As the days grow, so does the mag nitude of the big southern air meet which win be staged at Roberts field the coming Saturday and Sunday. Only Tuesday Maj W. V. M. Robertson and Adjt. J. D. Kirkham received informa- tion from aerial headquarters at Wash instap that two planes from Chanute field at Rantoul, H., would come here for the 1G0-mile speed derby and the other events. This was two more planes than the commander at Roberts field and his adjutant had counted on entering. On the same day the gov yernment wired that two naval cruising planes, stopping at Pensacola for few days, would make the trip here with the Pensacola flyers and would also enter the many events.
 Adjutant Kirkham stated Tuesday that never before in the history of the flying game would there be so many parachute thriIlers gathered on one fly ing field. Three parachute dropping planes will be here with three dare devil performers. With such a galaxy of stars it is planned to stage two double parachute drops each afternoon. The double parachute is the most thrill ing of thrills. The man plunges from a plane thousands of feet in the air. One parachute opens. He cuts loose from this one and later another para chute opens.

Shoes Specially Selected for Frock
BY MARY MARSHALL.

choice of shoes was limited to black
patent leather or black or tan kid.
At the present time the taste for en-
sembles makes il necessary to have
for each gown suitable pair Of
shoes
One of the results of this new de-
mand in shoes is that the shoemaker
needs must become as much of an
artist as the dressmaker or milliner.
There are no hard and fast rules
concerning the shoes we should wear
at certain occasions, since the frock
termine the style of the shoe, and
there Is no fabric or ornament that
has apparently not been used by way
of making new and interesting foot
wear Needless to say, the taste for
striking and original footwear has
gone further in France than here,
but the American woman Of fashion
is beginning to give great deal OF
time to the consideration of her
shoes.
Heels are SILL high in France,
though many American women have
definitely adopted the heel that Is OF
only medium height. A comfort
able" walking heel in fashionable
France would be regarded as peril
ously high by many Americans
There is new heel here which Is
high, but fairly straight, with very
decided slant to the heel where IL
Joins the body of the shoe. In France
q heel of unusual height Is MADE
with five sides and is called Chinese.

Yestidday afternoon I was in the
barber shop getting my hair cut on
account Of ma having sed II 1 went
erround mutch longer with my hair
needing a haircut she wouldent give
me enything for Crissmas except
something useful, and 1 was setting
there wishing BARRIERS would give you
ether wen they cut your hair like
doctors do wen they cut your appen-
dicitis, and all of a suddin fire en-
gine went past a wizzing, me saying,
G, fire.
Sit still, cant your the barber sed.
But theirs fire out there, I sed,
and the barber sed, Well, there's none
in heer, is there?
Wich Jest then 2 more went past
even wizzenger, me saying, Hay. leeve
me out a minnit, will you, Ill be rite
back.
o, all rite, there's no use me trying
to cut your hair wen you're jumping
erround like flea with the z yeer
itch, enyways, the barber sed. And
he took the sheet off Of me and /
grabbed my cap and quick ran out
and ran after the fire engine, and I
ran about 10 blocks, ony by the time
I got to the fire there wasent eny,
and 1T was starting to get dark and
L went home forgetting all about the
barber, and I took my cap Off and
went up in the setting room and ma
and pop and my sister Gladdis was up
there waiting for the dinner bell to
ring for suppir, pop saying, Yee gods
look watts blowing in.
Well for the land sakes o my good
Miss, ma sed. and Gladdis sed, Well
I've seen sites before, but nuthing like
that.
Watts a matter? ! sed and pop sed,
That's wat the intirs, audients would
like to know, look in the mirror.
Wich I did, and heer half my hair
was on and half was off, making me
look lob sided and funny as enything.
me saying, G. WIZ. holey smokes, I
forgot to go back to the BARRIERS.
And I had to eat my suppir out in
the kitchen on account of nobody
wunting to look at me like that
while they was eating and wunting to

Natures Cosmetics.

Many people think that beauty
columns deal only with cold creams
and such aids; sometimes our old
friends, Average Husband and Pater
Familias, write in and rebuke me for
putting notions into the heads of
their women folk" They remind
me Of the scene when the old Vicar
of Wakefield tipped the pot of cos
metics over into the fire and con-
homily on the virtues OF cold water
and Winter air, or something else
equally chilly.
They're quite right, of course; so
was the vicar. Yet wonder
wickedly whether they're not a little
bald on top (when they needn't be)
and whether they don't now and then
submit to hot towels and ointments
recommended by the barber. For as
long as cold creams are put up
in such fascinating pots, and toilet
waters in such ravishing bottles, so
that the toilet goods department is
the most alluring part of any store,
! don't see what any of US are going
to do about 1t. Particularly as the
women who use expensive cosmetics
are usually better looking than those
who go about with wISpy hair and
shiny noses.
It's true we overdo cosmetics. We
rely on creams and astringents to
make our compilations smooth when
we ought to eat simply, exercise
sufficiently and breathe enough good
air to give US the rosy and fine COM
plexions Of the fiction heroines. We
forget that hot and cold water has
tonic value not to be surpassed by
the cleverest combination of lotions
A daily hot bath, a real scrubbing
all over the body, cold shower to
follow, exercise indoors and exercise
out of doors, plain food and eight
hours sleep with a thin pillow and
the windows wide, is the best beauty
treatment any one Of normal health
