■ ————— I WOMEN ADOPT SUIT-FROCK; 11 | FAVOR LUXURIANT FURS I liliiiiwiiiiiiiii Minimi THE sleeveless slip-over dress, which made its entry last sum mer and leaped into such uni versal favor, gave manufacturers of dresses a useful cue. It served to show them that women are welcoming substitutes for the blouse and skirt! 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 servant and imaginative creator of women’s clothes introduced at the right moment the suit-frock. In this new type of costume the practical i Practical Suit-frock. woman finds a suit and a dress com bined, costing no more than a suit, 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 dress with something more fanci ful —the under-bodice is varied to suit occasion. Whatever the degree of dressiness the blouse may impart, on the street the suit-frock presents the appearance of a tailored suit and meets - ■■ . ■ eO<* rT| J Luxuriant Furs. 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 , vets or woolen in dark shades, and [ brightened with touches of bright col or; they are long-sleeved and Invite ■ 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. comae ht rr vow* nnoom union THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR. MT, VERNON. GEORGIA. p— : - -'■■'==Q Stories of Great Scouts By ELMO SCOTT WATSON 0... -- =o (©. 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 " S »• *'• v A MS**- - -.v '1 v."; - •••*', . AT.' y** .. . >:v.. . v.- • • . ' . • • x>. » ’ An Improved Highway In California. 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.
