Velvet ,for Children. ' .< :
•• { !
A stunning suit for a girl of fifteen
is made of black velvet, the jacket and
skirt banded with white rabbit fur.
the blouse of white crepe de ,chine,
with motifs and a slight* edging of
baby Irish lace. To complete this little
fairy princess toilet is a toque and'a
quaint round muff.of.rhlib.it. iSquiprei
Is used In trimming another suit of
soft gresn,; and' one of-jpqvnnn "brown
is untrimmed. To be worn with It are
li s6ft, ribbon-trimmed behyer hat and;
a scarf of brown fox. . .‘.’l':?
The party dress is the piece do re
sistance in a girl's wardrobe, fjjqm her
first birthday frock to the momentous
costume for her introduction to the
social world. Lovely poetic things are
designed for the girl who Is having
her first holiday from boarding school
—the happy days when there is a
round of festivities in her honor and
her own little crowd has a full pro
gram of frolics.
For these there must be a number
of semi-dress toilets for the matinee
and luncheon and the many excursions
about town. The velvet three-piece
suit, plenty of fresh guimpes, two or
three soft one-piece dresses of crepe
in color, a sports top coat and n dress
coat, and then the "party” dresses,
complete the equipment for a cam
paign that Is likely to he as full of
thrills as any in the years to follow.
The Useful One-Piece Frock.
One-piece frocks are designed for
every occasion, the difference being a
matter of material. In the midwinter
models velvet is modish, it is so flat
tering to the complexion of youth, so
serviceable equally for daytime nnd
evening. A ravishing affair for a lady
of twelve dresses her like a little car
dinal In scarlet velvet, with nothing
to contrast with the flaming shade. A
deep plaited frill of scarlet chiffon
falls from the shallow round neckline,
and the frock Is sleeveless.
Another model in aquamarine blue
velvet is edged about the neck and
quarter-length tight sleeves with squir
rel, and is worn over a guimpe of fine
white net, the full undersleeves of
which are drawn in snugly at the
waist.
With the exception of velvet, little
heavy material is seen in the one-piece
dresses. There Is always, of course,
the Thompson type of outfit for
athletics and outings, and the gnrment
of serge or cheviot with bloomers in
several styles, for service. But the
crepes and voiles, soft silks nnd geor
gettes are almost universal in their
vogue.
Simplicity is the keynote and In the
best models elaboration of any kind is
expressed in a touch of needlework,
fine embroidery or smocking. Lace Is
sparingly and Judiciously Introduced
in frocks for girls, except in those for
the tots, on some of which much baby
Irish and real Valenciennes lace Is
J used.
Frocks for girls at the Junior age.
are the most difficult to select. -When
she is midway between girlhood and
young ladyhood and growing by leaps
and bounds sht is a real problem iti
. dressing, That she may appear cor
reet nhd ttiat site may be comfortable
in her own consciousness as well as in
her body and look her best as every
girl at her age -wishes to do, Is; matter,
for thought and taste and an infinite
sense of tlie order and fitness of
tilings. Happily, the present fashion
is one of straight fines and little trim
ming, of soft materials made so that
every girl, even she that is awkward,
may look and feel at ease.
Some fairyiike skirts are of tulle
with several tfounces overlapping and
very full. One, nil white, lias each
narrow ruffle edged with a single line
pf silver; with a ruffle around the
neck and tiny puffed- sleeves. Little
slippers of silver, and a sash of silvei
ribbon fastened with a petite nosegaj
of rosebuds and forget-me-nots create
a picture to grace any day.
The most popular evening dress foi
girls between the ages of six and six
teen is of crepe or georgette, with the
slightest suggestion of trimming. A
sweetly pretty model’shown by an ex
elusive shop Is of white crepe, with
long blouse and slightly draped skirt
boot-top length, the dress having a de
sign in white ribbon of flowers an 1 a
trailing vine, extending from one
shoulder to the knee.

long.
First he had a talk with the Tree
Sparrows.
“We don’t mind the winter weather.
We eat seeds from old weeds which
we find sticking up above the snow,”
they told Billie Brownie. “And it is
very seldom that we beg for food
around houses. We can mostly always
provide for ourselves.
“Now we heard of a description of
sparrows ns told by someone who
knows all about birds,” the Tree Spar
row talking explained to Billie Brownie,
“and I shall give you that description
for It is quite true and it wns told
well in human words.
“We were described as belonging to
the same family as the Field Sparrows
nnd Chipping Sparrows belong to
though the others do not stay around
so much In the winter.
“Chipping Sparrow has a black bill
and Field Sparrow a red one during
the summer but when the fall comes
their bills are dull In color and lose
their summer gorgeousness.
“Field Sparrow wears n reddlßh
coat while Chipping Sparrow wears
handsome white touches above his
eyes.
“I have white touches to the wings
and a dark spot in the center of my
waistcoat which I call my pet spot I
“I dearly love that spot.
“Sometimes we can sing quite sweet
ly. But I suppose we’re not famous
for our voices. Anyway they say it Is
nice to see us about in the winter
time.”
“I should say so,” Billie Brownie
answered, “and I thank you so much
for having told me your story. It was
enormously good of you."
“Delighted to tell you it,” said the
Tree Sparrow, with a pretty little trill
to his voice.
Then Billie Brownie went to call on
the Red-Breasted Nuthatch and there
lie heard of how these birds loved the
great forest though at times they
wandered off to see other places too
and often they went for a trip with
the Chickadee family or the White-
Breasted Nuthatch.
They told Billie Brownie of the lady
who always put suet on a lilac bush so
that her bird friends could have nice
meals all through the winter.
“We have bldnt little tails and
pointed bills,” said the Nuthatch,
that is really quite easy to remember.
For one part of its is pointed and one Is
not, and that to us seems very simple.
“We don’t think anyone would forget
apd say, “ ‘Let us be on the look-out
for the birdd with blunt bills and
pointed tails.’
“No surely they will be on the look
out for the birds with the pointed hills
and the blunt < /l/s'
tails. For these V 4 JW /

“We of the Red- jf

The latter are the IjP Wj/

Real Struggle on Between Man
and Insect Pests, Report Says
.- li-.-j-^
Inspection Which Helps to Prevent thj Introduction of Foreign Plant
Pests All Imported Plant Material la Carefully Exmained.
. (Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture. )
The serious nature of the struggle
to control the numerous Insect ene
mies of our various crops, our live
stock, and ourselves Is shown In the
annual report made by Dr. L. O. How
ard, chief of the bureau of entomology,
to the secretary of agriculture. Now
nnd then tlie general public Is shown
through the columns of the newspa
pers and financial Journals how great
a factor in our economic welfare Is
the boll weevil, the grasshopper, the
chinch bug, or the army worm, but
these are only u few of the hordes
which annually chew and suck away
our national wealth by the millions of
bushels and bules. Scores of these
enemies are contlnuully being inves
tigated and every now and ther anew
one from another country mukes Its
appearance, sometimes threatening an
Important Industry in some locality
and demanding hurried efforts on the
pnrt of the scientists.
Nationally the cotton boll weevil
stands out as the insect which has
created the greatest economic disturb
ance of recent years, and a number of
pages of Doctor Howard’s report are
devoted to the various studies being
made of methods of controlling the
pest. Tests conducted on more than
1,000 farms scattered throughout the
cotton belt have shown that by proper
dusting of the fields with calcium ar
senate 00 per cent of Hie farmers were
enabled to control the weevil so as to
make the crop profitable, the average
increase being 339 pounds of seed cot
ton to the acre at a cost of $4. Many
experiments were carried on In trying
out other methods nnd equipment, in
cluding the use of uirplanes for dust
ing. All but 4.01 per cent of the cot
ton crop Is now produced In territory
infested with the boll weevil.
Strong efforts have been made to
gain control of the Japanese beetle,
u new pest which has been spreading
in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The
insect Is being carefully studied, farm
practices are being modified to help
reduce its multiplication, and prog
ress has been made in introducing
natural parasites from the Orient
During the year much work was done
on other deciduous fruit insects. In
cluding those of the grape, peach, ap
ple, and of various nuts.
Campaigns have been carried on
against tin gypsy und brown-tall
mpths. Investigators have been in
Europe and Japan studying the nat
ural agencies which assist In the con
trol of these Insects, pnd several prom
ising parasites have been shipped to
this country and are being tried out
along with every other agency which
may be of service In fighting these
tree-defoliating pests.
Cereal and forage Insects have been
given much attention In various parts
Essential That Best
Potato Seed Be Used
Low Grade Material Will
Not Produce Good Crop.
Many potato growers have learned
from bitter experience the fallacy of
planting low-grade seed with the ex
pectatlon of harvesting a bumper crop,
according to W, H. Martin, specialist
in potato growing. New Jersey State
College of Agriculture. The wide
awake grower realizes that in order
to pay his fertilizer and Labor bills and
show a profit it Is essential that be
plant the best seed obtainable. For
this reason he Is now looking for high
grade seed stock for use next sprlug.
Tests conducted by the New Jersey
agricultural experiment station show
that certified seed potatoes can be ex

of the country where damage Is be
ing done or where new pests are gain
ing a foothold. The European corn
borer Is one of the most Important
of these introduced pests; another is
the alfalfa weevil, while grasshoppers,
the southern stalk borer, the wheat
straw-worm, the com eurworm. and
webworms cause serious losses. In
vestigations were carried on to devel
op better control measures for Insects
attacking stored grain and grain prod
ucts, dried fruits, meat nnd fabrics.
Tests have been mnde of cold storage
for the prevention of loss by Insects,
of fumigation, and of woods such as
red cedar.
A number of insects attacking trop
ical and subtropical fruits have be
come troublesome and efforts ure be
ing made to control them. Among
these are several citrus pests, Includ
Ing the camphor scale, mango anJ avo
cado Insects, and fruit (lies In the
Canal Zone and Hawaii. Pests ol
vegetables and truck crops now ol
great Importance are the Mexican bean
beetle, sweet-potato weevil, pen aplds,
bean fly; cabbage, cucumber, melon,
strnwberry, apd sugar-beet Insects.
The entomologists of the department
also have been concerning themselves
with pests of animals und of man.
Treatments have been devised for de
stroying ox warbles, and traps, poisons
and repellents have been developed for
screwworms and blowflies; studies
have been made of the possibilities in
new treatments for lice on live stock
und poultry nnd investigations ol
malaiia mosquitoes have been con
ducted.
Another branch of this varied work
has to do with insects damaging for
ests and those Hut destroy lumber
nnd other forest pr< ducts. The larg
est single control project ever at
tempted against tree-killing hark
beetles Is now in Its' second season,
The area In southern Oregon and
northern California over which this
epidemic extends is a little larger thnn
the state of Delaware and in the last
ten years In tills region the western
pine beetle has killed over a Million
board feet of merchantable yellow
pine timber, valued at over $3,000,000.
This Is 50 times ns much as has been
killed by fire on the same aren during
the snme period. It has been demons
strated that, with the establishment
of os effective beetle control as has
been established for forest fire con
trol, losses due to the beetle can be
reduced to a minimum.
The bureau devotes much attention
to Improving the methods of bee cul
ture and has a good-si/.ed apiary de
voted to Intensive studies of the ways
of bees and means ot controlling their
diseases and protecting them from
enemies. Studies also have been made
of the grading of honey with the ob
ject of establishing standards
bushels for noncertlfled seed. .Similar
tests conducted in New Jersey and
other states show like differences and
the results secured strongly favor the
use of certified seed.
What are certified seed potatoes? To
be certified, seed potatoes must con
form to certain standards of varietal
purity, freedom from disease, and free
dom from low-yielding plants. When
the farmer purchases certified seed he
has the signature of a competent in
spector to the effect that the seed he
buys hns met these requirements. Most
of tiie Important potato growing states
are now offering tills service to tbelr
growers.
Costs Money to Feed Lice.
Hog lice are especially bothersome
at this time of year If left alone they
will become so numerous on a small
pig as'to stop growlti completely Hogs
do not Seem to be able to protect
themselves, from this pest at this sea
