TWtWiW^. : y '??•, i^r, ~H i r K f e Buffering pAaad lias furnished the £a(is dressmaker with her Inspiration for the fashions of this fall and the coming winter, according to a Paris fashion correspondent. From this warracked, poverty-stricken country has come the lead for the luxury of the world. It Is not the Poland of today that Is dominating, but the Poland of ancient glory which kept, step with.f France falseq progress toward civilisation. Many missions have gone from France into Poland, and each group has returned Impressed by her pathos and her beauty. These missions have had a bearing on present-day fashions, ail of which are of the Renaissance period, touched with the Polish Influency. The Polish-Renaissance Influence Is • transforming one because practically every part of the dress has been touched. Sleeves have been made larger and In fancy style, both open and with under sleeves. Collars have heightened and have grown very Important looking. The waistline has dropped several Inches. The skirt has lengthened and taken on a flare, so, this movement Is almost revolutionary. These styles have great dignity and elegance. They call for the use of rich materials of heavy weight. Trimmings are heavy In the form of big cabuchons, nail heads and heavy embroideries that stand out from the background. The goldsmith's trade was at its zenith during this period and the costumes of the nobility were adorned with real and semi-precious Jewels and ornamented with hammered gold and sliver. Today all of these effects are being Imitated with great success. Quilted Velvet Model. Snch fringes as are used are heavy, being made of lacet, chenille and strings of large beads instead of the One silk strands of modern times.. There is a new line of quilted materials brought out by Rodier, which works up wonderfully in these Polish- Renaissance models. One of the most striking examples of the Polish styles is the model named Nljluskl, made by Jean Patou. It Is of Rodler's Glocki. a quilted velvet, the quilting being done In gold thread. It is trimmed with black Persian lamb fur and has hammered steel nail head embroidery on the undersleeve and a heavily Jeweled girdle worn at a low waistline. The model bolds the keynote of much that Is new and Interesting in forthcoming fashion for autmun and winter. In common with many other of this season's tailored dresses, it shows a high muffling collar. Persian lamb wtta chosen for it, and the same fur trims the sleeves and forms bands down either side. This old-fashioned fur also Is having a renaissance and will be one of the mast fashionable fars this winter. Black Persian lamb Is extensively used as a trimming. Copies of this dress have been made with the high muffling collar of cloth embroidered In hand effect or entirely covered with embroidery. It also has been worked out in cloth fringed with monkey fur. Aside from emphasizing the Polish blouse in tailored Buits, Patou shows three-quarters and seven-eighths length tailored suit coats with wide flaring circular cut fullness. Many of these show the low blousing waistline or low belted waistlines of the middle ages and the Renaissance period. From an inspirational standpoint in design the Polish peasant dress and the Italian Renaissance court costumes of about the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries have furnished most of Patent's ideas. The Renaissance fa .strongly predominant tii the sleeve ettfedts of both dresses and mantles. He makes the wide flowing and bell shaped sleeve, often accompanied by an under sleeve of brilliant contrasting color. New and interesting garments show a combination of cloth and fur. One model from Madeleine et. Madeleine is developed in perllalne, Rodler's new material, In a deep pumpkin shade trimmed with Hudson seaK A tailored suit Is also from Madeleine et Madeleine. For It they have selected perforated broadcloth and have worked it out in the new beltless coat effect. Practically every Important dressmaker in Paris Is uslag perforated broadcloth as a novelty. It Is often underlaid with a contrasting color, PICRIC ACID MADE FOR WAR IS USEFUL FOR BLASflNG STUMPS Stump Successfully Requires Experience a*d Judgment. tamping. Never nse Iron. Moist clay, moist loam, and moist sand, following one another in the order named, make the best tamping material. The material shouJd be packed lightly for four or six inches, and then rammed as hard as the surroundftig soil. Before firing see that everybody Is out of the way. In firing a safety fuse it is best to split it, exposing the powder for an inch, apply irmatch until the powder spits, and then run to safety. If the charge fails, lot it alone until next day. For large jobs It will often be found tdvlsable to buy an electric blasting outfit, which will fire Several charges at once. The bureau of pubUc roads of the United States Department of Agriculture wUl give information about the distribution of picric acid and the use of this and other explosives. The distribution, however, will be made only through state agencies.

The One-Piece Dress. A simple style of one-piece dress designed to be worn under a fur coat is developed ft a gray broadcloth, the skirt being of the cloth and the bodice of a mixed metallic material showing a reflection, of red and steel. Handsome steel buttons fasten the collar and one side, of the bodice. A threequarter length gray squirrel coat was made to accompany' this frock. It lg one of Madeleine et Madeleine's models. The same honse also shows among their new things a popular cloth street dress made of velours de lalne in a beautiful shade of beige trimmed with applique rounds of brown satin and having a high fur collar and fur cuffs. v A beautiful tea* gown v or negligee, whether it be for formal or informal wear, is dear to the heart of every woman.

The most popular shades at the moment are tan, brown, blue and red. Every hat is sewn and blocked by hand, and expresses distinction to a high order. The garnitures are also charming, using the favored trimming motifs of adult size millinery, in the proportionately miniature sizes. Such trimmings as hackel pads, ostrich fancies, fur bands, lacquered quills and embroideries, are also reduced to proportions that are in keeping with the size of the little hats. •" fflay Have Linen Again. ft has been many a month sin£t the1 flax fields of the Emerald Isle have received any attention.

( PRESENT SMARTNESS OF FRINGE Ossoratlon la Being Used en Wearing v ,Apparel With the Most Delightful Success. II would be a thankless task to ex-- plain the psychology of fashion--why attempt to explain the unexplalnable? asks a Fashion writer in Harper's Baser. There Is fringe, for example; who can explain Its present smartness when tor months we have been assured that it was "going" If not already "outT' Paris is using, It this season lor every sort of gown and wrap with the moot delightful success. Right cannily <«he uses it in ways that are new an<* strange to this once straitlaced trimming. It appears as bands and panels in place of fur, it plays the part of sleeves and even entire tunics and naturally we find It firmly ousting embroidery from its long assured position. This new importance of fringe Is due not alone to its decorative possibilities but to its straight, cliuglng qualities. Paris awoke suddenly to the fact that Its long silken strandi added in some subtle fashion to th< slenderness of the silhouette--it fall« limply, clings closely to the gown fabric and may be used In several layers or in single file. It makes a most satisfactory finish to deep shawl collars and tunics. Strips of the deep fringe form the entire sides of the frock, the uppermost serving as sleeves. A year age these panels would have been of fur 01 embroidery. Side Trimming Used. The cascading of the sides is a feature one finds in both cloth alid silk dresses, the cascade being formed by the loose ends of folds which cross the aiHrt and are divided on the sides, a few extra Inches of 'length beln| given to each, which droop at the tides •%'j•.

Distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture of 12,500,- 000 pounds of picric acid salvaged from the war stores and designed to be used for farm explosives will arouse interest In the desirability and practicability of blasting stumps to clear off old wood lots for drop purposes. The pidrlc acid for distribution has been allotted to the states according to areas of cut-over lands. It is planned to establish an agency in each state to co-operate with the department, and tjie agricultural college in each state has been asked to act In that capacity. ' Not Comtnerclally Available. Picric acid is rather higher In explosive power than ordinary commercial dynamite as used in agriculture, but for manufacturing reasons Is not likely to be on the market after the government's supply is disposed of. For stump and rock blasting work It Is used in practically the same way, being exploded by a detonating cap, either with a fuse or an electric detonator. In blasting stumps, the proper location and size of the charge depend upon the kind, size and age of the stump; the kind of soil and the amount of moisture In lt;„and the method of firing the charge which Is to be used. / For tap-iooted stumps a good method Is to dig away enough earth at the side to permit boring an Inclined hole well down past the center at the depth where it Is desired to cut the root off. The hole should be at least eight inches deeper than the length of the cartridge to allow for tamping. This charge may be fired by fuse or electricity, or two or more charges may be placed in holes around the outside of the root and fired with an electric blasting machine. Sometimes even one large charge, planted deep on the outside of the root, will do the work. Where stumps have lateral roots, some experience and Judgment will be necessary In placing the explosive, especially If only one charge Is used. Generally the center of resistance will be the center'of the stump, although sometimes roots on one side are much stronger than on the other. The depth requires careful consideration. For small stumps the charge should be at least two feet deep, while larger stumps with wide-spreading roots should be loaded deeper. Sandy soil requires a deeper charge than clay or loam. . Size of Charge. The siae of the charge cannot be specified briefly, but one authority recommends roughly one-half pound of 20 per cent dynamite for each square foot of stump. With picric acid, co-operative investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture and other institutions Indicate that success can be attained with onefourth of a pound for each square foot of white-pine stumps, wjth larger charges for hardwood stumps. The inexperienced blaster should begin experiments with small stumps and ad- Just the charge. Holes in soil may usually be made by driving a 1%-lnch crowbar, with a ten-pound maul. In wood, of course, an auger is required. Sometimes It Is wise to set off a small charge In the bottom of the hole to form a chamber and after the hole has cooled tamp it ftill of slit cartridges. If the soil Is dry, the paper covering of the cartridges may be slit with a sharp knife and the cartridges tamped into a solid mass with a wooden stick. Cartridges may be divided by slitting the paper around and breaking. Never attempt to slit a frozen cartridge. To prime the charge, cot off the proper length of fuse, allowing at least 2 feet per minute required to get to safety after firing. Open the cap box and allow one cap to slide Into the hand. Never pick or pry out a cap with a stick or wire, as they are very sensitive. Slip the end of the fuse snugly into the open end of the cap. Crimp the cap on with a crimper. If the charge Is to be fired In water, apply a little grease around the top of the cap. With the crimper handle, or a stick the size of a lead pencil, make a hole In the 'side of the cartridge, inclining It so the part to be occupied by the cap will be parallel with the side of the cartridge. If the cartridge is to be fired under water, apply some waterproofing substance. Tie the fuse In place with a string around the fuse and the cartridge. Then carefully place the cartridge in the blast hole, making sure the cap stays in position. pFinilng for electric discharge is nfcch simpler. Directions go with tiie apparatus.

FEEDING MINERALS TO HOGS When Given in Balanced Rations They Have Little Effect en Economical Gains. ' Minerals fed in balanced rations tt hogs had little if any effect on rapidity or economy of gains, report Ohio and Illinois stations. They find that minerals strengthen the bones of the aninJkls. When pigs are not receiving a balanced ration, but are being fed without pasture, milk or tankage, rnin erals are a valuable aid. They may pay when fed to breeding animals. Minerals used in these tests were ground limestone, air-slaked lime, rock phosphate, bonemeal In various forms, slaked coal and salt. Every practical hog man knows the worth of charcoal, wood ashes and salt for hogs, especially in winter when hogs can't get into the soil. ^ Seattle, Wash. efn holdup man and bold mat! robl known all along the Pacific coast as the cleverest and most slippery prisoner ever placed under arrest, is again a free man.
