USE YOUR OWN MIND

p EBECCA NORTH'S father, who

Il New England clergyman, always

she grew up, she noticed how con

wanted to make n friend of person.

not using their own minds, but hers.
Eebecca chose the books she wanted
to read for herself. When she went
to buy hat she had her own opin-
ions about line and color. based on
thought and observation.
"You look just lovely in it., the
saleslady might say; but If the crown
was too big for Rebeccns profile, she
used her own mind in making her de-

Once one had to hunt for the ribbon

Sheer Summer Frocks
for Bridesmaids or Ball

Whether for bridesmaid frock or a
summer dance or dinner dress, there Is
no more satisfactory model than one OF
chiffon or georgette, and in practically
every collection of models created for
resort wear one sees these sheer, f1lmy
frocks conspicuously featured.
Many are Of printed chiffon, and
they range in design from small con-
ventional patterns to huge floral effects
in a multitude of colors. Very little in
the way Of trimming appears, although
an occasional frock reveals the delight
full possibilities of combining cream or
black lace with chiffon.
Frocks of pastel-colored chiffon with
a contrasting note introduced In a
flower or spray Of leaves are lovely,
while the most delightful effects are
achieved by combining three different
tones of single shade. In graduations
of pink, violet, green and yellow they
are especially attractive.
This season much Is done with tiny
bias folds of the material, form of
decoration that lends itself to smart
and novel effects. Tiny bias folds are
arranged to simulate little collar and
to finish sleeves which are scarcely
more than shoulder coverings.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROOt

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure

Fairy Tale
MRS. cows STORY
0IWARY GRAHAM BONNER

"a very strange thing happened not
long ago." said Mrs. Cow.
She chewed her cud for moment
or two, then swished her tail and
whisked an annoying fly off and looked
about her.
Il heard this story from one of the
children who had been visiting at the
seashore. She didn't tell it to me but
she told the other children about it
and I was listening.
"As l said, she had been visiting at
the seashore.
"She told about the ocean and the
swimming and the sailing.
"She told about the castles which
they built in the sand and of houses
made of sand which the ocean came
and washed away.
Il thought it rather rude of the
ocean but then I suppose the ocean
isn't so very mannerly. Anyway she
didn't seem to mind
"But she said that one day they
took a drive and they drove along a
road which went back a little way
into the country.
"At the seashore she said there
were no country things at all; it was
just a little seashore place with an
enormous ocean and lot of sand as
far as I could make out from her de-
scription.
"The ocean at times became very
rough and there were some bad storms
but she seemed to like it though I
am sure L wouldn't.
"She didn't speak Of pastures or
meadows or fields or streams.
"The ocean, it seems, is great deal
larger than this stream Of ours near
by. I heard her say that.
"It made me think / wouldn't like
the ocean, as I have said. Or, rather,
I should say I wouldn't like to live
where she went a-visiting.
"But upon the day she went for this
drive she spoke about they passed by

Should She Wear Seven
Different Pairs of Shoes !?

The really well-dressed woman, we
are informed on the highest authority,
says an exchange, should wear seven
different pairs of shoes a day.
Just what they are we have forgot
ten, but the information gives us quite
thrill.
It is long way back to the times
when Abraham Lincoln delivered his
dictum on legs. When somebody
asked him how long he thought a mans
legs should be, he replied that careful
research had convinced him that they
should be just long enough to reach the
ground.
In those days legs, and feet also,
were regarded merely as parts of the
body. Now they are evidently what
might be called the groundwork of a
fashion show.

DUSTLESS ROAD IS

BA|LEYTOWN GAP
State Reduces Railroad
Crossing Hazard and
Cares for Traffic.

Completion of a dustiess surface

pleasant travel in the future, but
reduces danger at a railroad cross
ing on one of the States most
heavily Travelled trunk lines, State
highway officials pointed out today.
The Baileytown gap is caused by
delay in completing arrangements
for an overhead to bridge the tracks.
This bridge. says John D. Williams.
director, will eliminate two rail
crossings. Negotiations now have
progressed to a point when the COM
mission expects to complete the
overhead bridge by next year.
In the meantime the highway de
partment confronted with a problem
of eliminating dust which increased
hazards at the railroad crossings by
reason of obstructing sight distance,
treated h section with a blum
inous surface.
Today the Dunes highway is
carrying probably more traffic than
any other road in the Indiana State
highway system. On a recent holi-
day, a traffic count showed forty
five machines passing a given point
each minute. This veritable stream
of traffic continued over a period of
several hours.
