AS the season progresses the fas-
cination of silk prints leads on and
on to acquire another and another
and "just one more" The latest
message is for brilliant flowers in
gorgeous puppies and vibrant blues
and exotic magenta reds and bright
greens and other ravishing colors
printed on white backgrounds. Typ
ical of this midsummer spirit in
prints is the handsome model
shown. It is white silk crepe pat
termed in medium size florals. A
grand dress to wear to afternoon oc-
casions. The neck is high with a
tiny collar that faunts a spaghetti
tie in purple. The large hat is most
interesting and significant since it
bespeaks a type of millinery that
is new and outstanding. The long
gloves are according to the latest
style dictates.

selfshness Destroys Happiness
ITO BE CONTINUED

When we avoid our neighbor who
is suffering, when we wrap our
selves in the cold blanket of selfish
ness, we forget the possibilities of
reel happiness, for true happiness
comes only through sympathy and
by comparison. The sufferings of
others softens our hearts and makes
US sensible to our own blessings.

 The absence of accurate, detailed information has been some handi- cap, the senator said, in drafting federal laws, and in preparing an Inspection law for the District of Columbia which will be used as a model law for the various states.
 Associations Aiding
 With the aid of automobile asso- citations and safety organizations, Senator Lonergan said he would also sponsor legislation covering the visi- |bility of automobiles. This problem, he said, has been encountered re- gently as resdlt of the car designs which has decreased the drivers visibility in some cases to 4 per cent. he is considering, he said, federal 'law affecting interstate motor tral1s- pogtation, which would fix 8 degree of visibility as minimum for safe- Nv, and which would require such minimum under inspection laws of the Bureau of Motor Carriers.

 Senator Lenergan said that safety oraanizations and engineers have been cooperating with automotive engineers fer some years in an ef1ort ko have automobiles designed so the iriver would be clese to the front of Ehe car on high elevation, to provide
 greater degree of visibility, but That public demand for streamlining hnd designs requiring low visibility (1as made progress difhcult, and would likely make federal and state regulations necessary.
