just where the reform, as the critics of
French clothes call 1t, should start
Paris has depended on its well dressed
women to lead the way in clothes for
three centuries. America has depend
ed on its shops and dressmakers over
here to lead the way with French
models. There is a vast gulf Of differ
ence between the two procedures.
When any one perSistently inquiries
about the lack of striking originality
in the French models since the war or.
rather. the lack of a dominant style,
those on the inside of Paris life answer
that 1t is because the French women are
not guiding the fashions. 1t is not the
Paris designers who fix and establish d
fashion; it is the French women.
Now, in the light of this history of
clothes, If the American woman takes
unto herself the task of leading the
way in new combinations. new silhou-
cites and new colors she is bound to
have following among the dress
makers and designers. Our feminine
figures of prominence in society, on the
stage and in the world of sports. could
easily create a leading fashion in this
country which would be followed by
women all over the continent. If they

vantage of it, Will see the dawninE

waited for it as we have waited for the
great American novel. for century,
and the attitude of certain segmentS of
smart women this summer is the first
glimmer of hope that We have concern

country.

There Is no doubt of the fact that
women who are experts in the art of
dressing and choosing clothes have done

Mexicans. which Is found chiefly along the southern boundary, is much thinner than is generally supposed.
 The state is one of clubs and organ lzations, and all of these are now up and doing along the lines of prepared- ness. Take the food situation. The gov ernment will be helped immensely by the organizations for better farming created by the state and the national govern ment. One of these Is the Texas in dustr1al congress, which has for a num- Der of years given prizes of Sl0Ooo m gold to the individuals who raise the Ia argest amount of certain kinds of crops under approved directions. This congress keeps track of the demonstration farms and 1t has done a. great deal to improve farming methods. The contestants are numbered by thousands. and they have more than doubled the yield of their individual crops.
 The national government Is carrying on a large demonstration farm work in Texas. There are agents in nearly every one of the agricultural counties. and there are experimental farms under the Agri- cultural and Mechanical college. There are thousands of boys in the corn clubs and the cotton clubs, and they are now establishing kaffir corn clubs and peanut clubs and clubs for the raising of pigs and pure-bred beef cattle.
 There are many women's organizations which will work together for the war The towns and cities are filled with clubs They number hundreds, and they have thousands of members. The Fed eration of Women's Clubs in Texas Is twenty years old. It has done great work in the establishment of libraries and along the lines of women's education. There is a considerable woman suffrage element, and Womans Temperance Union. whose motto is Texas Dry" All the cities have mothers clubs. which pay especial attention to the schools and keep close to the individual teachers. The state is well up in Red Cross work. It has many thousand women who are now knitting and sewing for the soldiers, and the girls garden and canning clubs will add materially to our food supply this year Altogether the women may be re- lied upon to do their full share of the work. The same is true of the men, and the state as whole may be considered one of the biggest items in the assets which make up Uncle Sams. war balance sheet

fenced and the stock farmer is taking the place of the cow-man. The value of the stock Is increasing and a great number of finely bred animals are be- ing imported. Texas now has large herds of Shorthorns and Herefords, and it is also bringing in the big bumped bulls of India to better the stock. The farmers are putting up silos. They have live stock associa- tons and they are largely increasing the meat supply.
 big dairy industry is growing up. The state has more than a million milch cows It have over a hundred creameries and it is now producing something like 65,000,0oO pounds of butter year. Of this the greater part Is used at home. and the state lm- ports about 35,000,000 pounds of but ter as well. With the conservation of foodstuffs and the development of in dustry now going on these imports should be cut off, for the butter can be raised here at home.
 We are now having a famine in wool Texas has 2,O0o,00o sheep and she pro duces wool in POT different counties. She has almost 100000 goats, and among them many Angoras. Her pro- duction of mohair is 100000 pounds per annum, and it is valued at a half million dollars.
 Another important live stock asset just at this time is horses and mules The state has already shipped vast numbers to Europe and it still has hundreds of thousands to spare. It Is the leading mule state of the union, having twice as many as Missouri which once held the first rank
 The Texas mule brings about s2 more a head than the Missouri mule It Is especially desirable as a trans port animal In war and 1t will do its duty in Europe. We used thousands of mules in the Philippines during the Spanish war. remember taking a tri,, around the islands on a mule trans port which landed supplies at the diff ferent camps. The animals were slung out from the decks and dropped into the water and they swam ashore They were easily acclimated. and were har- messed al once. They frightened the Filipfnos. who had never seen such large animals before
