the sleeves are capped to achieve the
proper -shouldered silhouette.
With the ensemble idea in mind the
designer lines this coat with the iden-
tical brown wool fabric which fash
ions the frock.
Al item of outstanding interest in
connection with the young looking
campus frock- to, the right, made of
coco brown rabbits hair wool with
white angora for the blouse or guimpe,
is it's high neckline and the fact that
the sleeves are full and in contrast.
It is taken for granted that every
college girl will include velvet after
noon gown in her wardrobe. The
model pictured is Of that voguish mat
velvet, brown in this instance, the dull
finish of which carries an air of re-
finement. Brown mink fur forms the
ornamental bow at the neckline. An
unusual buckle of brown composition
and rhinestones fastens the belt.
AS a climax to this recital of col
lege-daughter fashions we call your at
tention to the stunning footwear which
adds so decided note of chic. The
fact that in each instance the hand
some shoes worn are of patent leath-
er carries its own message of what's
what in smart footwear for fall. Pat
ent leather and suede oxfords in
blended browns coordinate with the
coat. With her guimpe frock Miss
College-girl is wearing brown patent
leather shoes with fancy openwork de-
sign. A sandal-like lacing enhances
the brown patent leather shoes which
tune so beautifully to the charming
velvet gown.

Period of Depression
Worried Walt Whitman

Back in 1857 Walt Whitman was
worrying about the depression, and
the wild thyme among the banks"
and unemployment. He wrote an ed
itorial about it for the Brooklyn
Daily Times. which the Golden Book
Magazine quotes:
"For the land has been shaken as
by an earthquake, and the founda-
lions of industry are dried. the arm
of the worker is palsied, the cum
ming hand is motionless, and the
hum and stir of a busy commerce
are changed to the detected silence
of a day of national fasting and hui
initiation.

than $4,000 laboring people. who
live. and help still more numerous
thousands to live, by their toll, are

LUMBER-JACK COATS
DECREED FOR FALL

Fall suits will not have the strictly
tailored finish of the suits of last sea-
son. The short little bellhop jackets
and snug double-breasted models of
last year will be replaced by lumber
jack coats and loosely fitted jackets
with less formal fastenings and wider
sleeves.
The hip-length and three-quarter
coats will be favored both for street
and sports wear. One of the new
lumber-jack models is fashioned of a
feather tweed. and consists of a
straight dress and jacket. The dress
top and lining of the coat are of EN-.

CHAPTER VI
Without Warning

made for dinner. Inquiry along the
way had proved that the Fleetwing
was still on ahead; but Of the limou-
sine they had heard nothing.
Confident. however, that theirs was
the rearmost Of the three cars, they
covered another hundred miles before
stopping for the night in small
town. Since there was no public
garage. they put the roadster under a
shed in the tavern yard, where the
innkeeper assured them 1t would be
safe. and went to bed.
The next morning, at breakfast, the
innkeeper burst in upon them to ask
If they had locked the car before
leaving it.
''I didn't" said Markham promptly.
"Why"
"'Cause it's gone, slick and clean!
Whadda you know about that? My
land! Nothin' like that's ever hap
pened here before. You go on and
finish eatin' an I'll get to work on the
phone"
(which meansT" Lands queried,
after the landlord had gone.
1T may mean nothing more than
an ordinary car theft"
Lands shook his head. 'I'm afraid
not. I'm thinking it means that some
body wants to leave us stranded"
1.-THE three men in the Fleetwing?"
Hardly, you'd say. Apart from the
fact that they've been identified as
respectable citizens, unless everybody
has been lying to us, they are hours
ahead of us-and have been ever

Otherwise he wouldn't have asked
about us in the st. Joseph hotel. That
looks as If he might have been fol-
lowing us, doesn't it,"
'Why should he follow us?"
Lands shrugged. 'rm no mind
reader. There are times when 1 wish
1 were-and this is one of them"
Since the perturbed tavern keeper
was likely to do everything possible to
trace the car stolen from his prem
ises, they took their time over break
fast. Then Markham told him he
would pay liberal reward for infor-
nation; after which they went to sit
on the tavern porch and smoke and
wait for results.
"Not thar there are likely to be
any results" Markham offered. "rve

crossed the lobby and asked the clerk
for match. He said, BY George! I
thought you and your friend had gone.
There was a gentleman just now ask
ing for you, and I told him you'd left
not five minutes before. He said he
was sorry, and then he asked about
those three Louisville men you were
inquiring about; when they came, and
how long they'd been gone / could
see he had his curiosity aroused, but

'sWhat does Candy know about the
Louisville men, Wally?" Lands asked.
"That's just what I'd like to know,
Owen. And, added to that, how he
knew they'd been here in st. Joseph,
and how he knew we'd been here"
Lands eyes, the dreamy eyes of
the inventor and research student,
grew thoughtful. II think we are
justified in going on" he said; and, as
the blue car turned into the main
street, II wish Betty and the pro-
lessor had turned that fellow down

him. don't trust him, Wally."
Crossing the river to Elwood, on the
Kansas side of the Missouri, they
soon learned that Fleetwing had
gone west earlier In the day; also that
a Nordyke limousine had followed
within the last half hour. q

afternoon, three cars might have been

Fur will be used chiefly for trim

are usually of fur pelts, while the

"Oh, non' laughed Nurse Jane as
she tied her long tail in bow knot
so it wouldn't get tangled around
the legs of the chairs. These are

Jelly glasses for what?" the rab-
bit asked.
For grape jelly, I hope" went
on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. This time,
each year, 1 fill the glasses with
jelly so you may have something
good to eat on your pancakes this
winter. These are glasses for grape
jelly, and I am counting on you,
Uncle Wiggily, to get me the grapes
that may boil them down into
jelly"
"Oh, so I'm to get the grapes, am

yes, I have often heard you say
that when you are adyenturing in
the woods you see so many wild
grapevines. Now wild grapes make
the very best jelly, so I am hoping
you will bring me back a basket of
grapes this afternoon. Here's the
basket"
Taking it from the table, Nurse
Jane handed the basket to Mr..
Longears.
please bring me all the wild
grapes you can find" she said. "It
doesn't matter whether they are
all ripe or not. Some green grapes
in with the purple ones make the
jelly so much thicker"
"All right, I'll try to get you
some grapes in the woods" promised
Mr.. Longears as he hoped away
with the basket.
The rabbit gentleman, indeed,
did know where to find wild grape
vines in the woods where he had
many adventures. Sometimes he
would make from strands of the
wild grapevine swings for the rab-
bit children. Again, when any OF
the Bad Chaps chased him, Mr..
Longears might make wild west

Mountain Springs
Pioneer Tells OF
Growing Peanuts

Many letters have been received
at the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce concerning the peanut vine
brought to chamber headquarters
by w. H. Messerole some weeks
ago, and a number of persons have
written that they, too, have grown
peanuts, or COOLERS, in Imperial
Valley.
Now it seems peanuts will not be
confined to the irrigated valley, but
may be grown in the more hilly
sections of the county. The cham
ber today received a photograph
from j. E. Mcdonald, proprietor of
the Mountain Springs service sta
ton, showing peanut vine which
grew at Mountain Springs without
cultivation, one of many which
grew wild but produced peanuts Of
good size and delicious flavor, ac-
cording to the writer.
Mcdonald states that he came
to Mountain Springs in June, 1915,
when the road to Ell Centro was a
sea of sand and automobile time
between the two points was from
three to six hours, with a dozen
| bloW-outs common. AS travel was
light and money scarce, Mcdonald
states he planted a little garden
and his two daughters decided that
peanuts would add to the plot.
From the peanut garden, 10 by 10
feet in size. grew all the peanuts
the family could consume, and they
continued to grow without culti-
yation for several years.
In conclusion Mcdonald states
IF we could make showing like
this among our rocks and winds at
Mountain Springs, it is my belief
that wonders in peanuts could be
realized in Imperial Valley if put
on a commercial basis"

purple grapes, there were green
grapes on the vine.
But Nurse Jane said she wanted
some green grapes as well as purple
ones SO I'll pick both kinds,
thought Mr.. Longears.
He had his basket nearly filled
with green and purple grapes when,
all of a sudden he happened to
wonder how they tasted since he
had, as yet, not eaten one.
First I'll try a purple grape
said the bunny uncle.
He ate that and liked it very
much for it was sweet and juicy.
Now I'll try green grape" he
said.
But when he had put one of
these in his mouth and taken a
bite he made such a funny face
that a little bird sitting on a tree
began to laugh very loudly.
Whats the matter?" asked Uncle
Wiggily as he tasted the green sour
grape.
"Oh, such a funny face as you
madel' sang the bird. You should
see yourself!'

Wolf.
"Oh, have a grape!" said Uncle

green, sour one into the open mouth
of the Wolf. And when the Bad
Chap bit on it Uncle Wiggily began
to laugh.

NEEDY MUST BE HELPED

YESTERDAY the President, address,
ing the conference on welfare and re-
lief organization at Washington, made
plea for generous charity" on the part
of the public to the end that suffering
among the needy may be limited dur
ing the coming winter.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the fed
eral emergency relief program creates a
backlog" of support for private phil
anthropy and urged the latter to do its
utmost to cooperate with the activities
started by the government.
The Presidents request finds echo
right here in Ell Centro where philan-
thropic organizations are already pre-
pairing for the heavy demand that is cer-
tain to be made upon them in the win
ter months.
All of us remember last winter and
the winter before, when the influx of
needy ones from the outside was unus-
ually severe. There is every indication
that similar conditions will exist this
year
Coordination of effort through the
central committee on welfare did much
to make the relief work here a success
and it is hoped that similar organiZa-
tion will be operated this year
Local charitable organizations must of
necessity depend upon the generosity of
local residents for their support.
The plea for discarded clothing is
made now by these organizations. Most
families can find something in this line
that can be contributed. 1t makes no
difference which organization is aided by
donations and contributions. All of them
are doing good work and if there is any
preference on the part of the individual
as to which organization he shall aid,
that is his right.
Need for donations of food and money,
which will be even heavier later on, is
apparent now.
All of US should keep our charitable
organizations in mind and see that they
have the wherewithal to carry on their
work. In a measure contributing to their
support is good protection for this city,
for hungry and idle men roaming around
the streets increase laWlessness.
The President call should not be for
gotten.
