Mans Pockets
Hold Strange
Collection
BY HELEN ROWLAND

SEE that the cleaners are
urging the public all over the
country 10 refrain from leaving
so many valuables in the pock-
cts Of their clothes.
1t seems that nearly $4,000
was found and returned by them
last year, as well as every sort
of article, from a compact and
a hundred dollar bill TO a dead
fish and an automatic revolver.
All, well, the cleaners won't
have TO worry much longer as
we shall probably soon have
nothing 10 put in our pockets
except a lucky nail-and even
that may he wanted for defense
work, if Uncle Sam finds out
about it.
OF COURSE. going through a
husbands pockets is an old Joe
Miller joke. these days.
We wives do our treasure
hunting under the cushions of
the big armchair, and are salts
fled il hubby doesn't go hunting
through our Stacks for cigarets.
But. if you have never gone
through a mans pockets. you
have an amazing and enlighten-
ing adventure ahead of you.
Most men are hoarderS of the
queereSt things which they carry
home for their wives TO find
cloSet-room for.
No matter how much money
they may throw away on the
horses or cards, they never
want to throw away a swiZZle
stick, a piece of string. A rusty
nail, a key-to-nothing-at-all. a
fish-hook, a funny newspaper
clipping or an old hat.
THIS MASCULINE hOdfdlng
habit must be throw-back, A
reversion 10 boyhood. when they
saved dead frogs, marbles, apple
cores and garter-snakes.
Women, il seems, never leave
over 10 cents in the pockets of
their golf Stacks, or a few pen
MES, a compact or a lipStick.
A woman isn't given 10 carry
ing much in her pockets because
that makes her hips bulgy-look-
ing. Besides. there has never
been any sex-equality in the
pocket-racket, and even today
b no woman has as many pockets
TO lose things in as a man has.
No, woman'S treasure chest
is her pocketbook; if you are a
man, you would probably be
astoniShed TO see its contents
laid out in the broad daylight.
THE LOAD of Junk which
the average business girl carries
around with her would inspire
Uncle Sam to suspect her Of

Reflects Care

Hair, YOU know, is so tenn
peramental we just have 10 give
il IT'S due amount of grooming.
1t will proclaim its neglect by
coarseness and lack OF luster
just as definitely as does the
abused complexion.
Girls have learned In value
their hair as an asset To their
charm and daintiness. Nightly
brushings and good shsmpoos
are all just part OF the
routine.
The shampoo is so important.
Never think of going through
the operation unless il is per-
fectly done. This means pre-
liminary brushing. several
applications OF the best sham
poo, good scalp manipulation
and a thorough final rinse.
Brush Dry
For the home shampoo use a
towel TO absorb the excess water
then. while II is wet. comb and
brush dry. A lemon rinse AL
ways adds 10 the sheen but this
brushing while wet will be sure
TO result in q fine silky gloss
and give the surface a lovely
Smoothness.
If you have time for final
polish with silk you will be
thrilled with the added elegance
of a perfumed rub. THIS may be
done with one of your little
Sachet pads. They are Of silk or
satin and will leave the hair
exquisitely scented.
Use Caution
When using the brush. stroke
TO the ends of the hair without
the final whipping of the ends.
This breaks the hair so make
the stroke firm and smooth.
This fashion in quality should
last as with this kind of healthy
hair texture all styles are at
tractive. The long bobs are like
halos Of sunshine and formal
coiffures will be the height OF
Smartness and good grooming.
Don't forget that calcium is
one of the essentials in the
beauty diet for hair and nail
beauty. Drink your daily glass
or two OF milk and be sure 10
include fruits and leafy salads
in at least one meal every day.

HUTCHINSON, Kans., July l9.-Take
a look at the old dust bowl now-it's
turned itself into horn of plenty.
Right now it is producing one of the
greatest wheat crops in its bread bowl
history.
The IA Southwestern Kansas corner
counties, which at one time or another
were a part Of the old dust bowl. have
started cutting a wheat crop which, un
less all signs fail, will total around
35 900 900 bushels.
With wheat bringing nearly 81 a
bushel, that isn't hay.
Combines and binders-some of them
old ones almost buried in dust a few
years ago-are clattering around huge
fields that were scared graveyards of
hope back in 1885 and 1886.
And the wheat crop is only starter.
Row crops-corn and sorghums-are
promising fine yields next fall fat. sleek
cattle stand knee deep in lush pasture
growth; well-fed sheep nibble away at
green meadows: streams are flowing;
farm ponds are full; trees green, farmers
happy and impliment dealers busy.
Soil is moist to a great depth, tndicat-
ing hope for next year also.
Contracted with conditions flve and six
years ago, todayis picture Is almost Nm
believable-the near desert has become
a garden.
For instance, at Liberal, IN the south
western corner of Kansas, people were

wearing dust masks back in 1885 and
1886, top soil was blowing away and piling
UP around deserted farm buildings; farm
implements were buried under dust dunes,
water was scarce, ponds dry, stock dying.
1t was dismal picture.
People Had Faith.
But residents had faith in the country.
It'll come back" they said.
That's what has happened.
Today, Seward County, of which Lib
eral is the county seat. is expecting a
wheat harvest of 100000 bushels.
Other crops are good Moisture has been
abundant. In fact, Liberals biggest
weather trouble all year was a 6-inch
rain that flooded part Of the town.
This years wheat crop is the area S
first good one in 10 years. 1t is a
part of huge Kansas crop expected
to total 185.0O00OO bushels-enough to
feed the entire Nation for four months.
Most counties in the western and CEN
trail areas have bumper prospects.
One Of the discouraged, but not de-
feated ones back in 1885 was Luther
Trssd, who farms south of Tribune In
Greeley County.
In 1885 1t looked hopeless, as if 1t
would be impossible ever TO get the
ground back IN production, as If the
ground was lost. There was practically
no livestock in the county. Farmers had

pends on you 1t will give you plenty Of
good quarters for the winter and
speedy return to your country"
The 21st bulletin, issued September 20,
1872, described conditions found by Ma
poleon when he entered Moscow after
it had been set aflame by the Russians.
Though he was beginning to see the
folly of his deep penetration into Rus
sian territory, he let no indication OF
that creep into his statement After re-
porting arrest of 300 incendiaries, he
sent these words to the outside world:
while Rostopchin was taking away
the fire engines of the city, he left be-
hind much ammunition. This is
matter of Importance. We are now sup
piled with ammunition for two cam
paigns. We every day discover cellars
full of wine and brandy. Manufactures
were beginning to flourish at Moscow;
they are now destroyed. The confagra-
ton of this capital will throw Russia 100
years back. The weather is becoming
rainy. The greater part of the French
Army now is in barracks in Moscow"
The last two sentences evidently were
added for back home" consumption to
offset any thought that winter was going
to bring distress to the army.
Expected Disaster.
In another bulletin, Napoleon put forth
this wordage when he must have had a
fairly accurate idea of disasters he
would encounter in retreating from
Moscow:
"The emperor participates in the feel
ing which will animate his good citizens
of Paris upon learning that his imperial
majesty is approaching his capital. 1t
is for their glory that he braves all sea-
sons and all climates. 1t is for their
glory that he spreads his arms from
the Pillars of Hercules to the Arctic
Circle. The time has not yet arrived
for the emperor to develop the great
plans he at present meditates. They are
locked in the sacred shrine of his noble
bosom and will be unfolded by high
destiny. The cavalry are in complete
order There is great nutriment in the
pastures around Moscow The air has
been found peculiarly propitious for the
curing Of gunshot wounds"

Army Bulletins" these being intended to
provide the world with a censored and
controlled report of what happened when
the invasion got under way. The first
bulletins gave the impression that the
campaign against Russia was going to be
a gallop to glory. The French statement
presenting first casualty figures claimed
Napoleon had inflicted heavy losses upon
the enemy and had taken $500 prisoners.
French Army casualties were set at 80
killed, 100 wounded and 10 captured.
"a great number of officers of the
Russian staff and papers have fallen into
our hands, it was claimed in one bulle-
tin, the tone of which was much like that
of Hitlers first invasion statements few
weeks ago.
Three weeks later a statement from
Russian headquarters brought first indi-
cation that all was not going so we'll with
the invaders. 1t read in part, as follows:
1T is clear that from every circum-
stance the French Emperor has been
forced, in consequence of our mode OF
conducting the campaign, to change his
original plan of operations"
The plan, calling for strategic retreats
and the destruction of everything in the
path of the advancing invader, produced
definite results During almost month
no bulletins issued by Napoleon we're re-
ceived by European editors, and, conse-
uuently, ships brought no news from his
camp to America.
Printed in Maine.
Then a paper in Portland, Me-, printed
this paragraph, copied from the London
Courier of August 81, 1872, in its issue
dated October 10, 1872:
I'VE can now account for the delay OF
transmittal of French bulletins to this
country. The last received was dated on
the 25th of last month. The French had
no favorable intelligence to announce
since the date of the last bulletin. They
have been worsted in every encounter
with the Russians"
When Napoleon finally managed to get
his army near Moscow, the 18th Grand
Army Bulletin" was issued. 1t presented
his appeal to his army in these words:
"Soldiersl Behold The field Of battle

growing rapidly You wouldn't think
it possible. You'd have to see 1t 10 be-
lieve it could happen"
Won Wager.
Another Greeley County farmer who
tightened his belt in 1885 and dug in was
Simon Fishman, former State Senator
and a big wheat raiser.
Fishman once won an extended rail-
road trip in a private car by betting a
big rail executive Greeley would raise
more than 100000 bushels of grain.
That was back in the late 20s. Since
1881, however. Greeley County hasn't
raised much wheat.
But this year Fishman is looking for

ably even less than this amount was ex-
pended, for we find that when war was
deemed imminent with Great Britain,
Maj. L'Enfant was directed to proceed
to Fort Washington and to ascertain and
report its condition for defense, which
he did on May %, 1913, and though he
was not favorably impressed with the
design OF the fort, yet he urged a suit

proper condition for the defense of the
Potomac.
However, when the British sailed up
the river three days after the burning
of Washington by Gen. Ross, Capt Sam

charge, did not attempt to test the re-
sistance and stability Of the fort, but
forthwith blew it up and made a hasty
retreat, for which he was later court
martialed and dismissed from the servic
Unfounded Rumor.
After the British had left Alexandri
and had sailed down the river ther-
was a rumor that they intended to re-
turn, rumor that proved unfounded
But the people of the District of Co.
lumbia were quite alarmed and accord
ing to Christian Hines, 80 met at
Lewis Tavern on Pennsylvania avenue,
in an old brick house, near where Dr.
johnson now resides, between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets west.
There We discussed the matter and
finally concluded to appoint commit
tee of three to make collections among
the citizens for the purpose of employing
workmen to go to Fort Washington to
assist in repairing it. An election was
held, which resulted in the selection of
William Worthington and John Gardi-
ner, Esq, and myself as collectors for
that purpose. I believe it was George
Graham Esq, who favored me with the
nomination.
"On the next morning We commenced
the work of collecting and succeeded in
raising about as much as would enable
us to purchase provisions sufficient to
last about week. And, as what was TO
be done had to be accomplished quickly,
1t was concluded among us that I, being
the youngest and most active at that
time, should make all necessary arrange
ments to employ laborers, engage a YES
sci to take us down to Fort Washington
and to do whatever else was necessary
to our speedy departure on our expedi-
ton, while they would continue the COL
lection of money and be prepared to
pay off the men on our return from the

with this arrangement I was well
pleased, and Immediately commenced
