NEW YORK, Nov. it.—A prominent
New York newapaper is now conduet-
ins a contest featuring the typical girl
of today. Well known artists, cou-
turiers, actresses and literary men, a
renowned advocate of the' feminist
movement and a modern Bean Brum-
mel ve been consulted ea to their
impressions of this somewhat illusive
individual, and great has been the di-
versity of opnions. The modern
maiden has been described as every-
thing from puritanical to over-daring,
from an imitation of her English sis-
scarf ere white, in accordance with
the black and white scheme of the
outfit. The long peplum blouse is of
black1 velour de laine striped with
white, and very stunning It is in 1t
unbroken simplicity of line. White
porcelain ball buttons form the fasten-
ing and trim the natty patch pockets.
The skirt is a simple four-gored model
of plain black velour de laine, cut
very short to permit freedom of move-
ment.
Motor apparel also assumes un-
wonted charm. The new coats, quite
as /pug as the old-time shapeless
affairs, are infinitely graceful in line
owing to the exquisite draping quali-
ties of the new coatings. Many of
them have enormous fur collars, the
pelts of the more shaggy animals be-
ing used for this purpose. Some of
the lighter weight coats are lined with
brilliant, contrasting fabrics, as in the
case of the garment which the fair mo-
torist in our second illustration carries
on her arm. The coat itself is gray
duvetyne and the lining of red and
white polka dotsilk, which latter fab-
ric is repeated in her natty cap and
in the girdle of her gray crepon
gown. This gown, while supremely
serviceable, to quite fitting for an in-
formal luncheon or dinner at a way-

When we read the announcement in
the Georgetown Commercial that Edi-
tor Rountree had gone to Chicago to
attend the meeting of the executive
committee of the National Editorial
Association, we thought we could de-
tect the still small voice of a gambler's
hunch telling hr that he waa to be
successful in bringing the next con-
rention tn Texas, but we would not
listen to the voice and found content-
ment in saying that if the convention
did not come to Texas this time it
would later on. Next time we have a
chance to fortell an event before it
happens we are going to use it and
take chances on being a good prophet.

There are many ways of dodging taxes
one, particularly, to dodging of taxes
on notes, and that ought to be a very
easy matter to remedy. My plan is
simple.

other kind of instrument given for

ation from year to year as long as

rendered each year of its exstence for

Oho very remarkable feature about
the politics in the United States to-
day is that every State and every alg-
riet can always get plenty of advice
from outside as to whom it should
elect as its officials. Formerly each
state was ailowd to settie its own po-
litical differences without so much free
advice and outside Interference was
roundly resented. Many of those who
have prated loudest about letting the
people rule have always been the hira
in bring’ into a state or a istriet to
the people the advice from the out-
siders. Do they shout “let the people
rule" to fool them and then attempt
to have tbelr will and not the will of
the people in vogue? Very often it

State Board of Health exists for the
purpose of serving the people of its
State in svery way possible, the secre-
tary of the Kansas State Board of
Health has prepared an outline for the
use of women’s clubs in studying health
questions. This outline, issued in a
small leaflet, will prove of Immense
value in directing the work of the
women’s clubs desiring to take up this
line of acjivity. Under foods and drugs
appears a study’of foods, including
their preparation and preservation, a

Requirements of Law.
"And now, comrades, the law requlre,
you to make your application for a
pension before the County Judge in
which county you reside, and your wit-
ne3se9, if they reslde in your county,
they, too, must go before the County
-udse and give their evidence. No
other person under our pension law,
can ‘egay take the place of the
County Judge, and if the applicant and
his witnesses, or either of them from
any disability, can not go to the’office
of the County Judge, then he, under
the law must go to them. The law
require* two witnesses to the services
in the Confederate army of the appli-
cant or if the applicant be a widow of
her husband’s service in the army.’ If
the living witnesses can not be found,
the applicant should make that state-
ment under oath, then he or she is
authorized under the law to use such
document* and records as will tend to
prove the serviee of applicant or appli.
cant’s husband In the army. A strict
compilatce with the’pension laws of
Texas by the officers whose duty it is
to execute them will greatly faciljtate
matters and bring quicker and surer
relief to those who need the help of
the pension bounty so generously of-
fered by the State of Texas.
“An applicant may own a home of
the value of $1000: If the home value
to in excess of thet amount, the appli-
cant can not receive a pension. In
addition to the home the applicant may
possess other property not to exceed
In value Also he dr she may be
in possession of an annual income of
not more than 1300. The applicant
may be in possession of one or all of
these and yet be entitled to a pension,
while an excuse In either would debar
him from the pension.
“Again we beg all to be patient, as-
suring you that every applicant shall
receive attention just as early as.It is
possible to reach their claims? 4

in uch a one that you can tell the

the commisatoner fall or retuse to ap-

can not get the proof that is absolutely
