Your wardrobe won't be complete
this Summer without at least one of
the new very wide-brimmed hats.
There are rough beach hats with brims
that are satisfactory as a beach
umbrella in keeping the sun out of
the eyes. They are wide, natural,
toned straw hats that suggest the old
time farmers hat that you may add
to your country club equipment. OF
course, you couldn't wear one on the
links or tennis court, but it is COM
fort to have a hat of that sort handy
to wear in the country on bright Sum-
mer days In July and August
Then there are the more dressy wide
brimmed hats to wear with dainty aft
ernoon frocks. You may choose one
OF Tuscan straw in natural tone or
black Some of the newest of these
Tuscans are finished with a band of
braided ribbons in three tones. It Is
not at all difficult to make the band
yourself, choosing ribbon in three tones
to harmonic with your dress, or if
you wear figured print, in three tones
that predominant in the print
The amount of ribbon needed de-
ponds, to some extent, on the quality
Of the ribbon, since soft, thin ribbon
will make thinner braid that will
need less ribbon than a fairly sub
stantial ribbon. Choose inch-wide rib

two yards of each color. Fasten the
three ribbons together at one end and

their makeup themselves. 1t requires
special skill When the Kleg lights
were used it vas very difficult. The
girls looked a pale-feen-lavender. Now
under the arc lights. it IS easier. The
new makeup is a sort of Indian color
It looks startling against red or blond
hair. Not much lip rouge is used. But
the eyes are carefully done. 1t is queer
to see these new-made Indians walking
about the studio.
If any girl has screen test without
a careful makeup, she can be sure that
she has no chance.
In the old days of the Klieg lights
there was a pretty girl who went to
Hollywood. She seemed to have every
chance in the world to become an
actress. When she arrived for her
screen test. somebody put on only half
her makeup and then went away. She
sat in a cubbyhole for an hour, getting
more and more nervous. She tried
desperately to get hold of the makeup
woman. She couldn't find her. She
had nothing with which to take the
makeup off. And after awhile she be-
gan to get hyst3rical. When at last the
woman came back and finished the job,
the poor girls eyes were so swollen from
weeping that the test was a completes
failure
Many of the makeup people in the
studios ere men. There is usually a
special department devoted to this work,
and the head of this is nearly always
man, although many of the opera
tives are women. This head of depart
ment makes up all the most important
players. Occasionally he cuts or waves
the hair of an important actress.
Getting these jobs seems to be largely
a matter of chance. Dorothy Peterson,
whom you may have seen on the stage
in 'Dracula," or Subway Express" had
a bright chambermaid at her hotel She

at Mrs. Speedfoot. No, sir, it wasn't at
MRS. Spcedfoot 1t was at Speedfoot,
by now a considerable distance from
the hidden twins. He was approaching
a small patch of sagebrush.
He turned to meet her, with snarl
and display of sharp teeth, but this
time she didn't stop. She struck at
him with her sharp hoofs, and he
lodged barely in time to escape them.
In a flash she had turned to plunge at
him again. She was the picture of a
fighting fury. No longer did Speedfoot
have any doubt as to where those babies
were. Nor did Mrs. Speedfoot have any
doubt. She had heard that snort of
rage and looked up to see that attack
on Speedfoot. 1t could mean but one
thing. that the babies were over there.
With a yelp Mrs. Speedfoot leaped
forward and sped to join in that battle.
There was now no more doubt in her
mind as to where those babies were
than there was in the mind of Speed
foot. Mrs. F.eetfoot had driven Speed
foot away from that little patch of
brush. He saw Mrs. Speedfoot coming
and gradually backed still farther. He
was trying to draw Mrs. Fleetfoot away
from that brush. Mrs. Speedfoot saw
and understood. She circled and made
straight for that brush. Like a flash
Mrs F1eetfoot whirled and charged at
her, driving her back.
So, charging first one and then the
other, Mrs. Fleetfoot fought. striking
at them with her front feet, avoiding
their leaps at her throat, and man
aging to keep either from getting behind
her And safe where they were hidden.
Kid Antelope and his twin sister lay
motionless, wondering what it was all
about.

EARTHWORMS-Lumbricida.

NE of the greatest blowers known
to mankind is this earthworm.
Without the kindly assistance
~ Of this creeping friend our soil
would become SO tightly packed
that the decaying vegetable matter
would remain on the top of it. Through
the efforts of this worm a rich soil for
our vegetables, flowers and plants is
possible
Tons and tons Of earth are moved by
these workers every year. They leave
their burrows open, and small pebbles
roll into them; they drag leaves and
other vegetable matter into their bur-
rows, and the soil, mixing with decay
ing matter, becomes enriched.
In return for this, man takes the
earthworm On fishing trip. These
worms are also known as bait, angle
worm. rainworm and fishworm. Like
the chicken they are minus teeth. but
they are supplied with gizzard for
grinding up their food.
The earthworm has a suction-l like
mouth which grasps the food and FOLDS
it while the juices are extracted from
it. Raw or cooked meat is greatly en-
joyed, and like the Eskimo. it is very
fond of fatty substance. Sweets are a
never-failing temptation She has a
sort of tongue which she sticks out
and can push out of her way a pebble
that weighs two ounces. She draws

Disbursement.

Among the many feelings which
human beings experience keenly, dis
couragement ranks next to fear. Per-
haps, after ALL 1t Is merely one OF the
many forms of fear.
The best way to understand this
feeling of worthlessness Is to start with
the ego, that intimate sense OF self,
in terms of which one may describe
all personalities.
When the sense of self is insulted,
blocked, or minimized, the tired feeling
of encouragement asserts itself. When
one is discouraged one feels that ones
whole life has amounted to nothing.
For ones sense of self had its begin
ming in the infant period OF life.
When you are discouraged you are
feeling what you might see If It were
possible to get a panorama OF your
defeats.
When discouraged common sense
takes its flight, and its place is quickly
occupied by anxiety, chagrin, hatred
and, finally. stupor.
1t is often said that when one is

leaves into her burrow and moistens
them, making a sort of mild home
brew. Cherry elm, lime and maple
leaves will do, and cabbage, onion,
horseradish or celery. can be used for
the same concoction.
Moving Is accomplished by means of
contraction and expansion. Forming a
magnifying glass, you will see very
short, stiff hairs placed along the sides
OF the body. They can move very
rapidly if frightened. They are not
at all disturbed by a red light, but a
blue one seems to excite them. They
are sensitive to strong or Earring
breeze.
A German zoologist found they were
capable of making noise like that of
running water. Prove this for yourself
Place several in can and hide them in
dark place. When they are used to
the lar. steal up and listen to them.
Any one with good hearing will detect
the noise.
The eggs are carried on the first half
of the body by the parent. close to the
flesh-colored, swollen band. The eggs
are within ring of gelatinous fluid that
quickly hardens. 1t is slipped over the
head of the earthworm and soon takes
on the shape of capsule, about the
size of a grain Of wheat. Each capsule
has several eggs in it, and there is
enough albumen to supply the little
earthworm with food. When the babies
appear. they are full grown and ready
to make their own burrow about IL
inches in the ground.
Raising angleworms for sale has be-
come a profitable business. Forty-five
species of birds hunt them, and poultry
grows fat upon them. Centipedes follow
them into their burrows.
Golfers would appreciate it very much
if these worms would keep away from
the links and remain where the soil is
fertile, wax fat for angling purposes and
build their burrows elsewhere.
