COATS FOR THE
EARLY SEASON.

A light coat for the demi-season is
necessity and 1t must be Of a char
acter to suit almost any occasion.
Whenever a chill in the air demands
1t, morning, afternoon or evening, 1t ia
to grace its wearer by its conservative
but undeniably good style. 1t is one
Of the difficult things that designers
face each spring, and they wrestle
with its problems with varying sue
cess. The spring coat depends upon
its style to make 1t a ready seller or a
failure. in the eyes of the manufac-
turer. 1t must be in line with the mode
as to shape, quiet as to color, and an
advantage to the figure of the wearer.
Hence there are many models.
An elegant demi-season coat of gah-
ardine shown in the picture, is lined
with striped taffeta. 1t is banded with
silk in self color, about the bottom and
at the cuffs. The small turnover col
lar is of velvet,
The body Of the coat is semifitting
with belt across the back. It's skirt at
the sides and below the belt at the
back hangs In godets There is less
fullness in 1t at the front and from
the shoulders to point several inches

Like so many Of the new coats 1t be-
trays ingenious cutting. There is
pointed yoke at the back that suggests
a little cape. The upper part of the
body terminates in a long point at
each side in the front. But these de-
tails in shaping are inconspicuous. Elk

banding the coat Is untrimmed The
model is in very dark blue. ~ ~

and cut somewhat longer. One Of the
handsomest models made Of covert
and other cloths is cut to hang straight
but very full. The waist line Is de-
fined by rows of stirring at each side
and by a belt across the back and
front. It has deep cuffs and wide
collar that may be turned up about tho
neck. Et
An extreme of the fiaring mode has
attracted much attention, although It
is made of dark blue gabardine It
has high cape collar and panels down
the front of blue-and-white checked
material 1t flares from the shoulders
down, but belt which emerges from
slashes at each side of the front pre-
tends to hold its fullness somewhere
near the waist of the wearer, ut the
front.

SPORTS CLOTHES
FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

There are sports clothes for every
body, but it is the young woman that
may be- as daring as she likes in Sc
lecting them. Other people look well
enough in them, when they are care
fully selected. but she can carry on
anything that happens to please her
fancy. 1t is already evident that
sports coats and sports skirts please
her so we'll that she is determined to
enliven the streets with them. Here
tofore she has relied upon fads OF the
hour. in the way of accessories, to
add snap and individuality to her
tailored suit. Now she goes gayly
about in coats and skirts that don't
need anything additional in the way
of snap.
1t is a matter for thankfulness that
the colors and color combinations in
sports clothes are attractive. White

from live stock the ten farms showed
ten per cent more income from each
animal than the average. The crops
were better especially potatoes, the
most important crop, which went 1872
bushels to the acre, against AN average
yield of 80 bushels. The farm business
was so arranged on these ten good
farms that every man and every horse
was able to cover from ten to twenty
per cent more ground than the aver
age.
AS result of these methods the ten
farms mentioned showed an average
labor income of nearly $1,400 while
the average man in the locality had a
labor income Of only $414. This is all
the more striking when one considers
that a mans labor income is not mere
ly what he makes above expenses, but
in what is left as pay for his years
time over interest on his investment
which, in the case of the larger farms
of the ten men mentioned, would be q
heavier charge than the average.

Save Meteorites.

The South African Journal of Sci
ence records the steps that have been
thus far taken, at the suggestion of
the South African Association for the
Advancement Of Science, to secure
legislation in various countries in the
interests of science. The committees
of sections A and c of the British as
ISOLATION adopted the following resolu-
ton at the Australia meeting: THAT
in view of the fact that meteorites
which convey information of world
wide Importance are sometimes dis
posed Of privately in such way as to
deprive the public Of this information,
the council be requested to take such
steps as may initiate international leg
islation on the matter" Since the
Australian meeting this resolution has
been accepted by the council of the
British association and transmitted to
the International Association of Acade-
mics.

INVESTIGATION is
ESSENTIAL ON FARM
Good Yields From Crops and Live
Stock Are Necessary for
Paying Business.

(By 8. B. CLELAND. Minnesota Expert
ment Station)
With each new era visited or old
area revisited by men doing the farm
management demonstration wo..k it
becomes more and more apparent that
good size of business, good yields
from crops and from live stock and
proper diversiflcation of the farm
business are all essential to success in
farming. A recent demonstration
shows this in striking fashion.
The most profitable ten farms in a
certain locality were compared with
the average of some 60 farms visited
and in all respects mentioned were
found to be better than the average.
In the matter of size, whether consid-
ering total acreage, acreage in crops
or acreage in potatoes, these ten farms
averaged 50 per cent larger than the
average of the locality. In returns
