from narrow frills Of lace that follow
the rounded outline Of the dress. On
a.V or U opening the vestee may con-
sist of a piece OF lace drawn straight
across. Sometimes It Is made Of the
same sort of lace or lingerie as the ac-
cessory collar Of the dress, possibly with
CUTS to match.
Vestees often are made in surplice ar
rangement--this is, crossed over at the
front--and this sort is easy to adjust.
In your own wardrobe for the coming
Autumn you will doubtless have a num-
Der fof dresses that call for some such
vestees, and you should be prepared by
having two or three for each dress, so
thak you may always be ready to change.
n your collection Of 1aces you will
doubtless find small pieces that may be
used admirably for this sort of thing.
Narrow lace, if you have enough of it,
may BE- used for the frilled vestee. A
fairly wide piece may be used straight
across and a somewhat narrower piece
may be used for the crossover sort Of
vestee shown in the sketch.

Like Wind-shaken Reed.

''What went ye out into the wilder
uess to see? A reed shaken with the
wind7"-Matt, Kit.
AGultitudes had been attending the
ministry Of John the Baptist In the
wilderness. Jesus was one day speaking
to these same people, and concerning
John, He asked: what went We out
into the wilderness to see? A reed
shaken with the wind2" OF course not.
Il was not q wind-shaken reed that had
attracted them to the wilderness, but,
rather, an iron pillar standing firm
against every wind that blew. BY His
question Jesus implied what His hear
ers knew-that John was q man Of
courage and conviction.
I believe that at this hour we are In
the midst Of the greatest crisis ever
known in the history Of the world.
These are times that try mems souls.
Great questions are at issue, great
causes are ut stake. the very future of
civilization hangs in the balance. There
never was q time when there was O
greater need for men like John the
Baptist, men with the strength of iron

who are not afraid to sacrifice and guf-
fer for the sake Of truth and in order TO

unpopular, they drop down on their

this hour Of the worlds crisis, it will
be due to the prevailing number Of
such men-men like . wind-shaken

around it, expecting to see MS would

running 50 fast that he was yell past
the big stons before it dawned on him
that he was cha ing nothing. Just moth
ing at all There was no Squirrel in

ped as quickly as HI could. Such
funny look as there was on his face.
That fellow had vanished, vanished
completely.
Flip w1irled to look behind him. He
jumped up to look over the grass better
He decis@d that the fellow must have
lodged around the big stone and prob
ably was hiding on the other side Back
he raced and around the big stone. No
Squirrel. He stood up with his paws on
the stone to look over it. He yelped
with disappointment and chagrin. He
had been so sure Of that Squirrel that
even now he couldn't believe that he
had escaped. 1t just didn't seem pos
sible.
At last he quoted down enough to
get right down to business to find out
what had become of that fellow. He
went slowly around that big stone
shifting and looking for a hiding place
under the edge of it. And so at length
he came TO hole, hole that LED right
down under that big stone. One sniff
told him that this was where that
Squirrel had gone. Flip tried to dig
down. but coon gave it up as bad job.
He backed of and stared at that hole
hopelessly.
This is the first time I ever knew
Happy Jack to go into a hole in the
ground" he nauttered
But this was Flip's mistake. It
wasn't Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel
at all. 1t was Twitchtail the California
Ground Squirrel who had so COM
pletely fooled him.

white paint satisfactorily.
Soap and water are the best materials
to use for washing white paint. II the
paint has not been neglected, the soap
and water viii usually do the trick. A
white soap Is best. Add tablespoonful
of kerosene TO a pail Of water for this
washing.
If this treatment won't do. then use
little ammonia. This Will remove the
dirt. 1t also removes the paint. So use
IL sparingly. However. there are times
and places where a little ammonia is
absolutely necessary to get white paint
clean.

fensive by the federal government
against alleged liquor traffickers in
Minot appeared Saturday when 1t be-
came known that proceedings by
which United States prosecutors hope
to paddock nine buildings In the city
have been instituted.
The proceedings instituted in the
United States district court at Far
go are regarded here as indicative OF
the prosecutions disappointment ana
dEapproval Of the results Of the fed

February.
At this term a majority of the
liquor cases upon the calendar was
dismissed after juries had acquitted
two defendants and had convicted
another OF only possession whereas he
also had been charged with sale.
Growing out OF this term of court
is an investigation which has been
launched by the department of justice
with reference to the panel Of jurors
who served during the court session.
Rumors that liquor was furnished
free to jurors and that some of the
jurors had the smell of liquor upon
their breath while in the courtroom
are being run down by the depart
1nent agents.
Owners OF the buildings in which
alleged liquor violations have oc-
Cured are named as defendants in
the padlocking proceedings, which
are Of a civil nature.

OAKLAND PLANNING
BUSINESS REVIVAL
Local Agent Offers Free Rides
to induce Public to Buy
Automobiles Now

Plans for local participation in a
business revival week. to be staged
by the Oakland Motor Car company
We're announced Saturday by Ray v.
Stair, president of the Stair Motor
company, local agents for the Oak
land.
Under the plan, four Pontiac auto
mobiles will be placed at the disposal
Of local motorists from now until
April S.
Most authorities agree that bust
ness IS on the up grade, " said Mr..
Stair. "Tardy buyers are coming
back into the market, probably at
tracted by the increased values being
offered. This Is especially true
throughout the automobile business
toward which many people look for
the leadership that will bring business
in general back to normal.
Our company and every other
Oakland-P Pontiac dealer will try dur
ing this business revival campaign to
impress backward automobile buyers
with the high values offered in tile
1881 cars. The main reason why con-
ditions + ripe for increased auto
mobile buying is the fact that more
than 100000 cars on our highways
have become more expensive to main
tain and operate than to replace
Good spring driving weather will
make a lot Of people realize that the
time has come to get a new car. That
is why We r conducting our business
revival campaign early in the spring
"Of course we do not expect every
person to purchase a car just because
he accepts q demonstration. We are
glad OF the opportunity to show oul
ears regardless of whether the dem
o%lstration guests expect to buy. But
| We do believe some Of them will buy
, not only because we r offering gooe
| values but because the time has ar.
rived when it has become a matter o.
