LIVELY INTEREST AROUSED IN
LAST REGISTRATION DAY HERE
FIRST DISTRICT SHOWS A FALL
ING OFF AND SECOND A GAIN
Smyrna and Duck Creek Hundred
Come Up With 1904 Qualified VOt-
ers, 13 Short of Last Registration

The last registration day before the
general election, was held Saturday
and there was the usual activity to
get everybody on the list of qualified
voters. The two districts in Smvrna
have put on a total of 1904 names, a
little short of the registration two
years ago which totalled 1917. Both
parties had expected a larger regis
tratiOn from the fact it was a presi-
dental year and because of the inten-
sive campaign by the League of Wo-
men Voters and other agencies to get
every one of voting age to register.
The first election district, VIII. George
registrar, put on 130 names Saturday,
bringing its total up to 78O and the
second election district, Samuel L.
Rogers, registrar, put on 1873 names
bringing its total to 1925. Saturdays
registration throughout Kent county,
shows gain in some districts and
falling off from two years ago in
others. The city of Wilmington will
fall at about ten thousand below the
registration of four years ago, when
it was $4,000. Saturdays registra-
tion totaled about 5000, the other
four registration days having been:
First, 10,075; second, 1924; third,
1856; fourth, 1874 Two years ago
registration totalled about $4,000. The
proportion of women over men was
greater on Saturday, for the first time
on any registration day. Saturday
registration throughout Kent county
in practically every district showed
considerable gain over that of two
years ago. In some of the districts
while there was falling off from two
years ago, it is believed that the gain
in other districts will more than make
up for the loss in such districts.

Choose Veil of Color and Weave That Suits

A woman with small features should,
ordinarily, wear veil with a light
pattern. A heavier pattern may suit
the larger woman. Similarly, a small,
close-ftting hat usually requires a
single-mesh veil; but where the veil
is farther away from the face. as on
the large hat, the larger-patterned veil
is smart and becoming.
The most satisfactory sort of veil for
everyday use is the heavier, twilled,
linen-mesh enc, say, in brown, or in
white with black dots. These wells are
becoming to nearly every one, and they
wash and wear well.
If you want really fine, filmy veil,
however, get real silk mesh. For If
you buy the cheap limitations in stiff
fened cotton, the sticky dressing on
them soon comes off. and the veil cas-
lily crumples and tears.
Having selected your veil, learn to
take care of it. Do not leave it on your
hat for days at time. Remove 1t
when you take off your hat, stretch out
the width and roll it up. You may
wash your twilled linen or cotton
wells.

Fashionable Apparel as

brings back these authoritative high
lights Of fashionable dress: Flared
skirts are worn longer in back than in
front Sometimes heavy fringes make
the founce, instead of the fabric of
the dress. The Introduction Of long,
tight-ftting lace sleeves in nous
quetaire effect is an important feature
of semi-formal gowns.
one Of the novelties of the season
Is q detachable "choker" that buttons
at one side. 1t usually is made of
some fur, matched by detachable cuffs
on the dress. The only trimming that
some of the smartest evening gowns
have is heavy silver ribbon attached
to the shoulders and tying at the
waistline in back.

Shoes for Outdoor Wear Must Be of,Right Kind

The most important item of the out
door costume is footwear and it is not
easy to achieve happy combination
of ease and style without sacrificing
q little of each. Feet that are cramped
or damp must be carefully avoided,
and shoes that resemble ten-league
boots are equally out of the picture.
The secret Of graceful boots which
ore at the same time comfortable and
waterproof lies in the type of leather
amnloved. obtained feathers are
aonal TO this exigency and it is i'm
nortant to remember that shoes Of
Fbis sort should never be dried over
Rra as this leather burns very easily.
Cbrome-tanned leather is also salts
factory-it is soft and pliable, and
after it is dried does not become brit
tie or cracky.
The size of the hiking or tramping
shoe Is of utmost Importance. Remem-
Der that heavy wooden hosiery is es-
sential to foot comfort in heavy shoes,
and that it is customary to order shoes
of this character at least two sizes
larger than the normal measurements.

Toads Killed by Motorists

The common American toad is in
danger of determination by motorists,
according to biologists of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture In the vicinity
Of Washington alone hundreds OF
toads are found dead on the roads
every morning. They are extracted to
the highways at night by the automo-
bile lights and are killed as they hop
along the roadway. Experts say this
slaughter is very unfortunate, because
the toad is of great value to the com
munity. Many obnoxious insects and
worms are regular item on the
toad's menu. An examination of the
stomachs of over 500 of these toads
revealed the fact that nearly 90 per
cent Of their food is composed of
worms ants, snails, spiders, milIipeds
and other insects Pathfinder Maya

Do you select your veil with view
to covering "a multitude of SINS" or
do you regard it only as becoming
finishing touch" to your costume!
While it is true that veil does mini
mize certain defects, it is not mask
or a disguise. And it should not only
hide imperfections, but heighten
charms, says correspondent in the
Kansas City Star.
Ask yourself these questions as you
adjust your veil: Does it enhance the
beauty of my hat? Does it give my
toilet more complete appearance?
Does it protect my face?
Let your veil be Of color and weave
that you know suit you; and never let
it be straggly. The blue veil is perhaps
the most becoming of all. 1t has the
effect of clarifying the skin and height
ening the color, and, if the eyes hap
pen to be blue, it increases their color
and brilliancy.
The face veil solely of white is the
one most to be avoided, as it is unbe-
coming except to very youthful wom-
en-. or those who have very clear, high
ly-colored compilations.
