Is YOUR vacation program most
ly matter of swimming, bath
ing and summing? If so, you will
be interested in the combination
tathing and beach costume, shown
in the picture. 1t might correctly
be spoken of as three-in-One
proposition, for it is all of that
sun, water and sand costume.
AS to looks" well, you can see
for yourself that it is about as
smart costume as ever went in
the water or ever came out for a
stroll on the beach. AS to being
practical, that is exactly why we
are illustrating il here. because it
is thoroughly so.
See to the left this modish suit
all ready to jump in and take a
swim. OF course, not even bath
ing costume is expected to stay un-
der the water all the time, eSpe-
cially when the call of the beach
style-parade is so insistent. When
ii comes to beach regalia, as every
woman KNOWS, il is huge hats and
novel pajamas which are telling
most of the story Wherefore. it's
a wise designer who includes in this
ensemble perfectly stunning pa
jamas with straw hat as gayly
cOlOrful as the mode demands.
You will adore the chic color
scheme of the snug fitting pajamas

AIOMEN who work in their
w own gardens and find the or
binary steel rake heavy and cum
bersome will be delighted with bam-
boo rakes, which come from Japan
and are very cheap. Metal rakes
now being made in this country
have the same pattern and are al
most as light. These rakes are
especially useful when cleaning up
leaves and grass clippings, but can
also be used in garden work of a
light nature. They can be handled
in much the same way as a broom,
and with much less effort than is
required to manipulate rakes of
the Old-fashiOned type. These rakes
do not look very strong, but will
stand remarkable amount of hard
service. Naturally the metal rakes
are somewhat more durable than
the japanese product, but the lat
ter is cheap and surprisingly sat.

AMERICAN BATHING
SUIT WORLDS BEST

Paris, the style center of the
world, lags far behind America in
the design of one important fem
mime garment, according TO Baron
de Meyer, famous French stylisI
and fashion authority. That gar
ment is the One-piece bathing suit.
The American One-piece may not
be modest, but it's the most mod
ish garment of its kind in the
world. the baron writes in Har-
per's Bazaar. Nothing-and only
nottingham equal it for showing
off the feminine figure to the best
advantage.
Nothing made in Europe can
beat the quality of the American
made bathing suit" Baron de
Meyer writes. mo other suit of it's
kind apparently gives the female
figure so perfect a shape"
In one way, however, the dTrench
suits have the bulge on all others.
They're so tight they cause their
wearers to bulge in the wrong
places, the baron says.
European bathing suits would i'm.

over for the night, Peter was hear

and they knew no good of him.
Buster had said that everybody
hated Glutton; that he was so
selfish that when he found more
food than he could eat he spoiled
what was left so that no one else
should have any; that he was so
smart in a bad way that no one
could hide anything from him, and
that he was so strong and savage
that most of the people who lived
in the Great Woods were afraid of
him. In fact, Buster had said that
there was no good lin him.
Then HOnker the Goose had told
how he had watched Glutton fol-
low trapper and find and pull up
all the traps, no matter how cum
ningly they were hidden, so that no
one would be caught in them, at
the same time stealing all the food
which the trapper had put out as
bait to lead little fur-coated peo-
pie into the traps He told how
Glutton had broken into the little
log house of the trapper while the
latter was away, and had stolen or
ruined all his supplies, so that the
trapper had been forced to go
away to get more. OF course while
he was away the little people in fur
had nothing to fear from traps.
Peter had listened with ears wide
open. When Honker had finished
Peter spoke.
Did l understand you to say that
Glutton is all bad and that every
one hates him?" he asked.
You certainly did," grOwled Bus

Thistledown and
Tree
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

EOLLY is the thistledown
Floating on the air.
Dancing in its fairy gown,
Knowing not a care.
Folly scorns the sturdy tree,
Standing in its place,
But in trouble mOrtals flee
To the trees embrace.
He who follows thistledcwn
Is the sport of fate,
Even if he find the town,
Finding it too late.
He who walks the straighter way
OF the rooted right,
He will have a house by day
And bed by night.
Folly is the thistledown.
Is a tickle wrath.
Always with its verdant crown
Stands the tree of faith.
There is shelter in the gale,
Comfort, friendly hands;
Yes, the thistle down will fail
While the old tree stands.

WHOLESALE TRADE
FIGURE ANNOUNCED

BY the Associated Press
The Commerce Department an
nounced today that wholesale business
in the United States during 1929 to-
tailed $69, 1926, 448,O61.
The figure was based on a Census
Bureau canvass of every city, town and
rural area in the United States. It
compares with approximately $4,000
O00. 900 Of retail sales during the
period.
The department said the difference
wsS accounted for by the fact that the
wholesale figures include exports sales
to industrial consumers and some du-
plication in handling goods between
producers and retailers and industrial
consumers. The retail business, on the
other hand, included sales to ultimate
consumers only.
The wholesale figure, the department
said. almost equaled the gross value of
manufactured products and was about
six times the gross income from farm
production
The survey showed 1856, 1888 whole
sale establishments of all kinds in the
country in 1929.
