MANY PEOPLE ENJOY FOX
HUNT SATURDAY NIGHT
A fox hunt that is considered by
experienced fox hunters as one of
the most successful in many years,
occurred about four miles east of
Old Fort on Saturday night.
This chase was conducted by Har
die Eller and Louis Black, assisted
by all the men and boys in this vi
cinity who had fox hounds.
The hunt started about John Mc
Koy's farm about 10 o'clock and
lasted about three hours. Twenty
five hounds lifted their musical voic
es, and the sounds of their baying
never ceased during the three hours.
This was a wonderful treat to the
lovers of the chase and over 150
people were parked on No. 10 high
way, which was in hearing of the
hounds running the entire time.
Mr. Albert Hicks and Mr. John
Mackey, who are experienced fox
hunters and have enjoyed this sport
for many years, stated that this was
the best fox hunt they had ever
known.
SQUIRREL HUNTERS
TAKE TO THE HILLS
I
Many hunters from Old Fort and
vicinity, who have been anxiously;
■waiting for the squirrel season to
open, were up bright and early Mon
day morning and hastened away to1
the hills.
Chief among the crowd of hunters
was J. A. Dalton, a veteran squirrel
hunter, and an expert in the use of a
rifle. Although Mr. Dalton is over
90 years of age, he can walk as live
ly and shoot as -straight as many
hunters who lack 50 yeai's of his age.
He claims to have a rifle that "will
not fire until it reaches the dead
■center."

BEBE DANIELS FILM
DRAMATIC CROOK THRILLER
!
A thrill awaits you at Everybody's j
Theatre. This reviewer was pleasur
ably surprised and fascinated by the
meteoric screen personality, Bebe
Daniels, when she enacted her stir
ring role in "Rio Rita." Now this
superlative songbird of the vocal;
screen shows her talents in anothei j
direction—as an eminently capable;
and distinguished dramatic actress
in "Alias French Gertie." j
"Alias Fi ench Gertie" is a dra-:
11 matic inside picture of the society j
"racket" as practiced by smooth i
working "French" maids and their
ynale accomplices. The man in the i
story is well played by Ben Lyon, j
who makes his first screen appear- i
ance opposite Miss Daniels in this |
film

Waist 7 Inches Over
Hips, Bureau's Word
Washington.—A woman's waist, that
mysterious line so fascinating to poets
and lovers since time began, has at
last been definitely designated by
Uncle Sam himself.
Acting as referee for a group of
pattern makers the bureau of stand
ards of the United States Department
of Commerce has decreed that a wom
an's waistline is just seven inches
above the hips.
According to the measurements
evolved from the conference of manu
facturers, merchants and educators,
there is no longer one perfect woman
as represented by the cold nia.ule
woman without arms, but many.
The little slim brunette, the sta
tuesque tall blond, the plump woman
and the Hollywood diet thin woman
have now a chance to look In the
mirror and with satisfied sighs say:
"I'm perfect."
Here is the new set of proper meas- !
urements, all figures in inches:
WOMEN.

Growth of Banking Education
DENVER, Colo.—At tlie American '
Institute of Banking convention held
here last month the growth in the
effort among bank employees to pro
vide themselves with banking educa
tion was shown by the fact, as re
ported by one speaker, that 12 years
ago the institute had 80 study chap
ters, today 20S, and that its enroll
ment in the study courses had grown
from 11,000 to 45,000, or an increase
of over 300 per cent. The graduates
number nearly 14,000. The institute
is the educational section of the Ameri
can Bankers Association through
which bank workers are given instruc
tion in theoretical and practical sub
jects relating to their business.

constipation
"I had a stubborn case of
constipation after a very
severe spell of grip," says
Mr. John B. Hutchison, of
Neosho, Mo. "When I would
get constipated, I'd feel so
sleepy, tired and worn-out.
"When one feels this way,
work is much harder to do,
especially farm work. I
would have dizzy headaches
when I could hardly see to
work, but after I read of
Black-Draught, I began tak
ing it. I did not have the
headaches any more.
"When I have the sluggish,
tired feeling, I take a few
doses of Black-Draught, and
it seems to carry off the
poison and I feel just fine. I
use Black-Draught at regu
lar intervals. It is easy to
take and I know it helps me."
This medicine is compos
ed of pure botanical roots and
herbs. Contains no chemi
cals. In 25-cent packages.

Hints For Homemakers
By Jane Rogers
1
FOR the best toast you have ever
tasted, lay the slices of bread
in the open oven for a few minutes
before toasting them. In addition
to improving the flavor, it makes
the toast more digestible, and it
browns much more evenly.
In providing for your family's
health during the summer, remem
ber that iced beverages are by no
means a luxury; that on the con
trary they are as healthful as they
are delicious. The fruit juices
furnish vitamins, the sugar is a
much needed source of quick ener
gy, while the beverage as a whole
replenishes in the body the liquid
lost in the form of perspiration.
