News From Around Nebraska

One night last week the fremen at oshkosh received a d
and discovered a car burning fiercely on one Of the main streets
of the town. Not until after the blaze was out did they learn
that the whole thing was merely a practice run to see how alert
the men were and how long it would take to put out the blaze.
The Garden County News revealed that the Fire Chief had
noted that there had not been many fires and he felt that the
men needed practice. He got the old car from a junk yard, tow
ed it downtown after dark, flooded it with gasoline and set it
afire. He retired to the shadows and waited Tor someone U DIS
cover the blaze. In due time the alarm was turned in and the
firemen were on the job. The department put out the fire in
four minutes and twothrds of the departments membership
turned out.
The sheriff in Pierce county is preparing to lower the boom on
all persons who have not yet paid their personal taxes. According
to the Pierce County Leader, the personal taxes unpaid runs to

the books. The sheriff has reminded taxpayers that their bills are
drawing 10 interest and that they will have to pay his expenses
in coming out to make the collection if the bills are not paid soon.

6secOnd in a series of odd and in-
teresting farm inventions from the
files Of the United States Patent
Office.
OLIVER II BENNETT of North Da-
kota was not necessarily lazy farmer
It was that he was fond Of comfort and
convenience.
When other farmers had TO 60 to
town or market or take the team out
to the field for work, they had to tote
heavy whips to urge the beasts to great
er effort. But not Bennett.
He invented "A Mechanical Whip.
With his mechanical whip, a farmer
needs only to settle himself comfortably
in the buggy seat and the whip takes
over
Being very modest, Bennett claimed
his mechanical whip could be used on
anv form Of vehicle or agricultural
machine such as harvester, sulky plows.
binders, seeders, drills, cultivators or
the like.
With gears, springs. levers and
screws you set up this energy-saver.
With a degree of engineering from
some accredited university you may
be able to get this complicated gadget
to work.
By adjustment one can strike any
horse in any team without raising an
eyebrow. So says the inventor.
But Bennett probably never raised
enough cash to put this brain child into
production. In the front parlor there

FASHION NOTEBOOK
Transition CottOns
The Answer for Now

to consider is the cotton knit
shirt dress in dark Fall tones.
We think that these dresses
will soon be tagged classics
they're so comfortable. good
looking, and adaptable for 30
many occasions from going to
the Office to running down to
the grocery store in style. The
evolution of the T-shirt dress
from q sports shirt is testi-
mony to the fashion experts
who were able to translate the
popularity of one item into an
even more popular kind Of
fashion. The cotton knit dress
Is no fad-it's here to stay.
In checking back over some
of our Fashion Notebook jot-
tings we came across this one
that in its own way seems
prophetic. 1t was a CONVERSE
ton that we had a couple of
years ago with the late
Michele Murphy, curator of
the world-famous fashion
laboratory Of the Brooklyn

how fashion is a most sensi-
tive field and reacts the quick

and morality. Michele said
that the true mark OF good
design, however. is to be noted
when designs centuries later

The tempting array OF new
fall fashions being displayed
makes a prospective shopper
out of every woman who
glimpses them.
But what to wear at a time
like right now currently has
any number of women per-
picked. Washington's tropical
temperatures certainly aren't
conductive to the wearing of
woods now, no matter how
handsome the tweed costumes
and the wool jersey tops with
matching skirts.
To the rescue come the tran
sition cottons that enjoy q
longer life span in Washington
than In many another city.
These darkened cottons are
the answer right now to wear
ing a costume that has trim,
neat. and definitely pre-fall
look.
The charcoal tones of brown
and green are the newest in
the color family. Stripes,
checks, solids, tartans and tex
ture intrest in weaves win out
in the selection process. Be-
cause they're not on speaking
terms with wrinkles the
Thomas cottons are certainly
right for right now.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Sept. Q
Although overloaded with play.
ers the Redskins still are inter-
ested in signing a defensive back
to plug a weakness that cropped
up in Tuesday nights 1928 tie
with the Baltimore Colts.
Coach Joe Kuharich blamed
the fourth-period letdown on the
backs failure to follow assign
ments. but he still insists that
the team played a bang-up game
against a tough defensive outfit
Kuharich has no irons in the
trading fire at the moment, but
the Redskins are ready to make
q deal that will help the team,
and an experienced defensive
back would help. The Chicago
Bears, who play the Washing
ton eleven here tomorrow night,
have asked waivers on Paul Lips
comb, former Redskins tackle,
and he'd like to rejoin his old
teammates, but there is little
chance Of that.
Bears Supposed to Be Good
The Bears could give the Red
skins a real good shellacking, de-
pending on whether Kuharich
decides to try more rockies or
puts his strongest team on the
field. The Chicago club is sup
posed to be one of the best fielded
by George Halas since the days
when the Midway Monsters
ruled the National Football
League, but a 21-6 defeat by the
Chicago Cardinals and last
weeks 27-20 loss to the Phila-
delphia Eagles indicate the Bears
are a long way from their goal.
However. Bob Swisher, one
