Trimming Details to Bid for Favor Forecasting the autumn mode hns , ome to be one of the favorite pas ses of midsummer at the exclusive resorts on the continent, observes a fashion correspondent In the New York Herald-Tribune. The clothes worn at Biarritz, Deauville, Long champs and other modish environs of Paris are closely scanned, and the -lightest Insinuation of something new is avidly seized upon by the observers, professional and otherwise, at these fashionable watering places. Asa matter of fact, these resorts do ex ert a surprisingly strong prenatal In fluence over the lesser details of the approaching mode —an influence which will be more than usually potent this year because of the unusual variety of styles that the French designers are displaying. ' There are numerous artistic innova tions and elaborations, hut there is no evidence of anew silhouette, al though indications point toward an outline more involved than has been offered in many seasons. Sleeves, waistline and skirt length are es sentially unchanged, and If these Olympic models be any criterion, It is apparent that the autumn mode will derive its variation from the intricate manipulation of trimming details. Plait, flounce, tunic, plaid fabric and the ensemble are the dominating fea tures of the Colombes costumes. Another manifestation of the urge toward plaids is seen in a three-piece costume of Philippe et Gaston, end consists of a pluid wool dress in beige tones, accompanied by a beige kasha coat matching one of the tones of the plaid. The coat is widely open at the front and has a shawl collar with square-cut ends. For Formal Affairs. Let it not be understood, however, that the vogue for plaids extends to formal clothes. It does not, save when developed in taffeta and chiffon, which are worn on dressy afternoon occasions. At the supplementary for mal affairs crisp, full-skirted taffeta models in monotone plaids of rose, clear yellow and pale green are In evi dence upon the smartest dressers. Gen erally, though, the plaid design belongs to the field of sports clothes, and where it is not used for the costume it self it invariably makes its appearance as a trimming or an accessory. Thus, a plain beige or white kasha wool coat moy have a plaid border, either woven in the cloth or cut from a plaid and applied in the form of a border. Or vari-colored soutache braids may be used to form plaid borders for plain cloths. This very charming Idea is distinctly new. Many beautiful braids woven in plaid design are employed to give a touch of novelty to demurely toned suits or dresses. Some women who consider plaid effects too. striking for the entire costume adopt them only for linings. The plaid hat and the plaid scarf nre two other Important landscape notes.

For them there Is this consolation. While minor ten dencies of the mode are often predict ed before the openings, it is the cus tom of Paris to be entirely mute con cerning basic changes until the actual moment when the new styles are launched. Which Is possibly the case in the present instance. The London Modes. Since the early days of Vurdon, Ray and the memorable Dohertys, England and the social sports have been indis solubly linked. From this alliance there has come a type of sportswom en’s clothes which bears the stamp of London as clearly as the Jenny or Lanvin frock carries the mark of Paris. It is recognizable anywhere, and it is Flesh Colored Crepe de Chine Cos tume, Chic Sports Model. differentiated from the French sport frock in that it has a distinctly more bristling, active atmosphere. A glance at the Britisli Empire exhibition at Wembley emphasizes this pure Eng lish sports clothes strain despite the fact that the models shown are !he joint contribution of every section of the British empire, from South Africa to Nottingham. Flannel, cretonne, English and Scotch woolens nnd jerseys in many shades and designs are the principal sports fabrics seen at the exhibition. The typical frock is cut on simple lines and Is distinguished by either a complete absence or a minimum of trimming. There is nc attempt at elab oration of details and, for once, Paris is entirely forgotten in a collection of athletic models which express the ac tive English sportswoman and not her passive sisters from other climes. Sports blazers of flannel, trimmed with brass buttons and cut on man nish lines, are particularly effective on links, court or In the galleries. They may be used at the end of the game by the player, or they can be worn In cooler weather by the spectator. Cre tonne coats and Jumpers are hlso In evidence and they serve the same pur poses as the blazer. since the cessation of hostilities the urge toward youthful clothes has rap idly gained momentum, until last sea son every new design, whether created for sub-deb or dowager, was motivated by the ideal of eternal youth. Within certain limits this tendency is distinctly praiseworthy—no one wishes for a return of the times when mature women clothed themselves In sober, straight-laced garments and then settled down to become passive spectators to the end of their days, out when fashion sends forth grandmoth ers with short skirts, short hair and the much-acclaimed natural silhouette. It is obvious that something has blurred the esthetic vision of the crea tors of the mode. Anew mode is in making. In a short time the Paris autumn collections will be ready for the eyes of a waiting world, it is the custom of the 'rnfor tant designers to seek inspiration from historic epochs of the past, and cur suggestion is that they refer to the much-disdained Victorian period for the fall styles of 1924.

Well, the days passed along and the cat was watching the birds early one morning. No one was there to stop him. He had awakened very early so as not to feel satisfied as he always felt after he had had his breakfast. lie wanted to feel hungry and to catch birds. Ah, he would spring upon them. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow, this will be exciting,” he said. And his green eyes looked wicked and sly. "Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow, this will be worth while,” he said again. Ills green eyes looked even more wicked than ever, and oh, how sly they looked. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow, this will be great," he said. "I am all alone to do as I wish. No one will stop me. No one will tempt me with liver and bacon. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow, this will be splendid." And his green eyes looked as though he would have a fine, wicked morning catching birds. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow, tills will be fun. I shall catch them soon now." But he could not catch a single bird. No, not a single one could he catch, lie tried and he tried nnd he tried. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow,” he said. “I am out of practice. I must have more engagements by myself of this kind and then I will get into practice.” Again and again he tried but not a bird could be catch. “Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow,” he com plained. He was becoming quite angry now. No longer did he feel peaceful and happy ns he had when first he had come out this morping. His green eyes looked ungry now. lie was angry with himself nnd yet It was no one’s fault except his own. Well, possibly It was the fault of the family. They always gave him so much food. They always watched out for the birds. They always drove him away when he was looking at the birds. They always made him wear a col lar with many little bells upon it nnd it wa6 so hard not to move those little bells. But it was his own fault for hav ing eaten so much of the food they gave him. He bad grown _ too fat to catch birds. That was -Jl the trouble.

And he purred happily. Aids Scientific Research Sir Alfred Yarrow, a practical engi neer and captain of Industry, recently gave nearly $500,000 for the further ance of scientific research In England. Daddy’s Eveixma Fairy Tale ay ARY GRAHAM BONNER —■ .. .. comic*? it vimiN New*** um.on -■ .ii - Screenings Good for Live Stock Undesirable Farm Product, Consisting Principally of Vai’ious Weed Seeds. (Prepared by tne United State* Department of Agriculture.) There are n dozen reasons why screenings should be separated on the farm nnd fed to live stock, says the United States Department of Agricul ture. Screenings are an undeslruble farm product, consisting principally of weed seeds, cracked nnd shrunken kernels of grain, chaff, broken stems, nnd straws, dirt and other foreign material, and often constitute 10 to 20 per cent of the grain as it comes from the thresher. They should not, how ever, be regarded ns a waste, but should be turned to valuable nccount by feeding them to live stock. Gives Screenings Away. When screenings are sold with the grain they are classed ns docknge, nnd the grain farmer actually gives them away, because his grain Is docked ac cording to the proportion of screen ings it contains. This loss to the grain farmer mounts to huge figures when lurge sections are considered. In 1023, for example, nearly 12,000,000 bushels of screenings were produced, threshed and marketed ns dockage In the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Min nesota and Montana. The sum of $675,000 was paid by the farmers of these states for threshing their screen ings or docknge, and SSOO,OOO was paid to the railroads for hauling It to the terminal markets. Millions of dollars’ worth of good feed was thus given away. The grain farmer was the loser. The average screenings are more nearly equal to oats in composition than any other common feed. Heavy screenings from which the chaffy material hns been removed are nearly equal to com, wheat, or barley In the percentages of the various nutrients. SPECIALISTS MAKE STUDY OF POISONOUS CAMAS PLANT It Affects Sheep More Than Any Other Animal. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Specialists of the U-oited Mates Department of Agriculture engaged In the study of plants poisonous to live stock have recently completed a study of the meadow death enmas, known scientifically os Zygadenus venenosus, which they say Is one of four species most likely to be encoun tered by stockmen using the western range. The other species are grassy death camas, foothill death camas, and mountain death camas. The spe cies known as “meadow" is character istic of the states bordering on the Pacific ocean. It nffects sheep more than any other class of animals, but horses are poisoned by It and some times killed. While It is poisonous to cattle few ore Injured under runge conditions, and swine are probably not harmed at all because they promptly expel the plant by vomiting If they do eat it This species of death camas ha.i about the same poisoning power as the grassy death camas and these two are three times as toxic ns the foothill variety and seven times as toxic as the mountain death camas. Although it takes about the same quantity of meadow camas t : grassy camas to produce symptoms of poison Ing It takes much more of It to pro duce death. Grassy death camas Is the most dangerous, followed by Soy Beans Prefer Heavy Soil and Much Moisture Soy beans prefer the heavier, dark soils and will gtand a great deal of moisture, but if this soil remains wet during the season it should be drained. The soy beans should be properly in oculated, which is best done by mixing three or four quarts of soil secured from a well-inoculated field with each bushel of the seed. Prepare the soil as for corn and sow any time after corn planting, using an early variety. It is believed that the early plantings do better, however, and we would ad vise that this field be planted as soon as the soil can be gotten ready. If the soil Is sour it should be limed and if it has not been fertilized recently it should receive about 100 pounds of acid phosphate per acre. The wet weather this Bpring has been mighty good for potatoes and will be Just as good for late blight. The growers who have been spraying with bordeaux this season have been taking out a good kind of insurance •gainst blight. More than 3,500,000 lambs could have been fed with the wheat screenings that were wasted In the four spring wheat states In 1023 forming the en tire grain ration. The resulting in crease In weight of the lambs, at 12 cents per pound, would have brought $8,500,000 to the farmers. The spring wheat farmers who cleaned their mar ket wheat on the farm In 1023 gained over 5 cents per bushel as a result of the cleaning. Can Remove Screenings. When a former who grows little or no grain wants to feed screenings, he must pay high prices for them in a ready-mixed feed, or must purchase them of the elevator or mill that has separated them. The grain farmer, on the other bund, can separate them at the thresher or granary and feed them as n by-product of his farm. He pays no freight or middleman’s commission. By means of a cleaning machine, the screenings can be removed from wheat or rye at a cost of 2 or 3 cents per hushel. A number of these cleaning machines will be in operation In the spring-wheat states this year as a re sult of the work of the United States Department of Agriculture In showing the feeding value of this product for all kinds of live stock and the practi cability nnd economy of separating It and feeding It on the farm. Killing Wild Garlic A successful method of eradicating wild garlic lb bv spraying with orchard henting oil or wasiO motor oil, which should be easily procured from garage*. This waste oil should be diluted with kerosene until It Is thin enough to per mit spraying with a small pressure sprayer, but not so thin that It will readily run off the plants. First, strnln the oil through several thicknesses of cheesecloth and then apply It as a fine mist. meadow death euuias and foothill death camas which are about equally potent In producing death. Tho results of this Investigation, which was carried on by 0. D. Alarsh and A. 11. Clawson of the bureau of animal Industry, hare been published In Department Bulletin No. 1240 which may be had upon request by those In terested in the detulls of the Investiga tion. Legumes Have High Need for Application of Lime Best returns are secured from lime, by using it for legume crops such as alfalfa or the clovers, says P. F. Schowengerdt, extension soils special ist of the Missouri College of Agri culture. This Is true because the legumes have a higher need for lime than any other farm crops grown in ibis section and because the nitrogen fixing bacteria associated with these crops require a sweet soil In which to do their work. When lime Is applied and the growth (f these soli building crops made more successful the succeeding <-rop yields are also Increased. If, on the other hand, the lime were ap plied fur grain crops alone the return would be much smaller. Wherever farmers apply lime on wheat land In the next fall or winter they should, by all means, sow clover the next spring, for In doing so they will take advantage of their best chance for a profit from liming.
