'COLORS FOR
OUTDOORS
ARE VARIED
Tones May Be
Used By the Very
Young, Even for
Winter.
EUR wraps are usually not

80 folk Though fhie wear

EUR wraps are usually not
practical for very little
folk, though this year
there are charming little coats
of lapin that may tempt you
Fur coats are not practical
for everyday wear and to
wear a fur coat at one time
of day and a cloth coat at an
other is a rather bad plan.
There is much to be said in
favor of leather for coats and
leggings for small children.
Leather IS not heavy and il
does not itself give much
warmth Its role is to keep
out wind and to give TO the
clothing worn beneath a
chance to produce the great
est possible warmth. A good
quality leather coat with a
number of sweaters of varying
weights-to wear on different
days-provides a child with
outdoor apparel that is suit
able for any weather condi-
tons
Bear in mind that leather
is not actually rainproof-
though it keeps out dampnesS
There should be a waterproof
also in the wardrobe of the
young child who braves all
weatherS in his outings.
The color Of outdoor
clothes for young children
should and usually does de-
pend upon the role they are
to fill. Play-time and every
day clothes for the toddlers
should be Of some substantial
color.
There are browns that are be-
coming 10 both blue-eyed and
hrown-eyed children. and that are
preferred 20 any OF the blue shades
because Of the warmer quality Of
their tone. This season there are
several shades between brown and
red-rust colors not unlike the old
time henna-that are a good selec-
ton IL they prove becoming.

Moonshiners Killed By
Gas From Own Still

Garfield, N. Herman Sch
wartz, AZ, a plumber, knew how
to put pipes together. Samuel
Sherman, so, a painter, had a
rudimentary knowledge of certain
chemicals. They pooled their
knowledge an it cost them their
lives.
Their wives drove up in a taxi
cab and asked a corner patrolman
if he had seen them around a gar
age they used. The patrolman
found Sherman dead in the rear
of the garage.
He called two other officers who
broke into the garage, discovered
a secret panel opening a trap door
to a cellar, and were overcome by
a mysterious gas with a vague
odor.
Additional police tore out the
flooring of the garage, revived the
two unconscious officers, ar
found Schwartz dead beside a 80
gallon still and a steam boiler.
The officers said they believed
both Schwartz and Sherman had
died from fumes exuded by chemi-
Gals used in reviving dead mash.

MY CHILDHOOD HOME
(BY H. E. PRALL)

- -" -" iNAi(
I've wandered far across the toihng world,
Where storm-clouds do their worst I've dared to roam;
But whether flowers bloomed or tempests whirled,
My heart could not forget my childhood home.
I see the windmill with it's lofty tower,
And that same squeak it had in days of yore,
Again l linger in that shady bower
The vine-clad arbor by the kitchen door.
l see the row of implements we used,
In those far days my heart would fan recall,
1t almost seems that 1 become enthused-
I'd like to try them over, one and all.
I see that bane of youth-the walking pillow,
And mem'ry takes me back to burrows, long,
The double-diamond harrow claims me now,
| seem to hear the droning mowers song.
l see the drill, that implement Of faith,
The cultivator moved by powers of hope,
Through endless days I've followed in it's wake,
With blistered heels and almost in a lope.
L see the wagon in the wagon-shed,
But where the family carriage used to lodge
A new car stands upon its rubber tread
They've changed the place to use for a garage.
1 hear the cows come lowing up the lane,
AS in the days when 1 was but a lad,
The brindle ones, and speckled ones, ne,er again
Will know that line-it almost makes me sad.
No, they've been gone from there these many moons.
Some pretty little Jerseys fill their place
And they're as like as many little coons-
I'd kind o hoped to see "od Motleface
The horses meet me at the pasture gate,
Unkempt are they-it's plain they're getting old,
And l I'M moved to wonder at their fate
We used to prize them as We would fine gold.
But now 1 see their doom is surely sealed,
Goodbye, old friends, you're scarcely worth your feed"
A tractor "chugs" it's way across the field,
What need is there for any gallant steed?
1 like to see great progress DER the land,
New methods please me greatly as 1 roam,
But there's a thing that 1 can hardly stand
To see those changes in my childhood home.
