there is no reason to suppose that the

will be done in a graceful manner.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-23

Already women and experts of clothes
are saying unpleasant things about the
gowns that call for voluminous hip
drapery. 1t is all very we'll for the
evening. but for afternoon and street
gowns 1t is a nuisance. so they say.
1t seems difficult to get away from
some kind of hip distension. as the
simple skirt that Ats over the hips
looks a trif1e old fashioned

gree of certainty the chances OF sue

There is a huge class of women VINO
are never interested in clothes except
as they fill their need: they are not IN
tereeted in panniers because Planners
do NOT suit them, nor in this or that
or the other thing because it Is not
possible for them to wear it. Ihes
only see in each passing panorama OF
h~iI,iart clothes a reflection here ana
there of their own desire for possession
ard entirely disregard the Importance
of the thing whole. therefore, II
is probable that the onlooker mas o,
far the better time. She may put
aside her personal predictions ana
see the thing as whole. And Tor one
month the panorama of 1asnlon mas
,lnroIled before US like moving pic
ture film.
The sharpest contrast and most in
terestine one that the onlooker sees
in this nasons costumery Is between
the evening gowns and me spor
clothes France has glorified both, put
America. while accepting the spiendor
of the evening clothes. has embarked
on line of outdoor clothes that sne'
is peculiarly able to make. and sne
keeps them quite simple.
The place to see what France thinks
of simple SPORT clothes is in the spe-
cialtv shoas on 5th avenue. where one
is asked SIS for an ordinary sweater
as if this were to be expected. There
are sweaters that run up to $500 ana
others to $50 and when the excuses
for such prices are not oased upon
Paris thev are based on the amount OF
needlework required.
These arguments and these prices
produce the greatest irritation against
the new clothes, with the exception OF
the feeling produced by the futurlst
lingerie The word "disGusting is the
only one to ,Ise in describing the latter
phase of fashion.
In regard to the absurd prices asked
for the new sweatcr one comes up
against a condition that is not strictly
American. nor sensible. nor quite in
good taste We are exploiting. for fan
tastic reasons, the elaborated sport
clothes of country whose only sport
today is to kill and be killed. and which
has originated fashions and prices in
open-sir clothes for theoretical So
.ial condition in American life-a con-
dition that existed at the French water
ing places and which should not be
ENCOURAGED in American life. The
women in Palm Beach have encouraged
this attitude toward sports by dressing
in very expensive sport clothes instead
of in the ordinary costumery. and II
may he that this wave of fashion will
spread to Bar Harbor. Newport and
white SULPHUR as the season advances,
hut il is such silly fashion for the
American woman who really goes in
for sports that one cannot prevent a
word being said against 1t.

America Refuses to Accept Sport Styles From Pal


NEW 1ORh, April -.
FNlHE onlooker in clothes, the "onh'

position of one who looks on
at an exciting game of poker without
taking part: none of the emotions are
involved and the finances are left I'M
touched at the end of the game.
This may seem an impossible position
to the average woman. and it can never
hammer if one sees only a segment or
the fashions that are produced in ones
own town and only looks at clothes
from a personal standpoint. But when
one is supposed to look at all the FASH
ionable clothes that are produceo
month after month and regard them
from an impersonal point of view, they
present quite a different appearance
One is able to get better perspective

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highways as Roller on Piowed

The following appeared in a 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 a country road as a
roller on a plowed field. On the other
hand. the narrow tire cuts up a road
like a disk 1t 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 a country
road the wide-tired wagon pulls 81 per
cent easier. On the country road
with a thin surface of mud or deep
dust, however, the narrow tires pull
10 per cent easier. In a cornfield
the wide tires pull 30.5 per cent easier.
in a dry alfalfa field III per cent
easier. and on a dry country road 10.2
per cent easier.

TAKE CARE OF EWES
DURING THE WINTER
Important Duty to Perform to In
sure Lamb Crop to Be Har-
vested in Spring.

The winter care of the flock is i'm
portant to insure a lamb crop to be
harvested in the spring. Ewes in good
condition need not be fed grain until
about a month before lambsng, when
they should gradually be accustomed
to it. Ewes in thin or poor condition
should receive from one-fourth to one
half pound of grain daily. Corn alone
is not the best grain ration. A ration
OF six parts corn, three parts wheat
bran, one part linseed oil cake, by
weight, has proved very satisfactory.
A ration OF corn. oats and bran, equal
parts by weight, can also be recon-
mended.
The sheep should receive as much
clover or alfalfa hay as they will eat.
The amount of hay eaten can be cut
down by use of corn silage or corn
slower. Two pounds of clean. sweet
corn silage. can be used TO replace
about one pound Of hay.
Well cured corn slower is also rel
ished by the ewes. Ordinarily, there
is little danger of the sheep eating too
much Of 1t, If hay is fed once day.
The greatest danger of corn stover
comes from making II the exclusive
feed. Clean salt and water should be
kept before the flock. Sheep should al
ways have a dry. well-bedded floor tc
lie on.

excellent AS FEED
FOR GROWING PIGS
Experiments Show Skim Milk to
Be Valuable Hog Feed-BuiIds
Bone and Muscle.

Skim milk is most valuable hog
feed. Experiment shows that it com
pares with grain for a feed at the
rate Of six pounds Of skim milk equal
to one pound Of grain. Its chief use
should be as supplemental! feed for
the growing pigs. 1t is wonderful
muscle and bone builder. To be sure.
il can be fed to fsttening hogs sue
cessfully. Whether It be fed or not
should be governed By the price OF
grain and the price and availability OF
skim milk.
When it may be fed economically
can be determined from the compare
tive value: one of grain equals six OF
skim milk. When skim milk Is fed to
fattening hogs. it should be fed only
as a part Of the ration. Three pounds
Of skim milk to one OF grain is the
proportion usually recommended. In
other words, balance up the ration.
When the amount Of skim milk 10 be
had is limited, best results will follow
giving ii to the growing pigs, and
supplement the fattening hogs ration
with tankage in limited amounts.-Or-
ange Judd Farmer.

The bulk of the feed used for win
tering stock should be made up of
roughages from the farm. Small
amounts OF concentrates, fed daily
with these feeds, make comparatively
cheap rations entirely suitable to GER
tain classes Of live stock.
For convenience in planning winter
feeding farm animals may be divided
into three classes:
l. Mature animals not producing an
income during winter months.
II. Animals producing an income
during the winter.
III. Young and growing stock TO be
retained on the farm the following
summer
II Class may be included ali ma
ture live stock held on the farm. either
for breeding purposes. future work
or finishing for market the following
summer.
In Glass II may be included work
horses, cows producing milk and stock
being fattened for market or condi-
toned for sale during the winter
months.
In Glass III may be included all
young and growing stock on the farm.
The big saving in the winter feed
bill can be made with Glass !. This
does not mean that animals of this
class should be permitted to come
through the winter in rundown and
weakened condition. Rather than con-
slider such a practice il would be far
better TO sell the stock in the fall II
Is meant, however, that they can and
should be maintained on the cheaper

have been or where existing balances
are TO be expended.
3. Lack of any systematic prac-
tice in handling road funds among
most counties makes it very diff cult
to carry out over even single year
any persistent maintenance policy, be-
cause funds officially obligated for
maintenance purposes are not pro
tected against sporadic and irregular
drafts for miscellaneous purposes.
The greatest likelihood consequently
exists everywhere that there will be
no balance in the maintenance fund in
the last half or third OF the year, al
though only a part of the fund al
lotted may have been spent.

tenance work is made dissatisfied by

in construction and the effect OF this
in increasing the cost or in making

pensive is everywhere seen.
