WHERE BIG LOAN

NORTHWEST WILL GET SHARE
OF $780, 100000 BY PURCHASE
OF WHEAT.
MINING DISTRICTS AS WELL
Commodities Divided Into Ten Great
Glasses and They Come From
Every Section of This
Great Nation.

New York-"How're the allies go
ing to spend their half billion, now
they've got it?" is the question Wall
streets specializing on.
And the financial sharks of the
street answer that more than 30
of the states of the Union are going
to profit directly from the loan to
the extent of many millions of dol
lars, while ultimately and indirectly
the streams of gold will trickle into
practically every corner Of the coun-
try.
Deposited in American banks, the
huge sum of cash that makes up the
Anglo-French loan will be paid out to
American producers, subject to orders
from London. The commodities that
it will be used to purchase have been
divided roughly into ten great classes,
and they come from every section Of
the nation. Based upon the last avail
able export figures, the s500,000,00O
of the loan would be divided up some
what as follows, according to famous
statistician of the street:
Cotton, s137,OO0,00O; wheat, $685.
100000; iron and steel, s21,500, 900;
meat and dairy, sS7,OOO,OO0; copper,
$42 100000; automobiles, $4,000, 900;
horses, $2O,OOO,OOO; leather, 1900
900; tobacco, $19,OOOOOO; wool, $5,-
100000. Total, $50O,000,O00.
These figures are admittedly un-
trustworthy as to proportion; for iron
and steel men are likely to get great
deal more of this half billion than the
table gives, and an enormous portion
of it also may be used to pay MUM
ton makers. The Wall street sharp
figures on munitions credits already
being raised.
But these figures show the vast area
over which the half billion will be
spread.
Flourishing conditions are predict
ed for the south especially. Texas
should get more than S30,000,000 fol
her cotton, Georgia $20,000,000, South
Carolina and Alabama more than s12,
100000, Missouri and Mississippi about
$10,000,000. Alabama will share also
in the money spent for stel manu-
features, Missouri will get some O
that spent for horses and wheat, anc
Texas perhaps $7,OOO,OOO in the sale
of horses. Kentucky, North Carolina
Virginia, Tennessee and Ohio will b,
paid for their tobacco with orders OF
the loan, Kentucky getting about 81
per cent of this item.
The huge sum invested in whea
will go in varying proportions t

remnant Of cretonne or art ticking.
Half q yard viii be ample if one must
buy goods. In all probability there
viii be scraps available for the pur-
pose on hand.
The foundation of the sewing
basket is a cardboard box about nine
inches square and three or four inches
high. These can be had for the ask
ing at any small dry goods store.
The outside IS entirely covered with
the chosen material, carefully FASTING
it down, and then the same is done
upon the inside, but not necessarily
with the same goods The basket is
fitted upon two sides with pockets
drawn up on narrow elastic to hold
thread, thimble and other odds and
ends, while little bolster-like pincush-
ions are sewed to the opposite sides.
Lastly a high handle about IL inches
wide is cut from strong cardboard
and covered with the cretonne. A
couple of good paper fasteners will
secure the handle to the basket. If
the handle is made quite high it will
conveniently carry over the arm. The
sewing on hand can be folded and
placed in the bottom of the basket.
This is a very dainty affair even
though it is home made and should
add to the attractive picture a pretty
girl always makes when occupied in
sewing.

the sewing bag of cretonne This is
Just an ordinary bag made any desired
size, but instead of finishing the top
with drawstring, it is hemmed over
an oval embroidery hoop. This kind
of bag is convenient in that it can

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Small Things of Dress Are What Give
Perfection TO the Costume as
Whole.

1t seems superfUOus to say that the
perfection of the details in dress make
for its complete success more than the
mere dress itself. Yet it must be
owned that many forget this. and it is
not unusual to see a pretty, we'll
dressed woman fail to lcok at her best
because her shoes. her gloves or the
dressing of her hair are not what they
might have been. Even in these days,
when no one cares much about clothes,
personal appearance has to count, and
it is nothing to be ashamed Of.
Paris is filled with women dressed
in navy blue. The amazing thing is
that the people do not get tired of it,
It is to the wardrobe what bread is
to the larder. Its possibilities for COM
plete dowdiness and unequaled smart
ness have no limit 1t can be the most
correct thing in the world and one of
the most Incorrect. You see a woman
Of irreproachable distinction IN a blue
tailor-made, and you see a young per-
son in something very like it and the
effect is entirely different Both can
be quite nice to look at, and which
you like best depends upon your point
of view. like most other things.

BEST KIND OF TABLE COVER
In This, Housewife May Find a SoIu.
tion of Something That Has Been
Trouble to Her,

If you are like most housekeepers,
you have a number of little tables
about the house which are always
needing clean covers. Usually, one
doesn't like to use embroidered cen
terpieces and doilies for the purpose.
for these little tables are more than
likely used as stands for plants or
are little catch-alls which make them
rather trying household children to
keep clean. An excellent solution in
the way of little table dresses is the
plain linen cover ornamented with a
colored edge. Natural colored. oyster
or white linen may be used or even
gray linen (aIl depending upon. the use
Of the little table,, and then the edge
is bound with linen or heavy muslin of
any color that you prefer. The bind
ing, when completed, is an inch in
width and sometimes more. Guard
against colored materials that are in

sonable amount of care in the wash
ing, for no matter how unimportant a
little table may be its dress shouldn't

The pretty blues and pinks make the

Building of Euphrates Dam Calculated

With the completion of the Hindu

the first step has been taken which

Garden of Eden, and the still visible
ruins of the old dams and canals show
how important part was played by
irrigation in the economic prosperity
Of Chaldea and Babylon.

result of devastating wars, Tartar in

is about to be restored to those DESC

In the Society Islands

Pigs represent a kind of concrete

natives of the Society islands. These
animals, in fact, are just as carefully
nursed as children. Only male pigs
are esteemed, however, and are tied

knocking out the upper eyeteeth of

nothing to rub against, grow to sur
prising size, first upward, then down.
until they again reach the jaw, grow
on and on, through the cheek, through
the jawbone. pushing out few other
teeth on the way. Then they come
out of the jaw again and curve sec
