Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

MO matter what other pleasures N are in vogue, the dance holds
 its place and it is constantly creating demand for new trocks. This one ;s very charming in simple girl-lil1e way. The under bodice IS covered with straight lace and the pretty over bodice and slloit sleeves of crepe are prettily drapcd. The skirt ia a straight one and the tunic can be made edge and caught to give a puned effect. You could copy the model in a variety of materials, but here crepe is used over lace. Tafeta is pretty for the entire dress or taficta would be pretty for the under skirt while the tunic and the over bodice were made of silk voilc, or you could make the over bodice and the over skirt of tatfeta and the under blouse and skirt of tulle in place of the lace. Completed the frock gives a very elaborate effect but If you consider the skirt and the tunjc and the bodice separately you will realize it's simplicity. For the l6 year size will be needed, 25S yards of flouncing 2S inches wide for the skirt with 11s yards Is inches wide for the under bodice and 4 yards of material 30 or 512 yards 44 for the over bodice and the t,lnic.

 ished in the simple tailored
 style that is always smart and satisfactory for children's wear. Here, it is made of serge with trimming of velvet, but you could copy it in linen or in galatea or in cotton poplin or in any material of such sort. White pique with colored collar, cuffs and belt or colored pique with white trimming makes a very smart effect and a very charming one. If you scallop the edges of the collar, the cuffs and the belt a still daintier effect will be obtained.

CATTLE GET BEST OF GRAIN
Grandparents Of Present Generation
Were Strong Because They Ate
Whole Wheat Bread.

That there is a campaign among
the millers of wheat and interests
allied to them to discredit efforts to
persuade people to prefer whole
wheat bread to white bread is as
serted by DR.. Charles E. Banks,
senior surgeon of the United States
public health service.
He says that present methods of
milling utilize rs per cent of the
grain, and this is almost exclusively
the starchy part; the other 25 per
cent, containing the phosphorus,
mineral salts, vitamines, etc, is sold
by the millers as feed for hogs and
cattle> These grow fat ON it, for they
are getting the best part of the
wheat.
Doctor Banks says the diet of
white bread is responsible for Amer
iicans Of today being pale and anemic
in youth and fat and fiabby at forty,
whereas their grandparents, who ate
whole wheat bread, were strong and
athletic.

DIDN'T LIKE PICKET DUTY.

there is at least one Boy Scout
,encamped with the other membera
of his troop in Palisades park who
has been disillusioned regarding the
glories of camp life, according to a
New York correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. He may later
become soldier, but it won't be be-
cause of the glamour surrounding
tented life in the wilderness. The
Scouts dad is a newspaper man and
he detailed his son to take careful
note of the activities of the troop
and write it up for publication. He
obeyed his instructions so carefully
that when the first installment ar
rived at the newspaper office it was
mistaken for summer resort news,
so voluminous was the text. But
everything was there, including even
the authors own deeds and mis-
deeds. 81 like everything but picket
duty he finished, "every time we
have a chicken to roast, l am de-
tailed to pick it." s.,.sa

MAN NOT DESCENDANT OF APE
Scientist Points Out Differences Be-
tween Two Which He Defes The.
DRY Of Evolution to Explain.

DR.. NATION NJ. Curtis, professor
Of philosophy in Western Reserve
university, protests in a letter to
Science against the assertion, still
common in current scientific litera-
ture, that man is a descendant Of
the anthropoid apes. He quotes Pro-
fessor Duckworth, the leading au-
thority in this field, who wrote in his
"Morphology and Anthropology:"
1--WE must conclude that the exist
ing anthropoid apes, constituted as
they now are, did not figure in the
ancestry Of man."
And he points out some Of the
fundamental differences between
man and the apes, differences which
defy any theory of evolution to ex-
plain. Among these differences are
those in the form of the skulls, the
shape of the most ancient skulls that
have been found being substantially
the same as the shape of the skulls
of today.
Professor Curtis pleads that sound
science and sound education be based
upon actual facts and such theories
as grow out of them, rather than
upon mere speculations.

More Good Sense Than Men.
Women have more good sense than
men. They have fewer pretensions,
are less implicated in theories and
Judge of values more from their i'm
mediate and involuntary impressions on
the mind and therefore more truly
and naturally. 1t is said men have
sight. women insight" For these and
many more reasons women make bet
ter shoppers than men.
Women regulate their purchases al
gether by the amount they have to
spend. men by the amount of credit
they can get Women like to put their

This trait of wOman's nature Is

But if women are prone to bargains
they are also possessed with the sense

and community when once they come
to a full realization of the injury they
are working both to themselves and
their home merchants by sending their
money away to some large corpora

can buy as cheaply and of much better
