a buy as similar grades Of new or re
processed wool.
LINING-Rayon Innings have been
taking the place Of more and more
silk Innings in the past few years.
Pme-dye silk, Of course, has long been
a favorite, but-with the ban on raw
silk imports-how long this will be
available is somewhat uncertain right
now Weighted silks are short-hyed
For most purposes, good quality rayon
is highly satisfactory. Such Innings
last well. Be sure seams in rayon lin
ings are generous and well-stitched
Otherwise they may fray badly.
INTERLINING-If the coat is
closed at the lower edge, ask he clerk
to rip it in one place so you can see
the interlining. Wool interlinings are
lightweight, warm and not bulky.
Mapped cotton is not heavy enough
for frigid weather Chamois-like ma
terial is very warm, and is a very good
wind break. Quilted wool is eXcep-
tionally warm, but somewhat bulky.
If the interlining and lining are
scanned separately the coat will look
better and fit better.
MARKS OF A WELL-MADE COAT

FIT-Youll probably be wearing q
coat for several years, so take the
time now to check every detail Of fit
before you buy. Uncomfortable shout
ders-a collar that rides up on the
-armholes that are too loose or
too tight, will make you dissatisfied
with your coat every time you wear
it. See if the sleeves are long enough.
Can you walk, sit, reach in the coat
comfortably? Can you button the col
lar without choking? For maximum
warmth, get sleeves shaped to the
wrists, a straight skirt with a wide
front overlap, and fastenings placed
to keep the coat from blowing open.
OUTSIDE MATERIAL-Find out
first Of all about fiber content. This
year you'll see a new kind of helpful
label to help you The new Wool Pro
ducts Labelling Act, effective since
last July, makes it compulsory that
wool coat be honestly labeled as to it's
exact wool content-the kind Of wool
in it-and the manufacturers name.
Also there must be listed the amount

makes up to as much as 5 per cent of

If you're single and making more

Federal Administration has spent
more than it has received since 1888,
and during the next year and succeed
ing years the taxpayers are going to
realize it more and more.
If you must pay an income tax you
will not be lonesome. You'll be one of
the nations IS million who must do
the same.
The recently enacted 1888 100000
revenue bill requires that every sin
gle person making more than $3.50 a
year or family head making more than
$1,000 must file an income tax re
turn. About 22,108,OOO will file. The
nine million who will get off will have
allowable deductions and credits such
as boys and girls and church contribu-
lions and the like.
Congress added to the four percent
normal tax, in force for many years,
a new system of income surtaXes start
ing at six per cent on the first dollar
of taxable income. The six per cent
rate applies to the first $4,000 of tax
able income, taxable income being
what's left after you've subtracted the
deductions for church, charity, etc.
and the exemptions for self, wife and
dependents.
On the second $4,000 the rate is nine
per cent; on the third $4,000 thirteen
per cent, and so on, the surtaXes going
as high as seventy-seven per cent on
income above $5,O00,OOO. But OF
course, we won't have to worrgs.about
that

to be paid next year on several sam

Ten Commandments OF Safety
With the advent of the hunting sea-
son, there is being released with every
hunting license issued at the Court
House the following ten command
ments of safety:
Treat every gun with the respect
due a loaded gun. This is the cardinal
rule of gun safety.
Garry only empty guns, taken down
or with the action open, into your au-
tomobile, camp or home.
Always be sure that the barrel and
action are clear of Instructions.
Always carry your gun so that you
can control the direction of the muz-
zle even if you stumble.
Be sure of your target before you
pull the trigger.
Never point gun at anything you
do not want to shoot.
Never leave your gun unattended
unless you unload it first.
Never climb tree or Tense with
loaded gun.
Never shoot at a fiat, hard surface
or the surface of water.
Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol.

A NEW COAT

This year, buying winter coat is a
problem with many new angles. The
moment woman starts Gust look
ing" she notes the effects of the ma
tional and international situations.
Wool prices are on the rise. Silk,
used for Innings, is having situation
all its own. Furs, favorite coat trim,
are on the taxable luxury list. Conse-
quently, many of this seasons coats
stress simplicity both of style and
material. Especially popular in the
low-price range probably will be the
smart injured box and princess
styles that may be worn for many
seasons without becoming dated.
In line with the general accent
on conservation Of materials, a woman
will be wise this year to give closer
attention than ever to details of coat
quality. The coat may have to last a
little longer than usual Careful buy
ing will enable her to get the best
materials she can afford in a we'll
made coat
Many are the details of coat quality.
Some of these can be checked easily
by looking at, feeling Of and trying
on the coat Other qualities are hid
den-such as coIorfastness and shrink
age. A big help in judging these hid
den qualities are printed tags or labels
with factual information on them. Il
there are no labels or if the labels
are incomplete, next best thing is to
ask the clerk or the stores buyer
about them.

add a little gay color TO things
for the present by sending
thoughtful gifts and cards at

This adds more excitement

THE OLD WOMAN
As a white candle
In a holy place,
So is the beauty
Of an aged face.
As the spent radiance
Of the winter sun,
50 is the woman
With her travail done.
Her brood gone from her,
And her thoughts as still
As the waters
Under ruined mill.
