AT long last (not originaD
"A summer seems to have made
up its mind to come to us to
stay. The weather man has really
been awfully hard on feminine
wardrobes for the past few
months. With cool breezes blow
ing in spite of a friendly sun, it
has made this traCk-going clothes
situation a very moot question.
And it usually was answered
with a very light frock under a
fur coat; a very typical and
practical California costume,
anyway.
But, now that it's really warm,
we found the feminine racing
fans during the past week in a
CHEEKY conglomeration of whites,
pastelS, bright colors, and a few
women chic in black.
Simone Simon, with her cute
little round face sunburned and
freckled, was hatleSS, as usual,
and her hair very blond. She
wore a dress and fitted jacket of
printed crepe, white pattern on
a ground the color of strawberry
ice. With it she wore white &C
CeSSorieS.
The Countess di FraSSo, who
seems to be an inveterate at
tender of the track, was hatless
too, and looked extremely chic
In a tailored dreSSmaker frock
of rust and white print crepe.
She wore it with a knee length
cape Of brown suede the
shoulders and collar of which
are fashioned of beaver. Her
accessories were brown.

Heavy navy blue silk was used
for the very trim tWo-piece
costume that Sharon Lynn wore.
The hip-length fitted jacket had
lapels of white pique, and the
skirt was of large box pleatS.
With it she wore a perky sailor
hat of white pique banded and
yelled with navy blue.

The U. S. Federal Trade Com

Consumers now will be able to
patronize producers whose prod

from Shrinkage. This is a great
victory for consumers and the

Consumer

Miss Mary Anna Grimes, Tex

"The consumer deserves the
right to know what she is buy

Sions' rules should put an end
to the vague labelling which has
made millions of consumers
think they were buying pre-
shrunk garments only to find
that the garments Shrank so
much they could not be worn.
Now the consumer will be able
to rely on accurate labels per-
tanning to Shrinkage and thus
benefit from scientific methods
which assure permanent fit"
For number of years we have
struggled with the vague termi1-
ology employed in the labels used
in pre-shrunk materials. Women
have been driven to desperation
in their efforts to secure what
they intended to buy with their
money, and what from their
reading of the labels they
thought they were obtaining.

Massey, Chapman Play
Good Ball For Lyons

Many of you sport fans have not
paid much attention to softball or
indoor ball as it is better known.
But this sport has taken fans all
over the country by storm in this
last year and is growing more po-
pular as time goes on.
Lyons Music Hall is entered in
a knockout tournament and is con-
sidered one of the strongest teams,
and many fans believe they will be
on their way to Chicago for the
national championship.
Pitching for Lyons we have
Frank Massey, without doubt one
of the Northwest's leading softball
pitchers. Frank has won 81 of
his games, lost 4, and 5 of the 81
games won were no hit, no run
games. No team has ever gotten
over 3 hits off of Franks speed
ball. Also on the team is M. c.
Chapman who plays in the out
field, also in the catcher position.
They are the only two colored
players on the team and in the
League. This team is under the

Elks Donations
Aid Education

According to a report from the
office of the Commissioner of Edu-
cation of the Elks, that organiza-
ton has contributed more than
100000 to that department since
it began operation thirteen years
ago. Under its program, an an
nual education week among men,
bers of the order is observed, and
an annual Educational and Econo-
mics Congress has been projected
during the past four years.
The Department of Education,
under the direction of former
Judge w. c. Hueston, is divided
into six districts, each headed by a
regional director. Local, state and
regional oratorical contests are
held on the subject of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and the
winners of the regional contests
are brought to the annual meeting
of the Grand Lodge, this year in
Baltimore, August 21-27, for the
national finals.
We are pleased to commend this
phase of the Elks' work, and sug-
gest that other organizations stu
dy this program for pointers on
how expenditures on racial i'm
provements may be made in the
most effective way.

Mayor La Guardia decided it to be
safer, politically, for the Mayor
