The narrow straight lines Of the
stunning supper-club gown to the left
directly contrasts the new fullness just

of slashing taut hemlines almost to

model. This velvet costume is superb

dress and cape with a bright fuchsia
tone for the lining, the gloves and the
flowers at the throat
A suave sheathlike styling Is given
to the distinguished restaurant gown
to the right. This is the type Of dress
which calls for dressy little dinner
hat to be worn with it. Ultra sophis-
ticated it is in fabric as well as line.
The material is the new ribbed cire.
Lacquer-finished weaves of this sort
are in high-style this season. The slit

adroitly concealed under the panel

fasten the bodice above at the back
and the sleeves almost halfway to the
elbow. A gorgeous rhinestone orna-
ment defines the waistline at the top
of the panel back.
This story of new silhouettes would
not be complete were we to fail to at
least mention that in direct contrast
to the robe de style and other full
skirted effects, there is a movement
toward introducing empire high-waist
lines topping skirts of tall sheathlike
stature. Then, too, there are many
form-fitting princess dresses with

fastenings for simple wooden daytime
frocks, is another recent gesture.

Then Jim put in his quiet opinion:
"a band of men could hang out here
for twenty years-unless they fought
among themselves"
"Hal" Slocum let out a single sharp
exclamation.
They left Jim on the bluff to keep
the first watch.
Jim had Miss Herrick's word as to
the amount taken from her. 1t was
certainty that Hays had also robbed
her brother. But he had not reported
the truth as to the amount; and this
was another singular proof OF the dis
Indignation of the chiefs character.
In all likelihood Sparrowhawk Lati
mer was aware of this omission on the
chiefs part. Probably he had been
bribed to keep his mouth shut. What
ever there was to learn Jim meant to

The Cherokee Alphabet

The Cherokee alphabet was In
vented by Sequoya. member Of the
Cherokee tribe, observes writer in
the Washington Star. The Importance
of the art Of writing and printing as
instruments and weapons of civiliza-
ton began to impress him In 1909, and
he studied undismayed by the discour-
agement and ridicule Of his fellows, to
elaborate a system Of writing suitable
to the Cherokee language. In 1927 he
submitted his syllabary to the chief
men of the nation, and on their APP
proval the Cherokee of all ages set
about to learn it with such zeal that
after a few months thousands were
able to read and write their language.

Fewer American "Uncle."

Fewer rich men are leaving money
to relatives in Europe and the pro-
verbal 'rich uncle in America" who
leaves a fortune to his people back
at home in the old country, is not
so common now as he used to be.
The head of the department of the
foreign office at Stockholm, Sweden,
who deals with Swedish heirs to
money of persons dying abroad, has
revealed how times have changed.
He says that the amounts received
by heirs are substantially below
what they were a few years ago.
Last year only about 100000 was
handled by his Office in comparison
with $1,O0O,000 the year before. Cor
respondence regarding legacies from
America constitutes about one-fourth
of the work of the department. The
largest legacy was S25O,OOO. On one
occasion, after much correspondence,
the relative of man who died in
America was enriched by seven cents.

WATCH silhouettes! Startling
w changes are taking place In the
Zines" of the newer fashions. The
lovely creature centered in the group
pictured is wearing dress which tells
at glance what is happening in the
way Of radical departure from the
sleek, suave and beguiing mermaid
type of formal gowns which have been
gracing the evening scene this many
season.
Not that the glamorous form-ftting
effects have entirely gone into oblivion,
on the contrary fashion is highlighting
any number of slender gowns for the
winter social season, although even
these are undergoing certain subtle
changes which add greatly to their fas-
cination. Perhaps the most outstand-
ing innovation in connection with the
sheathlike frocks now worn is their
slit hemlines. It Is with battling in
genuity that designers are maneuver-
ing these Sits and splits and slashes
that ease up the hemline to allow free
dom Of movement for the wearer.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons2
The dose of liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. 1t
forms no habit; you need not take
double dose" a day or two later.
Nor piH a mild liquid laratiUe irritate
the kidneys.
The right dose of a liquid laxative
brings more natural movement, and
there is no discomfort at the time, or
after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
1t gently helps the average persons
bowels until nature restores them to
regularity. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative
which all druggists keep ready for
use. 1t makes an ideal family laxa-
tive; effective for all ages, and may
be given the youngest child.

SUMS Rays Offer Paradox; Solar Heat
Nav Not Produce Warm DAYS on Earth

More heat streaming from the sun
does not necessarily produce hotter
weather on the earth. Sometimes,
paradoxically, greater solar activity
is followed by cooler earthly weather.
says the Kansas City Stars Science
Service.
How this can be true is explained
by 81. Helm Clayton, editor Of World
Weather Records for the Smithsonian
institution.
Weather ls made" in certain areas
scattered over the earth. known as
"centers of action" From these areas
the alternating masses of cold and Of
warm air march out and their inter-
actions whenthey meet each other fur

These centers of action do not stay

migrations have been brain-racking
riddle to meteorologists. Now Mr.
Clayton offers the explanation that
increases in solar radiation cause q
poleward shift in centers Of action,
thus materially altering the direction
and distances Of air-mass movement
routes, and with them the type Of

Since 1t is well known that sun
