No wonder that cottons are so vastly important, for the present wartime way of living calls for sturdy serviceable duration fabrics, and cottons are just that. When it comes to economy, practicality, versatility and attractiveness, made more so by the intriguing styling designers are giving them, cotton fashions offer the best clothes investment one can make in these days of high patriotism and earnest endeavor. Not only are cottons economical in purchase price, but they don't have -to be jpampered, as most of them can be tossed into the family washing machine with minimum time and effort, and many of them require little or no pressing. It is just such practical qualities as this Which make cottons absolutely essential to our wartime way of living. The American public itself confirms this by having used during the past year 12 billion yards of cottons, which is 50 per cent more than in normal times. Let's take a look at, this season's cottons, which make practical wearability, serviceability and simplicity of line their plea. It's the unusualness of the cottop fabrics themselves that's making big news. There's denim, for example, ordinary kitchen-drudgery, farm-labor denim, suddenly becoming the toast of the elite as smartest-ever fabric lor city sophisticates to wear. Made up in town suits, in skirts to team with dainty blouses, and in Victory garden work clothes, denim has certainly gone on parade. Then there's news in striped ticking, looking as Clean and fresh and eye-appealing in tailored modes as you please. Cotton tweeds, too, in stunning large pastel plaids as well as conservative glen plaids look new and exciting. Other popular cottons include gabardine, Bedford cord, seersucker, gingham, chambray (especially in gray), and a giant waffle pique known as "Quiltweve," many of them as beautifully tailored as the best of woolens. For softer afternoon types there are crinkled.organdies, voile, eyelet batiste, dotted swiss and pique, and a new cotton mesh which is cool and good looking. Dinner types prevail among evening gowns, which tend toward the swet young styles in glazed chintz, flowered sateen, J organdie, as well as pique. ; j The theme of these few para-1 graphs, however, have to do with 1 practical workaday fashions, such i as the white-collar gingham frock centered in the group. It's a type tuned to marketing and kitchen duty and even town wear, if your storl j is on summer schedule. The dres. is easy to adjust because it's fu! from the yoke and ties to fit with the sash. You can get it in red j green or brown woven cotton checks j Victory garden workers have dis covered that cotton play suits an i just about the most practical thin j they can wear while digging am hoeing and weeding.

You can get these suits made of glazed chintz, percale, poplin or gingham. Women who work also want slack 1 suits of denim, gabardine, covert, corduroy and seersucker. . j Released by Western Newspaper Union. 'THAT tray °' *ce ** i08* waitin' to be emptied; it's the easiest tip-over I ever saw." Joe's shifty eyes steadied for a moment with eni thusiasm, as he drove this point home to the two girls on the back seat of his automobile. "I was in that joint a while back stalling about buying old gold, and I got the layout. It's like this: The man that runs the jewelry store is old and slow. He doesn't do much business out there in the suburbs, and we can pick a time when there won't be customers to gum things up. I haven't figured out why, but he carries a good stock of diamonds He keeps 'em in a big safe in the back room. He unlocks that safe in the morning and just keeps the door closed during the day. "It'll take both you girls,'" he continued. "We'll all drive up to the front and park. Then Dot and me will go in and tell him we're just married and want to look at sorr.e silver. While we're givin' it, the. onceover, Ethel, you come in and tell me you think gas is leaking out of the car; I go out to see, understand, and you stay to helfl Dot make up her. rnind about the silver, It'll be a cinch for you two g:il£ to keep him busy while I $l'<p in the back, and dump that tray of diamonds." "Listens good to me," Jjtthel agreed. Joe reached into his pocket. VHere are the rings. Got 'em at the department store. Pretty good imitations, at that. The old fellow won't know the difference, unless you stick 'em under his nose." There was a wistful expression in Dot's eyes, as she slowly slipped the circlets upon the proper finger of her left hand. "Now, let's get our spiels down pat," the director of the little drama suggested. ' (By Mr?- Arthur Klein) -Everett Hiller, sou of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Here yoli see a gown pictured that is sleeved most intriguingly with new-type flaring capelike sleeves with scallops daintily appliqued with cutout petals of the very fine rayon chiffon in fresh periwynkle blue, and white print which fashions the entire dress. This season's sheer rayon prints were never prettier, and for warm summer days they make {he dress ideal. This most attractive dinner gown is of the now-so-fashionable short length. _ „ The Farmer's Wife Gets Smart Prints It seems that big mills are continuing to turn out many colorful prints on bag sheetings sold on priorities for feed bags, Using old rollers as they do, the sheeting is apt as not to be printed in designs that once held forth on some of fash ion's most style-minded cottons Women on tbe farm are collecting, these bags which count up into numbers, converting them into fashion? for the family. The fact thatj '£. craze for home-sewing is sweeping the country plays right into tin hands of willing seamstresses. Thei too, pattera-makers are making it a point to create styles of simplicity that can easily be made at home. The trio had parked in front of the jewelry store, and their plan was starting out nicely. The place was deserted, except for the squat proprietor who peered over his spectacles at the boy and Dot as they entered. , Dot made an excellent bride. There was a gentle, dreamy expression in her eyes. "We just got married," she explained in a sweet little voice, "and we want to look at some silver." "That's fine," returned the jeweler, and all the glow of his kindly smile did not arise from the prospect of a sale. "What's your name, now?" he inquired mischievously. Joe had thought of that, too, and, "Mrs. Samuel E. Henderson," slipped glibly off Dot's tongue. The newly-weds did not notice it, but the old man suddenly appeared to be a trifle sleepy as he directed them to the cases of silverware. "What are the prices of this pat- 1 tern?" Dot inquired. "I'll have to look them up," was the reply. The jeweler waddled to his desk nearby and began rummaging among papers there. He studied a list for a minute or two, and returned to quote prices. Dot was trying to drive close bar- ; gains when Ethel entered with her message and joined Dot Li badgeri ifig the proprietor for further dis- j i counts. • | ; Then Joe was back with the sug- * gestion, "Maybe we had better look !

Professor 'Says Use of Oven for Canning Costly Use of the oven method for canning is one of the prime causes of spoiled home canned foods, according to Dr. William V. Cruess, professor of fruit technology and chemist. He pointed out hazards which may arise from heating jars of food in an oven instead of the* usually recommended pressure cooker or pot. "First, as air is a very poor conductor of heat," he indicated, "the jars and contents heat extremely slowly and very unevenly. Fruits canned by this method may not be heated enough to prevent browning in the jars by enzyme action. "Secondly, the contents do not rise above the boiling point, 212 degrees F., regardless of what the oven thermometer may" say, because when the boiling point is reached the natural laws of physics prevent the temperature from rising. Non-acid foods should reach 239 to 250 degrees F. to remove the danger of botulism, fatal food poisoning." Another hazard, Dr. Cruess pointed out, is that jars, if sealed, may burst, with possible injury to the housewife. Dehydrated Foods Big Item in Marine's Fare Since transportation space is one of the biggest problems for supply officers, dehydrated foods are used as much as possible in marine field kitchens. Dehydrated foods have been developed to such a degree that most of the time they can not be detected {rom fresh foods. Powdered eggs with bacon~and powdered milk with hot or cold cereal, along with canned fruit, constitute the usual breakfast. Coffee remains the favorite morning beverage. Potatoes are the staple vegetab for dinner and supper, with besrfis and corn competing for second place. A condensed form of butter "which /omes in tins and is nonperishable supplements every meal. Canned fruit is the usual dessert. Bread, made by a special tropical formula, is rationed six ounces per man daily. Orangeade and lemonade, made from crystals, and grape ifrni grapefruit juices are , usually served once a day as a precaution against beri-beri and scurvy. Dysentery and diarrhea, World War I bogeys, are held to a minimum. First Use of A. D. The first reference and use of Anno Domini is believed to have been made by Reginald, l^ng of the Isle of Man, in 1219, in a document rendering allegiance to the pope. 100% WAR WORK - • v . .
