Enormous growth in the cement in

In the manufacture of cement there

the fumes is carried by the wind and
settles in destructive sediment on all
vegetation, buildings, and objects in
the neighborhood Of the smelters. Now
an invention made by DR.. F. G. Cott-
rell of the United States bureau of
mines precipitates the dust from the
smelters and enables the saving of the
potash contained in it.

little headroom, but the excessive
height is necessary in order that the
attendant may work in comfort within
the building.
Sunlight is just as important in a
poultry house as it is in human hab-
itation. Sunlight means health when
other conditions are favorable. At the
same time, hothouse conditions must
be carefully guarded against. If
poultry house has too much glass in
its walls, it will be too warm in the
daytime, when the sun shines hot and
the radiation of heat at night will be
so rapid as to make the daily range Of
temperature too great for best condi-
tiOns.
Ventilation is just as important as
sunlight. Poultry, to do well, must
have fresh air in abundance. How
ever, the ventilating system must elm
mate. strong drafts. Panels of thin
cloth in the front wall of the building
seem to serve the purpose best.
In addition to the poultry house, a
good yard must be provided. There
are weeks at time, during the win
ter, when the poultry must be closely
confined within the house. However,
as soon as the weather will permit,
the fowls should be given several hours
each day in a dry, clean yard. The

FOR HOME WORKER
Attractive Hats May Be Made by
the Amateur.
Bead and Jet Ornaments in Wide Va
riety, Are Being Used by Millin-
ers This Season.

Two charming hats, either of which
might be fashioned by the home mil
liner, are illustrated here. The larger
of the two hats has a brim of velvet
and crown Of soft felt embroidered in
chenille in contrasting colors. The brim
might be of black or dark brown and
the crown a gray or soft tan, with
flame-colored chenille for the necessary
color contrast.
The smaller hat, made of black or
navy blue velvet, is an excellent model
to select for wear with one of the serge
or gaberdine street dresses so fashion
able now. The soft crown is surround
ed by a rolled brim which is covered
over with jet nail heads.
Nail heads were extensively used as
millinery and dress trimming several
years ago, and they have never been
entirely relegated to oblivion, especial
ly In millinery. Practically every sea-
son some ingenious milliner develops
few models with nail head trimming,
and for the fall and winter of 1918
they are generously exploited.
Bead and Jet ornaments in a wide
variety are being used this season, and
applique embroidery is also a millinery
feature.

der is shown made up in velvet anG

BY WILLIAM A, RAD, ,-ORD,

Success in raising poultry requires
more than pure-bred or scientifically
cross-bred stock. The poultry house
is of equal Importance. 1t must be
right in design and it must be prop
erly located. The poultry house eff
fects the success in raising poultry in
two ways: 1t has a direct effect in
providing protection for the fowls and
giving them every advantage which
makes for good health and maximum
laying capacity; it has an indirect eff
feet in placing the fowls under the con-
troll of the farmer, who is able to give
them the attention which they require
If the best results are to be obtained.
Without regard for the size or shape
of the poultry house, there are two
rules which should be followed: One
OF these is that the building should
face the south or southeast. The other
is that the north and northwest walls
of the building should be carefully in
sulated against the wind. 1t is neither
necessary or desirable that windows be
| placed in these walls. Generally
speaking, poultry houses are built toe
high. Domestic poultry requires very

little weight on the henhoh,e ICoF
that the ordinary solid concrete con-
struction is not necessary. The foun-
dation walls extend up Is inches above
grade and about Is inches above the
floor
The studding are connected with
the top of the concrete wall by using
sockets which are set in the concrete.
After the inside wall board and the
outside drop siding have been carried
up the studs a short distance, about
one inch of fresh cement mortar Is
placed in each of the spaces between
studs and worked into the corners
thoroughly, to prevent cracks through
which the wind can blow and to seal
the walls against poultry insects.
Above the sills, the walls and roof are
sealed both outside and inside and a
layer of building paper is placed
against the studs under both the wall
board and the siding and against the
rafters under both the wall board and
the sheathing. The object is to make
q dead-air space surrounding the in
closed space so that the temperature
of the interior will be held as even
as possible.
To facilitate ventilation and to get
the benefit of the sunlight, the roof is
given a long slope at the back and
short dip in front, as is clearly shown
in the perspective view. This also
gives headroom for the attendant in
the front part with a low roof at the
back, which is appreciated in the win
| ter time when there is not much heat
from the sun. The front intake ven
| tilators consist of window openings
covered with very thin cotton. Cheese,
cloth is recommended as being thin
enough to admit both air and light yet
it is thick enough to prevent draft.
The inside of the house is divided
into two rooms; the larger room is
the general scratching shed and the
smaller one is the nesting room. Botf
rooms are supplied with removable
hen furniture, so that everything in
side of the walls may be lifted off an6
carried out-of-doors for cleaning. Lie
and mites are so troublesome in poul
try ho6ses that facilities for keeping
the place clean are absolutely neces
sary.
1t is for this reason, also, that the in
side of the poultry house is lined witt
wall board, which Is cemented at tn
joints and the whole surface painte'
carefully with three coats of thil
paint, thoroughly rubbed in to fill e1

HIGH HATS IN GREAT FAVOR
One Shows Around the Crown swath
Of Silk With Black Velvet Discs,
Tied In Bow at Back.

The high crowned hat Is in special
favor just now and one worth noting
shows round the crown a swath of silk
with black velvet discs; tied in a
saucy bow at the back. In front is an
original and artistic looking buckle Of
dull oxidized silver enameled in black
and a peculiarly vivid shade of tur-
quoise blue-the blue at a distance
can hardly be distinguished from the
corresponding shade of green.
With this hat the young matron who
owns 1t wears ruffle of the fichu per-
suasion, and eminently picturesque in
type. This, though very full and wide
at the back, tapers to almost vanish
ing point in front. 1t is of white rain
proof tulle, because apart from its
weather resisting properties, this par
ticular kind Of tulle stands out and
has q flrmness to which other varic-
ties do not aspire. Every frill is edged
with a narrow film of black lace, the
whole being en- inexpressibly dainty

AND NOW THE PETTIBOCKER
Women Who Dance, Skate or En-
gage in Active Work.

A new undergarment Of silk jersey,
designed for women who skate, dance
or do active war work, has been
named the Pettibocker and combines
the features Of both petticoat and
knickerbockers.
The bloomers are gathered on an
elastic at the waist, cut extra full, and
with cuffs also gathered OF elastic
bands. They are long enough to reach
below the calf of the leg, but should
be worn directly below the knee.
Several inches above the cuff Of
each leg a flounce is attached, slightly
gathered, but so put on as not to in
terfere with the width of the bloom
ers at that point.
The flounces are designed to reach
the hem of the outer skirt and elimi-
late the necessity Of petticoat, even
when the outer garment is of sheer
materials. AS the f1ounces are at
tached above the elastics, they will be
pulled up just as the outer skirt is
pulled up when the wearer is sitting,
instead of showing beneath as did the
founces of the old "tango garters."

COLLARS AND CUFFS ALIKE
Innovation Due to the Recent Vogue
for Plain Tailored Serge and
Satin Frocks.

1t is worthy Of note that all the
newest models in collars are accom-
panied by cuffs. This is due to the re-
cent vogue for plain tailored serge and
satin frocks, which are to be so smart
for street wear this fall, and which
require no other trimming than the
relief afforded by the white or con-
trasting tones of neckwear. Lovely
little collars cut narrow in the back
and in deep points in the front are
finished with three rows of tiny ruffies
edged with picot; these are accom-
panied by deep cuffs showing the same
trimming.
Most of the collars shown are de-
velOped in sheer organdie, with double
hand hemstitching, hand embroidery
and very narrow frills of valenciennes
lace. A great many of them are fin
ished with black crepe de chine ties
or small taffeta tailored bows.
Filet lace is extensively used in col
lars for separate blouses, especially in
the high necked models.

LACE AGAIN IS IN FASHION
Need Of Helping the Workers OF
France and Belgium Caused
Revival of Mode.

Real lace is again in fashion. The
need of helping the lace workers of
France and Belgium started this mode.
Women of wealth and position in
France used their influence by spon-
soring in war relief sales of old and
new laces. Grande couturiers lent
their aid by using a great deal Of YER
table lace in their new creations.
AS result many lovely gowns and
blouses are shown made or trimmed
with lace. Among the kinds noted are
Bruges, princess, applique, the Spanish
bobbin laces, thread lace and f1let, with
some guipure and valenciennes.
Mounted over filmy foundations or
Innings of flesh or white chiffon or net,
sometimes in several tints and layers,

that could be thought Of in woman's
attire.

He says: ''They can take a rib from
a man and use it to replace crushed
bone in his arm. Patients who in
earlier times would have been eonsid-
cred permanently disabled are now
fixed up in a few weeks so that they
can go back to the front In a single

Oyster Cheap Food,

Only the sea herring can equal the
oyster in cash value as a product of
the sea. This is partly because they
are so palatable and partly because
they are so inexpensive. A pint can
usually be purchased for 20 cents on
the coasts and a nourishing stew for
several persons can be made of a pint
of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean
produces more oysters than are to be
found in the oyster beds of all other
countries, but oyster farming is a
profitable industry in many lands. The
mid-Atlantic coast is particularly noted
for it's oysters.
