Lingerie BIouses.

The colored blouse Of organdie,
voile. georgette and wash satin has
taken such hold on the popular
fancy that it is quite difficult to find a
really attractive plain white blouse. ex-
cepting those for sports wear. Pale
pink, all tones of tan and yellow, soft
blues and grays predominate. The
costume blouse of pale cream lace or
Georgette usually has an interlining
of the palest fish chiffon; the blue

harmonious contrast 1t is indeed a
season of color and one may indulge

CALF REQUIRES MUCH CARE
Future Success of Dairyman Depends
Largely on Attention Given to
Young Animals.

The well-bred calf is made or un-
made the first II months of its life.
Good dairymen are poor calf raisers,
and this has resulted in the stunted
calf we see on the average farm. Calves
are well cared for in Holland and Den
mark, which fact has had much to do
with the development Of the industry
in those countries. The future success
Of the dairyman depends so largely
upon the care of his calves that too
much emphasis cannot be placed upon
this subject.

EATING PAPER Is NOT HARD
How Fanny Murray Outdid Feat Of
Won der Goltz, the Ger
man Spy.

1t Is with a mitigated commiseration
that one reads the story Of how Won
der Gotz, the German spy finding him
self recognized In Petrograd, spent
some hours eating two parcels Of in
eliminating papers which he dare not
burn in the CRATE"
AS feat of masticatiOn, says the
London Observer, Won der Goltz by no
means holds the record. Paper is cas-
lily reduced to a pulp and swallowed
(the ink acting as ap appetizer). and
the only difficulty in this case was the
quantity. Leather is another matter,
but apart from meals of hard-pressed
explorers there are authenticated in
stances of meals of the kind.
What may be described as paper
meal de luxe was that of the famous
Fanny Murray mentioned by Horace
Walpole: II liked her spirit in an in
stance | heard of t'other night. She
was complaining of want of money.
Sir Richard Atkins Immediately gave
her f20 note. She said: D your

The little miss, with the pretty curls,
looks well In the simplest of her
clothes, but she is adorable in her party
frocks. She is sweetly conscious of be-
ing call dressed up" and is entirely sat
lsfied with things as they are. This is
a state of mind most comfortable for
all concerned.
The little party frock pictured above
is made Of such simple and inexpensive
materials that every small girl is en-
titled to have her instinct for finery
INDUCED. 1t requires nothing more eX-
travagant than albatross cloth in cream
white, little venetian lace in an all
over pattern and plain cream white net
for the sleeves. The albatross Is a
light weight wool fabric in crepelike
weave which has the advantage of be-
ing washable. 1t comes in white and
all colors. Venetian lace is familiar
as a pretty and serviceable sort Which
is just as washable as the plain net of
which the sleeves are made.
In this dress the skirt is joined to a
plain short sleeveless waist. With It's
fullness disposed in a group of plaits
at each side the skirt hangs In panel
Mt the front and back. The short body
is supported by narrow straps over the
shoulder and fastens with small but

from the fact that less grass will be
needed by the cows, and the droppings
from the cows will enrich the pasture
to a considerable extent. The manure
should be broken fine and spread over
the sod and not left in solid cake to
kill the grass under it. Keep the cows
in the pasture day and night.
1t may not pay to feed grain on
some farms, especially when the grass
is abundant. Most milk farmers be-
lieve it pays to feed little grain all
through the summer mOnths-this is
the custom in most dairy districts. If
grain cannot be fed, arrange to have
plenty of fodder corn, millet or sugar
cane. Fodder corn has the most food
value when the corn is in silk. Cut
and allow the fodder to wilt q few
hours before feeding. Place an armful
of this fodder in each cows stall for
the nights feed, the cows will be ready
to come to the stable in milking time
as soon as the pasture gate is opened.
Grain or forkful of green feed in the
cows stall will keep them quiet during
the time of milking-and a larger yield
of milk may be had when this is pro-
vided.

DROPPING OF MIDDLE NAMES
A Two-PIy Title Found to Be More
Convenient Socially, Morally and
Financially.

This is the day of the two-cylinder
cognomen connoisseurs who have
looked over every name at Harvard
and inspected the persons to whom the
names belong. They learned that
some extremely nice persons have no
middle names at all, and seem to get
on rather well without them.
1t Is assumed that the ever-grow-
ing trend toward efficiency is to be
blamed for the dropping of diversified
names, for it has long been understood
that a person with a two-ply title need
not be especially embarrassed about it.
In the course of n wealthy mans life
1t means the writing of about 10000
600 useless words if he uses his mid
die name on checks and Endorsements,
and these things have got to be con-
sidered.
The Porcelain club ut Harvard, the
most exclusive organization of its kind
in the country, proves this year the
failing value of middle names. There
are fifteen members this year, and but
five of them are burdened with excess
sive nomenclature.
OF course, George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had no middle names,
but this evidence is considered as moth
ing at Harvard compared with the fact
that Theodore Roosevelt hasn't. That
one fact is almost enough to wreck the
complicated title system at the uni
versity.

PICKED UP AROUND DAIRY
Dirty Milk Is Dangerous-Always
Feed Full Ration.

The small-top milk pail is neces-
sity in the production of clean milk.
Dirty milk is more dangerous than
dirty water because disease germs that
would starve in water will multiply
rapidly in milk.
When the dairy COW is fed just
enough to maintain her body weight
she cannot be expected to give much
milk.
About one-half of the nutrients in
the average ration go to sustain the
body.
Always feed q full ration.

INCREASING YIELD OF MILK
Two Quarts Of Wheat Bran Morning
and Evening viii Bring About
Desired Results From Cows.

If the milk is sold it will pay to give
each COW two quarts of wheat bran
morning and evening. Give n forkful
of hay or straw to each the first thing
in the morning, and after the hay is
eaten the bran may be given. This
method of feeding keeps the cows in
good order, the milk yield is increased
and there is less danger from bloat

REMOVE CALF FROM MOTHER
Strong, Vigorous Youngster Can Very
Safely Be Taken Away After
One Good Filling Up.

The time of taking a calf from its
mother should be governed by the
condition of the calf. A strong, Wig
orous calf can very safely be removed
after one good filling up; but 1t is a
distinct mistake to take weakly,
poor-nourished calf from its dam be-
fore three days or a week.

Q. Did the recent conferences do any
thing to cellar up these Inconsistencies? /?
A. Not much. All they could do was
TO recommend The rules remain as be-
fore. Perhaps during the year new leg
islation will straighten out some of the
tangles. Some OF the suggestions were
good enough but absolutely nothing
was done with summer baseball, the
bone of all the contention.
Among other things the conference
agreed that a professional coach might
he allowed to compete as an amateur in
any sport other than that in which ne
had coached as soon as he announced
his retirement as a coach. and that he
might even compete as an amateur in
the sport in which he coached at the
expiration of a five-year term after he
had abandoned his coaching career.
Q. Why isn't an amateur who capt.
ta Lies his athletic reputation and knowl-
edge of athletics by writing for news
papers and magazines as much a pro-
fessional as the man who comDetes for
money?
A. This Is an example of loose think
ing. Writing for money does not make
a man run any faster or play ball any
better. In fact. II has no bearing what
ever on his athletic skill. Playing a
game for money and making a business
|, OF II, however. gives one q physical
proficiency Y hich the average amateur
can never attain. and makes conpeti-
4, tion between them unfair.
g. Then why should football off
cisl be declared a professional because
he receives pay for his services?
A. In accordance with the distinction
Just made there is no reason for II.
@. Is a boy who acts as a playground
attendant professional?
A. According to the rules. yes. But Il
is an unfair. Arbitrary discrimination.
Q. What Is the best wav to deal with
the problem of the summer baseball"
players?
! A. There should be an intercollegiate
baseball association organized for the
control of this sport. II should preserve
| the anna teurism OF college men in q
| form that can be enforced. and should
recognize the fact that baseball Is our
national game and that students cannot
be enforced from engaging in II during

Height Of Msteore.

Meteors, or shooting stars, are
small solid bodies that fall through
space, become incandescent in the at
mosphere Of the earth and usually dis
appear in the form OF gas or dust. II
two observers stationed several miles
apart see the same shooting star and
note the point in the sky where It ap
pearea they can construct a hypo
thetical triangle, the apex of which is
the point Of appearance Of the meteor,
and thus obtain the approximate
height of the shooting star when it
first became visible. For a long period
Of years, 1t appears, German observer
employed this method Of estimating
the height Of shooting stars. From
careful observations of no less than
102 meteors he found that the mean
height at which shooting stars first be.
come visible Is 81 miles. The mean
height Of the point at which they dis
appear is about 50 miles, and the Az
erage length Of their visible path Is
miles.
