EVERYDAY HELPS IN HOME.

When kid gloves begin to tear bring
the tear together and stick a piece Of
adhesive plaster on the inside of glove
under the torn part. 1t is good idea
to stick the plaster on before the kid is
torn through.
When the glove begins to break, it
the plaster is put on it will never be
noticed. When rubbers wear out at the
sides take piece Of rubber from dis
carded rubber, place over the hole on
the inside, cut piece of adhesive plas-
ter larger than the rubber patch and
stick on. It will wear long time and
the rubber will not leak.
Baby shoes most always wear out
at the ankle joint. BY taking piece
of kid from an old glove or an old shoe
the baby shoe can be made to wear
long time by mending it the same way
as the rubbers. The plaster must be
quite bit larger than the patch, so as
to keep it in place.

TURKISH TOWELS FOR BLOUSE
Ingenious Women Have Found That
the Bathroom Can Be Robbed for
the Tennis Court.

Fine Turkish toweling has recently
been admitted into fashion. Ingenious
women have found out that the bath
room can be robbed for the tennis
court. Two extra large towels with a
good-looking colored border serve for
a blouse with elbow sleeves and a col
ored cotton sash. This makes a more
commendable sport garment than lin
en-, wolfe or silk.
Another common fabric that has
been flashed into fashion is outing
cloth. It serves for entire gowns, or
for a moujik's blouse worn over mar
row skirt of dark blue, red or yellow
cotton or linen.
The introduction of colored velvet
cen for coats, as a substitute for the
expensive silk sweater, lowers the
price Of one open-air garment when it
is not made by an expensive tailor.
Velveteen has suddenly leaped into the
summer fashions, along with the new
autumn hats. 1t is frequently chosen
in green, lapis lazuli blue, burnt orange
and black. It's summer use is not con-
fined to sports coats; it is worn by
smart women for sports skirts.

RETURN OF THE GOLF CAPE
Wrap That Closely Resembles Gar
nent of Twenty Years Ago Adopt
ed as Substitute for Sweater.

Smart women have adopted the cir
cular cape with straps across the
front of the body, as a substitute for
the sweater. These wraps resemble
the golf capes of 20 years ago. One
Of the smart French designs is mod
eled exactly after the Scotch garment.
The dominant idea in the new capes
is to have the fullness swing away
from the shoulders at the same time
that the garment is held tightly in
place by two broad straps that are
placed beneath the shoulders, cross
over the chest, pass around the waist
in the back and tie in the front.
These capes have brilliant Innings in
figured designs. The printed Futurist
crepes are better here than elsewhere.
Broad, colored stripes in crepe, silk or
cotton are also used. Even the jack
cts of summer suits are now lined with
gay-colOred linen.

of the soil that his stalk should be perfect that
should escape the insect and the blight.
The harvesting of the corn is in modern
practice essentially the same process as that Of
the Indians. The method of curing and storing
has not changed The placed in venti-
lated structures on stilts for the corncrib every
farmer uses is an Indian invention also.
So much for the Indian corn seen in the
called belt of the United States. Here the
aborigines had developed it into the lordy plant
The ingenuity Of the Indian farmer came into play
in the Southwest, where he raised excellent corn
in what seemed sandy desert. To insure moisture
for the plant the Indian buried the seed foot
underground at the bottom of hole bored
out by his planting stick The deep-growing
is one of the wonders of Hopi husbandry. When
deeply inferred Mondamin comes to life, he sends
some slender roots upward, but under the
conditions the main roots not put forth until
they within an inch of the surface. The
Hopis build wind screens for the further protec-
ton of the plant. When the plant at last natures
the part above ground looks like low bush and
yet it bears fine weformed The United
States government used to try to teach the Indians
of the Southwest how to farm, but now it finds
it about profitable to go to school to them.
1t has been accepted for many years that in the
Dakotas and much of the Northwest it was impos-
sible for the white farmers to grow corn because
all of the varieties tried killed by frost Re-
Gently it occurred to some scientists that despite
the drawback OF the weather the MdUudH liz
dams were raising corn An expedition under the
auspices of the American Museum of Natural His
tory made a study of the agriculture methods OF
the Mandans. 1t developed that for centuries the
farmers of the tribe had been developing hardy
corn The seed had been selected from year to
year from stalks which showed no effect of frost.
The stalks of this variety stunted that they
are more like shrubs than the plant which is COM
mon to other ATTITUDES Seed corn raised by the
Mandans is to be sown all through that region
which, according to the official maps, is not at all
fitted for raising corn, and thus the food supplies
of the nation will eventually be increased by many
millions of bushels every year.
The secrets of the cultivation of this strangely
accmated tropical plant were found by arch
aeologist and not agricuturist, and were hand
ed over by Buffalo Bird Woman and others of her
tribe in the belief that they might help the white
neighbors. This by the way, is returning good for
evil for in the early years Of the white race on
this continent the Indian i'll reQuited for all
that he did for us.

MUSLIN AND LINEN
NEW HATS FROM OLD COATS
Sports Suit Out of Garments That
Had Been Discarded.

Perhaps you have last years suit
or one of even older date, in which the
skirt is still good but which is doing
you no good because the coat is out
of style. Don't hang it in the closet
to take up room and gather dust, for
it is really the foundation of this years
street costume. A very clever woman
evolved a good-looking sports suit out
of just such an almost-lOSt-forever gar
ment.
The original suit in this instance was
plaid of brown, yellow and green.
The material was so good and the skirt
in such splendid condition that the
owner, who is one of those much-to-be-
admired-and-copled persons who is al
ways well dressed without spending
small fortune, could not find it in her
thrifty soul to put it in the discard.
She ripped up the coat, had the jaunty
little sport hat made from the pieces
and bought at sporting goods house
a boys jersey in heather colors TO
blend with the plaid. The loose box
lines Of the jersey take it out of the
sweater class and with slight altera-
ton and the addition of collar and
cuffs in a plain color to correspond
with the skirt, it has become the coat
of a sport suit that would have cost
many times the amount expended in
fixing this one up. 1t is just the thing
for business, beach or golf.

The Indian discovered for himself the science
Of irrigation. Many of the tribes, such as the
Crows and the Apaches early made use of the
river bottoms for the cultivation of the staple
crop-corn. When the condition of dryness came
they would construct rough temporary dam of
logs with which they could divert the course OF
part Of the stream into their lands. There were
primitive bitches which distributed the water.
Southwestern Indians, however, were hydraulic
engineers who played every point in the game
against drought They, and also the primitive
people who had preceded them worked out
tensive bitches with channels and lateral branches
These bitches as in Arizona and New Mexico
show how thoroughly the Indians had developed r-
rigation lines which we would hail in this day
as scientific and efficient. There is much to be
learned even by the farmer who has had the
training of the agricultural college if he will study
the system irrigation perfected by these tribes
of the Southwest, who in many respects
Semble the Egyptians. They made the ella river
their Nile and strange it seems now, find
the people of the Pueblos now taking up the cul-
ture of an Egyptian cotton under tutelage of the
United States department of agriculture, and from
seed brought from the land Of the Pharaohs. In
this region are also seen terraced gardens, which
are watered in accordance with the demands of
approved agriculture.
1t is one of the ironies of fate that in Oklahoma
and other regions where the Indian and the eau
casan race meet in competition in agricultural
arts, as, for instance, in the county fairs, that
/ many prizes are awarded to our first farmers.
This especially applies to and other cereals.
The great help which the work of the Indian
will be to this country will no doubt be shown
later when an effort is made to utilize to the full
the products which he has much developed. The
shortage of wheat, reported, shows much could
be done in the cultivation of corn the planting of
which in many parts of the country begins in
June. This grain is put in this country in much
the same category the Great Chan Of Literature
placed oats when he declared that it grain
used in England for horses and in Scotland for
men. The people Of the United States have been
shipping large quantities of for use of other
nations human food and reserving their own
supply principally feed for horses.
Modern science has given wizards in the arts
Of hybridization, like Luther Burbank and yet
with all the knowledge which civilization has ac-
cumulated it has never been better served on this
continent than by the real founders of agricul-
tural resources-the American Indians.

Length of Suit Coats.

AS to the length of coats, in many
of the new fall suits the coat reaches
to the knees, and in some cases little
below that point, says the Dry Goods
Economist. On the other hand, few
of the suits have a somewhat shorter
coat.
The uneven length has considerable
adoption, these coats being longer in
the front than in the back, or else
longer at the sides than in front and
back.

The illustration which accompanies
this article shows that practical
washing materials may be manipulate
ed into very exclusive and exquisite
creations. For the girls frock in
question Doucet selected fine linen in
q cool shade of lemon yellow and soft
white muslin spotted with black.
The dress was made up over a white
pongee silk foundation and it repre-
sented everything that is attractive
and summary. The ankle-length skirt
was set in fiat plaits. Practical plaits
which were sufficiently wide and pro-
found to be easily cleaned and ironed
down.
Then there was quaint Overdress
Of linen which was long back and
front and cut up at the sides to show
the spotted skirt. On the corsage por-
ton of this long tunic there were some
fine, washing silk embroideries in
black, white and lemon yellow. You
will notice that the tunic is cut round
at the neck and that it is moderately
decOllete.
This style is in great favor with the
Parisiennes and it is likely to remain
fashionable all through the year.
French women never took kindly to
high-necked blouses and bodices. They
wore them, it is true, but unwillingly.
On the other hand, an extreme V open
ing is considered bad taste for street
wear. The correct thing is the simple

THE REAL TUG OF WAR.

/ We have with us the new Liberty loan cam
paign, and we see coming to us the new war
taxes. Now the tug of war will be felt by all
pockets in the taxes that make almost every
citizen contributor to the nations war fund
Our first Liberty loan was an earnest to
Germany and to the world of the meaning
we attach to our part in the war. The second
loan is accepted by all loyal citizens as a
matter of course, but the responses to the cali
should be prompt and universal The organi.
cation of the campaign has been perfected and
the experience of floating the first loan is valu-
able. The temper of the nation is more alive
than it was a short time back We knew then
in a general way what Germany had attempted
but now we know what she has done here in
our own land. We see ourselves faced with
her agents within our borders and those of us
who have foresight realize that these agents
are but an advance guard of an army to enforce
demands if that army were not buttressed
back by the ships and troops Of Germany s
foes. We would fight without thought Of
pocket of age physical disability if the
enemy in arms were landed on our shores. We
are fortunate in being able to fight him on 9th
er shores. In the loan and the taxes we fight
our battle with Germany and the money we pay
as surely is driving Germany's world war
plans to their finish as are the troops in the
field A citizen should pay his share with the
thought that he has a part in the pull which, if
it engages the united power Of this nation,
will overset the drive Of military ambition to-
ward control of people who love peace under
law.
