— [ Styles on Styles Just prior to the style show at the fair Thursday evening, the announcer stated that the costumes worn by the models were valued at $30,000. This announcement was at first met with discredit by many in the audience, but before the show was ffinished it was the common opinion in the grand- stand that there was $30,000 worth of garments shown even if they were worth only about §$2 each. If the show had not been any longer than some of the dresses shown, it would have lasted quick. —Presto Chango!— Need Mur’e Contestants Although the style driving auto contest at the fair appeared to the on-lookers to be very simple, since the tests were not severe, it is a thing that should be encouraged. Ev-" ery lady driver and a good many of || the male drivers should practice sim- ilar tests. Then they might all be able to leave their cars at the curb before going shopping. —Not Over the Curb— If You Don’t Weaken “It's a-great game if you know what they're trying to do,’ remark- - ed a young lady fair visitor at, the close of the football game at*the fair grounds Friday afternoon. The same also applies to a lot of other things in life. —That'’s the Biggest Game— Nothing to It Had the style driving auto contest at the fair'been staged some time this| summer when the Lavinia summer residents were here, it's a safe bet that Bemidji ladies would have had much keener competition. E. E. Mec- Donald, who lives at Lavinia, says the figure eight driving is easy after) having traveled over the Lavinia road a few times. * —Second the Motion— Enough’s A-Plenty " A reader of the column, who is al- 20 a golf enthusiast, wants to know if it is right to play 18 holes of golf on the Sabbath day. We don’t know anything about the game, but, still we think tnat nine holes would be a- plenty. —TFor Some Players— No Chance at All When it comes to a chdice between a new set of tires for the car and a new rug for the living room, the rug has about as much chance as the proverbial snowball in the well known super-heated region. —You Know What We Mean— " No Doubt About It “We nre a very resourceful peo- ple,” satd the man as he attached a couple of revolving brushes to his Ford and used it for a carpet sweep- er. And still we have seen some very poor carpet sweepers. —Without Seeing That— SMITH'S ACCOMPLICE MAKES HER GET-AWAY (By_United Press) St. Paul Sept. 24.—Mrs, Grace McDonald, convicted last July for re- ceiving and concealing $1,000 stolen from a Northern Pacific train near St. Cloud last February, has escaped from the house of correction at Rock- well City, Iowa.

My father came shortly after me and we took the aviator out of the entangled wire in the front seat and laid him on the grass. We then pulled young Harris out, swho showed no cuts or bruiges, but was unconscious. He was not strapped in the seat, nor was he entangled. “Within a few minutes the aviator came To &n inquired about Harris. He got on his fect-and limped around, an- parently not being seriously injured, but he was 'covered with blood. It looked as if his nose was broken and some of his teeth knocked out, with other cuts about the face and head.” Roy Jackson stated that the doc- tors were sent for immediately and everything possible for the comfort of the injured was done by those there until the doctors arrived. The scene of the accident was a busy place within an hour after the plane hit the bank, hundreds driving out there from Bemidji. Speed laws were discarded and autos raced out L;{wux'd the Ritchie farm at a rapid clip., Licutenant Bohn was much con- cerned about the injured and regret- ted jexceedingly that the accident oc- cured with a local boy as passenger.

She was shot on 'a. Brooklyn street yesterday by Mrs. Gra¢e Law, who then killed herself. The heiress of the million- aire shoe manufacturer is in a grave condition, it is said, Whether jealously was aroused by Mrs. Law’s secret infatuation for John F.

His wealth pours in from the four corners of the globe, and he is rec- koned as many tifite a billionaire, ad- mitting in his tax returns that he is at least a billionaire. He was a rich man before the war. But his hold- ings today are like the proverbial tan- nery in comparison with an earlier shoestring. “He is known as. ‘“rue- ckisichtlos”—ruthless—in his gold- grabbing. s The Stinnes concern has become all-inclusive. At least 1500 under- takings and “daughter companies” be- long thereto. These concerns engage in coal mining and shipping; he con- trols business that make everything from high currentmachines to .in- candescent lamps; from a screw to an ocean steamer; from a modest worker’s home to hotels like the At- lantie of Hamburg and the Esplanade of Berlin; from big forest to news- print and newspapers. S Stinnes’ steamers travel not alone upon the Rhine and in the Ostsee, but also on the Atlantic and Pacific. And, since his ejection from the qubur'&Amcricaq line directorate, Sfmnes is doing his utmost to extend h1§ iqrcign holdings, especially in shipping. His boldest stroke recently was the purchase of the Alpinen Mon- tangesellschaft, holding the largest closed ore suppljes in Europe, but un- akei. With his coké and coalholdings it was easy to rejuvenate the Austr- iao iron industry, and to absorb many men otherwise workless. But Stinnes is feeling the heavy hand of com- petion. The Hamburg-American line dropped him from its board of direc- South American shippiqg business in- dependently. He is going to fight the “Hapag;” but he has still an- othey dangerous competitor, Herr Haniel, owner of the great “Good Hope” concern, which is seeking, with considerable success, to build up a concern to rival that of Stinnes and his 1500 holdings. Haniel, besides being a wondgerfully strong business man, is a racing oper- or, In three or four years, he has built up the most famous racing rtal{lc in Germany, has won the Der-/| by in Germany twice and a number' on his race horses, and works also with a free hand in his concern, so| that today he stands as Stinnes’ most \| —the Mediterranean—and the tors because he sought to enter the|’ of other big races.

Mapmakers are having a busy time in these days of everchanging bound- aries, Europe has regrouped itself, and the dld map of our schooldays is wrong from top to bottom. But what tremendous changes have taken place in the Christian era, a comparatively short time in the his- tory of the world, observes a writer In London Answers. The Roman's map of the world was the Middle sea lands washed by its waves. To sail out of the Straits of Gibraltar—the Pillars of Hercules—was as great an adven- ture as being shot in a rocket to Mars would be today! For another thousand years, after the decline of Rome, very little prog- ress was made. India was a sort of fairyland, China—or Cathay—might have been in the moon, Russia and Si- beria were wholly out of bounds. America was not dreamed of, Aus- tralia had never been heard of, no Eu- ropean ship had ever sailed on the Pacific ocean, + Then, quite suddenly, came the age of exploration. The Spanish and Port- uguese -navigators, followed by the great English adventurers, doubled the world’s tand ‘area for the map makers, But eve then the maps were fearful and -wonderful. America was a piece of all guesswork. The greater part of Africa the same. Even Ku- rope looked like nothing on earth, and where they were at a loss they drew ! fabulous beasts and birds to fill up the spaces. Belated Justice.
