Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes, says the
Manchester Guardian. Evening dress
is not abolished, but it is becoming|
much less customary in theaters and
restaurants, and people coming up toI
London who used to bring evening"
clothes with them no longer do So
Stiff white collars are disappearing,
and the soft collar is worn by ALI
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr. Keir Hardies cloth cap createdl
on its first appearance there, but it'll
has advanced immensely since the war
began. Frock coats are in small and
diehard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive mirac-
ulously, it might seem, until one re-
members their enduring qualities, sol
that their persistence is only a form
of war economy after all.

ment for q constant circulation of
fresh, pure air, making the stable floor
impervious to moisture and easily
flushed out and finishing off ceilings
and side walls to be dust free. Too
much sunlight cannot be given to the
stock. If q healthy herd is desired,
sunlight must get into every nook and
corner of the building at least once a
day. Sun is natures disinfectant and
cleans a stable of disease germs.
A farm barn for the stabling of
dairy cows, horses and beef cattle, is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tions. 1t is so feet by "a feet in size,
and is of the monitor roof type of barn
so often seen in Indiana and Illinois.
The dairy stable end of the barn is
partitioned across opposite the silo.
The steel COW stalls are set in the
concrete floor in the usual way, and
there is an alley behind the cows wide
enough for a good passage through.
The horses are in one wing and the
! loose stock runs in a covered barn
yard or partially enclosed shed in the
| other wing.
Hay storage reaches from the
ground to the peak in the center of
the barn. The wings also are 1loored
over the stables and the cattle shed. so
the whole size of the barn is made in
to storage from this floor up. Usual
ly straw is blown into the wings at
threshing time and the center Of the
barn is filed with hay.
There are feed racks running the
whole length of the stock shed. Over
these feed racks are chutes to let the
hay or other roughage down from the
big NOW so that the racks are easily
filed at feeding time. At the same
time hay is let down in the feeding
alley on the side of the barn for thu
dairy COWS. 1t is better not to have
any direct connection between the Gov
stable and the overhead storage. Ha!
for the horses and straw for hors,
bedding is put down another chute il
the horse wing.

manner in which the different alleys
branch off and extend in different di-
rectionS to reach the managers.
1t would be difficult to build better
farm barn where accommodation is
wanted for horses and dairy cows and
young stock or beef cattle in one
building. 1t is what might be called a
general farm stock barn. 1t holds a
great amount of rough fodder, because
of the depth Of the hay bay. When
hay is put into such a storage NOW
in the summer time and refilled later,
the height is sufficient to settle the
hay very solid in the bottom, so that
the space between the ground and the
roof in the center part of this build
ing will hold large quantity of hay.
Considering the size of the barn, 60
by "a feet, it is cheap barn to build.
The construction is very simple. The
center part is built with uprights
which reach to the plate and the wings
are added like sheds, with the excep-
ton that a solid concrete foundation
reaches all the way around, which
makes the barn permanent. Such a
foundation adds a great deal to the
value of the building, both in service
and looks.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

The farmer who is in the habit Of
getting his moneys worth in an invest
ment, considers five things before he
accepts the design of a barn. These
things are appearance, economy, prac-
ticability, convenience and santa
ton.
A well-lighted, handsome appearing,
practical building on the farm is a
good investment because it gives add
ed value to the property in the eyes
of a prospective buyer. Correct de-
sign is of utmost importance in obtain
ing the desired quality of good ap-
pearance, although the exterior finish
and relation of the building to other
buildings of the group must be given
surface is large. One of the easiest ways

HATS FEEL FABRIC SHORTAGE
Many of the Sport Variety Made of
Chenille and Wool Materials
That Simulate Felt.

As the season advances the diff
Guilty in procuring felt and velour
shapes becomes more apparent, due to
the demands of the army, and many
sports hats are being made Of wool
fabrics that simulate felt, and also of
chenille.
Sometimes the chenille is sewed to-
gether in close rows, and again a. knit
ted or crocheted effect is developed.
Fortunately Dame Fashion approves
the small and medium-sized hat rather
than the big, spreading picture affair.
This ruling accords well with the fab
ric shortage, which is felt fully as
much in the millinery field as in the
larger one covering coats, suits, etc.
Fashion in children's hats vary but
slightly from last year, and even at
the risk of annoying the young miss,
who undoubtedly will feel that she is
clearly entitled to a new hat, last sea-
sons model may be carefully retrim-
med without anyone outside the fam
| lily being the wiser! Poke and mush-
room shapes are the preferred ones

WAR SAVING GAME
European Conflict Takes SportS1
men Out of the Field.
Increase in the Price of Guns and Ana
munition Makes Hunting a
Rich Mans Sport.

Despite the war the permanent wild
life protective fund is continuing its
battle to save American game from
extinction, writes Frederic J. Hask--
in. War is a benefit to wild life in
that it takes many hunters out of the
field and has raised the average price
of guns and ammunition about 90 per
cent, making hunting what it is rapidly
becoming in this country, anyway-a
rich mans sport.
The wild life protection fund, in its
literature and the lectures of its cam
paigning trustee, William T. Horna-
day of the New York geological park,
is seeking to spread the idea that the
sportsmen must act to save the game,
that they are robbing themselves and
future generations if they do not. This
idea has been we'll set forth in pos
ter of the New Mexico Game Protec-
ton associations, which have set out
with determination and success to save
| the wild life of that state. The poster
| is as follows:
"Your grandfather hunted elk and
buffalo until there were none.
"You are hunting deer. There still
are some.
"What do you want your son to-
hunt? Rabbits?'
The average New Mexican reading
that sign knows that it is true. He
has heard from the old-timers what the
abundance of game used to be; he sees
in flash the long generations of ruth-S
| less destruction, the inevitable enci
when the mountains where he loves
to hunt will be lifeless. I
Another difficulty in the path of
game preservation lies in the opposi-t
ton in congress to federal action in the
matter Nothing but federal actionI
saved the wild fowl. By reason Of thel
migratory game law, drawn by gov-i
ernment scientists and providing pro-.
lection for waterfowl from Canada toi
Mexico, they are now believed to be-
safe for hundred years.
The fact which the average sports-
man does not realize is that when al
species of wild game is reduced to a
certain point it cannot come back,
no matter how much it is protected.
For example, in 1884 the buffalo hunt
| OES Sd1u anu UGllGfCu lIi6ll IIS1c WOuAu
always be plenty of buffalo. In 1885
they went out to hunt them and there
was none. 1t took them two years to-
realize the fact that the buffalo was
practically extinct. Wolves and hunt
ers destroyed the remnant much faster
than it could breed.
Of course the buffalo has been over
worked as an object lesson in game
protection. AS opponents of protec-
tive measures have pointed out, the
buffalo could not have survived civil
ization except in very limited numbers
anyway.
But this is not true of deer, elk and
mountain sheep which inhabit the high
, mountain ranges that will always be a
wilderness. There is only one measure
which can save them, and that is the
provision of game refugees in national
forests where these animals can breed
unmolested, and the increase restock
the surrounding country. ~

to obtain attractive appearance is to
mount a good type of modern venti-
lator on the roof, at as many points as
there is need for them; and in addi-
ton to the appearance, this equipment
Is considered absolutely necessary
from the standpoint of healthy stock,
among the farmers "who know"
Economy consists in using the least
wall area, a minimum of non-useful
floor space, saving of building materi-
ais wherever possible, reduction Of
heat loss through the walls, all re-
sulting in a saving Of money both in
construction of the building and In its
subsequent use. Sometimes there is
too little money invested in farm build
ings, in which case the labor cost of
maintaining the stock is excessive.
There should be a balance struck be-
tween the labor cost Of doing the farm
work and the interest on the money
Invested in buildings constructed for
the purpose of reducing this labor
cost.
Prachcability consists in proper di-
mensions of stalls, passages, doors,
cutters, hay-racks, posts, beams, brac-
ing and other parts. This considera-
ton is that which makes 1t advisable
to consider each building for the par
consideration in this connection. The
roof Of the building is largely re-
sponsible for the appearance and it
should be proportioned with this idea
in mind, but the storage capacity is
very often of greater importance than
the appearance. Properly designed
dormers can often be used to obtain
q pleasing appearance, where the roof
ticular conditions under which it is
to be used. The buildings should be
large enough to accommodate bump
er crop and as much stock as the farm
will proftably maintain. Remember
that it is far more expensive to add to
a building than it is to make it large
enough in the first place.
There is a great difference in the
convenience of barns. Such things as
the arrangement for feeding, layout of
feed and litter passages, facing Of an
imals, location Of feed rooms, silo,
doors, and hay chutes, all mean ease
or extra work as the case may be. Ar
rangement for cleaning, location of
litter carrier and feed carrier tracks,
placing Of doors and harness rooms
methods of storing hay, provision for
installing hay forks, are all matters
which should be very carefully con-
sidered.

el, which was designed by Premet, was
velours de laine in a warm shade of
"shrapnel-gray." The coatee was
rather short and of "sac" outline, with
large gun-metal buttons down the
front, and trimmings of civet-cat fur.
The fact that there were no sleeves
permitted the smart blouse under
meath to be seen to advantage.
A special point connected with this
little garment was its lining, which
was made of printed silk which
showed dark blue and black designs
on an orange ground.
Nowadays Innings are of the utmost
Importance, and since the happenings
of this most terrible war have made
silken goods cheaper than serge OF
cloth, at least in France, brocades and
printed silks are being freely used for
Innings, even in the case Of simple
tailored suits.

Flower Calendar.

At Grasse, a town in southern
France, the seasons are marked by
harvests Of flowers, for this is the CEN
ter of perfume making. In February
and March violets and jonquils are the
crop. In the summer months roses.
orange blossoms and tuberoses fill the
air with sweetness. In the autumn
lavendar is carried to the factories in
baskets, on donkey backs and in wag-
ons. All of these flowers are treated
in much the same way. They are
stuck into pure white fat, which draws
out all of their perfume. This fat be-
comes the basis for most of the Do
mades and perfumes for which Paris
is famous.

BELTS KNITTED IN SWEATERS
Models of This Kind More Graceful
on Slender, Youthful Figures
Than on the Large Woman.

Many of the new sweaters have the
belt knitted in and these models are
very graceful on slender, youthful fig
ures; but the large woman looks bet
ter in a sweater with separate belt,
buttoned or tied like a sash. The lat
ter soft Of belt may be adjusted to
suit the lines of the figure and the
knitted coat does not cling as closely
as one with the waistline drawn In
by purled band.
When the belt is knitted, the slip-on
model is favored and for autumn
these slip-on sweaters have sleeves
and very often deep sailor collars.
A very good looking model Of heavy
white wool is purle din large ribs the
whole length of the sweater. The
sleeve, set in separately, is purled al
so, and the wide rib makes the sweat
er warm and substantial looking for
autumn wear. Wide and narrow
stripes In purple border the sleeve, the
lower edge of the collar and the waist
band, which is set into the sweater
with smaller needles.
Brown sweaters are considered
smart this season and popular model
is Of brown English mohair wool
which has a rough surface like an
CORA. The belt and trimmings are of
brown Scotch wool with stripes in
lighter brown.
Very high colors are favored in silk
sweaters and the best models have
corrugated stitch forming heavy RIB
Sashes are wider than ever and are
trimmed with deep fringe; and sweat.
er pockets are very large with a point
at the lower edge, a covered button
finishing the tip Of the point.

Honorina French Soldiers

OF the methods of honoring soldiers
for distinguished service on the field
of battle, the "fourragers" conferred
upon the crack regiments of France is
one of the most original. It consists
Of colored cord ending in brass
tag, the name being derived from the
French word for a tethering rope for
horses. Every officer and man in a
regiment rewarded for gallantry in ac-
ton by the fourragers has the right
to wear this cord round the left shoul-
der. There are two classes Of the
distinction, one having green and red
cord to correspond with the croix de
guerre, and the other being in green
and yellow, on the lines of the rarer
medaille militaire.

FOX TERRIERS.

"a little girl named Kate" said
Daddy, "once owned tiny fox terrier
puppy. He was so cunning and play
full, though, like all puppies, at times
he was naughty.
"'You must have his tail cut her
friends all said.
"'Won't it hurt him?' asked Kate.
She couldn't quite imagine such a
thing happening without it hurting
frightfully. What If someone said her
arm had to be cut off, or her foot,
wouldn't it hurt?
1T won't hurt so much if you have
it cut when he is still puppy. Usu-
ally these puppies have their tails cut
off before they are sold. A fox terrier
would look very queer with long
tail. Everyone would think he was
nothing but an ordinary dog, and you
have a fine, well-bred puppy And
so her friends talked on.
'Kate felt very badly about it, but
still if her dog looked queerly, what
was she to do? And they told her it
was better, to have it done when the
dog was little.
"She saw the dog doctor and he said
he would call for the dog and take
him home for a week.

Japanese Motifs.

Several of the French designers are
turning to japan for much Of their in
spiration. This probably means that
japanese motifs will be seen in en-
broidery, as much as they were seen
last year on the new frocks.
One Of the attractive afternoon
frocks shown recently in a smart shop
is of geOrgette crepe. Long cylindrical
white beads are used as trimming, and
they are so embroidered on the skirt
as to form perpendicular lines from
