WOMAN'S PAGE. The Sidewalks BY THORNTON FISHER. Here they are, Diogenes! “I've often wondered why you have never owned a car.” “Well, the fact is that I can't afford one. We need one as badly as any family, but if autos were selling for a dime a dozen, I couldn’t buy the echo of the horn.” * ok ok ok Gertrude, dear, are you going to con- tinue work after you are married?” “Yes, it won't be a matter of having nothing to do and not wanting to be idle. Goodness knows I would rather stay home and take care of the house, but the fact is we will need the extra money I can earn and I will have to keep on until Harry makes enough to support both of us.” i “Willie, you will have to ask_your papa about the tariff question. He is a very wise per- son.” “Dad, I've got to prepare a paper on the tariff que: tion. Will you ex- plain it to me?” “My boy, I donot know the slightest thing about _the tariff. A high tariff, a low tariff or no tariff at all will not affect my business and therefore I have never taken the question seriously. I must admit I know no more about it than the Benator and Representatives.” SR “Waiter, how is the steak today?” “Boss, 1 ain't tasted it. The chef says it's the way he cooks it ever’ day, but f'm pussenal taste I don’t know just how ‘tis.” * “Well, well, old man, how are you feeling tod: “To tell you the truth I never felt better.

He was making knots down one of our popular thoroughfares. Behind him came a_ police car, which drew alongside, with an order to halt. “You were doing 45 miles down this stretch. Do you know that?” said the cop. “Well, maybe I was,” said the motorist. “In fact, I wasn't thinking just how fast I was traveling. I've just returned from Baltimore, and, driving at a fast clip along the open road, I didn't realize I was keeping it up in the city. You're right; I certainly was going some, I guess. I'm sorry I violated the regula- tions, for I am usually very careful not to speed. I suppose I'll get a ticket for this.” “No,” said the cop. “I'm going to let you off this time. Just watch your step in the future.” The motorist drove off, gi rousing cheers for the Police part- ment. The first offender mentioned is still wondering why the policeman made him show up 1n court. * % % % Page Sherlock Holmes.

Judging from recent letters, Winter seems to be here in earnest, for readers are beginning to complain of cold feet. *“You may think I am queer,” writes one woman, “but I dread Winter for just one reason, and that is because of my cold feet. They are cold all the day and they keep me awake half the night unless I use an electwg pad. May- be this is not a beauty query, Miss Leeds, but unless you can help me I am sure that I shall lose every bit of beauty that I have, for who can smile and be happy when her feet are like two lumps of ice?” As this reader is not alone in her misery, we hasten to her aid. Only those who have suffered the same dis- comfort can realize how very true is her statement that beauiy will flee un- less one can have warm, comfortable feet.

A raglan sleeve coat that is easily slipped on over heavy tweed suits is favorite of boys of 6, 8, 10 and 12 years, sketched in style No. 747, because it is comfortable as well as smart. Active boys who spend most of their time in_ play out-of-doors, must be comfortably attired. The tailored neckline with notched collar is of especial interest worn open during the mild weather. In extreme cold weather, it can be buttoned snugly to neck. Sleeves are loose toward wrist and finished with applied band trim- ming. Because most boys dislike wear- ing gloves, the designer cleverly placed the inset pockets diagonally, so the little hands could easily be slipped into the pockets on cold days. The belt marks the normal waistline, It is equally smart worn without the belt and typically English.

(Covyright, 1929.) BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Using Small Loan. ‘The small loan is nothing new but it is something strange and even fear- some to many women. They have learned to associate small loans with loan sharks, and have therefore avoided the small loan as they would a serpent. Unfortunately there is no little ground for their fears. A good many families have fallen into the hands of unscru- pulous loan sharks and suffered heavily as_a result. Soms banks took recognition of the situation and instituted small loan de- partments. These have served thou- sands already. There are several things for any woman to consider with regard to the small loan. First of all, its possibilities, its purposes, its costs and its uses. A small loan will often rid one of pestersome dunners, satisty their claims, and give one peace of mind and relief #0 that she can reorganize her finances, and get back on her feet quickly and pleasantly. It not only permits her to preserve her local credit, but it preserves the respect of her neighbors, of her hus- band’s business associates or employers. It affords her a chance to liquidate or pay off debt in easy payments. Women in the past have been bolh_- ered by dunners, by judgments, sheriff’s notices, summonses, and the like. ‘The small loan often helps a woman who wishes to embark in business buy the necessary materials or supplies. It tides families over during periods of temporary unemployment. It is often the means of enambling a husband to get out of a rut, and not be worried about his family’s needs while he is securing a better position or one with a better outlook. Many women spend more on repairs than the repairs are or could be worth. They are paying indirectly more for credit than some loan sharks charge. Because their expenses come under the head of repairs, not “interest,” they think themselves better off. The small loan can relieve one from d-bts, satisfy immediate wants or needs, and it can hclf one to improve her n | stocks “sell off” or decline in price. morrow about the various kinds or types of small loans. Dividends. If you own a stock that pays a 6 per cent dividend, is it the same in amount regardless of the price of the stock? That’s the question a score of women have asked me after watching their ‘We have explained to some inquirers the facts, and we think they are worth every woman's while if she has stock that pays a percentage dividend. Let us assume that you buy a stock at $100 per share. Your stock, we will further assume, pays $2 in cash and 6 per cent in stock. Following a series of market breaks, your stock sells at $60 per share, Its cash dividend is declared regu- larly and remains constant. The stock dividend becomes 6 per cent of 60 rather than 6 per cent of 100. In other words, your stock dividend amounts in cash, were it sold, to $3.60 instead of $6. The dividend is paid on the price of the stock at the time the dividend is declared. If the regular meeting of the directors called to declare the dividend occurred at an unfavorable time mar- ketwise, one would then receive the smaller dividend, although the rate of the dividend would be the same. Conversely, of course, one is benefited by a rise in price of a stock that pays a percentage dividend. If the price rises on the stock, one receives 6 per cent of the higher amount, which, of course, represents more than 6 per cent of one’s original infestment. For example, if one buys a stock at 40 paying 6 per cent in stock, and it rises to 80, one’s 6 per cent return actu- ally amounts to 12 per cent on her orig- inal investment. 2 Cash dividends remain the same until changed by the directors of a company. Thus a stock paying $3 may pay that amount whether the stock sells for $50 or $100 a share. When buying a stock, consider its yleld based on the price it will cost you “I sure was scared for a minute. ‘That truck almost hit Skinn; ln‘:lel was lettin’ him carry my watch."

Indoor Uses for Clip Clothes Pins BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Clip clothes-pins can be put to many more uses than that of fastening laun- dry to clothes-lines. They can become little alds to the homemaker in keep- ing her house in order. Some of the ideas may prove useful to little folk who are wishing they could make Christmas gifts without taxing their budding abilities. The ideas given to- g’li are chosen to help out such little olk. Ciip clothes-pins make useful curtain fasteners. They should be painted or stained to make them appear decora- tive. A person who is gifted with paint and brush can put ornamental touches to the wooden parts afterwards. Or decalcomanfas can be employed by youngsters. After these have been ap- plied and are absolutely dry, the en- tire painted surface should be nished. How to Use. ‘Two clothes-pins are needed for one | window, and there should be at least three pairs for each set. These curtain clips are used to fasten curtains in folds so that they clear the window when open at night, when rain might come in, or at any time when it is desirable to have the curtains parted or held | more securely back. The clothes-pins can be separated | and each part be used as a window wedge. Paint and decorate them as de- scribed. A set of three or four wedges makes an acceptable little Christmas remembrance. Fasten two painted and decorated clips together with gay colored tape or fancy ribbon and they make fine rubber holders. Each rubber is held by one clip, 50 a pair is sure to be together. The tape connecting them is to put over a peg in some closet where rubbers are kept. Used as rubber clips, or for slippers, these pins are very handy.
