Simple Dress for
Graduation Ured
Uigli School Girls Advised to
Avoid Extravagance at
Commencement.
The "Commerce," a weekly publi
cation issued by llie journalism class
o( the High School of Commerce, de
votes a column to an article by Miss
Grace Margaret Morton of the de
partment of home economics of the
University of Nebraska, entitled,
"The Problem of Clothes for the
High School Graduate."
The "Commerce" staff, instructed
by Miss Elizabeth Charleton, consid
ers this article of especial impor
tance, because seniors will be grad
uated soon from Commerce High,
Central High, South High, Benson
High and Council Bluffs High
schools.
"In recent years," Miss Morton
says, "there has been a growing ten
dency toward great extravagance and
display in high school graduation
outfits. Girls have seemed to vie with
each other in bedecking themselves
in the niott elaborate creations. To
the average family this custom is a
great financial burden.
The article goes on to say that
girls In some high schools are inter
ested in simpler dress standards and
those who can best afford expensive
clothes are the ones among whom
this movement meets with greatest
favor.
"Can we not do something in Ne
braska to solve this problem of ex
pensive graduation clothes?" Miss
Morton asks. "How many times will
the banquet dress be worn after grad
uation? The Home 'Economics Jour
nal says that only IS per cent of the
clothing purchased by women today
is actually worn out.1'
The writer recommends that a
simple graduation dress be adopted
of white organdie, voile, dotted swiss
and net, which are all serviceable ma
terials, launder well, and may be
worn many times, if made up in a
serviceable manner.
More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
VIA THE ATLAS
I've .often longed a look to have
At far Ekaterinoslav,
To visit Ornjk and also Tomsk .
Vould please me past all measure.
On foot I've often meant to plod
Through lovely Ninji Novgorod;
To spend a year in Vladimir
Would fill my soul with pleasure.
A life ambition I have had
To see the sights of Petrograd.
To drive a mule through Sarapul
And by the muddy Volga,
Or in the suburbs of Kazan
To seek, with one strong arm, to span
With ardent haste the rounded waist
Of some responsive Olga.
In droskies I would like to whisk
Along the streets of Bobruisk,
The heights to raid of Mt. Svade
And possibly to cycle
From some place to the east of Minsk
Through Ketlos, Bererof, Sosovinsk
And Saratof and Kursk and Pskof
Until I reach Lake Baikel.
But Mr. Lenione doesn't care
Eor foreign tourists over there;
For those who land on Russia's strand
There's gory murder brewing.
Rut he cannot forbid a chap
To make the journey on the map
And freely cruise where'er he chose
And that's what I've .been doing.

Where It Started
Cameos.
The art of cameo-cutting dates
from the third century B. C, It
reached its height among the Greeks.
The greatest of all cameo-cutters
was a Grecian artist named Pyr go
teles. He is acclaimed by all the
ancient writers as the leader in his
art; but curiously enough, not a
single specimen of his work has been
preserved.

How can a boy of 14 who has nev

of the sick or feeble? i
This is a little difficult. But it can
be done. Read to the boy "The Story
of a Short Life," or give it to him
to read. Tell him of the great work
done by physicians and surgeons. He
will gradually learn that the strong

the sick and afflicted.
