C. A. on the subject of "Clothing nnd Personality." She brought out the four points she said were necessary to anyone who wishes to be considered well- dressed. These four points arc: (1) Color. (2) Age.

(3) Silhouette. (4) Personality. She discussed the different types of coloring, In hair and complexion, and the color of garments that go well with these color- Ings. Mrs. Goodhue defined the styles of clothing that should be worn In accordance with tho different ages of girls nnd women, among which nre: sophisticated clothing; simple effects, elegance, nnd daring.

Under the topic, "Silhouette," she said that to achieve renl distinction in dress, lines of the clothing must follow lines of the body. This rule has dated from the ancient, Greeks. Personality, Mrs. Goodhue slated, has a great donl to do with the type and style of clothes that one wears. "For Instance," an athletic type of girl would look outlandish in too frilly and ruffled clothes.

Not only would she look outlandish, but she would nlso feel uneasy. On the contrary petite, demure type of person always looks well In frilled nnd ruffled costumes. Then there- is the dignified nnd the sophlst- icnte'l of people, who have their own mode of dressing. At (he conclusion of Mrs. Goodhue's talk there enthusiastic discussion among the girls as to advice, and further details the points Mrs.

Goodhue brought out. EMBURY GOODFELLOWSHIP CLASS TO HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET ON FEBRUARY 13 B.

24, due to the winning of he winter pair championship In hicago, by Mr. Lagron and his jartner, Arthur Glatt. The winning this tournament qualified this pair for the Mlaml-Blltmore finals icld in Miami last week, and In- an all-expense tour to and rom Forlda. In addition to his talk on bridge, stressing the defensive features of he game, Mr. Lagron will tell his ludience here, about some of the many Interesting, things that took 5lnce during the matches held in he Mlaml-Blltmore hotel.

COMMITTEE VOTES TO EXTEND THE JIAWES-CIJTTING BILL NINE MONTHS Washington, Jan. 1 senate territories and insular affairs committee voted today to give the Philippines "one more chance" to accept congressional Independence legislation with the warning It would be the last opportunity given the Islands for independence. Voting to extend the life of the Hawes-Cuttlng law by nine months to allow the Filipino people chance 1 to vote on it at the June elections, the committee again put the Issue of acceptance squarely up to the Islands and stated no other action would be taken in the present session of congress.

Chairman Tydlngs announced this extension of time "represents the committee's desire to give the Filipinos one more chance to accept or reject the Hawes-Cutting bill. If after the new elections to be held in June the legislature again falls to take action or acts adversely up6n the Hawes-Cutting law It will be notice to congress that the Filipino people do not desire independence, nnd do desire to continue with their present status." be one of a patriotic nature, in I be desired. AMERICAN LANGUAGE IN NEED OF EQUIVALENTS Some one sends a complaint to tho that there Is no shorter and more graphic word than "pedestrian" for the person who uses his legs In walking, says a writer In the Boston Transcript. "Walker" doesn't quite fill the bill; it seems to imply one who makes walking profession. A "hiker" Is one who goes off on holiday rambles.

an English term, Is supposed to apply to the Infantry branch of the army. Equally unsuitable "footman," "footer," "tramp" nnd "saunterer." We seem forced to fall back on "pedestrians" to describe the people who go their ways in the city streets and make up the mournful tallies nt weeks' end of those who have suffered in automobile accidents. So the language has forever lacked a word equivalent to "starve" for those are undone from thirst. We must always sny that one died of thirst, whereas it would bo simpler and more direct to say that one "thra.st" or wa.s "Ihlrstgotten." The Germans have "clurstleldcn" and perhaps "dursttodten." The French seem no better off than we are unless they vise "solfmort," which it is to be feared would never have the of the academic, Perhaps Uie Greeks have a word for it. But, so long as we have no way of calling a "pedestrian" something less sesquepedallan or explaining tliat a mrm perished of thirst in just one word, our language leaves much to which music and other details will conform with a nation-wide observ- unce In connection with Lincoln's birth.

FIRE NEAR IS CAUSE LOSS BARN AND CONTENTS DBS- TROYED; 47 HEAD OF CATTLE PERISH IN FLAMES ALL EDIBLE EGGS ARE NOT PRODUCED BY OLD BIDDY Ask for eggs in store, nnd it Is taken for granted you mean hens' eggs.

Guillamots' eggs are also good. Thousands nre collected on the Farralone islands, off San Francisco, nnd sold in that city, while the eggs of penguins and gulls from Dnssen island nre retailed in the shops of Cape Towan. Mast kinds of turtle supply good eggs. The only trouble is that they won't boll hard, but for making omelets they are excellent. Even alligator eggs are quite eatable when fresh, though apt to be musky.

In Brazil the eggs of tho iguana, a large lizard, nre considered a dainty. They nre the size of bantams' eggs nnci have a leathery shell. We all eat fish eggs. A herring is nothing unless It has a good roe, while the eggs of the Russinn sturgeon form that well-known delicacy caviare. Tho rare red caviare is made of the eggs or spawn of the omul, a fish of the sturgeon family.

John B. Wolfe, National Research council fellow, discovered the financial aptitude of chimpanzees when he carried on a number of experiments with these animals in the laboratories of comparative psychobiology at Ytte, under the direction of Dr. Robert M. Yerkes. Doctor Wolf gave the chimpanzees poker chips of various sizes in lieu of money to be used in food- vending slot machines.

The animals learned to reach for the food at the I openings before they could be persuaded to deposit the coins necessary to get results. But it wasn't long before they "got on" to part of the performance, and they even learned to distinguish which of coin would purcha.se the confections they liked best. They also learned to hoard some of their coins for future use instead of spending them all at once, WOULD PREVENT CLOSURES UNTIL JULY OR DECEMBER, 193S Springfield, 111., Jan.
