combination, which, however good and
dependable, does grow tiresome. The
one-piece frock, to be worn with a
separate coat or a fur piece, became
the rival of the tailored suit several
seasons ago, and recently some ob

women’s clothes introduced at the

and making It possible for her to be
appropriately dressed either for the
street or business or other ordinary
occasions.
In the illustration above, one of
these practical suit frocks is shown
made of taupe-colored duvetyn, and
worn over a tailored under-bodice. It
is this under-bodice which makes it
possible to retain that flavor of crisp
freshness which has always been the
glory of the shirtwaist, or to tone up

the requirements of those 1 women who j
like to be simply and quietly dressed
when they go about on everyday oc
cupations.
Another costume which Just now
suits the woman of affairs is made
up of a pretty one-piece frock which
has always with it on the street a
short coat of fur or fur and fabric. |
These frocks are made of crepes, vel

the companionship of dainty acces
sories in collars, vestees, chemisettes
and undersleeves.
It Is said that women are willing
to practice even a severe economy in
the matter of frocks, and other things,
if by this means they may in
dulge a luxuriant taste for furs; and
this Isn’t by any means, poor policy
on their part. A wise choice In fur
pieces lasts for years (with the right
! kind of care) and is not subject to the
! sudden whims of fashion and can be
repeatedly remodeled. But a wise
choice includes the selection of what
are known as “hard” furs —that is
those in which the hairs are strong—
made up into pieces that are conserva
tive In style, as straight scarfs, capes
and uncut pelts. There are degrees
of “hardness” and “softness.” There
are soft furs that are expensive be
cause of their rarity, and hard furs
that are reasonable because of their
plentlfutness.
Os all fur garments neckpieces are
the most popular and the most useful,
followed by cape-scarfs, capes and
coats. These styles are much varied:
neckpieces range all the way from
small chokers to long, wide scarfs,
with uncut fox pelts In high favor.
There Is a very great range of prices
In fox pelts, those in unusual colors
selling at a premium. The silver
tipped black fox stands at the apex
In price, but nothing is handsomer than
the dark brown, dyed fox skins that
are fairly low, as fur prices go.
The handsome and enveloping cape
coat pictured, of moleskin with squir
rel collar and trimming >at the arm
] openings, is the type of long garmeii.
' just now most fashionable. It is made
up In other short-haired furs —as mink,
! kolinsky, Hudson seal, squirrel, as well
as mole —the last being, of all, the least
durable. Nearly all long fur garments
i employ contrasting furs for collars
and cuffs. This season’s cape-scarfs
i are well represented in the kolinsky
model pictured. Many of these capes
; are lengthened at the front, and all
of them designed for a graceful and
casual adjustment to the figure.

Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

(©. 1921. Western Newspaper Union.)
CAPT. JACK CRAWFORD, THE
SCOUT WHO WROTE POETRY
When a bit of sunshine hits ye
After passin’ of a cloud.
When a fit of laughter gits ye
An' yer spjne is feeiin' proud.
Don't fergit to up and lllng it
At a soul that's feeiin' blue,
Fer the minit that ye sling it
It's a boomerang to you.
That was the philosophy of Oapt.
Jack Crawford, the poet-scout. A poet
and a scout! A strange combination,
but he excelled as both. John Wallace
Crawford was an Irish boy who came
to this country shortly before the Civil
war began and enlisted In the Union
army when he was only sixteen years
old. While lying In a hospital, a sister
of mercy taught him to read and write.
After the war Crawford drifted
West and became a miner In the Black
Hills of South Dakota. When the
Black Hills rangers were organized
to protect the miners from hostile
Sioux and hands of highway robbers.
Jack was chosen chief. In one fight
he killed three desperadoes.
At the outbreak of the Sioux war In
1876 Captain Jack enlisted as a scout
and rose to the position of chief of
scouts for the Fifth cavalry. After
the battle of Slim Buttes, S. D., where
Chief American Horse was killed,
Captain Jack, who was also corre
spondent for the New York Herald,
gave the world the first story of this
fight. Crawford rode to Fort Laramie,
350 miles away, in three days and a
half, outriding five relays of couriers,
but he killed two horses doing it.
During the Apache wars in Arizona
Crawford was again in the saddle as
a scout for Gen. Edward Hatch. In
1881 he took the trail of the notorious
oMfsf, VJetorlo, and after a scout of
16 days, located bis cuoifi !fi '!>“ r = ln '
deleria mountains in Mexico. Captain
Jack then made another remarkable
ride to the nearest post. As a result
of Ills news, Victorio’s camp was at
tacked by Mexican troops and the old
chief and many of his warriors were
killed.
When the Indian wars were over.
Captain Jack began writing down
the verses which he had recited to liis
comrades around many a campfire on
the Indian campaigns. He went on
the lecture platform and In a short
time the “Poet-Scout” was one of the
best-known of the old-time scouts in
the country, second only to his old
comrade of the Fifth cavalry, Buffalo
Bill. In a little over a month after
Buffalo Bill’s death, Captain Jack fol
lowed him on the Long Trail. lie died
In New York February 28, 1917.
EDGAR S. PAXSON, THE SCOUT
WHO WAS A PAINTER
Col. Edgar S. I’axson was a scout
who became a painter. He worked
for 20 years on one unfitting before
it was completed, ana when the old
scout’s masterpiece was done, it was
declared to be the most accurate pic
ture of Custer’s last battle ever
painted. It made Paxson famous.
Paxson was a New Yorker who
went to Montana in the early seven
ties. He became a eowpuncher, a
hunter and trapper. When Chief Jo
seph led his Nez Perce warriors on
their 1,000-mlle dasli for freedom In
1877, Paxson enlisted as a scout with
the United States troops and served
with them until Chief Joseph was cor
nered in the Bear Paw mountains and
surrendered to General Miles.
After the Nez Perce war was over,
Paxson returned to Deer Lodge,
Mont., and opened a studio. He had
always wanted to paint pictures and
he took for his subjects the things
he knew best cowboys, Indians,
hunters and trappers. Then he con
ceived the idea of a painting of the
greatest Indian battle in American
history—Custer’s last fight with the
Sioux and Cheyennes on the Little
Big Horn.
For years Paxson gathered Infor
mation about the battle. He went over
the battlefield again and ugain until
he was familiar with every foot of it;
he talked with Indians who hud fought
against Custer, and he sought officers
and men who bad served with Reno
and Benteen to get their stories of
the fight. lie learned everything ho
could of the position of every man In
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day In June 1876.
Paxson was engaged seven years
In the actual painting of the picture.
His work was interrupted during this
time by his service in Cuba during
the Spanish-American war and In the
Philippines. After the war was over
lie returned to Ids work and the pic
ture was completed.
In this painting Paxson showed the
figures of more than 200 soldiers, In
dians and scouts. It contained the
portraits of 36 members of Custer’s
command painted from photographs.
Every detail of the battle was shown
historically accurate, so far as It Is
possible to know how Custer and his
men perished. The painting has been
on exhibition in the largest cities of
the United States and It now hangs
In the library of the Montana State
university at Missoula. It Is valued
at $25,000.
In 1878 Paxson laid down tin
scout's rifle to take up the painter's
brush. Forty-one years later' he laid
down the brush. Colonel Paxson died
in Missoula, November 9. 1919.

ROAD*
BUILDING
DEVICE FCR TREATING SAND
Engineers of California Bureau o'
Public Roads Use Blower to
Obtain Material.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
A new method of treating a local
sand to make It conform to the speci
fications for u concrete road has been
adopted by the engineers of the bu
reau of public works in charge
of California federal-aid project
No. 41. Near the south end of
the project no local sand could
be found which would conform to the
requirements of the specifications ap
proved by the bureau of roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. These prescribed thnt the sand
should contain no more than 5 per
cent of material which would pass
a 100-mesh sieve. The local sand ana
lyzed about 15 to ‘JO per cent, which
was entirely too high to permit its
use.
Instead of falling back upon the im
portation of suitable sand from an
other locality, the engineers devised
a plant for blowing the fine particles
from the sand. This district is ex
tremely arid, and in summer the tem
perature sometimes mounts to 120 de
grees in the shade,' so that the sand Is
very dry when worked. The device
used consists of an ordinary conveyor,
which lifts the sand to a revolving
screen. Material which will puss a
one-fourth-inch mesh is discharged
Into a hopper under the screen and
then through a narrow opening into
a storage tiin below. In falling from
the hopper to the bin, the sheet of
sand passes directly In front of a
nozzle, which directs against it a cur
rent of air from a centrifugal air
blower. By means of a pressure reg

ulator at the blower, the velocity of
the nlr at the nozzle can be so con
trolled as to blow from the falling
sand any desired percentage of the
finer material.
The blower is operated by a belt
from the same gas engine which op
erates the conveyor and revolving
screen. The whole device is compact
and inexpensive. The result is a sat
isfactory sand obtained at less cost
than by any other method. The suc
cess of the plan depends, of course,
on their dryness of the sand. If It were
necessary to dry It, the Increased cost
of treatment might make the Impor
tation of suitable muterlal prefera
ble.
TOURIST TRAFFIC PAYS BIG
Increase of Americana Into Canada
Expected to Pay for Ontario’s
Highway System.
It Is anticipated that American
tourist traffic will pay for the Installa
tion and upkeep of Ontario’s highways
system. This traffic has Increased re
markably since the Toronto-1 lamllton
highway was built., and already annual
revenue from this source runs into
millions of dollars. During 1020 ap
proximately 57,.500 American motor
cars crossed 'lie border into Ontario,
remaining from one hour to six
moptlis.
