SERVICEMAN WANTS BENEFITS

A verdict establishing that George
Reed, Cambria is totally and perma-
nently disabled was returned last
Thursday night, by a jury in federal
court at Mankato.
His complaint alleged that while
serving overseas he developed what
later resulted in a goitre and since
then has not been able to do heavy
work. AS soldier he maintained
$4,000 war risk insurance.
Reed entered service on September
20, 1917, and was sent to Camp
Dodge, Ia, later being transferred to
Camp Cody, N. NJ, and then being
sent to France with the 123rd. He
participated in the st. Mihiel often
sive and later occupied Lintgen, Lux
emberg, Germany, with the army of
occupation. He was discharged June
8, 1918.-Brown County Journal.

Old Mother Nature.
For a while after his experience with
Jimmy Skunk, when Jimmy had taught
him very great respect, Flip was very
subdued little dog. He was not nearly
as inuuisitive as he had been. When
he had first been allowed back to the
house he had worn somewhat shamed
look. Bowser the Hound would look at
him and grin slyly, and Flip knew just
what that grin meant. But Flip had
nothing to say He remembered that
Bowser had warned him to keep away
from Jimmy Skunk, and had he needed
Bowser's warning, nothing like this
would have happened.
Always as he went about Flip had
an eye open for Jimmy Skunk. He had
a feeling that sooner or later he and
Jimmy would meet again. Il want to
see him first" Flip would say to him
self. Eyes. sir. want to see him first.
It would be dreadful to run into him
suddenly. He might not understand
that I have no intention of hurting
him."
But the days passed with no sign OF
Jimmy Skunk, and gradually Flip ceased
to watch for him. A little dogs memory
is not too long and when you happen
to be little dog in new and strange
place there are so many things to see
and so many things to learn that un-
pleasant memories are soon crowded
out. It was just so with Flip. He had
become his old lively self, interested in
in everything.
And then one day as he raced around
a corner of the barn he came face to
face with Jimmy Skunk. In fact, he
almost bumped into him. It was as
much of surprise to Jimmy as it was
to Flip. Flip put the brakes on in a
hurry. That is to say, he did his best
to stop. Jimmy Skunk never hurries. 1t

is never necessary for him to put. the
brakes on. But he did stop. And then
that big tail of his began to lift.
Fiip's eyes looked as If they would
jump out of his head. He turned like
flash. If his stub of tail had only
been a long tail it would have been
between his legs. His eyes were rolled
back as he shot away and around the
corner of that barn again. He was a
picture Of fright.
Now 1t happened that Bowser the
Hound was sedately following Flip, al
though Flip didn't know it. So when
Flip whirled around the corner of the
barn he ran right into Bowser. In fact,
he hit BowSer so hard that he knocked
him over. Bowser really didn't know
what 1t was all about. He snarled. Flip,
too scared to know who II was he had
run into. ki-yied in sheer fright, Scram-
bled to his feet and headed for Farmer
Browns house.
Bowser got to his feet. "well," said
he. II wonder what has happened to
Flip. He acts as II he had lost his
wits from fright"
Just then Bowser saw a head appea.
around the corner of the barn. Ther,
Bowser grinned. That head was the
head of Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy looked
merely mildly interested. Bowser took
few steps to one side. Good morn.

 SUNDAY, 39 TO g
Come from Behind at Quarter to Win from
 Haines by Big Margin

After a slow first quarter in which Haines High School led to 6, Juneau High School Sunday af- ternoon rallied and piled up a 39 to 9 score, holding the visitors to lone point for the final three pc riods. Haines' only score in the last three periods was made on a free throw by A. Johnson.
 The visitors started fast and de- spite the fact that Jayhfs first string was being used, piled up eight points in the first eight minutes of play. Juneau scored six in that time.
 In the second quarter the Hilltop pers settled down and held Haines scoreless while they carried their own score of 20, the half ending with Jayhi leading 20 to 8.
 Coach Durham shifted his lineup in the last half, using almost an entirely new team Elmer Lindstrom substituting for Hurley at forward, showed up nicely and made three nice shots for counters. Others

 Few people in the giddy princi- pality know the true identities of, these typical oldtimers among the devotees of the casino; yet virtu- ally everybody knows their stories.
 "The Woman in Black is an aus tere old woman. Dressed in the fashion of a gone generation, she sits from ten in the morning until nine at night in the Cafe de Paris, staring across the square at the white casino.
 She scarcely moves during the day. Black coffee for breakfast, bread and sugared water for lunch, sugared water and spaghetti for dinner is her routine Walters serve her automatically. Old-timers bow low as they pass her table.
 Thirty years ago this mysterious Irishwoman was the favorite of a king. When the Jason was broken, she was worth fortune. Since then three fortunes have trickled onto the green cloth of the gaming tables. Today her frugal meals are paid for by the sons of old walters to whom she often gave q $500 tip.

ADVICE FOR

YOUTH

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been keeping up on
your column and enjoy it very
much. viii you please answer
this question-though I know
it is queer: Which do men pre-
fer, fat women or thin? !
thank you.
A. E. L.
Your question Is too general,
A. e. L., to be answered accu.
rately. Mans preference for
slenderness or stoutness in
woman is a matter Of fashion
and taste. But the instinct of
the average man is to wish for
his life-mate, a woman who is
wholesome and healthy. For
that reason the average man,
without analyzing the reason
for his preference likes a won-
an who is in good proportion
neither very fat nor skinny.
This medium is the healthy
type.

THE BEAUTY.
BOX
BY Helen FOllett-

No woman should select a
dress fabric without draping
around her shoulders, standing
before a strong mirror and not
ing the effect. Drab, cold colors
ring out defects of complexion
and figure. Some women have
a fear of warm, gay tints. The
right ones make a woman de-
corative. AS woman is always
more or less of a spectacle-a
one-woman pageant-the selec-
tion Of dress material should be
made on occasion.
If there Is a tendency to walk
with toes pointed outward, the
chances are that there is a
structural defect Of some kind,
like a weakened arch, in which
case arch supporters should be
fitted by a specialist. The
high heel is weakening to bones,
tendons and muscles. AS long
as women wear spiked heels
they have no business shouting
about dress freedom. High
heels are surviving the last
dress bondage and in time will
disappear.
Women who are cursed with
the spherical shape and who
overtax the scales should never
select dress material that is
stiff, standoutiSh or bouffant.
Like taffetaS, for instance. The
heavyweights look better in
soft. clinging fabrics, like thin
satins and crepe georgette.
