The fox is blue, that is the
dictum of the style arbiters.
Very charming is an evening
coat of ruby velvet in dolman
effect. It has a rounded panel
back and the front of the coat
is also another panel fur edged.
The panels join at the knee and
then flare. Of course the coat
is plentifully trimmed with blue
fox for collar, cuffs and panel.
Don't feel blue is not for
you, for a touch of it at least
suits every type of woman. And
so a lovely evening ensemble of
black chiffon with insets of
black Chantilly lace at hipline
and in the skirt, has girdle of
twisted turquoise blue velvet
ribbon. The loose chiffon and
lace coat is lined with turquoise
blue chiffon.

DO YOU KNOW
THAT

A simple device of few parts
weighing about 112 pounds, has
been invented to end the deadly
carbon-monoxide gas thrown off
from automobile and airplane
engines. 1t is based on the cata-
lytic qualities of platinum when
heated and exposed to COM
bustible gases. A thermo-coup-
let bridge" of platinum and
nickel wires are so placed that
the motor exhaust gases con-
stantly pass over it.
A safety valve has been in
vented to shut off the flow of
gas to a cooking stove should
its pilot light be extinguished.

nose are separated by plate
of cartilage, the septum. Thero-
retically, this should be straight
and flat, but being made OF
soft tissue, cartilage, it hardly
ever is. And hence comes un-
told misery to mankind. Look
ing in the nostrils, you will also
be able to see a large curved
mass of bone, on the outer side
of each nasal cavity opposite
the septun. This is the lower
turbinate. The turbinateS on
each side are bones covered
with thick, constantly moistened
mucous membrane. There are
three turbinates on each side,
but on ordinary inspection you
will not be able to see the up
per two.
Meet the Sinus
On each side there are three
large air spaces opening into
the nasal cavity by narrow lit
tie holes. These are the SinuSeS.
One is in the bone just above
the eye, represented by the lit
tie bulge over the eyebrows.
This is the frontal sinus. One
is behind the cheek bone-the
maxillary sinus. One is deep in
the back part of the skull-the
Sphenoid sinus. Almost the same
as Sinuses are the labyrinthine
ethmoidal cells.
These sinuseS are lined by
the same mucous membrane
which lines the nose. It Secretes
a mucous moisture which drains
through the little openings into
the nose.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am writing this for my
girl friend, and she also wishes
you would give her some ad-
vice. She is a girl of twenty
two and has been married but
is separated from her husband.
She has met a very nice man
and she wants to tell him she
is married and every time she
starts to tell him there is some
other subject brought up. Don't
you think it would be best for
her to tell him? L. P.
Unless the young man you
speak of has made the acquaint-
ance of your friend in a very
informal manner and they call
each other by their first names,
he must realize she has been
married. Or does she still call
herself "Miss?" Yes, by all
means, have her tell him that
she's been married.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I must come to you for a
little advice. I am a widow,
my husband has been dead
over two years and I am in
love with a very nice man
whom I think the world of,
but he has one bad fault, he
will get drunk. 1 have begged
him not to drink and he will
promise me he won't, and then
will turn against his own
word, and yet he claims he
loves me. I have come to you
to ask if I should give him
up. He is 81 and I am "a
years of age. BLUE EYES.
I would as soon advise you
to stand in the path of a
locomotive as to marry a man
of the type you describe. He
promises you not to drink and
hasn't enough backbone to keep
his word. After he had mar
ried you, he would think less
of keeping promises than he
does now. Just go to a do
mestic relations court some
morning and listen to the evil
dence of drunkards' wives. AS
you value your own peace Of
mind please don't marry this
man.

tached his signature TO No. 1886 he thereby launched
Texas into the governmental effort Of regulating the
truck industry to a point where that industry would
share an equal burden Of regulation with that other

inspiration from the Hogg laws. Is history merely re-
