You will note among Dort owners
everywhere a strong regard for their
car.
When they speak of it they use terms
that could only be inspired by sin
cere satisfaction.
In every phase of motor service the
Dort does perform in a manner dis
tinctly above the average.
Its mileage per gallon of gasoline,
per quart of oil, per set of tires, is
noticeably higher than usual.
Its construction is so simple that
need for “going over” is infrequent.
It is so accessible that when there

or “tuning up” it is a simple task per

IN the realm of evening clothes
* nothing gives better service than
black satin, and when softened with
fine black lace the effect is irresisti
bly becoming. Tp be simple and to
be slim is the. modest aim of the
gown which is sketched today. The
bodice is cut on conventional kimo
no lines, and the lace has most will
ingly lent itself to a gracetu! tunic,
which is cut diagonal, also a quite
long apron, while the trailing panel
which forms the train is attached to
the neck and is restrained at the
waist by the silver girdle.
The simplicity of this attractive
gown makes an excellent foundation
for renovating a last year’s gown.

i STRAWBERRIES
IN GEORGIA
A bulletin on strawberry culture in
Georgia hv; just been issued by ~j'
Georgia Experiment Station prepnr-j
ed by H. P. Stucky, director. The
bulletin follows:
For several years the Georgia Ex
periment station has been conducting
experiments in cultural methods, va
rieties and disease resistance of
strawberries.
Soil and Fertilizezrs.
One can hardly be too careful in
selections, preparaing and fertilizing
soil for setting strawberries. Unless
the soil is friable, very fertile and
contains sufficient humus or decay
ing organic matter, very few of the
strawberry plants will survive the hot
summer months. Where it : s desired
to set a piece of soil to strawberry
plants in the late fall, winter or early
spring, it should be broadcast with
well decomposed stable manure, at
the rate of 36 tons per acre, some ]
three or four weeks before the plants j

Method and Ti m U.
We prefer to set
during the month of November; how
ever, they may be transplanted at al- !
most any time during the winter or:
early spring. After the land has been
broken and thoroughly harrowed it
should be paid out in rows 3 1-2 feet
apart. The rows should be listed into
j broad low levels, only two or three
! inches above the general level of the
r soil, and the plants set about 16
inches apart on these beds. We have
tried several methods of culture, and
have gotten best results from what is
called the “met-row” system, that is
we allow the plants to mat and occupy
a space about a foot broad all along
the row. They are confined to this '
area by the cultivators.
Strawberry plants set in the fall or ]
early winter will bear a few berries I
the following spring, and will bear
