In these days of self-rising -four! The
modern housewife can have cookies Of

Grandma's idea was just tradi-
ton of her time, that no one should
leave her house without food or drink.
Grandma always expected the unex-
pected guest.
That was hospitality. That was
neighborliness. That was courtesy Of
the most genuine sort. And Grandma
handed down her fine old tradition to
daughter and son, and to her descend
ants to the third and fourth generation.
Grandma's idea is sacred legacy to
the modern housewife. and hospitality |
lives again throughout the land. /.
OF no small Importance in this
renaissance of graciousness are the
modern "bakin' makin's." With self
rising flour, Grandma's heir or heiress

Possible to Float for
Days in This Garment

A suit Of clothes in which it would
| be positive pleasure to be ship
wrecked has been perfected. Except
for the face the costume covers the
entire body like an overall. Fitted to
the head is hood like that of the
land thicker.
In the material of this hood and also
between the outer layer and the lin
ing of the rest of the costume spaces
are provided which can be inflated
with air or stuffed with light ma
terial like spongy paper fiber.
The outer layer of the garment is
waterproofed and arrangements are
provided to keep water from seeping
inside the suit at the wrists and neck.

y Ne large, thick hood floats highest
the water, thus making it impos-
sible for the weareF to "capsize" and
find his head downward, as has hap
pened with some previous life saving
garments.
If the wearer makes no effort at all
he will float automatically on his back,
as though lying in bed, and almost as
warmly.
1t is claimed, however, that one ad-
vantage Of the new garment is that
inactivity is not necessary. The wearer
can paddle himself about.

Cl}1ORE than three hundred years
11fl ago the first Thanksgiving
thanks were given on this
continent; and today, although the
form may have changed the spirit
of thankfulness remains. To adults,
the thanks are more for intangi-
bic than for material things, but
the children prefer to be thankful
for turkeys and pumpkin pies and
candy and raisins and all the good
things which go to make up a real
Thanksgiving dinner.
Jingles for Each
When the family gathers in the
home and when dinner is an
nounced, what child doesn't grow
round eyed and ecstatic and make
a lunge toward the dining table?
Of course there will be favors on
it. An Indian canoe in the center
of the table can be hanked by dolls
dressed in Puritan costume. From
the canoe centerpiece, have colored
ribbons running to the covers, and
when the eager diners pull them,
appropriate toys tied to them must
appear. The child who adores his
dog may receive a toy one, the
ardent golfer draw miniature golf
bag, the home economics teacher
a tiny potato masher. If some per-
son in the family has knack for
writing jingles, one could accom-
rany each favor, and could be read

all, the dinners the

among them two hit-and-run
crashes in which drivers sped away,

to put a stop to reckless driving.
At least a score of crashes, in
which some so or more persons
have been injured during the last
two weeks is the direct impetus for
the campaign, which includes in its
plans the formation of a womanS

Plans for giant motorcade in

The papers included orders by
Judge E. M. Valdetero of San Be

hearing, and the check presented
as evidence by the state.
"Of course, I already have en-
tered the order of the court in the

papers. but it is customary to file
them for possible future reference
in the office of the district clerk.

MERCEDES, July 23.-Two men.
discovered in the act Of carrying
away several sacks Of merchandise
from the Hartman dry goods stor6
here early Tuesday morning, es-
capped when they were fired upon
by Night Watchman Fred wilkins,
in the business district Of Mercedes.
The two men dropped three sacks
Of merchandise and took to their
heels. It Is thought one OF the
men was struck.
About 1:30 a. m an alarm was
turned in to the watchman. notify
ing him that lights were burning
in the store and apparently some~
one had entered.
On his way to the store, as he
was passing the Elks' club, wilkins
noticed the men carrying the loot.
He fired three shots, and the Ten
took to their heels, leaving the sacks
behind.
Herman Hartman, proprietor Oh
the store, said, after examining the
various entrances. that he could not
understand how the men entered or
left the store. None Of the locks
were molested, no windows were
broken, and the doors were just as
they had been when the store was
closed Monday night.
The only theories he could adj
vance for the mysterious entrances
and exit were that the robbers
either had a pass key or had hidden
in the store before it was closed
for business Monday.
