WOMAN’S PAGE. Stripes Must Run With Horizon . BY MARY MARSHALL. It you've a zebra complex with a fondness for stripes you'll be interested in the new way the dressmakers are making use of them. But if you fortunately she doss not seem to think | | that so frequently actions must be suit- Raven't seen the striped dresses you may be surprised to learn that the smart wav to wear them this season ix round and round a rather dar- ing procedure because roundabout BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. World Series Stuff. There was one play in the world se- ries that bids fair to be discussed for vears to come. It was in the nimth inning of the second game. The score, | 2 to 0, Carcinals. Two down, Moore batting for Earnshaw and Foxx racing to third, just as Moore fanned and ‘Wilson, the catcher, dropped the ball. Moore could and should have been thrown out at first easily, but the Car- dinal catcher elected to throw out Foxx at third. He failed. The official score: Strikeout for Moore, error for Wilson, Moore given first on the error. The important question is this: Did Wilson make an error? According to the rules of base ball. ves. According to _the mechanism of the mind. no. Psychologically, Catcher Wilson had his mind on the game at a critical time, at a critical point. His unconscious mind was in charge of the situation. Bencath the threshold of consciousness, he was determined to keep the Ath- letics from scoring. It was a capital example of involuntary attention. No less an authority than William James once wrote: “Involuntary atten- tion is an instinctive stimulus, a per- ception which by reason of its nature rather than its force, appeals to one of our congenital impulses and has a directly exciting quality.” (Copsright, 1931.)

So to begin with you'd better realize that only if you are as slender as a young Hollywood star can you take up with fthe new fashion. Chanel has a new one-picce dress made of striped knit material with a hip-length jacket of plain material to match the colored stripe. It's very smart if you can wear it. Next on the | program is the new mariner’s shirt, made with stripes going round about ! and this you will find the smartest | | thing to wear under your fur coat at! | en Autumn foot ball game—that fs, if | you are one of those who enjoy your foot ball best when dressed in’ the de- | cidedly sports type of clothes.

At first she might feel overdaring and possibly con- spicuous, but good taste would lead her to choose a middle course, If she finds that she is not particu- larly popular with either men or women she'should consciously cultivate a light- | ness of manner.

At last Billy led the way back over the top and Farmer Brown's Boy saw them no more. Late that afternoon when he got back to camp he told of what he Mad seen. There was a 2tranger in camp. a hunter who was particularly | anxious to shoot a Mountain Goat for no perticular resson save to be able to say that he had shot one, and to get the nead to have mounted for his col- ection of trophies. He listened atten- ively, asked a few questions as to just ere Farmer Brown's Boy had seen Le Surefoot family and presently hanged the subject. Farmer Brown's Boy thought no more about him until when he was ready to start out the next morning he found that the hunter had already left camp. Then a feeling of uneasiness came over him.

CXXXIV. BLUE BOTTLE FLY. Calliphoridae. HE members of this family have an unsavory reputation. They seck very objectionable matter in which to lay their eggs. Too, they are large, noisy and hard to swat. On a very warm, rainy day in the country they seem to appear in swarms. They hang about the stables and any place with decaying matter is exposed. Should they get into the kouse, they buzz and bump against the window pane and rush about search- ing for meat on which to place their CRRS. Meat that is egg-infested is called “blown.” These creatures have a blue metallic body, transparent wings, six very strong legs, outlined with stiff hairs, compound eyes and short antennae. After mating, the mother searches for a juicy piece of meat on which to place her large family. In a few hours after the eggs have been laid they hatch into legless and often headless creatures. ‘They get their food supply through their skin—white, soft-bodied maggots, moving about over the de- caying meat, and soon turning into{ shiny brown’ elliptical coats of mail. In a very short time the brown skin splits and the buzzing blue bottle fly is off, seeking a mate. There are many generations a year, and it has been said that a pair of blue bottle flies, with their descendants, can consume an ox much more rapidly than | a hungry lion can The family has a bad reputation and is thought of as a menace. This is not |quite fair to them, however. Many animals. large and small, die during | the Summer months. 1f they are no | buried the air would soon be unfit to | breathe. The blue bottle mother finds the carcass and establishes her large { family on it. In a surprisingly short | time the matter is reduced to & powder | and only the bones remain. Thus the | bluc bottle becomes a kindly sanitary | | officer who has cost us nothing for his | ! services 4" This family is a_very large one and | includes the bot fly, which torments | | i | i | | | parents back over the top of the cliff | he was still filled with scorn for that two-legged creature he had been watc! ing. Despite all his father had told him he couldn’t quite believe that such a clumsy creature was really to be feared. However he took care not to say s0. What he bad been told about the fire-stick that Man often carried he couldn't somehow quite believe. You know some folks have to see for them- y can belleve, and this true of children who are just big enough and old enough to think themselves very smart and that they know all there is to know. The | Kid was just that age “Il_have to see one of those fire- sticks before T can believe it can hur me from a long way off” said he himself. “Father and Mother are trying to scare me. As for those M creatures if the rest of them cant climb any better than that one I ha just seen I'm not going to worry about them. T guess I can look out for m self.” : Early the next morning Billy went off by himself, for there are times when | he likes to be alone. Nanny and Kid Surefoot wandered about getting a bite here and a bite there of scanty grasses and other plants growing among th rocks. It took a long time to get enough and it was the middle of the morning when Nanny decided that she had enough and picked out a com- fortable spot to lic down and rest. The Kid was tired, too, and quite willing to lie_down But children are naturally active and as scon as he felt rested Kid Surefoot was on his feet again and began to wander about. It was fun to go ex- ploring by Limself. It made him feel big and important “Be sure you don't go far. and watch your footing.” warned his mother. “Up on these Tocks you cannot afford to slip even once, so be careful” promised the Kid. and slip- ping behind a big rock kicked up his heels from pure joy and high spi Now he didn't intend to disobey and go far, but this was new country him and it was such fun to pe around big rocks to see what was on the other side that he kept going far- ther and farther without realizing how far away he was getting last he came out on a littie ledge from which there was & wonderful view. He had stood there but a couple of minutes when on the opposite slope a tiny puff of smoke arose from the rocks and at ! the same time there was a strange whining sound close to him and a bit of rock flew from the cliff back of him. He remembered then about th fire-stick and jumped behind a big rock. )N DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. VWITH the reconvening of the United States Supreme Court, attention is | wn to the fact that the so-calied iberals” are in the majorit The philosophy of Chi Hughes and the freshran member of the court, Jus- tice Roberts, has increased the num- ber of that famed group of dissenters —Holmes, Bran- deis and Stone—to five. But the life and significance of this new 5-4 line-up of the court may undergo a great change before the end of Presideni Hoover's first term in the White House. The advanced age of one of the jus- tices, illness of another, and the in- clination of a third to retire from publ life may gite the President before | March, 1933, opportunity to name three new members of the court. Already the Chief Executive has been Justice | called on to send the names of three men to the Senate for places on the Supreme bench. One was rejected flatly —_Judge Parker of North Carolina. An- other, Chief Justice Hughes, was con- firmed after considerable éiscussion. And the third, Justice Roberts, was confirmed by the Senate with little difficulty. In the light of the situation which conceivably might confront the Presi- dent in regard to Supreme Court ap- pointments before the end of his first term, it is interesting to glance at the representation by States on the court. Only 26 of the 48 States have had native sons to sit on the supreme tri- | bunal. Twenty-two have had no repre- | sentation. | New York has had the largest num- | ber, with nine. Massachusetts and Ohie, with seven each, come next. Several of the States have contributed as many | as five members to the court—Pennsyl- | vania, Virginia, Maryland and Ten- | nessee. | New Jersey, Kentucky, (Georgia and | South Carolina have hafl three each. Connecticut has had two, as have Ala- | bama, Illinois, California and Louisiana. Minnesota, Wyoming, Michigan, Kan- sas, Mississippi, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire and Utah have had one member each. Of course, some of the States that have had no representation as yet have been admitted to the Union only a short | while, Yet it is true that a certain amount of jealousy exists. There have been requests for at least more sectional representation on the court. * Grape Tapioca.
