Can rain dampen the spirits of Boy Scouts? "Not so as you could notice it,' say the Norwich boys.

Neither did the rain prevent a good showing in subscription work For the day the troops reported a total of 1O5 sub scriptions for $12,05O.

BIG DESIGNS, IN CRETONNEs
Tendency Is Toward Large Figures,
Especially for Window Curtains
and Chair Cushions.

There is, perhaps, no very distinctive
thing about the new cretonnes and
chintzes and printed linens-and, per
haps, that Is just what gives them their
characteristic charm. For among them
can be found one to suit every sort Of
taste. ..'.
Perhaps the tendency is toward big
Observation-Disclosures there are charming
small designs If you want them. But
the big designs are more effective, 1t Is
safe to say, for window curtains and
cushions in chairs-and nowadays
yards and yards of cretonne are used
for these purposes. Moreover, the bags
that are made now are so huge that
even large designs show well on them.
The bird has come to stay in Gre
tonne, AID he appears in more gor-
geous plumage than ever this year. He
Is most often parrot, perhaps be-
cause the parrot has such gaudy Plum
age by nature that unexaggerated 1t
makes colorful cretonne. Sometimes
he is some other sort Of tropical bird,
Of gayly colored plumage. Occasionally
he Is an almost colorless bird Of some
sort-and In dull rose and gray-black
he is quite as effective as the brilliant
parrot.
Then, little figures, chiefly Of Chi
nese and Japanese sort, appear on some
of the new cretonnes. These are very
attractive in some places, and are quite
unattractive in others. In many OF
the smartest new bags they are used to
distinct advantage. And sometimes
they may be employed in hangings
with very good effect.

USE MUCH WOOL EMBROIDERY
Paris Designers Place Unusual DE-
signs on Almost Every Kind Of Ma
teriaI, Even Chiffon.

Since the simple silhouette is an es-
tablished fact, an opportunity has been
given women to spend their time and
energy upon the charming details of
heir costumes. In America we have
been so busily engaged changing the
cut of skirts and the width Of sleeves
that we had no spare moments to spend
upon the little hand touches, the ex-
pert fnishings, and the hemstitched
edges. These seemingly Insignificant
niceties are really important, says
writer In the New York Times. In
Paris they realized that ages ago and
took advantage Of the fact, sending US
each season creations to excite envy
because Of their infinite attention to
he little things that put their stamp
IF perfection upon the finished gown.
Wool embroidery, the Partisan edict
8, shall be an important factor In the
trimming Of winter frocks. They are
drawing wooden threads through 1t on
silk and satin, on serge and velvet, apd
-yes-even on chiffon. And the pat
:erns? They are no longer effects Of
yroup Of roses or chain Of daisies
stamped laboriously upon the material
md then worked over in tiny, close
wing stitches. The artist takes q
arge-eyed needle and strand OF
oright-colored wool and works out de-
dgn directly upon the gown, directly
1pon the spot where 1t will live until
he whole creation has become passe.

The large woman with good cause
has always considered surplus weight
a detriment to her figure. Lately she
has begun to change her opinion and
think Of excess avoirdupois In the light
Of an asset instead Of a liability, for
the new system Of designing provides
her with gowns that give the figure Of
generous proportions slim, lines.
This evening gown, designed accord
Ing to that new scientific method, pro-
duces the much.desired effect Of slen-
der lines. II is a pretty model trimmed
with beading and cut to convert all
excess avoirdupois to an aid In form

spy ON FRENCH CHILDREN.

One Of the most interesting examples Of how
specialized spy work is is shown by the way Ger
many has her secret service organized in the con-
quered portions of Belgium and northern France
German officers have found by experience that
the men and women who are left do little talking
outside Of selected groups where they know every
one can be trusted. But, often, the invaders
learned, these citizens forgot themselves when
they are talking before their children. So Ger
many sent experienced schoolteachers, men and
women who understood child psychology and who
could speak French, to the occupied cities and
towns to open French schools. When 1t is posi-
BILE the teachers win the good will of the children
and through the innocent boys and girls learn

Filipino Embroidery Attractive.

As 1t becomes more and more Diff
.ult to obtain large supplies Of French
embroidery there is greater and great
n chance Of pushing embroidery from
he Philippines. This embroidery is
:eally very attractive. It is something
ike Japanese embroidery, but Is SUI
oerior, in the opinion Of those who
know both types well. More and more
of It Is found In the good shops and,
therefore, it Is an increasingly large
feature in fashionable trousseaus and
layettes. There have been suggestions
that we might gather further inspira-
ton from these Pacific islands In the
way of models for wofnen's blouses.

Pockets to Go.

As to materials for the fall gowns

The most promising and novel developments in
the line of byproducts from wood are in the ma
ture of chemical utilization. 1t might be said that
the chemists of the forest products laboratory
have put the prod to forest products. The lumber
industry draws upon the forests for many times
much material as do all the other industries,
and only about one-third of the tree cut for lum-
Der is actually put on the market in that shape.
Right here is more than enough waste, although
not often in the right form readily available, to
supply raw material for all the other industries.
The problem now becomes one of adopting means
Of utilization to suit the conditions. Years ago
wood ashes were leached for home soapmaking,
to furnish potash. The practice disappeared. 1t
Is now being revived as source of potash to Off
set the shortage of fertilizer due to the war.
In the Red River valley of Texas the Indians
used to use Usage orange for dyeing, but that
wood never gained commercial recognition as
dyewood. Within the last year, however, we have
succeeded in getting 1t into the market as a sub
stitute for fustic, which we import from jamaica
and Tehuantepec, and more than $1,0OOOO0 worth
Of these dyes is now being made by American
manufacturers.
The forest products laboratory has just COM
pleted an analysis of the oils which can be OBJ
tanned from the needles leaves Of all the conf

species the oils obtained have very attractive
odors; other oils can be used in greases and shoe
blackings. In Europe the finer needle oils are
used as perfumes in soaps; others are used for
inhalations for lung diseases.
