MAKE YOUR OWN
FRENCH BL0USES

In spite Of tho war and In spite Of
the fact that French women are prac-
tically carrying on the industry and
agriculture of their country at the
present time, many of the shops are
showing perfectly delightful French
handmade blouses at a price that
seems compared to the advanced price
OF most everything else we wear or
cat, very reasonable.
Imagine a waist made Of substantial,
though sheer, cotton batiste with finely
hemstitched sailor collar and cuffs and
fine hand-inserted cording at the
seams. for 81! Yet that was the price
asked for such a blouse a week or so
ago. The sleeves were long and we'll
shaped and cuffs were tight-a char
acteristio almost never seen in waists
as cheap as that. The buttonholes
were made by hand and there were
numerous other little hand touches and
bless the economical French sister
that made the waist--a neat little
square Of the batiste folded and tack ed
to the inside of tie waist for future
mending. Why. we Americans would
never think Of mending a two-dol1aI
waist.
For higher prices other exquisite
French waists could be bought in
oluding many made of French voile and
many made of a soft, dull shade of
pink and an equally soft shade of blue
There was a profusion Of tucks on the
higher priced of these waists. and one
that showed a low neck line that
spread quite wide at the shoulders
was finished at the top with a quaint
little outstanding ruffie.
It is not every day that one can pick
UP a French waist for 50. Usually they
cost at least IS. However, the clever
woman can take lessons from these

A Difference.

1t is a remarkable fact that some
counties possessing from two to three
hundred miles of improved highways
are still talking of increasing the mile
age.
While other counties, with just as
prosperous people living in it and pos
sessfng just as fertile land and ma
tural resources, have practically not a
mile of improved highways outside Of
those in towns and don't care. cent
about them.
This difference in rural uplift is hard
to define.
Perhaps the reason why the coun-
ties with a taste of good roads want
more of them SO strenuously is be-
cause they have experienced their val
ne, while those who plod along with
old-time clay roads haven't an oppor-
tunity of noting how much time and
energy they wasted in putting up
with them.
It is a fact. however, that the good
roads movement is spreading annual
ly, and in ten years there won't be a
county in the country without a fair
supply of real roads.-Franklin Press.

DRAINAGE RELIEF FOR
THE FLOODED DISTRICTS,

Prevailing conditions in western
North Carolina are such as to Justify
temporary measures in protecting the
crops n soils that are left.
Most of the rich top soil has to
some extent washed away, leaving
a soil that is low in humus and of a
hne-graln mixture. Such soils yield
easily to erosion, which should be
checked until grasses and cover crops
get control again. AS a temporary
relief a system of small falling ter
races with half spacing should be i'm
mediately established. This can be
done during the blowing by throwing
up small banks 5 or 6 feet wide, with
6 inches fall in 100 feet and a vertical
spacing of 2 to 8 feet apart. These
may be abandoned very easily when
normal conditions return, or every
other terrace may be enlarged and
and maintained.
To fill the gullies recently made
small earth dams or other obstruc-
lions should be built across them, al
lowing the collected water to pass
away through pipes laid under the
dams. If nothing is done, these gull
lies increase in size with each rain.
To get relief from the valley lands,
the streams should be cleared of al!
debris. If this is not done. the chan
mel will become silted up and over
flow conditions will become perman-
nent, v for ordinary rains, thus
destroying the agricultural value of
such lands.-Extension News.

the lunch basket are not all of the

no longer considered a mere brain
factory working independently OF
other conditions and relations, but is
rather a plant that works both the
mind and body. Children bring with

mind is often handicapped by some

Sometimes it is a child's teeth, weak
