SalYaging the Mail Matter.

A great many letters would reach the
dead letter Offices if there were no
postal directory service. How effective
ly this service performs its task Is seen
in the fact that during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1929, only 2s,07s,61s
unbelievable letters were received in
all the dead letter Offices in the coun-
try-a fact to which the Postmaster
General points with considerable pride.
Considering the billions of letters that
are handled by the post Office each
day-the dead letter Office figures seem
slender, indeed.

Was a Problem

"Mary Jane caused me many
anxious moments" says Mrs. G. G.
Mcdowell, 4O35 Wentworth Ave-,
So, Minneapolis, MINI. "She was
listless, weak, had no appetite.
"She suffered a lot from colds
until | began giving her California
Fig Syrup. 1t made her strong,
able to avoid colds; gave her
good appetite and digestion. She is
the picture of health, now.''
For over so years, California Fig
Syrup has been helping bilious,
weak, headachy, constipated babies
and children. Doctors by thousands
recommend this pure vegetable
product. Children love it's flavor.
It acts gently to open the bowels in
colds or children's diseases. Bowels
become regular with it's use and re-
main that way.
Emphasize the name California
or you may get an imitation.

Vergil More Than Match
for ssDevylls of He'll"

There are several stories telling how
Vergil became acquainted with the
"devylls of hell" According to one
German legend, Vergil was one day dig
ging in his garden when he came upon
glass filled with what appeared to
be wriggling earthworms. But voice
came from the glass begging Vergil
to open it and promising to teach him
many arts. "Teach me the arts" re
piled Vergil cannily, "and will break
the bottle and set you free."f So they
taught him all they knew, and when
he opened the bottle, Y devils crawled
out and disappeared.
In another version, single devil
promised to give Vergil the magical
book of Solomon If he would release
him from the bottle. Vergil did so,
but, frightened by the size Of the lib
Grated spirit, tricked him into return
ing to the bottle in the same way as
the fisherman in the arabian Nights"
tricked the Jim. Surely you can't
make yourself as small as the bottle
again." said Vergil. Easily" replied
the devil, and to prove it, returned to
the flask. Vergil promptly put in the
stopper and kept him prisoner forever.

Realistic flowers, scrolls, twists and

German Pronunciation

In Germany there is no standard OF
pronunciation that is acknowledged
and absolutely followed by the mass
Of intelligent people. The so-called
standard of some people is the pro-
nunciation Of the stage, which again
is divided into the pronunciation OF
tragedy and comedy. In the latter, OF
course, is heard the more natural pro-
nunciation of everyday life. The Sec
tional differences are very marked, but
in general there is North German
and a South German pronunciation.

beautiful materials. The challenge is
to play up fabric elegance to best adj
vantage, which is exactly what our
creators of costume beautiful are do
ing this season. This is especially
true in regard to evening modes which
are styled, for the most part, along
simplest lines so as to place the en-
phasis on the loneliness of their mate
rails.
In the exquisite velvet-brocaded
chiffons which are so greatly favored
in Paris at the present time for eve
ming wear and which are forecasted to
repeat their triumphs the summer
through, textile art reaches a high
note of achievement. The winsome
frock in the picture Is made of this
enchanting material, its pale blue
chiffon background brocaded with tiny
velvet motifs in Slightly darker tone.
Which reminds us that colorists in the
style realm are in mood to play up
blue in every possible graduation and
combination for srring and summer.
Note with what restraint the gown
pictured is fashioned in order that
nothing shall tract from the glory
of it's fabric. A tight silhouette is fea-
tured, which is very chic for this sea-
son. The biased skirt is raised high
at the waist, for waistlines in general
are growing noticeably highe In con-
nection with the new close-ftting lines
it is correct for the fullness to begin
at the knee as it so gracefully does

than csntrasted through design. One
might correctly describe them as be-
ing pieced together, for that is what
they are, strips, diamond shapes,
squares and triangles of silk, satin,
sheer velvet or crepe in multi-colors
ingeniousfy worked in modernistic de-
sign.
The scarf pictured seams strip of
black and strip Of white crepe weave
together, thus complementing the
black and white print which fashions
the frock.
