overskirts, in Moderate Form, Bid
Fair to Be Feature of the
Spring Frocks.

While overskirts pure and simple
have not yet arrived in such numbers
rs to be noticeable, the trend in that
direction is very evident. They are
sure to arrive before long. The tunic
is becoming more of drapery every
day, and 1t is very probable that by
spring the Topped oyerskirt, though
called tunic, will have arrived
This year the tunic is in many in
stances the most important part of
the costume It is made all in one
piece, cut to swathe the figure, and Is
a kind of princess made short enough
ito be fastened up on one side and

continue to be as tight as they will,

TUNES for the most part fasten in at
one side In the front, one part tapping
over the other.

CLUBS INSTEAD OF SALOONS
Many Social institutions Formed in
Birmingham, England, in Which
No Intoxicants are Allowed.

There are in Birmingham, England.
sixty-six social clubs in which no in
toxicants are allowed. About forty
are self-supportfng. Eleven are car
ried on in what were formerly public
houses. Twelve clubs meet only once
a week, but all the others are open
nightly except Sundays Most of them
are open Saturday afternoon, also.
A SOCIAL Institutes union also con-
verts five corporation swimming baths
into free social recreation halls in the
winter months. These institutions are
quite distinct from sporting, trade,
benefit, musical and other sectional
clubs. There are also thirty-five Good
Templar lodges in the vicinity of the
city.
The Good Templars have many
lodges open weekly in Birmingham
and 200 in London; others can fire.
Quent social clubs and drink free tenn
perance concerts if they will. Sir
Thomas Whitaker and others are
opening large temperance billiard
halls about the country with many at
fractions of a wholesome kind; the
churchmen and the Methodists have
provided great social centers, and
other churches are doing the like. 1t
is therefore not fact that working
men go to the public house because
they have nowhere else to go.

The court records of lower Bavaria
for the year 1910, the latest officially
recorded, showed an increase during
the year in the number of fatal as
saults. According to correspondence
of the German temperance press,
stabbing was the most frequent meth
cd of assault, amounting to Is cases
out of every 90 Most of the
criminal deeds were committed at
night between IL and 2 o'clock. and
IL out of every 90 occurred either in
the saloons, before them, or on their
way home from them. Only one In
that number took place in the
workshop, one in the home and one in
the woods.
In IS cases q large amount OF beer
had been consumed before the deed
was committed, or the criminal was
habitnal heavy drinker. Thirteen lives
were lost on Sunday, the other seven
on work days.
These facts, particularly the time
and place, show very clearly the cause
OF these evils and point the way 10
their correction.

KILL BOIL WEEVLs
Necessity of Reducing Number OF
Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step In Producing Cot
ton as Found by Experimenters Is
Destruction of Foliage and
Squares.

(By G. II. AFFORD, Special Agent of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work, Jackson, Miss)
This is lesson No. one. and it should
be thoroughly learned. The need OF
SO reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weevils to the mini
mum: First. completely denude the cot
ton stalks of foliage, squares and
bolls, the weevils sole food supply,
pillow the stalks under good and deep,
or burn the stalks at the earliest pos
sible moment in the fall. Second. at
some time during the winter destroy
the rubbish in and about the fields
which might serve as alternating
quar- ters for weevils. Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
in the spring pick them off and destroy
them. Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares ard destroy them for at least
one mon,h after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau of entomology, the farm
ers' demonstration work, the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
Thousands of successful farmers point
to the supreme Importance of the early
fall destruction of the boil weevirs
sole food supply, the squares. small
bolts, and foliage on the cotton stalks.
The conclusion reached by thousands
of experimenters justify me in making
the statement that the most impor-
liant step in producing cotton in boil
weevil territory is the early fall de-
struction of the foliage, squares, and
immature punctured bolls on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, / feel almost JUS
titled in saying that the early fall de-
struction of the cotton stalks outbal-
ances all other remedies that may be
employed to destroy the weovils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau of Entomology in Calhoun
County. Tex, the stalks growing on
40 acres of land were destroyed early
in October. Careful records kept dur
ing the following season showed that
the destruction of stalks on this land
increased the yield s14.56 per acre.
An experiment was conducted on OPP
posite sides of the Guadalupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part of
September, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until in spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de-
stroyed made Is bales. Forty acres
on the other farm made and IL bales.
