The other coat is of black velvet with
trimmings Of cream satin and white pearl
buttons. The waistcoat is of cream satin
to match the reveres. A narrow cuff Of
white satin shows below a deep slash in
the sleeves through which a glimpse of
Whne satin is seen. The pockets may be
bound in cream satin or finished with vel
vet. A bounb uttonhole in the revere is
an attractive touch. This coat may be
made over from a velvet dress or suit
which is too narrow or worn in the skirt
Velvet dresses and suits always show
wear first in the sleeves Of the back of
this skirt. In this case, the original
velvet coat is cut off at the waist line
and the new tail Of the coat was made
from the old skirt. 1t is gathered with
heading about two inches deep and may
be straight around or gored at the sides
to give more flare.
The waistcoat is made double, of cream
satin and Is really nothing more than a
pointed girdle reaching only across the
front. Buttons OF pearl finish the front
Such coat, If made from black. navy
blue or brown velvet, If worn with a new
cloth skirt or the same color, will give
the effect of an entirely new suit.
II worn with waist OF cream lace or
net, this will be good costume for church

have sketched here sports blouse
to 'e ~'orn with odd skirts 1t may be
made from a remnant of new material
or made over from a dress. This blouse
is navy green poplin striped in dull
olive green. 1t looks equally well with
a skirt Of blue or green. The adjust
able basque and collar are made in one
OF white butchers linen to match the
turn-back cuffs The belt is black pat
ent leather. Both vest and the skirt OF
the blouse are fastened with dull silver
buttons. Cum links are made by sew
ing two Of these buttons loosely together
with strong thread or tying them to-
gether with narrow tape In making
over a dress into such a blouse, the back,
front and sleeves, II requiring recutting
could be cut from the planest shirtwaist
pattern. The deep C-front could easily
be cut without a pattern.
The vest may be held In place with in
visible fastenings or by buttons and but
tonholes, the bUetonholes being worked
in the vest and the buttons sewed on
the wrong side of each blouse front. The
tail of the blouse, II made from an old
skirt, should be gathered straight around
the waist and should reach to finger tip"
length. Many of the new fall coats will
be made to reach only to the finger tips
as this proportion seems best adapted
to the short skirt. Skirts are growing a
little longer and a little narrower, al
though the change is gradual.

ADVICE ABOUT wooDpnEs.
There's Happy Medium 'Twixt
Big and Little Sticks.


There is happy medium between bis
sticks and little ones when it comes to
the. matter of splitting. II the sticks are
too light, they will burn up fast. But
II they are too large, they will not catch
fire readily.
Before you cut any blocks, measure
the firebox of your stove, Is very good
advice given by <. L. Vincent in Farm
and Home. Wood either too long or too
short is a very great source of trouble
to the housewife. Have ii just right.
In piling the wood in the house. lay
down some pieces OF old boards length
wise of the pile. Old rails or even poles
cut from the woods are all right. Any
thing to keep the tiers off the earth.
When wood piled out Of doors is to
stand for some time, do not cord the
piles UP abreast of each other to any
marked extent. Three ranks will keep
the air is not apt to circulate through
1t freely an 1t may mold, especially II
II be green when cut.
Split the blocks about as fast as they
are sawed. II they are permitted to lie
out In the hot sun long time, they
will harden and split very hard.
Try to have your wood free from ex-
cessive moisture when II is piled in the
woodhouse. Then 1t will cure out better.
Leave the door OF the woodhouse open
for some time after II is filled. The wood
cures better and lasts longer.
Set the axes and the beetle and wedge
in every day after the work is done. Hans
the saw inside, too.

Less Demand for Furs.

The great European war Is likely to
have one little anticipated effect on the
range stock business, and 50 on the price
of range meats in this peaceful country
of ours. 1t has so destroyed the market
for furs-Europe has been the great fur
market of the world, but now they are
buying only guns and submarines and
stink-pots and other shocking war ma
chinery instead of beautiful furs-that
there is practically no sale for the fine
furs of America. 1t has driven many of
the wolfers and other hunters into other
vocations; and the livestock loss this
year, as the new, undisturbed broods of
hungry "vArmints" begin to take their
toll from the focks and barnyards, will
probably be the heaviest for many years.
Already alarming reports are coming in
from many places, telling of the new
crop of big, dangerous. stock-killing gray
wolves-largely because there are fewer
hunters who find 1t worth while to hunt
them.-outing.

SEAWEED OF PACIFIC
FURNISHES POTASH
Famine Caused by War Develops
Many Sources of Fertilizer
Formerly Neglected,

Most of the potash used in this coun-
try before the war came from Germany.
from the unique Stassfurt deposits. There
are no deposits of similar magnitude
known elsewhere, though potash in some
form is available from many sources
from which, however, It would have to
be extracted.
The situation created by the war has
caused great interest to be taken In any
such possible sources. From a mineral
known as alunite, and found in Utah, pot
ash Is at present being produced on a
commercial scale, Others have tried to
extract potash from feldspar, while on
the Pacific Coast a seaweed known as
kelp has attracted particular attention.
This Is found in considerable abundance
In Puget Sound and off the California
coast.
In an article in MetallurgicaI and
Chemical Engineering of March Is an
interesting account Is given of the
method used by one company in har-
vesang this kelp In Puget Sound and
preparing 1t for use as fertilizer.
The method used in harvesting the
kelp is to place on a big scow a con-
Veyor which extends down under the
water. and at the end OF the conveyor
knives are placed which move back and
forth. such as in a moving machine. As
the scow moves along, the knives, driven
by machinery. cut the kelp and It falls
on the moving conveyor and is conveyed
up onto the scow. When the scow is full
1t is taken ashore.
The green kelp plant is mostly water,
and as it is too expensive to ship all this
water the kelp Is cut up and dried and is
then ready for use, II there is a local
market. II II has to be shipped far the
potash contained in the dried kelp is dis
solved in water, separated from the in
soluble portion, evaporated. and potash
crystals are obtained. By-products from
the industry are iodine and a glue-like
substance called algin. The iodine can
be used, and uses may be found for the
alRtn by carrying out experiments.

The four years between thirteen and
seventeen usually described as the
"gawky" age are frequently beset with
sartorial difficulties for the mother who
must choose clothes for these subdebu-
tantes. Even II she has access to a shop
which specializes in misses clothes, many
OF the models shown are so elaborate
that they cannot be considered by people
who dress their daughters in good taste
and try to keep them looking simple and
girlish. The girl OF this age does well
when she adheres to sports clothes for
school and play, with perhaps a slightly
dressy coat or gown for more formal
occasions.

GREECE PROTESTS TO
STATE DEPARTMENT
Tells of Terrible Indignities Heapcti
Upon Hellenic Government BY
Entente Allies.
NOT PERMITTED TO IMPORT
NECESSARY FOOD
Final Blow Came When Nations Sense
of Hospitality Was Outraged BY
Demand That 1t Should Give Up
Arms TO Invaders.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 2.--Greece's
protest to the United States against
the gross violation against her SOW
ereignty by Great Britain and France
and containing an appeal to this coun-
try was delivered to the State Depart
ment today. Greece hopes for SEN
timental protest to the allies by the
United States in her behalf and In the
interest of international right and Jus
tice. The note. although addressed to
the American Legation at Athens by
the Greek foreign minister. has not
arrived at the State Department
through American diplomatic channel.
1t was presented to Counsellor Frank
l. Polk this afternoon by A. Voures.
Greek charge d'affaires in Washin ct d.
The text follows:
From the beginning Of the Euro
pean war the Hellenic government
recognizing its duties in regard to the
defense of the national interests and
its responsibility towards the country,
had after an extended examination OF
the situation, decided that Greece
ought not to take part in the sanYuin-
airy struggle In which nearly all Of
Europe had become involved.
Watching Opportunities.
THE Hellenic government while
maintaining its neutrality had con-
stantly in view the possible abandon
ment OF this policy, IL at a given mo-
ment 1t should be convinced that,
however great might be the sacrifices
and dangers of a war. II would serve
the national aspirations.
Unfortunately 1t has not been pos
sible for US up to the present to obtain
the necessary guarantees that Greece
by engaging in the European conflict
should not be doomed to inevitable de-
structfon.
I'm remaining neutral. the Hellenic
government had in view only Hellenic
interests and has not been, as a con-
sistent effort has been made to maks
It appear. in sympathy with ore OF
the two groups.
In the geographical situation OF
Greece. which places it in the most
direct contact with one OF the two
groups OF belligerent powers. renders
very difiicult strict application Of Its
policy. It u for this reason that the
government has been forced to sub
init to the occupation Of foreign arms
Of its Macedonian provinces and TO
permit belligerents to take possession
