And yet compared with the part that nature plays in the process, man's work ••ems a very slight labor. For instance, It takes about 20 inches of rainfall to grow a food crop under our general farming methods, which means About 2,260 tons of water to the acre. That seems a preposterous figure, but the doubter can easily demonstrate Its correctness.

Constantinople.--The arranging of marriages between Russian princes and well-to-do American women is the latest scheme advanced here by an ingenious Russian to get a livelihood for workless, penniless refugees living on American and other charity. It is argued that the American woman would, in addition to the title, make a good business bargain, since the exiled Russian noblemen all have Making Bist of President Harding •••*: • *rxirj-s>~ m -ti m - Airs.

Many Russians have open minds onJ the marriage question. Many o^the I refugee Russian women have marrried ! Turks since their arrival here, in or- . der to get temporary homes. The I Russian men have followed suit. Many of the older ones have married QrecU wotoen. And Ags Has Its Wsddtnga. "Youth hv its follies, age Its stupid- Wtes," said a Russian general, no longer young, when Inviting a friend to his wedding. The difficulty of locating these American wives across the seas is not one to stump -the imaginative Russian mind, which readily adapts Itself to the lighter branches of commerce, and has succeeded here with cafes, beauty parlors, manicure and tea shops, concert halls and public grounds. The first and* only bathing pavilion near here has been established at Plorla beach, oh the Marmora sea, by a group of Georgian princesses, through the loan nt American Bad Cross tents. M«n' Are Oufsl Luelt. The condition of Russian aen refugees here Is bad, as there are few inf. dustries or factories to provide work. Recently the French government cut off Its food rations to several thousand men, though still feeding a certain number of children, women and old men. It is hard for them to get passports to go to other countries, Serbia has aceeptcA some 20,000, but her leniency to refugees is finding its limit. Prince Golltsy, who formerly held immense estates near Kiev, and may recover them, among hundreds of others, is attempting to earn a living by utilising his knowledge ot precious stones of which he once had a large collection. Such men often lose their clothing and baggage to rapacious landlords who serve diem In default of the payment of room rent, but the Russian j aristocrats never lose th«lr politeness j and courtesy in adversity. They still kiss the hands' of * he women, after the taanner of flietr country. Often cheerful and courageous In the face of poverty, they share their last money with friends.

The newest things of this kind are totally different from anything that has been heretofore shown. All kinds of new spangles and new cabuchons, as the odd-shaped beads are now called, are being used and the tnost marvelous colors have been developed for this purpose. Like Piece of Tapestry. When one recalls the old-fashioned headed tunic In color which seemed to represent- the height of ambition from a standpoint of front-row chorus taste, one is atnased at the contrast presented In the 1922 spangled robe. The novelty now appears in dull soft shades of gray, wonderful browns, dull burnished reds snd sphinx. Opalescent and Iridescent effects are replaced by clair-de-lune and lophodore, the latter named from the Iridescent shading of the crested pigeon. In consequence the new spangled robe looks like a wonderful piece of tapestry-work wrought with dull metal and burnished stones. The gelatin spangles as well as the beads are in the most wonderful shadings; thus a gown can be wonted out In a variety sS aUuaw* ana materials, all in one tone. One no longer sees a rtbe entirely spangled nor one done entirely In cupshape motifs. But there are sqaarts, triangles, oblong, pointed, round, faceted and tube shapes in varying slses, sewn according to Intricately traced designs on nets of deep tone; thus making the background as Well as the embroidery in one color. Shapes, Forms for Every Taste. Many of these beautiful robes have been especially executed for the Paris dressmakers after their own designs, and they come from the hands of the manufacturer almost a perf^-t dres3 with sleeves, decollptage, walsiline, skirt fullness, length and shape dietated by the highest Paris fashion authorities. There are shapes and forms to please every taste; tunics cot high In the neck In what Is known as decolletage, without sleeves or with very short ones, if any. Other models hav. ing the stralght-aroand decolletage with only tiny jeweled shoulder straps and bodice are cut off just below the curve of the bust. Again the bodice takes the form of a bib at the front, the back and sides of the figure being left almost nude. In addition to the straight chemise form there are tunics In which ths skirts are entirely complete; others In which that part known as the skirt Is formed of a succession of festoons or fringes. Other models are long straight- panels open at the sides. Styles of 1830 Leave Imprint. The quantities of these beaded tunics that have been exported give evidence that all the big stores In America are anticipating a large demnnd for them. One may expect, therefore, that the beaded tunic will be seen In town and hamlet as well as In the cities. 'Although It appears Impossible to overcome the liking for simple black silk flrocks for daytime, the handsomest of evening dresses are being made from gorgeous materials In bright "colors.~" The feeling of the 1830 period Is very strong In model dresses for the evening. There are any number of very fall skirts, most of which are very long, some almost touching the floor.* In the skirts of rtiore slender outline some part of the frock is made to trail, for while the skirt when slender Is long, It Is considered desirable to give the effect of even greater length by trailing points and panels. Much silver lace and velvet ribbon are used as trimming on satin and silk dresses. Lanvin has just brought out some charming dance frocks In satins of the brightest shades, such as shrimp pink, and trims them most elaborately with metal laces and large applique motifs of nattier blue velvet. Harks Back to Earlier Days, . The way In which Lanvin has applied the velvet trimming Is most unusual.

She has lovely Capat of this kind made in black and gold brocade joined to plain black satin on which the embroidery repeats exactly the pattern of the brocade. It is a fascinating Idea and one of which only a Parisian dressmaker could conceive. Very gorgeous evening coats made fit brocades, for Instance, coral pink and sliver, are broken Into panels by insertions of silver lace, one edge at the laCe being allowed to float free. Often there are six or eight panels of this kind In the width of the cape. All of the silver lace reads one way, and the effect when worn Is almost that of a half-closed fan with the lace edging each rib of the frame. Another wonderful panel effect In an evening wrap, also s creation of Jenny, is a black satin wrap with a broad white panel In the center of the lining.

In order further to reduce the cost some farmers tried pieces of rubber" cut from automobile inner tubes as insulators. Pieces of the tubing 1^ barbed wire and fastened to the post with staples. The county sgent reports that this Insulation is giving satisfaction, although, of course, the rubber will deteriorate in time." The farmers were able to obtain second- hand phones at from $5 to $20 each and 50 cents bought a lightning arrester, so that the total cost per farmer was comparatively nominal.
