Brooks Returns From Grave, To
Recount Episode Of New York Visit

thought to myself, my God
what am to do?. Here I am
locked up in a grave yard the
darkest night that ever blew and
Johnny and Ethel tmy son and
wife, will have all available police
looking for me and they will never
think of looking in a grave yard
for lost man unless they were
looking for a lunatic who had just
escaped from the asylum.
Well I started cropping my way
around the fence hoping to find
some way of escape but to no
avail. Finally and fortunately I
spied living man on the outside
in the darkness who was passing
by and I yelled for help. He said
there was nothing he could do
but for me to just keep on going
in the same direction and to keep
as close to the fence as possible
until reached the extreme lower
end of the graveyard and there I
would find gate where one of
the caretakers lived and if they
happened to be at home they
would let me out.
So I proceeded slowly on my
fearful and nervous journey
among the tombs and ! imagined
I could see tall and stately ghosts
moving about in all directions and
it seemed I could feel them hang.
ing onto my coat tail. A little
further on passed through a
section of the cemetery where
the poor people had been buried
and the graves and headstones
were as thick as hops, all the
same size, white and about knee
high. I kept humping into them
until I had skinned both Shins
from top to bottom. The white
headstones in the dark looked
like thousands of spooks dancing
jig.
A little farther on was a newly
dug grave which had not been
completed and you've guessed it
II fell in. It was about waist
deep and It give me an awful
Jolt but did not get seriously
hurt. I had q hard time getting
out but finally made the grade
and proceeded on my way In
search of the gate which l soon
found and heaved a great sigh OF
relief and proceeded to open the
gate which was not locked but
only tied with large rope.
No lights were visible in the
caretakers house nor in his back
ward. His back yard was also
fenced in with q high metal fence
which ] could not surrhount. and
while was thinking the situation
over and resting for a moment
two big German police dogs came
pitching out at me and thought
was going to be eaten up alive
and yelled for help.
Just for the moment was
really in imminent danger and
this was the biggest scare Of all.
Fortunately the folks were at
home and the lady of the house
came rushing out with a big club
and beat the dogs off, opened the
gate and let me out. Boy was I
tickled!
The lady was very kind and
SYMPATHETIC but had q hearty
laugh at my misfortune.
Every grave in this cemetery
was the recipient and guard Of
those dead bodies buried one on
top of the other and the topmost
one was so near the surface he
could reach out and nab you while
you were passing by and that
made my adventure all the more
and nerve Wracking.
And believe me its no fun to step
off into a hole waist deep in the

Woman's World
Alter Your Dresses to Conform
To Individual Figure Problem
&y G,tta Wakx

DRESSING to look your most
~ attractive and becoming is one
Of the most fascinating and interest
absorbing hobbies a woman can
have. Not only does she have fab
rics and styles of all description at
her command, but also she can get
expert advice on any individual fig
ure problem with which she has to
cope.
While the average woman has
figure far from fawless, it can be
made to look close to perfection just
IN the way she grooms and dresses
herself.
You don't even have to invest in
new clothing to have the proper
clothes, for with a few pieces of
cloth and nimble fingers you can
transform last years dresses into a
really exciting wardrobe for this
season. With little close observa-
ton, you'll see possibilities for i'm
provement in almost every garment
you have.
For the large-hipped figure, moth
ing has been as much of a good
thing as the peplum. This is the
trick that can slim inches off hips
and straighten the lines of the fig
ure into something resembling per-
lection.
Peplums can be cut in any num-
Der Of shapes and lengths. Cut them
smooth and artfully If you want to
slim inches off the hipline. Or, If
you want to add inches, give them a
starch and pert hustle effect.
Fabric for the peplum-provided
you do not make one of the same
material as the dress-can come
from any number of sources such
as from a discarded dress, old bro

cade draperies or a WORKOUT satin
slip. O..
Peplums need not be sewed on
the dress, for interesting effects
can be achieved by tying, button
ing or swapping them on.
Use Vests, Boleros
For Two-Piece Look
One of the tricks that makes
clothing useful in more than one
way Is the use of accessories. There
are dresses with a front that will
take a number of vests so that the
basic garment can look different
and thus be used for many occa-
sions.
Then there are the boleros-bo-
leros over dresses in a contrasting
color or boleros with different skirts
and blouses, thus offering innumer-
able ways of changing the basic
garment.
Black skirts, for example, will
look entirely different if you wear
them with black and white
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1947-10-10

men and women are not so differ
ent but what you can make it sue
cess, too.
Put That Land to Work.
If you have 1874 acres of top farm
land still uncultivated, you are
doing your country and, inciden-
tally yourself, an injustice. Get
some government bulletins, the ad-
vice Of your county agriculture
agent, and a man to help make
all that land profitable. Without in
the least abandoning your help to
your mother, you can get a bust
ness started there that will satisfy
your very soul. For there is no work
so exciting, so fascinating, so profit
able as to make good Mother Earth
your partner. Chickens, wheat,
prunes, walnuts, berries-the world
cannot get enough of them,. and
plain dairy cattle pay fine dividends
right from the first.
You are making the mistake so
many wives make. You are trying
to live Adele's life instead of your
own. Let her work out her own solu-
ton, and concentrate on yours. That
she is the chief moneymaker now is
a postwar accident. Evidently she is
happy in her work, and successful
and why not? Make your end of it
equally fascinating and successful.
Build breakfast porch, paint
room here and take down a parti-
ton there, revel in the society of
your mother and your girls. What
ever Adele may think now, yours is
the better chance for permanent
building and planning.
You were lucky in the war years
to obtain rank, get high pay, have
interesting work and come home
uninjured. Then came Adele's turn
for a little luck; she made herself
invaluable to a business partner and
was rewarded. But never forget
that for years Adele-with all this
ambition and capability pent up in
side her-was doing exactly what
you find so humiliating: caring for
home and babies, busting, cooking,
marketing and asking you for
money enough to meet the bills.

of $4,500,000 for the late Mrs. R.
M. Cadwalader of Philadelphia

yacht of Turkey. Although having

Exports Slump

Is it possible that in the mad
scramble for more and more profits
American business is pricing itself
out of the export market Exports
tobogganed 7 per cent in July and
even more in August.
One reason Britain pulled out of
the American market is that be-
tween the time we extended the
$3.50, 100000 loan and they made
arrangements to spend it in our ex-
port market, rapidly spiralling
prices of foods and other commodi-
ties wiped out almost Is per cent
IF the grant in terms of dollar value.
There seems to be, despite the
the assertion of Sen. Robert Taft
(Rep., Ohio to the contrary, a
real demand for November
session of congress, and it is
likely one will be called. There
is a rapidly growing sentiment
among members Of both house
and senate to get away from
the dozens Of "whO done it,
probes and to spend this time in
working out vital legislation.
Cronies Are Missing
What has happened to President
Humans old Missouri "cronies"?
In filing 81 top policy-making jobs
this year Mr.. Truman named only
2 from Missouri while he picked
10 from New York. In 1945 he
named 10 men from Missouri to ex-
ecutive positions. Balance of the 81
appointments were scattered among
81 states, with a ratio Of 8 DEM
ocrats to Republican. In his
first year, Mr.. Truman named about
Democrats to Republican to
key jobs.

War Profteering

Speaking OF profits, house sub
committee investigating settlement
of war contracts has been told some
$4,000 contracts have been settled
at cost of more than eight bill
lion dollars to the government, and
that an audit of only 1.5 per cent
of those contracts disclosed fraud
and overpayment of more than six
millions.
That's taxpayers money, and, if
the charge is true, it would seem
that the NAM would be just a little
red in the face over these disclo-
sures Of patriotism. Congressman
George Bender (Rep., Ohio) says
the hearings will "shield no one
who is guilty of fraud or of getting
overpayment."

tllre and in color. You may find use
Tor leftovers here, an odd piece of
bright wool, silk or rayon from an
other dress or skirt, coat or rem
nant counter.
Don't forget that buttons can do
a lot toward decorating the cos
tune, as can belts and sashes,
whichever fits your figure.
Check Your Scarfs
For Potentialities
There is no happier solution to the
problem of perking up dress in
many cases than the scarf. Perhaps
you already have several with
which you have experimental by
tying them in jabot for an inter
esting neckline, or around the waist
In an apron effect.
For those of you with several
dark basic dresses, the scarf offers
wonderful potentialities. The larger
ones can be tied around the neck
and all over the front waist of a
dress to give it an entirely new ap-
pearance. There are several ways
of using them around the necks
of dresses and suits, and they also
may be fashioned into belts, aprons,
hustle effects, etc.
A very happy solution to adding
color to the dark costume, whether
1t be dress or suit, is to use two
scarfs, one at the neckline and an
other on the hat.
If you are definitely the dramatic
type, use an exotic print of one of
the rich solid colors. If you are
more fair, there are several paisley
prints that will do the job beauti-
fully.
Add glitter to your scarfs by out
lining the pattern with bright metal
or plastic sequins. Just a splatter-
ing of them will give you the basis
for a dressy costume.
For fabric sources for scarfs,
select old slips, full skirted dresses,
particularly evening wear, table
cloths, draperies, sheets and rem
nant counters. Look also for soiled
scarfs that can be cleaned when
sold at reduced prices.
Tips Given for
Figure Problems
If you are tall, you may wear
equal length jackets and more tai
lored clothes. If you are short, don't
choose severely masculine effects in
clothing
Tall women may use lots of con-
trasting colors and other effects
that break up long lines in clothing.
Short women should avoid strong,
two-tone effects especially in the
light or bright shades. Jackets
should be scaled to the figure.
Short people should try to stay
away from most peplum styles un-
less they happen to run into some
thing particularly effective. Prin-
cess lines and boleros can be used
by them very effectively, while the
tall woman should steer clear of the
latter.
Tall women may wear slightly
heavier fabrics and styles such as
the great coat, as they have the
height to carry it. Short women
should choose fabrics and styles
which are in proportion to their
size. Small patterns and lighter
weight softer fabrics are designed
for them.
The taller person may use more
accessories than the short one. "A
tiny person looks loaded down If she
carries too large q bag, gloves with
large cuffs or tremendous hats.
The short person should have
color breaks at the top or bottom Of
the figure while the tall person may
have the break at the center.

The fact also remains that the

and did nothing about it except
to echo the promises of the Ma

and business leaders that once
''free enterprise" was rid Of

It is highly probable that the
next session Of congress will see a
