stage and dressing rooms; NOV
ng pictures, for which a booth and
curtain may be provided; suppers and
oanquets, which require an equipped
kitchen and place to dine: library
With bookcases and reading tables; a.
gymnasium, which may be special
-oom or the same room as the dining
.oom or possibly the assembly hall,
f provided with movable seats; a |
lest room for women, a social room
'or men, a room for boys and girls
clubs, etc.
