Nobody would describe Una Merkel as being

Since the release of "She Done Him Wrong

doubt about her continuing on the screen for
some time to come.
There might be a doubt raised as to the
status of Joan Blondell, but the prevailing
opinion seems to be that she is best described
as pert rather than beautiful. Her success,
however, is one point on which there is no
room for argument
She is always in demand, SO much so that

Mrs. Smith did not believe the capital would

It might have been best if Congress had gone
elsewhere where the people had national repre-
sentation and could have protected themselves
from burdenscme taxation and the other ills
we have to bear, due to the fact that We are
unable to make ourselves heard in the halls
of Congress-that Congress provided for us the
Constitution, set up by our forefathers for all
men alike.
In 1914 Capt Doughtys farm was separated
from Sidney cnly by the road. Prior to the
Civil War the near neighbors to this place were
w. W. Corcoran, who, in 1872, sold his estate
Harwood of 191 acres to the Soldiers Home,
and whose Summer residence is still standing
near the home dairy. Mr.. Corcoran purchased
this property in 1852 from the Breckenridge
heirs Mrs. R. S. Wood had farm nearby, as
did Col j. Bro ks, N. L. Queen and others.
A BOUT 1885 Samuel Harrison Smith sold
Sidney. most likely to James Middleton,
father of Erasmus j. Middleton, for the name
J. Middleton appears on an early map of this
section. In all probability the property de-
scended to his son, before mentioned, since the
later plats give the sons name.
The first farm of 256 acres purchased for the
Soldiers Home waSsbought of George w. Riggs,
and his country residence, known as the Ander-
son cottage, just west Of the Scott Building is
still standing in gcod condition. For many
years it served as the Presidents Summer home,
and it was here that President Lincoln wrote
the draft of the Emancipation Proclamation in
July 1862 for which we have his own words
'T put the draft OF the proclamation aside wait
ing for a victory. Well, the next news we had
was of Popes disaster at Bull Run. Things
looked darker than ever Finally came the
week of the battle of Antietam. I determined
to wait no longer. The news came, think, on
Wednesday that the advantage was on our side
was then staying at the Soldiers Home. Here
finished writing the second draft Of the procla-
nation came up on Saturday, called the cabinet
together to hear it and it was published the
following Monday. I made solemn vow before
God that if Gen. Lee driven back from
Maryland would crown the result by the
declaration of freedom to the slaves"
Samuel Harrison Smith bought the property
Tor $40 an acre and sold it for $4,000. The
Catholic University of America paid for the
land. $4,000.

Department Store.


Mr.. Campbell has been with
the Penney Company for Is
years, formerly manager of
Penney Stores in Muncie and
Bedford. He is a local man
and spent his boyhood days
in Indianapolis. The burden
of responsibility for the sue
cess of this new department
store, which opens here to-
morrow, falls on the shoulders
of Mr.. Campbell. His wide
experience and years of serv-
ice fit him for the job.

Mr.. Penney was born in Ham,

of a Baptist minister. In April,

town of Kemmerer, WyO.,
with capitalization of $4,000.

Depression Reason for
Increase in Badness?

One of the human interest items
discussed at the annual meeting OF
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science has attracted
less attention than 1t deserved. One
of the delegates noted an apparent
increase in badness in the past two
or three years and raised the Ques-
ton of its probable relation to the
depression. 1t was his belief that
close connection exists between hir-
suite health and financial well-being
and that condition of hairlessness
is promoted by worry during a pc
riod of economic stress.
The world has always regarded
hair as in the nature of a vegetable
growth on an animal base. Do lux
uriant crops depend on rich soil or
are they the result of carefree dis
position? Is hair physical in cause
as well as effect, or is it a physical
phenomenon produced by mental con-
tent and destroyed by mental pertur-
baton? What would be the effect
on penniless, bald-headed man who
might suddenly come into possession
of a million dollars? Does mones
make the hair grow? There are
thousand and one questions of pro-
found interest that may be raised
by this scientific suggestion. 1t real
ly seems as if the scientists ought tn
do something about it.-Providence
Journal.

GRAY SUEDE SHOES
FOR AUTUMN WEAR

Rivaling the conventional browns
and blacks are the new gray suede
or kid oxfords and sandals for wear
with early fall clothes.
Much gray is promised in street and
sportswear this season, and gray ac-
cessories promise to be more popular
than ever. Gray shoes have already
made their appearance with dark blue
or black street frocks, and light-col-
ored sports clothes this summer.
The new shades for fall are varied.
There is gun gray. flint. and brownish
taupe which blends with many shades.
Gray shoes will be worn with dark
coats trimmed with gray fur, and they
also look smart with black, navy, and
certain shades of brown.
Hosiery with slightly gray cast
is being shown to take the place of
the clear beige and sun-tan shades of
the summer. Taupe, which may be
worn with black or brown, and beige
with gray rather than a yellow cast,
are popular colors. These are more
attractive than hosiery in a pure gray
shade.

IT'S time for a new hat-somethlng
that will supply note of autumn
chic to ones midseason costumes.
Well. if you are asking it's either
velvet or satin for your first" cha
peau. That is If you do not choose
one of the new stitched wool crepes
or wide-brimmed felt.
Perhaps the way the new crowns
have of maneuvering into high peaks
Is the most outstanding gesture of
smartest autumn headgear Some of
the toques and turbans have the fun
niest little topknot arrangements fancy
can picture.
The draped velvet toque sketched
to the left at the top in the picture
illustrates the new spiral peaked
movement perfectly. With a bright lit
tie feather thrust through Its topmost
point this chic fall model Is about
as pert and gay as the milliner's magic
touch can make it.
From high peaks to low back-to-
front gliding lines is far cry. but
it goes to show how very versatile
are the incoming hat fashions.
The little boat-shaped hat sketched
to the right at the top reveals a dis
position on the part Of designers to
create oblong silhouettes with shall
low crowns. They make 1t point to
stress interesting eyeline effects as
they dip these boatlike models over
the brow. Note the cluster Of wee
ostrich tips. Which is just one way
of telling you of the Importance Of
feather trims for fall and winter. Not
only are hats trimmed with all sorts
of sprightly quilts and graceful os-
trich, but feathers adorn the costume
throughout, little capelets and neck
wear items made of them being espe-
cially good this season.
Especially noteworthy Is the cunning
hat with a veil which Is sketched In
the center. The distinctive thing about
it is that it follows along Chinese
lines. It belongs to the peaked-crown

class as you see. There Is another
type hat which is very similar to the
Chinese model as shown here We re-
fer to the 'pill-box' turbans which
certainly look the part-little fiat
round affairs just the shape of a
pill-box. You have to be young and
good looking and be a past master In
the art of knowing how to wear hats
to "carry" this style effectively. They
demand a little veil to soften their
lines.
The three artist-sketches below also
bespeak important fashion trends. To
the left a voguish "set" is illustrated,
for you must know that hat-and-cape
ensembles are going to be "all the
style" during the coming months. The
hat is draped. emphasizing tendency
which Is widely followed in the new
showings. That Is the drape mounts

made Of a very new stitched wooden
fabric which has slightly fuzzy sur

wear.
And now about the trio of models
which were photographed and here re-
produced in order to illustrate "last
word" millinery fashions. Black satin

toque at the center top. Wide-brimmed
cape lines are very much in the style

right is of black velvet and Ii has a
gay beaded band.

Long Slumbers Denied to Coptic "Patriarchs"

practice would seem to take some of

Around about the beginning of this
century the Copts totaled about one
twelfth of all the population of Egypt
They dress like Mohammedans. but
may be distinguished by their blue or
black turbans.
The center of the Coptic population
is around Cairo, although the members
are generously scattered all over
northern Egypt. The young of the
Copts are highly intelligent and learn
easily when at school They have
been found to make excellent clerks
