U i Trend Toward Higher Necklines. the suit pictured the trend toward higher necklines Is apparent nnd the front' opening, with ties of the silk In the frock, murks It as In iine with the lutest Ideas. The gradu-ated width of the band that finishes the skirt Is another Item of Interest that adds to Its charm. Hut midsummer has brought with It distinctly new Ideas In ensemble suits the beginning of an exciting chap-ter In their story. It opens with trans-parent ensembles, Introducing first those In which a transparent coat Is worn over a printed silk frock, and followed by those In which the frock Is also of a transparent material, as printed chiffon or georgette. Last and most fascinating are ensembles having coats In duplicate, that is, real-ly two coats made Just ullke, one of chiffon In a color, and one of black sal in or crepe In light, supple qualliy, to be worn over It. The coats can be worn separately. Another new note appears In the use of one color In two shades for the en-semble dress and coat, as In a satin misdemeanor, In the eyes, of fashion-ables, to uppear anywhere without a buttonhole flower It simply Isn't done. The mode mny Ignore or refuse to see that petticoats are often con-spicuous by their ahsence It makes no dlfferenct! but the pretty bouton-nler- e must be among those present In the summary of items that go to make up a chic toilette. It Is a pretty fad to wear a buttonhole flower like those that adorn the hat, or If the hut Is not In bloom, then the flower Is likely to match It In color. There never was a more becoming fashion and every one may follow It the expense Is so trilling. Iltittonhole flowers, like costume flowers, are either millinery blossoms or they are made of ribbons, hut mil-linery (lowers are the most popular.

At the left two popples made of shirred and shaded ribbon have sev-eral long ends of the ribbon trailing from them. A rose with pendant buds on silver stems has gauze foliage and is made of light silk petals veiled with silver tinsel.

Weataro Nawapapar I'uluo ) MARY GRAHAM BONNER. COUGH WRETCHES 1'i'tcr Gnome was feeling very mid. II u wuB uugry, too. You know how much I'eter Gnome loves children uud It lual.iu hllu both utiry und ud If children huve to have any trouble whatever. He Is ulways goln about, wearing an Invisible rolie so people cannot see him, trying to do all he cun to help children. He U happiest when children are happy. Ilu Is sad when miyihln goes wroi! with them. Uu hud been buy arguing with the Tonsil Twins, who had heeu bothering a Ulllu friend of lii, when he heard that the Whooping C'ouh Wretches had gone to visit some children iu u beautiful towu overlooking the sea. lie wus particularly fond of these children. In fact he didn't know uny children of whom he wa. more fond than these two children lu particular whose names were John and Gordon. Gordon was very little not little for his UKe, but little compared to his older brother, John. Gordon was not so very old. He had not been In the world very long, hut every minute and every day since he had been In the world he hud been growing more won-derful. Peter fluotne thought, he was very underfill. He loved (he look of hli "You Wretches," He Said. straight little back and sturdy legs, He liked the way his bright golden hair curled up a little at the ends. He liked him when be was not look-ing at his back but when his face wai to be seen, for his face, thought I'eter Gnome, was just about as all right as a face could be. Gordon was not called Gordon very often though It was his real name. He was usuaHy called Honey or some-thing very affectionate. It was even hard not to call him Iinhy, though he was a baby no longer, Hut he was lovable and sweet and ap-pealing in much the same way that a baby Is lovable and sweet and appeal-ing. When he was fast asleep he looked so adorable. Oh, how adorable h looked then. And when he woke up and his gay voice could be heard all over the house he seemed even more adorable. He was always suddenly so wlde-awaU- e and so bright. John was a splendid boy, fine and unselfish, manly and admirable In every wny, which meant, of course, that Peter Gnome admired him huge-ly. I'eter could never have told you whether he thought more of John than of Gordon, or more of Gordon than of John. Yet perhaps because John had boe,n In the world longer than Gordon be was a trifle fonder of John. He had bad more time In which to grow fond of John I And now those wretched wretches of Whooping Cough creatures had gone, without being Invited, to see John and Gordon. They took their n'hoops along with them. True, John and Gordon and their mother and daddy were always welcoming friends to the house, but when those wretches came along no one wanted them at all. They played their same mean games. Every so often they made John give a whooping cough nnd they did the same thing with Gordon. I'eter Gnome rushed off to see them. "You wretches:" he said. "You mean, meuu wretches, to come and play your horrid games In the house where John and Gordon live, and even when they go out into their back gar-- den you follow them along." The Whooping Cough Wretches nre such wretches that they like to be mean. That Just shows you what they are like. And they laughed at I'eter Gnome and made John whoop und then made Gordon whoop. "You should be ashamed of your-selves," said I'eter Gnome. "Whoop, whoop, whoop," cackled the Whooping Cough Wretches. "Oh, you have been here long enough now, do. for pity's sake, leave my two friends. John and Gordon, stone now." Well, they didn't mind when were they called wretches, they were never ashamed of themselves, but when I'e ter Gnome suggested they had been around long enough they thought' to themselves that maybe they were tired of plavln- - here, nnd thv began to pad: up their things and leave.

'STOft?K 0c mud 90c ALL DRUGGISTS TRAFFIC CONTROL VERY IMPORTANT Matter of Rtght-of-VVa- y on Streets Still Continues Paramount Issue. (I?r C. B At'OL, Pronlflent National flafly Pnunt'll.) The frst automohlle brought with It a complex problem which has In-creased In complexity until at the present time It affects, directlv or In- - directly, every Inhabitant of this coun-try. There are now 17,71)0,000 auto-mohll-registered In the United States, and it Is estimated that by in,r.() there will he fiO.Oon.OOO. There is one aulomohile for every six people In this country. Cities were almost wholly unprepared to meet this new tisc of transportation, and the question of trafllc control has risen suddenly In Importance. Almost anyone who trav-els the streets of our large cities either afoot or In the cushioned seats of an automohlle realizes the vast necessity for adequate means 'of controlling trafllc. Rlaht-of-Wa- y Question. One of the quibbles of motorists and pedestrians Is: Who has the right-of-way- ? A poet with an ample sense of humor has written an ode to the man who died maintaining his right-of-wa- Laws have been passed In an attempt to define the matter of the right-of-wa- y on the streets, but still It contin-ues as a paramount issue In the trafllc control problem. It Is demonstrated dally In the larg-er cities that proper control and su-pervision of trallle has resulted in fewer accidents. Elimination of left-han- d turns, segregation of street tratllc, pedestrian control, tratllc officers, synchronized trallle lights, and numer-ous other devices have been Invented to lessen the hazards to life and limb. Iiusy streets where trallle Is thus con-trolled have much fewer accidents, iu proportion to the number of vehicles and pedestrians, than uncontrolled streets lime. Traffic-Contr- Problem. A feature of the trallic-contr- prob-lem Is the increasing Importance of mechanically operated control. The tnillic ollleer Is becoming n huge bur-den of expense u the larger cities. In the congested districts there are some-times as many as four or more ollicers on eaeli of two or three shifts super-vising the truffle at one intersection. The salaries of these men. capitalized at ii per cent, sometimes represent a per.nnnent investment of half a million dollars for one intersection. As an example of what the synchron-ized trallle signal can do for trallle, the cily of Chicago may , he cited. Michigan avenue, w hich Is an unusually wide street, bears the heaviest through-tralll- e in that city. In the length of street covered by the trallle lights, fa-talities have been reduced 75 per cent since the lights were Installed two years ago. The use of these signals has been found to speed up traffic dur-ing the rush hours, although it slows it during the non-rus- periods. j Tips on Washing Car 1.

Next In turn comes Itussla with about one-thir- d this mile-age. Germany Is third and France fourth. Canada, despite Its great sl7.e, has but 2."0,000 miles of wire, or about one-hal- f as much as France. The United Kingdom Is comparatively poor-ly off, with litio.OOO miles of wire, while Itrltish India Is somewhat better equipped. Nation's Huslness. A Joke "Ha ! ha !" merrily laughed the femi-nine guest of a well-know- hotel. "This Ls a pood Joke." "What IsV' asked her husband.

Give Steering Gear and Brakes Right Attention There are two elements of every mo-tor car upon the perfect operation of which vitally depends the lives and "limbs of the passengers. These are the steering gear and the brakes. The engine may "go dead," the gears strip, or Important parts of the-- mech-anism may break, with not more seri-ous result than delay, Inconvenience and a repair bill; but when the steer-ing gear fulls, an accident of a more or less serious character usually takes place, explains an expert. It Is thus obviously advisable, as a reasonable precaution, frequently to Inspect all parts of the steering gear with the ut-most thoroughness In order to fore-stall derangements. All steering gears are very much alike, und consist of these parts: .The steering column nnd steering device, usually located at Its lower end under the hood, with Its crank extending down under the car; the drag-link- , which connects the steering crank with the knuckle of or.e or the other of the front wheels; the parallel rod, which connects the knuckles of the two front wheels nnd the pivoted knuckles of the two wheels with their spindles and pins. In a general way the Inspection of a steering gear consists In assuring oneself that the fastening devices con-necting these parts are all perfectly secure and that there Is no undue looseness or lost motion In any of the Joints, or elsewhere in the system.

Perhaps doctors do not prescribe for themselves because they cannot send Friction Common Cause themselves a bill. of Engine Overheating Every machine, whether a mechani-cal motor or the human body, requires thorough oiling fu order to secure ef-ficient operation. Where there is im-proper oiling, there Is friction, and where there Is friction, heat gener-ates. Heat, In the last analysis, is responsible for burnt-ou- t bearings In motors and death by scarlet fever In human beings. It is generally believed that In the oil sump there lies a pool of oil, Into which the hearings dip and which the motor pump forces Into the various running parts of the motor. This Is only half the truth. When a motor has been running long enough to be warm, it heats the oil and creates a m!t, or fog, of tiny oil particles, which permeates thoroughly ull the lower parts of the motor. The danger In letting your oil supply run low is in thinning out or entirely abolishing this oily mist. This Is a danger you cannot see. Vi.u will be made aware of It by watching the heat Indicator on the r:iriivr cap, however, and should thf mercury In this show a swift rise, look at your oil. Ask your gnruj.t man, and he will tell you that burned hearings, scored cylinder walls anil 1 inken rods are some of his chief Items of repair due to low oil supply. Extra Light Bulbs Carry an extra set of light bulbs with you. If your headlights have be-come dim, put In new bulbs or have the reflectors resilvered. Good drlv Ing lights are all Important. A spot-light Is handy, although not a neces-sity. Some of them come so mounted as to form a trouble-ligh- t which may be used around any part of the car. Watch your tall-lig- to see that It doesn't burn out. Be courteous with your lights on the road. Switch on the "dimmers" when meeting another car, even though you have nonglarlng lenses. |
