women’s dress. It is u straight-line
v ,,, £ j on of the simple middy blouse,
according to a fashion writer. Pari
sian dressmakers made this a popular
thing late last summer. It has been
tliown at the most exclusive shops in
various attractive guises and will,
without doubt, be one of the most
worn of the new fashions throughout
the spring and summer of 1924.
These frocks are simplicity itself,
yet lend themselves readily to the
knowing and distinctive little touches
which make for style.
The frocks may be bought at any
fhop of the better type and, of course,
they can he copied by a clever
seamstress for much less.

Dionograninted tab is the very newest
version of the craze for motifs and is

usually in black or white.

buttoned waistcoat and rolling collar

straight or wrap-around variety, as
you choose, and the flaring sleeve with
the undcrsleeve of pique will be smart

Sleeveless Jacquette
Knitted Suit Feature
Tan wool and brown fiber silk are
used to make this youthful two-piece'
knitted costume. The long Jacquette*
is sleeveless.
Colors and Designs in
Wearables for Spring;
A recent fashion show held by fore
most American style creators empha
sized certain of the prevailing fashion
tendencies, established silhouette and
lines and pointed to the growing popu
larity of colors whose vogue is ex
pected to continue throughout the
spring and early summer.
As was to be expected, much atten
tion was given to suits of boyish lines
and in these there was a noticeable,
tendency to choose hairline striped
•materials and covert mixtures.
The costume suit was not lacking.
A coat of three-quarter length was;
worn over a skirt of the same mate
rial, topped by a tunic blouse of silk;
In a shade titat contrasted with the.
coat and skirt.
A marked preference was revealed
for brown in all Its color variations.
The vogue of brown extends to mill
nery and to footwear.
Oriental Influence
in New Paris Novelty
One of the latest novelties from
Paris owes its existence to the Orien
tal influence, and Is so designed as to
give the Impression that the wearer
is standing behind a transparent
three-panel Chinese screen.
The robe Itself is of gold lace, of
the sheath type, falling unbroken
from the straight neckline to the
ankles. The center panel of the
screen which hangs before this is of
semi-transparent lacquer chiffon, em
broidered In dragon and pagoda de-:
signs In gold. It Is attached to the
dress at either shoulder. The two
other panels, similarly embroidered,
are attached at either shoulder and
wrist. Heavy tassels at the bottom
keep these three panels straight, and
when the arms are raised to the level
of the shoulders a perfect representa
tion of a three-leaf screen is pre
sented.
Prim Straight Collar Band
Beside the elongated V-shape used
for the sleeveless Jacket one also sees
n model Inspired by the popular Chi
nese coat. It has, however, no open
ly in the front other than a short
slash, hut the prim straight band col
lar declares its origin.
These shawls have made an imme
diate success and are in great de
mand among women who will use
them over their light gowns. They
will surely he equally popular for
summer country wear.
Gay Satin Bands
Three wide bands of satin rlbobn or
nament one type of forck for a young
girl. The frock itself Is of wool In a
sober shade, hut the three satin bands
—at waist, knee and hem—are as gid
dy in tints desired.
Makes It Firm
In sewing on buttons, if the knot i&
placed on the right side of the cloth,
directly under the button, the thread
will be less likely to break and become
loosened, and the button will remain
on longer.
New Boudoir Pillow
Among the many designs of pillows
there is a long, flexible, slim one that
Is particularly interesting, made of a
new ribbon, wide gold brocade with
black velvet stripes.

PIGS’ AMBITIONS
“Grunt, grant,” said Brother Bacon,

the children give
picnics I hear the different ones saying
what they will take to the picnic.
“Now fancy a pig wanting to take
along something for someone else!
“But they worry about so many

they are going to pass their examina
tions nnd if they are going up into an
other grade the next year.
“What do they want to go up into
another grade for when they were all
right in the one they were in?
“Do you suppose I’d want to go up
into a higher mud patch when I have
such a nice one here? Mercy, no; I’m
too sensible.
“And then people worry for fear
someone will not like something they
have said. Why don’t they just grunt
nnd squeal and if no one else likes it —
well, iet them go on grunting and
squealing and pleasing themselves.
“People will fret that maybe they
won’t be famous later on.

“ ‘My dear young man, or, my dear
young woman, or my ilpar boy or tny

“I’ve even heard them making up
imaginary speeches which may be said
to them some day.
“They have so much nmbition. And

“When they get older they will do
so-and-so, or when the summer comes
they will have a good time, or next

will enjoy themselves.
"That is lie way they talk. I hear

“But though they look down on pigs
I think I could give them some good
advice. Why don’t they follow the ex

“They’d doubtless be much shocked
at such a suggestion. But we don’t
look ahead—that is, not unless food is
coming our way.
“We live in the present. Look at us,
and you will see how free from worry
we nre!
“We’re not bothering ourselves over

we’re not hoping to be famous or suc

“We’re just pigs, happy, contented,

Repair Shade and
Ornamental T rees
Suggestions on Proper Meth
ods to Follow in Mending
Damage of Winter.
(Prepared by the United Statee Department
of Agriculture.)
The extensive injury and destruction
Of trees of all kinds during the winter
season has brought many inquiries to
h>e United States Department of Agri
iulture regarding the proper methods
p bo followed in repairing the damage
one. The following suggestions are
imide by the department:
The first thing that should be done
is to remove such large broken
branches as are now, or may become,
a menace to life and property; tlds Is
usually best done ’’by cutting at the
point where broken. Attention should
then be given to injuries on the main
trunk. If limbs havo been split, or
partially split, from the main trunk,
411 splintered wood about the wound
Should be removed with a sharp gouge
and mallet, if not so situated that
it can be sawed off. The scar should
be smoothed in (he manner indicated
in Farmers’ Bulletin 1178, Tree Surg
ery, und treated as an open cavity,
or as a large surface wound, as the
Case mny necessitate.
Repair Larger Branches.
Attention should next be given to
repairing the injuries on the larger
branches in a similar manner, and
last of all to the smaller branches.
Sometimes when a limb is broken
away the tree is so weakened at the
ipoint of breakage that It mny agnln
break In n severe wind, nnd to obvi
ate this the top must be pruned back
tnore or less severely. In case of
spilt crotches, the ndvlce given Jn
banners’ Bulletin 1178 should be fol
lowed regarding the general treatment,
Including bolting through und above
the crack.
In cases of estates where a great
ambunt of injury has occurred, and
only a comparatively small force Is
available for repairing the damage,
the final cutting of long stubs can be
conveniently left for n time, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk,
or close to it, should bo attended to
promptly, in nny case before warm
weather arrives.
Leave Cavities Open.
It is not necessary to fill cavities.
It Is better in most cases to leave them
open. All final cuts should be im
mediately covered with some good an
tiseptic nnd waterproof paint. It will
not be necessnry to specially treat the
ends of long stubs thut are to lie re
moved close to the trunk later in the
season.
In no part of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on n tree. Spur
New Disease of Peaches

Grass Quite Essential
for Starting Goslings
Goslings do not thrive in small bnra
enclosures as they are naturally grass
enters. A range abundantly covered
with tender grass and shade nre es
sential to their growth. During the
heat of the day they need protection
from the hot sun. A high mortality
rate results when goslings nre placed
in bare fenced enclosures with the
Idea of protecting them from injury
by other birds or animals, writes R. G.
Kirby In the Farm and Ranch.
Tender grass cun he used as the
only feed for goslings for the first
two days. Then use n moist mash
five times a day. An easily made
mash consists of two-thirds mid
dlings nnd one-third corn meal, bran,
middlings nnd rolled oats moistened
with skim milk. Some breeders start
(lie goslings on bread and milk. Th®
bread Is sonked in milk and squeezed
nearly dry before feeding.
After the first week the gosling*
will relish scalded cracked corn. The
goslings are grass enters and not grain
eaters, nnd if any part of their ration
is ever neglected be sure it Is not
the regular supply of tender green
grass which they can soon harvest
for themselves on the right kind of
range.
Undesirable Flavors or
Odors May Be Prevented
Silage odors are absorbed largely
through the body of the cow rather
than from the air, according to testa
made by the United States Department
of Agriculture. However, these odor*
may be practically or entirely removed
by the aeration of the milk while It la
still warm. Ruther heavy feeds of
silage may be given to cows one hour
after milking without uny undesirable
flavors or odors passing Into the milk.
When green alfalfa was fed In relative
ly large quantities one hour before
milking marked flavors and odors were
noticed In the milk, but when as much
as 80 pounds per cow was fed after
milking there was no effect on the
milk from the next milking.
April Favored by Many
for Sowing Red Clover
Many farmers seed clover as early
as February, while others wait until
April and sow with apparently equal
success. Koine sow half the seed early
and half late, since a very light seed
ing will be sufficient under fuvorubla
conditions. The month of March 1*
recommended by many. A honey
combed or dry, frozen condition of the
soil Is likely to exist at that time. A
dry, cracked condition develops a lit
tle later and It is considered by theae
inen as second choice.
If n small amount of grain Is fed
while running on alfalfa, bogs will
make n rapid and profitable growth.

The farmer has the advantage of
most factory owners In that he may
