commissioner of mental hygiene, made
personal visits to the hospital in this
connection.
Four veterans in the tailoring school
Of the institution charged that the
equipment for proper instructions in
that trade was lacking and that
acquisitions for such equipment and
material had not been honored The

text books were not supplied.

faint of Charity Is
to Be Thing of Past

The faint of charity will be removed
from veterans relief in Chicopee,
Mass, if members Of the American
Legion have their way about it.
Administration of fund for relief
of needy veterans has long been I'M
der direction of charity workers en-
ployed by the city council. If a vet
eran applied for aid, his name went
on record as receiving charity which
is said to have kept many former
soldier from applying to the fund,
founded primarily to help the former
service man along until he became
settled.
In a special resolution sent to the
city council the post asked that dis
bursement of this fund be in the
hands of veteran familiar with the
mems cases and that such relief no
longer be considered as an act OF
charity.

certain degree can control the class
OF his audience by the type of pic
ture he produces.
Two years ago the American Legion
began campaign for cleaner and
more truly American films. The CAM
palgn has been conducted by the
Leglon's film service under the direc-
ton of Meyer. AS a part of the cam
palgn the Legion has produced several
pictures for exhibition in theaters
throughout the country under the
auspices Of the 1000 local Legion
posts. These pictures have been edu-
cational, historical and entertaining,
and the enthusiasm with which they
have been received, according to
Meyer, is evidence a plenty that the
people of America want more whole
some films.

Five hundred thousand questionnaires
have been sent out asking the men if

used as a covering for a dog, at least
not in Birmingham Ala.

THE NEW JOKE

A funny fellow on the stage, whose jokes were gray and bent with age, once hit upon . scheme to try brand new joke some night. Twas really new mad crisp and bright. He felt 'twould be a scream. Twas heralded about the town and dozens of his friends went down to hear this brand new joke. They chuckled for an hour before, be- lieving they'd treat in store. Their joy they could not cloak. The funny man appeared and sprang the joke and out in front the gang sat quiet as grave. The Jester hurried to the wings {; the manager was saying things. Great Scott, how he did rave You've spoiled my show, you fool w h evowed. You've thrown an insult at the crowd. Go back and square it quick" The funny man returned and tripped! then fell, arose and slid and slipped. The laugh came fast and thick. Then to the lights he proudly strode and saked why bullets cross the road. They roared at him in glee. He told another of its kind and then retired just to find fa- nous man was he. A vivid morals in this rhyme. Dear reader, when you have the time, you'd better look for it. And I'd suggest to funny men they read this over once again and ponder just bit.

One very lovely gown is of princess lace and black velvet is high in front but is sloped away at the back leaving the shoulders bare. That is unless one cares to wear her pearls swinging at the back in the latest approved fash ion. A long velvet streamer is draped from the left shoulder giving a truly regal air to this frock. Other gowns of this type have their high necklines edged with fur and usually the. hem is finished with a wide band of fur to match.
 Now another dress has a neckline shoulders. It is reminiscent of the Vic torian era. The frilly lace sleeve re- calls this bygone fashion. This particu- lar line is not bound to be accompanied by full or even slightly full skirt. 1t has been seen on the tightest of tubular frocks. If you have pretty shoulders and like this low sweeping line you may take it as part of almost any style of evening dress. Another decollete line that is well liked is the diagonally draped corsage, one side coming up under the arm while the other side is considerably lower.
 The hateau neck has indeed lost its vogues. It was a boon to the girl who felt that the contour of her throat left something to be desired. It seemed to suggest that the throat which it part ly concealed was really pretty,Nif you could but see it.

 Divorce is a matter of prayer to the clergy, a matter of profit to counsel. matter of course to society, the stage, the screen and the literary world.
 Of society, stage, screen and liter. ary divorces the last mentioned are the luckiest-they make copy for them selves as well as for the newspapers.
 Yet, owing to the delays of periodi- cal publication, the intimate autobi. ographical picture of an American novelists happy domestic life may and does-appear coincidently with the newspaper notice of the novelist's diyorce-The Middle West finds it a trifle puzzling.
 Royalties in the hand are worth ali. mony in Ludlow street jail.

Divorce, even in America, was once singular; it gets more plural every year.
