Low Buildings Best.
1t is cheaper to build barns and
stables low because lighter material
may be used In their construction. A
dairy stable should have a low ceiling
to facilitate ventilation. Seven feet
is high enough for a ceiling but eight
feet looks better If the stable Is long,
and where there are q good many cows
together there is no objection to an
eight-foot ceiling. A good deal de-
ponds on the number Of cow kept.
The principle Of ventilation depends
on the circulation of air. Warm air
Is lighter than cold air and 1t natu-
rally goes up. In order to ventilate
a stable we must get animals enough
In 1t to warm the air. There Is little
or no circulation In a cold room. For
the ventilation to work right the tenn
perature In a stable should not 60

fore 1t becomes contaminated. The
hot breath Of the cows goes to the
ceiling, spreads In all directions to the
sides of the roof while 1t loads up with
impurities, and finally settles to the
floor at the sides OF the stabie where
1t is drawn of by the ventilators and
sent out through the roof. In order
for the ventilating system to work
right the stable must be practically
airtight around the sides and ceiling
and the doors must fit well.

Buying Is
Not Best Policy

New York.-The trade, which means
the vast multitude of people engaged In
the making and selling of women's APP
parel, has Mt last sounded a warning to
those who buy too far ahead of the
seasons, advises a well-known fashion
correspondent.
The public has deplored this condi-
ton. 1t has been well known for sev
eral seasons that the average woman
did not care to buy a straw hat In
February and a velvet hat In July, or
to have all her autumn clothes offered
to her the first of September with the
assurance that they were the fashions
that would rule throughout the winter.
She has been often betrayed, and that
betrayal has not soothed her Irritation
against those who sold her the clothes.
1t Is the fact also that the trade In
turn has found itself caught in a
net that tangled and involved 1t, and
compelled each individual to struggle
for success In a manner contrary to
the dictates of reason and sobriety.
Through this web of circumstances
everyone has come to a feeling that
something must be done In the crea-
ton Of new fashions long before the
season for which they are to he worn,
and that the public must follow the
lines laid down by the trade COMPETE
tors.
Right here lies the extraordinary
gamble to women In buying clothes
early In the season. Right here lies
one of the greatest sources of money
wastage. Thousands of women, who
have no way Of knowing what the
fashions will be as the season ad-
vances. buy what is said to be new as
the season demands a change.
What they buy In September has
probably been bought by the shop in
June. To keep up with the rising tide
of forehandedness, the manufacturers
make the clothes earlier and earlier,
and the ready-to-wear shops and de-
partment stores. as a rule, buy these
clothes as early as the manufacturers
make them, and get them out at the
very m there Is q slight demand
for them.
What happensf
In October and In April the real
fashions come out for each season.
Hundreds Of women-nay, thousands
are faced with the fact that they have
bought gowns, or wraps, or hats that
are not In keeping with the new
clothes. They have bought clothes ar
ranged six months before the authen-
tic exhibitions of new and ~seasonable
apparel.
What happens next?
The woman who can possibly scrape
up enough money to buy a new outfit
does so. and she also spends extra
money on a seamstress or little dress
maker to have her other clothes re-
modelled. Therefore. she spends twice
her allowance IN clothes.
Panic Has Produced Careless Buying.
Many of the traders In apparel real
lie that panic and a form of CONNER
cial hysteria have resulted In a large
amount Of early buying, which Is not
fair either to the individual or to COM
merce. Every shopper has shared the

money. Women. feeling the press Of
this panic, have gotten clothes In adj
vance Of the season, and they now find
that there are just as many to be had
as six months ago, and that the shape
and texture have changed.
1t would be a far wiser method Of
spending ones money to buy a little.

best there Is at that moment.

duced to whole garments Of sewn DC.

woman should wish herself out of the
picture. Let her 60 along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and

The public Is beginning to see the
wisdom OF buying a small amount Mt
the moment 1t Is needed. 1t should be
preached In every possible form Of
propaganda that this is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that IL the public buys up all the stock
Of n thing from a store, that store
will be r~eplenished the moment Its sup
ply Is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have a badly cut gown, made In a past
fashion, IL they are sure that every
thread Is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority OF women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN Of dress. 4
Therefore, let us start out In q new
measure of reform, as 500 as this
month is over, and face September
with no idea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause 1t is labeled "New." Maybe it is.
and maybe 1t isn't. But a feeling OF
panic among buyers that now Is the
only chance to get enough clothes to
