NOVELTIES IN FALL COATS
BEAUTIFUL. IF NOT USEFUL, LITTLE "GADGETS" CREEP INTO
EEAuNuNE ADD AREI
BY HARRIET

TALL coats this season seem to
be staging a contest to e just
how lavish they can be in the use
of new furs and fabrics, novelty
touches, ~odd-shaped sleeves and
Unusual necklines.
The straight-line silhouette is
still more or less adhered to,
though by double front closings,
by draped and circular effects,
coats follow the lead of dresses in
obtaining more room for the fig
ure to move about in.
The circular fastening is the
outstanding style point for fall.
Fully two-thirds of the coats have
it. Shawl collars, stoles and
throws outnumber the tailored
ones and one-sided effects in col
lars are quite recognized as So
cially all right.
Cape Sleeves
Sleeves are ever o. individ-
ual than collars. The cape sleeve,
so universally becoming on fig
ures that retain slender lines, is
achieving a popularity that is en-
viable. Sometimes regular sleeves
are topped by pointed or other
decorative capes that are of no
use save as decoration. But the
idea that things must be useful to
be beautiful is entirely exploded
by these cunning little "gadgets.
Coats that form the outer gar
ment for an ensemble are adopt
ing the fashion of having the in
side facing of their openings copy
the color note or the decoration
note of the costume underneath.
B%roadcloth advances as quite
the smart material for semi
formal wear this eason An
afternoon coat of black broadcloth
shown here needs no alibis for
chic. 1t has a stunning cut, its
back suggesting a nipped-in waist
line and the front swerving grace
fully in double curve, from right
shoulder to left hip and from the
lett hip back again to the right
side as it reaches the hemline.
Collar of Fox
The sleeves are tight to the ell
bow and slightly flared at wrist.
Perhaps the collar is its smartest
touch. Silver fox makes an ire
sistibly lovely stole effect, with
the light-tipped tail hanging al
most to the hem. This fur out
lines the collar and the front
opening and then hangs from the
hip. suspended. /:
Lined with silver brocadrd
satin. this coat is appropriately
topped by a silver stitched velvet !

CATTLE TEST
Will CONTINUE

All INFESTED cattle in the east
end of Roosevelt county will be
given the %tuberculin test between
September 25 and November Is,
according to information received
from J.. w. Murdoch of the U. S.
bureau of animal industry. The
message received at the extension
office states that DIR. o. r. Burkett
will arrive in Roosevelt county
about September 25 and plans to
continue the work started during
the month of July. DR.. Burkett
will be assisted by two other bur-
eau inspectors who will arrive
soon after October LIST. The three
veterinarians can probably inspect
all cattle in the remaining I'M
tested territory east of the Muddy
before the roads become impass-
able due to heavy SHOWS.
The campaign to test all cattle
east of the Muddy for tuberculosis
was organized some months ago,
Veterinarians were not available
however, to do the work until dur
ing the summer months. At that
time o. R. Burkett tested approx
mately 1000 head of cattle in the
townships east of Froid and bord-
ering Sheridan county. No react
ors were found at that time. With
the resumption of testing, the
work will be continued until all
cattle east of the Muddy are test
ed and the area can be designated
as modified accredited.
The testing of cattle in Roose-
welt county is in line with the
work done in neighboring counties.
Sheridan county had their cattle
tested in 1925-26 and the Daniels
cattle were tested during May and
June of the present year. Rich
land county now has a number of
listed as tuberculosis
With the completion of the
Roosevelt county work now under
way, a large portion of northeast
ern Montana will be on the modi-
fed accredited list. 1t is the in
tention of the bureau of animal
industry to continue this work as
as is possible with their
limited number of inspectors, and
as rapidly as local arrangements
can be made to finance tranSpor-
while doing this work, with
he intention of increasing the
modified accredited area until the
state is so listed.

Silk Train Kills
C. N. Lineman

A. l.. Wood, telegraph lineman
for the Great Northern out of
Havre was instantly killed Friday
morning at z a. m. when the mo-
tor car which he was driving was
struck by a silk special about five
miles east of Bainville.
There had been an attempt at.
bank robbery at Buford, N. OAK,
and the robbers in order to pre-
vent apprehension had broken in
to the Great Northern depot and
cut all wires. Lineman Wood was
on his way to make repairs.
The robbers blew off the out
side door of the safe at the Blu
ford bank but were unable to get
the inside door of the safe open,
and did not get any booty as far
as bank officials could determine.
The attempted robbery took place
about 1 a. m.

pedoes bursting and making one
think that all the stars in the uni
verse were falling; there were al
so different set pieces that repre-
scented the American flag, statue
of Liberty, Paul Revere on a horse
and many others.
Everyone has the idea that we
~princesses shook hands with Lind
bergh, but to our regret W. didn't
even have a chance to speak to
him, although our table vas next
to his. But three of us ~princesses
had the pleasure of being given a
rose from Lindy's table by Sena-
tor Griffin. The Lindbergh dinner
was held in the Shrine temple
where 1,200 people were served
and each plate cost three dollars.
Our visit to the Capitol was
very interesting and beautiful. l
noticed that most of the pictures
that were painted on the walls of
the different rooms were of In
dams and scenery. In the historic
hall were many varieties of stuffed
animals, minerals, stones, flora,
Indian ornaments and paintings.
The luncheon at the governors
mansion was served in cafeteria
style and tasted very delicious.
Mrs. Erickson and her daughter
were assisted in the serving by
members of the Woman's club and
Mrs. Gunther, formerly of Wolf
Point. Mrs. Gunther is very happy
in her new home at the Governors
mansion and sends her best wish
es to her friends in Wolf Point.
The coronation ball, held at the
Shrine Temple Thursday evening,
was the most exciting event of

the week for the %princesses. The
dancing girls of Helena made up
the program which consisted of
parts by the dancing sunbeams,
the beautiful rainbow, singing and
the browning of our Queen, Miss
Bertha Ainley of Chester, Mont,
by Governor Erickson. Our first
appearance on the scene was
when we girls marched in double
file, led by former %princesses of
Helena who led the way to the
stage, followed by our queen and
her flower girls. After the pro-
gram WAS over we danced until
one o'clock.
We were driven in our private
bus Is miles out to the Gates of
the Mountains early Friday morn
ing. We were taken up the lake
six miles in a steamer and were
told all the historic events that
had happened there in the past.
We were told of the landing of
Lewis and Clarke here, and rocks
which resembled images of var
ious sorts were pointed out to us
Images of different animal heads
and human faces such as bride
and groom, elephant heads, bear
heads, calf heads and many other
images which are too numerous to
mention. After passing the Gates
of the Mountains everything
changed into different scenery,
which vas hills, mountains, rocks,
trees and grass.
l certainly appreciate being for
tunate enough to take the trip
and wish all my friends could
have enjoyed the trip with me.

That is the philosophy of Miss

Miss Barnum owns oil wells by

thousands of acres in the Texas
Panhandle field and her balance
in the bank is growing rapidly
every day as new wells come in on
her lands.
Struggle at First
At first it was a hard struggle.
Miss Barnum had made and saved
a small stake as a professional en-
te%rtainer. But she was determined
to make it a big stake and she had

So she made her way to Texas.
Her first we'll was a ~"duster," but
she was not to be discouraged and
in the next attempt, when her
funds were running low. she
struck OIL
She bought and sold leases and
out down more wells. Now she is
one of the richest women of the
southwest.

MISS MoLLlE AREToN
AA is wrinkled and stopped

This is her secret of soft,

to make one shampoo. With
this thoroughly wash the
hair and then rinse it in two

full in This Section

Along the edges Of sloughs End
marshes this morning, hunters lay
in wait for ducks, and they got what
they went after.
The opening day Of the season to-
day proved ideal from the hunters
standpoint. There were plenty OF
ducks and those returning to the city
this afternoon reported full bags of
nice, fat birds.
Prairie chickens and grouse were
few and far between, it was reported.
but the plenitudc Of ducks made up
for this.

reported in this vicinity, but one man
was injured at Medina. according to

The comparative scarcity Of the

reported.
