wr , * ' ' • ' ,P, 'Jir, the' Warm Days I first wania dags often find as :|j|ulte unprepared in the matter of I Clothes. This is especially true after a | Cold, late spring such as the one Just J>assed, which offered little Incentive '*'* |o buying thin frocks. So, if we have , delayed in our shopping, writes a ;• prominent fashion correspondent, it means that we confront a real prob- * lem--that of getting a suitable warm Weather wardrobe together quickly. > We are realizing more and more the peed of the practical combined with ' beauty In our clothes. The sensible woman, however, never sacrifices v: beauty to the purely practical. In the : dark georgette crepe frocks we have |th is combination. No fabric has yet f. been able to supplant the good, substantial nary blue georgette crepe for wear on hot days, offering as it does f the advantages of coolness and light- ' aesa. There are those who. In their desire 'Jo help reduce the high cost of living, talk of the economy of gingham, but V; * gingham dress is never an economy *-rather it is a luxury to be enjoyed |n the country. In the first place, ging- ,, bams are anything but inexpensive, ;; *nd, furthermore, frocks made from | them require frequent and careful ; laundering,-which under existing con- 5 dltlons means constant additional ex- I i>ense. Even with the best of care they | never look quite the same after a visit | to the laundry. Real Organdie Flowers. I Although we have seen a great* deal J, ff taffeta during the last year. Its | glory has not yet been dimmed. We %ave had It combined with organdie " In an infinite number of ways, but no lovelier union of these two has appeared than Is seen in the models tbade entirely of silk and decked with ^••frage white organdie flowers applied i With long, loose stitches of dark thread. 5 Sthe flowers are not cut from flat tleces of the muslin, but are twisted eftly and shaped so that they are big ' and puffy. The pieces simulating * leaves are veined with the dark thread. In a dress of this sort the white appears also in the bodice in the form of ft front which extends over the skirt ftnd is bound with the dark blue taf- ! -feta. A white organdie bow at the back of the neck also is bound with | tblue. The short sleeves have a tiny 1 turned-back cuff of organdie worked with blue In a loose long and short Stitch. To wear In the late afternoon or as ftn informal summer evening dress nothing could be more suitable than the embroidered batiste robes which I bave again come into fashion. We have |>n these both solid and eyelet etn- ; broidery. The frocks themselves are just little stralghtline affairs which {end to show off the beauty of the Needlework. A great deal of care Is #xercised in the selection of sashes for tuch dresses. Wonderful ribbons are Chosen. The embroidered batiste robe la given further elaboration by the introduction of a lovely square mesh lace. A remarkable ribbon is used for the girdle. It is abept an inch wide and Of three shades "of blue, one running Into the other, giving the appearance - 0f three separate ribbons 'stitched together. t Another method of Introducing a bright-colored ribbon into an embroidered batiste robe is seen In a frock having cherry red satin ribbon with a rough surface starting at the neckline in the form of panels, flipping through medallions at the waistline and continuing down either tide of the front until they are caught under the hem. Another frock shows ribbon again featuring as the distinctive note. This Is interesting as a simple adaptation of the Egyptian style, which many people' have been Inclined to think of as representing elaboration only. Here a beautiful brocaded ribbon--dull red and silver--is used to give an Egyptian effect to the simplest and most practical sort of chiffon frock. Lac* With Batiste or Organdie It 4s Interesting to observe another way In, which lace and batiste are combined. Brown lace Is used for a chemise top cut Just like a long smock Embroidered Batista and Lace Robe to Waar in the Late Afternoon or as an Informal Summer Evening Dress. reaching to a low hlpllne. A double piece of ecru batiste Is attached to the bottom of the smock to make a straight skirt. Where the two are joined a garland of batiste flowers veined with brown is applied. A sash of narrow brown ribbon girdles the waistline. The same Idea might be carried out in lace and organdie. Brown lace with organdie of the same color but slightly lighter in shade Is effective, or lace may be dyed any color and used with white organdie. With the wonderful choice of ribbons that we have now a very distinctive effect may be given by the sash. Still another pleasing nse of brown Is seen In an evening frock. This la one of the dancing frocks, made with a somewhat high neck and cap sleeves, which are beginning to take the place of the extreme decolletage--another instance of the turning away from extravagance toward simpler things. The bodice and tunic of the skirt are composed of brown taffeta and the trim ming is tiny bows of the silk. The taf feta petals have an inch-wide edging of lighter brown tulle. Beneath the tunic are three tulle skirts, also cut in the form of petals. The first is of a very dark shade of brown overlaid with dull orange. There Is a narrow foundation skirt of silk, making in all four Bklrts. one above the other. Black Taffeta and Black Tulle Used "* Black taffeta and black tulle are »sed In a similar way. the only real difference being In the skirt, which Consists of four tiers of black tulle jtetals, so that the idea of the four fkirts Is carried out, but entirely In the net. The bodice Is plain almost to the point of severity. It is cut to flit the figure rather snugly and Crumple at the waistline. As In the black lace dresses brought out earlier tn the season and which still enjoy Considerable prentlge, a bit of bright folor is introduced by veiling scarlet llowers with net. The bodice boasts •f no trimming rther than a quaint little corsage bouquet, also bright red. Only the slender woman may aspire to the Cheruit evening frock, with Its billowing skirts composed of irregular loops of pink taffeta. These loop draperies, brought out by Cheruit farlier In the season, were looked upon by many as being exceedingly impractical. This, however, has not proved true. They have been eminently successful in evening things. Wraps, as 4vell as dresses, carry long loops of chiffon or silk. Like many new fash- Ions they have been slow in gaining popular favor, and It Is, after all, a credit to women's Judgment that they do not accept a new feature until they have given It due consideration. Tilese loop dresses, which, like the Egyptian things, were slow of acceptance, are likely to prove longtime favorites-- that is. they will be seen among the autumn fashions, so that the woman who in the spring bought clothes featuring such draperies finds them quite as fashionable now as they were earlier In the season. The Cheruit frock is developed in a wonderful shade of pliant pink taffeta. Here we see the Egyptian influence as well as the loop drapery. The very ion# bodice is girdled with a sash made by( twisting two vivldl* contrasting shades of pink tulle and knotting them in a huge bow at the back, the ends being allowed to trail off to several Inches below the hem of the skirt. A wispy bit of pink tulle edges the frill at the neck and a garland of flowers over one shoulder. Summer Brings Large Hats illdaeaaon Hats Wide Enough to 8hade *"d Help Milady ,U • serve Her Beauty. , ^ • Efrge hats are coming more and ' fnore into favor as hot weather approaches. The small hat for summer Is neither comfortable nor really becoming. Hats that shade the eyes a bit help a woman to preserve her beauty, according to the statement credited recently to a famous beauty whose good looks have endured so long that the secret of their preservation has become a matter of general Interest. Good health and good grooming,, she says, account for her fresh coloring, but her smooth skin ftnd beautiful, youthful eyes that are free of lines, she explains, are due to the fact that she has always worn a Jiat with a brim so she has never had to squint and wrinkle her face. be- • frcuse of a torturing sun glare. Interesting, If prae! 1 *• My event, large hats are always liked for summer and this year some especially attractive ones are being shown. Organdie hats and those made of dotted swIss have been discussed many times. Many models may be copied at home. The all black, large transparent hat is to be a favorite for dress wear this summer, according to millinery reports. Te Mend Tern Veil. A veil which has a hole or two In it need not be thrown away.

COST MILLIONS • Mr. <" ; _____ Butterfly Does Immense Damage to Alfalfa Fields of Different Western States. v STRIP LEAVES FROM PUNTS Chickens, Turkeys and Many Birds Destroy Worms During Feeding Stage--Bollworm Devours Both Worms and Pupa. (Prepared by the United Btatea Department of Agriculture.) "What S beautiful creature!" exclaimed a farm visitor, indicating a gorgeous yellow butterfly which had alighted upon a nearby shrub and now raised and lowered his black-edged wings In slow, graceful palpitations. The Insect appeared to be the very spirit of the hot summer day; his colors were the colors and shades of brilliant sunshine and the deepest, blackest shadow, set in a delightful contrast; and Its will was the will of the breeze that stirred the broad alfalfa meadows beyond the garden, where host and guest had retired to enjoy the shade. Appreciation Dampened.' "Beautiful--yes," responded the rancher, "but my appreciation is somewhat dampened by the knowledge that the pretty creature costs the alfalfa growers of Arizona and California about $1,000,000 a year. What this butterfly costs in other states--Kansas Oklahoma, Texas and others-- Tm unable to say, but it must be an Immense sum. Rather a high price to pay for beauty, isn't it? We could endow a good many art galleries with that sum; we could beautify our schools and hang Rembraudts in every classroom, If there were enough of them to go around. We could bring thousands of the city children out Into the fresh air and sunshine, if we bad the price of that yellow fellow and his mate." "How does he accomplish all this?" asked the Interested listener. 'It's a harsh Indictment to lay against a creature so apparently lacking In malice. Tell me about him; where does he come from; how does he live, and what are his peculiarities?" The rancher rose, stepped through the hedge, and came back with a handful of alfalfa, freshly pulled from the nearby field. "You can find out all you wish to know from Farmers' Bulletin 1094, Just published by the United States department of agriculture, but I think we have his life history and a catalogue of bis crimes In this bunch of herbage. "Here's the egg," he continued, Indicating a tiny, brownish, elongated object upon the upper side of an alfalfa leaf. "That's the first stage, and is Interesting only because the female butterfly lays from 200 to 500 of them tn her lifetime. It has been estimated that if all the eggs of a single female butterfly hatched--and there were no losses tn the progeny, or in their eggs or young--this first butterfly would be grandmother to 3,000,000.000 insects before the enjl of the summer. "Fortunately for us an Insect parasite destroys a good many of the eggs. Alfalfa Caterpillar---Female in Adult • or Butterfly 8tage. Here's ft" ruined egg--it's black, you see, Instead of brown; the, parasite has been there. Million-Dollar Damage. "Next is the larva, or worm stage; and It is this form that the alfalfa caterpillar does The million-dollar damage. A number of these worms will strip most of the leaves from a crop in a very short time. Here Is a small worm evidently Just hatched, and here on this bud is a larger one. Note the green color of Its body and the white stripe down each side. He Is nearly an inch long and has made his growth by gorging upon the tender leaves and terminal *buds of my alfalfa. Wherever there is an unusually large number of these worms, they will eat the stems, too, but their favorite food is the tender portion of the plant. "While |n this stage, the larva Is victim of many conditions and is preyed upon by many creatures. A<»fly lays Its eggs upon the worm. These hatch Into grubs which penetrate and kill their host. Chickens, turkeys and many birds destroy the worm during the feeding stage. "Moisture and a hot, heavy atmosphere will induce the spread of a disease among the worms. See, here are worms Just afflicted with the disease note the lighter color of tlieir skins and their sluggish movements. In a few hours they'll die and decompose into, a black decaying mass. You can understand why alfalfa hay loses Its feeding value* if it is heavily impregnated with these corpses--the animals don't like the flavor. "But the conditions that foster this disease are valuable in controlling the pest. Upon Irrigated farms, water may be turned into the field to provide moisture which, with the heat, will start the plague and kill the worms. "From this stage the worm enters the pupa period. He spins no cocoon, as many caterpillars do, but hangs himself, head up, among the stems and swings in a little loop of silk, like a steeple-jack--see this chap! "You've heard of the bollworm--so Injurious to corn and cotton? He comes fo oar aid In the fight against tfce alfalfa caterpillar, and, by one of those queer natural compensations, does_ us * favor by devouring feeta worms and pupa. Odd, isn't It? Lay Eggs All Summw. \ t "Unless the worn Is destroyed, the butterfly you have admired emerges from the pupa in a few days and begins to lay eggs to establish a new cycle. This goes on all summer. "Control is accomplished by cutting alfalfa close and clean. We clear out our fence corners and ditches, and cooperate with our neighbors in clearing their land. This leaves no shelter for the caterpillar to live in from one alfalfa crop to the next, and the few which do survive find food mighty scarce, and many perish of starvation. "Disking with a harrow over the meadows after a crop has been moved destroys many of the insects in the egg, worm or pupa stage. Besides killing A Parasite of the Alfalfa Caterpillar. the insects which are preparing to ravage the next crop, the disking process, as every one knows, is a mighty good thing for the alfalfa. "We also use a brush drag well weighted and run it over the alfalfa meadows after the disking is done. The drag gets into the hollows and crevices where the harrow has not touched and crushes the insect in whatever stage it finds him. Even "If the first cut has been ruined by the pest, these methods of Irrigation and cultivation will Insure the reduction of the caterpillar In time to save the next cutting from his attacks. "These methods are recommended by the department of agriculture, and we hope to prevent most of the annual loss caused by the activities of yonder tat* terfly." CONTROL OF CABBAGE WORMS Paris Green or Lead Arsenate Applied as Spray Is Recommended aa Efficacious. The cabbage worm is probably the worst of all the pests that bother cabbage. It and the white butterfly, which is its parent, are well known. The butterflies are on the win# from early morning until dusk. They appear in the early spring, and usually are more or less common until frost. The eggs which they lay hatch in from four to eight days, and the larva or worm eats voraciously and grows rapidly. The best remedy is parts green or lead arsenate applied as a spray, starting in when the cabbages are so small as to prevent the worms from getting Into the heads of the cabbages. This sauying should continue until tbe heads are at last half grown. BEST PRACTICE WITH CLOVER Crop Should Be Cut When Seed Is in Oetigh--Chaff Makes Good Bedding for 8took. The clover should be,cut when the seed Is In the dough, and when well cured raked up early In the morning and put under cover. It is the practice with some growers to let the clover after it is cut remain in the swath for several weeks; there Is a loss of seed if the weather should be wet. The better method Is after the clover Is well cured to haul to barn or barrack and have the seed hulled out when the weather is cold and dry. The clover chaff makes excellent bedding for stock. It is a good practice to top-dress the grain with the chaff. INFESTATION OF HESSIAN FLY As Result of Many Wheat Growers : Plftntlng Too Early Last Fall Outbreak Is Likely. A shortage of farm labor and finfavorable weather conditions at planting time combined to influence many wheat growers in planting their grain too early last fall. This has resulted in a. heavy infestation of Hessian fly in about all of the early planted wheat of laRt fall. Unless winter wheat growers can be Induced to unite in a concerted movement to observe the approved methods of combating the Hessian fly during the summer and fall of 1920, it seems that a disastrous general outbreak of the pest very probably wfH occur in 1921. SPLEN01D GARDEN RESULTS Attractive Place Where All 8pace la Devoted to Cultivated Crops During Entire Season. It Is simply wonderful what a common farm garden of rich soil will grow in one season If all of the soil Is kept busy all the time. Where all the space Is run to cultivated crops through the growing season the garden is an attractive place, and no part of It becomes hard and baked in dry weather, as where patches are neglected after the first short crops have been harvested.

IP Name "Bayer" on Genuine GERMAN "ACES" IN LOVE DUEL IN AIR Battle for Hand of Young Dresden Actress at Altitude of 5,000 Feet Dresden.--The old order of "pistols and coffee for two" has changed to "Fokkers for two," for the aerial duel Is the latest form of winning the hand of the fair lady. The first aerial duel was fought recently in Germany, two German air "aces," Lieutenant* Hart- , Von Pels' Machine Crashed to the Earth. man and Von Fels fighting desperately for the hand of Grete Felsner, a pretty Dresden actress. Hartman and the young woman were secretly engaged when Von Fels came upon the scene. He paid court so openly that a quarrel between the two men followed. Von Fels, an expert duelist, challenged Hartman and the challenge was accepted. The girl, realizing that her fiance would have little chance for his life In an ordinary duel, and knowing him to be an expert aviator, proposed a novel departure from the usual field of honor--a duel in the air. The Idea met with Instant favor and tbe seconds arranged for details for the first aerial duel. The duel was to be fought at an altitude of 5,000 feet, the contestants firing through their propellers until one was downed. The first time the machines came within range of each other, neither avfator was harmed. The Fokkers turned and again dashed at each other and this time Von Fels' machine crashed to the earth. An Inquiry was instituted and Is still In progress. The affair was so bafflingly novel that t^,e military Jurists are in a quandary. The young woman, who was the cause of the duel, left the town hurriedly and Hartman was cheated, temporarily, at least, of the prize for which he had risked his life.

New Orleans, La.--A wedding ceremony In St. Louis cathedral was postponed several hours because the officiating priest. Father Antolne, declared the bride was Immodestly attired and violated a recent order of Archbishop Shaw of New Orleans relative to wearing apparel. The priest declared the bride ajipeared to him "so shocking that he had the sexton put out the lights so that she might retire and properly clothe herself." Although he declined to divulge the name of the bride, he declared she "wanted to fly In society style at her wedding, much to her disgrace." Everything had been prepared for the wedding and the bridegroom was In the edifice. The altars were ablaz« with candles and the electric lights 1ft every part of the ancient cathedral were lighted. The bride started up the main aisle, but had not gone far before the priest viewed the gown, ordered the lights out, and sent her home to assume other garments.
