Extreme Advances Turn Quickly to Losses
 Market Over Ripe

NEW YORK, Aug. II. The Stock Market turned emphatically downward today.
 Successive buying waves, first rails and then farm implements, failed to keep the bull movement rolling in the face of the growing conviction that the trade advance has been going too fast and the list was over ripe.
 Selling Volume
 Selling dev loped considerable volume at the close.
 Union Pacific showed a loss of three points.
 Extreme advances of three to four points turned to similar losses for International Harvester.
 American Telephone and Tele- graph lost two points.
 United States Steel, common, was off two points and preferred was off four.
 Other Issues Off
 Issues or one to two points included General Motors, Standard oil of New Jersey, American Car, Bethlehem Steel, New York Gen. tral, Northern Pacific, Santa Fe and others.
 Indications are that the Govern ment wheat crop estimates of Aug ust are less favorable.
 Caution has been injected into the bull camp inasmuch as com- modities have been the chief talk ing point.

it was finished while both were away

was sitting on his favorite stone in the
old wall telling all who would listen
how happy he was. And now and then

would have had no JOY had they known
1t.
There were others who came looking

Sammy. usually so noisy, was silent as
he fitted from tree to tree in the Old

find that nest hugged himself for Joy.
When he popped out for look
around very early one morning he dis
covered Blacky the Crow in the Old

passed the time of day and then began
a search of all the trees in the Old

he could. for he also has fondness for

was a great fuss that brought all the
birds in the Old Orchard to help We'll

drove Chatterer in ignominious flight
clear out of the Old orchard back to
the Green Forest, whereat there was
great rejoicing among the feathered
folk
Striped Chipmunk couldn't see the
fight, but he heard it all and his bright
eyes snapped and once more he hugged
himself. Chatterer had not found the
nest of the Red-eyes and he felt sure
that he was the only one that knew

BIZ FLORENCE La GANyE.

When Nancy looked over her living
room with a critical eye she noticed
that all the furniture was lined UP
against the wall She never thought OF
making the mistake of putting a large
piece like a davenport or sofa on an
angle, for large pieces of furniture
should follow the structural lines of the
room. That she knew, was an unbroken
rule of interior decorators. The abomi-
nate cat-a-corner arrangements. But
she wondered, wasn't there some way Of
moving smaller piece away from the
wall lineup.
1t so happened she was using a knee
hole fat-top desk in her living room
She moved it out at right angles to the
wall.
And she liked it that way so we'll
she kept it there.
BY putting it out into the room she
not only broke the straight lineup
arrangement, but she allowed the per-
son sitting at the desk to become a part
of the conversational group which was
facing the fireplace. Had she put the
desk fiat against the wall the person
sitting at the desk would have had
her back to the other occupants of the
room.
In her mothers home Nancy re-
membered a charming arrangement,
which was similar to hers. Nancy's
mother had low table, a decorative
one with chess board placed upon it.
The chess men we're standing at atten-
ton en- the board. Two small chairs
were placed, one on either side of the
table. This arrangement gave a per-
petual invitation to two people to sit
themselves down and enjoy a game of
chess. Sometimes the game played was
checkers But in any case here was a
nice, friendly grouping of furniture,
which added to the charm Of the room.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Deodorant powders, pastes. creams
and wakes are usually made with base
of zinc oxide or carbonate. Some OF
these preparations form a thin film of
perfumed material on the skin. This
perfume is very carefully selected to
blend with the natural body odors to
produce faint agreeable fragrance. A
clever, new deodorant of this kind is a
mixture Of wax, zinc oxide, boric acid
and perfume made up in handy STICK
form. Zinc ointment may be massaged
into the armpits (Which have previous
ly been freed from hair and then wiped
off. leaving a thin film over the area.
This Is the basis of some deodorant
creams. To 1t may be added various
helpful substitutes like boric acid, sail
cylic acid, camphor or formalin.
Among the deordorant powders. boric
acid and zinc oxide are of prime i'm
portance. The former prevents fetld
perspiration, is a soothing antLept1c
and dessicant. The latter is a mild
astringent and has fine absorbent quail
ties. This may be used for perspirlng
feet, armpitS, etc, or in combination
with other substances, such as sallcync
acid, French chalk. starch powder ana
alum. To neutralize strong persplra-
ton odors, mixture of one part alum
to ten of starch is useful.
When perspiration is not excessive, a
mild astringent like witchhazel Will
keep the skin fresh and sweet. Stronger
lotions are frequently needed, however:
After the skin has been washed and
dried a little toilet water may be patted
on to close the pores. Those who per.
snire too freely may use a mixture of
ten parts camphor, one part salicylic
acid three parts formalin and sixty
parts of perfumed alcohol This lotion
may be applied to armpits, palms,
shoulders, etc.
There are also soaps that contain
astringents. such as tannin. Ordinary
facial soaps and plenty of water should
be used freely on any parts Of the body
