Y., Dec. 6.—A demand for a federal investigation of the race riots and election frauds in Floridan and other southern states is being made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the association, who has just returned to New York from Jacksonville, Ocoee, Orlando and other parts of Orange county, Fla., where he had been making an investigation of the race riots which took place on election day and during the week following, reports that upward of 4,000 affidavits will be collected and handed to the Department of Justice, showing violations of both state and federal election laws. The work of the mob in Ocoee on November 3, he charges, has been minimized and suppressed. On going over the scene of the riots he found many houses, churches, school houses and a lodge hall burned, and none of the reports places the number of Negro men and women who were burned, lynched or shot at less than 32. "Negro Ponzi" Guilty Chicago Operator Was to Pay When He Won $10,000,000 Suit. Chicago, Dec. 2.—Dr. J. Elbert Robinson, a Negro, described as "Chicago's colored Ponzi," was found guilty by a jury today of operating a confidence game. Dr. Robinson, testimony showed, claimed the American Car and Foundry company owed him $10,000,000 for infringement of patents for a "hard iron wheel" and that he had suits pending to collect the money. To raise money for the alleged prosecution of these suits he sold his notes, for from ten to twenty-five times the amount he received from the buyer, the difference constituting the purchaser's profit when, and if, the courts decided in his favor. Testimony showed that hundreds of people, white and colored, had "invested" in Robinson's notes. During the trial Robinson rode to and from the court building in an imported racing car driven by a livered chauffeur. The conviction carries a sentence of from one to ten years in prison. Bail was set at $10,000. North Carolina Mob Seeks Five Negroes One Man is Shot in Attack on Court House to Get Men Being Tried for Murder. Goldsboro, N. C.—Excitement prevailed tonight in the vicinity of the county Court House here, where five Negroes were placed on trial for murder late today. Heavy firing was in progress at 9 o'clock and one man was reported seriously wounded. The Court House was guarded by deputized citizens, and after the exchange of shots the mob dispersed. State troops were reported on their way here on a special train, but no further attempt to reach the prisoners had been made at 10 o'clock. The prisoners have been kept in the state prison at Raleigh since their arrest on days ago, following the murder of Hermann Jones, a grocer of this city. The sheriff, in bringing them here for trial, evaded a mob that awaited the party at the station by getting off the train and spending last night in the woods with his prisoners. He flagged a train, and went back to Raleigh, reporting to Judge 'Deven' of the Supreme court that troops would be necessary if a trial was to be held. The court, however, sent the five prisoners back to Goldsboro later in custody of county officers from Raleigh, and the trial began after a party of several hundred Goldsboro citizens had been deputized to guard them. HAITIANS PROTEST CLOSING OF INQUIRY Say They Have More Witnesses for Naval Board—Daniels Orders Investigation, Washington, Dec. 2, "Citizens of Haiti" have the protested to Secretary Daniels against the departure from their country of the Naval Board of Inquiry until additional witnesses have been heard in the investigation into the conduct of the marines force occupying Census Shows Rush of Negroes To-wards the North Upon receipt of the telegram the Naval Secretary immediately instructed Rear Admiral Knapp, who represents both the state and navy departments in Haiti, to conduct an informal hearing at which witnesses who did not appear bemore the Mayo board might testify. Should this testimony warrant such action the secretary said that he would order the Mayo board back to Haiti or convene a new board.

Campaign Against Social Diseases Washington, D. C., Dec. 4.—Plans for a three year continuous campaign against social diseases in North and South America was considered at the all-American conference which opened here Sunday. It was the first of a series of regional conferences suggested by the international health conference held at Cannes, France, under supervision of the League of Red Cross Societies. The conference also considered problems relating to medical investigation, education as a means of controlling the diseases, law enforcement, and protective social influences. Efforts that will be made to formulate a program for a three year trial based on the content that any short period is inadequate to demonstrate the efficiency of methods either curative or preventive. It was the hope of some of the conferences that the endorsement of such a program would carry the suggestion that the treatment may be made compulsory and conducted under government control. Census Returns for Dayton, Peoria and Other Cities. Washington, D. C., Nov. 29.—(Special)—Figures announced by the census bureau regarding white and Negro population for Peoria, Ill., show that the Negro population of the city constituted only 2.8 per cent of the total population, a gain f nly ne-half of ne per cent since 1910. The population of Peoria was given as 76,121 for 1920 of which 73,977 are white, 2,131 Negro and 13 others, Chinese, Japanese and Indians. In 1910 there were 1,569 Negroes and 65,361 whites. The white population constituted 9,712 per cent of the total population in 1920 and 97.6 per cent in 1910. For Fort Wayne, Ind., figures showed a total population of 86,549, and that of them 85,051 are write, 1,476 Negroes and 22 of other races. In 1910 the figures were: White 63,340; Negro 572. Negro population of Fort Wayne now is 1.7 per cent of the total, a gain of seven-tenth of one per cent since 1910. Census Returns for Dayton, Schenectady and Other Cities Washington, Nov. 29.—Figures of Pickens a Noted Orator Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 30—William Pickens, the noted Negro scholar and orator, is addressing large mixed audiences in this section of the country and incidentally taking note of the social and economic problems which are holding the special interest of people all along the Pacific coast line. He has been accorded a hearty reception wherever he has appeared and his opinions on public questions have been cagely sought. In a recent interview he has this to say on the "Japanese Question" as it appears to him: "You must have noticed that when one is prejudiced against you, your very virtues become vices in his sight. As an outsider I have been interested to note the 'accusations' which the white man of the Pacific coast naively makes against the Japanese." "I have heard them complain, as I rode with them on the trains, that the 'Japs have all the business in such-and-such a little coast town,'"—that they cater in some other places,—that their restaurants sell more food for the same money than any white restaurant (think how a white restaurant would be praised if this could be said of them), that they show a disposition to thrive where the white man falls." "Just think of a race being 'accused' of all this crime! More than that. I saw one great San Francisco daily complaining against the Japanese high birth rate and the child-bearing superiority of the Nippon women. It was contemptuously said that one out of every thirteen babies born in California last year was a "Japlet," which is far above the proportion of the Japanese population. It seems, too, that while less than ten per cent of California's white women bore children, more than twenty-eight per cent of the Japanese women bore children. "How in the world are Japanese men to blame for this? Is it not a relic of the savage that causes us to curse in another race the qualities which we would praise in our own? It reminds me that in South Carolina for generations the Negro has been "accused" of wanting to wear good clothes, to live in fine houses, to eat the best food, to vote to hold office, to go to college, to enter the professions, to get more pay for his work (of course they put it the other way about; to do less work for his pay) and in general "to be like white folks." "May Allah and Qin and the God of the Christians save all the colored races from the 'irrucus' which the medieval atavists of the white race would like to see other races endowed with." Mr. Fickens will be in California for several weeks and will make a number of addresses in many of the large cities in the central section of the state. rows Rush oes To- s the North the Negro population of cities were announced today by the Census Bureau as follows: Dayton, Ohio, 9,029, an increase of 4,187, or 86.5 per cent; white population, 143,492, an increase of 31,785, or 2815 per cent; Chinese, Indians and all others, 38.

One of Their Race to Command. New York City, N. Y., Dec. 3.—A petition signed by 10,000 Negro ex-service men and business men was sent to Governor Smith yesterday asking that a Negro veteran who has seen service with the A. E. F., be appointed colonel of the Fifteenth infantry, N. Y. N. G., the New York regiment. The regiment has been without a commander since the resignation of Col. Willia, J. Schiefflin a year ago. During the war the regiment served in France as the 369th infantry, under Col. William B. Hayward, who was mustered out of service on his return to this country. Sergeant K. D. Cook, who has been active in securing signatures to the petition, said last night that the 600 members of the regiment were firm in their determination to have a Negro commander and that there would be great dissatisfaction if Governor Smith should refuse their request. Sergeant Cook said the majority were in favor of the selection of Captain Napoleon E. Marshall, who served in France and returned with more decorations than other member of the regiment.

"Well," said Mr. Wind, "do you want to come along and join my party? "Do we?" asked the Breeze Brothers. "Well, we should just say, yes." A And they whistled through their teeth and sounded very happy and cheerful. "I'll tell you," said the Wind. "I'm going to have a ball game, and we'll go to the city to play. Are you all ready?" "Are You All play. Are you all ready?" Ready?" "Indeed we are," said the Breeze Brothers. "Everyone come along," said Mr. Wind, "who belongs to my family. Come, little winds and big winds, come, everything that is a relation of the wind." So everything that was a relation of the wind came along and as they were going towards the city Mr. Wind said: "We're going to the city because we can have more fun there and as I go along I will explain to you the rules of the game of ball we will play today." "We felt just like a party today," said the Breeze Brothers. "Good," said Mr. Wind. "That's the way I like to hear folks and creatures and things talk when they're going off to a party. "Now I will tell you. I'm not bothering to bring any balls along with me. I don't know how to carry them very well and they would be a nulgence. "I don't believe in going off on parties all laden down with things you have to carry. "For those who like carrying baskets of food and games and all of that, well and good, but not for Mr. Wind. "He isn't patient enough for that. He either wants to be sound asleep, or lazily blowing or having a real time. "But, of course, it is mostly because I don't care for such things that I don't do them. I wouldn't like to carry baskets of food because they would be a nulgence and because I wouldn't even care about having the food. "What would Mr. Wind do, for example, with a tomato sandwich? He might blow it about, but he wouldn't eat it. And what would he do with ginger ale? Blow over the bottle, but never drink it. "So when he goes off on parties he doesn't bother about the food." "That's sensible," said the Breeze Brothers. "We feel just the same way about it as you do. We, too, feel that it would be useless to tire ourselves all out carrying heavy baskets of food when we haven't real arms and hands to carry them and when we got them anywhere we wouldn't want to eat anything that was inside." "And so," continued Mr. Wind, "instead of taking along balls to play with the balls will be all there." "We will find in the city that the men wear hats, nice straw hats which we'll blow this way and that, back and forth we'll blow a hat and throw it and catch it and have the most glorious of games. The hats will be our balls. "And there will be enough hats for all of us. Of course, we won't take off everyone's hats, but we will take off a good many. Sometimes, too, we'll take off a lady's hat who hasn't bothered to put a hat pin in. "And maybe we'll take a hat off of a little girl who hasn't her elastic band to keep it on. "We'll see great omnibuses in this city with folks riding on the top and we'll take on some of their hats and blow them about and they'll have to get off, or someone from a bus following will pick up the hat and everyone will laugh and it will be great fun. A "Gracious," said Mr. Wind. "I can scarcely stop for breath now. Everyone will chase each other's hats and try to get their other's hats and A Hat Off. try to get their own and also try to keep them from blowing too far. But sometimes when they're going to pick up their hats one of us will be there at the bat and will send it flying off again." "Oh, we'll have a fine time," said the Breeze Brothers, "and how sensible of you, dear Mr. Wind, to use the hats of people for balls to save us the trouble of taking our own games along. You're a good, thoughtful Mr. Wind." "Perhaps the people won't say so to today," said Mr. Wind with a wink. Oh, what a party they had, but Mr. Wind and the Breeze Brothers enjoyed it far, far more than the people who said they had hardly ever known such a windy spring day!

NEGRO ADVANCEMENT. The United States Department of the Interior in its 1917 report has the following to say on the subject: "No other racial group in the country shows a better adjustment in relations with the white natives than the more than ten million Negroes. In fifty years of freedom illiteracy has decreased from 90 to 30 per cent. One million Negroes are now farmers either as renters or owners, and a fourth of them own more than 20,000,000 acres. There are 50,000 Negroes in the south in business or professional pursuits as bankers, lawyers, physicians and other lines than farming. They own more than a hundred banks." Today throughout the nation Negroes own 700,000 homes. There are five hundred colleges and higher institutions of learning worth in equipment and endowment $22,000,000. There are 1,800,000 Negroes in public schools. There are 45,000 churches with a value of $90,000,000 and a total membership of 4,500,000. In one Georgia county there are three times as many Negroes owning farms as whites, and this is not exceptional. In North Carolina alone the 1919 tax lists show Negro property worth $51,000,000. Throughout the war Negroes bought $225,000,000 worth of Liberty bonds. The race in its half century of freedom has produced orators, writers, painters, sculptors, poets, lawyers, physicians, scientists, bankers and all manner of professional and occupational geniuses in a country where the highest remuneration return is available. SALE OF CAMP DODGE Nobody can suggest in an emergency just what could be done with Camp Dodge. And yet everybody feels that some use ought to be made of a city built with all the modern conveniences to harbor 40,000 people. There are paved streets, model sewers, a water plant for a big city, a theater, community center, everything that goes to make ideal community life. The only well-paved road in the state leads to it, and it occupies one of the most beautiful locations. To tear this all down and try to put the land back into farm cultivation will be an enormous expense, and the camp will be a total loss. Just what to do wit it in a community way nobody seems quite to know. It would seem that the state or the city ought to be able to do something with a city made to hand, rather than let it be torn down. Some wonderful New Center Cafe 1114 Center St., Res Moines, Iowa.

THE ART OF READING How perfectly balanced people there are in the world. Take the matter of reading for instance. There are many who swallow without question whatever they see in print; many others are scornful of everything which does not coincide with their own preconceived opinions. As with all things wisdom takes the safe and sane middle ground. At a recent convention where things agricultural were discussed a speaker declared that few farmers know how to read intelligently. This is a serious indictment if true, but still more important is for each individual to ask himself if he happens to belong to this class. To read without prejudice or whim; to spot the true and false when you see it; to get at the true inwardness of a proposition in spite of the motive behind it; to glean from your reading the kernels of thought which will inform and inspire—all this is akin to genius, yet a genius all may possess by clear thinking and moral courage. When we remember that according to Emerson "a man can gain a liberal education by reading fifteen minutes every day," we see how big an opportunity we have for self-culture without going to a university. But we must first learn to read without being gullible or skeptical, and the main lesson is "Discrimination"—to select the genuine and to reject the counterfeit. HOW TO KEEP WELL J. Alvin Jefferson The food after having been thoroughly mixed with the juices of the stomach is ready to pass the gate-keeper or pyloric opening. It consists of a soft mass called chyme. From the stomach it passes into the small intestines. This portion of the food tube is twenty feet long, one and one-half inches wide and is said to be the most delicately constructed portion of the tract. In the small intestines the food is thoroughly incorporated by the pancreatic, bile and intestinal juices. The churning motion that we met with in the stomach is continued in the small intestines but to a less vigorous degree. Here the food is changed from chyme to a milk like substance called chyle. In the mucous membrane of the intestines there are thousands of little vessels to the square inch known as lacteals and villi. These are the intestinal absorptive agents whose duty it is to select much material as can be used by the blood. In the normal tract this whole process goes on without disturbing the individual in the least; but it may be a painful process to those who have constantly sinned against their stomach. The old saying, "Eat now and chew later" is practiced by those who eat rapidly. Rapid eaters usually drink much water during meal hours causing their food to be washed down too quickly. Ice cold drinks reduce the temperature of the stomach and thereby delay digestion. THE BYSTANDER Food that enters the stomach unprepared must leave it in a like manner. From what we know of the intestines, we may judge of the havewrought in that portion of the tube by unprepared and poisonous foods. Intestinal colic, diarrhea, dysentery and cholera morbus are caused by errors in diet. Even acute appendicitis and peritonitis may get their origin from an inflammatory condition of the intestines. It usually pays to take pains in the selection, preparation and mastication of foods. If grazing animals find it necessary to select a proper diet and masticate it thoroughly surely human animals ought to find it more profitable. To Who You a the Coupon on the at 10 bate of the last Nesbitt, Iowa, at appear said will bate. In Wset my The sluggard was advised at one time to consult the ant for wisdom.

Get the iron axles, rods, and nuts and washers that belong to the wheels, if possible. In case an axle is missing, or is too short, go to a blacksmith or machinist and get him to thread a piece of rod of the right length. Figure 5 shows the completed chassis, and Figs. 2, 3 and 4 show details of its construction. Rails A and connecting cross-pieces B and C (Fig. 2) are pieces of 2-by-4. The length of rails A will be determined by whatever length you wish to have the car, while that of the cross-pieces will be fixed by the length of the wheel axles. Boards D, nailed to the side of rails A, support the hood framework, and cross-piece E is a footrest. If the front and rear wheels are of equal diameter, wooden axes F and G (Figs. 3 and 4) can be of equal thickness; use pieces of 2-by-4. Fasten the iron axes to the wooden axes either with staples or bent-over nails. Buy a carriage-bolt long enough to extend through wooden axe G and through cross-piece C (Figs. 2 and 4), for a king-bolt, and with this pivot the front wheels to the front of the chassis. The hood framework is made of barrel-hoops (Fig. 5); nail the ends of the hoops to side boards D, as shown. A sewing-machine wheel or wagon wheel may be used for the steering wheel, and a piece of a bromm-handle or curtain-pole may be used for the shaft (Figs. 5 and 6). Bore a hole in the inner edge of cross-piece C (Fig. 6) for a pocket for the end of the shaft to fit in; fasten a board in the inner end of the hood framework (H, Fig. 5), and notch its upper edge to support the upper end of the shaft. Figure 6 shows the method for connecting the steering wheel shaft with the wheels. Cut cross-piece I a trifle shorter than the distance between rails A, and bore a hole through its center for the end of the shaft to fit in; then bore a hole of equal size through a block (J), and nail this block to strip I so the two holes are over one another (Fig. 6). By driving a screw through an edge of strip I, and another through an edge of block $\textcircled{8}$ $\textcircled{6}$ $\textcircled{7}$ $\textcircled{5}$ 4. Strip I will be fastened securely to the shank. Screw a screweye into one end and strip I, and another into the under side of each of the two rolls A (Fig. 4); then attach a rope or chain at the center of its length, to the screweye in I, pass the ends through the screweye in rolls A, and, tie to screweye screwed into axle G near the ends (Fig. 4). The lengths of the rope or chain ends must be such that when crossplane I is turned to the position shown in Fig. 6, the left fore wheel will turn in, and when turned halfway around the other way, the right fore wheel will turn in. The hood may be covered with tin, stovepipe, canvas or cardboard. Cover the radiator front with screen wire, and tack narrow strips of tin around the edge of the wire for a binding (Fig. 7). Good headlights are made from lard palls (Fiz. 6). Nail a pair of brackets like K, to the hood, and nail the palls to them. When you have completed your pashmobile give it a couple of coats of paint; putty nail holes, cracks, and joints before you apply the second coat of paint. (Copyright by A. Nerdy Hall) HANDY TRINGS FOR SCHOOL The strap and handle in Fig. 1 requires a strip of canvas 2 inches wide and 24 inches long, folded in half lengthwise, and sewed along the side edges. Get a belt-buckle and sew one end of the strap to it. Finish off the other end of the strap, and punch holes one-half inch apart for a distance of 8 or 10 inches to stick the buckle pin through. The handle is a parcel handle (Fig. 2), one of which you will probably find about the house. Fasten it to the strap with pieces of tape passed around the hooks and the strap, and sewed. Denim, burlap, cretonne and canvas are good materials to use for book bags. You can make your bag of whatever proportions you want. However, the bag illustrated in Fig. 4 is of standard proportions—14 inches wide and 11 inches deep, and you will want yours of this size, I believe. Fig. 5 is a pattern for cutting, with every necessary measurement marked upon it. After marking out the piece, cutting it out, and folding where indicated by dotted lines, sew the edges with strong linen thread. Then turn the bag inside out to bring the seams inside. Bind the edges of the flap with braid, and make a shoulder strap of two thicknesses of the same material, sewing together strap along edges. Fig. 6 shows a unique pencil case made in the form of a pennant. Pre- $\textcircled{1}$ $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{3}$ $\textcircled{4}$ pare two pennants 8 inches long and 5 inches wide, using flannel of your school colors, with the initials of your school cut out of flannel and sewed to one face of one pennant. Place the pair of pennants together, and sew along the two long edges. Then with chalk mark off six parallel lines ½ inch apart, along the center of each face of the sewed together pennants, to locate pencil and penholder pockets, and stitch along these lines. The triangular pocket that is left at each side of the pen and penell pockets form holder for eraser. A good pencil box can be made out of a candy box covered with cretonne $\textcircled{4}$ $\textcircled{5}$ or other material (Fig. 7). Punch a hole through both the cover and box at one end (Fig. 8), before putting on the cretonne covering. This opening provides a handy means for slipping pencils and penholders into the box without removing the cover. A sandpaper block like that in Fig. 9 is handy for quickly rubbing down a pencil point to the desired degree of sharpness. You can cut the holder out of cardboard. If the cardboard that you have is not heavy enough, cut two pieces of the shape shown, and glue them together. Punch a hole near the end of the handle, to provide for hanging up the sandpaper block. Mock Crab Toast—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a double boiler; add half a pound of cheese and a tablespoonful of anchovy paste, half a teaspoonful of mustard, the same of salt; stir constantly until the cheese is melted, then add the beaten yolks of two eggs diluted with half a cupful of cream; continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. Serve on toast or toasted crackers. Nellie Maxwell THE THE BYSTANDER er's Women Modes for Formal Ev THERE is no getting away from the fact that there is an all-pervading glitter in the displays of dresses for formal evening wear. It is a much spasped mode and the only thing that saves it from being tawdry is the discrimination that designers use in choosing color according to the amount of spangled surface in the dress, and in toning down colors with black. Only in all white, all black or combinations of the two, they allow themselves dresses entirely covered with sequins. But when colored sequins are used they appear in panels or irregular borders with black, as sapphire blue sequins with black satin and lace, or penna sequins with dark brown net or satin. Beads also help out in this frosty sparkle that has settled on winter apparel—and they have made their appearance even on street clothes. In the midst of so many dazzling gels an evening gown that is quite without sparkle is likely to achieve much distinction. There are to be found among the displays, beautiful silks or metal tissue dresses, veiled with black or brown or grey net. The pets are embroidered with narrow $\textcircled{6}$ $\textcircled{9}$ $\textcircled{8}$ $\textcircled{7}$ Either glue the piece of sandpaper to the cardboard, or hold it in puce by means of rubber bands. The use of rubber bands makes it an easy matter to slip out the piece of sandpaper when you want to replace it with another piece. The KITCHEN CABINET (6) 1920, Western Newspaper Union.

We have known them for several years, and under almost as many names as there are varieties in the fabrics, but they have arrived at a new point in their development. Their manufacturers, having made a place for them by wonderful imitations of natural furs, are beginning to work independently of these and are getting into new paths. Besides their eye-baffling imitations of skins they are making exquisite furry cloths that are unlike the furs we know or the fur fabrics we have seen, or else they appear to be an improvement on the natural fur that inspired them. In these new materials and in those made in close imitation of pelts there are very handsome coats this season. Often they are trimmed with rich natural furs and displayed along with In the fall, when the nuts are fresh and the thought turns toward the cool weather to come, when rich cakes are enjoyed, is the time when we look over our stores to see, if all the ingredients are present; for a fruit cake well made and baked is a treasure like a bank account, always ready to be called upon in an emergency. In the following group, if you can not find one which you will be urged to try, you will be hard to suit: Wedding Cake.—Take one pound of butter, one pound of sugar, twelve eggs, one pound of flour, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, three-quarters of a teaspoonful each of nutmeg, allspice and mace, one-half teaspoonful of clove, three pounds of raisins, seeded and cut in pieces, one pound of currants, one pound of citron, thinly sliced and cut in*strips, one pound of figs, finely chopped, three tablespoonfuls of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually and beat thoroughly. Separate the yolks from the whites of eggs, beat the yolks until thick and lemon colored, the whites until stiff and dry and add to the first mixture. Add flour (excepting one-third of a cupful, which is reserved to dredge the fruit), mixed and sift with the spices, vanilla and lemon juice. Less vanilla may be used and any rich fruit substituted. Then add the fruit, except the citron, dredged with the reserved flour. Dredge the citron with flour and put it in layers between the cake mixture when putting in the pan. Steam three hours in deep buttered pans, well covered with greased paper, then bake one and one-half hours in a slow oven. Cake cooked this way is moist and keeps well without becoming dry or soggy. Cakes, if to be frosted, should never have the frosting put on until the day before using. Fruit cake of this kind is much better six weeks or even months after baking, as the spices and flavors have then had time to flavor the whole mixture. Nellie Maxwell A Questions Said the near cynic: "Judging from the time some of the young blood of this town arrive home in the morning, it's hard to tell whether to call them night owls or larks." ribbon flowers or little festoons of silk floss. Then there are beautiful black chantilly dresses unadorned except for girdles of artificial flowers or a corsage of them. Keeping them company, there are handsome velvet gowns mostly in black, dark brown or dark blue. A magnificent example of the velvet gown appears in the picture at the left. A few beads pick out the lines of the embroidery on the bodice, but silk floss gives sufficient brightness to the embroidery that covers the back and reappears on the front of the skirt. Ribbon and velvet in a contrasting color make the odd decoration on the velvet frock at the right. This is a simple but very original design, in which narrow ribbon fringe and narrow ribbon, outlining and joining the curious leaf motifs present something entirely new. It has a low-neck bodice with a pretty chemisette of georgette and is made in bright blue velvet. Julia Bottomley COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION and the slices into ham-unch cubes. Sprinkle a layer of these cubes in a salad bowl and cover with French dressing, using three tablespoonfuls of oil to one of vinegar; add very thin slices of Spanish onion, ripe tomatoes, and cucumbers; pour on more dressing, add some shredded red peppers and another layer of bread cubes and vegetables. Finish with cubes of bread over the top. Molded Custard.-Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatine in one-fourth of a cupful of cold milk. Make a soft custard with three egg yolks, one-third of a cupful of sugar and half a teapoonful of salt. Add the softened gelatine, stir until dissolved and let cool; add half a teapoonful of vanilla extract and strain into a mold. Caramel Marshmallow Parfait—Cut twenty marshmallows into four pieces each; add one-third of a cupful of maraschino cherries cut into thin slices; pour over them four tablespoonfuls of maraschino sirup and let stand an hour or longer. Cook two-thirds of a cupful of sugar to a caramel. Add two-thirds of a cupful of water, cover and cook until the sirup is formed; uncover and cook until reduced to one cupful; add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and when dissolved pour the whole in a fine stream, beating constantly meanwhile, on the white of a stiffly beaten egg; beat occasionally until cold; fold in the marshmallows and cherries and one and one-half cupfuls of cream beaten stiff. Turn into a three-pint melon mold; cover with paper and press the cover in place over the paper, which should extend on all sides. Pack in ice and salt, equal measures, and let stand three hours.

For warmth and durability the odds often lie in the direction of the woven furs and there is nothing handsome in coats, as may be gathered from the two examples pictured. One of these, at the left, is an imitation of moleskin trimmed with actual Australian opossum, and the other is the familiar seal in woven fur with high collar and deep cuffs of chinchilla. They are high-priced, but not expensive garments, since they wear for years. It is not unlikely that the day will come when women will prefer these fabrics to pelts, as a sentiment in the direction of sparing wild animals is growing among them.
