TREE PLANTING
COMMITTEE TO
STAY ACTIVE

With the approach of the tree
planting season the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce tree plant
ing committee, with Mrs. j. S.
Jones again as chairman, is max
ing it's winter plans. Thousands
of Palo Verde trees were DISTRIBUTE
ed at almost no cost by this COM
mittee last year and now, a year
later, the city streets are begin
ming to show results Of these
paintings.
According to Mrs. Jones the
ground around these young trees
should be we'll spaded and culti-
waited to give the roots of the trees
a chance to grow. This is partic-
ularly important where the trees
are planted in Bermuda grass on
lawns and parkways. The trees,
Mrs. Jones states, will make double
the growth next year if they are
kept trimmed and the ground
around them cultivated. They
should be trimmed of all branches
until at least five feet tall.
In emphasizing the need for
care if these trees are to show the
best results, Mrs. Jones reported
to chamber of commerce headquar-
tiers that some of the finest trees
of last years planting may be
seen in front of the E. T. Sanders
residence on South Sixth street,
the Fred Riddle home at Fifth
and Hamilton and the home OF
Elmer Heald at 665 Sandalwood
Drive. Other trees that have
shown remarkable growth because
of the care given them may be
seen in the western part of the
city at the homes of Murray Foss,
w. S. Harris, M. E. MCGEE, George
w. Damron, John r. Hunter and
Leo Madden. Exceptionally fine
trees are also growing at the Frank
Modem home at 773 He'll and Cleo
McCary's residence at GOT Bright
on.
Mrs. Jones states that, as a re-
suit of last years activities OF the
tree planting committee, the peo-
pie of Ell Centre have awakened
to the value of trees and shrubbery
and more persons are making
paintings in their gardens and
identifying their homes than ever
before. More shrubbery has been
sold this fall than has ever before
been sold in the same period, in
dicating that the people of Ell Cen
tro have finally awakened to the
Importance of trees and Shrubbery
around their homes and to the need
of Identification of the streets OF
Ell Centre.
The Ell Centre chamber tree
planting committee urges that
persons planning on improving
their premises make their plant
ings now, as this is the ideal time
for planting of trees, evergreens
and shrubs in this city if one de-
sires prompt and steady growth.

Camomile tea will impart
golden glimmers to blonde hair

leaves, steep slowly for five
minutes in a quart Of water,
cool and strain. After the hair
has been shampooed, while it
is still wet, hold the head over
a wash basin. trickle on the
tea, moving the air so as to
distribute it. Keep dipping it up
from the bowl. pouring over the
glorious crown again and again.

Suggestions for

Oven fried potatoes are simple
to make. Boil small potatoes
for 8 minutes. Cut in quarters,
place in a we'll creased shallow
baking dish and pour 2 or 3
tablespoons melted fat over the
potatoes. Sprinkle lightly with
salt and bake in a hot oven
until well Drowned and tender.
Baste several times during the
baking with the fat in the dish
and turn the potatoes after
they have baked for IS
minutes.
When interest in breakfast
lags try a meal of creamed
salt Goldfish. or some steamed
smoked bloaters, or broiled salt
maekerel. It is surprising how
good it will taste. Freshen the
salt fish by soaking in cold
water for several hours or over
night, according to the type Of
fish. Creamed salt Goldfish Is
especially good when the salted
filletS of cod are used.

Since we are all, fundamen-
tally speaking, mighty primi-
tive, it follows that the desire
to go "low-brow'' at times must
be fairly prevalent. Indeed,
such is actually the case. No
matter how cultured and re-
fined a person may be, there
Is no gainsaying the thrill he
gets when now and again he
lets go and acts his own ami
maliStic self.
Of course there are limits to
how low one should go. We
should never act like savages.
Social standards must be re-
Spected, no matter how great
the urge to kick them out of
the way. Yet, when all is said
and done, it is not so much
this sort of repression that we
must fear, but rather the con-
ServativenesS and conventional
ism that holds us back and
prevents us from having a low
brow fling of any kind what
Soever.
Take music. There are those
who would like to revel in q
tune like "Tipperary" or Sweet
Rosie O'Grady," or to dance
and whistle some lively jazz.
Their bringing-up and back
ground. however, forbid it! In
stead, they fLn't feel at ease
unless they sing an opera aria
or swing to the rnythms of
the Blue Danube"

perhaps a little. but you know
the type of individual I mean.
He is so taken up with what
OTHER people will think Of him
if he acts natural that he sell
dom. if ever, has a real good
time.
What we must realize is that
every member of the human
family has low-brow tendencies,
no matter who or what he may
be. In this respect we are not
all alike. People differ one from
the other in intelligence and
emotional pattern, as they diff
fer one from the other in the
shape and length of the nose.
But whatever the mental make
up, the call for a harmless
fling now and again surely
should be indulged without COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience.

been told several times that I

There is no girl in my set

Interesting Bridge Hands
By E. V. SHEPARD

To see how trumps lay, the
lowest trump was led from
dummy. The K won the tricG>
BIS showing out disclosed the
unpleasant fact that a trump
trick must be lost, and that Q
finesse must be ventured either
in clubs or diamonds. The fact
that A had led a suit that both
declarer and dummy had bid,
instead of the clubs, that only
dummy had bid, gave some rea-
son to think that A held the
missing K. of clubs. Whether
or not A held the K. of dia-
mondS he would not want to
make an opening lead of the
suit up to its bidder. 2 could
not afford to ruff three dia-
monds, as ruffing with dummy's
@. would give A two trump
tricks. z wished that he had
ruffed three diamonds before
he had led a spade.
The third lead was rs lone
Club. A finesse Of dummy's j
won the trick. and the declar-
er's lowest Diamond was dis
carded on dummy's Ace of
Clubs.
1t would have been reckless
to take a finesse in Diamonds.
Dummy's lone Diamond was
led and the Ace won the trick.
The Z of Diamonds was
triumped by dummy.
It would enable z to pick up
the remainder of AS trumps
if that player ruffed a Heart,
so the declarer led dummy's
Ace of Hearts. :hen he led a
low Heart, winning the trick
with his Z. A followed suit.
When the declarer led his
last Diamond, of course A could
have ruffed, but that would
have done no good, so A dis
carded a Club. Dummy trumped
with the 9.
Thus far the declarer had
won nine tricks and lost none.
The tenth lead was won with
dummy's Q of Spades. z led a
Club from dummy and trumped
with his lowest Spade. He led
his Ace of Spades and won his
twelfth trick, but he had to
give A the last trick of the
hand, barely fulfilling his small
slam contract by excellent
strategy.

Or piping Story by Author
Of The FIapper WIFE

The floor was painted choco-
late-brown and there was a rug
in front Of the dresser and an
other one beside the bed.
The door of the clothes closet
stood open and within were
Kim's suits, banging in a neat
row. His shoes stood on the
floor beneath them.
Mary Faith walked across the
room and looked at them...
Ten pairs of shoes and some
straw bath slippers!
A curtain rod was tackled
on the inside of the closet door
and his neckties dangled from
it. NecktieS of every color and
pattern. Polkadotted ties,
striped ties, black ties to be
worn with his dinner jacket,
wash-silk ties for summer wear.
So many of them that Mary
Faith couldn't begin to count
them.
"He must have a hundred,
though, easily" she was think.
ing when he came into the
room.
Aren't you the Beau Brum-
MEL" she began and stopped.
His face was like a storm cloud
and he had on his hat and
overcoat.
His Little Plan
"Come on-let's get out of
here" he said gruffly. "We'll
drive around and see if the
Maldons are at home. I could
stand a little cheerful converse
tion for a change, couldn't
you?"
Mary Faith glanced down at
the five suitcases piled in the
middle of the floor.
Don't you think we ought to
stay here and get settled to-
night? You'll have to get up
so early tomorrow morning and
you look awfully tired, Kim.

terrupted her. IF you want to
stay here, stay! But I'm going.
He turned and went, and
Mary Faith followed him, get
ting into her coat as she flew
after him. In silence they got
into the car and in silence
they drove down Wilton Street.
The Maldons lived on the top
floor of a tall apartment house
that overlooked the east side of
Haltnorth Park.
Kim pushed their door bell
five times and stood smiling
to himself as he and Mary
Faith waited for the door to be
opened. The sound of soft
phonograph music on the other
side of the door stopped sud-
denly and then came Clair
Maldon's voice: "Jack, that's
Sandy Farrell's ring"
The door was thrown open
and she stood on the threshold,
shaking hands with both of
them at once.
"How grand to see you both!"

"A Mn
Charming
FASHIONS By Wilma La Vile

you've PROBABLY Deen I'M
pressed with the fairly sudden
return to favor of beads for
trimming. They're popular as
banding, straps, or covering the
whole yoke of a dress, or the
jacket. Constance Bennett wears
a beautiful white gown with
crystal beads marking the i'm
portant lines, in a current num-
ber Of a fashion magazine. At
the same time we read that
they are much used in Paris,
and in very much the same
way. Beading, or trimming Of
any kind, isn't replacing the
perfectly plain evening clothes
that have such chic, but bead
ing especially is certainly max
ing big inroads on the exclu-
sive place that the plain things
have held in the mode for such
a long time.
Etched with Beads
Many women, wanting to
freshen UP a frock and make
it look newer, have bought lit
tie beaded jackets to go with
their simple crepe or satin
dresses. Others are wearing a
smart dress that you see here
and there about town, a two
piece affair with the top bead
ed all over, and the skirt of
plain crepe. Still other gowns
have beading here and there to
accent a good point or line, or
tiny beaded shoulder epaulets,
or a beaded capelet. Occasion
ally you see a gown beaded all
over in light design, graceful
and lovely, for the weight Of
the beads make for excellent
lines. Crystal and bugle beads
seem to be the most popular,
though none of them are used
with ostentation, or so that
they outshine the dress in a
glaring manner.
A Convertible
The simplest way to achieve
the new beaded vogue is to buy
a gown with an accompanying
beaded jacket. There are lovely
ones in town, some with a cape
instead of a jacket, and others
with a tiny bolero, beaded all
over. Jackets are nearly al
ways short and loose, easily
slipped off, but when they are
on they look like they were
made right onto the dress.
We've sketched a particularly
lovely gown, made of Semirough
crepe in black, hyacinth or vivid
red, with a jacket beaded in
crystal bugle beads. The gown
has a surplice closing, and is
smart without the jacket, but
is even better with its little
glittering coat that makes it
suitable for many occasions
that are not extremely formal.
It is priced at $29.50 in a local
store.
For further fashion infOrma-
ton, or for the name Of the
store where you can find this
dress, write Miss Laville, en-
