Talk of the TO,Un

There are plenty of boys who want

"The only trouble is to CO. ordinate
the time, the job and the boy.
We find 1t difficult to adjust the
demand for student labor to the
classes AMI laboratory periods of the
boys. However, we manage to get a
good many Jobs and a good many boys
together by holding a sort Of clearing
house session once each day.
THE principal demand for boys just
now :lppears to be as diggers of po-
tatoes. John Maciay wants five spud-
diggers for Saturday and Sunday and
Stuart Mc!Iaffie needs six or seven.
Then, Jimmie Piquette wants six or
seven lads to set up pins in his bowl

chance TO study between games.
What the boys like best, though, is
a steady job, something on which they
can count and to which they can

RAISING OF WILD GAME is ENCOURAGED

The raising of wild game" is
comparatively new industry in this
country, but has been making remark
able strides in the last twelve months,
according to the report of the Game
Conservation society, says New York
Times. The society's membership in
cludes many breeders who have estab-
lShed game farms for the purpose of
renewing the cOuntry's supply of game
fowl for table consumption. This sup
ply, according to members of the sOci-
ETY., was rapidly diminishing until a
year or so ago. and many of the most
delectabie forms of wild food that had
formerly been plentiful in this country
had become rare dishes even for cpl
cures.
Wild ducks and pheaSants are among
the varieties of fowl that are being
raised by the breeders at the present
time, and according to the sOciety'S re-
port the former have become so plen-
tifnl through this method in some
states that they have appeared on the
market at prices which place wild duck
within the range of the public gen
orally instead of the rich alone. In
Minnesota, the report states, wild duck
sold at 81 each this year. 1t is sug-

indicate that our members have over
100000 game birdS-there were fewer
than 100000 reported last year-and
that they have several times as many
deer and elk as they had last year.
The membership of the society has
doubled during the year, and our list
shows a very rapid increase.
"The breeding of quail and grouse
has been started in the Western states,
and there is much interest in quail
breeding in the Southern states, which
are well adapted to the production Of
quail in big numbers.
"Despite the fact that hundreds of
thousands of pheaSants have been
raised by the breeders" the report
says, "the prices have continued to
rise because importers have been pre-
vented from bringing these birds from
foreign countries.

WAR IS DECLARED
ON PEG-TOP SKIRT

this side of the water as far as skirts
are concerned, because France, through
her February openings, has given
enough ideas in the matter of cutting
and draping skirts to last a sensible
continent whole year, let alone half
season.
Each designer in Paris had fling
at an oval skirt, and each designer,
not resting content with one origina-
ton, tried a hundred methods in as
many materials. Therefore, the accu-
mutation of ideas in the new French
frocks is quite heavy enough to stulti-
fly any idea in the hearts of American
designers that they now have a chance
to promote some American fashion.
Whichever way one turns, there is
new idea in skirts. So true is this
that, after going through the openings,
one rushes to tailor who makes man

igh-PriCed DresSmakerS Want
Something Different From
That Sold in Shops.
WARY IN ADOPTING DESIGN
Those Who Cater to Exclusive Sets
Refuse to Accumulate Barrel Eff
fect-Short Jacket Has Settled
Place in Fashions.

New York.-There is a real struggle
between the barrel or pegtop skirt and
the one that hangs plumb from waist
to ankles. 1t is not necessary to indi-
cate that the lines are drawn between
the exclusive, high-priced dressmakers
and the shops, in the battle to produce
the most fashionable skirt.
There is, ostensibly, feeling among
the women and men who cater to fas-
tidious and conservative clientele, that
whatever the manufacturers have put
out in large numbers should be avoided
| by them. This feeling is not based on
any bitterness or rivalry between the
two concerns; it is really a reflection
on the patrons of these exclusive
places. 1t is not possible for dress
makers who hold their heads high in
prices to sell in bulk they must make
their money from the individual, not
from the mass, and there is strong
and growing feeling among the patrons
Of speciality plates that they will not
wear the gowns which are seen in shop
windows, and especially those which
are manufactured by the hundreds and
sold throughout the trade. These wom-
en- want French models or gowns that
cannot be initiated and sold by the
dozen for less than $50.
When the barrel skirt was first ex
plotted on this side of the ocean, the
semi-annual openings in Paris had Il u
taken place, and the majority of dress
makers insisted that they would not
answer for the success of the peg-tOp
or oval silhouette, as one chooses to
call it, because it was not probable that
Paris would show it later in the sea-
son, and equally improbable that fas-
tidious patrons would want to pay a
large price for a style that had been
run to the ground through wholesale
distribution.
Theory Fell Flat.
This argument was plausible and
it influenced those who handled thu
so-called barrel skirt; but this built
up theory proved to be a house of
cards that fell flat under the weight
of the semi-annual Paris openings,
where the peg-tOp skirt, or oval sill
houette, was featured in every prom
inent house.
The flare went out of hens as sud
denly as a flash of lightning leaves
the sky. Circular skirts remained in
fashion, but they were attenuated and
simplified. The hens dropped down
from one to four inches, and the
straight line of machine pleating came
into fashion. The French gowns all
displayed tendency to be held in at
the hem in some manner, and the

dressmakers all over the country were
face to face with the fact that the
skirts shown by the manufacturers and
those they had brought over were dou-
BILE first cousins, If not sisters.
Yet, against this fact, the dressmak-
ers who cater to exclusive sets are in
sisting that the peg-top silhouette is
to be taken up warily and not accen-
tuated.
All the dressmakers are willing to
take material from the skirts or to
hold whatever material they use In a
narrow, hobbled band at the instep.
They weight the hem so that 1t will not
fare, but they do not pull the skirt out
or shape it over the hips in any ex-
IRENE manner.

GEESE REQUIRE MUCH SPACE
Fowls Should Be Confined as Little as
PossibIe-Water for Bathing
Is of importance.

Geese should be confined as little as
possible, as they need plenty of room
to walk about. While it is not strictly
necessary to have a pond or other wa
ter for them to swim in, bathing is
very beneficial in keeping them clean
and in affordlng exercise to prevent
overwhelming.
When geese are within range of wa
ter and are suffered to roam at large
they usually discover it and daily re-
sort to it afterward. But nOthwith-
standing their fOndness for water their
sleeping places must be kept dry.

WINTER EGGS FROM PULLETS
Must Be Hatched Early Enough to

Pullets will always be the main
force in producing winter eggs. AS in

laying is not natural, and their tend

offset by Matching them early enough
to reach the degree of growth and ma

Pullets that have not sufficient de-

severe winter weather starts will al
most invariably not lay before Febru.

The Struggle in Jackets.
There is no serious fight between
the long and the short jacket, and
there are not many original ideas in
coats. There are Americans who have
gladly turned to the tailors of this
country for ideas, because they did not
find what they wanted in the French
output.
Everyone was warned that Paris
could not produce a stable assortment
of coat suits for this spring, on ac-
count of the scarcity of men workers.
Some of the houses, notably Doeuillet,
produced their usual quota of coats
and skirts for the American trade, but
the entire burden of cleverness, orig
inality and good workmanship was car
ried by the one-piece frocks which, in
nearly all cases, had a long coat to
match.
The stress Of French designing was
laid upon the gown with its coat, and
not the short skirt with its short jack
ct. The French designers themselves
said to the American buyers when
they were there in February, that no
one produced the mannish coat and
skirt to such perfection as the Ameri-
can tailor, and that it seemed to
| France quite unnecessary to invent
much in that direction for people who
were past masters of the art.
A few lines were laid down for gen.
eral work, because America must have
its silhouette from Paris, regardless Of
the way in which 1t twists and turns
it in this country. Therefore, the tight
ly plated, straight skirt or the slightly
| circular skirt with three seams was
offered with short jacket, usually
trusting to its collar and cuffs for orig
inality.
American Makers Pleased.
This situation has vastly pleased
the manufacturers in this country.
They are already flooding the CONT
nent with coat suits of their own de-
signing, and the American women are
giving large orders to tailors who do
not go to France or copy French mod
els. So everyone is pleased, includ-
| ing France.
The fly In the ointment, as far as
the tailors are concerned, is that the
American woman is looking very kind
ly upon the French idea of one-piece
frock and three-quarter coat, but,
as those in and out of the trade argue,
1t is as difficult to persuade an Anglo
Saxon woman to do without her man
nish coat suit as to ask her to do
without shirtwaist,
