OUR MAGAZINE SECTION " Interesting Features for the Entire Family Uncommon Sense.. ♦ neglected genius ONE of the beet-known of modern poet8, 111 and destitute after a life time «>f toll, announces cheerfully that l i u emphatically not a neglected genius. True, he has no money, but It was is* t money that he worked for. Ills fume Is perhaps not as great as his talent merited, but he did not work for fame. He worked for the Joy of working, and that was enough. lie looks back upon life feeling that it brought him all that he could ask. Genius Is not neglected any more than diamonds are neglected, and for the same reason. This man. had he chosen, could now be comfortably sup plied with money. We believe that he should have been. Every man owes It to himself to gain Independence, and money means independence. Our poet’s celeb rity could have been coined Into Something to Think sibout By F. A. WALKER WITH FLYING COLORS IF YOU wish In your particular sphere of endeavor to reuch a des tination of more than ordinary Impor tance, press untiringly forward In all kinds of weather. Let neither heat nor cold deter or swerve you from your purpose when once you have decided your course. Pay no attention to the sneers of the frivolous. Keep your mind firmly fixed on your resolve and march reso lutely ahead. There will be times when you will be exhausted, footsore and dlscour aged; when opposing winds beat furi ously and you seem to lack sufficient strength to make another step for ward. When these depressing periods overtake you, Bit down and rest awhile. Ever remember that to get the best It Is necessary to give the best. Do not offend those beneath you with gruff words. Be uniformly courteous. Break no promise. Withhold Judg ment. Be fair in business and keep off the velvety grass-grown plot of your neighbor. The perplexities that vex your spirit are familiar to all humanity in all walks of life. No one by any manner of means can escape them, but it Is possible for anyone to overcome them. Use your mind. Be r rational be ing. By patience, well-doing and faith, turn your threatened defeat Into victory. Thousands of noble teen and women who have passed this way before you, thus obtained mastery over themselves, scarred outwardly with the wounds of battle, but un blemished within. Use your hands In righteous work; your eyes to look up to the beautiful arch overhead; your ears to hear good; your tongue to praise God and to cheer and encourage others less fortunate than yourself. Bather than condemn, hold your peace. Purge your heart of covetousness and hate. Envy Is a useless waste of energy which produces only mischief and enough cash to ease his old age, but If he preferred to neglect his oppor tunities It Is nobody’s business but his own. It Is his absence of bitterness that Is worth heeding. He has discovered, what every other man should discover, that no earnest effort Is wasted. lie has learned that people are only too ready to recognize genius when they flnd It, and to reward It when they recognize It. Indeed, so keen Is ;ie hunt for genius that hundreds of near-geniuses grow prosperous In America ns soon os they betray the least sign of tnlent. Publishers and producers hunt for men who can write. Great corpora tions send out t scouts for men with executive or engineering ability that Is beyond the common order. No musician who Is really gifted ever falls of an audience. And even Industrious mediocrity will sometimes be mistaken for genius and have riches thrust upon It. Cast the fear that you mny be a neglected genius from among your worries. If you are a genius somebody will find It out, and yon will have to hire an office boy to keep people from Invading your privacy. Even If you are not a genius you are likely to be mistaken for one. Hut that will not harm you unless you make the mistake yourself. Be care ful not to do that, for It will be fatal. (© by John Blake.) r | PERFECT DAYS ALWAYS By GRACE E. HALL l SPHERE isn’t a day In the whole A round year That Isn’t a perfect day; Measured and trued and pointed with gold, It glides on Its destined way; It Is one of the gems that Is riven you— A pearl In life’s necklace rare, And It hasn’t a scar and It hasn’t a mar— Unless you have made It there. The sun eannot shine every day of your life, Rut the soft clouds have their place; If all of the hours were a glitter and shine, Tou would weary In each day’a race; For the eyes must behold and the soul must feel I The peace of these quiet grays, That soften the light and refresh our sight, After the burning rays. There Is beauty abundant for every need In every day of the year; If you cannot see it, you’re blind In For beauty Is ever near; Whatever your lot, you may freely share In the paintings of earth and sky; They are wondrous In worth and there’s never a dearth Of charm—for the seeing eye.

A “pork-barrel" measure, there fore, Is one which would enrich certain districts at the expense of the public treasury, either by providing for costly Improve ments or by spending money un necessarily. To find the genesis of the phrase we have to go back to the earlier days of the republic, when the majority of the citi zens were farmers who, during the winter, were forced to live on salt pork. If their supply was adequate and their barrels well filled, they said they had no need to worry about a long, hard winter—the pork-barrel | would take care of them. In a | similar, but more metaphorical ' sense, they now look to their congressmen to take care of | them by securing at least a par tton of the 'pork-barrel” legls I lutton, which will leud to profits on labor, land and supplies.

One designer makes a cape of dark blue serge that extends to the waist in front and to the knees In back, flar ing In a drcle.j A scarf of red and black folds around the neck and hangs down to the hips on the side front, being held In place by the belt of the dark blue dress beneath. There are as many ways of varying the cape suit for travel as there are couturiers In Paris, but the general rule Is that it must be made of some practical wool material, with the cape not more than hip length In front. The scnrf, In combination with the cape, Is seen on many of these models. Suits for travel have short coats and plain, rnther short skirts. They ar» very trim und very untrlmmed, ex cept for unusual stitching, braid and buttons. The pocket Is usually a fea ture of these suits, and If It Is Incon spicuous It Is advertised by the use of a decorative little handkerchief. Leather for travel suits Is sometimes used. Another designer makes suits of suede that are very smart and useful. There are long wraps for the Jour ney which are loose affairs with fur collars. These are very bold In ef fect, having wide ten-inch stripes of r" 1 ^ i r.. \ Travel Coat in Which Green and Gray Drapella Are Combined, Using Green for Pointed Sections on Cape Collar, Sleeves and Hip Band. contrasting colors, or are In plaids of many colors. The fur collar Is often times dyed to match the color of the stripe. Such coats are usually worn ever dresses. For wear with suits there are waist length capes similar to the coats Just \ described. Coats and capes of this sort are extremely practical for travel-1 Ing, as they do not crease easily. [ Jacquette Is Knitted in Odd Loose Stitch In tangerine and nickel gray, with solid gray collar, cuffs and bottom, this knitted Jacquette will appeal to many young women. Many Kinds of Gloves to Please All Tastes Fancy gauntlet gloves, very short, with flared cuffs elaborately embroid ered, or in double or triple tier effect, sum up the fashions In gloves. The white glace kid glove embroid ered In color or in black, with fancy gauntlet cuffs, Is the newest note, and is worn Irrespectively with long or short-sleeved gowns. Mastic suede gloves In two-tone ef fects, namely, stitched In a darker tone In tun or brown silk also are fash ionable. Two-tone and two-color com binations are very good; also black with a color, or white with a color. Multi-colored embroideries are used In novelty gloves sold by the high class specallty shops. There Is less demand for black glace ‘kid, although novelty gauntlets In glace kid embroid ered in colored silk and In metal are still represented. No gloves are worn with evening dresses. Utility Coat Likely to Be Fall Favorite Pile fabric coats featuring, for the most part, straight lines with fur col lars and cuffs, form a large group in the fall models. Another group con sists of models developed in another type of utility coatings suggestive fit, in the misses’ sizes, a school type of garment, and in the women’s, a prac tical coat for all-wear. Camel’s hair cloth, plaid fabrics and In a special group plaid-back cloth form the array of mediums used for these coats, which for the most part are marked by convertible collars of generous size, with large patch pock ets, such ns are Indispensable in the topcoat. Others are developed cn straight, semi-wrap lines. Fur collars finish many of these models, foxes appearing often in the assortments. Let in the Sun. In the old days, blinds and curtains were kept down in the home to exclude the sun for fear its rays would fade some precious carpet or rug. Now sun and air are welcomed gladly and peo ple live longer and better beenuse they know better.—Milwaukee Sentinel. More Elastic Being Used in Wearables More and more of women's clothes are being “made on elastics," and this simple arrangement Is a decided Im provement over old-fashtdhed, compli cated fastening. One never hears of any woman wanting to go back to using a multitude of pins, still there Is the question, "How do you manage the elastics In your camisoles and bloomers? Do they always go to pieces In the first washing?" A little care and thought expended m the purchase of this very necessnry little article In the first place would eliminate half of the future trouble. The characteristics of a good elastic, for which you are to look when shop ping, are a fine strong yam used In Its construction, and which insures you a neat, compact fabric; and a rub ber which Is sturdily elastic when stretched. The difference in the way elastics are made divides them Into two types, the woven and the braided. Wide elastics, and that used for arm bands, garters and hose supporters, are usually woven. To make this v.oven elastic, the warp threads of yarn, and of rubber are set up on the loom to gether, the rubber being stretched to equal the length of the yam threads. The yarns used In making elastic web bing may be cotton, mercerlxed cotton, artificial silk and silk. Good yarn has a lot to do with the wearing quality o* your elastic. The “filling" or weft threads are put In In such a way that they are held In place by being woven through the warp threads, and so as to cover completely and protect the rubber. In buying braided elastic, you can get either the flat or the tubular. The rubber threads run lengthwise In the flat elastic, and have the cotton cov ering running diagonally over and un der the elastic threads. In the round elastic the braid is tub ular, with a strand of rubber running through the center; you can also buy a combination of the flat and the round called "oval elastic." When it comes to comparing the woven and braided elastic there is one difference that should be pointed out. Woven elastic can onlv stretch a~ far as the length of the warp threads, while braided elastic stretches much farther. So you can readily see that the strain and wear on braided elastic would naturally be much greater. If you are buying the wider widths, then, you would expect more satisfactory service from the woven elastic. But when a smaller elastic Is wonted, the braided type Is especially good, as it gives a neater, more finished ap pearance. Experience has proved that heat, light and grease cause rubber to de teriorate very rapidly, and a note made of that fact may be a very ma terial factor in prolonging the life of your elastic. Poke-Bonnet Type. A veritable Victorian bonnet of pale green%sllk Is one of the sort of hats young girls are wearing today. It is of the poke-bonnet type, but much smaller and fits very closely to the head. Usually the trimming is of flowers and fruit combined. Ways to Revamp Your Left-Over Garments Ttiere are very tew women who are not wrestling with left-over garments Irom last season, which are, perhaps, now completely out of fashion. CTn lesB they are renovated and revamped they will probably become the posses sions of the laundress or the cook. s'or Instance, there Is that fringed cape of black silk crepe. If the fringe is cut off,’and a piece of matching ma terial Is attached by means of a tuck, It may still be worn as a cape, espe cially If 5’0U are fortunate enough to possess an old fur choker, which may bo utilized as a collar for It If you don't need a cape, an extremely pret ty shopping gown cnn be made from that black cape. One dress made from a cape has a long upper bodice made oi white silk crepe with large squares outlined .n black. A narrow strip of block monkey fur finished the Join ing of the skirt to the bodice and lolued the two materials. The bodice lias a square neck line and very short sleeves, also trimmed with monkey fur. TMa la worn with a small black anah room-shaped lint faced In white chif fon nnd ornamented with a white wa ter Illy on the front brim, with green lenves falling on the aide. Perhaps you have a lovely dress that Is too short for this season. It may be material that you hate to throw away. Try taking the best of the skirt and making side panels. It matters not if the panel Is pieced to give It length, as this can be done In some unnotlcenhle way. It Is very simple then to buy enough material for a. plain little underslip of the same shade. If a frock is faded, wash the new material and place It In the sun until It has lost Its brightness. New Scarf. A new scarf consists of a square of glove silk with a fluted border and has mitts to match. Evening Capes In Qay Color*.

Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1023, Wen tern Nowapuper Union ) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 2 PAUL, THE APOSTLE LESSON TEXT—Actl 22:3, 6-10; Phi IIpplniiK 3:4-14. GOLDEN TEXT—"I press toward the mark for th* prlz<- of the high Mlllflf of God In Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 3 14. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Romans 1:9-17; 15:15-21; II Cor. 11:1-12. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Paul Be came a Christian. JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul the Mlssion INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Puul the Dauntless. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul’s Contribution to Christianity. Paul’s name stands second to none In the annals of history. The story of his life Is of perennial Interest. I. His Birth, (v. 3 cf. Phil. 3:17). fie was born In Tarsus of pure He brew stock. He could with legitimate pride boast of godly ancestry. It is highly important that each generation should so live that no handicaps be placed upon their children. H. His Home Training. (3:5). Ills parents were pious people and carefully reared him according to Jew ish standards. Most religious leaders spring out of such homes; for example, Moses, Samuel, Timothy. Stern prin ciples of Integrity were Inculcated In him thus giving, him strength of char acter to Impress the world. He was strongly attached to the peculiarities of the Jewish religion. The heroes which molded his life were Joseph, Moses, David, Isaiah and such Instead of Achilles, Hercules, etc. What a blessing today If the boys and girls were brought up under such Influence. III. His Education. (Acts 2:3). 1— His I’utrlotlsm. He was brought up to love his nation. He proudly af firmed, “I am a Jew.” Paul was a nationalist of the true type. Children should bo taught to love their nation. 2— A Love for the Bible. The Scrip tures were to him the very Word of God. What was found written therein was the final word for Him. Loss of love for the Bible and Implicit faith therein is a tragedy. 3— Zealous for God. (Acts 22:3). The word zealous literally means “to boll.” Zeal without knowledge Is bet ter than no zeal at all. 4— Conscientious. His supreme aim was to possess a conscience void of offense. Conformity to the dictates of conscience Is demanded. It Is the law of life for every man that because of the blight of sin the conscience needs to be taught by God’s Word. 5— lie Had a Trade. Every Jewish boy, regardless of his father's wealth, was taught a trade. It was a saying among them that,. “He who failed to teach his son a trade, taught him to steal.” This would be a good plan in our modem days. IV. His Conversion. (Acts 22 :f>-10). 1— On the Way to Damascus, (v. 6). He was the enemy of Christ and was on his way to Damascus authorized to bring bound such Christians as might be found to Jerusalem to he punished. While on this journey he had time for reflection and conscience began to 2— A Light from Heaven, (vv. 6-0). As this light burned through the sky over him, he fell to the ground humil iated. Accompanying the light was a voice saying. “Saul, why persecutest 1 thou mo?” Upon inquiry as to who was speaking, the Lord declared that it was Jesus of Nazareth whom he was persecuting. 3— An Honest Inquiry, (v. 10). He was willing to do what the Lord willed, so he was instructed to go to Damascus where fuller light would he given. V. His Estimate of Christ. (Phil. 3:7-9). When he came to know Christ, he counted all but loss In comparison with Him. He saw Christ as the supplier of righteousneSvS. He who bus Christ and His righteousness lias everything worth while. VI. His Transcendent Aim. (Phil. 8:10-14). 1— His aim was to know the power of Christ’s resurrection, even that he might be made conformable to His death and have fellowship In His suf* ferings. 2— He desired to attain unto the resurrection of the dead. This refers to the tlrst resurrection In which the believers shall come forth from among the wicked dead. 3— He pressed toward the mark. Ho did not count that he had yet attained. He depreciated his present attain ments, perceived the dignity of his calling and pressed forward with all his strength In order that he might win the prize. The conditions which de termine growth are first, a decided dis satisfaction with present attainments; second, perception of the height of truth, and third, a resolute determina tion to attain ut whatever cost. The “Other Fellow." The (lay has passed when the concep tion of industry as chiefly a revenue producing process can he maintained. In the light of the present, every thoughtful man must concede that the purpose of Industry Is quite as much the advancement of social well-being as the accumulation of wealth. Along every line of life the “other fellow” has loomed above the horizon, and he has come to stay. No plans can be made, no problems settled without tak ing him into account. This question of Gain concerning his brother hus been so emphatically answered In these days that even the most selfish scarcely dare usk It aloud. Must Braes Ourselves. We must brace ourselves Individual ly and deliberately to the task of fac ing the Intellectual questions and see ing if we cannot reach decisions, at least provisional decisions such as can be the reasonable basis, when put to account in life, of practical certain ties.—Bishop Gore, Belief in God. Humanity. Humanity is Indeed a happy lot, when we can repeat ourselves In oth ers, and still be young as they.— Dickens. Evidence of Immortality. Our dissatisfaction with any other solution is the blazing evidence of im mortality .—Emerson. The Age Before Us. Our ancestors bare traveled the iron age; tbe golden age is before ue/—St Pierre. Are in Forefront In tailored garments preference for winter still is given to the three-piece costume, or to the costume with match ing blouse, says a fashion writer in the Kansas City Star, in a forecast of fall and winter fushicns. The suit as such has little or no representa tion for the coming season, but will undoubtedly again be brought forward for the spring. Jackets in three-piece costumes vary in lengtii from wrist to three-quarter and seven-eighth lengths. The wrist length Jackets nre shown In straight box or in belted styles. The knee length and longer Jackets are featured with ripple hem, usually achieved by On© of th© Newest Coat Dresses for Fall Wear. It Is Made of Wine Colored Broadcloth and Is One of the Early Importations. a circular flounce set on below the hips across the front only. The backs of all Jackets remain straight and flat. Jacket sleeves are long and ur© set In at the normal. Preference Is about equally divided between the sleeve finishing with a full ripple cuff, which flares over the hand, and the elbow high gauntlet cuff. In all cases, whether gauntlet or in full circular bell styles, cuffs are an Important detail. Fur and embroideries both are used extensively on all street costutnes. The dress for the three-piece cos tume, although Invariably in straight line effect, by a clever use of fabric and of color combinations, and of flouncings, basque effects and godet panels, in no way resembles the time worn favorite, the chemise gown. On the contrary, in appearance it fre quently is suggestive of the old-fash ioned 1880 separate bodice and skirt. It is. in fact, In the tailored dress that the fashions of the 1880 period are most distinctively featured, with line long and straight from the shoul der to knee, waistline eliminated, or indicated by a series ot short darts holding in the fullness at the sides, leaving the front and back plain and straight, and with flounce from the knee to the bottom. The bodices of dresses in this style are plain and flat, and the neck is finished in square, pointed or rounded line, with or with out a collar. In necKwear, eton collars and berthas in double and in triple-tier ef fects take precedence, followed by fichus and shawl collars. The bertha collar follows the 1830 off-the-shoulder line. The collar, which graduates from a narrow frill at the center of the front to a waist length or longer cape collar at the back, is one of the mosj, successful types, made in deep cream lace or embroidered net. Eton collars are made in linen, in pique or in fine cross-bar muslin or organdie, and are worn with matching gauntlet cuffs. Fine, hand-embroid ered white and ecru batiste collar and cuff sets are also worn, and it is un questionably a fact that the separate collar is again coming into fashion. Felt Sailor Is Newest. In millinery, medium-sized shapes are brought out in distinction to the very small or very large shapes which have been the rule for the spring and summer seasons. Cloche shapes are, shown In modified forms; but the new est note is the small, straight-brimmed, dome-crowned felt sailor. Pokes still hold their own. Felts hold popularity and are shown in turbans and in cloche shapes, In black and in colors. The veil as such is now rarely, one may say never, seen, but instead a lovely hat is featured with a veil of embroidered net or of lace, in small triangular, oblong or panel shape. The nose veil In lace, in plain square | mesh net, or In embroidered net, la the most successful type. I Scarf veils embroidered In multi colored effects In the pnlsley or cash mere designs ure offered among the ! novelties used by the leading milliners for trimmings and draping on the small, severe type of felt, cloche. Three-quarter length, fur trimmed, embroidered tube coats, absolutely straight from shoulder to lower edge, und full length straight coats with cir cular or gathered flounce of fur or fab ric at the bottom, stand out as the two distinct types for the advanced sea son. The full-length side bow tie coat, the seml-fltted coat with ripple at the sides, the blouse back coat, and the cape back coat all are represent ed ; but the dominating note of the advanced season in the separate coat line Is undoubtedly the three-quar ter or full-length straight-tube model, with or without flare at the bottom. The ull-over embroidered coat still holds good, and Is shown In new and effective embroidered patterns, and In soft, harmonious color schemes, among which the Persian or Paisley Idea, the Chinese Influence and the Moyen age tapestry designs of gro tesque birds and flowers are promi nent. Trimmed hems are a marked note and are featured notably In coats of the straight, unbelted type in which cords of fur alternating with cords of the fabric to form a soft padded hem are noteworthy forms. Coat 8leevea Long and Wide. All coat sleeves are long and are wide ut the hand. Cuffs are an im portant detail, und are featured In fur In wide circular flounces or In high gauntlet styles. Sleeves with the lower half made entirely of fur have great fullness through the elbow. Fur gnrmonts for the season are featured In three distinct styles; the short Jacket In Btralght-llne effect without flare, closing down the cen ter of the front; the three-qnarter length Jacket with low waist, straight line from shoulder to hip, and circular set on flounce, and the straight tube coat, guiltless of fastenings, and with out belt. Blnck furs tnko precedence for gar ments for the day, brown furs for trimmings of cloth suits, such as brown Persian lamb, beige-colored caracul, plucked seal, shaved lamb, and black, gray or brown hare. Long haired pelts are favored for neck pieces and for trimmings the short curly or flat pelts for coats. The season opens with metal fab rlcs and copper cloth, heavy metal luces In the Italian lace patterns, supple rnetnl fabrics In moire destgns —In fact, every kind of a metal mate rial, In plain or fancy weave, Is in dorsed. Heavy laces, Bohemian laces and novelty lace fabrics In Spanish lace design, namely, in the bold, flowing patterns, are conspicuous, and are un doubtedly to be counted upon as a prime favorite for the winter. Heavy Lace In Demand. Sheer laces In the Chantilly styles are represented, but the bigger de This Three-Piece Tallleur for Early Fall I® Mad® of Heavyweight French Flannel, the Skirt In Black, Upper Half of Tango. raand, notably In the novelties, Is for the heavy laces In the Italian sty1® Embroideries stand out as the one note In trimming, carried out In silk, and wool and metal mixtures, fre quently interspersed with colored porcelain beads. Metal embroideries on kid, and soutachlng, are continued. Plain four-holed composition bu tons aro used In self-tone as a trim on skirts of crepe dresses, tailored dresses and tailored skirts. While the tunic skirt of Russian suggestion is prominent In the fall showing of dresses, there Is also a distinctly Spanish influence to be noted In formal gowns that combine un abundance of lace and the ure of brilliant embroideries. Beauty Is Important in Choice of Silver The selection of sllverwnre for pres ent-day use, says the Milwaukee Sen tinel, should be made with especial care, even more so than when such ware was looked upon merely as “fam ily plate.” If it is to be the long time friend, the pattern chosen should be pleasing and with really artistic lines that will bring lasting satisfac tion as the years roll by. In purchasing the silverware you should consider that durability and wearing qualities are highly impor tant and only such makes as have the reputation for these qualities should be selected Out-at-elbows silverware is out of place as much as ragged draperies or patched garments. Since time immemorial silverware has been a favorite wedding gift and now, as in the years past, the bride rightfully expects to start her married life with at least a workable assort ment to make her table, sideboard or serving table attractive. Strange as it mag seem, it is only natural, when a wedding gift la to be Belected, that the first thought of many donors Is of spoons and knives and forks and of the larger pieces, such us tea sets, coffee sets, etc, which may be selected In some of the more populur patterns to match the spoons and forks, making possible a complete silver service In the same design. Vivid Ribbons for Sports Hats. Orange and green grosgraln ribbon rolled round a cylindrical foundation of cotton makes a unique and colorful trimming for sports hats. A large roll of the ribbon may be wound around the base of the crown and a smaller roll at the edge of the brim. Vivid colors are exceptionally good for sports wear this season.
