As M f *ar as cu* of the salts themselves ; . Is concerned, writes a fashion corre- ' spondent, there Is so much latitude \that It Is difficult to ptn one's faith to any type. The straightllne coat may be said to be vthe most popular. Any number of short box coats are y seen. These find popularity with the ^ -younger set. ,' 1 Perhaps the reason for the longer "it straightllne coat taking precedence Pf i over all others-Is that It was brought ^ ' out earlier In the season and might A?Y-'.:t;'be termed a style now in full sway. "• While the box coat Is not an abso- /*' 'lutely new thing--having made Its vW debut some time ago--It recently has ,'0 s|t, been exploited to a considerable ex- 'jfc.'a tent by some of. the best French and ( • American houses. Mme. Jenny, for 4M one, makes much of the very short jW coat. A few ripple coats are seen, but these are in the minority. Collars are high. The chief reqi%;. • ulsite of. a collar is that it must be :l/c\ , high. It may top a vest, muffle the throat and fasten in the back, or it ; may take its Inspiration from the dlrectolre and flare In the back and at ^ t the sides. Although many are cut la ...

An Attractive 8uit of Black Velours de Laine Trimmed with Qray As* trachan. ^ they still come wen up about the head and ears. Whereas the high •' collars seen on coats In winters recently passed buttoned up about the neck tn some way, this year they often are open- In front. High collars of fur are shown across the front, while the back of the collar may be of doth. Coats Uneven of Hem. The Unevenness of the bottoms of coats Is a noteworthy feature. In this they follow the iead of dresses, which are as uneven at the hems as can be. A suit recently seen is an example of the unevenness of the bottoms of both coat and skirt. The model is from Martial et Armand. The Jackets of suits shown by this house are of all lengths, from the short little boxlike jackets to those reaching almost to the hem of the skirt. llavy blue velours de laine is used Trimming J<ftk uW ihow« day coats of loose, straight cut, as well as short box coats, and makes capes trimmed with wide bands of fur to be worn over the short box coats. These are of the same lengths as the coats. She also makes long plaid capes with plaited panels at the back extending , the entire length of the cape. Capes of this character have large, flowing collars. Both short and long-haired for pelts ' are used by this maker, such as seal, % squirrel, red Australian opossum, goat, dyed gray and monkey fur. Lanvln Is one who, although she may be said to be using less fur than "ormerly, Is showing some short capes f monkey fur. When she uses fur as a trimming, preference is given to sheared lamb, although a few models are trimmed with monkey fur. The latter, no longer a novelty, is much cheaper this year. As a trimming to take the plafce of for there Is applique embroidery in vivid colors. These bright colors, which occasionally appear in the form for this suit, and the pointed edge panels, which extend below the edge of both Jacket and skirt, are embroidered In gray. The gray embroidery also appears on the narrow cuff bands. The one-button closing is extensively used by this firm as a fastening for suit Jackets. The vest and high collar are of squirrel. The skirt i* short and narrow. Wider sleeves are In evidence. Ever so many are loose and flowing. The bell-shaped three-quarters length is very much liked. The long, straight, full coat sleeves, with deep embroideries, which were so much a feature of last season's collections, still are seen. , Bullox, who la noted for his beautiful suits, makes Jackets which are straight. loosely belted and of medium length, loosely belted with a twoinch belt, which ts twisted and passes across the center front, where it buttons. The ends of the belt, which widen gradually %> about eight inches, fall to the bottom of the skirt. The skirt Is embroidered all over with enormous taupe plush roses. These roses reappear on the .Jacket at the hips and on the collar.' Tight Skirts, Coat to Knees. Another interesting Idea is the making of a belt, six inches in widths which folds over the center front in one piece with the back panel of the. Jacket. Still another suit of blue serge shows a> very tight skirt and kneelength coat, which Is tremendously full In the skirt This fullness is let in at the hips and held out at the hem by means of bands and ruchlQg of the serge. The high collar is made of an Immense serge ruche. Bulloz's collars are of exaggerated height on both dresses and suits. Soft fur collars on suits come literally above the nose, so that the eyes just peep over the edge. A model of Interest show* a cord lacing at the back from the top of the high collar to the waistline, where it ties in a bow with streamers. No special note has been made of the materials used in suits, because there , is nothing striktngly new In them. We have previously hoted the use of broadcloth and other old-fashioned, smooth-finished cloths. Of course, there Is any amount of velours de laine and duvetyn, with the cheviots and striped woolens for the more strictly tailored suits. Colors are rather somber. Black, brown and gray are In the lead. With (he use of gray for suits, seel has become even more popular, because it makes such a beautiful contrast to the soft gray cloth, as well as following the vogue for gray and black. Bulloz has successfully launched some splendid coats made of cloth, with fur trimming, oiotably in combinations of gray velours de laine and sealskin fur. * Many brown furs, which are very beautiful In themselves, could not be considered for use with gray. White furs are used in connection with black cloth. White skunk is used in the form of enormous collars and cuffs worked in vertical lines on beautifully brocaded evening coats. The different feelings toward the use of trimming, as evinced by the different dressmakers, is interesting. Some use it sparingly, and others lavishly. Those who favor Its extensive use employ it in the form of large collars and cuffs, and for both deep bands and narrow edgings. Cheruit Is one great designer who favors fur. Callot, another authority, uses it sparingly. So we may please ourselves as to whether we shall wear fur or not sad also consult our pocketbooks. ,. w, On. the First Leg of His Trip to City Market. Has Color of trlinmlngp on suits, SMi-rfc* accounted for by the dullness of so many dark street costumes. Many women like some brightness )n their street clothes and soon weary of so many dark costumes. An interesting embroidery Is seen in the combination of alternating rows of steel beads and steel thread. Ever so many of the hand-embroidered trimming bands start from under the arm and extend to the hem of the coat or dress. Straightllne quilting again Is appearing on coats, suits and dresses. A feature of one firm this season Is huge embroidered disks or the same effect obtained through an applique of cloth. Often they are placed straight across the back of the garn\pnt from shoulder to shoulder, a novel treatment which cannot be said to be entirely satisfactory from the standpoint of becominguess.

Not long since, writes a Paris corespondent In Vogue, the Parlslenns went slowly by, with bent head, clad in the somber tones of war work uniform. But now she goes a way of great gayety and Jauntlness, and her country suits are frequently made In three pieces. She has a new material for them--cheviot serge of appropriate weight and a soft, fussy surface. This Is cut Into a frock and cloak or cape, and sometimes Into a hat, as welL The frock is simple in the chemise style, with short sleeves, and of a brevity suitable for walking. The coat reaches either a three-quarters or full length and is roomy and simple in its design, while the hat, which may be either of the same material or of felt, is always of matching color. It is a Jannty little affair, small and unadorned save for an occasional crushed band or piping along the edge. The usual order of belts Is reversed, for a narrow belt is used on the frock, ffhlje the belt on the coat Is wide. Ts Dress Economically. .

Belts of narrow moire ribbon hays large jeweled aad composition buckles. This to til* Season of the year when farmers are sending their hay to the city markets. In the face of a marvelous increase in motor-propelled vehicles which eat only gasoline, it is worthy of note that the production and consumption of hay In the United States has Increased steadily year by year, reaching Its highest point In history In 1919. This year's yield will be only slightly less. At the same time, the marketing of hay has become a more particular undertaking. Formerly nearly all hay was sold within 30 miles of the place where it was grown. Now a large part of It Is Bhlpped by rail and some exported. • Two Kinds of Markets. Market hay may be dlvldcft 'into two general classes: City market hay and local, or country, market hay. The line of distinction between the two classes is not always distinctly drawn, but it may be said that the demand In regard to quality and better grades is tnore rigid In the city than on the lo^al market. It requires a better qual'ty of hay to grade as No. X on the city market than on the local market. > Compared with marketing hay in the city, disposing of It In the .country is a comparatively simple matter. On the local market the producer usually ,comes in direct contact with the consumer and hay is not sold according to its official grade but on its merit. It Is designated as "choice," "good bright hay," "fair," "medium," etc. This Includes all kinds of hay, and hence there is no necessity for the producer to know the commercial grades. When hay is shippted to the city market, however, the grade given by the shipper Is of the utmost Importance. The prices of the different grades of hay depend, in years of normal yield, on the demand of city consumers, who may be divided into three general classes according to the kind of hay they feed. In the first class are the drivers of fancy driving •nd saddle horses, who feed the highest quality hay. Such horses must be kept in the best condition, and a^No. 1 hay Is very palatable and agrees with the horses, It Is used to furnish the required bulk of the ration rather than the quality of nutritive substances It contains. High-grade hay llwa.vs finds a ready sale, foi3 the demand usually exceeds the supply. The second class of consumers avoid VOTES 1-YEAR BAN ON ALIEN House Pusses Johnson Exclusion Bin by Vote of 293 5 * * to 41.

In the eastern part of the United States No. 1 and No. 2 timothy are fed In preference to the other grades and are cheaper. Consumers of this kind are beginning to nse mixed (timothy and clover hay) and legume hay, especially alfalfa, in preference to unmixed grass hay. The third class Med the lower grades^ such as No. 8 timothy and "no grade." This hay is fed by many horse owners because It Is cheap, and by owners of trarfSlent and sale stables who want something to fill up the horses and are not greatly concerned with the nutritive quality of the feed. Experienced horse owners know that1 when poor hay is fed It requires a larger grain ration than where better grade hay Is used. The quantity of poor hay in the market is much greater than that of good hay. Hay Should Be Well Baled. Most hay for city market nowadays Is baled, and each year there Is considerable loss In marketing hay on account of Improper baling. The rules by which market hay is graded require that it be "sound and well baled.' Properly baled hay consists of bales of uniform size! having straight edges, square ends, the proper number of wires accurately placed, and baled In such a manner aft to stand handling and shipping well. Each bale tthould contain only one grade of hay, composed of enough folds to be torn apart easily when the wires are removed. The sire and weight of the bales are Important in most markets. The producer should know the demands of tt e market to which his hay ts to be shipped. Usually a man snips his hay Into one general market where tfce size and weight of bale Is uniform. The small bale, up to 100 pounds, Is much In demand because one man cen load, unload, and deliver it. This size is popular for handling where shipr ments are by river boat in the South. For southern retail trade a bale not more thap 70 pounds--approximately 30 to the ton--Is popular. In several eastern markets the large upright bale weighing from 200 to 225 pounds Is preferred. The producer should select his best hay for the city markets, grade It carefully, bale It according to the market, and avoid shipping more than one class of hay in the same car. Volstead Resolution Is Adopted Unan«j imously, 323 Votes Being Recorded ; ' as Favoring It--Work on Tlx Laws Is Started. i'* V- • • N • - -- " ^ Washington, Dec. 15.--The Johnsonimmigration bill, as amended to prohibit all immigration for a period of one year, was passed by the house. The vote was 293 for the bill an* 41 against. Six members voted "present." It now goes to the senate, where it* defeat is predicted by senate leaders. The Siegel amendment, exempting brothers and sisters of aliens who have become American citizens was approved, 203 to 70. Immediately after the vote was announced Chairman Johnson of the lm< migration committee Issued a state* ment saying that the 1,250 immigrants who arrived at New York Saturday in the White Star liner Adriatic had beet sent to Hoffman Island because of an outbreak of typhus among them, and that at Gloucester, N. J., 11 aliens had been taken from the steamship Haverford and sent to the detention station suffering with typhus. "The French senate," said Mr. Johnson, "Is considering closing the doors of that republic to immigrants, owing to the spreading of a mysterious disease known as malady No. 9, and with which tens of thousands of Polish and Russian refugees in Paris have suffered the last year.

This flock, in King county, Wash., ranks among the largest and best utility flocks in the country. The owner also reported a herd of 173 Holsteln cattle and 21 Duroc-Jersey swine. RIDDING FIELDS OF GOPHERS Poisoning Is by Far Most Eff«$ive Means of Exterminating D4N structive Rodents. Trapping and fumigation are two ot the morfe commonly practiced methods of ridding fields of gophers, but poisoning Is by far the more effective, although great care must be exercised In order to prevent poisoning of either the operator or farm animals which have access to the field. A very active poison must be used, as, for example, strychnine or cyanide of potas- Bium. Pieces of potato, apple or sweet potato poisoned with strychnine capsoles answer the purpose very well, and raisins or prunes treated in this way have been fount} to give very good results. CARE FOR FARM IMPLEMENTS Moldboard and 8hovels of Plow, and Cultivator 8heuld Be Treated to Coat of Grease. The wheels of the plow and the cultivator have stopped turning and need AO more oiling nor greasing this winter. But be sure that the moldboard and shovels have been treated to a coat of grease. A generous application of axle grease now will save a generous application of elbow grease next spring. BIG SHRINKAGE IN PRODUCE Wise Plan for Farmer to Qlspoee s* *8oms of His Crops Soon After Hsrvesting. A 100-pound sack of corn stored this tell will not weigh more than 90 in £he qpring. The shrinkage in potatoes is also quite marked. For that reason it is wise to sell at legist some of these as soon as possible after harvesting. ' PLOWING FOR BEST RESULTS Little Subeoll Turned to Surface Ooeaaionaily Permits Elsfafnts tp ^ Act Freely. 4 It has been abundantly proved ifftwt It Is not good to plow si field the same depth from year to year. By plowing shallow or at a uniform depth, the soil cannot become mixed well and a hard bed is formed at the bottom of the furrow, which neither air, w%ter, nor the roots of plants will penetrate readily. A little subsoil turned to the surface occasionally allows the elements to act upon It freely, thus liberating food as It mingles with the surface soil and vegetable matter. In this way more valuable plant food and greater depth of soil is furnished the plants which groto upon It CLOVER AND ALFALFA CROPS Should Be Soarified and Soil inoculated for Greatest Suooess Cut Out Weeds. V The seed of all clovers and alfalfa should be scarified and the soil Inoculated with the appropriate bacteria, for greatest success. The soil for alfalfa, especially, should be well prepared, free from perennial weeds Including all grasses. Sweet clover Is not so exacting In this respect, although even In this crop, carefull <*ul ture will have Its own reward. Red, alslke and white or Dutch clover may be mixed with the grasses in limited amounts for hay or pasture. Under irrigation, where there Is greater chance of success, they may be used quite extensively. . .

An embargo for one year against the importation of wheat, wheut flour, barley, rye, onts, flax, wool, hogs, cattle and sheep is proposed in a bill Introduced by Representative Young (Rep.) of North Dakota. Initial steps in the framing of new revenue legislation by congress were taken with the opening of hearings before the house ways and means committee on tax questions and the nation's revenue needs. Dr. Thomas S. Adams, tax expert and economist of the Treasury department, told the committee that the first problem for It to decide was whether the level of taxes should be retained at $4,000,000,000 annually He expressed the belief that no reduction could or should be considered. Before Doctor Adams began his testimony, Chairman Kordney and Representative Garner (Dem.), Texas, bad a lively tilt when the Texas member demanded that a statement be included* In the record, showing the exact purpose of the hearings. Mr. Fordney finally announced that the committee proposed to .gather information on which to base contemplated revision of tax laws. He said he planned to continue the hearings to December 29 and then adjourn to January 6 when tariff questions would be taken up. Mr. Garner objected to this plan on the ground that the terms of office of five of the Democratic members of the committee would expire on March 1. He said It was unfair to place tax questions before the new members who had had no opportunity to crossexamine witnesses.
