The young woman who is going away to school or who must make a daily pilgrimage to the halls of learn ing in her own home town. has now to be provided with a topeoat. This is about the most important item in her apparel It must be durable and comfortable, proof against rain and snow, good looking and up to date.
 There are many styles to choose from-all of them ample in width. and straight-hanging garments. Rough mixtures, in stable colors. thorn tweeds and other fabrics are crava- netted and therefore rainproof. Some of the plainer models are mannish looking and wonderfully smart, espe- cially on certain types of youthful, feminine prettiness. These coats are shorter than those that are developed unmindful Of the mannish touch.
 A fine model is pictured here in a green and light brown mixture. It is long. hanging straight, with full skirt. The fullness is belted in just below the normal waist line, with a very wide belt of the material. The ends of the belt at the front are split

EXTEND AID ID
 COTTON GROWERS
DEFINITE STEPS WERE TAKEn BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 AND SECRETARY M'AOoo.
SPECIAL REDISC0UNT LOANS
S15,o00,0o0 as An Initial Deposit Will Be Made in the Federal Reserve Banks at Richmond, Dallas
 and Atlanta.

Washington. - Definite steps were taken by the Federal Reserve BoaF1 and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo 10 extend aid to cotton growers and to clear the way for handling the fall crop without last years uncertainty and difficulty
 The board issued new regulations. authorizing federal reserve banks to give special rediscount rates on prom issory notes secured by warehouse re- ceipts for staple agricultural products. with the restriction that member banks which avail themselves of this rate must not charge more than six per cent to the borrower.
 MT McAdoo announced he soon would deposit S5O0O.O00 in gold as an initial deposit in each of the federal reserve banks at Richmond Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million dollars more is to be deposited later.
 The secretary said that if conditions showed the need of deposits elsewhere to aid in handling any other crop he would extend similar aid.
 The new regulations are broad enough to supply to all staple readily marketable crops, but it is well known that the cotton crop is the one that has given concern of late
 The board announced that the re serve banks in Atlanta and Dallas all ready had requested a red1scount rate of three per cent on the sort of paper approved in the regulations
 The announcements followed meet ings that have occupied the time of the board and MT. McAdoo most of the last two days. The secretary's s proposal several months ago of depos- its of government funds in Southern reserve banks alone was not favored by several members of the board, but it was not opposed during the recent discussions. Some members indicat- ed, however, that as the total cotton crop probably would be worth about SS00,000000 they did not think s30,- 100000 would go far toward hand ling it.

 The coat is double breasted apd fastens with three buttons at the front The body is cut high at the neck and long at the shoulder The straight, plain sleeves have band about the wrist and, back of 1t, a strap with pointed end finished with a button, is set on.
 4 novel management of the patch pockets is noticeable. The lower part of the belt is extended in a pocket shaped flap at each side and the pocket is set on to this. It is finished with a button. This is an innova- ton in the placing of pockets that has style and something more to reeom- mend it. It is usually at the pockets that the coat must bear the brunt of much wear The give" of the belt is promising-it will prevent the us- ual sagging and tearing at the pockets. which is so destructive.

Here is one Of the newest things Tn gowns. It has distinguished itself by proving to be one of the best sellers" among many competitors in large as seIrblage of medium-prieed lingerie. This is a testimonial to the return to high favor of all the simpler forms of decorative needle work. Everywhere, in lingerie, in dresses and even in mil linery. ornamental needlework is in evidence
 All the pretty. old-fashioned fancy stitches-the 'feather-stitching. eat stitching" sherringbone. shocking and ''buttonhole stitching that disap- peared to make way for showier trim mings. are coming back. They are more lasting than the pretty Cbut somewhat fragile) cheap laces and they have the elegance of handwork- which is always worth while.
 The gown shown here is made of nainsook. Twice the length of the fig ure measured from the neck to the feet and six inches more-allowed for hemming-is required to make it. The material is folded crosswise in the center and the neck opening cut out. The sides are sloped gradually in- ward and then out to the edge of the material, to form the short sleeves.

Al each side Of the middle front a group of eight short tucks is run. The neck opening is hemmed with a very narrow hem. to which a strong bead ing is whipped. This is finished with a narrow val edging The same edg- ing IS sewed to the edges of the sleeves, which are slashed at the top to the depth of six inches At the head of the slash there is group of six tiny tucks and just below them a pretty ribbon bow is tackled.
 Feather-stitching done with mercer ized cotton floss extends across the front of the gown row of French knots on each small flower form. done in outline stitch. adds final needlework touch Sometimes an initial or monogram is outlined in small letters at the center of the front.
 When narrow lingerie ribbon is run in the beading and tied in a bow at the front the gown is ready for use. Those who make hand-crocheted iaces or tatting can further add to the ele- gance and good wearing qualities of their lingerie by substituting their handiwork for the machine-made faces commonly used.

 Speaking of the keen qualities of Bush and Maranville as shortstops, there is something also to be said in behalf of MT. Weaver, of the White Sox. s3 This earnest athlete isn't as steady as either of. the first two named. But for brilliant achievement he certainly belongs. Nile can go in all seven di- sections to grab the ball, Tn which re- spect he is not excelled. Undoubted- ly he belongs somewhere among the games elite.
 Something to Shoot At
 While in the act Of shortstopping Messrs. Bush, Maranvil1e and Weaver all have a target to shoot at-a target set up by a fellow slortstopper toiling with the Red Sox.
 While these lines were being pushed to press Mr. Scott, of the R. s., had accumulated 148 chances without a miscue We haven't the ngures be- fore us to prove our ease, but we hereby pronounce this a worlds record for all time and all leagues in so far as shortstopping is concerned.
