HANG OUT A FLAG

The League of Women Voters has adopted a very simple method or celebrating the Fourth of July. All of its members will hang out flags, according to a resolution passed at the meeting of the league on Tues day, last.

Flags are easily obtainable and are not expensive. Nearly every one has a flag, and every household should possess one for decorative purposes. League members are asked not to forget this simple cere- mony in celebration of our national birthday. Let every league home be appropriately decorated.

WOMEN AND THEIR 0

Many a worried, jaded, harassed looking woman owes her
eareworn expression to her shoes.
When will women learn to save il necessary on their
biouses and their jewelry but never on their shoes. The poor
est economy in the world is the purchase of cheap ones.
There is no article of apparel more essential to ones COM
fort than the shoe. 1t must fit we'll and be well+made. The
cheap shoe does neither. The curve of the arch, the exact posi-
ton of the heel, the selection and curing of the leather, the
sewing of the seams, the quality and fit Of the lining, the
flexibility Of the sole, these are some Of the things that enter
into the making of a good shoe. A heel that goes under" a
seam that rips, leather that burns, lining that rubs, and an
arch that does not conform to the foot-these are the things
that happen to a cheap shoe. The result is shoes that look
a sight, extra expense and worst of all feet misshapen and
painful.
The shoe is woman's hardest used article OF apparel. Yet
the woman who wouldn't think Of having but two dresses with
which to alternate her wardrobe feels perfectly welLdressed
with but two pair of shoes. The wiser economy would be to
have one less gown and extra shoes, for by alternating ones
shoes, ones feet are always welldressed and they last several
times the life of a shoe used continually.
After the selection of ones shoes comes the care of them.
No woman is welldressed and wellgroomed unless her shoes
are well taken care of. For good care shoe trees are the first
essential A proper shine and of course heels which are abso-
lutely straight are the other essentials.
Women give thought and time to the purchase Of your
shoes. It will save you money, stamp you as well-dressed and
add to your comfort.

BROADCASTS
BY LORA KELLY

When we lay down our earthly
frying pan to exchange it for a non
stop harp, we fully expect to be met
at the jasper gates with a neatly
printed set of handmade regulations
concerning conduct.
The management doubtless will
expect us to keep u halo at an ap-
proved angle, our wing feathers
smoothly brushed and u robe at
the ankle-length prescribed byIcon-
sentative dressers in celestial cir
cles.
If we are not lectured about all of
these matters we shall not feel ma
tural. Therefore we shall be unhap-
py and suspect we have slipped
through the wrong train shed.
Despite the vote, we do not appear
to have made much progress in three
hundred years.
We've acquired u cleaners,
adenoids, sally sandals, the right to
stand up in street cars and council
meetings, bobbed hair, radiophones
and mechanical mixers to make our
pathway brighter, but we have not
yet emancipated ourselves from the
higher criticism INDUCED in by men.
Here's Some solemn advice written
three centuries ago by a helpful
household hinter. 1t sounds strange
ly familiar.
ut resteth now that I proceed
unto Cookerie ITSELF" sets forth the
author, ito which, when our house
wife shall address herself, she shall
well understand the qualities which
must ever accompany it.
First, she must be clearly both IN
body and garments. She must have
a quick eye, a curious nose, a sharp
taste and ready care.
"Slle must not be butter fingered,
sweet tongued or faint hearted; for
the first will let everything fall, the
second will consume what should in
crease and the last will lose time
with too much niceness."
Ali right, st. Peter, here's our rain
check!

drop the idea of a musical or medy

finest performances. Mrs. Joselson
has been in charge of the minstrels
in the past and under her efficient
leadership success is again assured.
Tryouts will be held this Thursday
night and a large turnout is expect
ed. Children will come at z o'clock

Lately there have been so many

usurped my attention to the exclu-

From three to five is an important

years when he should be storing up
health and strength for the future.

age should be fed.
