some of the winter sports clothes
ar ; made of fur, others of the wooliest
f L\< but whatever their texture
/£gn they retain that certain
ipUdtyUf line which charms, the
American woman.
Long dreses ma. be obsessing us.
\Ve may have entered into the spell of
their subtle charms in spite of what
we said ijgainst them in the begin
ning. oftt sports clothes retain that'
comfortable shortness which makes it
possible to walk about in perfect com
fort. Therefore, you can see at any
time semi-sport clothes worn upon the
street. Their character permits of
the length that is easy and wearable.
Hence women are going to drag them
Into the' expression of any day, not
waiting for a sporting occasion on
which to don their comfortable wrap
pings.
The short sport coat of fur has
come to be a part of the winter ward
robe. And women have become so
accustomed to the warmness and the
protection of the furry thickness that
they now just naturally expect some
thing of the sort to be a part of their
wardrobes. These short jackets are
mode of many kinds and conditions
of fur from the light and short-haired
varieties to the very thickest and fuz
ziest of all of them.
Loose Lines, Open Sleeves.
One of leopard skin, provided with
a high fox collar has the loose lines,
the open sleeves, the straight look
that go with a coat of this sort and
despite its scantness and simplicity it
carries just about as muclj warmth as
is ordinarily needed fdf 1 anji spbrt
which does not include riding for a
great distance in ,an -oped .motorcar.
It is, in fact, the coat which has been
adopted for midwinter .all-around
wear. It can drop to -three-quarter
length and still retain a great portion
of style or it can he so short that It
looks bobbed and all the better for Its
abbreviated lines.
The skirts that are worn witty
shorter coats must necessarily come In
for a fair amount of consideration.
They fill so great an area In the
scheme of the good looks of the whole
that they cannot be considered light
ly. Now, the most satisfactory skirts
are those which,possess more .or less
fullness, for they havg a; certain rooin-
Iness which does not muss unduly
nnd which retains Its shape through
a good deal of hard ivegr. f \
Much of the beauty of'a short coat,
of course. Is that it can be worn with
Almost any dress whether the skirt is
tlpht nr superlatively full. But the
f!I skirts have been found to last,
through severe tests, with a greater
retention of smartness of line. A
tightly fitted skirt will Invariably
jtrow humps and bulges where you
least wont them to show, and if you
are planning to wear your fur coat,

Indeed, this season Is one of short
coats,, fjor they are done in, all sorts
and conditions of materials and they
serve a purpose which seems to suit
the habits of the American girl, .for
she can be seen wearing them on all
sorts of occasions with the greatest
bf ease. She always appears to be
eminently at home and satisfied with
her* type of apparel. ■ - ■ .
All sorts of tweeds are in vogue for
outdoor wear. But the piaided ones
are perhaps the 'most liked of all of
them. There are the softest of color
ings blended together and the plaids
are anything hut vivid In the effect
that they create. They may, as de
scribed, sound too loud for words or
for wear, but they are nevertheless
quite retiring in their actual appear
ances mostly because the fuzzy sur
faces of the materials serve to-blend
strong together until they look
almost‘like toningscif the same colors.
You will never realize that a crude
yellow lies against a vivid blue be
cause of the haze- of fuzziness which
overlies the surface of the material.
For the longer coats as well there
Is every .evidence of the plaided
tweeds being used with more and
more regularity. They are made up
into top coats with all of the roomi
ness in the world and with, a shape
that carries that air of sportbess with
it wherever it goes. Coats of this
type are distinctly for outdoor and
hard wear. They are never suitable
to wear where dressiness Is de
manded.

Instinctively, It seems, that this Is the
thing for her —the thing that for a

her best when dressed for out-of-doors
sports.
Hats to be worn with these sports
clothes are no small problem. So
many of them are good enough look
ing as they appear in the windows,
but when you pose them upon your
own head they manage to look like
nothing on land or sea. You want a
hat that is informal looking with all
of that pushed-in quality that makes

above all things, that It shall look
stupid and ill-kept. Many of the new
little outdoor hats are round as round
can be. They have brims that turn
back, away from the face with that
naive expression that looks as though
they had just thoughtlessly been
rolled away from the countenance.

MRS. COW CHATS
“It was in the summer when this
happened,” said Mrs. Cow. >■
“What happened?” asked Miss Cow,
as she looked at Mrs. Cow.
“What I am going to tell you,” said
Mrs. Cow. “You know they say that
animals are curious. I’ve heard the
children speak about it.
“They say that the dogs are cur
ious and that the rabbits are very
very curious.
“In fact I’ve heard It said that a rab
bit’s worst fault is his curiosity.
“Then they say that squirrels are
curious too. Oh, yes, they are very
curious. "
“They want to see what people may
be carrying and-if they .have any nuts
in their hands or jpockets.
“They like to see what other creat
ures are doing, too.
“Then goats are curious. ‘ They are
really, very, very curious.
“Frogs are curious, too. Yes, Grand
pa Frog is a curious old soul.
“Birds are all curious I believe.
“All of this is true.”
“I believe you,” said Miss Cow.
“But I don’t know that you have told
me of any special happening. When
you commenced your talk you said
that it was in the summer time when
the event happened wliicli you were
going to tell me about.”
“Ah,” said Mrs. Cow, “you, too, are
curious! Ha, ha, that is a good joke.
You’re curious to know what I have
to tell you.
“Well,” she continued, “it would be
a very dull world 11 no one and no
creature had any curiosity. For then
no one would care what others were
doing and no one would care what
others were saying and no one would
be interested in anything.
“Too .much curiosity is bad, but a
little is rather nice, I think.
“Well now, you know folks think
cows aren’t very much interested In
what goes on about them. They think

“ ‘Well, Mrs. Cow,’ I said to myself,
‘is he so fascinated by your beauty
and your churm that he cannot do any
thing disc but sit in the field and look
at you?’
“And yet I did not see why he had
brought the board with him and why
he was making strokes on the board
all the. time—each time after lie had
looked at me. t
“So I went up behind him, quite
quietly and gently, and I looked over
his shoulder.
“There I beheld my picture and

“I would put my head on one side
and I would say to myself:

What a lovely, artistic looking creat

‘ But the man said to someone who
came out to speak to him later in the
day:
“ ‘Well, I knew other animals were
curious, but I never thought a cow
was. Yet, this cow has come back of
me to see what I was doing over and
over again.’
“ ‘Ah, yes,’ I said to myself, ‘a cow
has interest enough in what is going
on to show a little curiosity now and
again-’"
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS NEEDED
IN WAR ON MANY INSECT PESTS
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Much attention hus been given dur

of entomology of the United States
Department of Agriculture, to the
control of the Japanese beetle, peach

beetle. The work of the bee-culture
laboratory has been Investigational
rather than educational.
Japanese Beetle Spreading.
Work against the Japanese beetle,
which threatens to become n pest of
first : elass importance, has been prose
cuted as heretofore in co-operation
with the New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania state departments of agricul
ture. State quarantines have supple
mented federal quarantine No. 48 for
intrastate traffic, the enforcement of
which has been delegated to bureau
authorities who co-operate with the
federal horticultural board. During
the season of 1921 some 205,498 bas
kets of sweet corn were inspected
and more than 5,000 beetles were re
moved from within the tips of the
corn—a marked increase in inspec
tion work and in the number of
beetles found.
Continued work In the suppression
of the plum cui*cullo, brown-rot and
scab of peaches In Georgia hns re- j
stilted In a very satisfactory 1922
harvest. Paradichlorobebzene has
been found, useful under certain con
ditions in controlling the California
peach borer in the . Santa Clara val
ley, California. The San Jose scale !
is again becoming troublesome in cor- .
tain parts of . the • country, and has

tion has been given to control of this j
insect in bearing orchards at the Ben
tonville (Art?.) lnliohiftiry, and ma
terial progress made. ' • •
V .More Gipsy Moths. •
s Shortage of funds curtailed the
work with the gipsy moth Infestation
In New England to some extent. On
'.Tyijv 1, 1922, the federal horticultural
bqard placed undpr quarantine to t the
.gipsy moth additional.areas in Maine,’
-I'few Hampshire, Vermont* Massachu
setts and Connecticut, amounting to
5 3,045 squire miles. Scouting work
.plopg the border of the browri-tuil
moth Infestation shows thut there
has been a .heavy decrease .in the In
fested area during the . year. In
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu
setts and Rhode ' Island 2,342 square
ntil’es have been released from brown-
moth quarantine. ;
Parasites to Control Borer.
The work of introducing the nitur
al enemies of the corn borer from
Europe has mnde rapid strides during
the year. More than 500,000 • speci
mens of a single, species of parasite
imported from llyeres In southern
France and reared In this country
were liberated during the summer of
1922 in the heavily Infested regions
of New England. The present plans
of the .bureau Include the continua
tion of this work in order to.insure,
where possible, the establishment of
all available insect enemies of the

pest before it becomes widely dis
tributed throughout the United
States.
Major outbreaks of the so-called
green hug, which ii a most destruc
tive wheat pest, are dependent ex
clusively on the presence of volun
teer grain, it has been- found, and the
remedy is obviously for farmers to
prevent volunteer grain from spring
ing up to furnish breeding places for
the green bug.
Although only one-half of the ap
propriation of $40,000 was used for
grasshopper-control work, a saving of
crops in North Dakota and Wyoming
amounting to over SOOO,OOO was effect
ed. A heavy outbreak occurred In the
summer of 1922 in Montana and Wyo
ming, and a Held laboratory was es
tablished at filings, Mont., In April,
1922, to nid farmers and extension
workers In combating the pest.
Progress With Other Insect Pests.
The results of recent Hessian fly
surveys allow the insect to he causing
very, little damage, owing to the work
of state and federal entomological
workers luring the previous year.
Investigations of insects attacking
meat, particularly the ham skipper
and larder beetles, have resulted in
much valuable Information. An In
vestigation of Insects attacking dried
fruit Is under way.
New facts have been discovered
about the rust-mlte, a citrus fruit pest
in Florida. These, with methods for
rearing the insect, bear directly on
methods of control. Certain insect
killing fungi have been found which
will aid citrus growers In controlling
(lie citrus mealy bug and the rust
mite.
Mexican Bean Beetle a Menace.
The presence of the Mexican bean
beetle in 111 counties in six Southern
states indicates that this pest is ono
of major Importance. Everything
points to the fact that the beetle is
