ET0N JACKET TO BE POPULAR
Sleeves on Spring Suits Are Tight and
Cuffs, More Often Than Not, Are
Exagoeratedly Fiarin1.

In one Fifth avenue house, where
strong stress is laid upon the creation
of American-made suits and gowps,
there is decided movement toward
the Elton jacket as a standard for
spring suits, says the New York Times.
The argument is that, If wool must be
conserved. then this is the best manner
In which TO do it. An Elton jacket Is a
graceful thing and Ii has had a great
feminine appeal through all the ages.
In this. its latest adaptation. II has cost
none of its former charms and gained
new ones.
Three or four points are to be dis
tlnctly noted about the new spring
things-Eton and otherwise. One Is
that the sleeves are tight and set into
normal armholes. There is little or
no echo of the sleeves that fall into
the waistline. Cuffs are, more often
than not, exaggeratedly fiaring and are
cut as parts of the sleeves themselves.
Often they are faced with a contrasting
color of silk. Collars of white are
taboo. Either the collar is made Of
the same material as the gown or of
one shade darker or lighter or or a
colored linen. There is a great deal of
talk among those conservatives who
become welded forever to a certain
style, about white collar softening
the line. There are white collars that
are as hardening as can be and there
are colored collars and plain finishes
quite beautifully softening. 1t is all In
the art of the thing. after all. and in
the way that 1t Is handled.

LIGHT DRESSING OF MANURE
Yields Larger Returns Fer Ton Of
Fertilizer Used Than Does
Heavier Application.

A light application of manure yields
larger returns per ton OF manure used
than does heavier application. This
has been proven by the trials at many
experiment stations. Heavy applica'
tons of 80 to 40 tons per acre give
the largest yields, but when the
amount of manure is limited and the
area of land is large, light fapplica'
lions of six to ten loads per acre give
the most profitable returns. Very ben
eficial results may be secured by Civ
ing a very light dressing Of one te
three loads per acre to the fields which
are to be plowed for green manure
The manure doubtless increases bac
terial action and hastens the fermenta
ton and decay of the organic matter

AUTOS IN WINTER
Help Starting Device by Providing
Rich Gas Mixture.
How Antifreexina Solution Should Be
Fed Into Radiator - Proportions
VIII Depend Largely Upon
Temperature.

Every year motorists find themselves
overlooking the fact that Jack Frost
is no respecter OF persons and aufomo-
biles, and that he win go out Of his
way to pay his respects to the radi-
ator and congealing the water therein
and In the water jackets of the cylin-
ders-cause a pretty repair bill and
deny the owner the use Of his car for
a week or more.
The first fall of snow Is no longer
viewed with alarm by motor car own
ers--it is no longer the signal for them
TO put their cars away until spring.
More and more car owners are coming
to realize that in keeping their cars IN
dead storage for three or four months
every year. they are carrying an Idle
investment, besides doing the car more
harm than good. Disuse breeds depre-
citation as surely as does misuse.
Provides Gas Mixture.
On cold days help your starting mo-
tor by providing rich gas mixture
Prime the carburetor In the usual
way, or. better still. choke the air In
let. Not all Of the gasoline In the rich
mixture viii reach the cylinder-much
of IL will condense on the cold walls
of the intake manifold. So you will
understand why II Is wise TO provide
as rich a mixture at the carburetor as
is possible, and the careful owner will
take this means of removing a good
share Of the burden from his battery.
Insure Against Damage.
Provide yourself with few gallons
of tienatured alcohol. and when the
weather turns iE decided manner
feed little into the radiator, thus
insuring yourself against damage that
surely will come otherwise. The pro-
portions depend upon the temperature.
II will require a per cent solution OF
alcohol to prevent freezing at Is de-
grees. and % per cent solution will
take care of the water system down
to zero. As low as 10 below the solu-
tiop should be 30 per cent. and II the
mercury happens 10 drop to 15Aiegrees
below the percentage viii be 35 of al
cohol. whereas 10 more degrees below
will require a 40 per cent solution Al
present prices glycerin is out of the
question as an antifreezing agent--be-
sides, alcohol is far better and cheap
err. even IL II does tend to evaporate
easily.
Cover your radiator when car Is al
lowed to stand idle, and II II is to re-
main In the cold for any length of time
let 1t face the wind and not back up to
1t. If left in the latter position the
wind has clear passage under the
car and above the drip pan to the mo-
tor.
1t requires no more effort to do
things correctly than 1t does to do
them wrongly. and lack Of understand
ing is the only barrier. Watch the lit
tie details.
