NEW YORK, November 81, 1915.
EIHE really startling fashion
Pssss as eo the IS ss s.0.sss sse. %srns
q sleeve in the afternoon gown.
Callot is its sponsor, and one would
not be surprised if the innovation
succeeds. For while it will be taken
up only by a few extremists: it will
appear on the stage shortly, to which
we begin to look for the last idea in
costumery or the exploitation of
something that has been created. but
which the average woman is timid
about wearing.
There is no valid reason to put
against the suggestion that this fash
ion may succeed Stranger things have
become popular and been taken up by
the multitude as well as by those who
delight in the freakish and uncon
ventional; in anything, in fact, that is
different from what the masses wear
and which will cause comment. After
all, they constitute the clientele that
the daring designers desire.
If a woman removes her jacket at
an afternoon party OF any sort, or IN
public restaurant. displaying arms
that are bare about to the shoulder.
she is entitled to, and will certainly
get, the stares of the onlookers. Even
the mannequin who displays this new
Idea to those who are trying on clothes
creates a profound sensation.
If the world, which always criticises
new fashions that compel attention,
will reserve it's disapproval until
1t harkens back in memory to the dress
Of our Immediate ancestors, who wore
short daytime sleeves with small bon
nets and extended skirts, both of
which fashions are here today, then

there will be no reason for caviling
on the score of modern immodesty
On every side one sees a tendency
toward this puffed sleeve that extends
a few inches on the arm. Callot is
responsible only for the fashion as it
applies 10 the street frock, made OF

What are you doing here?" said
Jack Rabbit as soon as he recovered

my nest, and then this morning. right

JACK RABBIT GETS WELL.

Jack Rabbit continued to improve
after Mister Fox came to visit him in
his burrow, but he was still rather
weak on the morning when he started
for the first time since his illness to
visit the fox in his home on the hill.
AS he started out he thought again
of the last lesson that the fox had
taught him, and said to himself:
This walk is not going to be half SO
hard as it seems, il only keep up my
courage"
Jack Rabbit had thought many
times of the lesson that had been SO

walked through the spiders web. after
the beetle and the humble bee had
failed.
Mister Fox was watching for the
rabbit, and while he was still long
way on saw him coming and ran down
to meet him.
We'll, WELL" said the fox, Il am
certainly glad to see you and looking
so well, too. One would scarcely
think that you had been i'll at all.

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highways o. Roller on pIowed
Fieid-Wagon Pulls Easier.

The following appeared in . recent
issue OF Extension News Service .
published by the University of Ne
braska.
Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor, according to the depart
ment OF agricultural engineering at
the university farm. They have the
same effect upon q country road as q
roller on plowed field. On the other
hand. the narrow tire cuts up road
like . disk. It has been found by
actual test in this department that
the wide-tired wagon pulls easier in
nearly all cases than the narrow-tired
wagon. In deep mud on . country
road the wide-tired wagon pulls 81 per
cent easier. On the country road
with q thin surface Of mud or deep
dust, however, the narrow tires pull
49, per cent easier In . cornfield
the wide tires pull 3O.5 per cent easier.
in a dry alfalfa field 1T per cent
easier. and on a dry country road 10.2
per cent easier.

PR0PELLERS FOR HAND SLED


Desiring to propel my hand sled
with power transmitted by cranks and
wheels, set about to procure the nee
essary materials. Two medium-sized
buggy wheels were found in the back
yard of a blacksmith shop. which were
procured for a nominal price. The
fellies Of these wheels were removed,
the lemons cut from the spokes and
nails substituted, which were driven
in their ends so that about one-half
inch Of the body with the head project
ed, writes Justin Stewart in Popular
Mechanics. The heads were then re-
moved and the nail ends sharpened
The hubs were plugged with pieces
of wood, whitfield to tightly fit the
holes A hole was then bored exactly
central through each plug for a one
half inch rod. This size rod was pro-
cured and bent to form crank, the
bearing end being threaded for dis
lance equal to the length of the hub.
Two pieces or blocks Of wood two
inches square and four inches long
were used as bearings. These were
bored centrally through the long way.
to receive the one-half inch rod just
loose enough to make a good bearing.
These bearings were supported by a
pair OF braces made of strap iron about
one-Quarter OF an inch thick and three
quarters Of an inch wide. The length
OF tho iron will depend on the size Of
the wheels and the height of the sled
runner. The braces were shaped A.

must be as high from the surface Of
