ceived by those who wanted to dress
well, SO much for the talk. Now for
the facts.
New Colon in Foulard.
The first fouIards were in blue and
white, the usual combination. The coin
dot was larger than we were accus-
toned to seeing and the absence OF the
famous little figured design was met
with approval. A decade ago, when the
manufacturers did not get very good
dyes i'll foulard and tradition still held
their looms to working out the printed
flower and vine. people wore the silk,
but did not consider it especially attrac-
tive.
Today, both manufacturers and dyers
have done their best, and the only oh.
lection that one has Ia a foulard frock
is the fact that it is repeated on one
out of every dozen persons one meets.
The first evidence that the large coin
dot was especially attractive to dress
makers, was when gowns of this mate
rial from the French blouses were draped
with organdy Then, newer ones were
draped with wolfe and chiffon.
After a while, foulards began to come
into the markets which were more cx
pensive than the ordinary weave with
the white coin dot. As a substitute for
the vine and fig leaf Of other decades,
there was the large, floral pattern taken
from sumptuous brocades and new
lowered chiffons.
Yelled With Wolfe.
Nine. Jenny gets the credit Of intro
ducing the combination OF white or
CANDY and blue and white foulard. This
model did not meet with as much sue
cess in March rs it did in June. Those
who did not accept il in its entirely
built up an adapted gown which was
quite successful. There was a knife
pleated skirt of blue foulard, with loose.
Russian blouse of white organdy,
belted, collared and cuffed with the
foulard, This is still considered one OF
the attractive frocks Of the season.
The majority of women, however, pre-
fer yelling a foulard irock with dark
blue wolfe, This deadens the design and
'llhNls VIC s'diilk WNllV wv vague anu
mist-like. The combination OF wolfe and
foulard is kept for informal hours, but
the dressmakers now see a way in which
fuulard cen be made to serve for the
afternoon. This is done BY draping Ii
in combination with cream chiffon,
using a weave OF silk that is dyed in
unusual colors.
The sketch shows such a frock. The
foulard is in broad stripes of cream
and old rose, The skirt is made Of a
separate piece OF the material, with a
coin dot border, and the sewage is al
lowed to drop at each side in order 10
show a panel of the cream chiffon skirt.
There are loose sleeves Of the chiffoh, a
panel OF the foulard at the back and
the front OF the bodice, and a deep col
lar of the much sought after Van Dyke
lace.
This idea Of using a long, straight
piece Of material for the skirt has me,
with approval 1t is especially liked BY
amateurs. II is adopted for capes as
well as skirts, and some OF the people
who like Lanvin's things, are making
bodices from straight pieces OF material
caught at the shoulders and again at
the elbows.

PROPER GROWTH OF CALVES
PuzzIIng Question to Gray Heads In
Calf Buslness-Much Depends
on Ration Furnished.

How fast should my calves grown
Is a puzzling question even to gray
heads in the calf-raising business. This
will depend to a large extent on the
kind of ration fed, but in order for any
ration to be considered a definite sue
cess the calves should show gain of
ut least a pound day each day for
the first six months. Many ordinary
dairymen are getting pound and a
half gain daily.
In height these same calves should
increase from one and one-half to two
inches per month for the first half year.
The height and weight have definite
relation for average sized calves dur
ing this first period. After six months
this relation gradually changes and the
weight outstrips the height. AT one
month of age normal calf Of any
breed weighs, approximately three
pounds for each inch in height, but at
the end Of the six months period the
weight has increased to six and one
half pounds for each inch In height.
From that time on there is continued
widening In the relation Of weight to
height until maturity.

State Bean Growers Are Hopeful.

The bean situation In Michigan Is
encouraging, said James N. Mcbride,
state director of markets, on his re-
turn from Washington, where he went
to intercede with the federal food ad-
ministrator to give Michigan bean
growers a chance.
Mr.. Mcbride came back with the in
formation that due consideration OF
the cost of growing beans would be
given in the future. The prices which
the government fixed for beans for the
army and navy would mean Sc beans
to Michigan growers, and Mr.. Mcbride
believes that 1t is imperative that a
representative of Michigan growers be
at Washington for the next 60 days at
least.
The reason for this, according to
Mcbride, is that two cargoes OF block
tin have been sunk by submarines and
as a precautionary measure until the
can situation is known. the United
States has forbidden the canning. Of
dry peas and will license Gamers to
protect the canning of dry beans first
for government use and secondly for
general trade. This would enable
Michigan's frosted stock to be market
ed and canned ahead of imported
beans.
Mr.. Mcbride adds that there Is loyal
cooperation among bean buyers Of
Michigan to maintain price that will
compensate the growers and secure Q
large acreage for 1918.

MORE MULCHING IN GARDENS
Roots Of All Plants That Lie Just Un-
der Surface Suffer From Freezing
and Thawing.

It would be greatly to our advan-
tage to do more mulching in our gar
dens and about our shrubs and fruit
trees. Roots Of all plants that lie just
under the surface suffer from the al
ternating freeze and thaw of our bro
ken winters. The soil lifts as 1t thaws;
consequently there is displacement
Of the roots. Their close contact with
the soil is broken and their delicate
root connections are often strained
apart. Even our harder plants would
make more steady growth for mulch
ing.
Careless mulching, however, may
prove an injury rather than benefit.
If applied before the ground has fro
zen about bulbs and fleshy roots 1t
offers shelter to the burrows Of field
mice and invites them to a good feed
supply as well. If applied after the
ground freezes 1t insures cold storage
for the root system until time for a
safe start In the spring, as 1t retards
the thawing Of the frozen soil.

Camp Waste Branded Az Lie.

The quartermaster Of Camp Custer,
Major nj. M. Garrett brands as German
propaganda the story that large piles
of waste lumber have been burned at
Camp Custer.
officers say German sympathizers
are carrying on a campaign of lies con-
corning conditions at the camp, to
weaken the morale of the citizens of
Michigan.
Major Garrett explains that during
operations. as precaution against fire
risk, all waste material was taken from
the buildings and placed in huge piles.
A small portion of this waste was used
for garbage incarceration. The rest is
still on the grounds, and is now being
carefully sorted. Some will be used
for new buildings, some for fences for
the corrals, and some for sheeting Of
trenches and underground work used
by the soldiers. The remainder will
be cut up for kindling wood for the
barracks kitchens. The camp gym,
which has been ordered, will be built
with lumber salvaged from this waste
pile.
A companion story is the one about
the food waste at Camp Custer which
Major Garrett also declared to be- a
German lie, put out with the sole in
tent of breaking down the morale Of
the American people.
