Outdoors. I know. mine do. and
from the requests OF many Of our

Lights in finding something new.
The Jodhpurs proved such a SEN
kation for skiing and sports-wear
this Winter. that Madame's tailor
conceived the idea Of adapting them
to a riding costume. The result is
simply stunning.
One OF the loveliest OF the seasons
debs came in this morning and asked
Madame hopefully If she didn't have
something nice in a riding habit
Madame looked at her and decided
that she was exactly the figure to
wear the new habit. So she sent
for Joseph, the tailor, and told him
That Miss Ellison wanted a habit.
OF course. he was delighted. so he

If she wouldn't care to try it on.

fully. OF course it needed a few
alterations, but that's nothing.
She went into the fitting room and

and a soft blue felt riding hat.
Positively. she looked marvellous.

rheumatism is a disease of this sort. 1t
is all but impossible to make the average man
believe he is mistaken about It. He was taught
in his youth that going without a warm coat,
getting the feet wet, or sitting in a draught,
would cause rheumatism. He hates to be dis
turbed in his conviction.
Our grandparents thought every baby should
cut its teeth on a rind Of pork. They looked
upon the tomato, or Glove apple" as they
called it, as a dangerous fruit-eating it, they
believed, would cause cancer. Sleeping in the
moonlight, these ancestors Of ours were sure,
would bring on insanity.
But 1.-THE world do move" We must revise

EDUCATION BY
USE OF TALKIE
IS AIM OF FOX
Film Producer Proposes to
Shorten Schooling of
Children.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-William
Fox, motion picture producer, will
devote the next twenty-five years
of his life to giving American chill
dren more time in the sunshine"
He proposes to accomplish that by
spending one-fourth of his gigantic
fortune to introducing talking pic
lures as means of education. Fox,
on his fiftieth birthday Sunday, ex-
pressed the opinion that the talk
les" could teach children in three
hours what now requires six hours
to learn. He also believes 1t would
permit the most expert educators
to address the entire audience of
American school children.
For instance" Fox said, "if DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
university took geography for his
subject, it would be possible for every
child to learn the same subject from
the same man at the same time"
He also proposed to use the talk
les to aid religion by having the
worlds most prominent religious
leaders record sermons for use all
over the country. One feature of
the educational program would be
the photographing and sound re-
cording of famous surgeons during
an operation so medical students
might study their methods.
