"OUR CLOTHES NOT HONEST” They're Just an Imitation From Be ginning to End, a College Wom an Lecturer Declares. Woman and clothes was one of the principal subjects discussed at the course In home economics conducted by the Pennsylvania state college in conjunction with its extension school, the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times states. Miss M. June Newcomb, the lecturer, Criticized her sisters for blindly fol lowing fashions whether those fash ions were suitable to them or not. The seriousness of the clothes problem, in its moral, spiritual, physical find eco nomic bearing on life and character, was dwelt on by Miss Newcomb, who among other things, said: “So deeply ha.ve we become involved in the matter of clothes that it will take the courage of strong convictl*m to free ourselves, and these convictions must he built on strong principles. “So anxious are we, to dress like some one else or according to some style shown in a shop window that our clothes are not honest. They are imi tation from beginning to end. In truth most of fashion in dress is Just that of Imitation. What is the most glar ing phase of the problem at the pres ent time Is the proportion of income spent for clothes. Working girls de termined to be iii fashion spend their whole salary on their clothes, cat in sufficient. food and are physical if not moral wrecks in a few years as a re sult.” HAD AN EXCELLENT REASON Witness Explains How He Knew All About Dead Man Without Ever Having Seen Him. The learned counsel in the great will ease literally beamed with joy. Here was a witness who was everything a witness should lie. “I congratulate you, sir,” he suid, en thusiastically. "Your memory for de tail does you Infinite credit. And on behalf of the numerous relatives of the testator who are present iu court 1 should like to thunk you for the very flattering, though none the less truth ful, description that you have Just given of the esteemed gentleman who Is now, alas! no more.” A murmur of applause went round the crowded court. "I presume,” continued the learned counsel, “that you were very intimate .with the testator during iiis lifetime?” The witness hesitated and blushed n crimson red. “N-n-uo,” he answered, lamely. “In fact, I never saw him in luy life." “Hut, really, sir,” cried the lawyer, in surprise. “1 fall to see how you could give such an accurate and natter ing description of him if you never saw him!” The witness gave a very sickly smilo. "Perhaps you will understand bet ter,” he said, “when I tell you that 1 married Ills widow!”—ltochester Times. Glass Plates Replace Films. Glass plates, readily printed from negatives, are being used in place of expensive films, in producing motion pictures for the laaue. In the liettinl apparatus, about 000 small views are contained in rows on a single plate 5 by 8 Inches In size, and such a plate' replaces 70 or SO feet of Him, The lens is moved mechanically along the rows, at each end that change from one row to the next is made without ltleker. A continuous succession of plates may he passed through, and the change from plate to plate is made au tomatically without interruption of the scenes thrown upon the screen. In a still simpler apparatus, the views are printed spirally upon noniuflammable disks of celluloidlike material, each se ries being limited to the capacity of one disk or record. Professional Nursing New. “Thirty years ago professional nurs ing was unknown. The cure of the sick was left to the untrained, elderly women who were looked upon much us cooks are regarded today as In feriors who did the disagreeable tasks of the sick room and kept tiresome vigils, but of whom little trained in telligence was expected. With a grow ing knowledge of microbes, antisep tics, disinfectants, the speed demand ed In the operating room, requiring an intimate knowledge of numerous In struments upon the part of an assist ant and their rapid supply to the op erator, the world learned that nurses required training, and their occupation was elevated to a profession. Thunder and Theology. Two negroes were caught iu a fer ritic thunderstorm in the South nud took refuge iu a barn, but before they could enter they were completely drenched. The thunder crashed and pealed be tween flashes of lightning and bliud ing dashes of rain.

Especially in North Georgia the Soy fiean should receive more atttention than lias been given It in the past. For a grain producer on good soils this crop can scarcely be surpassed. It yields more bushels of grain per acre than do Cowpeas and the grain is rich in protein. For hog grazing it stands as North Georgia's most promising crop. Soy Beans will not produce well on poor worn lands however and should never be planted there. The Cowpea will remain the best legume for this kind of land. It seems to stand ad ver.-.e edttililions here better than the soy bean but on good land the soy bean is hardier. For grain soy beans should be planted In 30 inch rows and culti vated once or twice. By this method a larger crop will be grown. Beans planted in this manner during early spring will be ready to graze from August to October depending on the variety. The Ito San and iiamber landt are examples of early kinds and the Mammoth Yellow and Black of late kinds. An average yield should graze .from eight to fifteen 100 pound hogs for thirty days. Graz ing may be begun as soon as the pods turn yellow. For hay the soy bean will be used largely on rich land where Cowpeas are inclined to fall down and tangle. The soy bean plants grow erect so are easy handled. The yield is usu ally a little greater than the yield ;if cowpeas, but there is some more waste in feeding it. The same rate of seeding employed with cowpeas should be used. For grain only a half bushel per acre will be neces sary. Soy beans are susceptible to wilt and nematodes hence should not be grown on lands Infested with either of these. In South Georgia the crop fails to seed quite often hut always makes a good yield of hay. Upland Rice R. R. Childs, Scientific Assistant Cereal Investigations, U. S. Dept, of Agr., Co-operating with Georgia St. Col. of Agriculture Owing to the inevitable shortage of food stuff caused by the war, the peo pie of Georgia are urged to make ibeir farms self-sustaining by growing food crops. While rice is best grown on irri gated soils some good yields have been made on lands that were not ir rigated and there are many farms in the state on which this crop can be profitably grown under present con ditions. According to the census of 1910 Georgia grew 148,698 bushels of rice, 7,983 bushels of which were grown without irrigation. Thirty-two differ ent counties were represented, these counties being scattered through all sections of the state. On most of these areas the. yields ranged from 20 to 50 bushels l>er acre. For the culture of rice without irri gatiort, the best soils are drained ponds, or moist bottom lands. The rice ifc usually planted In rows just wide enough to permit cultivation. The seed are dropped in hills from 6 to 12 inches apart, several seed being dropped in each hill. Several cultiva tions and hoeings are usually neces sary to keep down weeds and grass. In some sections of north Georgia, the rice is sowed broadcast or with a grain drill, the natural spring rises of the rivers being depended on to fur nish irrigation. The rice can be harvested and thrashed in the same manner as the other gngin crops. The rough rice must he milled to remove the outer husk before it Is suitable for food. There are a number of small mills for tijis, purpose In the state, but if none fs available the hull can be re moved by placing' 4 ho rice in a trough made by hollowing out a log and pounding it with n maul. This rice will not be as highly pol ished as that found on the market, but the dark unpolished rice is more nutritious than the pure white rice found on the market as the outer lay ers of the latter, which are very rich in protein, are removed in the polish ing process. Beans T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti. culture, State College of Beans, cowpeas and like legumi nous crops should be extensively grown on the Georgia farms this year. From ten to twenty bushels of dried beans can be expected from an acre of ground, and these food stuffs will partially take the place of meat, as beans contain a great deal of pro tein. This crop is easily grown and easily stored, as the weevils can be controlled through the simple fumi gation with carbon bisulphide. We are not a bean eating people. We are however, great meat eaters, and the present conditions existing in this coun try are going to necessitate the pro duction of food stuffs at home. We cannot produce meats as rapidly as they will be consumed, therefore, we must fall back on the various legumi nous cropa, such as beans and peas, to take v/w place of meats. PEAHSOX TRIBUNE, MAY, 24 ii>l7 Another Way to Rejuvenate Eggs. A Maryland man has found a means of preserving eggs with a substance known as "liquid petrolatum," which he claims will rapidly penetrate eggs, when applied externally, and make them proof against moisture or bac teria. The preserving substance is a mixture of hydro-carbons. When properly treated, eggs can be preserved under a normal temperature for many weeks without deteriorating.—Popular Science Monthly. How Much Dust in Air? A scientist Is using an ingenious new method of ascertaining just how much dust and smoke the atmosphere con tains.

After a half hour’s exposure the rib bon is automatically moved on and a fresh surface exposed. Freezing Coconuts to Get at Milk. A Pennsylvania man has devised a means of removing coconut shells by freezing the nut until the shell is slightly contracted, and then subject ing it to a comparatively high tempera ture so as to cuuse rapid expansion.

One mother used a clever device to keep tier ever-restless youngster from crawling away all the time. She got a large soft gray blanket and cut out gay designs from the nursery books, which she sewed on the blanket. The pictures were made of linen, from one of those linen children’s books sold in all the shops. The bright pictures at tracted the child’s attention, nud he would sit for hours looking at them and picking at them. A baby fence around the rug completed the outfit. $16.05 FROM PEARSON WASHINGTON D. C. " ■ VIA r ~ THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE “The Standard Railroad cf the South Account U. C.V.
