This Feature in Styles Is Consid-
cred Suitable for Time
of Stress.
EGYPTIAN SKIRT is GAINING
Straight, knife-PIaited Design Wins
Increased Favor-Paris Invented
1t Because 1t Means Saving
of Material.

New York.-Probably the lack Of &C.
centricity in the spring apparel is its
distinguishing feature. This is an adj
mirable trait in time of war, but
France did not fOresee that America
would be in war when she designed the
spring clothes that have been univer-
sally accepted in this country.
Paris keeps it's wartime clothes for
Its own people, and has never failed
to send to the rest of the world fresh
batch of newly invented gowns bear
Ing all the marks of frivolity and ex-
travagance.
Many reasons have been given for
the lack of eccentricity noticeable in
the French gowns, but whatever the
cause, it is matter of satisfaction
that the condition exists. Women are
compelled to buy new raiment at each
change of season, but in time Of q ma
tional crisis they do not think it fit
ting or seemly to indulge in the pc
culiar caprices of dress which have
marked recent eras.
Other Days, Other Clothes.
1t is a common cry to say that the
existing generation is always the most
provocative of criticism. We forget
what has gone before in history, in hui
manity and in religion, as well as in
dress. There are critics who cry aloud
over certain fashion, consider it
monStrous, and wonder what our young
women and girls are coming to that
such a fashion should be unblushingly
accepted. They speak in excitable
tones of the respected dead and refer
to our grandmothers as women who in
sisted upon dressing in a seemly and
modest manner. But, just as Agnes
Repplier has forcibly and brilliantly
told of the new women among the old
women-the brilliant, insurgent char
acters that were the pioneers of our
race in America-SO some student
could tell of the extravagances, ca
prices and indecencies in dress that
swept over the generations to which
our sainted grandmothers belonged,
and which, in their time, were de-
nounced by the pulpit and the press.
This season is ushered in without
the eccentricities of those generations
or even the half-decade that has just
slipped by. One may call the narrow
skirt an eccentricity, but in it's modi-
fed form it is very attractive, and it
saves material, which is the reason
that Paris invented it.
1t is rather amusing that the wom-
en- who have organized for a national
defense and who urge economy in buy
ing clothes, call especial attention to
the pegtop or melon skirt as a garment
to be frowned upon, when this very

GEESE ON RANGE OR PASTURE
If Grass Is Plentiful Fowls Will Take
Care of Themselves During
Whole of Six Months.

Full grown geese can be turned out
on the range or pasture and if grass
Is plentiful will take care of them
selves during six months of the year.
They must have green food at all
times.
During the breeding and laying sea-
son they should be fed twice day with
cornmeal and shorts in equal parts,
slightly moistened. If their food is
made sloppy it will cause bowel trou-
BILE.
Stale bread slightly moistened with
water is an excellent food and to this
should be added ground beef scraps.

PLAN FOR OUTDOOR BROODER
Farmer, Handy With Hammer and
Nails, Can Easily Arrange Device
to Accommodate Chicks.

If your men folks are handy with
hammer and nails, they can soon make
you an outdoor brooder, writes Mrs.
E. L. Eddy in Farm Progress. We used
a pine box Is by II, and with key
hole saw cut out circle from the bot
tom of the box. In this we fitted a gal
Ion sirup bucket, turned upside down.
Punch the inverted bottom of this pail
full of holes.
Put q hinged lid on the box, COW
ering this lid with tarred paper to
keep out dampness, and nail laths on
the underside of the lid, spacing these
three inches apart. From the laths

or eight years before he offered any
for exhibition or for sale and his first
exhibit Of these novel fowls was strik-
ing. White Houdans are equally as
good in shape, size and laying quail
ties as the original notified variety,
which has won such fame as a heavy
producer of large white eggs and as u
good table fowl at the same time. The
greatest drawback to the dark variety
as table fowl has been Its dark pin
feathers. This, however, is entirely
eliminated in the new variety and this
feature alone Is sufficient to commend
the variety to the producers of table
fowls for certain markets.

log Drive of 100000 Feet Held Up
Because of Low Water.

The report comes to the White
River Junction that the big log drive
of the American Realty company
down the White River and totaling
100000 feet is held up at the head
waters of the stream because of the
record breaking low water for this
time of the year. The log driving
crew of $50 or more men is laid of
to await the coming of higher waters.
At Sharon, where are the main
booms Of the drive, all is in readiness
and once there the logs could be sent
down the remaining stretch of the
White River and into the Connecticut
without special difficulty. Ordinarily
it takes some ten days to get the
logs into the Sharon river pond and
booms from Rochester and it's terri
tory. There is no log drive down the
Connecticut this year and for this
season there will be no special need
of holding the logs at Sharon nor
elsewhere above Bellows Falls, the
destination of the logs.

Burlington.-Charles w. Gates OF
Franklin, chairman of the Committee
Of Public Safety, appointed by Gov.
ernor Graham, was the principal
speaker at a meeting here held un-
der the auspices Of the Chittenden
County Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Gates cautioned those present
against biting off more than they
could chew" or, in other words, of
attempting to cultivate more land
than could be done properly He
advised intensive and productive use
of available land but deprecated
hysterical plunging into projects
without definite knowledge of what
to plant and how to care for it.
The Governor, for the Committee,
reported widespread interest and
hearty cooperation of all organiza
tions having a finger in the agricul-
tural pie. He advised planting
beans, corn. oats, and wheat, rather
than too many potatoes, for he said
that potatoes were uncertain and
they could not be kept so well as
some other articles of food.
The Committee is working with
the Educational Department, College
Of Agriculture, and the farmers to
secure the best results.
Farmers need not fear over-pro-
duction as the markets will be much
broader and brisker. County Agent
]. w. Dana gave some figures show
Ing how the production of wheat had
decreased in Vermont during the
past "a days.
He asked farmers to test seeds be-
fore planting, thus saving much time
and money.

der which the little chicks can cuddle.
Bore six half-inch auger holes on each
side of the box for ventilation, placing
the holes two inches from the top Of
the box.
Set the box over a hole four inches
smaller in all dimensions than the box.
Pack earth around the brOoder, place
a lantern in the hole for heating pur-
poses. No draft will reach it. This
size brooder will house 60 chicks.

U. v. M. Medical College to Hold
Session in JuIy


Burlington.-In all probability the
medical department of the Univer-
sity of Vermont will hold a summer
session in order to expedite the
graduation of doctors, who will be
needed in the military service.
There is a possibility that some of
the other departments will follow
suit.
Dean H. C. Tinkham, says that the
probable plan would be to open the
summer session early in July as the
college year ends the latter part Of
June.
The regular fall WORK will be be-
gun then and in the fall the winter
term will be handled so as to hurry
up graduations. but in no way to
shorten the courses.
Some students, who are working
their way through, if they held on
to their class, would be obliged to
receive pecuniary aid, but even if
they stopped for the summer to
work they could graduate at the
schedule time.

CLOTHES LACKING
IN ECCENTRICITY

pure and simple, has few followers, but
the skirt with the kangaroo extension
at each side is admittedly the popular
success of the hour.
Against this skirt is the one called
Egyptian, which has been described by
all the fashion writer's until the women
know most that there is to know about
it. 1t is the straight, anticipated
skirt dropped from the waist or from
a shallow yoke, and is supposed to
have been worn by the fashionable AL
exandrians at the time of That's and
Aphrodite.
There is so much that is Egyptian
in the spring clothes that it should
not surprise the onlooker to see this
straight, plated skirt win cat above
all others before June arrives. Bull
loz, for instance, has met with Singh

This gown is built up of two fash
ionable materials and coors. The
skirt is barreIed by draperies of dark
blue satin, the sleeves, collar and sash
are of satin. The bscut-colored jer-
sey is embroidered in dark blue.
garment was invented by Paris to save
material and thereby lower the price
that a French woman has to pay for
her skirt.
Naturally, the French designers did
not charge the Americans any less for
a pegtOp skirt than full one, nor will
the American dressmakers make any
difference in prices because of the
scarcity of material used; but the
thousands upon thousands of women
who buy material for their own gowns
will see the advantage In dropping the
extra-full skirt and adopting the slim
line of the new silhouette.
The Straight Silhouette.
Already the exclusive dressmakers
are insisting that the pegtop skirt, or
the drapery that is pulled out at the
hips, is mediocre. The first fashion,
they insist, calls for Il straight silhou-
cite from shoulder to heels without the
break given.by the pannler effect at

Shelburne Man a Veritable Weston
Shelburne-There are probably
few men in Vermont today who
possess the physical ability or ex-
hibit the loyalty to home and to
state to perform what is now the
daily task of Robert B. Currier of
Sherburne, who, in order to fulfill
his duties as juror in Rutland Coun-
ty Court, to be at home every night
and to attend to his stock walks %
miles daily.
The shortest route from Mr.. Cur
rier's home to this city is II miles
and this means going "cross lots"
part of the way, yet he walks to
Rutland every morning and after at
tending the regular sessions OF
court goes home afoot at night to
do his chores"

Egyptian Touch in Wraps.

| AuOlHeF LSypIlaQ tOuCn IN cOStum-
| cry is shown in the evening wraps for
spring, which are quite luxurious but
| light in weight and texture. Taffeta
is used for this garment more than for
any other. The wide, draped collar
which rises above the ears and folds
itself down on the shoulders is the
preferred one, and it is used for street
wraps as well as evening ones.
None Of this is Egyptian, but the
touch of Cairo is seen in a great
square of bullion-embroidered silk
which is placed fatty against the back
of the wrap. On some garments it
looks as though brilliant ornate cush-
ion cover had been picked up and
neatly tackled at each of its corners to
the loose back of the taffeta wrap.
The Egyptian Phoenix wing, which
was decoratively used at one of the
fashion exhibitions in New York, sup
plies color for much of the new cos
tumery. The blue, green and coral of
this symbolic bit of Egyptian life is
copied in gowns, and especially in jew
elry.
With all this atmosphere of the
East, Of Cairo and Alexandria reflected
in the clothes of the hour, it seems
probable that the straight, plated skirt
that hangs plumb from the waistline
will outlive the one with the side
drapery at the hips. But even if both
remain equal in value and fashion, one
thing is certain-that there is no
chance for the skirt with the wide hem.
Since January, skirts have lessened in
width below the knees, and although
the public refused to believe that the
wide, flaring, umbrella skirt belonged
to day that was done, the dressmak-
ers have insisted upon it's use.
In Paris they diminished the width
of skirts gradually, but over here the
change appeared to come overnight,
although the prophets and experts had
been insisting upon this revolution for
three months. The trouble with the
public is that it will rarely believe
what 1t reads, but relies on what it
sees. This is good, sound wisdom, but
1t often keeps a woman from being pre-
pared for change when it comes.
The shops have the canny business
Instinct to supply the old with the
new as long as they've got both on
hand, but it is the duty of the reporter
