SHOCKS IN STYLE THIS YEAR
tions-Crepes, Linens and
Pongees Still Used.

Shocks which had great vogue last
year for garden and sport wear have
become more fashionable this year and
now grace all kinds of social functions.
The firmer materials of last year, the
crepes, linens and pongees are still
used for the ordinary smocks, but those
for dress wear are of the sheerest
georgettes and some dainty ones make
use of organdie and wolfe, especially
I'm printed patterns.
Originality is given free play In the
designing of these garments and some
very beautiful ones have been inspired
by japanese mandarin coats, Russian
native costumes and other oriental gar
mentS.
Printed wolfe or printed georgette
embroidered in some bright-colored
yarns will give the desired effect. The
sleeves are loose three-quarter length
affairs with tiny balls weighing down
the corners. The belt with its pouch
pocket directly in the front is typical
~ Indian. Instead OF holding arrow
heads or food as it did in the long
ago days ii holds Miss Americas ball
of yarn while she knits at her after

Onions Good DiSinfectant
in Any Case of Infection

Much has been said about the vir-
tues of the onion, but few know of its
use as a disinfectant, says the Lon

An onion cut In half and set In

Infertile Eggs
Keep Best

The greatest loss in preserved eggs
comes from the fact that fertile eggs
are preserved, according to c. 5. An
derson of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Fertile eggs Will keep equally
as we'll as infertile eggs, providing at
no time they have been brought TO
degree of heat where the germ starts
to develop. In holding fertile eggs for
preserving they should not be allowed
TO get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the early spring months this Is
easily done, but In warmer weather
poultrymen should take the precaution
and produce infertile eggs. Fertiliza-
ton is not an incentive 10 egg produc-
ton among domestic fowls, and the
number of eggs produced will be in no
way diminished.
The fertile eggs contain no germ to
be developed. withstand more heat.

ed with the minimum amount OF loss.

Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best MarkSmen

Gray-eyed men, says a Fort Worth
correspondent, are the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rifle range
of Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. Z. r. Breese was here
giving his instruction in the use of the
new rifle he said that proficiency in
craftsmanship usually ran according
TO the color of the eyes, men having
gray being the best shots, gray-blue
coming next, blue third, hazel fourth,
brown fifth, and black sixth.
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown to black cannot
shoot with accuracy at distance
greater than 500 yards and at 500
yards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color of the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex
lean has brown or black eyes and they
well. they are the poorest shots In
the world.

Good Wartime Dishes.

A most tasty combination which was
discovered quite by accident is the fol-
lowing: In preparing a potato salad
for small family the addition Of
two guests made the stretching of the
salad imperative, so cupful of nice
ly seasoned cottage cheese. which had
been left over, was added TO the pota-
to salad. making such tasty one that
hereafter we will use cottage cheese
with our potato salad. A pimento had
been used to season the cheese, which
added to the appetizing flavor.
