WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. - Tips
for milady when she buys her new
fur coat this fall
Whatever series of names is ap-
piled to identify a garment, heed
the last one, for that must be the
correct one under rules adopted by
NRA code administrators under
the retail furrier's code.
No longer need buyer get rab-
bit fur under the impression that
is sealskin. Fur rules adopted by
NRA specify:
To describe fur, in every case
the correct name of the fur must
be the last word of the deScrip-
ton, and if any dye or blend is
used Stimulating another fur, the
word dyed" must be inserted be-
tween the name signifying the
fur, as 'seal-dyed muskrat" or
mink dyed marmot."
All fur shaded, blended, tipped,
dyed or pointed must be described
as "black-dye fox or pointed
fox"
Where the name of any country
or section is used, it shall be the
actual country of the origin of the
fur, as American opossum."
Where goods are sold under a
registered trademark, it should not
/ by intent or otherwise be capable
of misinterpretation by the public.
Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the
interior, the new dealer" with the
most jobs, seems to have misgiv-
ings at times as to the many mil
lions he disburses as public works
administrator.
Returning recently from Pennsyl-
vania, the secretary appeared tired
and worn at his press conference.
He yawned openly and confided t.,
newspapermen that he didn't sleep
we'll the previous night.

UP TO THE LAWYERS

1nefe SnOulQ De quite q feSOltllu-
ing "Amen" to the plea of Earle w.
Evans, president of the American
Bar association, that lawyers clean
house by going after the shysters
and tricksters within their ranks.
Addressing the 57th annual con-
vention of the bar association this
week, President Evans turned the
spotlight on crooks in the legal pro-
fession," calling upon the upright
lawyer to expose the crook and the
shyster and drive him out of the
legal profession.
The majority of attorneys, as is
the case with any calling one can
name, are upright, honorable men,
a credit to their profession and to
themselves.
1t is the minority, again as in the
case with any other calling, that
causes all the trouble, bringing dis
repute to the profession and causing
many honest citizens to look askance
at the entire legal fraternity. 1t is
the same old story of one bad apple
in a barrel of good ones.
An enormously large percentage
of Americas leaders in the past GEN.
tury, have been from the legal fra
ternity. They were men who placed
the legal profession on a high plane,
who served their country with de-
votion and, by their conduct and
brilliancy, set the legal profession
upon a pinnacle. Lawyers everywhere
have been looked upon as desir-
able leaders in their communities.
There has been much damage done
to such a splendid reputation in re-
cent years. We have heard it said,
and repeated it ourselves, that in
stead of plowing under every third
row of cotton or butchering every
hog, much of the nations woes would
be eliminated if every third lawyer
was shot.
1t is not as bad as that. To say
that one-third of the lawyers are not
upholding the ethics of their profess
sion is untrue. But there is a good
ly percentage of undesirables in the
legal ranks. Attorneys themselves
admit it. Their president has called
for crusade to drive out the unde-
sirables. Rightly he states that ev-
cry attorney who does not join in
such a crusade Immediately places
himself in danger of being stamped
as an undesirable.
The traditions and the accomplish
ments of the profession are too ad-
mirable to permit them being sacri-
ficed to the shysters.

UNCLE WTGGILY AND THE
CRUMBS

One day when Uncle Wiggily
hoped into the dining room of his
summer seashore cottage after his
forty 1even sixteen rabbit chlIoren
had eaten their breakfasts and
gone out to play, he saw his wife
and Nurse Jane looking at some
thing on the floor.

gily who hadn't yet put on his
spectacles though he had On his
pink twinkling nose. "Is it my
friend the hard crab who has come
back from the ocean?" asked the
bunny gentleman.
mo, it isn't a hard crab" said
Nurse Jane.
IF the crab were here he might
help us pick them up" said Mrs.
Longears.
Pick what up?" asked Mr.. Long

Crumbs" answered his wife.

crumbs of carrot bread and cab

under the table and between the
legs Of two chairs. 80 many

Uncle Wiggily.
who sits in those chairs?" Nurse
Jane asked in her turn.

Wiggily naming two Of his boy rab-
bits. He remembered that they sat
on this side of the table.
Then it was Buster and Custer
who dropped the crumbs" said
their mother. "Oh. those two boys
My heart is almost broken trying

Plans were laid last night by
members of the Ell Centre junior

reception for all school teachers
in the Ell Centre union high school

said Nurse Jane. "And very few OF
the boys. Buster and Custer are
the worst.

said Uncle Wiggily as he hoped
away TO buy a dustpan and brush.
After the next meal, before the
children were allowed to leave the
table to go out to play, Uncle Wig
gily hoped around Rhind each
chair. Under the chairs of Buster
and Custer their father saw many
crumbs scattered on the floor. -

crumbs on the floor when they
eat?" asked Nurse Jane.
Il shall get little dustpan and

each meal, before let the children
go away from the table, will take
look to see who has dropped
crumbs. Whoever has must clean
them up with the dustpan and

dollars. Beginning, therefore, not
this month, but the month after,
Homer would pay Jack Holbrook a
hundred dollars a month until the
car was paid for. The matter Of
interest was ignored. What was
interest between friends? The
question of insurance was also
passed over. Triumphantly, Mari
an drove the new car home.
If a Marques was too good for
an old car, he was too good for her
old clothes and so she made reck'
less purchases at the stores where
she had charge accounts. Unfor.
tunately these were not the shops
she would have preferred to pat
ronize, expensive and extreme; If
ever she fell in love with a dress,
it was sure to be in the most eX'
elusive shop window. One day she
pulled up before such a display
and stood staring at a creation
that might, she thought, have been
designed for her. Only inside that
frock could she realize to the full
her haunting dream Of dancing
with d'Alhues.
They had danced once or twice
in crowded restaurants, in street
clothes. She had loved that, of
course, but it had only tantalized
her because the ecstacy Of such an
experience should have been so
much keener.
When Mrs. Ingram issued invi.
tationS to the dance she was giving
for Millicent HinShaw, Marian, to
her delighted astonishment, was
invited. Now she simply had to
have the enchanting creation that
had fascinated her. The only
question now was, had d'Alhues
also had an invitation. Learning
that he had, she went into the ex-
elusive shop and priced the dress.
It was two hundred and fifty dol.
lars, but Marian, assembling her
dismay, insisted on trying it on.
The materials were silver lame
and Spanish tile chiffon. There
was a clever cut that made the
dress fit about waist and hips like
a second skin. There was no back;
a Slanted front mounted to the
collar bones and was held there
by a rhinestone-fringed neck
strap.
Bizarre
The effect was bizarre, but even
more becoming than she had ex.
pected. Her feminine curves were
alluringly emphasized, and there
was so much bleam and sparkle
about the frock that her lack of
jewels to wear with it did not
matter.
AS Marian had neither two hun.

ing, to get out Of the dress again.
But she said to the Saleswoman,
I'm sure I shall be back for this
dress. I have to talk to my hus-
band about 1t first. Would it be
possible to shave the price? It's
more than I wanted to pay?
"Oh, no, modom. Why, it's a
French model! And it looks mar.
velously on you, I'm certain
modom would enjoy it. I'll try
to keep 1t for you, but Of course
unless you'd care to make a de-
poSit-?"
Marian left twenty-five dollars
and that evening began her cam
paign to get the rest Of the money.

A Mistake
She aWoke a little late next
morning and by the time she'd
bathed, she had scarcely fifteen
minutes left for dressing and
breakfasting, if she were to reach
the office at nine.
In the kitchen Mrs. Mccarthy
was already busy. "You were late
last night" she said, with shade
Of reproach. II heard the clock
strike twelve, and that was a long
time before you came in"
Sorry I woke you. I tried not
to make any noise. What time did
Joe come in?" Cathleen asked to
divert her mother from further
talk of her own short comings.
II didn't hear him at all. The
reason for this became apparent
at that instant for as Mrs. Nc.
Carthy spoke, Joe came into the
house and on into the kitchen
His eyes were very heavy with
lack Of sleep, his collar limp and
dirty, and dark shadows grimed
his unshaved face.
Cathleen told him furiously
"You have a job to get to, Joe
Mccarthy. Is it this way you ex'
pect to keep it-galavantin' all
night and gettin' to work late as
you're sure to?"
Its the kind Of job doesn't
matter if you're late or not" he
explained. "It's collecting, see
and I can say I've taken a lot OF
addresses on my way in, for con
venience. I wish you'd cook me
some bacon, MAJ can't face
eggs"
Obediently Mrs. Mccarthy lit a
gas ring and slid a frying pan
over it. Cathleen ate scrambled
eggs without bread. because they
were nourishing and slid down
quickly, while her mother sliced
the bacon and put it on.
Mrs. Mccarthy was getting q
plate from the china cupboard
and Cathleen was leaving the
kitchen when a blaze of light be
hind her, a clatter, and a loud
kissing made her Whirl about
She saw in an instant what had
happened. Joe, reaching for the
coffee pot had struck the handle
Of the frying pan, spilling bacon
and grease over the gas flame.
The fat, running down, spread
the blaze over the whole floor

flung Intellectual water while Joe
stamped and cursed.

had just lighted for himself, and
Cathleen, feeling that she had
been a little ungracious about the
night club, put it between her lips
and drew on it as he directed.
There's little danger of my
getting to care for it" she
said, wrinkling her nose and
blowing the smoke out hastily,
IF you don't want it, I'll finish
it," Seward said, and Cathleen
thought that nothing was more
curious than the minor econo-
mics of the very rich. :.
Nov I NUT be going" she
said when she had finished her
ice cream. you've given me a
wonderful evening"
There remained the drive home,
for this time Seward refused to
deposit her at the subway. The
air outside was cool and almost
sweet, after the thick clogging
atmosphere they had left. They
drove across the Queensborough
Bridge, almost empty now, and
through miles of unfamiliar and
unimpreSSive streets of Long
Island City. The McCarthys'
house, when at last they stopped
before it, showed not a single
lighted window, for Cathleen had
exacted her mothers promise, be-
fore coming out, that she would
not wait up for her.

CHAPTER XIV

Marian AlSpaugh dominated
now by her desire to please and
dazzle her newest lover, looked
with jaundiced eyes at the little
car she had driven for two years.
Surely it was now not good
enough for @ marques. At its
makers nearest SaleSrooms, she
inspected new models. A larger
and far more impressive car took
her fancy. Its length, its eight
cylinders, the dulled gloss Of its
midnight blue finish. and its darl-
ing radiator-cap were irresistible.
but it was far beyond her means,
It was a shock a little later in
the day to meet Dorothy Hol-
brook driving what appeared to be
the identical car she had been
admiring. When Marian made
an envious reference to it, Doro'
thy, to her amazement, burst into
tears.
1--WE bought the damn thing

God, but try and get your money
back on a used car! I wish to
heaven we could sell it, and get
a little used cheap one"
Marian's eyes frightened as she
scented a bargain. Dorothy's car
was as good as new. And there
need to be no red tape about buy
ing it, no necessity for Homers
signature on a legal paper. She
could present him with the accom-
pliShed fact.
The two women soon came to an
agreement. Marian's car, surren
dered to Dorothy, would count as a

The hand she put in his was
firm and comradely, nice to hold.
Seward would have held it longer,
but there was something else to
be done. He drew from his
breast pocket the little package
and held it toward her.
Il got this for YOU" he
blurted.
"oh!" She took it, surprised
but pleased and totally unable
to guess the nature of the pres
ent. "That's very kind" She
thanked him again, more warmly
than before.
Seward got back into the car
and sat waiting while she went
in, and closed the door behind
her. Naturally, since it was dark
outside, she'd wait to open his
present till she got in her room
Her acceptance of it, wrapped and
uneXamined, meant nothing. He
was eager to know-it had be
come unreaSonably important to
him to know-whether when she
knew that he had given her an
ornament costing hundreds of dol
lars, she would keep it.
A part Of Seward believed and
hoped that she would accept the
bracelet. But If she returned it.
he realized with a singing in his
heart, he would be glad.
Cathleen mounted the stairs
with light, carefully silent move,
ments, avoiding the steps that
creaked. She gained her own
room, closed the door, and
switched on the light. She pulled
off her hat and dropped it and
Stewards package on the bed
where she sank down, shaking
back her hair.
She closed her eyes to keep the
wonders Of the evening fresh and

small square package and drew ii

Fright, excitement, and the
dread of being late put all thought
of Stewards bracelet out Of her
mind. She was halfway up the
stairs to the elevated station be-
fore she remembered it, and it
was then too late to go back.
Anyway it couldn't matter much
since Seward seldom came to the
office and probably it would be
best to return the bracelet by
mail.
That evening there was no
question Of overtime and Cathleen
got home early. Without a mo-
ment's delay, she went to her
bureau and pulled open the
drawer into which she had thrust
the Tiffany box. It was not there.

must be hiding under some of
her things, she stirred her be-
