CHILDREN
CRY FOR IT—
/"CHILDREN hate to take medicine
^■“'as a rule, but every child loves the
taste of Castoria. This pure vegetable
preparation is just as good as it tastes;
just as bland and just as harmless as the
recipe reads.
When Baby’s cry warns of colic, a
few drops of Castoria have him soothed,
asleep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more
valuable in diarrhea. When coated
tongue or bad breath tell of constipation,
invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and
regulate a child’s bowels. In colds or
children’s diseases, you should use it
to keep the system from clogging.
Castoria is sold in every drug store;
the genuine always bears Chas. H.
Fletcher’s signature.

LOOKS A
BY *5BSERVER
Here it is, the new bolero scarf
that has just come to town in com
pany of a rakish little hat of the
same color and material. The bo
lero scarf is very, very new, but
when you come to look at it closely
you may recognize it as nothing
more nor less than a smart, up-to-
date version of knitted scarf with
tubular ends that nice old ladies
used to knit and wear under their
coats to keep their backs and arms
warm.
Perhaps you don’t remember
them. The trick was to *nit a
straight scarf wide enough to cov
er the small of the back and long
enough to reach from wrist to
wrist when the arms were extend
ed. Then each end was folded over
and sewed up ten or twelve inches,
so that when the scarf was placed
across the back the wrists and arms
might be slipped through the tub
ular ends.
These new scarfs are made some
what wider at the back and the
sleeve extensions are made with
deep cuffs that fit snugly from
wrist to elbow while the full width
of the scarf gives the effect of full
ness through the sleeves.
j The measurements of the dia
gram are these: XZ, 43 inches; XY,
20 inches; 1-2, 12 inches; 1-3, 10
inches.
The small piece is the cuff, and
two pieces like it should be made.
The large piece is gathered from
X to Y to fit into one ten-inch side
of the cuff. Then the cuffs are
seamed up along 1-2 and the oppo
site side. This should be made of
some elastic fabric, like wool jer
sey—or knitted, the cuffs in ribs,
made by purling one, knitting one.

Auto Shows Start—
All automobile shows take their
tempo from the New York show, j
which was held early this year, as.
usual. After leaving Manhattan
the exhibitors moved across the (
East River to Brooklyn and from 1
there drifted out west, hitting
many of the larger cities.
The show this year, which was
avoided to quite an extent by deal-\ j
ers but thronged by the individual
car owners, brought to light one;
interesting thing. Practically no-",
body this year is buying a car with
the idea in mind of “keeping uj»
with the Joneses.”
The cars with the cutest gadgets
and appearing to render the best
value for the least money were
having the best sales.
Novelties—
This year’s auto- show had a lot.
of mvclties. One of the neatest was
a piece of what looked like oily
rubber. You rubbed the wind
shield. with it and rain failed to
stick where it had been applied.
It appeared to be fine protection
for drivers in a heavy rain.
Another device kept the head
light turning so it lit up the road
exactly where the car was then
headed, a thing that appears to be
a boon to all night drivers op coun
try roads. There were lots of other
things that could not be grasped
in a quick parade past the mile or
so of booths.
An Ancient Car—
One of the cars on exhibit was
the Holsman. This is not an adver
tisement for that particular car, al
though it was listed at $800. The
car was built in 1902 and was an
old-fashioned buggy with a two-
cylinder engine. It did from ten
to fifteen miles an hour but was
“(jangerous at higher speeds.”
Nearby was a model of the
first automobile in all history. It
was a steam-driven car, built in
France in 1770, and made from six
to twelve miles an hour. It was
primarily designed for the removal
of heavy artillery and not for com
mercial or pleasure use.
One bad thing about the old car
was that it could run for only fif
teen minutes. Then it had to be
stopped and steaiii pressure built
up again.
An Instructive Exhibit—
Fqw drivers actually know what
happens when they press certain
pedals or move levers, nor how the
clutch works ami other things real
ly valuable 'to know. One of the
most interesting exhibits at the
auto show was a miniature model
showing some ten operations on a
car.
One could examine closely and
see how all the main parts of the
chassis operate. It was one of the
best and most illuminating exhib
its at the whole show and held
more people than almost any other
exhibit.
A Thrilling Demonstration—
One of the leading makers was
| playing up the shatterproof glass
and giving a continuous demon
stration of the difference between
| ordinary glass and the new kind.
The exhibitor took an ordinary
pane of glass, warned the specta
tors to shield their eyes, and then
crashed it into a thousand pieces
with a hammer.
Then he had a pretty girl sit
down and he held a piece of the
shatter-proof glass over her head
and hit it with a hammer. The y
crowd never seemed to tire of ex-/
hibition. /
As the glass is available on' all
cars it looked to us as though he
was doing a service for the entire
industry by his exhibition .
