tive. The grader should have thrown
out beforehand all undesirable fruit
and also should have graded the canta-
loupes according to their ripeness.
The latter is an important point, for
experience has shown that cantaloupes
produced in the West are often mar
keted in a green condition in nearby
cities, while other shipments reach
the large Eastern markets in an over
ripe condition. Fruit designed for
long journeys should be packed when
less mature than that intended for
marketing near at hand.
The packing Of cantaloupes would
be simplified and the packages made
more attractive by the use of a much
smaller variety of containers. The full
sized standard crate and standard fiat

market and should be used whenever
practicable. The standard cantaloupe

WELL KNOW POWER OF DRESS
Women Need No Instructions From
Men as to How They Shall
Attire Themselves.

Women dress the way they want to
dress. They need no instructions as
to modesty or propriety. From a very.
early age they understand perfectly
their powers both Of allurement and Of
defense.
Women who expose their bodies
know that they are doing it, and they
know exactly why they are doing It.
So do men.
Modesty comes from within. I'm
modesty comes from thence, likewise.
Thorough modesty in women's dress
is wholly consistent with the utmost
Of feminine beauty and attractiveness.
The sex appeal is quite another mat
ter.
For uncounted generations women
have been the chattels of men. We
know what that means. The day of
finer, truer companionship between
men and women is but just dawning.
The movement has not progressed
very far, but 1t is going ahead every
day. The distance to be traversed,
however, is still great. Meanwhile,
the instinct to appeal to the purely
physical in man will persist, and wom-
en- who know no better will dress
themselves accordingly.-New York

FIGHT MOTHS WITH
AID OF PARASITES
Marked Progress Is Being Made
in Reducing Pests in Many
of Eastern States.

Over 100000 specimens of two
parasites which prey on the gypsy
moth and brown-tail moth were re-
leased in POI towns in Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island during the fall of 1914 and
spring of 1915, according to the an
nual report of the bureau Of Entomol-
ogy, United States department of ag-
riculture.
AS a result of the successful estab-
lishment Of colonies of these and
other parasites which feed on the
gypsy and brown-tail moths, marked,
progress is being made in reducing
these pests Efficient cooperation is
being afforded by the states, which
carry on as much WORK as possible
within the infested areas, thus al
lowing the federal authorities to carry
on field work along the outer border
Of infestation, so as to retard the

Wind Watches by Motor.

While the winding of ones watch
would seem to call for only a small
amount of energy, it assumes a signif-
cant aspect when multiplied several
hundred times, as in the instance of ..
watch-repairing concern in New York
city, part of whose work it is to vino
700 or more watches each day. To IA
cilitate the work the firm uses an cleo.
trio motor, which drives a small. felt.
lined socket through friction drive. It
is only necessary to start the motor
and hold the stem of the watch against
the felt-lined socket to wind the time
piece. When the watch is wound the
tightened spring overcomes the pres
sure between the motor pulley and the
fraction disk, with the result that slip
page takes place. Simple as this cleo.
trio matchmaking equipment is, 1t has
replaced several men formerly re-
Quired for the work.
