Casualties In the News
CASUALTIES seem to be almost
~ even as between the New York
gang war and the Ethiopian war, but

reading. They print the names and
addresses of the deceased.

be distinguished from some of the
other hats in the ring by the fact that

At Panama, a deadly serpent bit an
army lieutenant. He took serum and
went to a party, and the snake died
in 20 minutes. Whereas, heretofore
Heutenants have been regarded as COM

L offer our winter fashion hints for
American men:
Lounge effects will be in evidence on
park benches.
The morning suit will be used
throughout the day. Also every morn

Unless prosperity returns mighty
soon. expect a continuance of the high
polish noted during recent years in
connection with the seats of blue serge
pants. Elbows also will display
bright sheen or patina.

The Family Influence
OK members of the Virginia-born
~ Lady Astor's family are now in the
British parliament, If you include Lady
Aston herself-and you'd better. So
hereafter her ladyship can rest the
