BOLERO
IN LACE is SMART
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

One of the many reasons for the
great popularity of the becoming
bolero is it's ability to dress up a
costume, or to vary it for you. You
have only to slip one OF over a SIM
pie crepe dress to achieve the eff
feet that is especially attractive
this year. Boleros are particularly
prominent in starched cotton lace,
in pastel shades and white. Several
of these, in different %colors, will n
able you to get different effects with
a single frock.
The simple, brief bolero would
probably be most practical, for the
lace pattern gives a dressy effect
in itself, and the tailored pattern
of the bolero makes it adaptable
to all types of costumes. One very
attractive design has short puff
sleeves, and wide revers, with the
short jacket slightly fared. If you
can sew at all, it is the easiest thing
to make, of little more than a yard
of lace. Such a bolero shows off
to best advantage over a dress that
is fairly simple, whether it be an
afternoon frock, or a gown for eve
ming.

Display Of the Flag

The flag should be displayed only
from sunrise to sunset; it should be
displayed on national and state holi-
days and on historic and special
occasions; it should be hoisted brisk
ly and lowered slowly and cere-
moniously. In raising and lowering
the flag it should never be allowed
to touch the ground. When the flags
of states or cities Or pennants of
societies are flown on the same
halyard with the flag of the United
States, the American flag is always
at the peak. When flown from adj
iacent staffs one flag of the United
States should be hoisted first. No
flag or pennant should be placed
above or to the right of the flag
of the United States, except where
a number of flags are grouped or
displayed from stats, when the flag
of the United States should be in
the center.

Longest and Shortest Days

The longest and shortest days OF
the year are determined by the
summer and winter solstices, the
exact time being determined by
mathematical calculation. The sol
stices are the times of the year
when the sun is at its greatest dec
lination, either north or south. For
instance, the summer solstice is the
time when the sun reaches it's farth-
est point in it's swing northward
from the equator, which, according
ly, marks the longest day of the
year. The year consists of approx
imately 1854 days, and it is this
fractional day of each year which
causes the solstices to fuctuate.
This is adjusted by the leap years.
However, the longest and shortest
days differ in length from the days
Immediately preceding and follow
ing them by only a fraction of Q
minute.

American origin, for the latter rank
high in style prestige this season.
Do these foreign-looking Ameri-
can-made prints make up effectively
in dance frocks? Find the answer in
the charming dress pictured to the
right in the illustration. This sleeve
less evening gown with graceful
skirt and with ~halter-type bodice
is made of one of the new Hun
garian cotton prints which repro
duce old-world textiles. The colors
are rich and glowing and there is
a gypsy flavor about them and the
beads and the bracelets worn are
in definite keeping with the trend
in the summer mode. Needless to
say that the colors of the print are
fast to both sun and washing.
Take the thought of the perfectly
gorgeous new cotton prints and the
thought of the stunning new house
coats, such as are proving the big
sensation in fashion realms, put the
two together and the duo-theme is
enough to tempt any ~home-sewing
woman into action. Which is exactly
what is happening.
She who loves to go nautical will
enjoy making up the beach coat
to the left in the picture, which may
be smartly used later on as an
evening coat or as a house coat.
The material, patterned with an
chors and other seafaring themes,
being properly pre-shrunk will not
lose it's perfect lines or fit from
laundering, neither will the colors
lose out in Tubing.
A cool competent play outfit Of
colorful early American print
centers the trio. Being dependably
pre-shrunk it is able to take its
tubbings cheerfully without tendency
to lose shape. The shirt and shorts
are in one. The skirt whisks or and
off at will.

Renaissance of Interest
in the "Polka Dot" Theme

There is a renaissance of interest
in the polka dot theme. There are
enormous plate-sized dots with
smaller dots scattered around them,
all sprinkled with tiny confetti dots
in contrasting colors. There are zig
gag polka dot arrangements, irregu-
lar spacings. The classic polka dot
takes on a new look in strange and
"dizzy" color combinations for
s~portswear, such as queer reds COM
bined with strong blues. Silk crepes,
silk sheers and silk taffetas are
favorite grounds for dot patterns,
the companion idea often being car
ried out in a silk crepe with a silk
sheer.

"Tide of Death"
BY FLOYD b
Famous Headline Hunter

VI7HENH Hubert C. Fuller of Brooklyn was eighteen, his dad
w moved from Missouri to a spot in Oklahoma on the banks
of the Canadian river. The nearest town was Konawa, but in
the section the Fullers moved to, they and the r. f. D. post
master were the only settlers within a radius of about fifteen
miles. The Fullers' farm was on one side of the river and the
postmaster's was on the other.
Hube says the river bed was three quarters of a mile wide, but in the
summer of 1918, when they moved there, hot weather and a drouth had
lust about dried the river 10. There was nothing but a little stream OF
about six feet wide and three feet deep, running zgzag from one
bank to the other.
There was trea chery in that sluggish river, too: Its head
waters were u in the Colorado mountains, and sometimes water
from melting snow would sweep down the dry river bed n a tor
rental avalanche, taking everything before it and filling the river
he'd from bank to bank. "The natives" says Hube, "cal these
frequent occurrences head rses!"
Couldn't Understand His Alarm.
And though Hube knows all about those "head rises" now, he didn't
know a thing about them At the time this story opens.
Hube's dad had gone across the river a few days before to help the
postmaster cut some wood on his farm, and he had asked Hube to hitch
u D the team to the wagon and drive over and get a load. It was a hot day,
with thunder clouds up the river to the northwest. Hube drove the
horses-Sis and Ned-down into the river bed. He forded what little
water there was in the bottom and then let the horses pick their way
while he lay down in the wagon with his hat over his eyes.
Several times, he thought he heard strange rurnbings up river,
but he paid no attention to them. "I must have dozed off to sleep" he
says, "fr the next thing knew I heard someone shout my name. l sat

marvellous to behold. The Chinese
kites often have two strings and
these enable the operator to make
the kite do some wonderful things.

more than suggestion for consider
alton and exploration, for every large
city has its problems in blighted areas,
Chicago is an outstanding example.
Even Washington is no exception. In
all cities are found neighborhoods
which have almost been abandoned.
In their present state they are useless
for homes and cannot produce any ap-
preclable income as business proper
ties. Yet they have all the facilities
for proper housing-water, sever
age, light. police and fire protection.
In addition they are close in and
ideally located for homes of low-sal-
arled office workers, mechanics,
watchmen. clerks, and the like. Here
might be the answer to location for
rental housing. The municipal advan.
tages would be great. If these areas
could be redeveloped by private capi-
tai to furnish suitable and proper
housing; though the first step in any
such scheme would be to induce the
cities to throw new safeguards around
these deserted districts, SO that they
might be protected as residential areas.
Thus far under our large-scale
rental housing program we have act
ually insured mortgages on 20 prof.
ects. located in 10 States. However,
in dollars of mortgages insured, our re-
suits to date are small in comparison
with the ,000,000,00O of individual
home mortgages under the mutual
mortgage insurance plan. 1t must be
apparent that to educate, stimulate
and plan these large-scale housing
projects takes great deal of time
and it was not to be expected that
this rental program would meet the
spontaneous response of the program
Tor building individual homes for
sale. Nevertheless, the 20 projects
represent a capital outlay of approxi-
mately $18,000,000 and have demon
strated their practicability to such
an extent that new applications in in
creasing numbers are now being re-
ceived, giving us the belief that the
program will become widely under
stood and appreciated.

ernment employees, temporarily en-
ployed. find it economically unwise to
undertake the purchase of homes. On
this point, Charles F. Lewis director
of the Buhl Foundation, which de-
veloped Chatham Village at Pitts
burgh, said:
In the Nations Capital the Wash
ington Sanitary Improvement Co.,
with assets of nearly Sl,200,OOO, can
boast that from 1897 to 1923 it paid
an annual dividend of S per cent.
From then on, straight through the
depression, it paid an annual dividend
of per cent. The Washington Sani-
tary Housing Co. has had similar ex-
perlence, paying 5 per cent a year
without interruption since 1920"
Backed by Mcdonald.
The rental building program also
was strongly advocated by Stewart
Mcdonald, administrator of the Fed
eral Housing Administration. Both
he and Mr.. Lewis took the position
that most builders of homes for pur-
poses of sale have failed to take into
consideration the changes in the do
mestic economy Of this country dur
ing the last 20 or IS years.
For many reasons" Mr.. McDon-
aid said. 1T is apparent that a great
mass OF our population must perforce
be renters, either through their own
choice or due to conditions beyond
their control AS a matter of fact,
it is estimated that perhaps one-half
of the entire urban population of the
country will always remain renters.
Most of these families, for various
reasons. are unable to assume the OBJ
legations of home ownership Many
must be prepared on short notice to
follow employment opportunities to
some other part of the country: 9TH
ers must face the fact that they have
never been able to accumulate a suf-
f1cient sum for down payment to
render ownership anything but a
gamble with the future.
1T is amazing, therefore, when YOU
stop to think of it, that this tremen-
dous market in one of our basic in
dustries should stand all but neglected
by the business men and investors of
this country today and yet it offers
the widest of opportunities and one
OF the most fertile fields for promot-
ing general recovery in business and
industry"
Declaring that the great mistake
OF real estate men in the past has
been that they designed their building
to appeal to the comparatively wealthy
class which offers glittering prospects
in good times but is ruinous during
a depression, Mr.. Mcdonald added:

BY LAWRENCE CROLIUS.
Asst year at this time we de-
Scribed some of the devices
which are available for the saw


0 ing of fuel in old, inefficient
furnaces. The article met with such
widespread interest that we thought
you might be interested in hearing
about them again.
II you have an old coal furnace in
your basement with an oil burner
hurting great quantities of heat into
it the chances are that the boiler is
not utilizing a very large percentage
OF the heat placed there. 1t is more
than likely absorbing all that its poor,
tired body can handle, but letting
large quantities go rushing up the
chimney where it doesn't do much
good towards warming even the out
doors.
The question obviously resolves it
self to how one can stop this loss of
heat into the places where it does
little or no good. There is little that
can be done with the boiler itself, un-
fortunately, because of its peculiar
construction, but you can put things
in the boiler that will help hold that
heat where it will do some house
warming.
One variation of the type of equip
ment to do this job consists of large
cast iron affair which is placed in
the furnace like a large shell facing
the oil burner so that the fame i'm
pinges on its front surface. This
front surface is also provided with a
large number of fingers cast into the
| surface of the heat saver so that the
maximum amount of heat will be
transmitted into the body of the de-
| vice.
