NO LAW TOO SACRED TO BREAK
SAYS MARGARET SANGER IN
BIRTH CONTROL ARTICLE
'No law is too sacred to break"
writes Mrs. Margaret Sanger, in an
article in her magazine, The Birth
Control Review" published in New
York.
She cites Moses, Christ, Joan of
Arc, Geo. Washington, ThOreau and
VIM. Lloyd Garrison as law breakers.
If woman must break the law to es-
tablish her right to voluntary moth
erhOOd, then the law shall be brok-
en-" reads the article Birth con-
troll is the most vital issue before the
country today. The people are wax
ing up to the fact that there is no
need for them to bring their children
into the world haphazard, but that
clean and harmless means are known
whereby children may come when
they are desired and not as helpless
victims of chance"
Mrs. Sanger is now involved in four
lawsuits brought against her for con-
Quoting a birth control clinic.

STYLES FOR WINTER COATS
Fashion Provides for Straight Lines
With Generous FuiIness, but
There Must Be No Flare.

Straight lines characterize the best
coats designed for the season. This
must not be taken TO mean that the
garments are narrow. Quite the con-
trary Is true. Generous fullnesS Is let
In, but they are without flare. In
street and utility coats sleeves are usu-
ally set in. while flowing sleeves cut
In one with the garment are the rule
on evening wraps.
An indicated waistline Is almost the
inyariable rule with the new coats.
Sometimes a belt that is wide and Cir
d%le-shaped is used; again n strap belt
tied loosely and with hanging ends
may be favored.
The coat with empire back and
slightly circular front section is occa-
sionally seen.
Dressy afternoon coats OF satin, or vel
vet, and nearly always deliberately fur
trimmed, are being given a great deal
OF attention by the best designers n
n strong demand for them is expected.

WINTER FLOWING OF VALUE
Importance Of Opening Up Soil Not
Generally Realized by Farmers
and Gardeners.

The Importance of opening up the
soil of all land that was not put into
fall crops in time for 1t to get the full
benefit of d~isintegrating frosts and
enriching SHOWS is not so generally
realized by farmers and home gar
deners as Ii should be.
More particularly are these atmos-
pheric effects of value on clay and
other stiff soils, and in the vegetable
garden and the orchard the turning
over and %loosening of the earth ex-
poses the alternating forms of many
insects to the sharp eyes of birds,
poultry and the smaller rodents, while
those that are not eaten perish from
the disturbance.
While 1t Is altogether better that
this working of the ground should be
done in the fall, before the ground
has frozen, 1t can also often be done
during open spells from midwinter
until March, with the subsequent
freezes and SHOWS TO produce the good
effects desired. OF course, this can
not be done unless the warm spells
are of sufficient duration to have the
ground thoroughly settled, else the
job would be difficult and unsatisfac-
tory.

The wise mother will keep an eye
on the remnant counter. and on odds

With n clever combination of fabrics,
or n deft touch of handwork here and
there, she will give originality and In

A complete seasons outfit should
never be arranged at n time. A new
dress now and then means more to a
child than it does TO an adult, SO that
to some extent the Juvenile wardrobe
should be arranged piecemeal.

Two New Shapes.

with which the shape is covered. In
some cases long-haired silk beaver Is
adopted, but silk beaver hats are ex-
ceedingly expensive and for ordinary
wear shapes covered with soft "our-
sine" are quite as effective.
The model sketched was In pure
white oursine, with a wide band of
sapphlre-blue velvet twisted round the
top of the crown and tied In a loose
bow at one side. Similar hats are
simply trimmed with q wide band of
crochet work In some bright-c0lored
wool, with a full tassel falling coquet-
tishly over the right ear.
The second head shows a model by
Lewis. This is one Of the newest
shapes, and 1t is half hat, half toque.
In front the brim Is pressed into a
point, but at the back 1t is flat anc
finished with a large, fiat bow. No
trimming is introduced or hats of this
kind, and they are worn well pressed
down over the hair.
For wearing with simple tailored
suits this model would be specially
suitable and it might be made in some
bright colored velvet or panne; for ex'
ample, in emerald green or tomato red

There are millions of dollars worth

bacteria have an almost endless sup

The way to tap this great wealth Is
