It is hard to describe the
new clothes with accuracy.
They have more richness,
magnificence, luxuriousness,
yet it is a simple elegance.
Frills and furbelows are
gone, and in their place we
have lovely and interesting
fabrics, covering the human
body in the most flattering
manner. Every good curve
is suggested beneath the
cloth.
Lines and important points
are accented by little touches
of beading, bits of embroi-
dery, fagoting, or some
other bit of finery, but it is
never done in a fussy man.

shot through fabrics, used
in bags, shoes and much of
it in gowns and wraps.
Jewelry is important only
as part of the costume and
should always be chosen to
60 with a particular gown.
There are many lovely old
fashioned pieces to go with
Victorian costumes and some
stunning modern things
for the sleek gowns of to-
day. Bracelets are much in
evidence, and so are clips
and huge brooches. Real
jewels are worn ny all who
can possibly afford them.
Fall handbags for afternoon
use are in many shapes and
styles. They gain their
main interest, however, from
their very unusual fabrics,
and the way those materials
are used.

 Attorney Nathaniel R. Bronson, counsel for the receivers. stated that 1t Is impossible to collect all these accounts and the institution of civil suits to collect them would be Q useless expense.
 He said, in his opinion. 1t would not be good business. to bring any action against the church because it is a church corporation and that services are being held in tho building that is mortgaged. Tho American Legion, he said Is not a church, nor is 1t Q business, but 1t appeared not to be good business to bring any action in that respect either.
 Judge Newell Jennings said that while he did not agree with At- torney Bronson, the necessary or- ders could be prepared.

SPANISH 'JAILER'
 MODERN IN WORK
Famous Prison Character Seeks Finance For
 Freedom Fight

Montreal -CUP)- The famous Spanish prisoner" who has been in jail since the days of the war of the Spanish succession, has bought a mimeograph to aid him in his task of finding someone to finance his fight for freedom.
 During the last few weeks at least 30 Montreal merchants have received letters from tho mythical prisoner. who is offering to give one-third of a huge fortune he has hidden away to anyone who lends him enough money to renew his fight for freedom.
 Apparently tired of writing so many letters by hand, the prisoner now is using a mimeograph. The tetxt of every letter received here is exactly alike. The names of the 30 addresses are cleverly inserted In ink of the same kind and color as that used in the mimeograph.

SHERIFF AND CORONER

One figure stands out in all the sorry
mess at San Jose as deserving OF the
commendation of his felloW-citlzens-
Sheriff William Emig.
Included in the commendation for the
sheriff are his deputies who fought with
him to the last ditch to live up to the
oaths they had taken.
Sheriff Emig had plenty Of arms and
ammunition, including a machine gun,
with which he could have dispersed the
mob bent on lynching Holmes and Thur
mond, had he wished to go to the extent
of opening fire on the attackers. He
would have been justified under the law
in doing so, but the sheriff did not give
the order, wisely reckoning that it was
not worth taking the lives of Well-lnten-
toned but reckless men, to protect the
skins of two worthless wretches.
By limiting his resistance to the use of
tear gas, clubs and even bare fists, when
the fighting got to close quarters, the
sheriff spared the state what would have
amounted massacre, the mob not be-
ing armed with guns so far as known.
Sheriff Emig showed discretion far
surprising that of the governor of the
state, who before the mob acted and
since, has been giving a lamentable eX-
to keep quiet.
Much as one might like to, it is impos-
sible to divorce James Rolph Jr.. from the
Governor of California. Whatever the
former says is credited to the governor
of this state. When the governor says
for publication that he would like to pa
role two men already serving sentences
to the patriotic people of San jose, for
punishment, he probably forgot about
Jack Green
Green is still alive in San Quentin,
thanks to the governor, who has re-
prieved him half a dozen times, although
he was found guilty of killing a police
officer who was trying to prevent a crime,
and although his accomplice has already
been hanged. What incentive is there for
a police officer to risk his life in uphold
ing the law when above him is a COVER
nor who coddles cold-blooded slayers?
Sheriff Emig did his duty to the best
of his ability under the circumstances.
The governor failed in his duty but even
this would be forgiven him if he would
just keep quiet and stop making bad
matter worse.

UNCLE WIGGLLY AND THE PII

After Uncle Wiegi1y finished
busting the piano and soaring away
the Bob Cat by playing thunder
storm music, as I told you in the
story last night, the rabbit gentle
man thought he would go out and
look for something to do.
Il don't exactly need an adven-
ture, he said to himself as he
tWinkled his pink nose, for 1 have
just had one. But I can get no
peace and quiet in my bungalow
while my wife and Nurse Jane are
getting ready for Thanksgiving.
Perhaps can rest myself out in
the woods and fields"
So saying, having hung up the
old piece Of shirt rag with which he
had busted the piano, Mr.. Longear5
hoped out on his front porch and
looked up and down the path. He
saw Mr.. Twistytail, his fat pig, wad-
ding along.
I'll catch up to Twisty and walk
with him." decided Mr.. Longears.
He is peaceful and quiet and to-
gether we shall be happy"
1t did not take Mr.. Longears long
to catch up to the fat pig, since Mr..
TWistytail could not walk or wad-
die very fast. Hearing the rabbit
shuffling along behind him, Mr..

Twistytail turned around and said:
Hello, Wiggy, where are you 60

ears. where are you going
"No place" grunted the pig.
Then let's go there togetherp'
said Uncle Wiggily with a laugh
I'll walk half the way and you can
walk the other half and thus we
shall get there twice as quickly as
if only one of US went"
Surely" grunted Mr.. TWistytail
So the two jolly friends went
along together over the fields and
through the woods, and after a
while Mr.. Twistytail asked:
why didn't you stay at home
Wiggy?'
"Oh, there's too much going on
there was the answer. you know;
getting ready for Thanksgiving =
making cakes and pies and pud-
dings."
THE same at my house." grunt-
ed the pig. You should see the bic
pumpkin pie my wife has baked fol

the rabbit gentleman. You shoulc
see the big pumpkin pie my wife
and Nurse Jane baked. It's twice a'

and then they began to laugh.
How silly of US" said Uncle
Wiggily, ito be talking this way
like children. beg your pardon"
And I beg yours" grunted the
pig. Still my pie is the biggest"
"Nonsense!" cried Uncle Wiggily,
and the dispute might have begun
all over again had not a cute lit
tie Squiggle Bug buzzed and said:
why don't you TWO measure your
pies, one beside the other, and then
you can tell which is the larger"
That's the thing to do!" cried
Uncle Wiggily. Come on, TWisty!
I'll get my pumpkin pie and show It
to you. You can see how large it is.
Then We'll go to your house and
look at your pie and I'll see how
large that is. Then we shall know
the truth"
"Fine!" grunted the jolly fat pig.
We'll go to your bungalow first.
But I'm sure my pie will be larger"
mo, mine WILL said Uncle Wig
gily.
"Mine!" yelled the pig.
"Mine!" shouted the rabbit.
"Oh, run along and look at your
pies and don't talk SO muchn
buzzed the Squiggler, and the two
friends laughed again and away
they went to the hollow stump bun
galoW.
where's my big pumpkin pie?"
asked Uncle Wiggily of his wife.
What do you want of it?' she
asked.
ITO show Twisty," he said. So he
carried the pie out to the back door
where the pig waited. Some one else
was also waiting at the back door.
1t was the Fuzzy Fox, waiting for
the rabbit. But just as the Bad
Chap leaped up out of the bushes
to catch Mr.. Longears the bunny
saw him and lifting up the pump
kin pie he smashed it down in the
face of the Fox, smearing his eyes,
nose and mouth.
"Ho! Ho! Pie face! Pie facet
grunted the pig as the Fox ran
away. Uncle Wiggily was sorry he
had spoiled his pie but it was bet
ter than being nibbled. Mr.. Tv/ty-
tail who had seen the bunny's pie
bef,Ne it went into the face of the
Fox, generously said it was the
larger of the two, so the dispute
ended and everything was o. x.
