1T will be understood that any ad-

following: Promenaders convicted
Of ~frivolity shall be brought before
a special tribunal and fined.
"A marriage bureau shall be in

couples can be married from noon to

Over here we have a similar insti-

The summer season usually begins
about the first of June, when the
scenic racers are all oiled up for
their breath-taking dashes over the

The concession stands are re-
painted, and the romantic scenery

loving pairs may enjoy the imitation
North Pole or the palms of the

All the thrills of flying may be

Victor Hugo was the third of three

Gold Star Mothers
To Have Session

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 22-Govern-
ors of every state in the Union have
been asked by the Kansas City chap
ter of the War Mothers to seek in
each state the Gold STAR mother
who made the greatest sacrifice in
the World War, with a view to send
ing her at her states expense to the
national convention of War Mothers
in Kansas City, Sept. 20 to Oct. 5.
according to Mrs. Howard Boone,
head of the local chapter.
"Twenty-three governors have al
ready replied Mrs. Boone stated.
Most have promised aid, although
some of them declare selection to be
a delicate task"
Mrs. Boone said that the War
Mothers have decided that the ex-
tent of a mothers sacrifice, by vir-
tue of which she should be selected,
would be gagged by the number OF
sons or daughters who died in the
service of their country in the
World War.
This might not prove a strictly
accurate basis for judgment" Mrs.
Boone declared, but it is the best
we could devise" Mrs. Boone lost
a son in the war.
The delegates SEM by the states,
Mrs. Boone asserted, will be the
guests here of the Kansas City
chapter of War mothers.
Among the military men of prom
inence who have been invited to at
tend the convention are General
John Pershing and Admiral r. e.
Coontz, chief of operations of the
United States navy
Mrs. r. e. Bigney, of w lite
Plains, N. Y, national War mother,
will address the convention.
Among other incidents in the pro-
gram now in process of formation
will be the dedication to Jackson
county, Missouri. men who died in

1t is difficult to reduce the arm
perceptibly without reducing the

several effective exercises that re-

one way is to stand erect with
the arms outstretcheo at right ang-

arms upward, pulling upon them as
though you had heavy weight on
each arm.
Another one that is very redue-

both were fearless, both hated
above all things injustice, and both
were willing to take any chance in
order to see justice done. Victor
was still a little boy when Gen.
Lahorie was captured and put to
death, and he shared his mothers
passionate grief at the great wrong
done this man. She talked with him
and urged him to fight for truth and
freedom and justice when he be-
came a man.
Although his mother died when
he was only nineteen years old,
Victor Hugo kept her shining image
before his eyes during his entire life,
and it was her strength of purpose

world one of its greatest men.

How To Prepare
Many Tasty Salads

A salad may often serve a two
fold purpose. A fruit salad will take
the place Of a heavy meat course.
These suggestions for summer
menus may help you. If you are
serving a substantial salad precede
1t with a cup of hot bullion. While
the bouillon is hot, in and of itself
lit does not produce heat in the body.
A creamed vegetable on toast on
tains protein as well as the vegetable
minerals and boosts the salad calor-
les. A fruit dessert in a form of
pudding to add bulk and satisfy the
appetite is a happy choice for this
sort of meal.

cheese, l cup chopped nut meats, l
: green pepper. l fresh cucumber, q
cup sweet cream, l teaspoon salt, 1
teaspoon paprika.

er skin. Open and remove seeds and
white ribs. Mince. Mix cucumber,
nuts and pepper. Add cream and

ruin this salad if it is wet and not
properly prepared.
Spinach and Egg Salad
One cup cooked spinach. 4 hard
boiled eggs, X cup button mush-
rooms, lettuce. mayonnaise.
Broil mushrooms in butter. AIince
and add liquor and mushrooms to
spinach. Cut eggs in halves length
wise. Remove yolks and fill whites
with spinach mixture. Arrange on
lettuce cups, rub the yolks through
a ricer and sprinkle over stuffed
eggs. Garnish with strips of pimen-
to and serve m~ayonnaise in a lettuce
leaf at one side of the plate.

balls, 2 bananas, 4 ripe plums, II
cup diced apples, 1-3 cup nara
schino or sunshine cherries, Il cup
minced mint leaves, 2 oranges, l lem
on, III tablespoons granulated gela-
tin, 1-3 cup cold water. 1 cup sugar,
boiled salad dressing, n cup whipped
cream.

They are going home in the night

It's a great gift to be able to paint
a whole chaming picture with so few
words, isn't it?
But the lanterns are coming, girls,
and if you will shut your eyes tight
for a minute,-until L say Ready"
you will find yourselves not in far
Cathay, but looking out across the

Perth Amboy. And the lantern lights
do not come at all from the quaint
oriental lanterns hung around the

they are dancing from the boats at
Ianchor, and from buoys and light
ships on this side of the world!

sometimes skirting the edge of the
rocks right over the bay!
We saw a ship launched yesterday
over at the harbor." All the sum
mer people from all the many sum
mer places for miles around were
there, in motor cars and a whole
flotilla of motor boats. and many
more had walked for miles. The
crowd in the boats on the bay were
full of colorful charm. 1t was such
a wonderful thing to paint! 1 tried
to soak it all up, but it seemed al
most toe much to absorb. However
l am at work on a little sketch of it
right now.
But the thrill of the moment when
that huge schooner slipped and slid
off the ways and sent the spray into
the air as she struck the water and
Immediately got her equilibrium
again. l shall never forget. The
tears came into my eyes, and I felt
like praying!
There was nothing to do but try
to set the colors of that splendid
picture in my mind. and found that
every else in our artists camp
was thinking the same thing. We
were all trying to get at it as quickly
as possible. AS we all got to talking
about the picture at dinner, we dis
covered that each of us had the same
ambition,-to paint the great Amer
lean pitcure,' which was to be this
launching of a ship. The crowd was
so gala and so s~plendidly true to h
finest American types.
We have agreed to paiRt our
great American picture" and hang
the entire exhibit in the dining nan
cabin for our one festive night. we
call it Hanging night, just as they
do at the real exhibitions. h time
we are going to have some real
Judges and there are to be first, sec
ond and third prizes.
Did you ever have such a wonder
full experience in your life Mary IL,
when you just got everything there
was to be had III of every minute,
working harder than you had ever
worked before in your life, to stay
the end OF that wonderful time,-all
the time not quite able to believe
that it was really true? That's what
1 mean about this vacation. It's too
good to be true. Such wonderful
luck can't possibly happen. I'm quite
sure that l shall wake up tomorrow
