USE LITTLE TIN IN SOLDER
Germans, Under Pressure of Necessity,
Invent New Method Which
Solves Wartime Problem.

German inventive genius, under
pressure of Mother Necessity, has been
applied successfully to the discovery
of a solder with practically no tin,
metal not found in Germany.
Resort was first had to cadmium, q
metal Of the zinc group, found In
large quantities in Germany, and an
excellent solder was produced from
so per cent lead, 10 per cent cadmium
and only 10 per cent of the precious
tin. This, however, could not be used
for making and sealing cans for pre-
serving foodstuffs as lead when brought
into contact with fruit or other acids
produces poisonous salts. Chemists
then remembered bismuth, another
metal found in large quantities within
the empire, and from cadmium, bis
muth and some other German metals
d solder was produced which is nom
poisonous and almost free from tin.
Since q fourth of the $1,000 tons of
tin which Germany imports and con-
sumes annually in peace time is used
IN making solder, the invention will
go far toward solving Germany's war
time tin problem, which recently led
the government to decree a general
confscation of the tin tops of beer
mugs and stems.

ers, country clothes and beach suits
are made by the hundreds in white,
horizon blue, deep pink and gray
touched with blue and silver. This is
an excellent idea, for the material does
not wrinkle, rs easily cleaned or
washed and does not shrink. 1t also
goes longer without ironing than any
other kind of fabric intended for con-
slant service.
Another segment of the wheel of
fashion in which this wooden jersey
has appeared is the long cape gathered
to a slight yoke at the shoulders, with
Sits at each side for the arms and
finished at the top with an immense
handkerchief collar that fastens on
the left shoulder. These capeS are
lined with brightly figured Chinese
and Japanese silks.
The Cape, Not the Coat.
Another distinct change in fashions
is the insistence upon capes instead
of topcoats. Nine. Paquin and Nine.
Georgette wore these capes in Paris
all through the winter and fea-
tured them at the spring openings.
The house of Cheruit also turned out
a goodly number of them, with all
the peculiar tricks that belong to this
little group of designers.
The only topcoats that the smart
houses offer are for sport use, and
they are made of colored velveteen
and stockinee jersey in bold, gay de-
signs. For other hours and purposes,
the cape is offered instead Of the top
coat. 1t is of serge lined with fig
ured crepe; it is of satin lined with
horizon blue or fiamingo pink; it is
of Chinese blue wooden jersey lined
with gray; and it is in gray lined with
pink, blue or yellow.
A woman will own as many capes

but as indoor accessories to house

There is no limit set on the usage
of figured silk for Innings and facings,

tages for this fashion. This trick new
er had such instant success as this

Women Are Not Expected to Accept
Argument That They Should Show
Patriotism by Buying No
New Clothes.

New York.-Despite the persuasion,
pleading and argument of the hundreds
of women who have organized them
selves for preparedness to the effect
that women do not buy any more
clothes, but give this money to nation
al defense, the process of arranging
new apparel TO meet the season goes
steadily on.
Surely, the appeal of these women
must be. based on ignorance of con-
ditiOns, for they have the welfare of
humanity in their hearts or they
would not organize into bands for civic
help; but to plead that no woman
should buy new clothes and that she
should frown upon the pegtop and the
melon skirt because they are new
fashions and demand the purchasing
Of new clothes, is to argue in way
that would take the very food out of
the mouths of millions Of workers.
These women argue that we should
follow the example of France, Eng
land and Germany and that our wom-

in order to show their national spirit.
But why? The resources of France,
Germany and England were needed for
war, which was sprung upon them
without any warning and found them
unprepared financially. This isn't
figment of the Imagination, but the
statement of financiers and captains of
industry.
Women VIII Buy Clothes.
However, 1t takes very little argu-
ment to persuade women that their
national spirit should be shown in
spending their money on clothes, If
they have it to spend. Everybody is
benefited all down the line, to the
little cash girl six years old in the
slums of the city, whose money is
needed to give more bread to her fam
lily. Therefore, accepting the fact that
new fashions will be as popular as
ever and that new clothes will spring
up afresh as the leaves on the trees

it is wise to buy, rather than arguing
for and against buying.

An Expert In Motives.

Cousin Henry is an expert on mo-
tives. If you were reading off a list Of
names and overlooked Henry, he would
understand. Ee would know exactly
the motive that prompted you to do IT.
says Claude CaIlan in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram. If you don't think to
introduce him to the man who is with
you, ne can see through it. He may
have to go back four or five years, but
he will make complete ease against
you. In less than an hour he VIII
know what your motive was. Right
now he is angry because his daughter
was not selected as valedictorian OF
her class. You may think that the
other girl deserved to be selected, but
you don't know all that Henry knows.
1t is a long story, but he is willing to
tell it to you, and after hearing it you
will understand the motive-you will
understand that it Is a case of spite
work.

vet to stockinet, but the silk sweater

high fashion was foregathered.
The number of one-piece frocks in
worSted jersey is astonishing. The
French designers, aided by the Amer
leans, have produced a wide range Of
these garments, and they are accept
ed for the street as well as for the
country and also appear at afternoon
teas.
When a designer like Gabrielle
Chanel takes up horizon blue jersey
in an excessively supple and fine
weave which resembles the best quail
ity of stockinet, and makes it into a
charming one-piece frock combined
with biscuit-colored jersey, then it is
natural that women want such clothes.
Becomes Standard Material.
The dominant thing that has been
done this season is to change jersey
from an unimportant sport material
into an important standard material.

said professor Pate. "The monotony OF
the buildings is every now and then
broken by brief glimpses that arouse

tragedy. Sometimes we catch a situa-

FIG. 1-REeloNs OF THE HORSE.

temp is hard to control under many
circumstances, while the sluggish,
phlegInatic horse, though docile, lacks
ambition and endurance. Desirable
temperament is indicated by large,
mild, bright eyes; width between the
eyes and behind the ears; forehead
neither too concave nor too convex;
alert, active, graceful carriage when
In motion. Temperament and DISPOSE
ton are influenced to some degree by
training and handling, so that it is well
to keep these factors In mind when
testing the horse at work.
Quality.-Quality denotes fine tex
ture in all that goes to make up
horse. 1t is not possible to examine all
the parts, but those exposed to view
will give a good idea of the others,
since in animals there is analogy be-
tween the various parts. The exter-
nal indications of quality in the horse
are dense, flintlike bone, covered with
fine, snugly fitting skin, and short soft
hair the two latter to be of this char
acter over the entire body. Quality
also finds expression in thoroughly de-
fined lines between the various re-
gions, in cleancut features, and In a
general refinement of tissue and breed
mess throughout. 1t Is well-known
fact that often the smaller bones
taken from the well-bred horse have
more actual strength than the larger
but coarser ones taken from a heavy
horse. This no doubt applies in a
large degree to all the other tissues,
and for this reason it is reasonable to
expect that the animal with quality
will have endurance necessary to per-
form hard work.
Color-Horses wifi any of the dark
solid colors, such as bay, brown, chest
nut and black. are serviceable and sell
readily. Dark grays are in demand for
draft, show and hunting purposes, but

sellers, because they turn white with

attention will be invited.
Stable Vices.
Evidences of stable vices can best be
seen by observing a horse in his stall.
Halter Pulling.-Horses wearing
extra heavy halters particularly
heavy rope halters) would be suspect
ed of halter pulling. Likewise rope
tied from one stall to the other at
about the height of the quarters, or
the use of what is known as the body
rope, may indicate this defect.
Cribbing and Wind Sucking
Horses that suck wind through the
mouth, accompanied by grunting
sound, are termed wind suckers. Crib
bers press their teeth on some object,
such as the manger, while sucking in
air, consequently the characteristic
wear on the teeth may indicate this
vice, as does also a broad strap
buckled snugly around the neck at the
throat latch. Horses with these hab-

to the abdomen. They are hard to
keep in good condition and are some

GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and
sunshine often intermingled in a single
day, it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
in the house, and a few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent severe ILL
ness, doctors bill, and perhaps death.
For fifty years this has been very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,
