CHILD'S PRETTY FROCK
GARMENT THAT is ATTRAC TIVE
AND DURABLE.
Fashioned on the suspender Order
Which Is Universally Popular With
Mothers, and Suitable For
Many Fabrics.

There is something so girlish and at
tractive in the pretty frock for a child
from six to fourteen years of age that
every mother will find an instant ap-
peal in it. For one thing, the panel
front and killed skirt is always becOm-
ing, and the suspender attachment
with it's broad belt, enables the frock
TO be thrown on in hurry over a
fresh blouse so that dressing is quick
ly accomplished. The blouse may, if
preferred, be made of the dress ma
terial, but it is very much prettier ii
constructed Of white or of some bright
plaid material. There are many fancy
fabrics in the market whose bright
color combinations add to the appear
ance Of child's frock. These, with
dark blues, brown and green's, form
good school assortment Of wearable
and durable cOlOrs.
To women who are inexperienced in
making plaits the writer suggests
that a good way is to fold the plat
in the designated manner and baste il
in place near the edge, using very long
and somewhat loose basting threads
When all the plaits are laid in this
manner and ironed on the wrong side
over a slightly dampened thin piece o.
muslin (such as an old thin Sheet, il
will be found that the skirt will always
set well and the plaits never lose their
shape If the basting threads are tight
the ironing is almost sure to cause un
even edges along the plaits.
This pattern is serviceable for all
classes of wooden goods, except the
heaviest, and for stiff linens, crashes

HORSE NOT YET OBSOLETE

ed, Long After Some Prophets
Have Been Forgotten.

Some prophets and sons of prophets
who predict that horses on the farms
will soon be only a memory viii have
passed away, and pleasing epitaphs
will be carved into the stones which
mark their resting place, long before
their prophecies become fact. The in
PRODUCTION of the farm tractor will NOT.
as some believe, remove the horses
from the fields and from their pas
lures, Farm Machinery asserts. The
advent of the street cars did not have
that effect upon horses, neither did the
bicycle nor automobile. Today there
are more horses in this country than
there were ten years ago, and prices
are considerably higher. The one
thing that the farm tractor viii do is
to supply the need of power on the
farms which horses cannot give Take
away the farm tractors which are in
use today and Several hundred thou
sand horses would be required to re-
place them, or if horses could not be
had the lands would have to 20 un-
plowed and untitled The number of
tractors now in use will be multiplied
many times within the next ten years.
but there will be as many horses in
this country as there are today. and
prices will be even higher than now.
Farm tractors are becoming a neces-
slty, Just as electric street cars have
become-the same as telephones have
supplanted the telegraph in a way and
have taken the place of MESSENGER
boys and quick delivery Of mail. No
one will agree that there are not more
miles OF telegraph wire in use today
than ten years ago, nor can it be said
that there are fewer messenger. bows.

holds, doing work for which there was
little demand a few years ago.
The farm tractors will simply fit in
to the greater needs Of the country
and will do the heavier chores ana
drudgery which horses are little 1t
for. They will not replace the horses.
but will simply assist them and make
life easier for them. They will also
enable farmers to breed better horses
because their mothers will be kept for
that purpose instead of spending half
or more of their time in doing heavy
work. Let us not dream too long upon
the practicability of the horseless
farm. 1t is long way off, as yet.

PATROL DRIVES SAILORS MAD

Reading.

The peril, hardship, cold and loneli,
ness that has driven mad some of the
tars who man the British blockade
neet outside the three-mile limit Off
our Atlantic coast, has been written
OF by an Englishman riding The Tides
OF Barnegat" aboard the Sydney, to an
old mate in this city. This is the
same Sydney that ran the notorious
German raider Emden ashore on an
Indian ocean island and shot her to
bits. The Sydney recently has been
transferred to the Atlantic blockade
fleet. The letter says in part:
Dear Jerry: 1t looks as though
we were to spend another Christmas

ribly cold out here and we have had
hard time of it. The other night we

"BowI Of Death~

The latest thriller for amusement
parks and similar institutions is a So
called bowl of death" which turns
from horizontal to a vertical posi-
ton and then back again as the rider
drives his motorcycle at high speed
around the rim. A picture of this de-
vice appears in the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The bowl is made uD
OF segments of perforated steel, is Is
feet in diameter and is hemisphericaI
in shape except for a fiat section at
the center and sharp inward curve
at the rim designed to furnish the
rider some degree Of protection against
the danger of running off the edge.
When the motorcyclist begins his ride
the bowl is horizontal, with the open
side up. AS soon as the machine at
talns sufficient speed to ride on the
vertical edge the bowl is slowly swung
to a position in which the open SIDE is
vertical

Cotton.

Cotton is usually differentiated in
ordinary classification by the length of
its staple Ordinary cotton" in the
United States is of several kinds, chief
among them the upland cotton, with
a staple of from seven-eighths to one
inch in length, and Gulf or Texas cot
ton, on which the staple is not usually
quite so long. The longest-stapled cot
tons among the ordinary cottons"
here are the bottom land or bender
cotton, with a staple of from one and
one-eighth to one and one-fourth inch.
and the special fancy staple cotton,
one and three-eighths to one and five
eighths inch in length. The sea island
cotton, which is grown on the sea
islands Off the coast of South Carolina,
has staple of from one and half to
two and half inches, the average
length being one and three-fourths.
The Egyptian cotton is being grown in
southern California, New Mexico and
Arizona; its staple is not so long as
the sea island cotton, but compares
rather with the upland cotton here,
