all new autumn and winter woolens.
Quite an outstanding feature, and one
of much charm, is the presence OF
white in Eastwood" worsteds, espe-
cially tweeds.
Wonderfully effective are the 1929
tweeds which are nubbed or fiecked,
or perhaps plaided, checked, chevrori
or herringbone-striped with white or
in some instances light yellow. To
heighten their charm, costumes and
wraps of these tweeds are in
triguingly furred with white or egg
shell caracul, If not with white fox.
or perhaps snowy badger or fitch.
AS one stands at the threshold of
autumn, not only does ones fancy but
ones need turn in the direction of
a suitable and practical wrap. To
this call the sports coat expressed
in terms Of tweed gives Immediate
answer. To prove 1t we are show.

Treasure Island Ever
Real to Youthful Mind

Two rough men they were, and as
the boy looked upon them one of them
appeared to be an old chap with a
peg leg and patch over one eye and
a wicked CLEAN in the other. They
came up from the lake shore to the
vacant house where the boy was at
work tending the lawn, and when he
ran from them they gave chase until
he hid in patch of vines. After
ward when he had told his story, po-
licemen and grownups came to search
the nearby territory and to question
the wide-eyed lad, until some scoffer
suggested that possibly he had seen
Long John Silver, whereat they
laughed and went their way.
He spoke more truthfully than he
knew, did the one who asked about
Long John, for certain it is that the
boy had seen the willy old pirate HIM
self. Another might only have OBJ
served a couple of ordinary individ-
uaIs bent on ordinary business, but
not this young watcher. The lawn
where he stood was Treasure island
and the house behind him was the
blockhouse. The brush about him was
peopled with rascals who carried long
cutlasses and flintlock pistols, and as
sure as you're born it was Old John
himself who came tapping up the
gravel way from the shore.
For Treasure island is not an I'M
charted patch of green on some ocean,
as kindly R. L. S. would be the first
to say were he here. 1t is quite
real spot in the heart of youth, which
is the abiding place Of strong deeds
and stronger men, put there by one
who carried some Of boyhood's fancies
over the borderland Of manhood. So
common patch may be Montana
trail with Sitting Bull skulking be-
hind an elm tree.
The searchers will not find Long
John. Not unless the boy lends them
his eyes, and that he cannot do-for
which they should not scott but be
sorry.-Seattle Times.

National Campaign for
Senic Beauty Now On

The Virginia state chamber of COM
merce recently called conference to
discuss cleaning up the scenery. The
garden clubs of Nashville, Tenn, are
proposing to plant rambler roses along
all the highway fences leading into
their city. They see Nashville few
years hence as "a bridal procession of
flowers" Seattle contemplates CO.
mile highway between Tacoma and
Everett. archaeological and fringed
with rhododendrons. To a young De-
troit school girl, Mrs. John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., gave a three-day trip to
Washington and the promise of
Presidential handshake as reward
for coming the slogan "This is your
country-beautify it," which Mrs.
Rockefeller expects to use as tren-
chant weapon in a national campaign
to Danish unsightly hot-dog stands,
billboards, placards and plasters from
the roadside. h4

enough with his car all busted !" And
Lillian jammed on her hat and ran out
to get particulars at closer range.
Slowly Bess reused herself to go
also. She had to wait fol the elevator
and when it came up out stepped an
officer leading a defiantly cursing
young man whom he ushered directly
into the jewelry Office, closing the
door in Bess' face as she would have
followed him.
Instinctively she remained there
and, amid buzz of voices, presently
heard the officer saying, "Yes, had
heard your broadcast not two minutes
before. Now, this bird didn't seem
near as mad about the accident as he
was anxious to get away-that made
me suspicious. So searched him and
-here're your gems"
Not wanting them to find her hang
ing around, Bess hurried off. Her head
was aching now and she longed to get
away, anywhere; SO, on an extrava-
CANT impulse, she hailed taxi.
"Where to, miss?" "Oh, Greenvale
cemetery. Peaceful there and no
crowds" After dismissing the cab Bess
strolled a long time amid the quiet
beauty, where both her parents lay.
Gradually it dawned on her that her
careless accident had been the direct
cause Of the recovery of the firms
stolen jewelry, and she even began to
see the ridiculous angle of the affair.
Bess really dreaded to give up her
position there, so prudence and pride
seesawed long time before she de-
cided what course to pursue. Then
she hurried back to town and to the
savings bank, where her very modest
account reposed, and withdrew an
amount covering the cost of the type
writer. This she inclosed with an ex-
tremely dignified letter stating her re-
greet and her resignation; registered it
and went home, knowing it would
reach Mr.. Argyle early Monday morn
ing. Pride had conquered.
Already, the late afternoon papers
were featuring the Amazing Jewelry
Theft and Recovery" Beside the por-
trait of the thief was her own, smil-
ing at her mockingly. Bess went home
in a sort Of miserable trance and took
her headache early to bed.
She moped down to breakfast Sum
day morning, not feeling much bet
ter. There by her plate was an ex-
quisite bouquet of roses-also a spe-
cial delivery letter. With her expect
ant family watching, she eagerly tore
this open, disclosing the firms check
for the sum they had offered in their
broadcast. Also a happy-looking
scrowl: "Dear Bess, you've got to for
give my ugly crouch. We always
knew you could handle typewriter!
Please do stay in tonight. l want to
tell you so. FRED"

= Building
Right Kind of Building
Affects Value of Land

The wrong Kind Of buildings are
sometimes found on city land in much
the same way that the wrong kind Of
hats are found on .women's heads,
says the National Association of Real
Estate Boards. When woman wears
an unbecoming hat, 1t means that she
has not looked around sufficiently for
the right hat and her appearance con.
sequently suffers. When the wrong
building is erected on piece of land,
1t means that its owner has not looked
around sufficiently for the right build
ing, and the value of the land suffers.
Owners Of land cannot afford to
toss a coin to decide whether to build
an apartment house or an Office build.
ing on a given site, because the proper
use Of the land can make or break its
value, says the association.
There is certain type of structure
suitable for every piece of urban real
estate, and property owners should
seek advice on this subject before
breaking ground, because the highest
and best use of the land is a serious
matter and involves look into the
future.
1t is not enough to observe all of
the advanced rules in selecting a To-
cation unless, after its selection, the
land is developed to the best advan-
tage, because maximum values can
not be brought about for urban real
estate until the proper buildings are
placed on it.

Landslide ON a Town

Any one who has ever visited Que
bee cannot help recalling that cliff
separates the upper and lower towns.
Houses of the lower town extend up
to the cliff base, while on the cliff
crest rest the Notifications. In 1900
a mass of rock slipped from the cliff
face beneath the citadel and crashed
over the houses beneath 1t. The re.
suit was very disastrous, for at that
time the greater and most important
part of the town was situated under
the frowning cliff. Many persons
were killed.

OLD DOCTORS IDEA
IS BIG HELP TO
ELDERLY PEOPLE

Tn 1885, DR.. Caldwell made a dis
covery for which elderly people the
world over praise him today!
Years of practice CONVINCED him
that many people were endangering
their health by a careless choice of
1axatives. So he began a search
for harmless prescription which
would be thoroughly effective, yet
would neither grippe nor form any
habit. At last he found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
he found people bilious, headachy.
out of sorts, weak or feverish:
with coated tongue, bad breath, no
appetite or energy. 1t relieved the
most obstinate cases, and yet was
gentle with women, children and
elderly people.
Today, this same famous, effec-
tive prescription, known as DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin, is the
worlds most popular laxative. It
may be obtained from any drugstore

the other.
Making Allowances.

MdkluE ALLOWANCES
Finally the hearings are over, the
committee discusses and digests the
information it has gathered, usually
in executive session and votes the APP
preparations or denies them. Bills are
then drawn setting forth the allow
ances in detail. These appropriation
bills are usually five in number-one
providing funds for the educational
institutions of the state which carries
fully one-half of the money appro-
priated by the state, one for the
eighteen institutions under the charge
of the Board of Control, one for the
support of state departments of gov
eminent, one for various state ectivi-
ties (parkS and fish hatcherieS, for IL
stance) and one for claims against
the state.
AS each bill is completed 1t is fe-
ported to the house with the recon-
mendation that it "do pass. Tt is
printed and lies on the desk of the
members for some days. The chair
man of the committee then gives no
tice that the bill will be considered
at day and hour certain. When that
time arrives the chairman explains
the bill in detail to the house. Oc-
casionally an amendment Is offered
priation that the committee has
denied, and usually the amendment
fails for the committee is seldom over
ruled by the house. When questions
are exhausted and debate is done the
bill is put on its final passage, the
clerk calls the roll and the ayes and
nays of the members are recorded.
Conference.
Appropriation bills as drafted by
the finance committee of the senate
and the appropriations committee of
the house and as approved by the re-
spective chambers are never identical.
This necessitates the appointment of
conference committee" on each
bill Conference committees on ap-
preparation bills are always of five
members from each chamber, ap-
pointed by the presiding officer of the
chamber, but chosen as a matter of
fact from the membership of the fin
ance and appropriations committees
by the respective chairman who al
ways take good care to include them
selves as members of the conference
committee.
Some natural jealousy exists be
tween the senate and the house and
this frequently finds reflection in the
struggles of the conferees to agree.
When politics steps in, as was the
case in the 1925 and 1927 sessions,
conference committee struggles are
protracted lasting in the cases named,
all thru the night and far into the
morning light. If the good sense Of
the conferees does not finally force
a compromise, the specter of an extra
session always does, for unless the ap-
preparations are voted a special ses-
sion of the legislature must necessarily
be invoked in order to carry on the
government Agreement reached, the
amended bills are rereported to the
senate and house, are repassed and
become the law of state spending for
the ensuing two years.
Owing to the pre-digest of appro-
priations by the state budget board,
functioning completely for the first
time this year, the work of making
appropriations has been somewhat
simplified and it is hoped that all ap-
preparation bills will be agreed upon
by the Legislature of 1929 in advance
of the final day of adjournment.
