PEASANT LACE is ADOPTED
Paris Designers Go to Roumania for
Heavy Colored Trimming Used E:s-
tensiveIy in That Country.

It ,mny be that the incoming of lace
as q powerful fashion for the summer
may not bring forth the best of results
In costumery. What woman owns
in the way of fine lace she will not cut
and reshape except under the lash of
conviction that she can do nothing less
If she is to make use of her possession,
observes fashion authority.
A few of the French designers have
gone to Roumania for the heavy string
colored lace used by the peasantry,
and have built tunic frocks of II,
mounting 1t on slips of bright-colored
satin or silk. One tunic that reaches
nearly to the ankles is girdled tritie
below the waist, and again above it,
with rolled snshes of blue silk, and
there is a foundation of this silk to
give color through the wide meshes of
the coarsely woven lace.
Although the finer laces, such az
point. Venetian, Bruges, d'Alencon, and
their sisters, are used on the hand
somer gowns, there is return to q
design that is conspicuously open and
appears to be a more artistic sprawl
ing Of threads finely knotted together.

ROADS VS..
PERMANENT ROADS

! have heard considerable discussion
lately concerning the policy of our
State Highway commission II con-
s,ructing the kind of roads it ras lie
oided upon, and it is often argued that
the only type of road is the so-ealic'l
permanent road, the one that needs no
maintenance
If one will take a pencil and do
little figuring, he can easily convince
himself that the policy of the State
Highway commission is the correct one.
Let us consider first of all the expen-
sive type of road construction, such rs
concrete, or the best grades of macad-
am. This type of road will cost ap-
proximately $4,000 per mile and let us
suppose that the cost of construction
is met by issuing 20-year Az per cent
bonds. The annual expense on account
of the first cost would be about $3.50
per mile. And these roads will need
some maintenance, possibly not much
over $50 per mile per year. This
brings the total cost up to about $3.50
annually per mile for the expensive or
so-called permanent type of road.
Now take a Nell constructed gravel
road and the cost for this road will
run about $4,000 per mile for construc-
tion, figuring again on basis of 90
year Az per cent bonds and the annual
account for the first cost will be about
$40 per mile. The cose for maintain
ing these roads if properly done, runs
up pretty high and it can be well done
with an expenditure of about $24O per
mile per year ..
This makes total annual cost then
for the surfaced road of approximately
$3.50 annually per mile. A comparison
of these two annual costs shows $3.50
per mile per year in favor of the
cheaper roads.-E. B. House, State Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins.

sulrs MADE OF RIBBONS
No Other Materials Used In Sport ces-
tune and PaJamas, Which Are
Novelty Of Season.

Ribbons have taken unto themselves
much responsibility this season. One
finds them gayly joining forces in
sports suits, separate skirts, hats, bags
and even so audacious as to attempt a
pajama suit in which brocaded lin
gerie ribbon is employed. -u-
Made entirely of bayadere ribbon
about four inches wide new sports
suit has the Russian blouse Of red and
white striped ribbon, with a plated
skirt made Of white ribbon intersect-
ed with the striped. The hat has. the
upper portion made Of the striped rib
bon with the facing Of silk straw, and
the bag is fashioned entirely Of the
striped effect.
A pajama suit is made of light blue
brocaded lingerie ribbon about two
inches wide, Joined together to the
slipover blouse with deep border of
lavender ribbon of the same variety
that is fagoted together. The sleeves
are of the short kimono type, also with
the border and adding touch Of in
terest is the Boshanara girdle. This is
square in effect, made of so yards of
very narrow double-faced ribbon n
this instance in light blue and laven-
der and is formed by the clever wind
ing in and out of the ribbon to show
one row of blue and the other of the
contrasting color alternately.

WATCH THE PIGS

Outbreaks of necrobacillosis, a dis
ease affecting pigs, are likely to occur
in summer in insanitary pigpens. One
form of the disease, commonly known
as ''sniffles,' and another developing
symptoms somewhat akin to hog chol-
era are the commonest expressions cf
this ailment which has many forms. In
circular recently issued by the Bu.
reau of Animal Industry OF the United
States department of agriculture these
two forms, known as necrotic rhinit;s
and necrotic enteritis, are described
remedial and preventive measures given.
Necrotic Rhinitis-The form known
as necrotic rhinitis may be recognized,
the circular states, by Jumps OF swell
lings which appear on some part of the
head or face of the pig, usually on the
snout. Pigs so affected eat but little
as rule, and sneeze repeatedly, OFTEN
expelling a bloody material. Treat
ment for this form has to be appiied
in the early stage. 1t consists in open
ing the swelling, removing the pus, ami
applying in the opening made, with
syringe, either of these remedies:
Glycerine Is parts, carboic acid part
or nitric acid / part and water parts;
or so per cent solution of iodine. If
the swelling has become extensive,
treatment is of little value and the de-
struction of the animal is recommended.
Necrotic Entreitis-Pigs affected with
the second form of the disease, Iecrotic
enteritis show a lack of appetite. be-
come unthrifty, emaciated, and "eak.
The absence of red spots on the t"llies
and the normal or at times suluormal
temperature of the animals # rem
tiate this ailment from cholera With
this form, as in the first, the '","rdy
must be used before the diseaso has
and intestinal antiseptics. as d. led
in the circular, form the treatmcu' rec.
commended.
Preventive Measures-Freque ,nd
thorough cleaning out of pens, his,
feeding floors, sheds and hog lo' "ay
prevent this ailment of pigs. A al
quantity of lime should be apr in
pens, houses, and adjoining lots. ngs,
shoats and older hogs should ""' bn
allowed to feed from the ground Hrit-
able feeding floors, preferably of con-
crete, and troughs of some non'hsorh-
ent material that can be cleaned ont,

standing feature is the organization of
insurance for every fighting man in
the service at $500 per year per thous.
and up to $4,000.
This will cost the government $685.

SWEET CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER

The most of our western lands have
been produced under arid or semi-arii
conditions. Consequently, most of them
are low in organic matter vegetable
matter), These same soils are usually
rich in mineral matter. In order to
get the highest productivity out OF
such lands it is necessary to use ma
nures which will supply vegetable mat
ter to the soil. There are two ways of
accomplishing this object. One is to
use stable manures. But no farm,
aside from few of the heavy stock
feeding farms, produces sufficient ma
nure on its own area to supply the
vegetable matter necessary for tn"
farm. Consequently it is necessary to
grow some early crop occasionally which
may be plowed under, thus supplying
the vegetable matter.
Of the crops available for Colorado
agriculture, sweet clover is one of the
best for this purpose. 1t will give
quicker returns than almost any other
crop which may be sown to plow under
as fertilizer. Sweet clover will mel
low up heavy adobe or clay lands to a
greater extent than any other crop
available to our agriculture. For a
green manure crop, to get quick fer
tilizer value, we have no crop superior
to sweet clover.

JUMPS PRECIPICE NEAR ASPEN

. Aspen, Aug. 14.-Sunday morning
"Jack" Brunton and T. A. CASTILLO,
with the latter at the wheel of his
large sevenFassenger Marmon touring
car, were driving into town from the
Glendale stock farm
The car was being driven at pretty
good clip and as CASTILLO attempted to
turn the sharT curve leading down the
steep Dwyer hill, the right front wheel
of the car left the road and for 80 feet
or more Driver CASTILLO succeeded in
holding his car on the road, when the
left front wheel struck pile Of rock
and the huge machine somersaulted
over the embankment to the little val
ley some 800 feet below.
Both young men were in the car as
it took its first somersault, when Cas-
tello succeeded in getting out, or was
thrown out, he doesn't know which,
but Jack Brunton did not get out or
was not thrown out until the machine
had made its second somersault Meth
er of the young men really know how
they succeeded in getting out Suffice
it TO say that both escaped with hut
few scratches and bruises That this
is so is a miracle, one of those which
cannot be accounted for, except by the
hand of Divine Providence.
The machine continued on its down
ward plunges another 200 feet, after
disgorging its passengers, turning over
and over, until it finally landed on its
wheels, total wreck.
T. A. CASTILLO and his father, J. H

Glenwood Springs Saturday morning
and intended to return to the Spa yes

FEED COWS LEaUME HAY

Keep all your good dairy cows. he
country needs them and they can be
kept at profit, says the United States
department of agriculture. The present
high prices of grain has encouraged
practical feeders to look for cheaper
feeds. They have found that legume
hay and corn silage can be substituted
in part for expensive concentrates.
In cooperation with the extension
department of Purdue University the
United States department of agricul-
ture last year made an Investigation
of the cost of producing milk in l6
dairy herds in Porter county, Ind. In
that study it was found that when
other conditions were the same the
dairymen who fed the largest quantity
of clover, alfalfa, and other leguma
hays used 3s per cent less grain with
out lessening the production Of their
cows. That is, the dairymen who fed
legume hay obtained as much milk
from SO pounds of grain as the Others
obtained from 100 pounds of grain.
Such . saving is certainly worth while.
Patriotism demands increased produc-
tion; the high cost Of f'living demands
economical production; both those de.
mands are met when all our good cows
are kept, and when their milk flow IL
maintained at low cost. 80.

GERMAN FLEET PLANS
DASH ON UNITED STATES

Washington, Aug l2.-Reports have
reached naval circles here that the
German high seas fleet has formed a
plan whereby it may seek to elude the
British Gordon and strike with its max
imum powed in American waters. Ad-
miral Sims, commanding the American
miral Sir John Jellicoe, first sea lord
and chief of the British naval staff,
has issued what some naval authorities
here regard as a warning to the United
States to be on its guard from now on
against such contingency.
Admiral Jellicoe says the Germans
want to spring their naval offensive at
time when the British grand fleet,
they believe, may be off its guard OF
when, "at moment, owing to the alb
sence of ships undergoing refits or re-
pairs, the odds are little, if any, against
them.'
Admiral Sims regards the possibility
as by no means remote, especially now
that the German boasts of her submar-
inc predictions being fulfilled. AS n
last desperate resort, the sortie of Ire
German fleet is looked upon as almost
certainty.
The idea Of an open clash with the
British grand fleet has not appealed 10
the German authorities.
