the red juice is really blood, and to

WHY EMPLOYERS WANT YOUNG MEN

An editor OF daily paper, when asked why he
did not employ men over fifty, replied Although a
man may do just as much work after this age he
takes himself too seriously. He did not like to
have people around him from whom the youthful
spirit had evapOrated. He wanted optimsm-rnen
in whom hope was large. He wanted the exuber-
anee, the enthusiasm and the zest which usually
belongs to younger men,

POWER FROM POTATOES,

According to writer in the Kansas Industrialist
culled potatoes will be furnishing the power for the
gang pillow and the engine the farm before many
more years go by The writer says that bushel
OF culled potatoes is worth Sc cents Turned into
denatured alcohol they would be worth Is cents
The rouess of extract the alcohol is not one that
all right.
Alcohol is produced Ny the fermentation of sugar.
Potatoes contain starch that may be converted into
sugar by the addition of malt and then fermented.
The potatoes are steamed until the starch is cooked
thoroughly. Then the malt is added. When the
starch has been converted into sugar yeast mash
is added and the sugar is fermented. What is left
from the potato mash be fed to cattle Expert
ments have proved that the mash has high feed
ing value
Denatured alcohol is used for heating and light
Ing, IN chemicals, in varnshes in explosives and
as fuel Tor engines. For some years the tax laws
were such that alcohol too expensive as fuel
Tor engines. For this machinery has not been
adapted for using denaeured alcohol But It il CON-
ing into use.
The United States department of agriculture has
issued bulletin recently this subject. Denatured
alcohol is being extracted from potatoes in other
countries with success
dstllery for this sort of work might ba con
utcteo oy farmers cooper association or as
d private enterprise. A plant with daily capacity
OF 5000 pounds of potatoes would cost approx
natey $4,000. This is larger considerably than
would be practicable for cooperative ENTERPRISE

Furs for Half Mourning.

A good deal OF attention has been paid
this season by the fur designers TO proper
styles for women in mourning and half
mourning. Those in full mourning have
little trouble in making a selection for
any Of the all-black furs IS appropriate
fox or seal, or Persian. or pony, or cara
cul. But seldom has the woman Just
emerging from all-black been so well
cared for in the matter of muffs and
coats. Black and white combinations of
all sorts are seen. OF course. a good
many of these are entirely suitable for
wear with the popular black and white
non-mourning costumes as well, although
those in which black yelling over white
appears as a supplement to the fur are
decidedly mourning in suggestion.
So long as the sharp contrast between
white and black Is secured and no fancy
trimming appears the shape of the ar
ticle may be as odd and fanciful as the
wearer pleases and still be we'll within
the mourning limits. For instance, one
set in seal and ermine-a favorite combi
nation-has muff with two long point.

Fashions and Fads.

Feather fans appear again.
The craze for one-sided effects shows
little abatement.
Blue is the leading color for young girls
school suits.
Nearly all the new raincoats are in
mannish style.
The brims of new chapeaux are turned
mp at the side front or back.
Gold lace is used to great extent to
trim white lace blouses for the matinee.
New cuff links for men are short bars
of platinum with tiny pearls at each end.
The big daa}ling rever is u persistent
feature and even more favored than the
wide side frill.

DETACHABLE COLLARS
FOR POLO COATS

The woman who has big woolly coat
that is minus the conspicuous revers and
cuffs of contrasting color that mark this
years styles may easily make her coat
up-to-date by adding a detachable collar
and cuffs in white. These sets come In
the polo cloths and in corduroy, and some
of them are finished with wool fringe
in shawl style.
There are also coat sets in striped silks
which are very smart for other coats
than the polo models.
A new fastening for the stfff linen col
lar Is an ornament OF metal or passe-
menterie, very elaborate and having q
dangling, glittering something suspended
from the body of it. This Is mounted
on pin and fastens across the open
ing of the collar. replacing the tie.
The new pearl necklaces are fastened fr
back with jeweled clasps. A large sap
phire is one of the prettiest that has beer
seen.
One of the new evening coats has thu

Combination Effects.

| Very odd effects are obtained In some
of the new furs by combining several
colors and kinds-long and short haired,
| light and dark. One of the most un-
usual of these is muff and scarf set
with a founda ton of pure white ermine
which is almost hidden by stripes, set
very close together, of narrow pieces OF
brown fox-not half an inch in width
/ More than twenty of these strips OF
brown are needed on the muf alone and
ten or twelve on the wide scarf.
A panel of Persian runs down the full
length of a long coat of sealskin.
GRAY velvet brocade is draped to form
a very handsome large mnff. The soft
fabric is caught up in two places. one
above the other, and held at each with
sable head. One of the little sable
skins Isl used as a border at each end
of the muf.
The small size and the suppleness OF
moIeskins make them applicable TO the
most extreme of novel forms and TO
drapery of various kinds. Moleskin coats
are made on very artistic lines, and
there are muffs in this soft gray fur in
many new shapes. one pretty style mas
the bottom rounded in two great scallops.
MOleSkln alSO IldhtS UP very Wcu INV
handbass-not the great fuzzy affairs that
rival the muffs and that show no sort
of mounting, but dainty bags of medium
size with dull silver mounting and long
gray cords They may accompany sets
or hats of the same fur.
Broadtail is another fur that makes
some of these attractive new bags. One
that was seen the other day was worn
with a hat of black velvet trimmed with
broadtail wings bordered in ermine that
resembled the ears on the rabbit in ''The
Spring Maid
An odd muff has alternating rows of err
mine and sea lskin. The former is finished
with a fringe of tails and the latter in
scallopS

combined in one garment as in long

Never in recent years have gowns pre-
sented the sumptuousness Of the present
models. For the forming of the fash
ionable evening gown there is a galaxy
of rich brocades, supple satin and bril-
liant trimmings of gold and silver laces
and sparkling jewels.
As to line and design the prevailing
diagonal cut is the first and foremost
distinguishing feature of the present
fashion In the bodice this diagonal
line serves merely to give play to con
trasting fabrics. The tunic or oyerdrapery
is diagonal: if not in front, then
surely at the back. Often the diagonal
line crosses the bodice and continues or
down the skirt drapery in unbroken eff
feet while many of the stunning bro
cade and satin evening gowns wrap the
figure in a full-length. one-piece diagona
combination of contrasting fabrics. This
diagonal line is given on many gowns
by bands of heavy ecru venise lace, OF
by the metallic silver or gold meshes
Again. fur is effectively used.
Bands of fur encircle the bottom of the
skirt and trim the short lace sleeves OF
handsome gowns. One inspired designer
used "a tiny animal TO stretch over one
bare shoulder and catch up the one side
