WOULD MAKE PREACHER FARM
Each Should Be Given Small Tract to
Till to Increase His Income,
Minister Declares.

That every minister throughout the
country, particularly in rural districts,
should be made to become tiller Of
the soil in addition to his spiritual du-
ties, Is the belief of the Rev. John ].
Neighbor, rector of st. James Episco-
pal church at Bradley Beach, N. ]. He
emphatically advocated the project in
q recent sermon, the Brooklyn Eagle
states.
The Rev. Mr.. Neighbor expressed the
opinion that every student for the min
istry should be required to take a
course in an agricultural college as
part Of his training for the pulpit. Then
each parish should set apart GER
tain amount Of land for the minister to
till, the proceeds of which would go to
help pay his salary and incidentally
increase his income. The preacher
said:
"Such a plan would be beneficial to
both the parish and it's rector. 1t
would give him the means of solving
a large part of the financial difficulty
that often hampers him in his work
and make him more independent and
efficient. Certain hours in the day,
or so many hours week, should be
set apart and prescribed as time for
his agricultural duties. This would
benefit him physically as well rs aiding
him to make both ends meet"

JERSEY HAS MADE GREAT PROGRESS

weave which has an unfinished, inele-
CANT appearance.
One has a feeling that the exigen-
cies of war have made women get
hold of all the mems undershirts they
could find, dip them in the dye pot, put
belt around them and use them with
plated skirt.
The one feeling of Encouragement
that the American importers have had
about the abundance of jersey cloth
clothes was caused by the sad tones
which the buyers have chosen. An al
most unlimited range of gray and
beige predominates.
Not one of these colors is especial
ly attractive on the American wom-
an. 1t takes a peculiarly toned bru-
nette to wear string, mastic, cafe au
lait, beige and the biscuit tones, and
1t takes peculiarly toned blonde to
wear gray in its several light shades
that have neither blue nor mauve In
them.
However, the French designers have
got around this by using collars,
belts, cuffs and facings of black, dark
blue and white on these gray and
beige jersey costumes.
1t may be due to some inability to
dye this new type of jersey that the
sad colors are chosen, or it may be
that the manufacturers of materials
in France prefer to use the gray and
beige in these everyday suits and keep
the gorgeous colors for evening and
afternoon frocks.
Have Long Tunic Coats.
The majority of the jersey suits, and
they may be called frocks as well,
have long, tunic coats that reach to
the knees and must be slipped on
over the head through the opening at
the neck. These coats are as shape
less as the costumery Of the tenth
century, and they depend entirely upon
the glrdle for silhouette of any grace
or distinction.
One of the best of lie jersey frocks,
which was instantly snapped up by
the American woman, is a combination
of black and cafe au lait. The top of
the skirt is of the latter color and is
slightly held in at the waistline so
that 1t will not stretch in an ungainly
manner across the hips and spine. 1t
| Is cut off across the hips in q sharp
| line that turns and outlines panel in
the back. The lower half of the skirt
is of black jersey, Joined to the top
in such q manner that it gives slight
barrel effect and then curves in to the
ankles and falls In an irregular line
at the hem, which is the prevailing
note of the really smart frock. The
slim bodice cllngs to the figure like the

Attractive to the Ameri-

The history, Of jersey cloth could
not be written in one chapter. Its in
PRODUCTION was not taken seriously, but
Its persistence has caused it to be re-
garded with Importance.
1t Is quite useless to attempt to de-
scribe the spring fashions without
starting from jersey, incorporating it
In the middle and ending up with It.
1t has ceased to be novelty. 1t has
become standard fabric. 1t is so
strongly, and disagreeably, like GER

one feels partially undressed when
wearing 1t. Its slender surface,
which tantalized the economical wom-

relegated to the limbo of things that
were.
The weave that does not indicate
