These had been made by Mrs. James Pagodas, who now operates the Vogue Shop, and represented her first business venture.

While Mrs. Pagedas in the spring of 1918 was waiting on fixtures to be used in a ready-to-wear shop, she took orders for party dresses, hired a fitter, and made a dozen gowns worn at the dance. The dresses, which sold at from $22.50 to $35, attracted a lot of attention and Mrs. Pagedas' 'business wns away to a booming beginning. Within two businesses in Emporia and during the lean years, Mrs.

Pagedas was approached by managers of larger stores asking her to close her shop and carry their ready-to-wear departments through. She refused, gritted her teeth and hung on. By doing all of the buying for the shop, all of the book work and "taking the place of two clerks on the floor," she outlasted the recessions and subsequently developed her retail project into a prosperous business. In the past few years Mrs. Page- das has several times vowed that she going to retire but she en- Joys meeting the public and admits that she does not know how to quit working.

Dutch "Retaliate" In Indonesian War BatavU, Java, Aug. 19 Netherlands Army announced today hat "drastic retaliatory measures" lad been taken against Indonesian orces, whicfi, it tried to ush forward near Salntiga, about 0 miles north of the Republican npitnl of Jogjakarta.

Severe losses were inflicted upon he attacking Indonesians, who fled eaving dead and wounded behind hem, the Dutch declared. The Dutch themselves acknow- edged casualties of seven killed and 17 wounded in operations Monday. An official Dutch spokesman said Monday that a group of Netherlands East Indies officials had recommended privately to the Hagu government that the Dutch occupy Jogpakarta in order to ease an "Intolerable situation" caused by non-observance of the United Nations cease fire order.

He described the men as being one rather large and two small.

They "were in a car bearing a Texas license plate, he told Sheriff Walter Dlxon. Although twice held up by three men young Krehbiel gave no description other than that one was large and two small. Krehbiel reported the hold-ups of July 30 and August 3 only after an uncle of his girl friend, Helen Schwartz, had visited the sheriff's office to tell what Krehbiel had revealed to him after the second robbery. Fontron and Dixon think one possibility is that Krehbiel was the victim of a shake-down and feared to expose the men, who may have shot him to death. Thus far they have no tangible clue to supporl this theory, however.

Sheriff Dixon pointed out that it is queer BIRS. J. W. NORTHINGTON looks up from her copy of The Gazette to rreet a friend at her 90th birthday anniversary open house, Sunrtay. Her covered-wagon trip from Mountain City, Ten to Emporisi 1881 was one of the experiences Vtrs.
