Designers are enthusiastic over the
new twin prints" which are produced
in two different tones of one color so
they can be used together. In the pic
ture the body Of the frock is made
from the darker color of twin dia-
mond print while the trimming is in
the brighter shade of the same print.
These smart-looking twin prints are
especially adaptable to the very popu-
lar contrast-yoke fashions. The light
er portion makes the deep yoke and in
most instances the sleeves, while the
darker silk which carries the identical
patterning is employed for the rest
of the bodice and the skirt. The ac-
companyings jacket, for there is almost
sure to be complementary jacket,
will more than likely be styled of the
same dark silk as the skirt portion,
so that when worn on the street the
ensemble presents quiet tailored APP
pearance.
Plaids are the smart thing in prints
for spring, both in crepe silks and
chiffons. At this moment it is the cos
tune blouse of plaid silk which is
initiating the vogue for plaids. 1t
brings most any cloth suit right up to
the minute in fashion, if beneath it's
fur-trimmed jacket there is revealed

Read These Hints and Be Healthy

10. Never wear heavy under
clothing or chest protectors. In win
ter, use wooden Undertaking; in
summer, ordinary cotton under
clothing.
II. Let your shoes be stout and
warm in winter and wear warm,
wooden socks by all means. Wooden
socks at night are often a great
comfort. In winter, a flannel shirt
is much more comfortable than
anything else. When sitting out in
winter, have an extra wrap nearby.
IL. If you get overheated and
perspire, change your clothing and
rub dry.
Is. A healthy condition of the
skin IS most important. A warm
bath once or twice a week if ordered
by your physician is advisable and
a cool sponge bath or tub bath in
the morning if your doctor permits
it.
Remember that the water should
be cool, but not ice cold. If you do
not have a proper reaction after your
bath, if you feel chilly or are blue,
the water is too cold.
Ask your doctor about it. See
that your room or bathroom or
wherever you take your bath is
warm.

Makes People Think

OBVIOUSLY, people are begin
" ming to talk, if not to think,
which is a good sign, since nobody
can talk very long without being
obliged to think.
Nor is it necessarily a pessirnistic
view Of conditions in this country
to imagine that they require think
ing.
Whether one considers them from
an economic, or social standpoint,
conditions in this country are not
what they should be, or what most
people supposed they would be two
years ago.
AS nation, we are suffering from
a dozen different aches and pains,
which means a yell for as many
remedies all at once.
If we don't look out, somebody will
mistake bichloride Of mercury for
aspirin tablets.
The notion is gaining ground that
machinery has caused most of our
ills, that we are producing more
than we can consume, and that the
one way is shorter working day.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

! the air to be fresh need not neces-
sarily be cold.
4. Ideal food should be appetizing
nutritious, and not too bulky. If
appetizing and not nutritious, it
will not nourish you; if nutritious
and not appetizing, you will not eat
it; if too bulky, however appetizing,
it upsets your stomach.
5. Eat up to the limit of your
digestion. It is the food which is
digested and absorbed, and not
what is put into your mouth, which
will do you good. A glass of milk
win each meal is advisable. Raw
eggs are not so digestible as cooked
eggs. Take nothing between meals
unless ordered by your doctor.
6. If your digestion is poor, tell
your doctor.
Z. Eat your meals at regular
hours. Do not take reading matter
to the table. Smiles and laughter
are the best possible aids to diges-
ton.
8. Approach, and leave each meal
in rested condition. Never eat when
tired. Never exercise Immediately
after eating.

dunn wool underwear; in summer,

EVANSVILLE, md, March 49,
- Judging from what has hap
pened during the last nine days,
the recent session Of congress did
a great deal to pep up politics.
First, Chairman Raskob dares the
Democrats to tackle prohibition.
While they argue over the idea in
more or less shocked amazement,
thee Anti-Saloon League picks UP
his challenge, which makes the
situation consistent, if not clear.
Then the progressives hold two
day palaver, the most important
result Of which is that most of them
viii string along with the grand old
party.
Then Mr.. Wickersham rises to re-
mark that the report on prohibition
recently made by his commission
really favors the vets and that they
ought to feel encouraged by it.
Then stalwart Senator Fess Of
Ohio goes down south for a little
rest and recuperation before I'M
dertaking to defend the Hoover adj
ministration with such pitying pub
Lefty as, in his opinion, it deserves.

Taxi Regulation

One of the necessities Of modern city life
is an efficient taxi service at prices which are
fair to those who use them.
This city once had a rather bad reputa-
ton because of it's charges for this service.
The comparison with other cities was unfa-
vorable.
The situation no longer exists, due to
competition which came largely from cabs
owned by their drivers.
Theoretically, the best service should
come from those who have not only the own
ership but the operation of their cabs them
selves. The owner is likely to be more care
full OF his property than one whom he en-
ploys His financial responsibility is always
at stake.
Just what evils at this time demand any
new regulation in this city, beyond that al
ready established by state laws, should be
carefully explained to the members of the
city council when that body attempts such
regulation next week.
Giving any board power of life and death
to any enterprise which desires to compete in
this business is wrong in principle. Such a
provision is suggested
The rates may still be too high. The door
should be opened for competition, especially
from drivers of their own cabs, as a safe
guard against any combination or trust
agreement in the future.
There are many Objectionable features in
the proposed ordinance. Perhaps the whole
project of new regulation is Objectionable
and unnecessary.

But there is another alternative

people might smash the machinery,

Questions and
Answers

How are the colors produced In
the neon tubes that are used for
electric sign advertising?
Neon lamps are a DEVELOPMENT of
a gaseous conductor tube employing
neon gas, which dates back to about
1911, by applying a high voltage
to tubes fitted with electrodes and
containing the gas. The electrical
discharge through the gas causes
luminous glow. The characteristic
color OF neon is a reddish orange
glow, but the addition of small
amounts Of mercury a light blue
color is obtained, and by adding
other gases in conjunction with
neon, or by using colored glass tub
ing, other colorS are obtained.

ON March 10. ITS. the Marquis
~ de Noailles. French anbassa-
dor in London, announced to the
British government that his coUn-
try recognized the independence of
the American colonies, and that it
had formed a treaty Of friendship
and commerce with them.
To the struggling colonies this
news was received with great en-
thusiasrn. In Europe, however, the
reaction was different. Lord Stor-
mont, British ambassador to France,
left Paris Immediately without in
forming the French government Of
his intention.
Spain, which owned vast areas
in the United States, also showed
her IT sentiment of the treaty.
Within a month, France and Eng
land were at war, and Spain was
kept fritudiy to France only by g
secret tres ty, which promised that
France would recognize United
States dominion only as far west
as the Mississippi river.
