NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
progression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for way out
of the common to entertain some OF
her young friends will find PRO
gressive dinner party" a jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintances, and it also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too exclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
of small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
eac1 other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex-
perience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told to take certain girl in to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place of the
next one to the right Tor left. This
is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same d.
rection. The girls do not move, so
young men have an opportunity TO
talk to each girl.

q large part of the northern coast Of

to learn by a dispatch from Tripoli

trenches near the Oasis OF Sciara, on
the spot formerly occupied by Roman
imperial gardens, has unearthed an
ancient Greek Venus OF remarkable
beauty. The head and arms are miss
ting, but the torso is in excellent

the famous Capitoline Venus. The
statue has been sent to Rome, where

erly. These points are so we'll taken
care of by artists in millinery that
even the simplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly well thought gut and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines of the Dutch bonnet, the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat in
soft hemp, shows a decided point at
the front and a small, rather pointed
crown, which would be insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape in navy blue
had a wide flange of velvet in the
same color and the loops, or ears,
were Of taffeta silk, also in plain navy
blue Of rather bright shade.
A hood of turcan laid over a cap
shape, covered with black silk, is also
an unusually clever development Of
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolled-up brim is covered with
two folds of black satin and bow Of
ribbon in black satin finishes band
which apparently holds the point Of
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint shirrings,
quillings and ruchings came in with
the return Of fabrics with which they
were used almost half century ago.
A shirred band Of changeable taffeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shown here. Two rosettes of the taft
feta look like big, full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side of the
brim. A short broad plume, in the
colorings of the silk, finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the Illustrations
are very practical models. Although
each hat, it must be conceded, is chic

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H
Hotchkiss of New York, chairman of
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, prior to the last Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen OF
America, gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners, at It's adjourned session In
December last, | write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
of your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit ocieties-placing
itself on firm foundation as to rates
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely, the laws of
nature-or prescribes for its mem
bers either fiat rate, irrespective Of
the age of it's members, or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe. is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when it must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries Of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tificate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he SAYS:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined to complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
a sound basis they have a much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, by reason of its long experience
with large membership, is permitted
to make rate upon its own expert
ence. which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table. which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance is
not a matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each mem
Der shall pay his real share of that
cost Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do we'll to-
take enough time to study the ques-
tion before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
at is unpleasant for the members
of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to pay more for their insurance.
but let them think how much more I'M
pleasant it would he for those 5000,-
0OO women and children, or any OF
them. to be deprived of that protec-
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry That is what all Wood
men should think about"

FIGHTING MACHINES.

II is a half century since Ericsson's
Monitor was launched We have just
passed the anniversary OF that event.
II was an evolution in the art OF naval
to promise permanent change in
theory and practice. What the
Monitor did for us In the crisis which
It was designed to meet is matter OF
history, says the Boston Post. That
low-lying. vicious craft was perhaps
the salvation of our navy. But what
q change in the years that have since
elapsedl The Monitor type has gone
to the scrap heap, and the massive,
towering. stupendous dreadnought has
taken its place. Torpedoboats have
come in, followed by torpedo de-
Btroyers. And the range OF naval OPP
Grafton has been extended. Every
maritime nation has equipped itself
with submarines. and the very latest
is submarine that can fight above
the water and descend with safety
after delivering the fire of its battery.
Under the water and above the land
in the air the power OF destruction is
extending What is the end OF this
development OF the means OF devasta-
ton? Logically. is 1t not the estab-
lishment of universal peace as an in
ternational duty?

results were the average prices for
corn and for hogs at the North Platte
Satisfaction during the six years pre-
ceding 1911. The price of corn was
AZ cts. per bushel The price of hogs
when put into the experiment and
when taken out was $500 per 100 lbs.
The price of alfalfa hay was $500 per
ton. of chopped alfalfa $1,000 per ton,
and of alfalfa-meal $500 per ton. The
only item of cost taken into account
is the feed The labor and investment,
being about equal for all lots, is not
considered.
The corn was ground for all the
hogs. The chopped alfalfa and the
alfalfa-meal were mixed with the
ground corn. All feed was moistened
in the trough. The hogs were fed from
the first of November until the first of
February, or three months.
The rations are arranged above ac-
cording to the profit on the pigs fat
tened on each ration. The most profit
able ration, corn with alfalfa hay. fed
in a rack, is at the top of the list. The
first three rations stand closely to-
gether Corn seems to have a station
AIRY place between ration of 10 parts
alfalfa and 80 parts corn and a ration
of 25 parts alfalfa and rs parts corn.
With corn worth 60 cents per bushel
ration of one-fourth alfalfa and
three-fourths corn gives nearly the
same profit per pig fattened as a
ration of corn alone.
Where alfalfa was fed in the rack
or where chopped alfalfa or alfalfa
meal were fed in the proportion of
one pound of alfalfa to nine pounds Of
corn, a pound of alfalfa was worth
more than a pound of corn.
Part II gives the results of substi-
tuting other grains and mill products
! for a part of the corn in a ration of
corn and alfalfa for growing and fat
tening hogs. The experiments were
conducted during the summer and
winter, The number of pigs in each
lot varied from 10 to 80. The prices
lsed in computing the results are the
average prices paid for the various
kinds of feeds during the progress oil
the experiments. The results of these
tests given very briefly are as fol
lows:
OF the many rations tried for fat
tening hogs, none has been found the
equal of corn and small percentage
of alfalfa.
A ration of barley and corn with al
falfa does not give as fast gain or al
much profit per hog during the grow
ing and the fattening periods as 1
ration of corn and alfalfa.

decreases the profit per pig during the
fattening period.
The substitution of % parts emmer,
barley, wheat, or milo, for corn, in
ration containing 80 parts corn and 10
parts chopped alfalfa, increases the
cost of gains and decreases the profit
per hog during the fattening period,
excepting emmer, which in this test
only increased the profit per hog. the
wheat increased the gains but de-
creased the profit The emmer also
increased the gain. Barley and milo
decreased the gain as well as the
profit. Milo was worth the same price
per bushel as barley in this test.
The results Of one test indicated
that bushel of corn was worth as
much as a bushel and a half of cane
seed when fed with alfalfa for fatteL-
ing hogs.
Where fall pigs were wintered al d
turned on alfalfa pasture in the spring
there was more profit per pig from
those grown out largely on pasture
and then fattened than from those fed
out more quickly.
Four seasons records show that old
sows being fattened on corn and al
falfa pasture gained pounds per head
daily, ate 955 pounds of corn for 100
pounds of gain. and gave net profit
of over 5 cents daily.

Agricultural Experiment Station)
The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin No. 1913 with
the title, 'Fattening Hogs in Ne
braska."
Part gives the results of fattening
hogs on corn and alfalfa hay. In the
experiments reported, the hogs were
fed the following rations. The proper
tons of alfalfa and corn are given by
weight.
Corn and alfalfa hay in a rack.
Corn parts, chopped alfalfa 1 part.

the experiment was repeated three
times and part of it four times. There
were ten spring shoats used in each
lot. The feeding period began about
November l, when the shoats weighed
1876 pounds each, and continued for

Sandals for Small Children.

If children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have a natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly. We are all taught to point
the toes out when walking. This, how.
ever, is an unnatural position, and
only adds a greater strain on the in
side muscles of ankle and foot, caus-
ing, in many cases, weak ankles and
other foot troubles. Let the toes
point straight in front when standing
or walking, allow the feet to have
plenty of room to grow, select broad,
flat-heeled shoes for your children,
and start them toward manhood on
womanhood with normal feet, strong
ankles, thus lessening the danger Of
corns, bunions and all other foot trou-
bles.

tion Is Given.

The relation of fat to milk is one
of the partly unsolved problems of
dairying, says The Chemist. We do
not know why, absolutely, but we
know that COW will vary from day
to day. 1t is sometimes due to fright
and unkind handling. II you take
COW that is ordinarily quiet and run
a needle into her, or hit her with
club or disturb her tranquility in some
other way, the yield of milk will be
she has what is called a nervous tenn
permanent, and is a very sensitive COW,
there will be a very marked differ
ence in the yield of milk, and not
nearly so much fat will be produced.
The variation in the yield of milk is
greater than the variation in the field
of fat. | remember, writes Professor
Van Norman, the figures in one he1 d
in which one COW varied only four
tenths of one per cent. in a whole
year, while another varied as much as
three per cent. in her yield with no
apparent cause. Sometimes We, our
selves, do not feel so well as we do
on other days. So of the cow. She
may be very sensitive COW, and the
mixer may be little rougher on
some days than on others, and that
may have some effect. A multitude
of influences are at work. The best
dairyman is the one who understands
the largest number of them. The
tester under ordinary conditions is to
be relied on for accuracy. The varia'
ton is not variation of the tester
but variation in the COW.
