The dressier suits are made of
silk and satin with touches of en-
broidery in the same or some con-
trasting color. The coats are gen
orally midway between the hips and
knees in length.
For sports wear there is no doubt
that hip-length coats with contrast
ing skirts will be very smart, and
there will be more interest in sports
clothes this spring and summer
than in any other styles, if one may
Judge from the present demand for
them. Plaid skirts with coats of a
solid color having the collar and
cuffs trimmed with the plaid are
considered exceedingly chic The
striped and checked materials are
employed in the SAME way with
coats of one color.
Besides the Norfolk coats, the
loose. straight-hanging box coat is
one OF the models that promises to
be very much favored Some Of
these are quite short. They are
very stunning made up in velvet
and worn with white serge skirts
Dark blue or old-rose velvet, with
large white pearl buttons for con-
trast. is used for these coats.

Nothing is more annoying 10 the
woman who is trying 10 economic
than TO pay a good price for a piece
OF cloth. only TO find that IL does
not wear nearly so we'll as the cost
per yard led her TO expect il would.
IF 1 could only be sure OF what I
am getting" she probably remarks
the next time she has 20 make a
similar purchase. but experience
perhaps has already taught her that
this is almost hopeless, so we'll
stocked have the markets become
with adulterated cottons, linens,
woods and silks.
What this one woman needs is a
little practical knowledge OF how 10
test textiles. To be sure. many OF
the authorizations OF the modern
textile manufacturers are so skill
fully concealed as TO be detected
only by the use OF chemicals or a
high-power microscope. but others
are made apparent by some simple
device which any woman can en-
ploy who is willing 10 try this means
of getting satisfactory returns from
her money.
A bulletin, issued for extension
work in home economics, by the
University of Illinois. and prepared
by Charlotte NJ. Gibbs. NJ. A., is
full Of practical help for the woman
who wants this kind Of informatica.
1t is entitled Some Points in Choos-
ing Textiles" and goes into the sub
ject thoroughly and simply. as the
following excerpts will show:
Cotton can be made 20 appear
heavier, the bulletin states by the
addition of mixtures called sizing.
Starches. gums, dextrine, glue. china
clay, as well as other ingredients In
varying proportions. constitute this
sizing. which may add a large per
cent to the weight OF the cloth. The
spaces are filled up and good finish
is given 10 the cloth, although the
wearing quality is not increased. II
the sizing is present in large guam
titles, the cloth is greatly reduced
in weight and firmness after the
first washing.
Authorizations of this kind can be
detected by the feel, a large guam
tity imparting a harshness 10 the
material. In very thin fabrics, the
sizing may often be detected by
holding the cloth up TO the light,
when the starch shows between the
threads. Washing. or thorough
boiling, of a sample will show the
amount of sizing present.
Mercerized cotton is a cloth pro-
duced by the action OF a strong al
kali on cotton fiber. rinsed under

To Freshen the Winter Dress.
There are many people who wish
to freshen up their winter clothes.
before getting their spring things,
for il is still some time before the
weather will allow US 10 be comfort
able in spring clothes. Only those
who have been able to replenish
their wardrobes very frequently
throughout the winter will not feel
the necessity, Of adding new touches
to their clothes.
There are new sets OF vests and
collars and separate cuffs TO match.
or matching collars and cuffs which
will do much toward making a
change in a dress Of which YOU may
have tired These collars and cuffs
are Of white shantung silk trimmed
at the edges with bands of plain
colored silk or the dotted or figured
silks. The band of colOred silk
adds a bright touch which is very
refreshing. The fiat, rolled collar
in sailor shape is still a favorite.
Some of the collars are made dou-
BILE; for instance. there is a lower
collar Of white silk and an upper
collar in green. rose, gold or any
OF the fashionable colors, the
same shape. but smaller, so that an
edge Of the white shows all around.
Girdles also offer another POSSIBLE
ity for freshening dresses. The
girdle is an important feature of
the dress at present, and there are
many charming styles. varying
from the very narrow aprOn-string
girdle hanging with long, loose
ends TO the wide girdle which is
arranged artistically in soft,
crushed effect Wide ribbon girdles
are very often seen.

effect Of the hens having been

Outstanding frill about half an inch

vides sufficient trimming in some
models.

What Your Hair Tells

Did il ever occur to you that your
hair is something of a signpOst to
character or at least to physical
condition? Haven't you noticed that
when you are low spirited or not
feeling in the best of health how
fat and lifeless the hair gets? This
is not imagination, but a physical
fact.
Moreover, character readers aver
that the quality of the hair and its
color will give you an inkling 10 a
persons temperament. Coarse hair
may not mean a coarse disposition,
but it does not argue the finer per-
capabilities of fine hair. Plentiful,
strongly growing hair is a sign of
some kind of energy. If strong hair
is dark. the energy is more pro-
nounced Wavy or curly hair i'm
plies natural musical ability the
straight haired people can cultivate
musical talent
Light-haired girls are less intense,
not so impulsive and more thought
full than darker girls.
A red-haired girl is lively, warm
hearted. usually shrewd and always
attractive TO the other sex.
Hair of the medium shade of
brown is the sign OF a normal, we'll
balanced and healthy girl. These
signs are not infallible. because there
are 50 many other things which in
huence character, but there is no
doubt about it that the hair is
general indication OF the tempera-
ment of the individual.

Coat Suits May Return; Smart
Norfolk Models for Spring Wear

NEW YORK. March 3.-It has
been a matter OF conjecture wheth-
er coat suits would return TO favor
with the spring, or whether the long
coats by which women have stood
firm and steadfast all through the
winter would continue 10 satisfy
their needs in spring.
One would naturally conclude
that coat suit in spring would be
welcomed by most women after the
heavy, long coats Of winter But
the question is still 10 be settled.
In all probability there will be as
mary coat suits as separate coats
worn when spring comes. Some
very jaunty models are being shown
now, and many OF .hsm have coats

On Cleaning Processes

found that some OF the dirt" was

difficult 10 remove by the action OF
soap. but that. If the goods were
treated first with some form of al
kali. this material would be taken
out.
10 was found that various opera
tons required soda or varying char
acter, and that the soda alkalies
were. in most cases. fully as efficient
as potash alkalies and more econo-
mical 10 use. Hence the use OF al

most universally into the use OF soda
In cleansing In the cleansing Of tex
tiles. it was found that. under ordi-
nary working conditions. the action

were too harsh. and, as a result OF
this. there came to be used milder
forms Of soda. such as borax.
This. however. was expensive, and
later there was developed another
form commonly known as a sesqui-
carbonate OF soda. which was an eff
cient cleanser without unduly attack
ing the goods cleansed. on account
Of the difficulties OF manufacture of
the sesquicarbonate, many firms
made up mixtures of soda ash and
bicarbonate OF soda, approximating
the composition Of sesquicarbOnate
and possessing more or less OF the
properties OF that compound. These
materials have a very mild action
and are especially adapted in all
cleansing operations where soda is
suitable, where the materials TO be
cleansed would be attacked by aka
lies as strong as soda ash or where
the operators hands come in contact
with the cleaning solution, such as in
the cleansing of containers and ap-
paratus in dairies and creameries.
and other food containers.
With the increase in the market
ing OF food products or beverages in
bottles, and the increase in size of
the plants producing these materials.
there were developed machines for
the automatic cleansing of the bot
ties used. 1t was found, in this case.
that a strong torm of soda was re-
quired TO give efficient results, and,
for this purpose, caustic sodas or
mixtures of caustic soda and soda
ash are generally used. u has been
found that soda is applicable to
many other cleansing operations.
where il shows advantages in eco
nomy and efficiency of cleansing
Some OF these domestic purposes are
the Gle" nsing of unfinished wood
floors, sne floors. marble walls and
fixtures, and the washing Of dishes
in hotels and restaurants, in dish
washing machines.
Thus il is seen that the cycle Of
change has led from the early soaps
containing alkali. by accident
through the refined neutral soaps
without free alkali, the soaps 70
which artificial alkali was added by
design. and. finally. TO the modern
neutral soaps used in conjunction
with special alkalies. We are back
then TO the earliest usage, but with
this difference; we know now the
function Of the soap and the function
OF the alkali. and their use in one
operation or in separate operations is
as much a matter of study as, let US
say, the building of a battleship.

Through the efforts OF the com
mittee or the American Chemical so
clety. many points Of general inter
est are being brought 20 the atten-
ton OF the public through the daily
and technical press. and IL is a com
mon saying that. in time. the most
complex invention comes back TO the
simple elemental type from which IL
was derived.
Something OF this same kind OF
'reversiOn" has certainly taken place
in the apparently simple process Of
getting things clean.
These cleaning processes vary in

tomobile rims before finishing; from

were hard on the materials that
were cleansed. Certain kinds OF
dirt" were not removed by the soap
but by mechanical action. and often
the clsanlng was accomplished only
by the wearing of OF the cOntami-
mated surface Of the article being
cleaned These earlier soaps were
rather crudely made from mixed
fats. and the homely processes used
generally insured large excess OF
free alkal. The early source OF the
alkah was mainly wood ashes. which
contained considerable amounts OF
potash. Later, in about 1923. arti-
fetal aikali. which was in the form
OF caustic soda, began 20 be used in
England. This soda alkali had the
advantage OF producing a hard soap.
and, in many cases. was not so de-
structive on the articles that were
cleansed. Later, they began 10 make
selection of the fats used in the man
ufacture Of the soap, and then soaps
containing bat little excess alkali
were produced and il was found that
these soaps did not have the cleans

contained the excessive alkali IT,.
therefore, became the custom 10 in
corporate varying amounts OF soda
ash or other mild forms OF alkali

many cases, these forms of alkali

AS the population became more
eongested. there were developed
commercial cleansing organizations
which made a business OF cleansing
various articles for the public. With
this development, the people became
more critical as 10 the efficiency Of
the cleansing operation and the at

cations, II developed that the soap

Arrivals from the east coast bring news of serious accident to the new Heckla power schooner, White Bear, which has put the schooner complete ly out of commission for the present and also resulted in the slight injury of the two members of the crew. Ac- cording to the story reaching Nome, the schooner proceeded on her maid en voyage to St Michael in excellent fashion until Chinik was reached. Here the engine suddenly blew up, setting fire to the boat and slightly burning Capt. Heckla and also a sail or who assists in navigating the ves- sel. The accident is attributed to some paper packing used in tighten ing the cylinders becoming soaked with gasoline which exploded when the engine became heated It Is said that the whole bottom was blown out of the engine. Capt. Heckla had the vessel lowed to an island near Cape Darby by Q native boat and will re-
