ADVICE ON SHARKS
Written for EVENING JOURNAL
By JAMES T. cRozIER.

A shark will never bite you friend.
You take this tip from me;
Just use the bath tub when you bathe,
And don't go near the sea.
Those things are very dangerous.
And don't care who they bite;
You always follow this advice,
Because l know I'm right.
And then another comfort It
AS everybody knows,
You don't need any bathing suit,
Or any other clothes.
You surely can enjoy yourself,
Just like some circus clown;
! guess you'll look like Adam when
That gent first came to town.
You don't need any life guards, then,
Don't hear no billows roar;
No lockers on can bother you
Because you locked the door.
Our bathtub has been used for years,
BY members Of our set;
A shark or anything like that,
We've never seen there yet.
So when you wish 10 take a bath,
Remember what I say;
know you surely will be safe.
To do so every day.
It's the only place for bathing.
That we know Of in this land:
Take one at night. get into bed.
You'll sleep TO beat the band.

IS the concrete surface is sometimes
so slippery that the horses are likely
to fall. The concrete floor does not
bother the cows, and it is used to
large extent in the floors of dairy sta
bles. The wood block floor generally
consists of rectangular blocks that are
treated with creosote so that they viii
be protected against moisture and win
be waterproof. The cork brick con

shape.
A small barn such as this, built sub
stantially and placed on a concrete
foundation, can always be used on
any farm even If the dairy outgrows
its original home. The building can
be easily changed over to serve as an
implement shed or for one Of the many
uses to which buildings on the farm
can be put.
The nine COW stanchions occupy one
side of the barn and the other is filed
with three large box stalls. The litter
alley runs through the center between
the stanchions and the box stalls. The
COW stalls are built with concrete or
other special barn floors. which are
placed ON slant so as to drain read
lily into the gutter. A concrete man
ger is built along the front of the
stanchions. The box stalls can be
used for any purpose that is desired,
and very often they are used for grain
bins until other storage has been pro-
vided.
The upper part OF the barn contains
the NOW in which the hay and the
straw can be stored. The floor OF the
NOW should be made with matched
boards, so that the char will not fall
down on the cows. This is an impor-
tant feature in any barn and is often
neglected

as this is often taken care Of In two
ways. Some farmers insist on regu-

Blouses for the coming spring are
made of all the daintiest wash fabrics
in cotton and silk, and their creators
never before presented such varied
and beautiful assortments. Excellent
as the model waists have been hither-
to, those of today are better. The
American woman is welded to the
blouse; it answers her needs perfect
ly. 1t is made for utility, but not at
the sacrifice Of beauty, and the sheer
cottons and lightweight silks used in
its construction are woven to last and
to withstand washing. They will even
outwear heavier materials.
Two of the best of the new models
are shown here, for the benefit of
those who wish to make early pur-
chases or to make up their OWE
blouses in advance of the season.
Each of them embodies at least one of
the new style features Of the spring
season.
The blouse at the left is made of
fine white wolfe and cut on the most
popular of patterns. The back piece
is extended over the shoulder to form
a short yoke,at the front, and the plain
surface of the material is relieved by
groups of the narrowest OF fiat tucks.
The vogue for narrow landings, and
two colors in one garment, is recog-
nized in this model. A border of
wolfe, in blue or rose or maize color,
finishes the edge of the collar and
the top of the pockets and cuffs
and extends down the fronts. The
banding is set in with hemstitching,
and the effect is very fine. Small
sprays of embroidery outline the peck
cts. in the same tint as the banding.

barn shown here would not be practi-
cal for large dairy farm, but the
large dairy barn would also be q
white elephant" for the farmer who
had no dairy or had no market for
the products Of large herd of cows
Each farmer ought to pick the type
of building that is suited to his par
ticular needs and also suited to his
pocketbook. The big dairyman is like
ly to look with scorn on small barn
such as this, but it fills as important a
position in the farm-building field as
any other. 1t is a type that is suited
to the average farm where only few
cows are kept.
The foundation is made of concrete
which is carried down to footings be-
low the frost line and is also carried
above the ground for about a foot or
Is inches. Concrete has almost be-
come the universal material for
foundations because 1t is SO easily
handled and also is not affected by

All this work is done, with amazing
cleverness, by machinery, and the
blouse may be bought for a moderate
price, something like four or five dol
lars. When the embroidery and sew
ing is done by hand the blouse will
bring more money in the shops, but
the needlewoman may make it at
home, introducing her own bandwork,
for less than the machine-made gar
ment must bring to be profitable to
the retailer.
At the right a blouse Of white
crepe de chine is shown. in which ma
chine stitching, in black, furnishes a
very elegant and graceful decoration.
This idea was brought out by mo-
diste of Paris in the earliest costume
showings, and is proving very useful
to makers of blouses. The blouse is
almost perfectly plain, with high col
lar and deep cuffs. 1t is finished and
stitched with exquisite neatness, and
calculated to delight the eyes of all
those women who appreciate the ele-
gance of tailormade styles.

moisture as Is wood when it is placed
underground. Concrete is also used
to a large extent in making the floors
of all kinds Of barns, but it does not
have the clear claim to the field here,
as there are several types of floors
that are becoming very popular, and
for many purposes they are better
than concrete.
No matter what type of floor is de-
cided upon, 1t is absolutely necessary
that the ground underneath be COM
pacted smoothly 80 as to furnish a
support for the floor. Any floor will
look like failure If the foundation
falls out from in under it in spots
and allows 1t to sag or break in this
place. The walls and foundations are
put in first and the ground is then
smoothed OF for the floor. The ground
should be wet thoroughly SO that it
will be equally compact in all parts.
There are two types of floors that
are being used in many places, in
stead of concrete, for floors. They are

block Both are made now so that
they will form watertight sanitary
surface that can be washed down
with hose the same as q concrete

taffeta and other silks, are among the

terials used for making them are mod
