Many Uses for the Empty Hands,
May Be Found if Women Will
Look for Them.

What shall a woman do with her
hands, now that she has no further
use for a mutt? Shall she carry a
handbag. or shall she run the risk of
feeling awkward and nervous through
not knowing just what to do with
them? Many women who are not ordi-
narily affected by tribes are some
times irritated by this little problem.
One young oma solves it by be-
coming a student. She is cen for the
first few weeks of mild weather carry
ing a book, magazine or newspaper,
which is not heavy, but finds a use for
the empty hands. At first a book is
used. Then she changes to a lighter
book, then to a magazine, and lastly to
the newspaper. In the meantime she
has been learning to carry a handbag
in the hand. and not slipped over the
arm. as is generally done by those
who have carried a muff.
Another woman carries a bag con-
tanning embroidery. while a third is
never seen without an embroidery bag
or basket. These articles are not
heavy, nor cumbersome, but are useful
for the purpose t which they are put.
1t is always at this time that women
feel shabby. even though they may
have on practically new clothes, and
all long for the seasons change of
dress. The bright new bags, or books,
serve to modify this dissatisfaction,
and women who carry such things go

In order to show producers and
dealers that better wool means more
money, a wool demonstration car has
been touring Montana. Idaho, Wyo-
ming and Utah for the past several
months. In the course OF that time it
has given demonstrations in more
than fifty towns and at least 5000
persons directly interested in wool
growing have had an opportunity to
study the exhibits. These consist
chiefly OF feeces representing the va
rious grades Of wool. but, in addition,
six head of live sheep are carried
along as an object lesson in the value
OF the different breeds.
The purpose OF the tour, in which
the United States department of agri-
culture is cooperating with the agri-
cultural colleges OF the four states, is

silk and metal thread with which the
embroidering is done. and 81 for sew
ing silk, lining, hooks and eyes, and

ally selected for a dress OF this type,
because It gives the support necessary
and yet avoids any suggestion Of stiff-
ness. which feature Is definitely OPP
posed to the seasons preferred styles,
even the tight little basque bodices

the pointed girdle. The simulated
front girdle is in one with the front
sections of the bodice, and is finished
with a touch OF s%ilverthread en-
broidery and an appliqued block Of
the navy satin.
The fancy for metal embroideries
came into being more than a year
ago, and it has strengthened as the
months have passed. The decoration
is now a fayorite one on many of the
high-grade tailored suits of silk.
Costumers account for the fancy for
embroideries as trimmings by the fact
that the war has discouraged the de-
velopment of novelty fabrics and
trimmings. so that to Offset the condi-
tion and do away with the possibility
of a dearth of decoration hand en-
broidery was given a place at the
head OF the procession.
II a woman is handy with her
needle the fancy for h~and-embroid-
cred frocks need moi appall her, but
il she must depend upon someone else
to apply the stitches she must ex-
pect to pay well for them. Manufac-
turers say that because of the demand
for hand embroidery as a trimming
ready-to-wear garments have gone up
in price, as this class of work must
necessarily be slow and skilled needle
women command high wages.
Hand embroidery and fabric com.
binations play a very important part
in making this seasons costume a
smart one.

flare effect with fiat front and back

fleeces and do not understand the re-
lation between the market prices for
various grades OF wool and their own
profits. The idea is not uncommon
that wool is wool and that the heav-
Ter the clip is, the bigger the profit
will be.
1t is this idea that the specialists
in charge of the car are anxious to
dispel. The experience OF Australian
sheep growers has shown that it is
distinctly advantageous for the pro
Queer to improve his flock, grade his
clip in the shearing shed. handle it
carefully and sell it o for a lump
sum, but each grade by itself. Under
existing conditions in this country it
is not probable that the individual
grower would profit Immediately by
adopting this system, for organized eff
fort will be necessary to effect so
radical a change in the prevailing
practice. Before any such effort can
be made. however, it is essential that
growers should have a more complete
knowledge OF wool grades and of the
ways in which the requirements of
manufacturers can be met most profit
ably. 1t is to spread this knowledge,
which at the present time is far more
common among buyers than produc-
ers, that the demonstration car has
been sent on its tour.

Denver.-Objections to the issu-
ance of an order by the State Utili-
ties Commission providing for the
construction of uniform standard
grade crossings at all public high
ways in the state and preparation of
sketches of the crossings for filing
were made by the engineers repre-
senting the railroads affected by the
proposed order at the conference of
the engineers with d. s. Hooker, en-
gineer OF the commission. The engi-
neer declared that the expense of
such work would be too great for the
railroads.
The commission, however, is pre-
pairing to issue an order for uniform
grade crossings. The total cost, it is
estimated by Engineer Hooker, will be
less than $1,250,000. The commission
intends that this expense be spread
over a number of years.
In an estimate of the cost of the
preparation of sketches of the cross
ings the railroad engineers gave the
cost at $12 per crossing, while Mr..
Hooker showed that the maximum
cost would be 50 per crossing.
The commission will consider and
pass upon specific complaints made
by stockmen for the fencing of par
ticular parts of rights of way of rail-
roads as a means of protection of cat
tie and of the lives of passengers of
trains, but will not issue a blanket
order compelling all the railroads to
fence all their rights of way. This
was the substance of a decision an
nounced by the utilities body in the
case brought by the livestock asso-
