bespeaking the aliuringly feminine
as no other form of decoration
seems to have, which Is exactly the
point we wish to stress, namely,
that the call Of the present mode is
for lovely ingenue types in frocks
which "say 1t" via quaint wide
fiOunces and countless wee ruffles
and ruchings and cunning puffs and
the like.
The exquisitely sheer materials,
chiefly organdies, chiffons, NOUS
sellne de sole, dotted swisses and
cotton nets upon which fashion
places such unmistakable emphasis
this season, yield so gracefully to
this form Of ornamentation it is no
wonder that veritable riot of ruff
fles and such now adorn the mode.
There is nothing conventional
about the new ruffled effects. AS a
matter of fact, ruffles and their near
relations such as puffs and frills of
various sorts are performing the
most audacious capers imaginable.
They are as apt to run up and down
the length Of skirt as to go around
and around. or perhaps they will go
into g huddle on each shoulder or
play merry-gO-round in dozens and
dozens of tiny ruffles which achieve
knee-depth hemline, and when
they form themselves into little di-
aphanous shoulder capes made of
organdie or sheer mOusseline as
many ruffles have a habit of doing
this season, it would seem as if
fancy could conceive of nothing
more flattering in the way of fem
mime adornment
Just to show you how perfectly
lovely ruffles can be when handled
by an artist who knows lines we
are illustrating in the foreground of

Catches and Eats Fish

Sydney. N. S. W.-During the last
flood In Darling a stockman was
swept off his horse. He finally
scrambled into a tree, where he
was perched for two days, but hun
ger didn't worry him. He captured
a frog that had also taken refuge
in the tree, and attaching it to his
stockwhip as bait. caught a small
cod.
How to cook it? He cut a piece
Of bark with his knife, fixing it
firmly among the branches and max
ing fire-after drying his matches.
He plucked dry branches from the
tree and built fire to cook the fish.
He still was serenely fishing when
a boat came along and rescued him.

story OF a cowhand who went to
sleep and dreamed he played Romeo

like my work in this one a lot, but
they had a sales convention at the
studio and showed the film TO the
gang. Although l thought the pic
ture was very funny. the boys
seemed TO think different and re-
fused to laugh. At the time l was
nearly heartbroken, | felt that |
was a flop and was about ready to
quit pictures. Gosh, 1t was awful
wasn't writing much in those
days. although since then the pa
pers seem to like my stuff and pay
me for making wise cracks. which
doesn't make me a bit sore.
For recreation | used TO keep
some horses and goats on the lot
back of the studio, and I spent most
of my time enjoying the compan-
iOnship OF dumb but honest animals.
They couldn't laugh at me. Which
was encouraging
From Goldwyn's I went to work
for Hal Roach and made series of
2-reel comedies there.
| remember when | was in the
Follies. All l did was my rope act,
and | didn't say nothing. But one
evening the manager asked me to
make an announcement, and foolish
ly | did, and everybody laughed at
me or with me, and / was a sue
cess. and they've kept me talking or
writing ever since. That's what
comes of talking too much and try
ing to help some one out. Now I
can't stop.
But wise cracks and picture work
pay better than the rope-throwin'
act, and that saves my feelings lot.
Sam Rork, who produced "A Tex
as Steer" in which l got the big
comedy part of congressman who
was a Texas cowman, says he
picked me out of all the Hollywood
actors because all the rest of them
have morality clauses in their con-
tracts and are afraid to act like
congressman.
But l figured it out that it's be-
cause 1 was in the Follies. I'm an
ex-Follies graduate, and If Barry
more had my legs, he could still be
on the stage.
But I'd been in the movies before

I've been in more punkin' seed
movies, and most of the job was
handling the rope. But that was
smart movie, a comedy special
they called it, and all l had to do
was act the big comedy part Of be-
ing a congressman. That's a clnch.
Any day in the week any congress
man I've known can give me big
laugh acting natural.
My advise to aspiring movie
struck folk is to buy a good 12-foot
rope, practice with 1t, and then If
you don't succeed. why. you can al
ways stretch it over a nearby tree

this picture a dream Of a gown"
designed by Lyolene of Paris. This
charming debutante dance frock Is
fashioned of an all-white chiffon of
bemberg. 1t does not seem possible,
to look at this exquisite sheer weave,
that it launders beautifully, but it
does. Not only that, but it is
wrinkle proof. The narrow rose
velvet sash which ties in simple
bow at the back gives just the right
touch of color.
If you like dotted swiss you will
be charmed with the dress shown to
the left in the group. For this model
Of pale blue dotted swiss is COM
bined with white organdie. Look
close and you will discover that the
little bodice of swiss fastens in
points at the front over a semi
blouse of the organdie. Puffs on
the sleeves of the Organdie give that
sprightly youthful silhouette which
is characteristic of all gowns this
season which are made of the popu-
lar starched sheers.
AS to the girlish frock pictured to
the right, isn't it just a darling !"
We think it is. 1t is made of quaint
checked rgandie-white and any
color which suits your fancy best.
See how fitted-to-a-nicety is the
skirt about the hips. Young girls
insist on this sleek, slim silhouette
for their newer gowns. The broad
ruffle which is cut on the bias is
sewed on with heading" The

about the neckline, and the large
bow tell the story of present fashion
trends most eloquently. The girdle

cents TO its owner for his labor.
Including all chickens culled from
the flock during the year. the av-
erage return was 81 cents a bird.
Prices received for the eggs va

Cholera Epidemic
Kills Ohio Hogs
Vaccination Is Ad-

Several outbreaks OF hog cholera
are reported from widely separat-
ed places in Ohio. and the disease
is rapidly spreading. The preven-
ton of cholera by vaccination of
the pigs before the disease makes
its appearance in a community Is
advocated. The annual loss to the
state from this disease approaches
100000 pigs, and this year. reports
Indicate that more than the usual
amount Of trouble MAJ be expected
IL is not necessary 10 wait until
the pigs are weaned in order to
vaccinate them. The proper time
for vaccination Is when the pigs
are five or six weeks old. but they
may be voccinated safely at one
week OF age. Hogs that have
previously been vaccinated are i'm
mune to the disease.
Hog cholera takes two forms. In
the acute form the hogs quickly
sicken and die, often In three days.
In the chronic type the hogs may
linger for several weeks.
When cholera first appears In a
herd only two or three may become
sick. These refuse to eat and re-
main In their nest. refusing TO be
driven out. The sick animals hunch
their backs and shiver, later be
come gaunt and stagger. The hogs
become constipated; later diarrhea
sets In, and as the disease pro-
crosses. red or purple spots appear
on the skin Of the ears, belly, and
under the fanks.
The present outbreak Is gaining
rapidly because fewer farmers this
year cared to spend the money
necessary for preventive treatment.
Last year there was practically
none of the disease in the state.

SAYS
WARNING UPON
LABOR TIMELY

Action of the Ell Centre Chamber
OF Commerce urging that warnings
be sent out Immediately to other
sections Of the country advising
persons looking for work that there
is sufficient labor in Imperial VAL
ley at the present time TO take care
of our needs was very timely ac-
cording to 4 report made to the
chamber staff yesterday by local
merchant.
TIE merchant based his CON-,
ments on the fact that he had a
visitor at his store yesterday who
was from Iowa and had come here
with his family to be ready to go
TO work ON the All-American canal
This Iowa visitor said that word
has gone out in Iowa that tens Of
thousands" of men will be needed
ON the All-American canal con-
struction and that dozens OF men
in his community have started or
are starting for Imperial Valley in
order to be on the ground when
construction is started.
Robert Hays, manager of the FL
Centre Chamber of Commerce, has
asked the United Press and Asso-
ciated Press to publish in all parts
of the country items tC tie effect
that no labor will be needed on ih''
All-American canal if and when
construction of the canal has been
authorized. Hays has done this
fearing there will be a repetition
of conditions which existed al Las
Vegas ana Boulder dam when con-
struction of the dam was started
end thousands of people were
canped on the banks of the Clio
lado river waiting for work.
Press dispatches, Hays states
should also carry the informaticn
that contracts involving the expen'
diture Of federal money provide that
the labor shall be drawn only from
local, eligible lists supplied by a
government employment office. TIE
government . has already supplied
such an office in Ell Centre with
Chan Livingston in charge to see
that local men with dependent are
