Delled frocks are eminently fashion, qbie just now. They are always be- coming to little girls and this one IS especially attractive. Here, it is made of rose colored linen scallopcd with white. The treatment is extremely smart and always dainty one, and hand work makes more distinctive finish than any applied trimming ever can do. The dress is 2 very smart one, yet an absolutely simple one. The bodice and skirt are cut in one and the belt is passed through open ings that are cut and finished for the purpose. The patch pockets make pretty and also useful feature. The pink linen is charming but the frock is good one for various materials. It can be made of gingham trimmed with banding or with stitched edges to be a simp.e morning frock. It can be made of pique or linen, cotton poplin
 or of cotton gabardine to have quite different character. The scallops make as good finish as could be sug- gested, but bands of the same or ot a different material could take their
 place. The model Is an all round
 useful one. If it is utilized for white
 linen or white gabardine either scal-
 loped with white or with color, 1t
 becomes handsome little dress

SAVING THE MANURE.

Farmers have been so accustomed
to throw the manure from the stable
in a pile In the barnyard and leave it
until 1t is convenient to haul to the
fields that they do not give the mat
ter Of loss by washing and teaching
any consideration. Usually but little
Of the value of the solids of the man
ure is lost in the stable, but great
losses occur after it is thrown in a
pile. The manure in the stable, satur-
ated by the urine, contains about so
per cent water. The moisture in the
manure helds In solution the greater
part of the plant foods which the man
ure contains. When the rains fall
upon the manure and the water from
the melted snow soaks into it, the
teaching process carries away much
of the soluble plant foods and it is
lost beyond recovery, for it is either
carried away in the water as 1t flows
in the surface to the streams, or
sinks into the ground where, for all
practical purposes, it is wasted.

Vetch gathers more nitrogen than

Vetch makes a much larger growth

K5ON. 0. 4. NEWTON Is NEW
CHAIRMAN OF BOARD

The Egg Laying competition, now

started four years ago at Storrs, Cen

Der was brought to Delaware. In re-
oOgnitiOn of the aid given the COM

man of the advisory board. In addi-
zion to being an extensive breeder Of

est in poultry culture inducing him
30 support the highly constructive
movement brought about through
these widely exploited annual inter

ried Delaware to the forefront as the
creator Of the greatest egg record ev-.

SHOE WEARERS
MUST PAY THE PRICE"
Hide Shortage, Population Increase, Army
Shoes and Autos Create Higher
Footwear Prices.

A side effect of the far-away war that
interests every man, woman and child
is the announcement of the fact that
shoes must this season advance in price.
The generally reported scarcity of
leather and increased cost of tanning
since the war. combined with an enor-
mOusly increased demand for leather,
all account far the advanced cost of
footwear
Millions Of pairs of shoes for the
European armies have been and still are
being made by American shoe manufac-
turers. On the average, these army
shoes consume one and one half as much
leather as the average American mans
shoe.
Knapsacks. saddles, harnesses and
other material for the armies at. war
and general increase in equipment of
the American army and state militia ac-
count for a still further demand on the
none too large supply of leather.
Munitions plants have called for thou
sands of feet of leather betting and the
general picking up Of busines- has
started thousands of factories wheess
and greatly augmented the call for belt
ing.
Autos have also made great and in
creasing inroads into the available
leather supply for upholstering.
Leather is by-product. The supply |
cannot be increased at will as crops and 4
metals are. but is dependent on the hide |
supply; and cattle are not killed pri- !
marily, for their hides.
The latest census reports show that |
the cattle population has decreased 20 I
per cent in the last ten years. and the |
population has increased the same per-
centage.
Shoes. therefore, are to be more ex-
pensive. 1t is said that the increase for
the present will be about 20 per cent,
but will likely be more by next fall.

Want TO IMPROVE LIVING CON.
DITIONS OF CANNERY WORKERS

DR.. w. R. Messick of Lewes, State
cannery Inspector Charles H. Grant
land, child labor Inspector; Miss Mary
Malone, ten hour law Inspector and
Charles Warner. chairman of the State
Labor Commission, had a conference at
the Hotel du Pon6 in Wilmington, re
Gently, when the subject Of trying to
better living conditions for persons from
other communities or States who are
employed in canneries and packing
houses in Delaware was discussed.
During the season of the canneries
hundreds of Bohemians aud other labor
ers, men and women, come from Mary
land and other States into Delaware to
work in the canneTies.
They are housed in shacks and cot
tages especially built for them. In sew
eral instances, it is claimed, the housing
and sanitary conditions where these inn
ported laborers live are not what they
should be. On the other hand, the hOus-
ing conditions at a cannery at Mt. Pleas
ant, in Newcastle County, and at a
cannery in Millsboro, Sussex County,
are pointed to as the best that have
been provided for the imported workers
of the canneries. The State Labor Com
mission, and the inspectors probably will
confer with some of the owners of can
neries, to try to have improved some Of
the housing conditions. At Mi lsbor0,
a nursery with a matron in charge, is
maintained to care for children Of the
women workers.
