In the new Paris lingerie, the
fashion is to have sets of chemise,
drawers and short petticoat of the
same material and type, and all
trimmed in the same manner Main
sock and very fine batiste are the ma
terials usually employed for their con
struction, the mode of silk underwear
being for the time abandoned. There
are two new fabrics called silk main
sock and silk chiffon, both cotton, but
of very fine weave, and which do not
lose their glossy appearance in wash
ing. These materials have much the
appearance of silk and in garments
made of them lace is p%rofusely used.
The lace composes much of the upper
portion of the chemise and the sleeves

SUGAR BETS AND MOLASSES.

SUGAR BEETS AND MOLASSES.
An acre of sugar beets will produce
224 gallons of alcohol. Our vast irri-
cation projects in the West are water
ing lands which will soon produce
sugar beets more profitably, perhaps,
than any other crops and the molasses
from these crops can readily be turned
into alcohol. A waste product of the
ca e sugar mill, known as base mo-
lasses.' would be another available
source of our commercial alcohol sup
ply. Millions of gallons of this pro-
duced in all the Central and South
American countries and the West In
dies are now largely burned, fed TO
animals or destroyed, although a por-
ton is dumped OF our shores at almost
any price above freight. At New Or
leans, Boston and Brooklyn it is be-
ing worked up into inferior liquors.
The alcohol made from it has a dis
agreeable odor and taste. But if re-
pulsiye matter must be added to It
to make it undrinka' al taX-free,
under the new bill, it will serve as
well as any other alcohol thus manu-
featured for power, heat and light.
Already in Cuba such alcohol from
this base molasses is being made at
10 cents per gallon. The base mo-
lasses itself can be had at New York
at 3 cents a gallon. A similar grade
of base molasses is turned out as Il
by-product by III beet sugar factories.
Ten factories of Michigan send their
produce to a distillery in that state
and produce from it about a half mil
lion gallons of absolute alcohol. But

tories generally goes to waste in other
Yet we sit by and bemOan the
decreasing supply and increasing price
of coal, the diminishing supply of
wood, wonder where we shall turn
next for power, heat and light
whether we shall harness the moon
with tide motors or the sun with solar
engines! Moreover, the production of
eastern petroleum is falling off and
practically no gasoline is being found
n the petroleum of Texas and the
West. And yet, according to DR..

amount of starch and sugar that may

master of the National Gransv, "~J
was pressing the passage in the in
terest of the 100000 farmers of his
organization. These cooperative dis
tilleries would be ,nder close govern
ment supervision, and the alcohol
would be rendered unfit for beverage
purposes before leaving the diStillery
warehouse. In this way the cost to
the farmers of this material for light
ing, heating, cooking and motor fuel
purposes could be kept at the lowest
point.
In Great Britain alcohol made I'M
drinkable by the addition of 5 per at.
of wood alcohol and Il much smaller

sold freely without tax. Since 1887
Germany also had untaXed alcohol for
industrial purposes. France, witzer-
land, Holland, Belgium, Italy. Russia,
Sweden, Norway, AUSTRIA Hungary.
Portugal and six Latin-American re-
publics exact no tax on this 'dena-
tured' alcohol, already regarded as
one of the necessities of agriculture,
