Red and white are a favored com

wear. Model here shows red flannel
Jacket and brief plaited skirt of white
canton crepe.
Lavish Fisr Trimmings
Used on Rich Materials
There has been little change In the
silhouette of the separate coats, which
remains straight and depends upon the
variety of its trimming, material and
detail to counteract the rigidity of Its
severe outline.
The models of Gabrlelle Chanel,
while straight in line, are loose, espe
cially at the back, and are without
fastening, being held in place by the
wearer. Exceptions are the coats that
show the front in circular cut. Of
these the back Is straight and scant
and all the movement is in the front.
The circular portion is set onto the
bodice of the cont at a low waistline.
Several of the evening coats are
trimmed with fur—one very beautiful
model of this character Is developed In
yellow-beige artificial satin. The hack
is formed by a panel the width and
length of the coat, which, at a low
waistline, is slightly bloused. The fur
bands on the panel, the collar and the
i cuffs are fox fur dyed to exactly
match the color'of the satin.
Buttons Important in
Dress Decorations
Jet buttons, large and small, are
very smart and decorative on ail black
gowns, and some heavy, handsomely
cut shapes add greatly to the style of
a costume. Buttons set with rhine
stones, some In the form of circles,
buckles, crescents, diamonds and
squares, are very dainty and are seen
on some of the exclusive models im
ported by American houses, sparingly
used, and serving to Doint up most
daintily afternoon and evening gowns
of silk or satin, velvet, lace, tulle,
chiffon.
For the simpler frocks, tub dresses,
| blouses and sweater jackets nre seen,
some with buttons that are lovely and
most appropriate. They are of white
bone or Ivory, In colors and decorated,
‘ and in mother of pearl.
frocks. Some of these In Egyptian
fashion, go up in the center of the
front.
Tunic Models in Crepe
Tunic models In figured crepes are
of many and varied design. One that
Is especially good to the larger fig
ured materials Is straight almost to
the knees, affording plenty of unbroken,
space for the afternoon display of the
design. A circular flounce, possibly bor
dered or bound with a narrow line of
plain material, leaves a few Inches of
skirt below. This Is usually In the
plain material.
An Unusual Hat
A lit-tle hat of black silk Is some
what square In shape and has a most
unusual trimming. Wide strands of
dull green embroidery silk are placed
around the crown and kept to place
by bands of dull silver. These strands
are knotted loosely at the side and fall
over the edge of the brim. They are
finished with balls of green silk thick
ly studded with nail head*.

YOUNG MR. ROBIN
Young Mr. ltobln looked at young
Mrs. Robin and smiled a robin’s smile.
There was just a little expression
around his beak which said quite
plainly:
“Nice about here, isn't it?”
And she returned his smile too, with
an expression which seemed to say:
“You silly young Robin, now you
know I agree with you! But still it is
pleasant to think of how nice it is
here.”
Young Mr. Robin and Young Mrs.
Robin were not fussy about their home
nest. Young Mrs. Robin was not the
kind to say:
“Now I’ve just cleaned up the place
and spent hours over it so don’t get it
untidy.”
And Young Mr. Robin was not the
kind to say:
“Why don’t you pay more attention
to your housekeeping and In making
the place look pretty and neat as some
bird wives do?”
No, he was not the kind to say any
such a thing.
If the home nest was somewhat un
tidy neither of them cared.
Neither of them was fussy and
neither of them was particularly tidy
about having every twig just so.
Ho could upset things—or not ar
range them nicely and Mrs. Robin
would never say to hint:
“Isn't that just like a gentleman
robin—no consideration In helping to
make the place look nice after I’ve
slaved all day long."
No, she would never say anything
like that to him.
They did not scold each other. They
did not get angry with each other.
They did not quarrel. If they hadn’t
the most beautiful home in the world
it didn't bother them.
Life was too tilled with sunshine
and song and worms to get unhappy
over trifles which really didn’t count
for so very much after all—not to
robins at any rnte.
Young Mr. Robin and Young Mrs.
Robin were always particular to look
very neat themselves.
They bathed Joyously, and even when
a rainy, chilly day came along they
didn’t excuse themselves by saying:
“It’s a hit raw and cold for bathing
today." No, they were particular to
be nice and clean themselves.
And they enjoyed the sunshine JiiHt
as much as any could enjoy it.
They didn’t get cross though when
it was raining—for after rain the

earth was soft and the worms were
about.
There were advantages in rain just
as in sunshine.
After a time ihere came some young
little robins, younger, much younger
than even Young Mr. Robin and Young
Mrs. Robin.
They squawked and made a great
deal of noise, but Young Mr. Robin
and Young M/s. Robin never became
nervous or cranky.
They never said to each other:
“Can’t those children learn to be
quiet?"
Instead they said:
“What a dear, healthy, gay family
we have.”
And they taught them Robin lessons,
but there never were any times when
the children had to stay in after robin
school hours.
Young Mr. Robin and Young Mrs.
Robin were too anxious to play them
selves.
And Young Mr. Robin gave Young
Mrs. Robin the nicest of worms and
helped in getting food for the children,
which made Young Mrs. Robin soy to
herself again and again: “Tweet
tweet, what a dear he is!”

Tuberculosis Is
Not Transmitted
Calves From Diseased Cows
Found Free of Infection
in Alaskan Test.
(Trepared by thp United states Department
of Agriculture.)
Thirty calves dropped by tuberculous
cows in the valuable breeding and ex
perimental herd of the United States
Department of Agricutftiro In Alaska
from 1917 to 1020 have been success
fully raised and adjudged free from
tuberculosis. While ordinarily the
practice of retaining such stock In the
herd Is to he condemned, and should
be allowed only in extremely excep
tional cases, the success of the Alas
kan experiment proves that n very
valuable animal which has become In
fected with tuberculosis need not he
slaughtered; and that the excellent
qualities vhlcli such nn animal would
transmit to Its offspring can be trans
mitted and perpetuated In the off
spring without incurring any risk of
transmitting the disease.
Appearance of Disease.
Considerable effort lias been expend
ed In developing a breed of cattle suit
able for Alaskan conditions by cross
ing the Galloway breed with ctolstein-
Frleslnns, when In spite of all known
precautions having been taken the dis
ease mnde Its appearance in the herd.
Measures were adopted to retain the
diseased animals and to raise calves
from them because of their value.
The diseased cattle were placed in
quarantine 15 miles from tlie healthy
herd and treated as sound cattle, be
ing given free access to pastures and
receiving the usual feed. For ttio first
24 hours nfter birth the calves were
allowed to remain with their dams in
order that they might draw off tlie
first milk, or colostrum, from the ud
ders. They were then removed to sep
arate quarters and fed the pnstuerlxed
milk from the tuberculous mothers.
Milk, together with grass nnd such
other forage as was eaten nt will,
constituted the entire ration until six
months of ngc. When old enough,
they were tested, nnd upon being pro
nounced healthy were added to the
sound herd.
Breeders of pure bred cattle prob
ably will not retain reactors for breed
ing except in rare cases, even though
the affected anlmnls are valuable. The
experlmen’ proves however, that high
ly prized renctors need not tie slaugh
tered. They cannot be cured, hut they
can tie isolated nnd bred for the pro
duction of healthy offspring.
Hawks Aid Poison Crows
in Controlling Rodents
Hawks aid in rodent control work
In Colorado, according to an employee
of the biqlogicnl survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture. On
a single day last full there were noted
20 hawks feeding upon dead nnd dying
prairie dogs on an area poisoned the
previous day. At least ns many more
were flying In the Immediate vicinity.
These hawks, principally tfie rough
legged and prairie falcon, follow tlio
poison crews almost as scavengers and
nre proving a valuable asset in follow
up and cleanup work. When the
prairie dogs have been reduced by n
98 per cent clean-up, ns in tho case of
most systematic poisoning campaigns
conducted by the biological survey, It
can be snfely said that the remainder
will be kept under control by these
predatory birds.
Legume Hay for Sheep
It Is not advisable to feed legume
hay alone to sheep. A small amount
of concentrates should be added to
balance the ration and make it more
palatable. Most sheep men usually
feed a succulent feed, such ns roots
or corn silage, with a little corn, oats
and bran.
Inventory Sheets Show
Need for Better Plans
Filling out farm Inventory sheets
furnished them by the locnl extension
agent convinced fanners In Rowan
and Iredell counties, North Carolina,
of their need for better planning and
more businesslike methods In farming.
Asa result, according to reports to
the United States Department of Agri
culture, over 200 of these 'arrears
have kept a record of the cost of pro
ducing their crops nnd a number have
for the first time produced enough
corn, meat nnd bay to snpply them un
til next harvest. One farmer, who in
previous years has produced no home
supply of meat, this year grew five
hogs for this purpose. Many grew
gardens for the first time.
Seed said to be Imported should be
carefully studied and someone con
sulted who knows whether or not It Is
suited to the conditions in the section
where It Is to be planted.
Where sugar beets can be grown this
crop may well take the place of small
grain that has not proved profitable.
