o,y The WeLE-Dressed Man .@ h By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of EUerv Occasion
Listen To ThA Randi


 GINCE the days "when wild in woods o the noble savage ran," man has
 secretly coveted color in his mode of dress. Why should the feminine form divine be permitted to bankrupt history, beggar art and plunder the periods of the mad, bad Louis for bold, colorful themes, whilst the masculine form malign is restricted to the dark, dull and depressing? No reason in the world except that man is encrusted with the stucco of habit and is both afraid and ashamed to change.
 This season the trend of style to- ward bright colors is very marked in every essential and incidental of mems dress, from hatbands to handkerchiefs to hosiery. The gayest of ribbons are worn upon straw hats, and if they match One's handkerchief, so much the smarter,
 Different spruce effects in colored hatbands are illustrated in the ac- companying sketch. Here you see the horizontally striped ribbon, the polka dotted ribbon and the vertically tripod ribbon. All are correct, if the rest of your appearance measures up to them, for a man must be uncommonly well dressed to carry off so conspicuous a style with the needful ease and devil may-care detachment.

Then there are the plain-colored hat bands-blue, brown, green and the like -as we'll as bands with subdued hair line stripes and heather effects that stand out, but not too noticeably. Youngsters and young oldsters, who have stopped counting their birthdays, are especially addicted to the colored hat ribbon. Coming in club, college, regimental and blazer stripes, it may be made to take on real significance and to express genuine association or sentiment.
 Such hat bands are sold detached. if. desired, and may be transferred from one type of straw hat to another. They are, however, only correct with day dress and should never be worn with the Tuxedo suit. This only al lows the plain black ribbon to tally with the traditional black-and-white theme of evening dress.

ARCHIE HOGAN IN BAKERY
BUSINESS IN ALBUQUERQUE

"National baking goods are making
Albuquerque famous" is the way it
is put by a warm friend of Mr.. and
Mrs. Archie T. Hogan of that city,
who sold out their business here not
long ago and moved to that city.
Archie has launched out into bak-
ing again, and already has both feet
on the ground and is going fast and
stalwartly in spite of having had a
large part of his capital wiped out in
a recent failure of one of the Al
buquerque banks. He has the pep to
get ahead in spite Of discouragements
and says when his young son, I. Els
worth Hogan, gets big enough to run
the business he is going to hand it
over to him and come back here to
Flagstaff to live; though he won't
wait that long to come back here for
hunting, which he promises to do this
year.

NEW BOWLING TEAM.
STRIKERS, BEATEN BY
UNBEATEN SWATTERS

A new bowling team, styling them
selves the Strikers" and headed by
Manager Frank LaScala of the Lame
Duck Bowling alleys, challenged the
Swatters to a game several days ago,
the match being rolled off Wednesday
night
The Strikers started off strong, in
spired by the example set by their
captain, Frank, who piled up the big
score of 100 in the first game, and
defeated the Swatters by the hand
some margin of 78 pins. This was a
mighty good lead, but the Swatters,
down to business and in the second
game cut this margin down to 81
pins. In the third and final game the
Swatters hit their real stride, while
the Strikers weakened very material
ly, the result being that the Swatters
copied the last game by the big mar
gin of Ill pins and defeated the
Strikers on total pins for the three
games by so.
Mckinney of the Swatters bowled
his usual consistent game and won
high average for the evening, 164 1-3,
while LaScala's score of 100 was high
of the contest.
A return match is desired by the
Strikers and they are confident of
making better showing in the next
battle with the Swatters. The Spark
Plugs, defeated in the past by the
Swatters, have also challenged the
Swatters to another series Of three
matches in the near future and are
busy getting in trim for the fray, so
that it seems the Swatters are going
to have their hands full.
There really is enough material for
several teams and it is hoped that new
teams will be organized and compe-
tition thus become keener. Competi-
tion is the life of any sport and bowl
ing is no exception.
The management is offering three
cash prizes, commencing May I, for
the highest scores bowled during the
month of May. $40, first prize; $5,
second and $3.50, third. Here is a
good chance to pick up some easy
money, boys, SO put on your bowling
togs and take whack at these lib
eral prizes.

the Swatter Striker contest Wednes-
day night:

MORE BOY SCOUTS ARE
AWARDED MERIT BADGES

Troop 8, Boy Scouts, snapped to at
tention at o'clock Monday evening
at the local community flag pole,
when Richard Griffith and w. M.
Cady, Jr., their new scoutmaster and
assistant, took charge. Carl May
hew had already climbed to the top
of a box car and after swapping the
boys pictures they were loaded into
autos and taken out to the woods
about a mile beyond Milton, where a
court of honor was held. J. @.

The Coconino sun., 1924-04-25

So far as known, there are no
other candidates. There may be one
or two others appear before election
day, but it is unlikely there will be
many more.
Looks like the best interests of
Flagstaff would be safe and well and
conservatively cared for in the hands
of the gentlemen above named. 1t is
understood they are all in complete
accord with the present councils pro-
gram for public improvement; keep
ing well within our means but with
out niggardliness. Important just
now, they all are for the needed inn
provement in our city water system.
We have been singularly fortunate
in our choice of councilmen, and for
several years have had progressive
body of men at the helm. The result
has been that civic progress has kept
pace with our needs and with modern
civic methods and customs. That is
why we have such fine water, lot
of paved streets, fine tourist camping
grounds, city recreation park that
is the envy of other cities in the state.
While improvements are steadily be-
ing made in the streets that are not
paved, the town is kept cleaner than
the average small city. we are we'll
