New Fashions That Are
Sure to Interest Women

One of the newest coiffures is Gre

drawn smoothly back from the face
and gathered in big puff at the
crown. Earrings Of antique design
complete the effect.
Little accessories of tortoise shell
are fashionable in London. One of
them which looks like brooch is in
reality a powder container.
The Chinese influence Is stronger
than ever in New York. It brings q
renaissance of lacquer red, which ID

blouses.
The new lingerie being used in New
York comes in delicate pastel tints. II

motifs In cross stitch.
Oxblood is favorite color in Lon

black. Women are wearing earrings,
necklaces and coiffure chains in beads
of this shade.
The latest cloche has no brim at all.

Side Drapery in Spring
Fashions Shown in Paris

Though draped frocks have taken
second place after the straight lines,
they are by no means out Of the rum
ming. and new spring models hint that
there will be drapes on many Of the
smartest gowns coming from the large
Paris dressmakers.
The new drapery Is nothing more
nor less than break in the waistline,
where the skirt is caught up bit over
one hip. It is rare that bodice Is
ever anything but plain, fiat and loose,
with no suggestions whatever Of
drapery.
One maker is showing some closely
draped skirts with long, loosely-fitting
bodices, drape that is disposed with
great art and originality. He uses 1t
on the crepes embroidered in crystal
and all the lovely lanes. One of his
lovellest models is in tissue embroid-
cred in jet and lined with black satin.
The drape is very complicated, for 1t
forms little cape starting from the
left shoulder and held in front by a
motif of strass and jet.
There are also some fanciful drapes,
curves and ties which are knotted
down the back and often come In two
colors. All are light and give the i'm
preston they are put together to float
and give grace to angular movements.

Clock Built in l71l
Still Runs in Omaha

A clock which was p years old
when George Washington first saw the
Light Of day. and from which the
Father of His Country on several occa-
sions later took the time, it is said.
still Is ticking away, In Omaha, and
recording the seconds, minutes and
hourA the days of the month, the
phases Of the moon and the rise and
fail Of the tides.
It IL the property Of Mrs. Carrie M.
Peters. At her death 1t will descend
to her oldest surviving male descend
ant, or In case none survives, to her
daughter, Miss Hester 81. Peters.
The clock, which was built by Felix
Owen In Pork, England, in I'LL, was
purchased by Newton Peters, who
seven years later came to America and
settled at jamestown, Va. A few years
later, he, with William Byrd, founded
the town of Petersburg, Va. At his
death In 1925, the clock descended to
his son, Absalom, and on his death in
176O to Zachariah Peters, later an off,
Ger in the American navy.

Frsak, Shadow. Appear
in Crude Oil Pools

In the great Gil regions of Californis
POOLS OF crude petroleum are quite
commonly seen, says 8. Leonard Bas-
tin In st. Nicholas. Here the oil II
allowed to remain until It IL stored
away In barrels. One of the curiosities
Of the district Is the freak shadow
which these ponds Of crude oil pro
duce. II, when the sun IL shining
brightly, person stands 10 that his
shadow falls across the surface Of the
petroleum, very remarkable thing
happens. Should the Individual change

son casts second shadow from his

the longer will the original shadow re.
main.
The explanation of the mystery is
simple:
Under the influence of the hot sun,
gas IL freely produced in the crude
oil. This rises to the surface in the
form OF millions of bubbles far too
minute to be noticed by the human
eye. When a shadow Is cast over the
surface Of the petroleum the tempera.

feet Of checking the production of bub-
bles. The result is that the shaded
area looks different from the part
which Is exposed to the sun. Now,

happens, the shadow effect persists,

about getting the first worm.
"Now. in my hotel, one Of the largest

birds sing all night. The music sets
the pace All evening and late Into the

the crowd leaves the birds get to sleep.

brought about crisis in the guaranty

1921, the failure of the Bank OF Com

mated total liabilities of the Oklahoma
Guaranty Fund up to $3,354 900. Guar

existed and this meant that the inter

Failure and Repeal
Other banks failed in the following
months. and the plight of the State

Oklahoma state banks were only

when the state legislature convened
and, after various attempts to relieve
the situation by one Of several expe-

The guaranty of bank deposits failed
in Oklahoma and is threatened with

 In a majority of these cases fay orable results have been secured and in some instances the subjects have been discharged as symptom-free, a condition the layman would call cured.
