CLOTHES WORN
by PAR|S|ENNES
IN 1928 SHOWN
Fuchs Store Displays Three
Garments Worn in France
100 Years Ago.

Two dresses and one cape, each lot
years old. were placed in the win,
dow of the Fuchs store on East Sec
ond street Monday and Will be exhib,
tied there Tuesday and Wednesday
after which they Will be shipped out
of Casper with the possibility that
they will never be seen again in this
city. An opportunity to see these
clothes ought not to be overlooked
by any person who is in the habit
of asking the question: what did
Paris decree in 1892"
This is what Paris decreed-a
beautiful velvet cape trimmed with
ostrich feathers and decorated with
pure Jet black beads. n dress that
was decorated with hand embroidery
and handmade lace. n dress embroid.
cred with yellow daisies and trim
med with silk chantilly lace.
Each Of tho dresses cost originally
$500. and the cape cost $500. The
clothes were worn by celebrities OF
their day. by ladies' OF the court per
haps or at least by those who could
afford to pay the price demanded by
the tailors of so expensive clothes.
Each of the dresses is of n very
heavy silk that is not seen at this
sday. and they are also lined with like
material. Length of skirt. and
tightness of waist seem to be the pre-.
dominating style features
All three garments show signs of
wear.

Blind Mans Buff

Even in this age of enlightenment some folks spend
their money blindly. They buy with their eyes shut.
They grope in the dark as truly as if their eyes were
bandaged.
And all the time a powerful light Is being thrown on
the very things they need and want.
Advertising is a beacon to guide you in buying. 1t
shows you what to buy-where to buy-and when to buy.
At the same time, it protects you against fraud and in
feriority.
Merchants and manufacturers who advertise deliber-
ately focus thousands of eyes upon their wares. Their
values must be honest and their prices right, or they could
not advertise successfully.
Don't play blind mans buff with the elusive dollar.
Spend a few minutes each day running through the ad-
vertisements In this paper. Then buy the products that
have proved up in the light of advertising.

ST. LOUIS BANK WILL Be
PROOF AGAINST BURGLARS

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-combining
the massive character of an ancient
fortress with every modern scientific
device for protection against rob-
berry, the new Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis will be perhaps the most
~impregnable structure In the middle
west.
Plans for the new bank. recently
announced. show the building to be
a squatty structure. only five stories
high and spread out over one-thlrd
OF a city block. Even its exterior
architecture suggests strength and
security.
The building will have only three
Outside entrances. one OF which will
be exclusively for trucks. This en-.
trance will be guarded by double
portcul,is.
Among the protective features OF
the new bank will be bullet proof
glass enclosures for the tellers. safety
doors that close automatically on
persons doing business with the tell.
ers. and an electric alarm system
which will warn the guard detach-
ment within the bank as well as out.
side protective agencies.
In addition to the 81, 10000 paid
for the site, the building itself will
cost approximately $4,000. 900. Con-
struction operations will begin early
this spring.

KEEP CONTROL
IN THE. HOUSE
Agreement was Reached with
lnsurgent Leaders to End
The Tie-Up
GET REPRESENTATION
Insurgents to be Named on
Rules Committee, Under
The Decision
EFT REPRESENTATION

Washington, Dec. Is An agree
ment which may end tie-up in house
over committee assignments was
reached today by Republican and
insurgent leaders. At the same
time negotiations to break the or
ganization deadlock were renewed
but the outcome remained doubtful.
Under the agreement on the house
side Republican insurgent will be
placed on the rules committee which
directs the house Legislative program
and the Democrats will be denied ad-
ditional representation.
By this arrangement the threat OF
Democratic insurgent committee
combination to overthrow the Re-
rublican house co m M ee
places appeared to have been avert
ed and the leaders predicted that the
house would perfect it's organization
speedily and get down to the serious
work Of the session.
In the senate a renewal Of the vot-
ing on the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee Craftsmanship had been post
poned until MondaYbut there were
many conferences in an effort to put
an end to the deadlock brought about
by the insurgents refusal to support
Chairman Cummins for reelection.
The insurgent bloc appeared de-
tcrmined to continue to support eth
er one of it's number or Senator
Smith of South Carolina, a Democrat,
for the chairmanship.

Of soldiers of fortunes these days.
Yesterday they began arriving from

with the same purpose, getting into

into the fight on the best terms they
could get.
Throughout the day at the Mexi-
can consulate and at the headquar-
ters set up by T. Freziera, agen: of
the De La Huerta faction, these VEN
turesome personages sought connec-
tions. Either faction, federal or re-
volutionist, Obregon or De La Huer-

of them. What they wanted was to
get in the fight. But today they were
still seeking their war-like jobs,

SOME FARMERS
OPPOSE COULTER
PLAN, HE SAYS

Many farmers are opposed to the
plan of Dr. John Lee Coulter, p-esi-
dent of the North Dakota State Agri-
cultural College, for government
appropriation of $50,00O,O0O for the
purpose of making loans to enable
farmers to diversity their production,
according to C. r. Kositzky, state
land commissioner, who has returned
from a weeks trip. NJ
He quoted one farmer, living near
Sherwood, who worked into diyersi-
fication' gradually and kept almost
free from debt, to the effect that the
government would hold the bag on
much of the loan and that President
Coolidge's suggestion that farmers
must work out their difficulties was
sound.
"Of course, not all are against it,"
said Mr.. Kositzky. "Many are for
the Coulter plan. But you would be
surprised at the number Of farmers
who are in fair circumstances
through diversification who are
against government loans or county
seed liens. They say too much cred
it has injured instead Of helped the
farmers" ..
