 The charming dress patterned for today, is ideal for town or country. It is a fiattering model for youth full figures, and has a slenderizing effect for the heavier type.
 The cape-like sleeves, besides be- ing so modish, are easily handled by even an amateur sewer. The skirt cut with gores, will give you elegant height. Plaits give width for easy walking.
 It is enchantingly lovely in violet linen or tub silk. Sheer cotton prints, shantung, challis prints, etc. are other nice mediums for your choice.
 Style No. 2742 is designed for sizes 16, 18 years, 36, 38, 40, 42, A and 46- inches bust. Size 30 requires 3h yards of 39-inch material.

Q.-Our little girl, aged 3, has had strabismus (crossed eyes) since birth. Is an oper- ation advisable?
 A.-Strabismus in children usually is due to imperfect development of the eyes. Frequently, vision is poor in one eyes. An operation is rarely necessary, if modern methods of treatment can be applied when the child is about three years of age.

Following this inspection, Director
Pitts instructed Warden Honeycutt to
start moving the prisoners into the
new cell block this morning and by
tonight the more than 400 prisoners
who have been confined in the Ct
year-old cell block in east wing, with
its wooden stairways and cat-walks
in front of the cell blocks, will be in
their new and ABSOLUTELY fire-proof
quarters in the west wing Work will
start Immediately on the fireproofing
of the old cell block in the east wing.
Some five or six months will be re-
quired to tear out the old cell blocks,
built of solid brick masonry. so the
new cells of reinforced concrete and
steel can be installed.
The new cell block in the west wing
of the prison contains 1872 cells with
a capacity OF $50 prisoners while the
smaller cell block of 49 cells in the
turreted tower of the west wing, and
which will be death Row until the
eastern cell block is completed, has
space for 1876 prisoners, all of these
being double cells for two men. Of
the 231 cells in the main cell block,
48 are large cells with accommoda-
lions for four men in each cell All
the other 1873 cells have accommoda-
tions for two men each.
This is the first and only cell block
in the Central Prison which has
toilet and lavatory in every CELL with
hot and cold water, while there are
shower baths at the end. of every tier
of cells. The new cells are also lar
ger than the old ones, being six feet
by nine feet in length, while the old
cells were only five feet by eight feet.
The new double cells for four men
each are II feet six inches wide by
ninef eet deep with double deck
hunks on each wall. All of the mat
tresses for the new cell block are new
and are made of cotton instead of
straw, in the prisons own mattress
factory. These mattresses and the bed
clothes, will be the only inflamable
articles in the cells, since everything
else is of concrete or steel. The cell
blocks are heated with hot air blown
over steam coils with large fans and
kept in constant circulation.
For the first time since I have
been connected with the State Prison
I can go to bed tonight and go to
sleep without the fear of what might
Honeycutt said this afternoon. "Only
Divine Providence has saved us so
far, combined with every precution
we could take against fire. We have
taken a great step forward"

Somme Apex of their drive was the
blaoncourt-Pressoire line, where the
French had approached uncomfortab-
ly near Chaulnes. From the stand
point of artillery preparation and the
number of men used it was the
heaviest counter-attack yet directed
on the Somme. 1t was particularly
notable for the quantities of asphyxi-
ating gas, lachrymose gas and liquid
flame used, for weather conditions
were ideal for the purpose. On the
map, not much in the way of results
could be shown. But the Germans
established themselves in new posi-

OTHERS VIEWS
"THE UNIVERSE"
To the Editor:


Man has long pioneered on his uni
verse; even since the cave-man has it
been wonder and concern to him;
but In comparison to what there is to
unfold, man has unfolded very little
about his universe
God, Himself, is a victim of His
own creation. For instance, God rules
and controls His Universe; any Ruler
can reach the boundaries Of His or
Her Domain, but can God? You dom
mean to tell me God can reach the
end of infinite space? Can God turn
back yesterday and turn it into to-
morrow? God created The Universe
grant you that; but where was God
prior to this. A fool can ask questions
a wise man can't answer Which re-
Rinds me of what the student asked
the Hindu philosopher: eff the world
rest on the back of an elephant, what
supports the elephant y He promptly
replied: Another elephant" The stu
dent kept this up until the philosoph-
er suggested that he change the SUBJ
ject An ancient Greek philosopher
told his followers: 1.-The way to solve
the mystery or the universe is to go
jump in the lake. AS result, thous-
ands of them drowned themselves in
a nearby lake, hence, the expression:
GO jump in the lake"
Einsteins relatively is very inter-
esting: There could be nothing great
if there were nothing small, there
could be nothing mean if there were
nothing good, and etc. Hence every
thing is related.
