A girdle four and half inches wide

In the picture of fancy girdles
shown here very wide ribbons are
employed. The plain girdle is stayed
with feather bone at the front, back
and sides, but those in the wider bro
caded ribbon are placed only at the
ends. There is buckle made of buck

is pinned to the bodice after it is ad-
justed to the figure.
A broad satin ribbon, In a heavy
weight, is laid in five plaits for the
dressy girdle, finished with ribbon
roses. The plaits are tackled with
stitches on the wrong side. which are
invisible on the outside Millinery
stems and foliage are mounted with
the roses.\ The roses are in three
shades of pink and rose. made of
narrow, heavy satin ribbon. This is
not a novelty in girdles, but is a per-
sistent fashion in a good design. 1t
is one of the very prettiest of designs
along this line and is nearly a stable
thing in fashions as we have had for
several years.
Besides the plain and brocaded rib
bons those showing fancy stripes
and those with metallic threads. are
employed in girdles that harmonize

Cahokia creek. Practically all Of the
waterfall of the plateau was formerly
carried through the lower area by the
Cahokia creek to the Mississippi
river
In the event of heavy rainfall the
water from the plateau would augment
the drainage of the lower area, and the
Cahokia creek would overflow its
banks in the lower area. High water
in the Mississippi river and the Ca
hokia creek would frequently occur at
the same time. The Mississippi river
water packing up into the channel of
the Cahokia creek would meet the
downward rush of the water from the
plateau and the result would be a
disastrous overflow. The Mississippi
river inundating the area from the
west and the Cahokia creek overflow
ing in the central part furnished
enough water to almost submerge the
area. These overfiows occurred fire.

fence to traffic and devastation of
property.
Keeping the Mississippi river out of
the area was simply matter of build
ing levee high enough, but harness
ing the Cahokia creek was a problem
presenting number of difficulties.

He kept up his writing on shipboard

One day an approaching storm drove
him inside the cabin and he went
back to work, leaving word with his
daughter, then a very little girl, to ex-

Mary was taking a stroll on deck.

She turned back, crept through the
hole-the lift was working, and in an
instant the kittens were motherless.
For the rest of the voyage a stew

daily supply of milk until the liner
reached Southampton.

CROP NEWS Service

tended to All States.
Department Of Agriculture, Through
Cooperation With Bureau Of Sta
tistics and Weather Bureau, Fur
nish News Quickly to Papers.

w dSNlDSlOu. As result OF re
quests from editors and editorial as
sociatiOns in many states, the United
States department of agriculture has
announced that the November crop re-
ports for each state Will be supplied
TO the newspapers in all states through
The central weather station. located IN
each of the states
This is an extension Of the expert
ment of telegraphing the state crop
returns TO the central weather sta
tons in each of nine states. and hav-
ing these kilograms duplicated at
once and mailed TO the newspapers
and agricultural publications. Under
this plan newspapers IN % additional
states will now receive full details OF
the state crops far more quickly than
would be possible if these state crop
details were put in the mails in Wash
ingtOn and had to travel by train long
distances to the more remote states.
Under this plan, the general sum
mary Of the crops for the United
States will. as heretofore, be issued
III Washington for Geographic dis
tributon. 1t has been found. however.
that the conditions of crops within
their particular states are Of especial
value to the farmers and producers, to
whom the conditions in their own
state are important in the marketing
OF their produce
Under this plan the department
sends one telegram to the central
weather bureau in each state, and
within a few minutes after the crop
figures for the state are completed in
Nashi- gtOn the weather bureau is en-
abled to mail copies Of the figures
from a central point within the state
TO all papers in that state.
Under the code system used. the de
partment is under the necessity OF
telegraphing only a few figures. as
the figures of previous crops for com
parison are supplied to each weather
bureau station by mail. The cost of
the telegram for each state does not
exceed 70 cents.
The Crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers will give: (a)
a full list of the crops: (b) the aver
age condition of each crop for ten year
periods in that particular state; (c)
the condition of the state crop for No
vember 8. In the adjoining column
will be given the same data for the
United States, so that the farmers who
read these notices can compare the
crops in their state as of November
8, with the ten year averages Of their
own state. and in the same way with
the average condition throughout the
United States on November 8. and for
ten years.
These state crop reports are not
supplied to individuals; and are mail
ed only to editors of regular publica-
tons. The November state crop re-
ports for the 80 states newly added
to the list will be sent only to the
daily papers, the county-seat papers,
and agricultural publications. Mean
while. the department is preparing
lists of small town weeklies, and In
December the crop reports will be
sent also to the smaller papers.

GUARDS OFF FLOODS
East Side Levee and Sanitary
District of Illinois.
Section Is a Municipality Chartered by
the State and Has Power to Collect
Taxes to Keep the Mississippi
River Within Bounds.

East st. Louis.-The east side levee
and sanitary district, in which the city
OF East St. Louis is situated, is mu-
nicipalty, chartered by the state of II
liuOis and given power TO levy and
collect taxes for the purpose OF pro
viding food protection and drainage
for a $50 square mile area situated on
the east side Of the Mississippi river,
opposite the city OF St. Louis.
The area extends about 80 miles
along the Mississippi river, and is
bounded on the east by a chain OF
bluffs. Within the area is a large in
dustrial center. and a very prolific ag-
ricultural dietrict. The principal city
in the area is East St Louis, which
has a population Of $4,000. The other
cities are Granite City, National City,
Madison, Venice, Brooklyn, Nameoh
and Cahokia
In the past this area has had to en-
dure many floods, resulting from an
unusual combination of causes. The
estimated cost Of the work provided
for in the present plans of the east
side leyee and sanitary district is &c.
10000. The east side levee and SAM
tary district as a municipality embrace
a large territory, including the cities
mentioned, but is in no way directly
connected with them. The district
is governed by a board of trustees
elected every four years, which board
appoints a chief engineer. treasurer,
a clerk and attorney.
To appreciate the significance of
the measures taken by the east side
levee and sanitary district toguard
against future floods in the area, 1t
is necessary to have a clear under
standing of the causes of the frequent
floods
The area is comparatively low,
and the Mississippi river formerly
spread over a large portion of it.
Through the area runs a stream call
ed Cahokia creek. Lying northwest
of the area is a 200 square mile plat
eau, which forms a watershed for

6 KIRTS for daytime and ordinary
~ wear are draped, but the draping
is achieved in cutting the material
and in shaping the skirt to the figure
rather than in the addition of extra
pieces of goods. But for evening wear
with airy and clinging fabrics. that
weigh nothing, to deal with. the de-
signs pose two or three materials and
several colors together. This is done
without making the skirt cumbersome
in the least
DiaphanOus draperies of this kind
result in the most Elusive and fasci-
mating color effects. One color glows
through another, and with the move
ment of the body in walking or dane
ing several colors are revealed by
themselves and in ever changing com
bination with each other.
Nothing but thin frabrics can be
used in this way One makes a mis-
take to drape a medium weight or
heavy fabric in any but the simplest
manner. The result can only be
clumsy.
Skirts for day wear cut along the
newest lines produce the top" figure,
with broad lines at the hips narrow
ing down to the smallest dimensions
at the feet. They are somewhat short
er, too. than in the early season.
Smartness attends the wearer of these
eccentric lines, if she be slender The
stout woman must forego them.
But for the slender or the heavy
figure, long lines of drapery. like
those shown in the picture, are be-
coming.

Simple TRIMMING.

Black stitching is used effectively
on sheer white waists or batiste and
lawn. There is a simple chick about
the little black lines that no amount
of lace or embroidery could give, says
the New York Press. Use black
thread in making the entire waist
wherever the stitching shows.
1t is best to use white thread for
the inside seams because the black
thread showing through the material
makes a blurred dark line that is
not desirable.
