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*. THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR, DANIELSVILLE, GEORGIA, E Daddy’s Evemixg Fairy Tale <syr\ AßY GRAHAM BONDER. - ■ ■■■■■ 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 Young Mr. and Mrs. Robin. 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!” Very Simple Little Girl (To grandfather)—Grand pa. why don't you grow hair on your head? Grandpa—Well, why doesn’t grass grow on a busy street ? Little Girl—Oh, I see; It can’t gst up through the concrete. 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. Bulletin Discusses Brooding of Chicks Success Depends on Skill and Care of Operator. (Prepared by the United Slates Depart™*** of Agriculture.)
