day wear.
Day dresses are notify being
shown in lightweight tweeds in
plain colors. For evening dresses a
new and attractive material known
as "Angel-skin jersey" is much in
evidence. This material gives the
appearance of heavy silk stockin-
cite. In pursuance of the aim to
retain simplicity, there is little
trimming on any of the clothes, and
artificial flowers, which last year
were considered vital to- every fash
ionable evening dress, are no longer
worn.
It is said that representatives of
many French dressmaking estah-
HshmentS are here at present,
studying the latest British models
and certain amount of resent
ment is felt by the British designers
against the alleged piracy of
French firms of distinctive British
creations.

f, That was Felix Kent. For the

She forgot her attendant inquisi-
tors. She sat up straight, command
ing the cruel bewildered thrcbting
OF her head, and as the door opened
she rose slowly to her feet
Felix Kent, staring down at her,
turned scarlet and his eyes changed.
He drew in his breath, put up one
hand, let it fall and mastered his
face. He turned to the men.
Here, let me alone with her a
moment. | think I've seen the girl
before. There's more in this /.
This is hardly a,police matter. I'll

under the force his will had put
upon it but smoothed itself immed-

The men, curious, grimly amused
and cynical, went willingly away.
The greasy door was closed. Felix
waited. He moved close to Jocelyn,
caught her wrists in his two hands
and drew them up to his breast,
pulling her near to him in a ges-
ture that was passionately posses
slve, furious, masterful.

She found herself whispering,
"Three-eight. Three turns to the

The right way is Phillips Milk of

Lozv Prices did Menu-Balanciug

THE present era of low prices for foodstuffs,
particularly fruits has been ideal for the
followers of the "acid-ash alkaline ash" school
of dieting.
Under this method of menu balancing it is
customary to eat two or three foods the residue
of which is alkaline for each food which has
an acid reaction. Such diet naturally places
great reliance fruits for the alkaline reac-
tions, practically all fruits but plums and
prunes falling in the alkaline group. The cit
rus fruits. while acid are in reality alkaline
in their final state.
The theory on which the diet is built is that
the blood maintains itself in an alkaline state
When the food has a preponderance of acid
content this acid is carried in the blood stream
to various parts of the body, where it is ousted
from the blood into the tissues. with
sultant loss to the tissues. The carborlic acid
which is generated from the digestion of the
Carbohydrates Is thrown off through the lungs.
The acid foods, naturally. contain food ele-
ments highly essential to growth and mainte-
nance of the body, but the acid residue is held
by exponents of the diet to be harmful and
therefore they assure the naturalization of the
acid by the preponderance of alkaline foods
The diet is easily worked out, for the foods
clearly grouped All meats, fish eggs, fowl,
nuts and cereals fall in the acid class, along
with prunes, plums, coffee, tea and cocoa. In
the alkaline group fall all vegetables, including
the starchy potatoes, all dairy products and
fruits.
Spinach, Of course, leads the list of the al
kalines showing 113 units of alkaH per hun
dred calores with lettuce chard cucumbers,
celery and figs we'll up on the list.
On the acid side, oysters rank at the top,
with 80 units per hundred calories, and sea
foods in general rank high. Chicken is far more
acid than pork chops for instance. and the
cereals are near the bottom of the lirt.

Danger From Quicksands
Greatly E1aggeruted

OUICKsANDs. the danger of which has
been grossly exaggerated through myth
lcal tales of the past, are caused largely by the
TACT that the sand of which they are composed
is underlain with heavy clay. The clay, being
lmpenetrable to water, keeps the sand above
In such moist condition that concentrated
weights cannot be borne on the surface
Inc belief that quicksands suck" their VIC
inns down is erroneous, of course for the action
is rather the pushing downward of the weight
ABOVE. Because of its wet nature, the sand is
lorced aside as the sinking object goes down
and then forced back by it's own weight with
increasing pressure as the foreign object goes
deeper 1t is this pressure from the side to-
gether with the bottomless nature of the sand
that gives the impression of pull from below.
PERSONS caught in denser quicksands can
often save themselves by lying out fiat, thus
distributing their weight over much greater
area than the narrow expanse of their feet
The quicksands usually found around the
mouths OF large rivers or bays where tide water
keeps the sands contPntly stirred up and wet.

A little later, in corner of the deserted

and l. You didn't know it; but We two formed
sort OF partnership, before you ever left home.
The commodity we've handled Bill, is-you.
Since you've been in San Gabriel it's been
easy to keep tabs on you. President Pena is
my friend. Through him I've just landed a
power and light concession. He's been trying
to find you today to give you that job you
