PORCH FROCKs AND
CRErONNEs MORE POPULAR

Porch fIocks and cretonnes are
the present proteges of Fashion. The
first comes as a natural sequence to
the veranda habit, but the latter
descends without reason or forewarn-
ing-an overnight invasion. The very
mode of their entry bespeaks their
duration. 1t is not difficult to pre-
dict that the fad of the porcr frock
is destined to last to the third or the
fourth season; in fact, as long as
porches themselves endure; but the
craze of cretonne, volatile as it is,
is a whirlwind fancy.
Both are American ideas. With the
handicap of Paris temporarily re-
moved. the American designer has
awakened to new activities and, as
ever centers his attention on the
practical, salable side of dress. 1t is
a season of simplicity and conserv-
tism, The one-piece frock, which has
long flourished under the made in
America" label, finds new channel.
Women today think quickly and act
quickly. There is no hesitation, they
like the idea of the porch frock; of
having a costume that fits in with
the swinging hamocks, grass, rugs,
and wicker furniture on the broad
yerandas of their homes.

not surprising that the season has
been called one of Portrait Fash
ions" Certainly, nothing could be
more picturesque than the cretonnes.
Yet. like the porch frocks, they are
simplicity personified. 1t would seem
that stability steadies the whole
mode. Nothing is bizarre or extreme.
These are left to Paris when she
shall once again take up the question
of clothes in earnest. At present we
are satisfied with the altogether
wholesome and womanly styles that
the American designer gives us and
tremble to think that the small
waists of the Catherine de Medici Pc
riod of the tight sheath skirts may
again be thrust upon us.

Life on this side of the Atlantic
grows more methodical. AS distinct

clothes, porch frocks are primarily
biilt for comfort and GOODNESS. The
necks are low, either Dutch fashion
or v-shaped. the sleeves short and
the material sheer. Rose mulls, fig

An attractive pink null is pictured

However variety is not lacking in de-

SMALL TRESHING
OUTFITS ARE BEST.

Fessenden, N. d., Nov. Emil E.
Nelson and one of his neighbors seem
to have solved the threshing PROPOSE
ton to their own satisfaction and
profit. They own small separator,
which is run with three or four teams,
and only one man at the machine, be-
sides a grain hauler. Mr.. Nelson says
that such an outfit is more economical
than stacking, while at the same
time eliminating all the wasteful ex-
pense connected with the operation of
big outfit with cook car, etc. When
rain comes the crew of not over seven
men, divided between the two farm
ers, can always find work blowing or
attending to other fall jobs, and the
great expense of feeding large gang
Of men and herd of horses is done
away with. Mr.. Nelson said that they
kept close tab on all expenses during
the falls threshing operations and
that they made $70O above expenses,
figuring their own threshing at the
regular rate. Many big machine
does not make more than this. With
seven men their little outfit threshcd
as many as 900 bushels Of wheat in
one day.

AUSTRIA 'SIF|NAL PROPOSALS
! REJECTED AND ITALY TAKFS
ONE STEP NEARER WAR
A DECLARATION OF ITALY'S POL
ICY IS EXPECTED TODAY; RUS
SIAN LINE ON RIVER SAN HAS
BEEN DEFINITELY BROKEN
AND TEUTONS HAVE CROSSED
RIVER
(By associated Press.)

London, May 20. .-Austria's final
PROPOSALS have been rejected unani-
mously by the Italian council and
ministers at Rome, and the two ma
tons are a step nearer war. With
the assembling of the Italian parlia-
ment today declaration of the gov
ernment's policy is expected. The
Estalian Green Book, issued today,
shows that Italy's demands which
Austria has failed to satisfy, are
based on the claim that she is en-
titled to compensation for Austria's
advance into Siberia.
The Russian fortified line along
the River San, on which great reli-
ance is placed to check the Austro-
German advance, has been definitely
broken. The claim of the Teutons
that they had crossed the river is
confirmed today in the Russian Off
cial announcement at Petrograd.
przemisl, which the Russians won
from Austria after siege of several
months, is now under attack by the
Ausrians. One Of the greatest bat
ties of the war is apparently i'm
pending along the San, on the north.
The Russians claim successes in op-
erations against the German forces
which invaded the Baltic region.
