Avenues of Fashion For the Gentleman EREWITH are thoughts for August that will contribute to one’s fun, com- H fort and convenience. The roving reporter has this week begged off the description of a planned en- semble and merely puts down on paper those items which caught his eye during his Midsummer wander- ings. * %k %k X EATHER seems to be the favorite topic of conversation. For the fmportant executive who would dis- cuss the elements authoritatively and become a forecaster, we recommend @ desk barometer which eliminates the necessity of a technical manual to translate its meaning. It is truly & low-pressure guide for high-pressure tycoons. * ok ok Xk IN/© LONGER is the amateur lim- ited to the ordinary snapshot under good weather conditions, but he may now record for posterity many moments heretofore too difficult to snap. Small miniature type cameras, moderately priced, are now obtainable with lenses and aperture equipment formerly only available on “pro” out- fits. These new cameras permit the amateur to snap action pictures and shots where the lighting is anything but ideal. Incidentally, these cameras take a roll of film sufficient for 32 pictures with one loading. * Xk %k X WHAT with the popularity of brown reversed calf for footwear it was perhaps to be expected that the vogue Zor this leather would spread to other accessories of dress. Here it is in a very smart cinch buckle belt in this finish. This belt is very appropriate for general sports and country wear. X E* IT HAS been many years since any one questioned the masculinity and practicability of the wrist-watch. When worn in appropriately virile leathers and models it may be con- sidered as “male” as a pair of sus- penders. For certain conditions there is a need for even greater ruggedness in this particular style of timepiece, and two new models are available. One is the reversible type, which per- mits the wearer to turn the crystal inward, thus protecting it from all eventualities. The reversible type is excellent for active sport wear. Another style also suitably fulfills this purpose, as it is waterproof, knockproof and practically undam- ageable. * kK ok NO GREATER boating enthusiasts are there than the British. They bave for years favored a certain type ©f boating sneaker which is now available in this country. This sneaker is made with a corrugated rubber sole that provides sure-footed- ness under every seagoing condition. * k *x % TH:!.'RE is & particular satisfaction about possessing personal acces- sories suitably identified with one’s personal monogram. The ingenious product of two men's jewelry manu- - facturers makes this possible on two very different types of tie clasps. These clasps are immediately obtain- able in one’s own initials “while you wait,” as the usual engraving delays have been eliminated. * Xk ¥ % SOME of our toughest guys hdve rambling| us have found out that comfort about one’s feet and legs is desirable on one’s tour of the fairways or courts. The ankle height sock sketched has been developed under “pro” guidance, and while made of wool is lined with lisle to promote comfort. Incidental- ly, these are non-shrinkable, * ok Xk 'HERE seems to be no end to the various types and models of knit- ted shorts that have been introduced since their inception this Spring. Truly, this is a good thing, since all of these styles have contributed to Summer comfort. We have sketched one of the newest briefs, which, al- though not quite so abbreviated, fea- tures a woven elastic top and legs prevented from riding up with sim- flar elastic edging at the bottom.

NE of the most curious of all the ideas one can get into one’s head is the suspicion of inadequacy. Young persons between 15 and 20 seem to suffer most from such ideas. This is, perhaps, not so strange when you recall it is during these years that all of us begin to take our larger socisfl surroundings seriously. We all live surrounded by society from the cradle to the grave. But, nevertheless, we all blunder into that society. Disappointment is the chief cause of the feeling of inadequacy—fail- ures, which are bound to happen even when we try our best to succeed. This world has always been—and al- ‘ways will be—full of chances to make misjudgments about our abilities. Each error tends to make us feel somewhat smaller than our original picture of ourselves. Let a series of such shocks come to us, and our sus- picion grows that perhaps we can never accomplish anything. It is easy to remember and hard to forget. One reason why so many persons suffer from feelings of inadequacy is that they do not talk the matter over with their friends. In the interest of mental health, one should do this every now and then. Talk to any successful man, and he will tell you of a long line of failures which he has had, but which he promptly charged off of his books, and went to work again. The best way to detect a feeling of inadequacy is to study how slowly and haltingly some persons enter the arena of debatable problems. There are numbers of adults who will shy at the prospect of coming to decisions. When you see this you have uncovered a feeling of inadequacy. stamped envelope for reply. Bedtime (Copyright. 1935.) Stories Reddy Loses His Rider. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. No troubles ever can attend But which in time will have an end. Old Mother Nature. EDDY FOX, with angry Mother R Cat on his back, felt that he was in just about the worst trouble he had ever been in. It was painful trouble, and, of course, it was most mortifying. It hurt his pride and self-esteem, and, you know, hurts of that kind are among the worst of hurts. Reddy’s present prob- lem was how to get rid of that Cat. He might have known, had he done| any real thinking, that that Cat wouldn’t go far with him. She would want to get back to that precious baby of hers. But Reddy was too upset and was suffering too much from those sharp claws that were digging into his back to do much of any thinking. What he did he did more by instinct than through reason. Hooty the Owl, who, unknown to Reddy, was a witness of his trouble and ignominious flight with the Cat on his back, was also wondering how Reddy was going to get rid of his un- welcome rider. On great, silent wing he followed, in order to see just what would happen. He saw Reddy head for a hole under the barn, and how Reddy did run! That hole under the barn was just big enough for him to get through, and no more. Hooty chuckled. He saw at once what Reddy’s idea was. That Cat certainly couldn’t go through the hole with Reddy. She would be knocked off. He chuckled again as he watched Reddy make a frantic dash straight at that hole, andeat the same time he saw Mother Cat lightly jump from Reddy's back just in the nick of time. Reddy disappeared under the barn. Mother Cat stood for 8 moment with her back arched and her tail three times its natural size as she glared into that hole. Then slowly she turned and, growling softly to her- self, started slowly back toward the shed, her tail still big and her back still slightly arched. She was a per- fect picture of an angry and fearless Mother Cat. Half way to the shed she suddenly lowered that tail and started for that shed almost as fast as Reddy had run away from it. But she was not running because she herself was afraid. She was running so as to reach that kitten as soon as possible. It was anxiety for her baby that caused Mother Cat to run now. She disappeared in the woodshed. Hooty perched on the top of a tele- phone pole. It was a splendid place from which to watch all that went | on around. Also it was a splendid place to be unseen, although in plain sight. You see, sitting so straight on the top of that pole he looked in the moonlight for all the world like a part of the pole itself. Had you happened along there you probably wouldn't have noticed him at all, even had you looked straight at him. It was some time before anything happened. Then Hooty saw the sharp nose of Reddy poked out from the hole’ under the barn. He knew that Reddy was wait- ing to see if the way was clear. He chuckled as he watched, for he could guess just how Reddy felt. Reddy didn't intend to take any unnecessary | chance of meeting that Cat again. looking out, but hesitating to come out. At last Reddy poked his whole head out. He looked this way. He looked that way. He looked every way. There was no Cat in sight. Cautiously Reddy came half way out and paused for a last thorough look. Then he came wholly out and began to sneak along close to the barn. Suddenly out from the shed flew a living fury. It was Mother Cat. She had seen Reddy come out. Reddy 4, e p s i 170 CAUTIOUSLY REDDY CAME HALF WAY OUT AND PAUSED FOR A LAST LOOK AROUND. wasted no time. How he did run! And after him raced little Mother Cat, her tail three times its natural size. She didn't go far, only far enough to make sure that Reddy would keep right on going. Then she turned and proudly and triumphantly made her way back to the shed and her precious baby. As for Hooty the Owl, he chuckled all the way back to the Green Forest.

MEDITERRANEAN Europe—De Luxe service on famous express liners via Nature’s Children BLACK-POLL WARBLER Dendroica Striata. BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. BOUT the latter part of May the jolly black polls arrive, whistling their cheery tune. You have been watching the other warblers courting and later deeply engrossed in family affairs, so when this late traveler arrives you may at first mistake him for his cousin, the black and white warbler, a aimble fellow whose eagle eyes search every crevice and furrow of the tree bark for lurking insects or anchored insect eggs. But the black poll wears his black cap at a rakisk angle. It is most be- coming, contrasting well with his white cheeks and coat of gray with black stripes. His shirt is yellow, with the usual black streaks, a mark of the warbler family. His spouse wears no cap and her costume 1is av olive gray above. Her other colors are the same as those worn by her mate. By Autumn the wedding finery has been discarded. Parents and young are clothed in the inconspicuous gar- ments of paler colors that do not at- tract too much attention. All warblers are friends of our trees, They hunt from dawn to dusk, with & most thorough inspection of every twig, from the topmost branches down to the base cf the trunk and keep them clear of insect life. Sometimes you find the black poll very industriously gleaning a repast from the low bushes or even venturing on the ground to pick up a husky stroller who, perchance, tumbled from the bush when the black-cap landed there. Often their companions in the deep woods are the gentle woodpewees, also active insect hunters. Usually the mothers in this family select a coniferous tree (evergreen) in which to build a nursery. It is a well constructed cradle made of root- lets, grasses, lichens and twigs of spruce fir. The inner walls are care- fully lined witn fine grasses and feath- ers. Into this cozy basinet are laid four or five whitish eggs that are well marked with brown. If you have missed seeing these lov- able whistlers in May, watch for them in Iate Sepiember or October, on their return trip to South America for their vacation. These tiny travelers think nothing of a three or even four thousand mile Jjourney from their homelands, where they and their children were born, to the warmer climate, where they spend their happy Winters. It is not un- usual for them to make 75 miles a day, stopping once in a while to re- fuel. (Copyright 1935.) Little Benny BY LEE PAPE.

I'm just beginning to realize that the toll has been too heavy, the cost has been too grate. If I could of just asked for liver and onions and got it without a murmur, my life would of been an earthly para- dise, but was such the case? Such was not. Every dish of liver and onions was won at the cost of an end- less preliminerry debate requiring the fervor of an orator and the cunning of a lawyer. And is it werth it; I ask myself? No, I answer myself. So I've decided to cast liver and onions from my mind forever for the sake of peace without victory, he said.

IT 1S thought that this well-known family derived its name from & locality in Wiltshire, England. Ac- cording to tradition, the early ancestor of the Branch family was Sir John Branch, lord mayor of London in 1485. Christopher Branch, the American immigrant, was born about 1600, and |in 1619 came with his wife Mary to Virginia. He died in 1682, leaving several sons to carry on this splendid name. Thomas Branch lived in He: rico County, as did his brother Wil- liam. Christopher established his home in Charles City County. The descendants of these sons have become prominent in the history of the State of Virginia. ‘The coat of arms here shown, which was brought to this country by Christopher, the founder, is blazoned: “Argent, a lion rampant gules, op- pressed by a bend sable.
