IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED UP
There Will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been watch.
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number of years,
says
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels of wheat, the pro.
duction of the countries at war. tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries pom which the filling
of this deficit of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249,000, 900, their exportable surplus
would Of course be much less, so it
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and it
%behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much as they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to r~e-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration Of peace the farmers
Of all neutral wheat-prcducing ccun-
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
productions; she is under the protec-
tion Of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any, great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the s%umming-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do
well. The climate is admirably suited.

EASILY MADE COAT HANGER
Has Many Advantages Over Article
That May Be Purchased
IT,. Ready for Use.

We give a sketch here of a coat
hanger. that can be easily made in
spare moments from materials we
are sure to find ready to hand at
home.
1t is made from a short piece of
bamboo; in the first place a small
hole must be made through the cen
ter of the cane with a red-hot skewer.
Through this hole a piece of stout
wire is passed which is bent into a
hook above the cane and a little loop
underneath it. This is clearly illus
trated in the diagram on the right

To the loop of wire underneath the

Certainly Not Scotch.

Guests of the late Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman were discussing the
nationality OF J.. H. Taylor, the former
golf champion, writes a contributor to
Fry's Magazine. and n of the party
asserted that the player was a Scot.
Sir Henry was inclined to agree with
him.
WELL" said one OF the visitors, "a1l
l know about Taylor is that he's a very
nice man. My club engaged him to
play an exhibition match at a fixed fee,
but it was so wet that play was impos-
sible. When he was offered the fee
he firmly refused to take it, and would
receive only his bare travelling ex-
penses."
Campbell-BanEerman turned to the
other man who had been SO sure of
Taylor's Caledonian birth and said,
I'm afraid that fact is fatal to our
contention"

RETURN TO CIRCULAR CAPE
Fashion Of Some Years Ago, That
Has Much to Recommend It.
Has Been Revived.

When you used to look at YOUR
mothers circular cape stored away
in the big trunk did you ever dream
that some day you would be wearing
one very similar to it? The circular
cape is here in all it's glory, and after
YOU recover from the shock you re-
ceive when you f-st see it you will
throw it over your shoulders and feel
that you are smartly attired.
Black taffeta is the material used
for one of the capes. 1t has a collar
Of marabou. and around the bottom
of the cape eight rows Of the nara
bou are sewcI YER closely together.
Braid frogs, two in number, are pro-
yided to fasten the cape down the
front.
The circular capes are also made
I'D of velvet, fur and broadcloth, and
in some instances a cape and a
o~ne-piece frock are made of the same
material.

Frank Opinion of King.

Victor Emmanuel, king of Italy, is
a keen fisherman and spends hour
after hour with his rod, though the
best of luck Toes not always attend
his piscatorial expeditions. Once,
after several hours angling had
brought him only three poor fish and
he was returning to the castle, he was
met by a peasant with a magnificent
catch of trout. You seem to be no
great fisherman, to judge by your
CATCH" commented the peasant. 81
should say you were about as lucky
as the king" "Why? inquired his
majesty. Oh" replied the peasant,
'he thinks a great deal of himself as
a sportsman, but he is a poor body,
much more fit to be a king than a
fisherman"

DICTATES OF FASHION

Dark green is firmly settled arnong
the staple colors.
Many hat crowns are made of nets
and metallic cloths.
The long coats with shoulder ..apes
recall the French soldiers o~vercoat OF
1870.
The smock frock is new. It is an
adaptation of the loose hanging smocks
worn by the peasants of Normandy
and Tonraine.
Vests are worn with the smarter
styles of coats, and they generally
fasten up to the neck, with the lower
fastenings undone.
Millinery importers now in Paris
have cabied that the new spring mod
els are more beautiful than ever.
Many of the leading houses are open.
ing. Cheruit is showing exquisite
new dresses.
Waist materials exploit very largely
this spring the lustrous yet absolutely
tubbable silks. Among these there's
a soft satin which the practical WON
an will like to remember.

Electric Lamp Shade Made From
Child's ParasoI.

cure at the top temporarily. Draw the
material down each rib and turn up
the surplice to form a hem. Stitch the
hem and insert a narrow elastic. The
cover is now complete, ready for the
frame.
Sew it at the top, and finish with a
covered button mold, a pompon or
any small ornament at hand. With
very strong thread secure the cover to
the ribs and then with the fingers draw
the fullness away from the ribs to the
center. There will be little or much
%fullness, according to the bell effect
given. This shade is yer pretty as
it is, but the majority of the new
shades are decorated-that is, one may
show a very simple arrangement, as a
band of small. round flet lace dolly.
Another will be trimmed with a frill
of the silk pinked on the edges under
lying another frill Of blond lace, while
the cover itself will be decorated with
festoons of lace, chiffon. flowers or
what not.
The handsome shades are trimmed
with gold or dull silver laces in frills
depending from bands of tiny ribbon
or chiffon flowers. Anyway, there will
probably be plenty of odd bits in the
millinery box that will answer for
trimming once the shade is made. A
branch of apples fashioned from a
dried piece of brown twig as a founda-
ton is a possibility, the apples made
from bits of yellow or red satin and
the leaves from green. Cotton will be
used for stufflng the apples, wrapping
around short lengths of twig for stem
and flower end. A few stitches In
black silk at the flower end will help
TO Civ a natural effect.

Russian Boots.

Russian influence has been marked
in clothes for several months and
some women have actually worn
Russian boots. Now they can be had
in some of the shops. One pair
shown recently in the window OF a
smart shoe shop is made of soft green
suede and patent leather. The heels
are high and Of French shape, and
they and the vamp of the shoe are
made of patent leather. The leg part
is made Of the suede, and the vamp
reaches up on the leg section in in.

cretonne, and the latter plan will per-
haps be found best. The material can
be stretched evenly cross the sides
and fastened on at the top and under
meath with tacks.
A little curtain of soft silk can be
arranged in front of each compart-
ment, and these curtains can be fas-
tened in place just above each divi-
sion with ornamental braid and brass
headed nails. The interior Of each
box should be lined with brown paper
cut to fit and fastened in position with
paste.

little floral design can be embroid-

One advantage of a homemade coat
hanger Of this nature is that it can
be cut to fit exactly the garment it
is intended for, and will not stretch
it too much or let it hang too loosely,

coat hanger purchased in a shop.
