Eight "go-getters" paid S2 apiece for their efforts In traffic court here Thursday while each of 188 "stay-at-homes" apparently saved that much by keeping away. Recently Judge John A. Maher ruled that the $3 towing charge which police required before releasing automobiles impounded because of traffic law violations was illegal.

He set Thursday as the final day on which persons who had paid the charge under protest could recover. Eight appeared in court and after recovering their $3 payments were fined $5 apiece by Judge Maher for violatirfg traffic ordinances. Thus, it appears, the 188 others saved J2 apiece by keeping away.

For scouting over the vast expanses of the sea no instrument man has yet devised is equal to the dirigible. "Gradually the handling of planes from within the Zeppelins has been developed.

The Chicago metropolitan area on the basis of census returns thus far gathered in Cook and its five neighbor counties, has gained 60 per cent in population In the last decade. DuPage county, to the west, has set the pace for the group with a percentage gain of 137.97 in the towns and townships already tabulated.

Cook county, Chicago's own home, has more than doubled its country town population In the incomplete returns, which show a gain fcf 115.44 per cent. This is exclusive of the city itself, where comparison of the unfinished census is impossible because of the remapping of Chicago wards since the 1920 census. A compilation of the 29 wards totalled to date shows a population of 1,879,489 residents, with 21 wards yet to be tallied. The Cook county towns thus far tabulated total 164,431 against 76,322 in 1920. The total in the six counties to date stands at 568.937 against 354.

Men's Fashions BY A. T. (iAM.KO. When the days take on the character we refer to sometimes as the dog days, men don't like the idea of gloves, for which you can't blame rnpm' Ior lnPV 00n 1 mnKe ou cooler. And so in extremely hot weather fashion must he lenient, and permit even the well dressed man to leave his gloves at home, unless he is in formal clothes, either of the day or evening variety.

But only hot weather Is an excuse for this neglect of one of the finer sartorial points. A reader who says he has very dark black hair, and a fair complexion wishes to know what shade of brown in a suit would become him. I think that a rather light shade of a rich warm brown would emphasize the fairness of the complexion. The light brown, of course, brings out the darkness of the hair, and so it doesn't make a great, deal of difference. This type should look well in any shade of brown as a matter of fact.

Color scheme for suit of dark green: shirt of light brown, collar to match, tie of light green figured 'with tan and brown, light brown snap brim hat. and handkerchief of light brown with darker brown edge.
