concentrations for the retention OF
necessary Indian boarding schools
in Oklahoma, increased hospital
facilities and improved methods Of
administering Indian affairs will be
included in the report Of the senate
committee on Indian affairs now
being prepared.
The report will conclude invest-
cations extending over three years.
1t is in process Of preparation by
Chairman Lynn j. Frazier, North
Dakota Progressive, assisted by Sem
ator Elmer Thomas Dem, Okla0.
other members of the committee
are expected here before the session
opens.
Opposition to the closing Of In
dian boarding schools in Oklahoma
has been led by Thomas and 1T is
believed the committee will support
his contention that such institu-
lions be maintained for the benefit
of orphans, retarded and destitute
Indian children.
THE policy of the Indian bureau
to force or induce Indian children
to attend white schools" SAID
Thomas, has it's benefits in COM
munities in which white schools are
conveniently located and in which
the well-to-do Indians reside, who
can give their children many adj
vantages enjoyed by the children
of the white population.
However, state institutions will
not accept Indian orphans, while
Indian children whose education has
been retarded or who lack even ade-
quate clothing, are not welcomed in
white schools and still must be pro-
vided for separately.
Our report will indorse a thor
ough hospital program for Indians
in all parts Of the country, as well
as more efficient handling of the
revenues accruing to the Indian
from oil leases, land rentals, etc,

The crown Of the second velvet
model sketched comes straight
from the court Of Henry VII

at least. Shallow-oh, quite

on a brim that's not too straight
to dip q little at the right.

model is again from Mado-

looked as truly charming?
Henry's Crown Again
II you really haven't quite
succumbed to that Renaissance
influence. Suzanne Ta1bot's hat
will make you-the one illus
trated third from the left. It's
done in felt, just to show that
royal lines don't depend entirely
on the materials worn by roy
atty. This is a grand example
Of how formal felt can look.

does part Of it-binding the

ing little bow in back. In

other costume color. you know
admiring glances will follow the
crown the famous Henry liked.
DiagOnaIly Yelled
There's satin trim again to
fornalize the felt in the right
hand illustration-but that's
not all. The thing that's so
completely ravishing about it is
the veil! Happy are we to see
the day that fashion brings
them back! Imported, this one
is so sheer it's scarcely visible.
But that delicate edging all
around distinctly shows the way

little hat beneath dips fastidi-
ously to the right, and its snug
ly fitting brim creeps far up on
the crown, where the edge is
bound with satin ribbon. Under
meath the brim on the left, a
dropped band Of matching satin
holds the hair securely.
Hats like these aren't picked
up for a song: yet, it's really
marvellous that they can be
made with such intricate detail
to cost so little. Actually, any
one we've sketched-faShion's
very latest in hats for after

about $12.5O.

ly new product used for the pre-
vention of rickets in infants. It
is like cod liver oil and is SINH
lar to cod liver oil in its action
on rickets in that it contains
vitanin D.
Vitamin . is a substance that
dissolves in fat-that- is why 1t
is called fat soluble. Cod liver
oil is, of course, fat. Vitam1n
D is stored in the body in the
liver. Fishes, among the ami
mails, are particularly conspicu-
Gus in storing vitamin D in their
livers. That is why the liver Of
the cod is used for this product.
It is found elsewhere in nature,
but nowhere else so abundantly.
Oil of Yeast
The substance used as a basis
for the manufacture Of vioSteroI
is ergosterol, which Is an oil OBJ
tanned from yeast. This is ex-
posed to ultra violet light, which
irradiation forms vitamin D IN
the ergosterol. This discovery
that vitamin D could be pro-
duced by ultra violet light was
announced in 1924, the work OF
Prof. Harry Steenback OF the
University of Wisconsin. The
manufacture of the product,
which is called viosterol, is con-
trolled by a committee. OF the
alumni of Wisconsin University
so that proper supervision OF
the manufactured product can
be exercised. Five American

This is not surprising, because

Whether viosterol will replace
cod liver oil as a rickets pre-
ventative or curative is not en-
tirely settled. 1t is tasteless
and smaller quantities can be
given than cod liver oil. Re
ports from clinics show that, in
spite of frequent warnings and
instructions, less than half the
mothers were giving their babies
the full three-teaspoonful dose a
day of cod liver oil. The dose
Of vioSterol can be as low as
8 to 10 drops a day. In prema-

to cod liver oil. because the lat

We've had an argument. Some
one said that the little hats all
look alike this season. We
think that someone just for
got-or else didn't know-that
Empire periods are not the only
ones important these days to
fashion. Influences affecting
hat styles are just as varied as
they can be, and they make
every hat an individual tyr-
much more so this season than
they've ever been before.
TO prove that point we're so
sure about, we went shopping.
And the hats we've illustrated
up above-just some Of those
we saw-are a more convincing
argument than any we could
give.

Peter kissed me and went

I was at the employment

Molly had already arrived.
There were seven of us. A
bald little man came in with
cards in his hand. Three other
men followed him in and
lounged against the desk look
ing us over as though we
were something for sale on a
counter.
Looking Them Over
We were told to remove hats
and coats, and stood up as our
names were called from the
slips.
Two of the girls had already
worked in stores. One Of the
men questioned them about
linens and took them out.
Tell him we want to work
together" Molly whispered to
me.
"They don't like to have
chums work together; too much
gabbing," / whispered back. MY
sister Cora had told me that.
A woman came in then and,
after looking over the slips, took
two more of the girls. That
left three of us. The two men
began arguing and whispering.

work at that counter. But I
didn't care much, was too
