Hourly Changes
In Skirt Styles

New York.---A woman should give
more than passing interest to the lines
of the spring skirt. 1t does not change
from day to day. but from morning to
afternoon to evening. writes promi-
nent fashion correspondent
One can sum up the whole situation
by saying that a woman begins straight
In the morning and is on the bias in
the evening. When she appears on
the street at 10 a. m. her skirt must
be as straight as the path of life laid
out for us by the Bible. There must
not be deviation in the way of a
flare, ripple or rutfie. The skirt
may go in bit at the ankles but that
is not required by fashion. 1t must
look like a straight bag dropped from
the waist line.
In the afternoon the skirt begins TO
waver from the straight line. 1t takes
unto itself tunic, which Is attached
to 1t or begins at the waistline. This
tunic has ripple and a flare, but its
slenderness Is achieved through its
flexibillty. The material is soft, and
therefore the skirt swings to and from
the figure with good measure of
grace.
In the evening the skirt drops all
pretentions to straight lines. 1t be-
comes more slender than ever through
widths of material wrapped around the
figure, after the manner of the ancient
Egyptians. The cloth may 60 TO line

Make Sweet Potato Flour.

Sweet potatoes, dried and ground
into a flour In an ordinary Kitchen
coffee grinder, can be used In a variety
of ways In cooking. Specialists Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture believe that in many localities
where sweet potatoes are abundant
the making of sweet potato -four In
the home may furnish a practical way
to save the sweet potatoes from spoil
ing. The flour will keep well in dry
containers.
To make the flour the potatoes
should first be cut into small length
wise pieces and thoroughly dried. A
small drier that fits on top Of the
oven or warming closet of range or
gas stove can be used. If an electric
fan Is available 1t will serve admir-
ably. The nut knife of meat grinder
also can be used for this purpose
Flour made by such process can be
kept for some time If pat into a dry
container, or the -four may be made
from the dry potatoes as 1t is needed.
A quart of the dry potatoes makes
cup of -four.
The use of sweet potato -four in
cake or bread making will materially
reduce the amount of other -four used.
The proportions may be half and half.
When used in cakes the sugar could
also be reduced little. Sweet potato
-four is useful as q thickening agent,
having the same. value in this respect
as cornstarch. Recipes for the use
of sweet potato -four have been tested
and found to be excellent by food spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.

The station agent at Highland wired
his division superintendent -four cars
Strawberries to Chicago" The super
intendent added these four cars to fig

agents, and wired the total to the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing

The agent at Highland wondered
why anyone should want to know
about cars of strawberries moving to
Chicago. A few years ago his Uncle
Henry had ''gone broke" raising
Strawberries because he couldn't sell
them for enough to pay his expenses
While he was wondering about this,
messages were coming to Washington
from all railroads and soon word was
flashed back to points in producing sec

'Forty cars will swamp the Chicago
market tomorrow" said strawberry
man, who received the wire from
Washington, and he reached for the
telephone. Messages went to railroad
officials to divert certain cars headed
for Chicago to other cities where
strawberries were not abundant.
Next day Chicago received only 20
cars of Strawberries instead of the
40 that would have gone there except
for the market news service Of the
bureau of markets. Chicago could
use 20 cars but not 40, and because
the other 20 cars went to different
markets many growers received checks
that gave them profit on their ship
ments.
