CARCOES TO NEUTRA[S,c
NOT OF WAR
Solicitor Johnson of State Depart
ment So Explains to
Trade Conference. ..-...,

Export cargoes from belligerent ma
tions to neutral nations could not be
b. considered contraband of war if the
good faith of the shipment was estab-
lfshed, according to the statement of
Solicitor johnson of the State Depart
ment at the trade conference yesterday.
The conference was called by the Com
merce and State departments to devise
ways and means for getting shipments
from Germany Of sugar beet seed. dye
etuffs. cyanide and other chemicals
needed by American industries.
Secretary Redfeld, chairman of the
conference. will in few days confer
with a committee appointed at the
meeting, when future plans for obtain
Ing the German shipments will be
made. The Secretary explained that
The commercial attache to the Ameri-
can embassy at Berlin would be imme-
dtately sent to Rotterdam, if that prov
while American business interests
could be served. The general plan dis
cussed would place upon the consular
service the duty of transmitting or
ders from this country to German firms
afd also supplying data as to interior
transportation in Germany.
To Seek Safe Transportation.
Secretary Bryan was present to give
his personal assurance that the State
Department would act as a medium of
communication between American buy
efs and German sellers. Whenever a
shipment was ready at Rotterdam to
be placed aboard an American vessel
bound to the United States, he said. in
auiries would be made of the belliger-
ents, which he felt little doubt would
insure safe TRANSPORTATION
1t was pointed out to the conference
that Germany had removed the ban
Arst placed on the eXportation of the
commodities mentioned, but insisted
that they should be carried in Ameri
can vessels and under guarantees that
they would not be re-exported from
the United States to any power at war
with Germany. The first agreement
obtained by Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin specified neutral bottoms. but
this was changed later to American
bottoms on the theory, it was ASSUME
ed, that Dutch vessels might be held
up by English cruisers and the goods
taken by a prize court If needed in
England.

TAKE TIME TO SELECT VEIL
Extremely important Part Of Feminine
Costume According to FASH
ions of Today.

An ill-chosen veil. a soiled one, a
veil that is fastened askew, or is too
tight or too loose. can destroy all the
beauties of the hat and neatly arrang-
ed hair that it covers, while a really
pretty veil which is carefully put on
will give the final touch of dainty
smartness to the wearer's appearance.
The most satisfactory veil for both
wear and good looks is a fine silk one.
Don't buy the cheap limitations in stiff
fened cotton. The sticky dressing that
is put on soon somes off and the veil
easily crumples and tears. The silk
wells can be bought for about twice as
much. but will outwear three or four
Of the cheaper wells.
Besides the quality of a veil the pat
tern and color must be chosen with
care. Large women with pronounced
features may wear wells with striking
patterns and look well, while the deli
cate features of a smaller woman
would be almost hidden by a veil OF
the same design.
No matter how pretty your veil may
he it will only mar your appearance
/ if it is not put on properly. 1t is hard
to tell which is more unattractive, a
veil that is too loose or one that is too
tight To wear with the fashionable
small hat, buy just enough yelling to
go around the hat and meet in the
middle of the back brim, allowing
enough for drawing the ends together
and twisting around each other, and
not buy any more. To ease the vel
over the face, pin plat at each side
of the crown. taking in the fullness
above the brim edge. On large hat
| there will be more fullness than on
a narrow brim hat.
A veil needs frequent washing or
changing Any color silk veil is easily
washed in alcohol.

Embroidery Touches.

Dame Fashion has advanced in the
embroidery line on the newest Paris

the tunic of a graceful evening gown,
and found again on the bodice of this
same creation or it is merely touch

broidered waistcoat or an elaborate

the frock would otherwise have been

PLANTING THE POTATO
LARGE SEED PIECES AFFORD
QUITE EARLY CROP.
Expediency o. Cutting Tuber Length
wise Is Suggested to Secure One
or More of Eyes on Each Slice
Variety Of Importance.

Prominent Investigators are author
ity for the statement that large seed
pieces (either large cuttings or entire
potatoes) afford an earlier crop than
very small cuttings, matter OF much
interest to growers of early potatoes.
However, some growers report that
uncut potatoes g,rminate more slowly
than large cuttings. Most OF those
who raise potatoes for the early mar
ket use large cuttings rather than
whole potatoes. In this connection 1T
may be sad that the seed-end half
gives an earlier crop than the other
half. This suggests the expediency Of
cutting a potato lengthwise, thus Sc
curing on each piece one or more OF
the eyes which terminate first.
No definite rule can be given as to
the best size of seed piece, for this
depends somewhat on the distance
between the hills and on the char
acter of the soil and season. Another
important factor is variety, some
varieties being able to produce crop
almost as large from small cuttings
as from large pieces.
A study of more than a hundred
experiments testing the relative values
Of large, medium, and small uncut
tubers confirms the general rule that
an increase in the weight OF seed
planted affords an increase in the

amounts to 100000.
One hundred and two thousand dol
lars a ycar-simply for interest on

man pause. One would think Morgan
would wish to turn over his collections
to the American people simply to get
il off his mind, to use homely phrase.
Also TO get the annual premium pay
ment off his profit and loss account
What is the moving factor?
According to many it is hot anger at
the American people for assailing his
ldtUtI > lutIlOly at lllC tiihN 49,
demanding the gift Of S50,O0O.OOO in
things beautiful to look at.
According to others It is his anger
at the city of New York in the i'll
housing of the collections. and dilatori-
ness in erecting further museum build
ings. 1t is notorious that the elder
Morgan was displeased at the city
fathers sloth. But would the latter
have let this influence him to such
an extent as to despise the proposed
gifts themselves?
It must be concluded that the elder
Morgan intended his enormous collec-
tons for the American people. 1t Is
inconceivable that he collected stead
lily and eagerly all the years OF his
manhood without some object in view.
1t is inconceivable that he expected
his son to sell these lovingly assem-
bled objects. He would not have
wished to burden his sons life with
the care and bother of them all. II Is
the obvious answer that he meant
these things for his country.
And truly a wonderful heritage 1t Is
which Mr.. Morgan left. whether to his
son or to the American people. The
greatest collectors of Europe have
left behind them stores which are
shabby in the art sense when COM
pared with the almost limitless collec-
lions of Mr.. Morgan.
This colossal hoard was not collect
ed hastily. 1t Is not the product SIM
ply of lavish expenditure.
Mr.. Morgan was ever a discriminate
ing buyer. seeking I've best and getting
! it regardless of the cost. He was a
genuine lover of art and a close stu.
dent CT its history.
The agents who at his bidding ran
sacked Europe year after year In
search Of it's rare and beautiful things
operated under the direction Of the
master mind.
The part of the Morgan collection
which has attracted widest attention
| is the immense treasure OF beautiful
things that was originally displayed in
the Victoria and Albert museum in
! South Kensington, London. 1t is now
housed in the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, much of it is still unpacked.

The ideal type of dairy COW is not
large but bony and muscular, large
between the nose and eyes with a
strong jaw and broad muzzle.
a bright and prominent eye denotes
brain power and strong nerve force.
which are both essential points TO be
observed in selecting a dairy cow.
A good clean-cut neck and a re-

dairy
The backbone should not be too
straight, but slightly depressed be-
hind the shoulders.
AS far as a good type of dairy COW
is concerned, all the breeds are OF
similar types, but all good cows are
not of the same type; but all perform
ers have some certain well fixed char
acteristics that distinguish them as
dairy animals.
No man can select good dairy cows
every time, for there are many in
ternal defects Of which there are no
outward sign of appearance. Form,
however, Is the best known guide to
select by.

young New York to the first rank as a

When J. Pierpont Morgan the elder

money, but with il several very oner-
GUS burdens. He left him the duty OF
explaining a series of colossal finan-

Morgan had been little save a specta-

the globe. He left him church duties.
