The United States AmbasSa-

arrive in Washington early in

Mrs. Castle was appointed
special ambassador for the
duration of the London con-

resume on his return. In the
past, Mr.. Castle has had super

it is rumored that in the future
he is to have charge of Far

which his post in Japan has
fitted him for.

LusterlesS
Hosiery Is
Popular
Stockings Of This Character
Should Wear a Long
Time
By WILMA LA VILE

IuCIC , OAAASA S~@~
rage in fashionable circles foc
stockings with no luster, stock
ings that are inside-out, or that,
are woven in q new waE SO
that they have that lusterless
look of fine, sheer well-washed
hose, even when they are new.
The smartest of these hose
are the new Schlapareln
weaves. which recommend them
selves for other good points as
well. They are designed ana
sponsored by the famous Paris
coutiuer for whom they are
named. She is known mainly
for her successful sports clotheS'
and she first favored these
stockings because they were SO
well suited for wear with sports
attire.
There are several textures In
Schiaparelli stockings, imltat-
ing the surface of popular fab
RIGS, and designed to wear with
those fabrics, thus creating less
contrast in hose and frock. For
instance there are tweed fin
ished hose, which really resem-
BILE tweedS. and are smart when
worn with tweedS. Then there
are hose woven to look like
flat crepe, and when worn with
flat crepe. they gave the effect
of the same sheer finished hose
to wear with anything, decld-
edly attractive. and particularly
lusterleSS, otherwise very much
like the hose we are accustomed
to.
The practical side Of these
hose Is that they are long
wearing, or should be. We have
our first pair, so we can't
testify personally. Ordinary
stockings are made of silk that
is twisted about four times to
the inch. while the threads
for these stockings are twisted
a hundred or more times. The
result is more elasticity, more
hardness and durability, though
the finished effect is just as
soft. When you catch them on
a snag, they give further, and
often do not tear or run at
all, because of their greater
StretchineSs. To prove their
further practically. they are
not expensive-the same price
as other good hose.
Schiaparelli hose come in
the same good colors that are
smart in other hose, dark beige
and skin tones for general
wear. In addition. there are
pastels to match certain frocks,
but they must be chosen espe-
cially for the frock they're to
be worn with. and haven't the
fashion acceptance that the
dark skin tones have.
A great many women in
Palm Beach wore pastels in
the evening in tones that
matched their gowns. so sheer
that they merely tinted the legs
the color of the gown. The
vogue hasn't reached here to
any great extent yet. though
if you care to try it. those
same pastels are available in
the same Washington shops
that sell the other new Schia-
parelh hose.
Miss La Vile will gladly tell
you where you may find these
new hose, If you will write,

Leipsic, Aug. 12.-The family of
Recorder of Deeds. John w. Tar
burton, of Leipsic, had a scare a
few days ago over the absence of
a grandchild who is visiting them
with its parents during the sum-
mer. The children were at a farm
near Leipsic where wheat thresh-
ing was in progress and the child
dren had been playing around the
straw stack. One of the children
was missed and when a search was
made it was suggested that possi-
bly, it was caught under the straw
stack as part of the stack had
slid to the ground. Fearing the
child was buried under the straw,
workmen began throwing the
stack back hoping to find the child
With the entire stack thrown over,
and no trace of the child, it was
feared that it had drifted to a
ditch nearby and fallen in. This
was searched and no trace of the
child found. Finally it was sug-
gested that an automobile be Sc
cured and drive around the farm
be made to see if the child could
be found. On going to the garage
where the automobile was, a voice
piped out, II found a good place
to hide, didn't II" The child hav-
ing gone to the garage to hide
from the other children it was
playing with.

Big Men Not Wanted

It may sound cynical, but it is fact that the really capable men of the country are becom- ing extremely shy of politics and political jobs. Whenever man who has made success in life is proposed as a candi- date for either election or ap- pointment, he is immediately bounced upon by the dema- gogues and bounded without mercy.
 The situation was sized up some time ago by Will Rogers who with his characteristic keen insight said of president ial appointments
 Big men won't take them, for they won't take a chance on a Senate insult. If he has ever earned more than a Sena- tor, he is in league with big business. If he ever drove a Standard Oil truck or was book-keeper in a Morgan bank he is nleague with monopolies. If he is rich he is in league with the devil. But if he has never done anything and has been financial failure at that, he will pass the Senate as a broth er."
 While these are the words of a humorist, they are literally true. The United States Senate has degenerated into a body of mediocre men, who delight in attacking their more able fel- low-citizens who happen to be proposed for high appointive office. Thus demagoguery has supplanted democracy in the United States Senate.

able to do things. Many per sons who have at their conn mand a considerable assort- ment of information are unable to put it to very practical use.
 This was neatly illustrated in sort of confession" article by a teacher in a recent period ical. She said:
 q can solve quadratic equa- ton, but I cannot keep my bank account straight.
 T can name the Kings of England since the War of the Roses, but 1 do not know the qualifications of the candidates in the coming election.
 q know the economic theo- ries of Malthus and Adam Smith, but cannot live within my income.
 T can explain the principles of hydraulics, but I cannot fix leak in the kitchen faucet.
 q have studied the psychol. ogy of James and Tichener, but I cannot control my own temper.
 'I can conjugate Latin verbs, but l cannot write legibly."
 While this picture may be somewhat overdrawn, it serves to illustrate the futility of much that passes for education, when its acquisition is not accomp- anied by training which leads to it's useful employment in everyday life.
