Yes, Madame" Kippy's face was
wooden-but Vivian could see that
he did not relish the idea.
She felt it necessary to explain to
this man who had been in Kent's
employ so long. SO he added:

explanation was the worst she could
have given. He had heard about
them artists. and them models"
But Of course he kept his private
thoughts to himself for n moment.
He told the gardener that evening,
however, and they shook their heads
over "the whole queer business"
IF you're a nice little tiger lily"
Barlow told her, talking her hat and
wrap. I'll take you flying after we
pose a while. But I'm aching to get
started on that picture"
He handed her a box and opened a
bedroom door.
Here, beautiful one, 60 in and put
these things on"
Her heart fluttered when she took
the box. But she was relieved that
ii felt heavy. AT least there was
plenty to put on. And when she
saw what was inside she was de-
lighted. II was a flying costume
with a snow white helmet that fitted
her like a glove.
When she stepped into the studio
Barlow let out a low whistle.
II knew il, my dearl You wear

a long mirror.
"Me?" His laugh was light. Il

She did not know how to answer
this. So she suggested they 60 to

He was all the artist now, rs he
arranged her position, turned her
head this way and that, and sat
down before his easel. She was
looking directly at him. as his white
tapering fingers sketched briskly
over the canvas. How very hand
some he was. He wore a sport shirt
opened at the neck. and his blonde,
wavy hair curled back from a high,
intelligent forehead. He would be a
great catch for some girl.
Luck played right into Vivtan's
hands that afternoon. For shortly
after she left Pat dropped in At The
Johns house. She was talking TO
Celeste when they saw Dovie cross

"Oh. We godsi" Pat grabbed
Celeste and stared. There comes

FANCY

Senator Heflin was the first member Of the senate
to appear in hot weather clothes. He has been IN
them for almost a month now. The Prince Albert
Palm Beach coat the double breasted white vest and
cream-colored shoes no longer attract the attention
OF the galler' y. They have become as familiar as the
outfit to along the same lines that the Ala
bamaI- > On cooler days.
But so with Senator La Toilette. He appeared
on the floor the other day in a two-piece dark gray
suit with a sack coat, a dark blue cravat and black
and white sport shoes.
He looked more the part OF a wealthy young sports
man al some exclusive resort than one Of the 80 who
help guide the destiny of a great nation.
Even the press gallery admitted that Young Bob
cut a nice figure in his new clothes.
But these two are not the only ones who qualify
for the ranks OF the sartorially elegant.
Hiram Johnson has a Palm Beach suit with a belt
in the back. His shoes are Immediately white and
his cravat is Sky-blue.
Senator McNary is wearing white linen trousers
with a light black coat.
Senator Gilletts shirt OF the lightest shade OF green
Is In perfect taste when worn with the t~wo-piece gray
worsted suit.
Jim Watson evidently could not bring himself to
a white linen suit, but he compromised with a light
gray apd put on white silk socks and white shoes for
good measure.

or Wisconsin, Ashurst Of Arizona, King Of Utah, and
Wheeler Of Montana are all respondent in white
linens and white shoes.
Senator Overman OF North Carolina probably re-
serves cutaway coats for winter. He now is wearing
a t~wo-piece dark gray suit with a sack coat.
But there are those who still refuse to cast off the
conventional garb. Tess Of Ohio, the two washes,
IBrookhart, Smoot and Dineen look the same. Vice
President Curtis stin wears formal morning dress.
REAL FREEDOM
But it is the senate pages who have the common
sense idea Of summer clothes.
The familiar blue serge coats have been discarded.

Have you thought about the high
cost OF being sick? We know about
the high cost Of living. We know
about the high cost Of dying. But
in many ways there are few things
more distressing than the high
cost Of illness.
IL is amazing what percentage
OF the population Is spending its
time in the sick bed. The hospitals
Of a great city. for instance Of New
York. are crowded all the time.
1t is not only physical sickness
with which we have to deal. More
hospital beds in the United States
are occupied by mental cases than
by all other sick combined.
/ have observed with great inter-
est that a memorial is being plan
ned to the late DR.. Thomas Will
liam Salmon. who was distinguish
ed in the field of mental hygiene.
AS part Of the campaign II is being
pointed out how prevalent the men,
tai diseases really are. Every clinic
and hospital devoted to the dis
eases Of the brain and nervous Sys-
tenn are crowded with sufferers.
OF course we hear Of more sick
ness in the cities. But where Is
there a household in the whole or
North America where there is not
sickness almost every week2 Ill
ness is the cause Of great economic
distress. IL saps the savings or
many a family.
A national committee on cost OF
medical care has been organized.
The New York City department OF
health has undertaken TO collect
data" from about 400 New York
families who can supply a month
by-month record of all illnesses
among their members" giving "all
expenses for physicians fees. pre-
scriptiCns. household remedies,

and the like"

port 10 realize what a burden sick

Of this research the facts will be

giene are, in the last anlysis, the

then much Of the economic distress

ACID IN PEAT SOILS
HARD ON CEMENT TILE.

Concrete drain tile used in peat
soils should be of high quality so as
to be resistant to acid, since peat
soils are comparatively high in acidity,
says D. G.. Miller, senior drainage en-
gineer of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the agricultural en-
cheering division of the University of
Minnesota.
Mr.. Miller has recently completed a
five-year test of so or more different
types of concrete, ranging in quality
from the poorest to the highest. Cy-
finders of these various samples have
been buried in peat soils and results
checked against similar cylinders
placed in mineral Soils The effects
of different surface treatments are
being tried as well as of several ad-
mixtures. So far, the tests indicate
that concrete of poor quality will not
stand up under the action of the
more acid peats, but several of the
better quality samples are showing
virtually no indications of deteriora-
ton.
These facts, as well as much practi-
cal experience. show that every pos
sible precaution should be taken to
insure that high quality pipe be used
Merely paying high price will not be
sufficient evidence of quality, but
farmers wishing to have tests made
may send samples to the division of
agricultural engineering at University
Farm, st. Paul. which will test them
without charge. providing transpor-
tation costs are paid by the senders.

KANGAROO COURT TRIES,
SENTENCES ROTARIANS.

The Rotary Club held its regular
meeting Wednesday evening at Burnt
side Lodge. A very fine dinner was
served by Rotarian Cook and his efh-
cient corps of helpers. The meeting
was in charge of the Fellowship Com
mittee, George Somero chairman, and
as special program, Kangaroo Court
had been established with DR.. ]. e.
Thompson as judge. One by one the
members of the Club we're hailed be-
fore the bar of injustice on charges
ranging from everything to nothing
and all were sentenced. Judge Thomp-
son mixed his sentences with humor
and very pleasing entertainment was
the result. 1t is not our intention to
enlarge on the charges brought against
the Rotarians but suffice it to say that
they were varied and created much
amusement. Ask some of the Rotes
what they were fined for.

FOR SAFETY'S SAKE
KEEP COWS OFF ROADS.

Look out for cattle on the highways,
is the warning in a State Highway
bulletin. The warning is timely be-
cause in the fall with crops cleared
from the fields, many farmers herd
their cattle on land near the road or
allow them to roam at will.
The warning is directed both at
stock owners and motorists. Motorists
are cautioned to drive carefully where
animals are on the highways, or the
roadSideS and stock owners are urged
to keep their cattle confined or guard
ed so they will not be struck by motor
vehicles. Cattle are usually slow in
getting out of the way, but sometimes
they turn unexpectedly into the path
of approaching machines. A collision
between an automobile and a COW. or
even a smaller animal, very often has
serious consequences both to the ami
NAL and the occupants of the machine.
AS to the legal side of the question,
the bulletin points out that farmers
have the right at all times to drive
animals on or across the highways
When animals lawfully on the high
ways are hit by motor vehicles, the
owner may sue the driver or owner
of the machine for damages. But if
animals wandering unlawfully on the
road are injured, the owner instead of
having a claim for damages, may be
sued for damages to the machine
and its occupants.
Strictly speaking, no one has a legal
right to permit live stock to Craze or
feed on the highway right Of way.
Road officials, however, usually do not
object to grazing along the roadsides
if the animals are attended so they
will not interfere with traffic.
Occasionally reports are received
that hogs damage roadsides and
bitches. The owner is subject to pun
iShment under the section of the
highway act which makes it a mis-
demeanor to dig holes In pubic roads,
remove dirt or obstruct bitches.

An Enjoyable Christmas

Christmas passed quietly and en- joyably in Wrangell. Religious ser vices were held in all the churches. Christmas dinners were very much in vogue, which meant the ming ling Of friends under most happy circumstances. At the Wrangell Hotel MT. and Mrs. Grant had as guests a number of their old pio- neer friends. The Wrangell General Hospital also played the part of host at a Christmas dinner. Several members of the school faculty were dinner guests at the home of Mir. and Mrs. L. B. Chisholm. Dr. Diven was a guest at the Mason home on Christmas day. To mention all the good dinners would be an impossi- ble undertaking.
