This monument is one of tie most pretentious ever planned ia . .'modern times. In conception it can be compared only to the wonderful basilica of Imperial Rome. v , ;U was In 1917 that Professor Seiortfe1"' pondering over the *rar in which ' •jllllons of soldiers were killed, planned li monument which would be a fitting . one for the heroic dead, as well as a ipuseum and temple combined. His 'original idea was that it should be an International monument, one which could bv« erected on some historic spot, on a battlefield. He suggested to many ftiends that, while the bones scattered over many battlefields could be interred in the walls of the crypt, one central tomb should be a memorial for all, whether .^privates or officers. On the sketches which he made in 1917 lie wrote: "Plans for a monument to Mil unknown soldier and sailor." It 'was his idea that millions should con- , JlWer that tomb the resting place of their own lost ones. For Noted Dead. * " The monument is a building which consist of three galleries, a library and a museum. In the first gallery there will be 300 instrumental percussions, which will be heard for miles around; in the second, 300 bells, which will peal on commemorative days, while in the central hall there will be an organ, to be played on Solemn occasions. In whatever country It is erected it would be not only a monument to the memory of the fallen soldiers, but also a kind of Westminster Abbey, where men of would be bnried. i Antonio Sciortino, who occupies the pSst of director of arts at the Brit* tab afcademy in Rome, is a man of great latent and Is considered by many art critics to he the leading British sculptor of today. He studies not only in Rome, but also in Paris. Though still a young man (he Is thirty-nine years old) be has accomplished much. He works quickly, modeling with a rapidity which is contrary to the custom of many modern sculptors. His quickest bit of work was a mask made when lie wak in Paris ten or twelve years ago while visiting a friend's studio. It happened to be his last day in Paris and he had called in to say good-by to a fellow sculptor. He had only twenty iniQUtes to spare. Seated in a corner, in an easy chair, was Leo Textonius, the American pianist, who had often asked Sciortino to make a model of his head. Sciortino took up a piece of clay and in little more'than fifteen minutes had modeled a mask of the pianist Tfiis mask was banging In tbe Amer- statue. the originality of the work. The winning of the competition la 1914, offered by the Duma committee of KiefT, was not only a personal, but an international success, as 300 sculptors of all nations competed for five years. Three times Sciortino competed and won money prizes. When In 1914 he won again it was decided to give him the order for the -rtatue. The decision of the committee caused great Indignation throughout Russia. The committee then decided to hold a referendum. All the prominent men and women of Russia were asked to view the model and decide whether the Russian models were equal to that of the British sculptor. They unanimously held that the statue chosen was best of all the other 299. This referendum was taken carefully. The written opinions w^re placed in sealed envelopes. In a sealed box and only, opened after'ail had finished voting. The occupation of the city in Moscow by the Bolshevists prevented the statue ever being erected and the final award wus never given to tbe sculptor.

The writer was present upon both occasions and admits, but not without some self-reproach, that he, too, handled some of the bone fragments.

Biso is the big buffalo bull that for M years has been the admiration of visitors to the Wichita national forest and game ref"ge In Oklahoma. The city of Montevideo, Uruguay, has asked that its zoological gnrden be aapplied with an American bison and tbe forest service men who have charge of tbe buffalo on the Wichita say that Biso will be.aa excellent representative of this typical North American species whose once mighty herds roamed the great plains from Mexico to northern Canada. In 1907 15 bison were "planted" In the Wichita national forest and have since increased to over 150 head. This herd promises to maintain the type and stamina of the original bison, since the animals are kept at all times under natural conditions. They subsist entirely on wild grasses and live within so large an inclosure that they are under practically no restraint So Biso has been well content and is reluctant to leave. Yet -tiany of the younger buffalo bulls are casting envious glances at the old fellow.

Summer has passed out of our calculations, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times, as far as any purchases are concerned. To be sure, we are atlll wearing oar summer clothes and glad we are to have them, too. But when we have to find any new frocks, why, then, of course, we are looking forward to another season, and are buying all necessary things with a •tew to wearing them on through months that are cooler. We say to ourselves: "Whatever I have now shall be suited for a more salubrious clime and never again shall I consider these flaming hours of tbe present. I am contemplating cool breezes and therefore, nty clothes being ready, they must find me sooner or later." Just now Paris is in tbe throes of having its openings. The new styles are being divulged to the buyers and lookers-on who are enjoying the showing In the midst of the heat Thorn Brown Serge With Embroidery. models will take some more weeks In which to filter through to this country to make their impression and their inevitable mark upon the styles which are our own. But for the actual present, we have some advance Parisian suits and dresses that show what the designers are doing In the way of foretelling the modes to come. The ones that have been sent are most conservative in character, but, after all. isn't that the way of the truly French woman? She wishes to be conservative always while at the same time she is living up to all of the pre-established standards of a seasonable change In fashion. She is always smart, but she is never-ultraevldently fashionable. She maintains her own character while she bows to fashion's ways. She Is an artist In all that she does In the way of dress, and It Is by studying her technique and her manner of dress that we are able to learn for ourselves In tbe way of perfecting our own attire. Suits First In Favor. Suits are the first tilings In tbe way of fall clothes that really strike into tbe soul of a woman. She most bare something for street wear^-and that as soon as the cooler days arrive. As a matter of fact, even while it is still hot, she begins to think of heavier suits, if only to cheer herself along. If by purchasing a new fall suit she can hurry along more comfortable living weather, then that is what she wishes to do and, at any rate, she can make herself believe that she Is approaching more nearly more livable weather. There are two Interesting salts, both made along somewhat the same lines with that long, hip-length Jacket that has been so popular In Paris all summer and the short, straight peplum added to that for a finish. One suit has more of fanclness than the other one, but then that is a way the French designers have. They love to Introduce a few plaits and some embroidery plus Inserted or appllqued material in order to pull the suit out of tbe strictly tailored class. They can no more bear to leave that suit un trimmed by some slight fixing than they can attempt to make a dress these days without side fiouncings and panelings. They must have their suits classed among the more informal articles of apparel before they can be truly satisfied with their appearance. This suit Is made of brown gabardine In one of those very darkest of shades that are becoming more and more popular leading up to fall. It has a rolled.revers front to the jacket which spreads into a quite ample collar which is appliqued with a bit of dark blue silk upon which are embroidered an overlying area of glistening silver figures. This trimming is then repeated in places above the flaring cuffs and insertions inserted under the arms ahd above the low-lying belt. There are pockets on the narrow peplum made of series of folds and finished by little rows of decorative buttons attuned by their design and coloring to the harmony of the rest of the costume. Figure Determines Skirt Length. The skirts of these suits are quite plain, with only enough fulness allowed them to make them ample as to fit and hang. They are neither too loose nor too tight, but they have the happy faculty of carrying out the line of the coat perfectly and to the last degree of deslgft. They are long. Yes, all of the newer skirts kre longer than they were and, though these have not reached any ultra length, they are still reaching down toward the ground with recognizable persistency. There Is much to be said in this matter of skirts with reference to proportion. Much depends upon the height and general shape of the Individual who wears them. The skirts take their length and lines from a preestablished contour of individual figure. They are subject to a harmonious adjustment with reference to other details of the costume and the purpose for which It Is being worn. • Another little, long-walsted short coat Is the latest development in dark blue serge. You know it is perfectly impossible for us to face a new season without some characteristic development having made itself felt in this standby material, this "favorable fabric for all women whose wardrobes must be called upon to suit man}- occasions and many times. Well, the blue serge suit this season, if we are to listen to the French, will be softer even than usual, and It will have* many points of Interest usually more characteristic of the dress than the suit. As showif In newer models* the coats will be long-walsted and there will be some sort of trimming that will help to enliven the general appearance of the costume. Decorations of Red and Blue Beads 8cotla> <Ps Many Islands. Tbe Islands ot Scotland npmber about 800 altogether. ' London County Council's Palatial Headquarters' Sleeves for suit coats will often be wide, so that they add that one atom of grace at a point wbere It is most desirable <%ccordlnc to tbe present rtyles. Now, the decoration on tho serge suit described is done with a very fine embroidery of red and blue beads. Then the coat Is lined with a soft bit of red crepe toning into the shading of the red beads. This makes a happy, If entirely Inconspicuous, addition to the all-over blue and lifts the suit into that more Informal class where the woman dressing for the approaching season will be happiest In her street clothes. At the necklibe there Is no suggestion of a collar, the coat being quite flat against the throat. .This gives a happy opportunity for tbe wearing of a little fur animal if the plainness of the line against one's skin ^does not happen to be extraordinarily becoming. Beige and many of tbe aistel* shades will be found to be an exceedingly good choice for fall, especially for those who have tired of, or who never did really care for. the eternal blacks and blues which women love to wear for street or afternoon. Then, when you add to the light tan tones something like jade with a touch of brightness, you are sure to gain an effect which will lift your frock out of the class of the usual, as much by reason of Its coloring as by Its cut and shaping. it has Deen proved that, .with these flowing gowns, the larger and mor* flowing hats are those that are mos> desirable, becoming and effect iv< They seem most nicely to carry out the scheme of the falling lines and they certainly help to bring that gown into correct harmony with otae'^ figure.

CELERY, CONSIDERED AT ONE TIME t AS NOVELTY. NOW IMPORTANT CROF ®SZ5aS2SES2SES2Sasa5ZS2SZSa52SH52SE525ESZS2SESM2SESa52SZSBS2S25E5Z5& (Pr»p»r«i by th« United StatM DtMitnM of Agriculture.) From a crop that was a novelty «««< served on the tables of only a few people to an industry that has produced as many as 17,000,000 crates in a year has been the development of celery production within the memory of many people now living. With the rapid Increase in the growing of the crop, methods of culture and marketing have materially changed, new diseases and pests have appeared, and a number of problems have arisen. Because of these new problems and difficulties, the United States Department of Agriculture has Just Issued Farmer^ Bulletin 1266, Celery Growing, by W. R. Beattle, In which are discussed the fundamentals of successful production. Including the best methods of growing and handling the crop. The crop can be grown on almost any type of soli if enough plant food is present and water Is supplied during the dry periods, but most of the successful celery-growing enterprises are on low-lying muck, or "hammock" soils. Under present-dsy conditions It _ls not practicable to depend entirely on manure as a fertilizer and large quantities of commercial fertilizer afe used, growers in the northeastern part of the country using from 1,400 to 1.- every seed can be relied upon ta pro* J i duce a good plant. Four ounees of . extra good seed is usually enough ta provide plants for an acre, but moat growers use eight to twelve ounces. In , three to five weeks after the early crop seed Is sown the plants are transplanted to trays, to greenhouse benches or to cold-frames, and later to the fields. For the later or standard crop the plants are usually grown s i in field beds. For the home garden 200 or "S09 plants can be started in a cigar box or in a wooden tray in the house, but as < a rule It is more economical to bny tba small number of plants needed. Special care Is needed during the first two weeks after the seed Is sown to see that the soil does not dry out and after the plants come up that they are not overwatered. There are many im- \ portent details to the setting of tba plants tn the field, but even the commercial fields are set by hand, though 'Ithe department suggests that there la no reason why a suitable machine for •>':• doing the work should not be denioped. Celery Is a moisture-loving plant, and it !s frequently necessary to em- . , ploy irrigation unless the soil Is oaturally moist. Three systems are em- v 900 pounds of high-grade plant food to ployed: The overhead sprinkler ays* fell Harvesting and Packing Celery in Field. the acre. Florida growers sometimes tem, the furrow or surface system, and use as much as three tons to the acre. But not all of the discussion is devoted to the commercial growing of celery. There is a chapter on producing the crop in the home garden, and many of the practices that have been developed are applicable no matter on What scale It is grown.. Copies of the new bulletin may be obtained free by writing to the United States Department Agriculture, Washington. Was Once a Luxury. Celery was once a fall and winter luxury associnted with turkey and cranberry sauce, but now It Is eaten during the entire year and the production of "early" celery has become a big business. Most of the commercial crop is grown in the region of the Great Lakes, and also in New Jersey and Massachusetts, In Florida and in California. The muck soils of the northwestern section are of the right texture, usually high in nitrogen but deficient in potash and phosphorus. In addition to muck soils, good crops are grown on level sandy loams, such as are found In the vicinity of Rochester, N. Y., In northeastern New Jersey, on Long island, and in many other localities. Commercial fertilizers used as a rule contain about 4 to 7 per sent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of phosphoric add, and 6 or 7 per cent of potash. The mixed fertilizer Is usually followed by one or two side dressings of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia during the growing period in the field. Where manure is used It is usually applied In the fall and plowed under, then returned to the surface In the spring by replowing, or is composted and spread DRAPING USED ON CREPE DRESSES tbp underground or sublrriga£ion ays- % t«n. It has "been found that the first $ of these 1b generally the most adapt- •" able. Since the plants are greatly in- Jured by wilting, successful growers ^ watch the soil moisture conditions closely and apply water before any ^ wilting of the leaves occurs. Some successful growers in the northeastern district do not use* irrigation. They ; depend upon having the soil in good condition and well supplied with or S# ganic matter, and upon thorough and " frequent cultivation. c '/Jj Celery Is subject to tht attacks ol diseases from seedbed to market I>amping-off is the principal danger in the seedbed, but this can usually be controlled satisfactorily by care not to overwaler and by giving plenty of ve» tilation. Plants in the field suffer from early and late blight, bacterial blight, Sclerotinta rot and black-heart. Then are rots that attack the product In storage or in transit. Blights spread rapidly during periods of moist and sultry weather, and even during bright weather, when the plants are growing rapidly, spraying Is necessary to be on the safe side. The storage blights ot rots usually have their origin in field diseases. Control Is based upon crop rotation and spraying with bordeaui mixture to prevent them. A reading of the, bulletin will give a understanding of the approved SMdt ods of control. Results of Experience. Tbe experience of many succeasfal growers and the results of experimental tests on blanching, harvesting, storing and shipping are given In conalderable detail. Although it is an expensive crop to grow and market, «wos< growers have paid little attention to cost accounting, and conditions vary so much from year to year and in dif ferent regions that it is difficult ts give figures of real value. The principal Items of expense are: Interest on investment, plowing and fitting tb« land, drainage and irrigation, fertilising, growing the plants, setting and cultivating, spraying, cost of boards oi paper used In blanching, labor, setting < osts and washing. It Is safe to assume, says the department, that tlM grower who is not making a profit ol from $200 to $300 an acre or more it falling short of his goal, but the onlj way to know what profit is being mad« is to keep a careful cost account U balance against the returns.

Seed Largely Imported ,v Most of the celery seed Is Whported, but there are a few producers of highgrade seed in the United States and some growers grow their own seed. The old idea was that strictly fresh seed is necessary, but recent experiments have shown that four-year-old seed gives greater freedom from disease and in many respects is prefers able to fresh seed. However, much depends upon the way the seed has been handled, as great changes of temperature reduce its vitality.
