 Ordinarily the newcomer finds as much interest in the shoppers as in the styles. But there is a mo- ticeable deartt now of interesting people in the Rue de Ia PaiX and the Champs Elyseos shops. Pro fessional buyers and bargain hunt CTS dominate the scene.
 When the fashionable shoppers return to Paris winter collections will have lost their new looks after several weeks of display. The manncauins will have learned how best 10 wear the new models and the trend of the new style will be definitely known.
 It is significant that Paris dress houses do not show advance win ter styles at summer resorts. al though each spring they send sum- ner models tc winter resorts. The well dressed world hates to say goodbye to summer.

WOMAN EXPLORER TOURS IN AFRICA
Drives Her FiYYer Throueh
 Dark Continent

Boston. Aug g. RAA bobbed
 <red young woman. honking a horn and driving an automobile, gave to some women members of a few central African tribes their first lesson in modern civilization.
 She is Mrs. Stella Court Treatt, first white woman to penetrate some of the remote districts of hat continent, and feminine chauf- feur for party of five. led by her husband, Major c. Court Treatt, F. R. G. S., F. R. c. I. Their journey exclusively by automobile was from Capetown to Cairo, a distance of 2.0o0 miles. As Mrs. Treatt records in her book. Cape t Cai- TO-. the tours through unsurveyed wilderness brought their mileage to 13ooo in Is months.
 Mrs. Treatt was second in con- mand. Her special titles, however, were the three D's" doctor, diarist and darner. One entry in her diary reads:
 T hope never to darn another stocking in my life" Later she writes:
 I am trying to forget l am a wo- man; it isn't always easy, but am sure it is the only way to get through. But how I would love g. big bath and some silky clothes to wear just this once!
 T dream of my missing hair as a fox does of his lost tail.
 But women explorers can't have everything. and am beginning to he rather expert in doing without luxuries"
 In many O. the inland districts the group gained favor with the natives because Mrs. Treatt gave first aid to ailing babies. These white people, especially the woman in her boys clothes. were a source of amazement. Native Dinkas turned out to stare at the machine and its occupants. but never did the natives give any real trouble or seriously hinder their progress.
 Despite the lask of traffic regu- lations-the bane of a motorists existence - Mrs. Troatt shows clearly that journey through Af- rica by motor car is by no means exclusively a pleasure trip"
 Roads that ran into river beds bordered with swamps; streams where new bridges had to be built 'o bear the cars burdens; jungle lands with lions eyes for traffic lights; hostile native pedestrians these were some of the difficulties encountered on the trip.
 A complete motion picture record was kept from the day they left Capetoon, Sept. 15. 1924. until they reached Cairo, Jan. 26, 1926.
 They paid tribute to Cecil Rhodes, famous explorer. when they passed his grave in Bulawayo.

MANUAL ARTS ARE
 TAUGHT TO GIRLS
Texas College Shows Even How
 to Drive Nails

Denton, Texas, Aug 2. P-The masculine belief that a girl or wo- man can not drive nail straight, or follow 8 line with a saw, is out of date at the Texas College of h. dustrial Arts.
 Girl students prove every day of the school year that they are equal, If not better, at metal and wood working than the men. The com- parison is not evident at the col leee, for only girls attend but the records speak for themselves.
 Advanced students in craft work are permitted to use power machinery, including band saw such as is barred from some boys and most coeducational schools, be- cause of danger and accidents. The records covering a number of years show not a single accident to any of the girls.
 The object of the course is to develop an appreciation of good workmanship and design in furni- lures. The girls are taught to ex- press themselves in the wood and metal with which they fashion ar- ticles for decorative and utilitarian purposes.
 They learn to distinguish the kind quality and uses of various woods and how best to finish them. An exhibition in the manual arts room includes chairs, desks. tables, and examples Of irnumerable other articles of furniture.
 Some of the women specialize in Weeving baskets of reed, sewing them with raffa, pine needles and wire grass.
 One group etches intricate de- signs on copper and brass and still another fashions jewelry - chains, rings, brooches.
 Miss Evelyn H. Riebe Is fin charge of metal. basketry and lewe1ry work, and Miss Elizabeth Fraser directs the woodworking.

Consider The Source

Those who furthering the return OF the liquor raf
fc by the modification of the prohibition laws to permit
the sale of beer and wine, unit i'll that pro-
gram. The beer and wine chorus of numerous me too
politicians, big and little, is perfect harmony. Plenty of
beer and wine is the only solution of the liquor problem
Practically 90 per cent of the liquor business in the
days Of license, consisted Of the manufacture and sale of
beer The big lords Of the beer business owned and
oed outright 20 per cent to IS per cent of all the
looms during the license regime. High license and low
license, every form of local option state and city gov
eminent dsepnsariesevcry conceivable method of reg
ulaon and restriction with these forces in control
weighed in the balance by the American people and found
woeully wanting.
When consider the performance of the liquor in
terests in the past their utter disregard of law their
deatbed repentances for true temperance" when local
option and statewide prohibition about to engulf
themther present day noisy profession of antagonism
to the return of the saloon they holer for beer is in
deed, hollow and humorous.
The nation is asked to accept solution Of the
liquor evil the remedy suggested by these interests. In
other words the question before the American people
this issue is whether they will permit those who
obeyed the law in the past dictate what the law shall
be in the future.
