SLIPCOVERS FOR
 CHARM AND SERVICE

For variety's sake the modern homemaker likes to provide two or even more sets of living room slip covers. She believes it economical to select materials for this purpose that are of fine quality, since shoddy fabrics neither wear well nor retain their shape. Good workmanship, too, is important. Poorly fitted covers make the room appear sloppy, care- less. She will bring home scads of samples to experiment with colors and patterns before final selection, because she discovers using several harmonizing but different materials in the same room adds individual ity, interest. or serviceability, she will assure herself that the materials she chooses are processed to resist dampness, rust fading and shrink age.

Gingham Comes Out of the Kitchen TO Sit Proudly in Fashions ParlOr
ONCE LOWLY FABRIC IS NOW THE SMARTEST
BY MARIAN YOUNG


 NEA Service Stan Correspondent New York-Lowly gingham is the cinderella fabric of the season. In bright plaids, checks and stripes, it has stepped out of the nursery and kitchen into fashions limelight. The fabric of which most of your frocks were made when you were seven now is used to make some of your smartest suits, dresses and dress and coat ensembles for wear on city streets as well as in the country.
 A stunning gingham in which pink and white stripes form a plaid design on a black background makes smart town suit which includes a softly tailored dress and a pert lit- tie bolero. The skirt of the dress is box pleated all around, with the pleats stitched down. The bodice is finished with a circular jabot of snowy white, crisp pique. The bolero would be nice with a plain white dress or white sharkskin slacks as we'll as with the matching plaid dress.

 Answer-Having waited wistfully for twenty-five years for some edu- cational institution to make step in that direction by establishing a course leading to the degree of Doc- tor of Preventive Medicine, I des- paired recently and just assumed the degree myself on the ground of my years of practice of preventive medicine. Sounds good, think: Wm. Brady, M. D., D. P. M., F. A. M. A., or what would you suggest. Seriously, the country needs more health doctors, doctors who practice private preventive medicine exclu- sively, but the public has a lot to learn yet before such a doctor can hope to live. Millions of wisacres still harbor a quaint notion of doc toring-no pills, no priffle. no pum- mel, no pay.

Gov. Lloyd C. Stark of Missouri,
who with the aid of the Federal Gov
ernment has virtually pulled down
Tom Pendergast, boss of the power
full Kansas City Democratic machine,
leaps into the public eye as a new
and interesting figure in national
politics.
In any other State than Missouri,
Gov. Stark's accomplishment would
at once place him in the already
swollen list of Democratic presi-
dental possibilities for 1910. In
deed. in certain wishful New Deal
quarters, the Stark for President
suggestion has been made almost
overnight. There are, however, sew
eral factors that appear to limit
Gov. Stark's advance in that di-
rection just now.
The first is Senator Bennett
Champ Clark and Gov. Stark's
friendship for him. Senator Clark
is not an avowed or active candidate
for the presidential nomination
not at this stage of the game. But
there seems no doubt that Senator
Clark expects the Missouri delega.
