WHERE ARE THE TIPPETS1
Crcc All Boys Wore Them, Now
They Are Seldom Seen.
Says OIdsby.

why" said Mr.. Oldsby, why, I'd
like to know, don't boys wear tippets
any more? When was a boy every
toy wore knitted wolien tiVQet.
Some OF these were white, some Of
them were red, some of them were Of
mixed colors. Some were finished
with fringe Of the same material on
the ends, more of them had on each
end a tassel made of the wool; the
fringe used to get ragged with wear
and rough handling or one or both Of
the tassels on tasselled tippet was
sure soon to get torn off,
Many of these uppets that the
boys wore were knitted at home by
their mothers; many Of them We're
bought in store; every dry goods store
kept tppets, you could always see a
line of them hanging up In the store,
and in those days every boy wore one.
They would take turn or two OF
their tippet around their neck and
then make one loose tie In it, not
knot, and let the ends hang down
from front or back. See lot Of boys
IN winter going to or from school or
but sliding down hill or skating and
you'd see around the necks Of these
boys as many tippets.
But where are the tippets now,
and why did the boys stop wearing
them? Boys are not any harder row
than they used to be, are they? Or
did they come to think that tippets
looked girlish, sissified?"

DISEASE SPREAD BY INSECTS
House Fly, Mosquito and eedbue Az
Chief Sources OF Con-
taaion.

A Texas physician has demon
strated that smallpox. admittedly q
filth disease, is communicated only by
the bite of the bedbug. That
yellow fever and malaria are CON-
municable molly by bite Of an In
fected mosquito is also an established
fact. The typhoid scourge has It's In
ception in the filth that is distributed
by the common house fly. Rats scat
ter the bubonic plague, and tubercu'
lcsis is contracted generally through
breathing the germs that are carried
In dust With these facts known 1t
would seem an easy task to reduce or
eliminate the hazard to life that Is
found in these dread diseases. MosQui'
toes may be eliminated by proper
drainage Of stagnant pools or by OIL
ing the surface Of such pools. They
do not breed in considerable numbers
save in dead water. Those that are
not eliminated by precautionary meas
ures may be shut out Of the homes by
proper screening House flies breed
in trash and garbage. Destruction Of
these breeding places will to a large
extent do away with the fly. Those
that are left can be shut out Of the
homes b, proper screening. With
knowledge Of the facts concerning the
origin Of disease the people are able
to make plans for their safety. Con-
certed effort Is necessary, however,
and the civic pride Of every communi
ty should be enlisted In warfare
against known dangers such as are
found in the presence Of flies and
mosquitoes.

WHERE GOLD ACCUMULATEs
Nsoosa Passes All Other Countries
IN Hoarding Up the Pre-.
oious Metal.

In ten years Russia has added $780,
100000 to its stock Of gold, raising the
sotal IN the treasury to s704oO0, 600.
Even France has been passed in the
contest Of accumulation; in ten years
<ne Bank Of France has increased its
supply Of the metal by 1926, 100000,
raising the total to sG7S,OOO, 600. One
year ago Russia held less than France,
out In the interval the former has
Sained $50, 900, while the latter has
sost $63,OOO,O00. 1t may be learned
With some surprise that Italy ranks
talrd as an accumulation of gold
since 1900, It's stock having risen from
VI, 100000 to $194 100000, a gain Of
$117,000.0o0. Germany has gained
only a little over s5,OOO,OOO, while the
Bank Of England's increase has aver
assd only 100000 per annum, or less
than $33, ,o00,0 in all. It's gold supply
soday stands Just under 100000, 900,
which Is exceeded not only by Russia
ana France, but by Austro-Hungary,
and Is only $5,000,o0O above Germany's,
and 100000 above Italy's stock,
while. Of course, 1t is little more than
hall the amount held by the New
York clearing house banks alone, to
Gay nothing of the billion odd dollars
that Is retained in the United States
treasury. Twenty years ago France
hold only }263,000,0O0, Germany $685.
100000. England s113,OO0,000 and
Austria Hungary the insignificant TO-
til Of $22.00o,oo, against s227OoO,ooo
today. At home, the New York clear

DaEtment have added s7S2,S4f,275 to

pamp-Proof Shoes.

When one is sentive to dampness,

keep out dampness, but if repeated

Lace Waistcoats.

A lace manufacturer at New Saw
ley, near Derby, is making lace-trim
med waistcoats for men. He is using
light dress net over tinted clotl.
backgrounds. A black net over q
dark purple cloth, for morning wear
and white net over pale green cloth
for evening wear are two Of the com
binations. The effect is said to b.
both rich and artistic.
A Nottingham lace manufacturer
interviewed as to the prospect Of lace
waistcoats finding favor with the pub
lic said that while the trade woul,,
naturally welcome any innovation
which would tend to create demant

Connecticut Farmers Against Rabbit.

Connecticut Farmers Against Rabbit.
Most assuredly the proposed protec-

upon catches and by lessening the
opening season will not be approved
BY farmers and fruit growers. Under
present limitations rabbits have null
tiplied until they have become almost
a plague.
Their principal offense is the grid.
ling of fruit trees, to which they are
strongly addicted even when the
ground is not snow-covered So far
as known they serve no useful pur:
pose except as food; their pe]ts are
next to valueless. bringing only a
cent each and SLOW sale" even at
that price. Farmers bring the addi'
tlonal charge that rabbit hunters tear
down and do not reconstruct their
fences. and this complaint is founded
upon facts.-Bridgeport Farmer.
