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.

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 / belong to the Kut hatch family. “We of the Red- jf Breasted family f . are not so well JiA I known as the ones / //J of the White- ffJ/l Jr U Breasted family. 7/ J .

(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 tQ give larger crop returns .than pfTWroeff'Whlch have not been oertlflqg. In a test conducted In 1922* ceftlfigd seed yielded at the rate 1 ' of 380.3^BbsH : ' els per acre as coinpured wlfa'Qi&A 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.
