farmers have bought up forty acre

A similar project is being planned
over on the land holdings originally

are now owned by the Hanscom

headed by DR.. F. z. Hansco'n Of that

The sale OF olive oil constitutes
one of the largest items OF revenue
10 California. Although olives have
been grown the1O for more than half
a century, the quantity OF fruit sold
outside OF the State before 1900 was
Insignificant.
Forming themselves into an asso-
citation a number OF the large grow
ers have taken steps since then TO
compete with italy and France in
selling their product, and have sue
ceeded 90 such an extent that they
manufacture a large proportion OF
the 100000 gallons OF olive oil at
present produced in this country.
One ton OF olives usually yields
thirty 20 thirty-hve gallons Of oil.
For the Eastern trade the Califor-
MIA association has established an ex-
tensive bottling plant in New Eng.

that make such attractive warm

the guimpe sleeves appropriately can
be made from all-over lace, embroid-
cry, net or lingerie material. In
deed, embroidered muslin is especi-

French designers and always gives
an air of daintiness to any gown. The
trimming in this instance is bands

fi:iish of the braid but applique or
embroidery can be substituted. In
deed, trimming is always a matter
OF individual taste and preference
and can be varied again and again.
The waist is made with a fitted
lining, which is faced TO form the

back. These last are tucked at their
upper edges and are softly full be-
low while there is a trimming band
arranged over the upper edge. The

is that of a young girl who, asked
TO name her vocation, says that she
is only "a window-pane!" Which
| curious CocknOyism translated into
English means that she earns her
living by exhibiting herself and in
cidentally some new hair-restorer or
quack medicine in the centre OF a

hear as from some pit Of doom the
cry for the "a-pence;" shuddered
again.
