There are many self-appointed "ways and ireana committees" on how to keep cool composed generally of "old settlers," "weather sharks" and the "wise guys" who wear the same clothes all the year around. There are many ways to keep cool the funny lobster, who tells Wilson how to sink ALL the submarines will probably recommend sitting on a cake of ice he should be forced to try it, say for an hour or so. People in the clothing business, ourselves included, have as many "how to keep cool" receipes as a stray dog has fleas, and worth about as much as the flees. Merchants' advice is generally controlled by their stock and it's honest and good, according to their ideas but for weather, where the mercury hangs around the 100 mark our best advice is Get into a Palm Beach suit and stop fretting about the heat you can engender heat by worrying. A ROSENWALD WEIL tailored PALM BEACH properly styled, cool, porous and feather light, is about the best way to make these HOT DAYS bearable.

They are here in gray, tan, stripes, checks, natural, etc. There is JUST ONE grade of PALM. BEACH, the difference in price is in the tailoring. Lightweight UNDERWEAR helps solve the heat problem we have it. accompanied by Mrs.

In the absence of president J. Gregg Hill, Will L. presided. The report of W. C.

Russell, humane officer, showed a very busy month in June, his activities having to do with the relief of women and girls as well as the well being of dumb animals. Mrs. Robert Brydson, for the missionary committee, gave an interesting report telling of house to house work in the interest of those in distress. She emphasized the need of an employment bureau. Touching the day nursery being conducted by an organization of young women, some one instanced the case of a family whose five children have been accepted for daily care at the nursery, it being necessary for the mother to work out.

The husband has gone to San Antonio to get work, but his first pay day has not come round. Miss Julia Pease reported on the movement for a city censorship, and regret was expressed that the Council had not seen fit to Create the office of secretary. Mrs. George Walling told of the work being carried on in behalf of a home for neglected and dependent children, and said that when Mayor Wooldridge returns the City Council will almost certainly vote, to extend assistance. The county will do likewise.

Charities Wants Tuberculosis Camp The directors of the I'nited Charities, at its meeting Wednesday, decided to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce in the effort to induce the city and county to provide a number of inexpensive houses for a tuberculosis camp just outside the city. It is understood that other organizations, including the Daughters of Isabella, have manifested an interest in this matter. It wa sdeei-led also to endeavor to educate the people against the folly of indiscriminate giving. The monthly report of the secretary showed disbursements of JlSii, leaving $55 on hand June 30. Disbursements included supplies, beds, mattreses, garden tools and stove valued at $12.72: grocery orders for fifteen, eight orders of clothinsi $6.75, and transportation for six, $25.55, Allison Mayfield Recovers Health Allison Mayfield, chairman of the Railroad who has been ill for some time at his former home at Sherman, has fully recovered his health and returned to Austin to resume the discharge of his official duties.

(Nick) Brockman, tax assessor of Mason County, is among those in attendance at the convention of county officials now in session here. He Is THINGS THAT By GENE REALIZE "THAT THESE HOORS AEE THE HrPPtEST I FP I i-r ti QtyBiw aaassaiBMaViBHsMMMBssasssssssssssasaa Lu' Ti Ml 1 The weekly meeting of the City Council Thursday morning, in the absence of Mayor Wooldridge. and also Councilman Anthony, was brief and to the point. Councilman Anthony announced that In accordance with an understanding had with the Mayor before bis departure for Eureka Springs, he and Mr. Bartholomew, conferred with Guy A.

Collett, receiver of the dam, on Mr. Collett's return from El Paso, relative to the time when Daniel W. Mead, the engineer, should be asked to come to Austin for his examination of the dam. It was decided that Mr. Mead should be asked to come at the earliest possible time, and Mr.

Collett wrote him accordingly. Mr. Mead had said that he could come any tune after July 15. one reason why the present was deemed the best time for the examination was that the lake is nearly empty and can be en ircly emptied in a few-hours in case this is nccewsarv in order to examine the foundations of the dam. Just what bond issues will be submitted to the voters was not determined before the Mayor's departure, and although the matter was discussed at today's Council meeting, action will probably be deferred until Mr.

Wooldridge returns. It seems likely that the following Items will be submitted; For sewage disposal plant and extensions of sewer system, for automatic fire alarm system, to take up indebtedness of public schools, for permanent street work, $25,000. Mr. Haynes said, however, that he would oppose the submission of any except the first named item. Other Council members doubt the wisdom of submitting all four at this time.

C. L. Woodward, fire chief, told the Council that he believes there are great possibilities of harm in the conveying of gasoline over the city in auto trucks. He thought the practice, now followed by only one of the oil companies, should be forbidden before it becomes common. He read a news dispatch from Elgin telling of an explosion which evidently caught from the exhause of the engine.

The tank was thrown 150 feet in the air, the dispatch said. "What if an explosion of that kind should happen on Congress Avenue?" the chief asked. He reminded the Councllmen that automobile explosions occur rather frequently in this way, though they are not usuall" serious owing to the small quantity of gasoline on board. The Council will inquire Into the matter more fully before acting. L.

Campbell, moderator of the St. John Baptist Association, which meets north of town beginning July 17, asked the Council for special rates on water and for help In sprinkling the road from the car line to the encampment. He was promised that the city would render every assistance that it properly could. Resolutions were passed making certain transfers of funds within the street department. A letter from Mrs.

G. F. Cox. 2115 East First Street, was read complaining of an insanitary pond at First and Canadian Streets, and asking for further time in which to make connections with the sewer system. Her time was extended to Jan.

1. Permits to install Bowser gasoline tanks were granted to the Oscar Kunz Store, First Street and East Avenue, and the Deep Eddy Grocery, on the Dam Boulevard.

Hart at the Airdome Tonight William S. Hart, who will appear at the Bell Airdome tonight, did not find it necessary to take lessons from genuine Indians recently when he was rust to iilnv the Dart of a ouarter- breed Cree in "'The Dawn Maker," the Triangle-Kay Bee play by C.

Gardner Sullivan. Stored away in the inner recesses of his memory was enough Indian iore to enable him to interpret the role without When he was an infant Hart was taken by his parents to the plains of North Dakota, where until he was 16 years of age he mingled with the redskins who inhabited that region. During this association he absorbed the habits and customs of the aborigines with such accuracy that he can talk intelligently and at great length on any topic relating to the Indian race. With th's fundamental knowledge at his command Hart was equipped to undertake a performance of the role of Joe Elk without having to resort ti instructions that readily would have been volunteered him by the Indians at Inceville. His every action in the piece, it is said, is in strict accord with the ustoms of the Cree tribe.

In one scene Hart is shown seated at the dinner table In a modern Montreal home. So true to tribal behavior are his actions and poise that Joe Good boy, the real Indian chief who appears in the production, marveled at the faithfulness of the scene when ho saw it on the screen.

In the parade, which marched down Congress Avenue from the Capitol, were the 200 students in the University aviation school, about a hundred University girls, a number of club women, and the Boy Scouts under L. J. Bailey, all led by Besserer's band playing patriotic airs.

A stand surrounded by chairs bad been provided In front of the Sear-brough store, and here the crowd was addressed by Lieutenant Horace Shel-ton, Acting Mayor P. W. Powell, County Judge D. J. Pickle, John L.

Peeler, and George H. Carter of Marlin, secretary of the military committee of the State Council of Defense, Mr. Carter told his hearers that from what he knew of the workings of the conscription act, not many eligible men are going to be left at home. He therefore advised nil men eligible for the national guard to volunteer at once. Judge Pickle told the audience that he would not ask any young man to do what he was unwilling for hfcs own son to do.

His son, he said, is now in the naval academy and expects to be called into active service soon. The stirring addresses of the several speakers were liberally applauded. Marital music was provided by the band. A plan by which women of the city would be on the streets Thursday to ask young men to enlist was considered, but when the preliminary meeting was held at the Red Cross head-c iarters Thursday morning it was de-Zed not to follow the tactics sug-sted. Up to 11 o'clock Thursday morning, the effects of the meeting had not been greatly felt at the National Guard recruiting Station, over 600 Congress Avenue.

One man had applied but had rot passed the psysica! examination. Captain Wallis J. Moore, In charge of the recruiting office, has, however, sent ten young men away in the last few days. Eight came in a body from the Bull Creek country. The captain is going out tonight to address others at a school house and answer the questions which every man desires to have answered before enlisting.

McLean, Walter C. Smith, James J. Pinget, John T. LaCook, Charles F. Warwick and Daniel S.

Valeska Suratt the Queen Today It would be very hard to say Just which is the best picture Valeska Sur-rat, the famous Broadway star, has been featured in, but one could not go wrong in saying that "The Siren" now playing nt the Queen could take first place. The plot is not only a powerful one, but is filled with Just a little of everything that goes to make up a real photoplay masterpiece. There is comedy and pathos and there are thrills and vampire stuff galore. Today this great picture will close its run at the Queen, so those who wish to see it had better visit the movie palace before it is too late.
