Jefferson School Has Fashion Show Home Economics Girls Model Dress es And llats They Made Themselves. < Special to The Star.'i Monday ot last v, eek wo entered the Jeffersor Street school audi torium, everyone was surprised to see the stage so beautifully deoorat-! ed, and wondered what event had Caused this 1 ransformation. Finally the music started, and against the background of ferns and by the soft glow of shaded lamps, we saw a beautifully dressed, living model step forward. What did that mean? We soon learned that the home economics girls were having a fash ion show. Receding the modeling of the dresses that the girls had made themselves, Evelyn Short gave m sketch on "How Costumes Change With the Ages.” and Edith Blanton read an interesting paper on “How We May Use Furs to the Advantage of Our Costumes.” After this the girls modeled their wool sport dresses. They had also made chil dren's garments, and they were modeled by some or the charming little misses and vivacious little masters of the town. The girls wore becoming hats with shoes, hose, bags, and gloves In the same color or In contrasting col ors. This completed the effect of their costumes. Since the high school girls have seen what a splendid work Is be ing done In the home economics ejaaa. we feel sure they will want to take it before finishing their high school courses. A good many of the mothers were present and we were glad to see .so many of the people of Shelby tak ing such an interest In the school activities. We hope more of them will find It convenient to visit our schools. Parent-Teacher* Of Jefferson Meet The Jefferson School P . T. A met Monday evening at 7:30.

JINX FOLLOWING COOLIDGE ‘PETS' Although Calvin and Mrs. Cool Idgc were so fond of pets that they felt they never could be without one or more, misfortune followed many of them.

The first Coolidge pet was Bound er, a sprightly Vermont cat, which enjoyed playing in the water and shooting the chuter down the bock stairs in a clothes basket. He dieu of fright from Fourth of July fire works. Two cats succeeded Bounder One pined away and died when Coolidge left to serve” in the gen eral court of Massachusetts and tne other died from i. be ess of the car after Coolidge had personally per formed an operation upon it. After the Coolidge children were born, a police puppy, came to the home. Its death from distemper was one of the earliest griefs of Calvin, junior. The family then turned to birds, keeping four canaries, • thrush, a troupia’, a yellow bird and a nightingale. It had to be aban doned when Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge went to Washington, since It is un lawful to keep a nightingale in the District of Columeia. Two kittens were among the first pets at the White House. One was a wanderer and was finally I os’, permanently after marines had found him time alter time. The other, an inveterate hunter, had to be imprisoned during the nesting season of birds on the White House grounds. Peter Pan was the first White House dog.

Beans, a Boston bull terrier, started a feud with Rob Roy which caused his banishment. A MILLION CRIMINALS, CHICAGO HAS LESS ) Chicago.—August Vollmer, presi dent of the National Association of Police Chiefs, estimates there are 1,000,000 criminals in the country, and that Chicago nas less than its share of them. The former Berkley police chief, who now is head of the police research department of the University of Chicago, gave those figures in an address at the Chicago Press club. "There are 100,000 legal regula tions and 100,000 legal inhibitions affecting every citizen,” Vollmer said. Probably one person out of every ten has violated one or more of these, laws at some time or other, Prof. Vollmer believes. He held the failure of lawmakers to keep abreast of changing condi tions responsible for crime condi tfcKIS. He said the police forces should be made up of Intelligent men. About 50 per cent of the present police forces. In his opinion, have no business being policemen. “If insurance figures are any criterion," he added, “Chicago has considerably less crime than other big cities.” Star Advertising Pays Big Living Room Special FOR CHRISTMAS.$62.50 AND UP Smokers, Lamps, Console Tables and Mirrors, Odd Chairs, Bed Spreads, Telephone Sets, Foot Stools — Most anything you are looking for in the Furniture Line.
