J" The theme that caught the cttiuflon ?t these style conventions was color, t is a sort of slogan not only for moment, but for the days to come. ""?#£>eslgn, line, method are all important ' |n their latest variants, but we have vsUi apparently gone on a long spree. It the thing uppermost In the thought Afternoon Dtoss of Royal Blue, With Velvet Ribbon at Waistline. Of ettsry promoter, from whichever end he approaches the subject. Fabrics and styles for the summer having been established. It is the mode for next autumn that Is being hown ' In so many engaging models. There are the woolens, velvets and silks illustrated by the moat prominent couturiers on both sides of the ocean In (rocks and suits and coats, giving one a peep into the season far ahead, but acting also as a gauge by which to check up the present styles. The designs already accepted will have some sequel In the fashions that are to follow those of the summer. Their genuine points may be traced in the creations that carry on. The acid test will apply most of all to color. Fabric is first of all a matter of season, though all tradition has been left out of the scheme In the latest materials, since the mood Is for silk, satin and crepe. Any, in fact, of the allk variants. In these a wider horizon, a deeper sense of color, Is painted from beauty and Importance to just clothes, transiting them Into creations. Worn the inception of a type to Its realized form, it Is now, as never before In the history of fashion, a problem of harmony In form and proportion, but most of all in color. Among the fashion plates presented by the artists who are drawing for the future, the advance fashions for next autumn are many of great distinction. It is safe to predict soft woolens of the quality of *kasha. of flannei-like twlils and of the kid finish goods, like and yet unlike duvetyne. These for frocks and suits and coats, and for wraps are of such materials or of velvet, lined with one or the new printed silks of the Cinderella type--the silhouette, modern floral, geometric or other tracery patterns. Those which give merely a hint of the wealth of ideas that will later find expressions In models designed by the world's foremost creators will share popularity with rich satin and surah. For gowns of the softer type for both day and evening, there are tho luxurious silks and velvets of subtle feeling, luscious quality and enchanting colors. A multi-colored. embossed velvet on a chiffon ground reflecting the richest tones of the Orient with the softer shades, monotone and twotone velvets. Roman stripes, moresque, arabesque, cubist, and bold conventionalized flower and leaf motifs. In contrast to these are small 'innocent" designs as One, as deli cats and aa Intricate as a mosaic. Harmony la 8ought. The simple expression ensemble, borrowed from the French authorities in style, embodies the Idea cf artistic costuming of the present day. The plan of so combining materials that three pieces, gown, bodice and wrap, would appear aa one complete outfit. Is being reflected In many other Items of dress. Now much thought, taste and discrimination are given to hat. shoes, hosiery, scarf, gloves, neckwear. There is no longer any hlt-or-mlas In the designing of a costume; It ta a matter of harmony, with a definite type in view, and individuality Is more Important now than ever. Shoes are of especial importance this season, with a gratifying tendency toward simplicity to carry out the mode In dress. Generally speaking, fancy shoes, the extremely low cut, tho shoe of many straps and of fancy dotall are passe. The oxford, high-cot pump and the single-strap shoe for general occasions are shown by the best bootmakers, and for afternoon and evening are the sandal of satin or suede. At Paris the beige-colored shoe for both afternoon and evening ia considered very smart and Is already popular on this side. Gray shoes are again In style, and quite new modes in black are shown. One is the black shoe in colralal pump, plain oxford or strap model, trimmed with colored leather, gray or tan beige, blue or green, to be worn with the ensemble costume. It Is this narrow Una of color which draws the footwear Into enaemble harmony. Plain black la less seen this season except for service, although there Is a decided vogue of patent leather in the dressier street shoos and for afternoon, because the glaco finish 1s well adapted to the fancy bucklea the' are so decorative. Certain motifs Introduced In the advance styles In dress materials are shown also In the latest shoes from Paris. The cubist, the silhouette, the geometric, all of the patterns that relate to the so-called "modernistic" tendency, are presented by some of the more enterprising designers. These are aeen. of course, In the satin brocades, the metallzed or gold and silver leathers fancifully traced In contrasting color, or Iridescent tint* - N»ot "OnC It Man Who Ktept Hi• Head Take It from ye pastor: Some great things may have been accomplished by excitement or detention, or wild Impulse, but you needn't be particularly wise or observing to know that moat is accomplished by the man who retains his mental poise; "keeps his head," I once saw a weak swimmer become exhausted while beyond his depths, and saw a strong swimmer go readily to his rescue. The drowning man forgot what he knew, that It Is easy to carry another in water, if the one carried submits willingly and Intelligently. Therefore a struggle followed when the two met. In which a double tragedy was averted only by the fact that the strong swimmer kept his head, fought better and knocked out his opponent, after which he carried him to shore. Had both been cool, it would have been easy and had both become excited. It would have been impossible. And the rule applies as well to the other than physical trouble. The fate which seems to have you down and out can be thwarted if you "keep your head." If you do the best you know. Instead of merely wasting time in useless worry and anger. And this trait or habit will stand cultivation which will bring It within the range of possibilities even for Impulsive, nervous or weak kneed persons.--Arkansas Thomas Cat. a fuiier palette than has ever given Shoes for Sports Are in All Colorf With summer at hand the demand la for sports shoes and for those of lighter weight and color to fit the street dress of the season. For town and even for general country wear light leathers are very popular, tan, gray, beige and all the pastel shades; tan In the pale yellow tint more than ever. And white is. of course, the universal summer sports shoe. White shoes and stockings are worn with all manner of light-colored summer frocks, as well as with the all-white costume. The styles In these were introduced at Palm Beach and other southern resorts during the winter, with a few conspicuous novelties. Some of the most attractive were white shoes, trimmed with colors--usually the pastels. These were seen at the continental resorts. A white shoe combined with beige or trimmed with beige is considered most chic. For the woman who goes in for the more strenuous sportp activities there are new but slightly changed models in the shoes that are worn for golf and ' tennis, the comfortable, practical, rubber- sole, fiat-heel affairs, some of which are distinguished with a tooeh of black or colored leather. And for the long hike or long wear there Is tho Peel oxford, so popular In England, which Is finding an increased clientele among sportswomen In this country. Leaving' the costume as a whole, the ensemble fancy is reflected In many charming groups of the smaller things. With an evening gown of flesh-tinted chiffon which is appliqued at intervals with larger silk flowers of a deeper shade having centers of silver and crystal beads are worn slippers of silver leather embroidered with hinds Evolution of Horte Proved by Skeletonf Scientists of a recent geological expedition sent to Texas by the American Museum of Natural History (New York) have discovered in rocks more than 1,000,000 years old the fossil skeleton of a horse in one of Its ancestral stages of evolution. In the evolution of the horse the nearly found specimen represents an Intermediate stage between the type called Pliohippus and the early Ice-age horse called Equus. It Is smaller than the modern horse. While the fossil horse discovered Is almost the earliest one-toed horse, long before the day of Pliohippus there had existed quite a number of more primitive or less evolved forms of the horse. For example. If we go back to the Eocene epoch, when the ancestor of the horse was no larger than a cat, we discover that be had four toes on his fore feet and three on his hind feet The subsequent evolution of the horse is most clearly marked by the gradual loss of all of these toes, except the single toe on which our modern horses walk. American Colony American Samoa, comprising the islands of Tutlia, Aunuu and others, has an area of 57.9 square miles; population- of 8,824, including 266 Americans. The capital Is Pago Pago on the Island of Tutila. This town Is the most valuable harbor in the South Pacific. It was ceded In 1872 by the native king to the United States as a naval and coaling station. American Samoa Is 4,160 miles from San Francisco. The natives are Christians and are regarded as the highest type of the Polynesian race. All of the land of the Islands Is privately owned. The chief product is coconuts.

Fable Worth Romomboring A crow, half-dead ijlth thirst, came upon a pitcher which had once been full of water; but when the crow put Its beak Into the mouth of the pitcher he found that only very little water was left in It, and that he }could not reach far enough down to get at it He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give up In despair. Then a thought came to him, and he started dropping pebbles, one by one, into the pitcher. At last, he saw the water mount up near him; and after casting in a few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst and aave his life. Little by little gets results.--Aesop's Fables.

This la given first attention by every one, from manufacturer to modiste^ and is known as -wedding satin." Fashion swings away to other materials. Many are artlatlc and modish. But wedding satin, with lta alabaster loveliness. Us grace and etateliness, endure. Its antiquity has not deterred representative designers of Paris from creating in plain ivory satin some of tbelr most successful models for this season's brides. For a wedding Jean Patou has done two particularly important gowns. Bach Illustrates a distinctive mode. In one the dress itself is plain almost to severity, a semi-princess design, bateau neck and long sleeves. The conspicuous feature of this design Is s flounce of point d'Alencon lace, which crosses the front of the gown In a i straight line just below the waist mark and dropa at each side ta a soft cas- •cad* fallowing the ham ot the wy _ V r " • long train.

Lace Comes Into Prominence This Is truly a lace season. l.ace Is used not only for dresses, coats end millinery, but even tr trim accessories. Lace in black and white, and in colon, is now betug used for summer evening wraps. Sometimes they are for trimmed, and very often appliqued silk flowers are employed for an b^tmt Ing decorative treatment.

C. the Carthaginians saw windmills In the valley below and there Is legendary Information that they were brought from the Orient by the Crusaders. They were well established In the country around Paris In the Twelfth century and shortly after that time were put In use In the Netherlands. They were known In the days of Cervantes, who gave them a place of soma distinction In his writings. Good Individual* Should Have First Consideration of Dairyman. kr th« United StttN DtnrtBMl of Afrkaltsr*.) Good Individuals of whatever breed la selected should have flrsj consideration by the man about to launch himself Into the dairy business, says the United States Department of Agriculture. As between breeds, there are three points that should be considered: (1) The breed that predominates In the locality where the new herd la to be located; (2) personal preference, and (S) market req^kwmenta for the product. Number of Advantages. There are a number of advantages to a dairyman In having the same breed as his neighbors, says the bureau of dairying of the department. A dairyman Just starting with pure breds may feel that since his neighbors have one breed of cattle, he ; ahould get another breed so as to have a monopoly In the business of selling breeding stock. There Is no question about the monopoly, says the bureau, but there would be no business to monopolize. It Is difficult for an Isolated small breeder to dispose of his stock to advantage, while If there are many breeders with the same breed, buyers are attracted to the locality because of the better chance to get the desired animals from one or more of the several breeders. Other advantages In having the same breed as the neighbors are the opportunity to exchange bulls, or to own good bulls co-operatively; to take advantage of breed sales of surplus stock, and lastly, the advantage of bringing the community together In other endeavors which usually result where there Is but one breed. Because a man will usually do best with a breed that he likes. It Is well to give this personal preference the right of way when there Is no other breed already established, providing, however, that Just aa high-quality animals are available In the preferred breed as In some other breed. Harket requirements for the product should not be overemphasised, says the bureau, for the reason that these requirements may fluctuate from one year to another, and obviously, the dairyman cannot change breeds with every change of market requirements. Summing Up Matter. In summing up the matter of which breed to select, the bureau says this point should be kept In mind--there are good cows and poor cows In all breeda, and, other thtnga being equal, the breeder or dairyman who gets good Individuals to begin with will have a good chance for success, no matter what breed he selects. The several breeds recognised as dairy breeds in the United States are the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Dutch Belted, Guernsey, Holsteln-Frleslan, and Jersey. Although much alike In what is known as general dairy conformation, these breeds differ to some extent in certain characteristics. What these characteristics are, the factors to consider In selecting a breed, and the history and origin and development of the breeds, are questions of interest to both the beginner and the established breeder of dairy cattle. These topics are discussed In a new bulletin lsxued tyr the bureau of daltT* lng as Farmers' Bulletin 1448. A copy of this bulletin may be had free of charge, as long as the supply lasts, upon request, from the United States Department of Agriculture^ Washington.

Now the majority of dealers are discriminating between the hens of the egg breeds and those of the general purpose and meat breeds. They are paying a premium for the heavier meated fowls for the reason that they make a plumper and therefore a higher-priced carcaea. A good many people aay that cooperative marketing la tho reason for the added attention to grades. Othera say that the regulations which have been advanced by the different departments of agriculture are responsible. Others say that the closer competition Is making It necessary to buy on grade. Perhapa all of <mae. reasons are correct. At least all of then are partly responsible for the movement However, there Is still a good deal of confusion on account of grades not being standardized. The United States bureau of markets has worked out a system of grades which will no doubt help In standardising the different grades as they are adopted. The tendency to buy and sell OB grade should receive the support of all poultry Interests. A quality product always outsells a poorer product and the good stuff should not carry the burden of making a market for that of low grade that few cue to buy. mt MM mmia *»»»»»»» DROWNS AS SISTER ATTEMPTS RESCUE Little Girl /« Saved Only bj FriendV HeroUm.

Four farm boys of East Baton Rouge pariah, Louisiana, have placed bogs of Improved type on 81 farms in their own parish In three years by means of the four gilts . with which they started boys' club work. In addition, according to report! to the United States Department of Agriculture, they have sold breeding stock In eight neighboring parishea and an adjoining state. These young stockmen, Hermon Alford, Archie Robinson, Rupert Johnaon and Archie Fitzgerald, bought their gilts in 1922, obtaining money for the purchases on their personal notes, which were Indorsed by their fathers and business men of the county Interested in the boys' progress. One of the boys also bought a pure bred. With the aid of the agricultural extension agent who conducted the club, they began feeding and caring for their pigs by the best methods known in swine management. The young pigs responded by growing into strong, healthy hogs in record time. In 1823 the boys raised 62 pigs from their four sows. This year, too, the boar was shown st a number of fairs and won a state champtonshlp in open class. The 1024 season was equally successful. Because the club members sre conscientiously following the advice of the extension agent and will sell for breeding purposes only the stock which comas up to a standard In type, they have established a reputation aa a source of good hogs. Their batcher stock commands top prices because of Its high quality. The business side of the enterprise has also been successful. The boys were able to pay their notes promptly and have made a net profit of $1,018 from sale of stock, with a number of cash prizes In addition. Two of the older boys have entered the atate agricultural college and are paying their expenses through their dab work. Alfalfa Sown in August Should Be Seeded Alone When seeded in August, alfalfa ahould be sown alone, that la, without a nurse crop. Whenever there Is a sufficient amount of moisture In the soil at that time of year to cause rapid germination of the aeed. It Is easier to get a stand without interference from weeds than in the spring, whether the alfalfa be sown alone or with a nurse crop.

Murder Confeeeion Bared After 80 Year§ Ithaca, N. Y.--The fate of a woman who disappeared some eighty years ago became known by a statement made public by Miss Amelia Crum explaining the disappearance of Mrs. Edward H. Ruloff, wife of a man who was hanged In Blnghamton for the murder of a store clerk. It waa always understood that Ruloff died on the gallows denying that he could explain his wife's disappearance. But the criminal, prior to his execution, did confess to his lawyer that he had murdered his wife and had sunk her body in Cayuga lake, near Taughannock falls. He placed the body In a chest and weighted It with Iron. It was never found. RulofTs Iswyer, on his deathbed, related the confession to Landon D. Crum, a cousin to Mrs. Ruloff and father of Miss Amelia Crum. Interest in the mystery waa recently aroused by the discovery of a woman's skeleton by excavators near the new State Agriculture college. The theory that It was that of Mrs. Ruloff was disproved when several other skeletons were found, Indicating a forgotten graveyard. However, the talk Induced Miss Crum to make her statement clearing up the ancient mystery, all the partlea concerned In it being now dead. A daughter of Ruloff, who disappeared at the same time her mother did, had been given away by the unnatural father, he confessed. She was brought up In Philadelphia, and later married a government employee In Waahlngton.

Good Fleeces and Lambs Are Always Profitable Profitable sheep production, depends largely upon the ability of the ewes in the flock to produce good fleerrand to raise strong, vigorous lam ? Proper feeding of the ewes prior u< lambing and during the suckling period will go far toward Insuring these returns. Experiments at the Ohio Experiment station have shown that when ^1)0 ewes are In good thrifty condltloo heavy grain feeding prior to lambing la uneconomical and does not Increase the efficiency of the ration. A light grain allowance, however, is to be strongly recommended even though legume hay and corn silage make up a large part of the dally feed for the ewes. Fine wool breeding ewes fed one-third to one-half pound of grain oer head dally In addition to legume C, and corn silage yielded strong lambs and had an abundant supply of milk. After lambing, the grain allowance ahould be Increased sufficiently to maintain the condition of the ewes as far as possible and to insure a good flow of milk. When the lambs have learned to eat grain, and they should always have a creep where they can eat without Interference, the grain allowance of the ewes can be somewhat reduced without reducing the effld- «qr of the ration. " v'flsL ' Diversity of Crops A diversity of crops makes possible better utilization of farm labor and provides feed for live stock. In choosing the crops to be grown, only those that are of major Importance should be Included. Usually not more than flve or six crops should be grown and these should be chosen so that tbey will provide labor throughout the season, give a cash crop, and pcovidm feed for the live stock.
