Mr. Murphy had been a good soldier, and several medals, which, by the way, he wasn't wearing. testified to the prowess of his fists and gat. Murphy had scarcely joined the group when a flaming-haired young chap ambled up. “Where you from buddy?” inquired Mr. Flanagan, genially. “Toway,” Teplied the new arrival “Ioway, Where in New York State I that piace?” asked Mr. O'Rourke. “It ain't @ city. It's & State,” sald Mr. Casey of Towa. “Where were you guys in the big push?” inquired Mr. Murphy. “We was in_the Rol-de-rar sector,” replied Mr. Casey. “You guys was “featherbed babies compared to our out- | e “Oh, yeah,” said Mr. Flanagan re- sentfully. “Oh, yeah?” echoed Mr. O'Rourke and the ex-sergeant, Murphy. “Ever been to Ioway?” asked Mr. Casey. “No,” said Mike O'Rourke, “we never | been in the Indian country.” Mr. Casey’'s flaming hair blazed at the implication. “Lissen, did you guyA' ever hear of a town named Dee-moine?” “Yeah,” said Mr. O'Rourke. “It's down in New Jersey.” Mr. Casey invited former Pvt. O'Rourke out in the alley, but Michael suggested that they sing, “What became of Hinky-Dinkey Parlee-voo,” instead. ‘There are only 148 verses of this ‘wartime song, and the group sang at Jeast 147 of them.

If he doesn't, he ought to. Barkers are no respectors of per- - sons. This is espe- clally true if a man is accompan- led by an attrac- tive girl. “Come in, buddy. Only a dime., Blow your girl to a treat. It would be worth it if it cost a half dollar, but it's only a dime.” The man usually smiles a patronizing smile at the barker and passes on. Some- how, we have al- ways envied those who are eager to #hoot - the - chutes and the house-of-a-thousand-mirrors and the roller-coaster. To be able to feel that we were inconspicuous when ‘socking & machine with a mallet to see how much strength we possess would gratify us beyond words. To be able to pltch darts at the black numbérs with the chance of winning a French doll or & nifty set of dishes without em- barrassment is our idea of inde: pendence. ‘The nearest we have ever come to making a sign of ourselves in a public amusement park was to buy a couple of orangeades and two es of pop- corn. It seems so foolish to go into a “House of Fun” and slide down floors uppedh?t an angle and walk over shak- ing little bridges when one can ige automobiles in the city for nothing. * * kK K ‘There was & shooting gallery in the park.

A smart dress may be made to look common- place by the wrong sort of scarf, and & very usual sort of dress may be given distinction by the right sort of scarf interestingly arranged. It is not too early to predict an even greater importance of scarfs for Au- tumn than ever. Americans who have been abroad this Summer will bring back scarfs with them which, of course, might just as cheaply and much more conveniently have been bought in this cothtry. But, besides, they will come home ready to tell us that here are possibilities in the wearing of scarfs of which they had never dreamed. Tri-color scarfs—made from silk crepe in three different colors—will be espe- clally smart for wear with late Summer and early Autumn dresses and suits.

BY THE COUNSELOR. Fearing to leave valuable jewelry in |her hotel room overnight, Mrs. Cox |placed the valuables with the hotel Iclerk for safekeeping, obtaining a re- ceipt. She failed, however, to tell the clerk the value of the jewelry. they were found to be missing. She | thereupon presented & bill showing that | the jewelry had cost over $1,000 and asked to be compensated for her loss. Instead of giving her the full amount, | the hotel officials tendered Mrs. Cox | the sum of $500, informing her that | |a statute in that State restricted the | innkeeper's lability to $500, in the | absence of a special agreement in writ- | |ing, showing the value of the deposit | to_be more. Mrs. Cox brought suit for the full amount of her loss, contending that the | hotel clerk should have informed her | |of the limitation of liability. | Mrs. Cox lost her case, the court ex- | plaining: “In the absence of statute. an inn- { keeper may be held liable for the guest's full loss even without notification unless | the valué of the goods is extraordinary. Under_statutes, however, prevailing in most States, the liability of hotel own- |ers has been limited, and the patrons | must comply with the terms of these | | statutes, which are generally printed on | a card to be found in the hotel room, |in order to recover their losses.” MENU FOR A DAY.

But our friends in the Arctic circle do not have much of a picnic on cracked ice. They live on & small scale in the region of short lines of latitude. Latitude is something which we need since we are inclined to lead narrow lives.

It you discover that you are living in the Arctic reglons, why not plan a little vacation if not a change of mental resi- dence? You can do this by taking an interest in the people and affairs of the world generally. T used to know an old lady who lived on the rocky coast of an obscure part of New England and in & town which couldn’t muster more than two hun- dred people by way of population. Yet she refused to be fozen out of life and spent her time reading about the crowned heads of Europe before they lost_their 18-carat millinery. She knew the royal houses as well as another old lady on the adjoining farm knew the houses n the com- munity. One specialized in the crowned heads, the other in soreheads. But the old lady who had the numbers of all the kings was no Eskimo. The whole thing, folks, is a matter of interest. The whole world lies before you, talks to you and sings to you over the radio. ~Take the air and tune in on the grand ensemble and you'll for- get that you were ever a frost-bitten Eskimo. If one of these fur-bearing citizens of the frozen zone were to move down to the Equator, there's be a hot time in the town that night. It would be hard for him to get used to broad latitudes and warm airs. Maybe you are like these fisheaters to the North. If you are, you must ex- pand and try to measure up to the | demands of modern life which has no place for cold-blooded, narrow-minded | tolks. (Copyright, 1929 MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

Tced drinks and chilled foods are guleulnt and welcome in hot weather, t they contribute practically little or nothing toward keeping the body cool and comfortable. The more water one drinks in hot weather the more comfortable one will be, irrespective of perspiration. It is noticeable that people who strive to avold perspiring as a social offense suf- fer most from hot weather. Fat folks feel the heat more than thin ones, in moderately warm and moder- ately humid weather. But when the temperature and the humidity are hoth extremely high, then the fat folks have an advantage over ordinary persons, for their greater mass of flesh does not overheat so soon and they can keep a great storage of water in their tissues. It is the dehydration of the tissues of the skinny person that explains his ex- treme discomfort in very hot and humid weather. Thin folks should not only drink more water, but they should try to con- sume more salt in very hot weather. Everybody should ease down on the consumption of protein food, no matter whether of animal or vegetable origin, and no matter whether the food taken cold or hot, in extremely hot weather. At the same time everybody should make adventures in the fruit and vegetable menus when the weather is oppressively warm. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, greens, relishes, cooked or raw, should be an important if not ;t.n chief part of most meals in the dog ys. As a rule the total quantity of food taken in the day should be decreased in hot weather, mainly in the protei items—such as lean meat, egg, cheese. At this season of year it is & good plan to revise the old way, if you still adhere to it, and make the main meal the evening meal instead of the mid- day meal, Breakfast, lunch and dinner, instead of breakfast, dinner and supper. ‘This not only allows one to enjoy and digest a good dinner in the cool of the evening, after the day's work is done, but it saves mother the hot job of get- ting dinner in the noonday heat, yea, and gives the rest of the family a good chance to help mother prepare the big feed and clear up the wreckage and debris afterward. A fellow may not make a terribly good pie, but at least he ought to wield a handy dishrag around home, just to show his appreci- ation. Candy and sweets in general, I re- gret to announce, are hot nutriment and the candy fiend will do well to sat- isty his sweet tooth with fresh fruits, if he minds the heat at all. 1f we get a real sample of hot weather some day soon I shall tell what ihe comfortably dressed man, woman or child should wear in the dog days.

July 16, 1861.—The Union Army, under Gen. McDowell, approximately 50,000 strong, began its g-e3 forward movement from Was and vicinity southward into Virginia this afterncon. The numerous com- panies of Regulars near Arlington House, wmprhmg Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery, struck their tents and formed into column soon after 12 o'clock. They did not surpass in promptness of movement and military enthusiasm the New York 8th, wiich also rapidly formed and marched, leaving its tents on the ground in the charge of a ard. The 14th New York (Brooklyn) giment was also part of the column which formed on the road at the foot of Arlington Heights, with the Regulars in front. ‘The scene from the Virginia hills in the neighborhood of the Toll Gate was very inspiring. Looking toward Wash- ington, one could see regiment after regiment coming across the Long Bridge, their arms gleaming in the sun. On the left the column from Arlington was approaching with its rear lost in the distance. The two columns, coming from both directions, joined at the Toll Gate and each took its place in the line and con- tinued marching southward. Cheer after cheer was heard as the regiments greeted one another. This, with the martial music and the sharp commands of the officers, made a combination of sound that was very gratifying to all loyal Union men and women. It was about 5 o'clock this afternoon from the Washington side of the Potomac River, crossed the Long Bridge and was greeted with loud cheers by the men of the 21st New York Regi- ment, stationed at Fort Runyon. The De Kalb Regiment, with the company of Turcos in front, presented a splendid appearance, every man looking as if he had been made to be a soldier. The regiment was accompanied by vivan- dleres, and was followed by a long wagon train, with camp equipment, baggage, etc. The whole Army was in high spirits. The men showed théir enthusiasm by the elasticity of their step, their jokes and their boyish abandon. Only one class of men was low-spirited. These were the troops left behind to guard the fortifications close to Washington. ‘They were loud in their murmurs be- cause they were not permitted to join in the advance movement. There were rumors here tonight that the Confederate general, Beauregard, has abandoned Fairfax Court House. Home in Good Taste * BY SARA HILAND.

There were large cracks in the floor. Jimmy dug his fingers into each one as he passed, tearing off splinters in & vain effort to avoid leaving the old | homestead. | At first he had wanted to move to| America. “We're going to the State of Penn- sylvania,” he told his chums in day| school. “You'll fight Indians,” they said, awe- stricken. | He hadn’t thought of that. Fighting Indians would be wonderful! But his mother exploded his dream. “There are no Indians at Sharon, Pa.” she said, “but there is plenty of work there in the rolling mills. That's | why we are going. That's why your father has sent for us.” Jimmy Davis thought it foolish to travel so far away from home if there were to be no Indians. He decided that his mother and brothers could leave him behind in Tredegar. But he was mistaken. It turned out that there wasn't al- | ways “plenty of work” in the Sharon | rolling mills.
