Designer Visions
Coming Fashions

Quoting Edith Head, top designer
of clothes for Hollywood notables:
"The reign of the popular simple
frock or suit is over. Everything
indicates that the fall and winter
styles will be lavish in fabric and
extremely romantic and fattering.
Clothes will doubtless cause social
functions to increase in Formally
and it will be, all and all, a dressy
season."
II am sure" predicted Miss
Head, "that there will be no GER
tain or definite skirt, sleeve, or coat
lengths in the coming trend. Wom-
en- will dress strictly to their own
individuality, getting away from the
sheep fads and crazes which made
all of us look alike for the past sew
eral years. At least feminine
fashions will assume something
else than all poured of the same
mold
"The high note of the new trend"
said the designer, Twill be magnif-
icence of material. Silks, brocades,
velvets, and embroidered fabrics
will be abundant and tailored, all
purpose models will hear a definite
death knell."

Vacuum Cleaner With
Clean Dust Bag Best

A vacuum cleaner with clean
dust bag does the best cleaning job,
studies at Purdue university expert
ment station show. For best serv-
ice the bag should be emptied after
each daily use. Never wash the
bag, as that destroys the finish that
keeps it dustproof.
How much dust a machine draws
from rug, the studies indicate de-
ponds partly on how fast it is pushed
back and forth. Most machines
clean best if they are moved at a
speed of from one to two feet a
second.
Naturally, the machine should not
be allowed to pick up pins, tacks, or
glass because these sharp objects
may poke holes in the bag or chip
the fan blades.
1t is also desirable to keep the
machine in a clean place, protected
from dirt and dust.

Flying Is Risky Business,

A pedestrian crossed traffic

airplane overhead. Three buses
shaved him so closely that his
beard didn't appear again for a
week, the wind from six passing
cars raised the nap on his last
years suit, one five-passenger car
removed the shine from the back
of his left shoe, and the drivers of
seven other assorted makes, while
stripping their gears in an effort
to avoid him, stripped their vocab-

After stumbling over the curb

road, the pedestrian was heard to

Many Electric Outlets
Important to Kitchen

When electric outlets are being
planned in new house for lamps,
clocks and radios, the kitchen is
often neglected. It has more uses
for plugs than any other room.
Within reasonable limits, there
cannot be too many appliance out
let's in the kitchen. In this room
electricity is used both for lighting
and for motivating power.
Consumption of current varies
widely with kitchen appliances, and
special attention should be given to
the load the outlet is expected to
carry.

To Remove Jar Covers

To remove covers from preserve
jars place the jar top downward in
a dipper of hot water (not boiling)
and allow it to remain five or ten
minutes. Remove the jar from the
dipper and insert a steel kitchen
knife at different points under the
rubber. This will let in the air.
The cover can then be removed
easily.

Peter Pond, Pathmaker

Peter Pond, Pathrnaker
HEY say that when Peter Pond
= was born to the wife of Mil
ford, Conn.,, shoemaker in 1740 he
"arrived in restless mood and
from that time until the end of his
life he was constantly on the 60.
His father wanted him to "stick to
the last" but the boys restlessness
led him into the British army at the
age of 16. He served under Lord
Howe, Sir William Johnson and Cen
eral Amherst in Canada and there
learned of the wealth of the country
he was helping to conquer. It was
furs and he was destined to become
one of Americas greatest fur trad
ers.
After the French and Indian war
was over, he went to sea and after
a successful voyage to the West In
dies returned to Milford to find his
mother dead. So he took charge Of
his eight younger sisters and broth
ers until his father returned from a
trading trip to Detroit.
When his father died Peter as
sumed his debts and in 1865 went
to Detroit to engage in the Indian
trade. He spent one winter at Mich
illimackinac, then "took another
turn to We West Indies" But he was
soon back in the West-at Prairie
du Chen and Green Bay, Wis.
About ITS he gave up the trade
in the Mississippi valley and went
up into Canada. He is said to have
been the first white man to reach
the Peace river country and when
the North West company was or
ganized in 1884 he was one of the
shareholders. He helped wrest the
valuable Chipewayan trade away
from the Hudson's Bay company
and he inspired the famous explor-
ing expedition of Alexander Macken-
zie to the Pacific. Pond sold out
his interests in the North West COM
pany in 1890 and is said to have died
in poverty few years later.

A Dumas Hero

Ian Q1ed IN BremerrOn, WaSn.,
in 1909, at the age of ~ it marked
the passing of a character who
might have stepped out of one Of
Dumas novels. When he was 81
Phelan came to America, seeking
adventure, and arrived in Kansas
in time to take part in the border
wars as follower of John Brown
of Osawatomie.
In Jackson county, Mo-, he was
captured by pro-slavery bushwhack-
ers, who shot him and left him for
dead. Upon recovering, he enlisted
in the Union army, rose from SER
geant to the rank of captain and
served throughout the Civil war.
Once he and several of his company
were captured by Quantrill's guer-
rillas and sentenced to be shot.
Their lives were saved by a Fed
eral commander who threatened to
hang an equal number of Southern
sympathizers if they were harmed.
After the war, Phelan, with his
sword-cane, was picturesque fig
ure on the streets of Kansas City
where he became noted for his skill
as swordsman and his readiness
to settle any quarrel on the duelling
grounds with rapier or pistol. Then
he enlisted in the fight for Irish
freedom, joined the Fenians but
quarreled with some of their lead
ers because of their terroristic
methods. AS result, three "dyna-
miters" in 1885 attacked him in his
Office and almost slashed him to
death with their daggers before he
beat them off. After many months
in the hospital he finally recovered
from his wounds.
In 1894 Phelan won international
fame when the French captain, Al
fred Dreyfus, was courtmartialed
and sentenced to DEVILS Island.
Phelan Immediately denounced
Count Esterhazy as the forger of
the documents which convicted
Dreyfus and challenged him to a
duel. The charges of the Irish sol
dier of fortune were ridiculed but
later events proved that he was
right.
Thirty Thirty Jack
PACK in 1898, when Jack Pratt
- was 26 years old, he left the
States for Alaska and settled near
Wrangell. There was no monotony
in his far-north life-he became q
deep-sea diver, prospector, game
hunter, ''mountie," saloon-keeper
and government agent. They called
him '"Thirty-Thirty" Jack after the
rifle he carried instead of the usual
six-shooter.
Up in Nome, for a while he went
into partnership with Tex Richard,
the famous prize-fight promoter.
Their business interests were CEN
tered solely in running a saloon,
so instead of promoting fights, they
were interested in stopping them.
There, too, "ThirtyThirty" knew
many later notables including Rex
Beach, Robert w. Service, Texas
Guinan and Jack London.
A few months ago he made a
trip to Chicago which was his first
return to civilization" in SO years.
He said he was disappointed. how
ever, because, although sc years
old, he guesses he is still pioneer
at heart.
He returned to Wrangell and put
on big party to celebrate his "de-
liverance" from derby hats and 9TH
er signs of formal living.

will enjoin the whole scheme" The
state federation's appeal involves that
part of the injunction which restrains
peaceful picketing.
The brief declares that the court
has, up to the present time, refused
to give consideration to an analysis
of the language of the Illinois Anti
Injunction Act, which forbids injunc-
tions 'enjoining or restraining any
person, either singly or in concert
The language of the statute, it holds,
Clearly is not restricted to the i'm
mediate relation of employer and en-
ploye." The court held that the anti
injunction act applied only in cases
where such relationship existed.
The court asserted that freedom of
speech does not include freedom to
libel or SANDER" referring to pickets'
signs which announced that Swings
beauty shop was unfair. Of this, the
brief says:
''The constitution gives the courts
no summary jurisdiction to control
freedom of speech and the court will
be exceeding its authority if it seeks,
in contravention of statute, to make
freedom of speech the victim of sum-
mary judicial proceedings"
The supreme courts decision was
not unanimous. Justice Farthing dis
sented, taking much the same stand
as labor does in its brief, which was
compiled by Dodd and Daniel D. Car
nell, general counsel for the state
federation.

CANADIAN LABOR
SEEKS PUBLIC AID

st. John, N. B. (ILNS).-Organized
labor has taken the lead in drive to
abolish the Canadian Senate. It is
pointed out that appointments to this
chamber are for life and for no rea-
son at, all except outright political
service.
The difficulty in getting a quorum
of Senators has been pointed out by
Senators themselves. For the final
two weeks of the session, only a hand
full of the Senators were present, all
the others having left Ottawa, al
though important legislation was on
the agenda. The policy of the Senate
has been hopelessly standpat, the
composition being almost wholly of
lame duckers from the House of Com
mons, and those who contributed heav-
lily to the campaign funds.
Each administration distributes the
life appointments to his supporters,
at the expense of the taxpayers. Or
ganized labor is seeking public sup
port in the movement to eliminate
this highly expensive system of po-
litical reward.

WNu SERVICE,

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Amer-
lean school construction is promised
the biggest boom of all time in pro-
posal offered by Senator James Mead
3D., New York;, in the form of an
amendment to the pending spend-lend
bill, or an amendment to an appro-

Senator Mead's amendment pro-
poses to earmark $100,000,000 for
school construction, making that
amount available for the year imme-
diately ahead. In addition to this,
there is unmarked money in the bill
which may be called upon.
The Mead proposal beckons to the
building trades, the school boards of
the country, educators, material and
supply manufacturers and many 9TH

immense fund through tremendous
cross-section of labor and industry
and adding enormously to the educa-
