Under the autocratic rule of ! designers, observes a fashion writer In 4 the New York Times, an ideal has been created and a standard established, and life, as to clothes, is slmi pie for the woman who fneets the re- [ qulrements, though otherwise it la a :• problem requiring devoted attention •nd involving many difficulties. It is as if the whole world of fashion makers had conspired against the woman who is smart, yet not neces- Maixe Silk Etamlne Embroidered In Scarlet Floss With Coral Ornament. sarlly slim and curveless. The most tempting models are for the boyish figure, and to place them further beyond the reach of any other, the original French models are confined to sizes Co larger than "38." The saleswoman usually displays this to the timid, almost apologetic customer, aa being "the very largest size we carry." This applies, of course, to the woman who longs to possess the original and wishes to avoid, if. possible, the Irksome experience of being fitted. She of the youthful figure, with fresh Bkln and hair of natural shade, still finds that, unless she has kept her figure and avoirdupois within bounds^ she is -"'hard to fit," and, being a plump 40, Is distressed to find that the type of frock that was charming on a "perfect 36" looks quite different on her. To be unsylphllke la handicap enough, bat to have arrived at tbe period when one must acknowledge or be reminded that moyen-age styles are the correct thingfor one is to realize, they say, the first gray in the otherwise bright sky of a merry world. For the woman of fashion who has put off this somber day by being industrious In training, the way is still pleasant and the best and most beautiful thing9 created 6y Parisian artists are for her aa long as she desires them. Hair can be camouflaged, dog collars are for telltale necklines, angel sleeves soften sharp angles--and many another trick may be turned. • But when moyen-age adds sliver to the hair and pounds to the figure there is cause for despair and the question of dress becomes acutely important. French Women Reticent. It Is something a French woman never admits except to herself. Whatever Is becoming she will wear, and Bhe critically views herself and decides that illusion and effect come of emphasis of her points of charm and of subordinating, negativing, as it were, the marks of the years and the evidences of too much enjoyment of ease. She knows the value of having hair perfectly colffed and hauds and feet immaculately clad. Some of the older artists. Worth, Paquln, Drecoll, Redfera--master hands In the art of gowning women-- seemed to have n special sense in this Important service, and their clients looked always so well and so becomingly dressed that the evidence of age was artistically softened and dignified. Judged by her silhouette--so it be de rigueur--any woman In these times may wear anything she chooses, and usually she is successful, for American women are graduates In taste and style. For them the best designers of Europe and America have worked out models that will please the fancy and comfort the heart by keeping youth and grace in the figure. The fashionable woman of a generation ago was unaware of the architecture that reconstructs the figure to the present model. To summarize, shs wore stays, and crinoline, and bones. These belong to tbe Dark Ages, as far as concerns the modern woman; which greatly simplifies the task of the modiste who helps the middle-aged woman to express taste and style In her appearance. The waistline dropped to the point of the hip was the life-saving innovation. To that is drawn the bog V-shaped neck, the gracefully tapered shawl collar, the wide cascading cape, the Jabot. The skirt, in slight drapery, is caught usually with a motif of flowers or Jeweled ornament, or a garniture that trails in lengthwise line to the bottom of Uie skirt. , One-Piece Gown, Real Test. The one-piece gown, the real test, has many variants, the essential of which is the coat dress. This, in light or heavy materials, Is becoming to every figure of any proportions. The gown proper is made in a straight model, with a panel, like a full-length waistcoat, whether plain and fitted, or plaited and held by a belt or gtrdle. Tbe tunic, which may be threequarters, seven-eighths or full length. Is one of the most comfortable and entirely satisfactory models suitable for older women. The silk Jersey tunic for daytime and the beaded tunic for evening wear were brought out several years ago. Isolated, single and "extreme" styles, that took at once. Worth, Beer, Jenny, Molyneu*. Cherult are now giving us one-piece gowns. Jenny, Alice, Bernard, Louiseboulanger, Premet, Doeulllet, Drecoll, to mention special and representative designers, present Interesting variants of the tunic, and Polret Laavln. Jeanne Hallee, Doucet, Patou are among those who illustrate the saving grace of a slight lift of the skirt Is draped lines.5 No preceding season has offered as much Inducement in material for slender modeling and graceful drapery. The soft silks, crepes, voiles, marquisette, and all the shades of weaving In sheer fabrics respond to the artistic designs cannily established for the clientele to whom It matters so vitally. Shown in Knitted Wear For dress and semi-dress occasions, the beautifully patterned and colored plain goods of this season are delightfully adnpted, and the possibilities of bappy results with these in the hands of artists are almost unlimited. It is the sports dress and the tallleur that present the real problem. Each of these, In the strictest sense, belongs to the Jeunesse, the slim, the willowy type, but must be adapted to the inaturer figure. This is accomplished with smart effect and much charm in the one-piece frock, cut very coatl'ke, straight and belted loosely; In the tunic, and in the overblouse and skirt. All'^hese are successfully Illustrated In the knitted goods--light, gossamer woolens, silk Jersey, roshanara crepe sponge, pongee and alpaca. I'lalts--the tunic of narrow plaiting entire--long, slender panels, and rows of buttons outlining the frock from top to bottom, accentuate length and have a slenderizing effect and are somehow younger and more chic than the plainer models. Some of the most exclusive shops in*New York *are offering these seml-tallleur suits in white, wblte-and-black or collars In stripes, and sharply marked bars. <5ne that Is liked by ultra-fashionahle women is an informal outfit--skirt of white Jersey, plaited; overblouse of crepe, embroidered In colored crewels, and threequarter sweater coat of the Jersey, with deep shawl collar, large pockets, and narrow belt of glace kid. The overblouse, touching the knee, Is the answer to many difficulties In the summer outfit for moyen-age. It is soft, supple, yet straight, dropping with its own weight, and is worn unbelted. The skirt beneath, whether It Is plain, kilted or flaring, adds grace to the figure and is flattering to feet and ankles. The cretonne coats that were, brpught out with the first suggestion of seaside dress are having a vogue. They are so picturesque, summery and serviceable that they and their variants, whatever they come to be, are likely to have a long run of popularity. They are the simplest type of garment, cut as 8traight as a man's smoking Jacket, and with no more elaboration in outline. Red Now Add* Pleasing Touch of Popular Colpr years Jmm red occupied such an Important place In fashion. Much has been said about Its use as decoration, but one sees It even more extensively featured both In millinery and in costumes. The all red hat has appeared recently in such numbers as to make it a fashion note well worth recognizing. Usually It fops a suit for tailored frock -of black or dark blue and the color scheme Is repeated in a scarf or a handkerchief peeping out of a pocket. One of the most Interesting sport suits to be seen was fashioned of a ' soft wool. Is shade a rather bright red marked with pencil stripes In black. Tbe skirt was a simple wraparound model and the coat was of special Interest In that it revealed the tendency toward a somewhat longer length In contrast to the i brief little Jacket of the tallleur. Shown with this suit was a short mannish Jacket of black cheviot, indicating that by ipflydlng two coats It would be possible to have two distinct costumes. With the revival of the suit has come about a greater Interest In blouses and in their infinite variety they offer all kinds of delightful possibilities. One model was designed as part of a costume, but It could easily be copied in other colors and worn as a separate blouse. It Is made of white crepe de chine with a touch of red on the tie ends. This color is repeated In a plaited oversklrt opened In front ta show a slip of white crepe. Three little belts of red accentuate the Idea that this Is a frock and not' Joist a separate skirt and blouse. KILLS HIMSELF SO ' - WIFE CAN WED RIVAL Send Insurance WotdJ Give Them Start. Detroit, Mich.--To open the Jwttf, fo r her to marry the man she wanted, and In so doing furnishing $1,000 to help out his successor until he can find s Job, Joseph Novickl, thirty-six, of 2563 Hammond avenue, so loved his wife that he took his own life. Mrs. Tekia Novickl, ' twenty-eight, who admits she is In Io*e with Tony Lauslckl, a boarder, appeared pleased at Joseph's sofution of the "eternal triangle" and Intimated that she probably would marry Tony. The domestic crisis, which had been shaping itself for some weeks, came to a head when Joseph came home to find his wife In tears. Weeping, she told him that she was In love with the boarder, Tony, whom Joseph had kicked out of the house a few days before. But Tony had no money and no Job. He, Joseph, had a Job paying $10 a day. Therefore, Tony wouldn't hear of her leaving Joseph, because then neither could eat. Joseph, In deep thought, entered the bedroom. A few minutes after he announced he had taken poison. "The $1,000 Insurance will enable you to be married," were his dying words. But Mrs. . Novickl believes happiness Is farther from her reach than before. She realizes she loved her husband after all. She does not care for Tony now, and consequently she Is heartbroken. "I wish Joe were back again," Is all she has to say. Grieves to Death When His Wife Disappears Atlantic City, N. J.--After grieving for weeks over the mysterious disappearance of his wife, from whom he never before had been separated - in their fifty years of happ.v married life, Peter K. Palmer of 405 Trinity avenue, this city, died In the home that had become desolate to him. Palmer, who- was seventy-two years old, refused to be comforted by friends. He would not eat and sat virtually every night watching the front door of his home for the return of his life companion. He was found dead in his clialr facing the door recently. Mrs. Mary Palmer, seventy, the wife, disappeared on -May 8. She told her husband she was going to Philadelphia to attend the funeral of a brother, but she may never have arrived in that city, as a thorough search by police failed to reveal any trace of her there. The Atlantic City police combed every section of this city at the request of neighbors of the Palmers, who were touched by the aged man's grief. Seals Menace Salmon Fishery of Pacific Vancouver, B. C.--Destruction of one-sixth to one-third of the average spring salmon pack in the Fraser river by hair seals has caused local fishermen to fear the fish will become extinct and a large revenue be lost. So clever are the seals that It Is a race between them and the fishermen every time a bobbing cork on the net shows a salmon has struck It The seals generally win. Wolf-like, a seal goes for the throat of a. Ash. and usually a head Is alt that is left In the net. Fishermen have tried spreading a "blind" riet, to protect the actual fishing net, but the seals, evidently learning the trick, drive salmon into the net to make capture easier. Not only do seals live on salmon, but when their hunger Is appeased, they kill for sport, tossing the fish out of the water as a cat plays with a mouse. A seal con throw a 30-pound salmon clear of the water, the fisherman declares. Boy's Bow and Arrow Kills Trapped Bear Orono, Me.--With three steel-tipped arrows, shot from a powerful six-foot bow of his own making, George W. Jacobs of Brockton, Mass., a freshman at the University of Maine, recently killed a 250-pound bear In the woods, ten miles north of Amherst. The bear was caught by one paw in a steel trap. Jacobs, who acquired skill with thiB weapon as a boy scout several years ago, shot five arrowq and three took effect. He made the expedition In company with Harry Jordan, veteran guide of East Eildlngton, as a result of the taunts of fellow students, who called him "Robin Hood" and laughed at his insistent claims concerning the effectiveness of his bow and arrow. His exploit is expected to stimulate Interest In archery in the university. Fox Killed by Lightning North Powder, Ore.--This section was visited by an electrical storm recently which did some damage. The Eastern Oregon^LIght and Power company substation was set on fire but was saved by the use of fire extinguishers. A silver fox. valued at $1,000, was killed by lightning.

Cambridge, Mass.--A "petting party" for which he paid $362,000 in cash, stocks add bonds, was described in the Middlesex Superior court here by* Bdmuud D. Barbour, eighty-three years old. Suffering from heart trouble, infirm and hardly able to see, Barbour tottered to the witness stand and told his story in the case against Daniel H. Coakley, disbarred Boston lawyer, and William J. Corcoran, former district attorney of the county, on trial on charges of conspiracy to extort money from Barbour and others by means of threats between 1914 and the present time. Barbour, a Boston china merchant, told the court that lie has never been the same since the occurrence--that his body became infirm and his mentality was shaken. The affair, he testified, occurred With a "Mrs. Daley" In hlg office. The incident, according to the witness, occurred in 1016. Barbour said he had known "Mrs. Daley" for ten years before that. One day in July, 1818, he testified, she came to his of- ¥i ot Co-operation Saw the Head of a Man. flfce,** ,he said. "While she was there," he said, "I embraced her and we had a petting party--Just a petting party, your honor, and nothing else." The Old Stuff. Suddenly the witness explained he heard a noise over the transom and saw the head of a man who said he was a policeman. "I was all excited and didn't know what to do. But while the man was still in my office Mrs. Daley made the suggestion, which I accepted, to go see Mr. Coakley who would be able no doubt to straighten the matter out" Barbour testified that when he reached Coakley's office only two hours later he found not only Coakley and Mrs. Daley there, but a man who said he was Mrs. Daley's husband. "I told Mr. Coakley the whole story and be said that I should return at a later date and he would then be able to tell me more definitely what he could do for me," the witness added. By the time he got through paying "resentful, but unidentified detectives," "lawyers" and the "Injured woman," Barbour testified that he had expended $362,000. . This amount, he said, he delivered to Coakley In cash, stocks and bonds. - Corcoran Is now under a flve-year sentence on other blackmail charges. Loses All His Clothing in an Electric Machine McFarland, Cal.--"A rag and a bone and a hank of hair," together with the paddings of flesh with which Dame Nature adorned his frame, was the extent of Maynard Schrack's raiment, following a mishap In which his clothing was caught In the drive belt of an electric drill at Colonel's garage. Being of a retiring disposition, It Is said that Schrack went home garbed in a barrel, a blush and a nettled expression. Schrack was operating a drill when his clothing caught In the rapidly moving belt. The belt pulled In all directions but one and Schrack pulled in that one. His socks and shoes were about the only articles left whole when the struggle ended.

Petrified Ear Found Tamanend, Pa.--No scientific • pilgrimages have been started In this direction because of the finding of a petrified human ear in a dam here, but folks In this hamlet are somewhat agitated by the discovery.

Goiernment Bulletin Shows How Exchanges Became Federated. iPr*par*d by the United States Department of Agriculture.) \yidespread Interest in the "California plan" of co-operative marketing makes especially timely Department Bulletin 1237, Organization and Development of a Co-operative Citrus- Fruit Marketing Agency, Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1801, when shipments were a little more than 4,000 cars, there was an apparent overproduction of California citrus fruit Thirty years later a crop totaling more than 56.000 cars was marketed successfully. Bulletin 1237 describes the growth of the system of co-operative marketing that Since 1893 has taken a leading part in the development of the California citrus industry. It outlines, also, the steps by which local associations and district exchanges became federated In the California Fruit Growers' exchange. Historical Account. r:7 A brief historical account Ig'fflilinted of the California citrus Industry since the Introduction of orange trees by the Franciscan monks In 1769. The conditions causing the practical bankruptcy of the Industry In the early nineties, and the unfortunate alliance of the exchange with commercial shippers In 1003-04 are other topics discussed In the historical section of the bulletin. Considerable space Is given to a dlsrusslon of the organization and operation of the local units that make up the exchange. "Local co-operative associations are the foundation of the exchange system," It Is stated. "The earliest organizations of this kind preceded the Incorporation of the exchange by almost three years. They were created by the members of a community who considered their ^marketing problems as being, first oKall, local in character." The organization and functions of the district exchanges and the various departments of the California Fruit Growers' exchange are .discussed in detail. Other Organizations. An organization for the purchase of supplies and two by-products companies have been established by the federated associations. These organizations are not subsidiary to the California Fruit Growers' exchange, but are units of the exchange svstem. The problems leading up to the organization of these companies, and the services they perform for the members of the exchange, make up ana section of the bulletin. Several pages are devoted to'a discussion of the economic services of the exchange, and the fundamental principles upon which the organization Is based. The appendix contains the original organization and marketing plan adopted in 1803, the by-laws of the exchange and contracts In force between the growers and their associations, the associations and the district exchanges and the district exchanges and the exchange. Copies of Bulletin 1237 may be bad free upon request to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, as long as the supply lasts. Students Witness Mock Trial of a Scrub Bull An audience of about 250 persons recently witnessed the mock trial of a scrub bull at the East Tennessee farmers' convention at Knoxville. In a description of the trial received by the United States Department of Agriculture from Dr. C. A. Hutton. dairy specialist of Tennessee, he says It resulted In much Interest In Improved live stock. It was held un<W the auspices of tbe agricultural club, and two law students of the state university acted as attorneys In the case. This method of showing the undeslrahlllty of inferior breeding stock Is proving very popular. The Department of Agriculture has had a large demand for their "Outline of a Scrub Sire Trial," which was prepared for the purpose of aiding persons interested In the work of bettering the nation's live stock.

The plan of the organization as reported to the United States Department of Agriculture by E. D. Metcalf Is to limit the farm animals In the township to one breed for each class of live stock. Belgian horses, Guernsey cows and Duroc-Jersey swine are the breeds that have been selected. It Is further planned that only pure bred sires be used in the community, and that before the end of a year teach member of the association will have at least one registered animal of one of the breeds chosen by the organization^ • •-» Gas Forty years ago, kerosene was the main by-product of crude oil.

PLAN OUTLINED TO PREVENT STINKING SMUT OF WHEAT Series of Experiments Carried on in Northwest (Prepared bjr the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Bunt or stinking smut of wheat can be entirely prevented by sowing treated seed before the smut shower, and can be largely controlled by delaying the sowing somewhat, according to the results of experimental studies made by the United States Department of Agriculture. Infection from smut spores present In the soil may be partially prevented by treating the seed with copper sulphate or with commercial llme-eulpffate applied full strength and allowed to dry. This protection Is not afforded by formaldehyde. Much of the seed wheat sown In the seml-arld regions of the United States Is killed by seed treatment however, because of the threshing in- Jury to the seed coat. A series of experiments In tbe prevention and control of bunt was carried on In the Pacific Northwest and the results of these form the basis for a new bulletin Just issued as Department Bulletin 1239, by the United Stutes Department of Agriculture. According to the findings in these studies wind dissemination is the most important factor in the continued occurrence and spread of bunt in that region, where the biennial crop system Is practiced. In moist soil, bunt spores were found to lose their viability In 30 to 60 days, but In the dry air of the laboratory they retain their germinating pow^r for 12 years or longer. Bunt spores In unbroken smut balls retain their viability throughout the winter months, and are capable of producing Infection even after being subjected to alternate thawing and freezing. Spores have germinated and produced Infection after lying one and one-half years In the soil. A copy of this bulletin may be secured, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture. Washington. the greatest pasture crop for horses and will carry three to four head of cattle per acre. He believes from the standpoint of soil fertility sweet clover is the best crop that can be raised la that section. Killing Out Bluegrass Cultivating alfalfa after the second crop is taken off In order to kill bluegrass will be found the most satisfactory practice. At this time the soil la apt to be dry and It Is easier to kill the bluegrass. Cultivation comes at a time when It will be a big help In conserving soil moisture. Some farmers cultivate their alfalfa fields early In the spring, using a disk or a bar row. and follow each cutting by a cultivation. Often this Is necessary If the bluegrass Is not killed out by the spring cultivation. Grow Quality Vegetables Growing vegetables and growing quality vegetables are two different things. There are some things that make for quality but add little to the cost or the labor. Very rich soil that Is sandy and mellow to start with is Important, but if the soil is not so good, feeding can remedy that somewhat. Cultivation after every rain to keep the soil moisture from escaping Is another point. Itlch soil and good culture will give quality. Sweet Clover Superior as Soil Improving Crop Sweet clover actually makes three kernels grow where one grew before, according to farmers with thin land who have tried this legume for soli Improvement One of the many examples of the value of sweet clover for this purpose on record at the Kansas State Agricultural college Is that of John Fry of Independence. A number of years ngp he realized that he couldn't produce wheat profitably In Montgomery county with a yield of eight bushels to the acre. He heard of sweet clover and began to grow It for soil Improvement purposes, where formerly he had been harvesting eight bushels of wheat to the acre.
