This is such beautifully fitting
slip that the sizes in it have been
run up to fifty. But don't think you
have to be large woman to like it.
1t is lovely on a slender figure. It
is simplicity itself to make and the
seams follow such pretty lines they
actually become a decoration. In
your fall wardrobe don't forget to
include some new slips. Summer al
ways works havoc in ones lingerie
and no self-respecting frock is going
to look as it should worn over an
old mis-shapen foundation.

WINS CHAMPIONSHIP
 CHANNEL IN B. B,
Douglas Boys and Girls Beaten Again Last Night
 Take Four Straight

Finis was written to the Chan nel series last night when both boys and girls teams of Douglas went down to defeat before their powerful High School rivals from the Capital City. In the prelim- mary the Douglas girls nearly overcame their opponents, but were finally defeated by a 31-34 score Mary Pearce and Helen Pusich did outstanding work for their teammates. Winn, Terhune and Hansen played well for their sextet.
 Final score of the boys contest was 35-18; however, it was bat tie from whistle to whistle and it was not until the 4th quarter that the boys from Juneau moved out ahead of the Islanders.
 Edmiston, Kilburn and Stragier did the brunt of the work for the Islanders. Hansen, Paul and Behrends were the Hilltopper high lights.

pEEP1NG TOM ESCAPES

A "Peeping Tom who has been annoying residents of Douglas for some time was surprised by City Marshal Schramm, while following up his pastime last evening, and only his fleetness of foot and luck in lodging bullets saved him from arrest. Undoubtedly the unevenness of the road due to the snow was responsible for his being missed by all of the four or five shots fired at him.
 4 Marshal Schramm declares that next time he sees the prowler he is going to have his 10-gauge shot gun with him and then he won't miss.

GLASS-WORK
By Robert Benchley

the mile straightaWay, each
morning, to see If everything
was OK, then, on the very last
day. some gawk had to come
along and say "oops! I'm
sorry!" as the work Of months
went twinkling into the ash can.
I get cold shivers just thinking
about it, for I know that, if I
had been within a mile Of PaSa-
dena at the time, would have
been the one to do the trick.
And so, let the boys up in
Corning have a care. It Is
taking 100000 pounds Of glass
to make this giant mirror, ten
hours to pour the molten glass,
and ten months for it to cool.
But it would take me, or some.
body like me, just two seconds
to fall into it and fix it up
pretty.
How would you like to face
the International Education
Board, which has contributed
the $4,000, 900, and say: "Tu be
darned if I see how it happened.
I was just walking along and 7
guess somebody pushed me-"
7 am afraid that this
wouldn't go so big with the
International Education Board,
or with the foreman Of the
glass-works-or even with you,
yourself. # there can be such
an awful moment as that when
you break an ordinary glass in
somebody's house, the feeling
of having broken six million
dollars worth and 200, 900 pounds
Of glass would make it hardly
worth while your showing up
on the job again. There must
be several different ways Of
getting out of Corning quickly,
If you don't wait to pack.
All I hope is that, by this
little warning, I haven't made
any Of the workmen self.
conscious or jumpy.
