Avenues of Fashion For the Gentleman extremes of either too much or too little in the way of accessories and other paraphernslia. Particularly happy is the vaca- tionist who has thought far enough ahead to prepare for fair weather or foul. Articles should be selected not only for their suitability as to fashion, but also as to their prac- ticality, convenience- and occupancy of small space. SUMMER storms must be anticl- pated on any vacation program. A sound and convenient precaution egainst inclement weather is a spe- QOD advice to the Summer vacation sojourner is to avoid cially treated silk raincoat that folds compactly into a bag of the same material, no larger than a well filled tobacco pouch! IN THE same breath we should and do recommend pullman slippers, which are adequate protection for their intended purpose, as well as suitable for hotel and private guest rooms. Incidentally, these also fit into a minimum of space in their own en- velope container. 'ANY ONE who has ever forgotten to take along a robe on any | sort of trip—and particularly a Sum- tmer vacation—will not need a warning in this direction. Most suitable for the purpose is a silk foulard robe, which again is an ideal article of ap- parel for vacation wear, since it re- | quires little or no space in one’s lug- gage, and folds to almost unbelievably small size. Foulard silks in robes are obtainable not only in neat neck- tie patterns, but are likewise available in bolder, madder print patterns, in- cluding the Paisley family, always a classic pattern for robes. BY THE same taken, every Summer night is not a warm one, and many are the evenings when a soft camel’s- hair coat provides needed protection. Camel's hair has the uniquc quality of warmth without burdensome weight. 'HE problem of the vacationist’s headwear is well solved by a hat of extremely light-weight felt that may be worn in the very fashionable porkpie shape and requires no hat | box or special compartment, as it may be tightly rolled to occupy mini- mum space. It is recommended in a gray-green or brown shade, which look well with most Summer outfits. ONVENIENCES of the toilet are best carried in a kit that is de- signed to hold all the essentials. The modern version of the toilet kit is equipped with containers of proper size to hold all the requisites. WHAT with time on one’s hands | it is most difficult to account for the hours of the day; as an assurance that one’s engagements may not be tardily kept, a traveling clock is a handy companion. The model sketched is eminently practical and is pro- | tected by a well-padded leather case. (Copyright. 1935.) Esquire, in co-operation with The Star, will answer all questions on men'’s fashions.

Priest coat of arms is blazoned: “Sa- ble, on & chief argent, three es- tolles gules. Crest: A martlet sable.” The surname Priest is derived from the ecclesiastical office so called. No doubt the adoption of it as a surname is due to the fact that a number of one family followed the calling of priest. The name appears in several countries of Europe as early as 1273. James Priest was an early settler in New England, establishing his home in Dorchester, Mass, in 1637. His name is frequently mentioned in the various land records of that section, and it is found that he was granted & considerable tract. The Priests evi- dently went in for unusual names for their offspring and believed in mating with those bearing equally distinctive appellations. Deliverance Priest, the son of James, married Shadrah Thayer, and from them we have today & number of descendants of the Priest family living in various States. Degory Priest was another settler of this name. He was & passenger on. the Mayflower and died soon after reaching this country. We also find records of John Priest of Weymouth, Mass., in 1657.

BY TIOINTONm!k- :U_‘lfllll. ' s B B e . Unc® Billy Possum shuffied along, wandering here and there, finding a bit to eat here and a bit to eat scmewhere else, but not enough to renlly fill him up. Jt was iate in the afternoon. Before long jolly, round, red Mr. Sun would go to bed behind the Purple Hills. Then the Black Shadows would come creeping out from the Purple Hills across the Green Meadows and into the Green Forest. Then Unc’ Billy and some other folk would rejoice, for there sre folk, you know, who like the night better than the day. It was shortly after the Black Shadows reached the Green Forest that Unc’ Billy heard some one com- ing along behind him. Unc’' Billy immediately climbed a tree. He al- ways feels safer in a tree than on the ground. He stopped at the low- est crotch and looked down. He saw a rather stout fellow shuffiing along and knew him instantly for Bobby Coon. He wasn't afraid of Bobby. “It's a nice evening, Brer Coon,” said Unc' Billy. Bobby Coon stopped and looked up. “Is that you, Neighbor Possum?” said he. “What are you doing up there?” “Jes’ sittin’,” replied Unc’ Billy and grinned down at Bobby. “Then it must be that you have had your dinner,” said Bobby. “Y0’ couldn’t really call it a dinner,” replied Unc’ Billy. “Ah done had a few bites, thats all. Where you bound for, Brer Coon?” “I'm bound for a feast” replied Bobby Coon. Une’ Billy pricked up his ears. “Ah reckon Ah wouldn't mind & feast my- self,” said Unc’ Blilly, licking his lips. “Then you better come along with me.” said Bobby Coon. “Where yo' going, asked Unc’ Billy. “To Farmer Brown's cornfield,” res plied Bobby. “The corn is in the milk, and if there is anything that & like, it is corn in the milk. I had & feast last night and I'm going to have another feast tonight. If you like corn in the milk you'd better come along, Unc’ Billy.” “Ah sho do like co'n in the milk.” replied Unc Billy, Yes, sub, Ad do so. But Ah don't know about going ‘way over there so far from the Green Forest.” “It's safe enough in the night” replied Bobby Coon. “Besides, it isn't so far that a fellow can't get back to the Green Forest if he has to.” “Ah cain’t run as fast as yo’ do, Brer Coon,” said Unc' Billy. “Ah reckon Ah wouldn't feel easy over in that co'n fleld,” said Unc Billy. “No, suh, Ah wouldn't feel easy.” “Just as you say,” replied Bobby Coon. *“Youre missing something good. I can tell you that much. Well, I must be on my way. Just thinking of that sweet, milky corn makes one hungry.” Bobby went on his way, and Unc’ Billy continued to sit where he was and think things over. - The more Brer Coon?” Tune In . .

No, sir, he didn’t like it at all. It might be all right for Bobby Coon, but Bobby was bigger and stronger, better able to fight and better able to run than was he, and Unc' Billy realized that. Neverthe- less, he was faced with a dreadful temptation. Three times Unc’ Billy turned back into the Green Forest, and each time returned to look out over toward that cornfleld. Finally he started for that cornfield. He was going astray and it was Bobby Coon who had led him astray. (Copyright. 1935.) Oh well.

That lime heiped to form bones, thus giving the body its strong, rigid foundation, has, of course, been known for & long time. That 1t helped to form the teeth has likewise been known for & long time, but that the taking of lime in foods or otherwise would actually prevent the decay of the teeth is only a recent discovery. Another discovery was that “rickets” that give children the bow legs and other bony deformities, due to lack of ime and sunshine, and lime is now used in the preveniion of rickets. However, lately it has been found that lime does a great deal more than form solid bone and teeth; that it has many uses in the soft tissues and in the blood and other flulds Jf the body. Thus digestion is promoted and ulcer of the stomach and of the small intestine prevented by the use of sufficient lime in the body. Lime has been used for & number of years nmow ‘n the treatment of “bleeding,” as it helps the blood to thicken or coagulate. And in St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, some years ago Dr. M. H. Cameron dis- covered that a number of cases of “free bleeders” who were given lime to coasgulate the blood found that their old varicose ulcers of the leg had been completely healed by the lime. Lime is now used regularly in varicose ulcers. Lime prevents nervous spasm and skin frritations. Lime is now used as a heart tonic, has been found to ease the pain in the advanced type of cancer, has a healing influence on tuberculosis and reduces enlarged glands. For those who have any of the above disabllities lime is often of great help. It may be obtained in foods or taken direct if necessary. For those of us who are free of such allments it would be wise to make sure of a good daily supply of lime as & means of maintaining health. Fortunately, milk or cheese or both will give us all the lime we need. Rag Rug Rule.

JULY 17, 1935 Nature’s Children . Swainson’s Warbler (Helinara Swainsonii.) BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. OW well do you know the friends of our forests, the warblers? They are the in- dustrious dwellers of our woodlands and form a grand army of inseci hunters. Without their tireless the family, it is trpe, have bad habits, but this cannot be avoided in such a large group, especially one of 140 species. The warblers are well distributed BMe 169 over our country at large, though more of them have their Summer homes in the eastern part of the United States than in the west. How- ever, there are a number of notable species in the Western as well as in the Southern States. ‘The Old World warblers are very unliKe their New World cousins both in appearance and habits. Our male ‘warblers are brilliantly clad, and in many cases do not resemble at all their more demure mates, whereas the Old World warblers are not only small, but are somberly clothed, and the sexes very similar in coloration. Our wood warblers do not restrict themselves entirely to the wooded sec- tions of the country. They love sun- shine and light. It is quite true that there are some who at nesting time seek the seclusion of the mountains or where the conifers grow close to- gether. As soon as domestic duties are creditably disposed of the happy family joins their kinfolk of the woods, forest, brush clearings and glades. Their preference for these places, most of them so close to our own houses, enables us to easily make their acquaintance. As songesters their name s mis- leading. They cannot be said to be highly delightful singers, but what they have is freely and abundantly given. They are very enthusiastic about their vocal accomplishments and sing at their work, pausing in their bug hunting long enough for a verse DO YOU LIKE ROACHES IN YOUR DIET?
