for him to finish. Then go on with the
conversation. If he claims the floor
again, tell him gently that he had his
turn. If he interrupts again. send him
on an errand that will take him a lit

count the number of magazines stored
there or down to the cellar and see
how many empty fruit jars are In
need of new tops, Let him make a
written report Of some such inspec-

Draped Type of Head Covering
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Now it seems to be part of the
Americanization of most of these
peasant women to lay aside their SIM
pie, becoming head coverings and to
don some sort of hat instead.
Certainly the milliners would be
loath to see a revival OF the simple
sort of kerchief head coverings that
prevail among some European peas
ants. inexpensive to begin with. these
pieces of fabric last for many seasons.
Even the mantilla OF costly lace IS
rather an economical headdress. since
it lasts for yearS--and is sometimes
passed on from one generation ~ tho
next. No, the milliners would never
let us simplify the head covering to
such an extent--but they might make
use of a more complicated. more ex-
pensive type OF yelled head covering
all the same.
One thing that is favorable to the
draped type OF head covering is the
fact that women wear their hair close
to their heads. Any sort of draperN
would he out of the question in an
age OF puffs or rinciets.
An English visitor in this country
recently remarked that. compared to
English or French girls, American
young women seem excessively foCd
of curlS and waves. Hardy q young
American had she seen who did not
have some sort of hair wave-and
there was a general fiuffiness and fem
inineness about the young girls
clothes here that was the more sur
prising because the more mature
American woman seemed to incline to
the other extreme-with sleek smooth
hair and frocIs chosen for snartneSs
rather than DrettineSS.

First she considered pantry shelves.
In the flush of bridehood she had
adorned each shelf with beautifully
cut shelf paper. But it was forever
getting torn and dirty. She con-
sidered using oilcloth cut into pat

But when she laid oilcloth on the
shelves she found that it was aft

pastins it on did not help greatly.

Plain painted shelves were too hard

Finally she covered each shelf with
linoleum to match that on her floor

The fancy edging was done away
with. Now she had shelves which
were easily cleaned, were quiet and
easy on dishes. And more than that
they fitted into her general color

ESTATE OF ARMOUR
RATED VERY SMALL
Said to Have Lost Wealth
Rather Than Honor

Chicago, Aug. II R-The wealth
of ]. Ogden Armour, once consid-
cred SO extensive that he was rated
among the three or four richest
men OF the world, was a matter of
conjecture at the time of his death.
The Chicago Herald and Exam
iner said the packer was victim
of the war and lost SO heavily that
his heirs would share in an estate
worth less than $4,000. despite the
fact that several years ago Mr.. Ar
mour was known to have an in
come of many thousands a year.
During the war, events which Mr.
Armour could not control wiped
away the greater part of his vast
fortune, it was said, the noted pack
er choosing to- lose from 100000
900 to $150,00O,000 to protect his
family name.
"Mr. Armour once told friend"
the Herald-Examiner said that he
lost money SO fast during the war
that he didn't think it was posi-
ble."
Mr.. Armour was quoted as say
ing he lost 100000 a day for 100
days.
At one time the packer was con-
sidered to be the most powerful fl
nancial figure in Chicago, holding
more bank stock and other assets
than any other man. He was at one
time a director of several railroads.
a bank director big trader on
the stock exchange and vastly In
terested in other business, all in
addition to his own packing inter-
ests.
His wealth in those days served
him as a means for benefactions.
He supported the Armour Institute
of Technology. gave thousands to
social welfare and did other acts Of
philanthropy which marked him as
leading donator to charity. He
tried to conceal all his benefactions.

General Improvement Is Noted
by Employment Service

Boston, Aug. II (UP)-A marked
improvement in industrial employ
ment conditions was reported from
all New England states during July.
according to bulletin issued here
by the U. S. employment service.
The report, by states. was as fol-
lows:
Maine-"While part time sched-
ules obtain in the shoe and textile
industries in some sections of the
state, creating surplus of workers,
reports from other centers indicated
marked improvement in these lines
during July and a resumption of
full-tlme operations. Work started
during the month and several large
building projects in different cities
providing employment for several
hundred artisans with the supply in
all communities sufficient for the
demand. Increased farm work on
account of the haying season absorbs
all available labor of this class"

from several sections of the state

shoe factories are operating at ca

line. Part-time schedules continued
in the textile industry in some cities.
while mills in other localities are
working overtime.
Vermont - "A marked improve

mand for their services. In one part
of the state there is surplus of

supporting many as did his father.
Mr.. Armour endeavored to avoid
society. Aside from the opera, he
cared little for such activities.
He was quoted once as saying:
II have no social ambitions My
only hope is to run Armour and
Company so that with its growth l
will give many persons an oppor-
tunity to achieve promotions.
Despite his financial reverses
after and during the war, Mr.. Ar
mour is thought to have provided
amply for his family by establishing
fortunes in their own name prior
to his losses.
In the heyday of his career, Mr..
Armour was given credit for caus-
ing the Armour interests to grow
from a business of millions a year
to more than a billion annually.
