Felt Hats Crowned
By Dizzy Heights

The most noticeable thing about
the new felt hats is their crowns.
which mount to dizzy heights. To
add to their spectacular rise in the
world they are manipulated into fan.
tastic shapes which are breathtak-
ing in their daring and their origi-
nality.
Designed to be worn with suits are
small cloche brirns with tall taper
ing crowns, some with self-bow &C.
cents, others having their outlines
softened with gracefully dangling
tassels.
Feathers galore will also adorn
the new hats. You can get all
plumage turbans, or, if it's a huge
felt beret you are wearing, it has
more than likely taken on a Spec
tacular cog sweep in vivid coloring.
F'elts also are taking on intriguing
crochet accents. Colors important
in millinery displays include salute
blue, commando tan, Australian
green and goodly showing of gray.

When you hear a Marine called
a "Leatherneck," it has nothing
to do with the epidermis of his
neck. Years ago the Marine uni
form was equipped with a high
stiff leather collar supposed to
give a more military carriage.
From that time on, Leather

Marine. The word for his favorite

PADDY THE BEAVER GIVES
WARNING

GRANDFATHER FROG sat on
~ his green lily-pad in the Smiling
Pool. It seemed to him that never
before had the hearts of the lilies
been so golden, or the sky so blue,
or the laughter of the Laughing
Brook so merry, or the ripples of
the Smiling Pool so charming. On
another ily-pad near him sat Spotty
the Turtle. Billy Mink and Little
Joe Otter were stretched out on the
bank, and lazily swimming just in
front was Jerry Muskrat. Grand
father Frog was telling them of his
adventures and what he thought of
the Great World.
II have always told my cousin,
old Mr.. Toad, that the Smiling Pool
is a much better place than the

fore ever went out to see for my
self, and now know it," said
Grandfather Frog.
Billy Mink and Little Joe Otter
began to laugh. Grandfather Frog
looked at them severely. what
are you laughing at?" he demand
ed.
Much you know the Great World!
Why, you haven't seen a tiny corner
of it," laughed Billy Mink, who. you
know, is great traveller.
Grandfather Frog drew himself up
proudly and replied in his most dig
nified way, II will have you to I'M

seen the Great World, and it is no
place for honest people to live in.''
did you visit Farmer Browns
dooryard?" asked Little Joe Otter.
"Or the heart of the Green For
est?"
''Or the Old Pasture?"
To each of these questions Grand
father Frog was forced to shake his
head. 1t was rather Notifying to
have to admit that after all he had
been but very little way out into
the Great World, and he was trying
to think of some sharp reply when
Jerry Muskrat suddenly shouted,
''Here comes my big cousin. Paddy
the Beaver! Hello. Cousin Paddy!
Where have you been all summer"
Everybody turned to look in the
direction Jerry was pointing. There,
sure enough, was Paddy the Beaver
swimming out from the Laughing
Brook. Billy Mink and Little Joe
Otter stared. They had never seen
him before. Grandfather Frog and
Spotty the Turtle bowed politely.
They had met him the time of the
great trouble in the Smiling Pool
and the Laughing Brook when the
water had nearly stopped running
because way up in the Green Forest
Paddy had built dam across the
Laughing Brook. He had torn it
down when his cousin had told him
how he had spoiled the Laughing
Brook and the Smiling Pool.
1--WE come to give warming" said
Paddy as he drew near.
Warning of what?" asked Grand
father Frog.
''That I'm going to make my home
up in the Green Forest" replied
Paddy.

Wartime Restrictions Made
At Nelson and River Dams

MALTA-AS the recreation season
approaches its peak, the reclamation
service announces again necessary
restrictions placed on boating and
fishing on bodies of water controlled
by the government. Superintendent
Harold w. Genger points out that
1t is desirable to use as completely
as possible the facilities offered by
these bodies of water but at the
same time wartime precautions
must and will be enforced.
AT Nelson reservoir the principal
restriction is aimed at parking au-
tomobileS on the reservoir bikes. a
practice strictly forbidden. Thus
far it is not forbidden to fish from
the bikes nor to use boats near them.
The cooperation of all Sportsmen is
requested in keeping parked cars off
the bikes and in reporting any I'M
usual occurrences nea the outlet
structures or the dikeS.
Fishing, boating or treSpaSsing of
any kind r strictly taboo within
500 feet above and below the Dod-
son and Vandalia dams.
AT Fresno dam west of Havre the
same prohibition is in effect. The
picnic grounds will be left open to
the public, however, and users are
urged to keep the grounds clear of
picnic debris. The road across
the dam remains open but parking
dam and bridge is prohibited.
Boating after dark on any of these
bodies of water is prohibited for the
duration.

Three pumping units, the Kin

canal. Two other units, Medicine

water from Medicine Lake reserv-
cir, formed by the dam across the

be served partially by gravity and
partially by pumping from Medicine
