You Can Cut This Dress Without a Pattern
NEW VERSION OF THE
JUMPER FROCK
When the jumper dress sprang into popularity, last season, it was greeted as a purely American fashion. Now many of the French dressmakers are evolving clever adaptations of it. Not that one dares hint over here that a style could originate anywhere but in Paris. No matter where the jumper frock originated, the Parisian version of it has many little touches that lend piquancy and style.
The model I have sketched for you here is typical. The jumper portion of the dress is of fine tan homespun. The soft satin blouse is also of tan, but in a lighter tone. A bright red flower with equally bright green leaves is embroidered in silk at the corner of the corner of the square neck. This garment bit of color is distinctly smart.
Two and three-quarters yards of 30-inch material will make the jumper portion of this dress. All the pieces are cut perfectly straight, except at the shoulder seams, which are slightly sloped, as I have shown in the little cutting chart at the right.
Measure on the figure the correct waist length, also the skirt length and the width the panel should be. Add three inches on each side of the skirt portion of the front panel for plates. Mark these measurements on the material and proceed to cut.
In putting the dress together it is a good plan to let the belt extend under the panel so that the plaits may be tacked to it.
This kind of dress also offers splendid makeover possibilities. An old frock that is worn under the arms may be blouse and jumper harmonize well in
Historian Recalls Days of Long Ago
Story of Yorba Family Recounted at Meeting
Stirring events in the early history of Orange county, especially as it concerned the Yorba family, were recounted Saturday afternoon at the meeting of the Orange County Historical Society, held at the home of Mrs. J. C. Travis, a granddaughter of Bernardo Yorba, on the Santa Ana river at Yorba.
Mrs. Travis lives but a short distance from the home of Bernardo Yorba, who was the original grantee under the Spanish grants of land extending as far inland as Corona. About 40 of the 150 descendants of Bernardo Yorba now living were present. About 60 members of the historical society attended the meeting.
The principal paper of the afternoon was that read by Charles J. Prudhomme of Los Angeles, connected with the Historical Society of Southern California. His paper was entitled, "A Romantic History Clings to the Santa Ana Land Grant—A History of the Yorba Family."
Accompanying Mr. Prudhomme to the meeting were Arthur M. Ellis, J. Gregg Lyane and A. Wackerbarth, experts on Southland history, living in Los Angeles.
Another speaker was J. E. Pleasants of Orange county, one of the best known pioneers of this district. Pleasants told of the man hunt in 1857 for the outlaw Flores and his band, who had killed Sheriff Barton of Los Angeles and two of his deputies.
A posse organized among the citizens caught Flores and two of his gang. Pleasants said, near Modjeska's, and they were hanged in a branch of the Santiago canyon. Pleasants assisted in burying the bones of the outlaws and not long dug up an old gun which, it is believed, was used by one of the posse or one of the bandits.
Arthur Ellis, whose collection of historical photographs concerning early Southern California is said to be unexcelled, took a picture of the historical society members at the Yorba home.

PAROLE UNDER FIRE
Discouraging news comes to those who would turn back the crime wave. The board of prison directors of California is still releasing in record time men who figured in serious crimes.
Everett A. Hutchings ("Big Hutch"), notorious swindler and bunco artist, was convicted in 1921 of grand larceny for a swindle which netted him $51,000. The county of Los Angeles paid $40,000 to secure the conviction of the prisoner, who resorted to every device, legal and otherwise, to escape conviction. The crime was punishable by a term of from one to 10 years. The prison board fixed the term at seven years and six months, and it has been reduced to 40 months by good behavior, prison road camp work, and a year's parole.
A man who ruthlessly swindled his victims out of their life-carnings and reaped a harvest of great wealth has atoned for his sins with a more term of a little more than three years. The Examiner puts the total result of his efforts in that city in the year 1920 at $35,000, and all the metropolitan newspapers have editorial hands up in horror at his release, says the San Bernardino Sun.
The prison likewise recently released a youth, son of a rich father, who while intoxicated killed two people with his automobile. He had served approximately a year in prison.
Certainly he didn't mean to kill the two people. Absolutely it was too bad that he drank, and very probably he has learned his lesson and won't do it again.
Perhaps it is true that "Big Hutch" will never steal or rob or swindle again.
But what about the two people who
Quentin for embezzlement of uncertain but very large sums from the city of Ontario, was breathing the air of freedom again after serving a small part of the term for which he was sentenced. It was a seven days' wonder with us, as the Hutchings case perhaps will be in Los Angeles, and then in the rush and hurly-burly of the day, it will be forgotten, until some other parole stirs us momentarily.
The country is crying out for relief against crime. The first demand in California should be that the legislature make drastic amendments to the parole law, so that no individual or set of individuals will have the unlimited power now claimed or possessed by the prison board.
Wonder if those Paris newspapers which are now railing at the United States are the same one that wanted Uncle Sam to hurry over in 1917?
Another Texas woman is after Governor Ma Ferguson's job. We hope the girls won't fall out about this.
A New York politician says that it costs the taxpayers $77 for every flea killed by the city board of health. Evidently somebody is not coming up to scratch.
Judging from the number who didn't come out to vote in the recently held primaries, they must have been very exclusive affairs.
Mexican claims against the United States for damages exceed those of the United States against Mexico. In estimating damages the Mexicans appear to be entirely equal to the job.
When the next war comes, those Florida real estate ad writers can all get good jobs as propagandists.

Get "Hep" to Yourself
ADVERTISING makes for prosperity—it increases business, creates a market for goods and disposes of them as necessities or because of advantages and inducements attractively set forth. It hits at hard times by putting money into circulation and keeping it there; it helps to strengthen public confidence by stimulating trade activity.
Advertising is the force that moves slow sellers from counter to customer. Every advertisement is a salesman of proven ability, reaching every class, need and sex in the community.
People always prefer to buy known goods from merchants whom they know. Advertising makes you acquainted with the buying public. This "personality print" is the greatest builder of confidence there is.
Too many merchants treat advertising like they do a collector for a church. They think it costs a terrible lot until they check up on it and find out that they ain't done nothing yet."
Advertising will not sell bathing suits to the skimo or overcoats to the South Sea Islander; some merchants, however, shoulder on it almost as difficult job and lose confidence in advertising when it fails.
Industrial history records no greater success than of a newspaper that deserves and has the
terrible lot until they check up on it and find out that they ain't done nothing yet."
