IDAHO AND JAPAN.

DAHO has gotten into the international limelight be-
cause of the anaen tendencies of the Idaho legisla
tre aimed especially at the Japanese people. There
is said to be danger japanese acquiring property in this
state The legislature think quite properly desires to
prevent it.
The question be considered at this time is whether
the issue is of pressing paramount nature. If
there is no imminent danger Of Japan getting possession
of large slices of the state should say there
casion for drastic action at time when Japans protest
would add the already serious international complica-
tons confronting the Washington administration.
Putting it another way this state should not be unduly
scared into placing the United States in awkward po
sition at most inopportune time.

it has been kept quiet The suggestion is unacceptable,

The French Silhouette.
A few of the American clothes
which were designed before the
French silhouette was thoroughly ac-
cepted, have taken their place a lit
tie behind the front row of fashions
because they look bunglesome. Here
Is the French silhouette as the best
dressed Americans have adopted 1t:
A slim underskirt made in one piece
that runs from the collarbone nearly
to the ankle in street frOck, ana
from bust to within six inches of the
ankle in an evening gown. 1t Is mere
ly the skeleton Of the gown, but on
it are draped the few remaining
yards of fabric that are allowed to
complete the work.
Therefore, it is quite fashionable to
use transparent material for the al
ternoon and evening, in order to
slow the slim little slip beneath. 1t
is not necessary that the transparent
fabric used over this slip should be
| cut off to correspond. 1t may rise

RIGHT DUST BATH MATERIAL
Road Dust Has No Particular Advan.
tage Over Any Dry Earth-Light
Sand Is Favored.

The supplying of material for dust
bath during the winter months must
not be overlooked. While road dust Is
all right if gathered where there is
but little filth, it has no advantage
over any dry earth for this purpose.
There is probably nothing better than
light sand, which if gathered when
thoroughly dry or dried by the fire,
can be stored under cover and can be
handled any time during the winter,
when a fresh supply is needed. If a
dust bath can be placed where the
sun will shine into it the hens will
make all the more use Of it.
