Lone Voter Has
Costly Ballot

FRESNO, Calf, Aug. 20. W.P)-
When one Fresno voter casts his
ballot in the California state pri-
mary election this month";, he. will
put his mark on a ballot that cost
several times it's weight in gold.
That one ballot, county officials
said, cost just $3.50.
The voter, they explained, is the
only member of the Liberty party
in Fresno county. To provide him
with his party's ballot, the county
had to buy one ream of paper for
it, and have 10 ballots printed.
That number is the smallest that
may be printed, they said.

Unusual MeteOrite
Placed On Display

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 10. U.R)-
A piece of the only meteorite ever
known to have struck a building
has been placed on exhibit in
Mineral hall of the Academy OF
Natural Sciences.
On June 10, 1911, as William
Gaffney was walking toward his
barn. near Kilbourn, Wis, he heard
a cannon-like report and saw some
thing strike the stone foundation
of the barn and bury itself in the
hard clay floor.
He found the "stone' too hot to
touch and it retained its heat for
several hours.
The meteorite was of the stony
type, composed of silicates of mag
nesium and iron, with considerable
metallic iron, and weighed less than
two pounds.
A thin black crust on the sur
face shows the effect of the melt
ing of the silicates.

Longears.
20. k called Uncle Wiggily
with a jolly laugh as he jumped
down the front steps and soon he
was on his way. Il think" he said
to himself as he hoped along, "it
will be best first to get something
for my wife and then have an ad-
venture that will fit in. Otherwise
I might forget to bring her some
thing and she would cry. She was
almost crying when I left her this
morning
So Uncle Wiggily thought and
thought and thought what would
be a nice present for his wife. And
as he was hopping along thinking,
he met Mr.. Twistytail, the fat, gen.
tleman pig.
What are you thinking about,
Wiggy?" asked the pig.
About what can bring back TO
my wife as an adventure present,
said Mr.. Longears.
Bring her a goldfish" sug-
gested the pig.
NO." spoke Uncle Wiggily, shak-
ing his head, II gave her a gold
fish once, or gave it to Nurse Jane,
which is much the same thing. A
goldfish would never do. She's had
one
Then why not a silverfish?"
asked Mr.. Twistytail. IF a gold
fish won't do silverfish ought to,
being a sort of cousin, you know.
Bring your wife silverfish"
II shall!" decided Uncle Wiggily
That's very good idea! I'll hop
to the fish store and get one now
1t did not take the rabbit gen.
tleman long to get bowl of water,
with shiny pebbles on the bottom
and some long, waving stems of
grass growing in it. Then the
Monkey Doodle gentleman, who
kept the pet store, dipped, with a
little net, a fine silverfish out of
his tank and popped it into Uncle
Wiggily's bowl of water.
iii take this silverfish to my
wife and then have an adventure,
said the rabbit gentleman. But OF
his way to the bungalow, all of a

the Fuzzy Fox, right in front ot
| Mr.. LongearS.
! Hal" snarled the Fox Il see
you have some nice watercresS il
that bowl, Uncle Wiggily. well
i I'll eat that watercress first and
then I'll nibble youl With that the
Fox stuck his paw in the silverfish
bowl, thinking the long, green grass
! was watercress, and he didn't set
the silverfish hidden there. But
! the silver fish saw the paw of the
Fox and gave it good hard bite
"Oh, WOW! wow!' howled the Bac

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-On his

shirt, his leather face partially hid

Spotlight on WaiStline Details

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-Following
~ the good old october custom,
waistlines are on the move. On the
up and up, for the most part-like
many other things this more cheer
full fall A little up-a little more
or even way up
And-if you want them-you even
can have them down. Patou has
shown some waistlines that way
the belt dropped to the hips. But
still with nodded, cinched-in line
through the normal waistline and
bodice.
Waistlines certainly are in the
spotlight right now, with all sorts
Of tricks to make them noticeable
and important.
A belt fabric, leather, metal
wide or narrow is the usual
way to mark the waist.
No Belt More Unusual
But much more unusual and dis
tinctive is no belt at all. And then
the dress is cozened and wheedled
into shape with tiny inverted tucks
or darts until it pinches in neatly
through hips and waist and bodice
and makes as smooth a line as those
princess dresses you used to wear.
Adjustable, wrap-around girdles
help you to do all sorts of things to
your waistline. They're wrapped
twice as tightly or loosely as
you like, and can be pulled out as
wide as you wish.
Scanning on the up"
The first, or under wrap, may be
quite wide and high wasted looking
and the second, or over wrap, mar
rowed down to tailored belt proper
tons. And that's what's been done
to the girdle of the dress sketched.
Scanning is on the up, too, as
Waistline emphasis. Up on to the
bodice it goes, heightening the waist.
Often dress is of two fabrics
crepe and satin make a good COM
bination-with the skirt of one ma
terial built up and scanned on to the
bodice, which is Of the second fabric.
What to Do to WaistIine?
There are many other details
putting emphasis on the waistline
section. So it behooves every wom-
an to make sure that the details she
chooses are the ones that do the
best to her figure.
What to do to waistlines of diff
ferent kinds of figures is explained
