MAIN OBJECTS OF STANDARDS
tabIish Series of Grades as
Basis of Trading.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The object of making standards for
poultry is the same as the object Of
making standards of weight, volume,
or quality for any product or commod-
ity; that is, to secure uniformity and
establish series of grades as a basis
of trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply in the process Of produc-
ton the principal points considered
are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties differ
ing in color, but identical in every
other respect.
Color is not a primary utility point,
but as a secondary point often comes
In for special consideration. For ex-
ample, white variety and a black va
riety Of the same breed are actually
identical in table quality, but be-
cause black birds do not dress for the

To Save lime.

Time is way above par nowadays.
Everybody Is busy. No one has time
to devote to fine stitches if big stitches
will do. Hence any suggestion which
will save few minutes by the clock
are welcome. What about these: If
you need casting for the top of
camisole, or nightgown, or Riddles
frock in hurry, try making a wide
cat stitch on the outside Of the gar
ment with heavy silk or mercerRed
cotton. You can run a ribbon or tape
through this and make 1t decorative as
well as useful in much shorter time
than stitching on the usual bias facing.
There is another way, too, of crochet
ing a row of open filet mesh and sew
ing 1t on. This takes a little longer,
but wears well for wash clothes. A
loose feather stitch for sewing tucks
into dresses for growing girls is much
better than either hand embroidered
or machine stitching.

BUTTONS FROM NECK TO HEEL
Closing Gown Down Back an Idea Gre

Smart Woman.

Primitive draping IS in high fashion.

self quite as proudly and successfully,
says a fashion correspondent, will be
gown that is fastened with bone
buttons from the nape Of the neck to
the turn of the heel.
1t is pure perverseness to employ
line of buttons down the back of a
frock. The entire world of fashion
was stimulating itself to the utmost
to provide new ways with ancient
ideas. 1t was on the cards that we
would drape ourselves in different
ways. Then some designer, aided by a
smart woman, made tight bodice to
a frock, buttoned all the way down
the back, and added japanese bow
at the waistline.
What was the result? Huge bows
and tight bOdices, smoothly pulled
across the bust and sinking in over
the diaphragm, became an exalted
fashion.
,PerhapS 1t was panic, ana not per-
verseness, that created this gown. 1t
takes skillful hand to wrap material
around the body in graceful manner,
and we have not the art of the print
tives. A modest woman has q right 10
demand that this drapery be well put
together before she appears in it in
public, to dance, to dine or to walk.
The japanese woman can wind her
sarong about her hips and other an
| cient races can tie invisible knots in
material to keep it modestly in place,
but we are used to hooks and eyes,
buckles and buttons, and we are bit
afraid to go abroad in something that
depends upon our skill in tying knots
to keep US from being naked and
ashamed.

CHICKENS TAKE FIRST PLACE
Some Reasons Why They Lead ir

Chickens, in any general scheme OF

Chickens, better than any other class

During the winter months ON farms
where any considerable number of live
stock are kept, The hens would take
their living from these sources with
only slight additional feeding from
time to time. Chickens are great de-
stroyers of insects, including many in
furious forms, In yard, pasture and
orchard. They utilize also many
grasses and weeds, and seeds from the
same, that would otherwise be of no
use. Except In isolated instances the
part of wisdom would be, undoubtedly
to keep more chickens than all other
kinds of poultry combined, but there

BLACK FOR SUMMER
Mourning Color for Street Wear
and Social Functions.
UPkeep of country's Optimism Could
Best Be Maintained by the Wear
ing of Gayer CoIors.

Another departure from the fashion
the wearing of black. This is not for
mourning, but for street, luncheons,
dinners and the theater.
1t is really not good fashion, and
those who cry for the morale of a ma
ton, which merely means the upkeep
of its optimism in the highest form,
would prefer to see this a season of
gayer cOlorS, states a fashion CORE
spondent. There will probably be
enough mourning in the land, and our
millions of soldiers do not wish to see
all the women CARRIED in black. 1t does
not make them look upon life with
more joy.
However, we have started on
career Of black for this summer sea-
son, and only the individualists depart
from it. 1t is condition for gratitude
that we have enough rebellious souls
to insist upon blue, pink, green and
yellow as a contrast to the moving
procession of black jet, taffeta, tulle,
satin, pearls and jersey.
Another fact about this fashion for
black, for which we are truly CRATE
full, is the extreme manner in which it
IS presented. There is nothing gloomy
or depressing in the way it is han
died. Only the color itself strikes a
somber note. But color is always the
note of victory, the sounding of the GYM
balls of a deed well done and as the
psychology of the masses is the most
important thing of the hour, we should
become students of this peculiar SCI
ence of the mind and exploit it to the
greatest extent.
It might be wise for US to follow in
detail the psychology of the general
iSSmO of the allied armies, General
Foch. One who knows him well, says
that General Foch thinks that to be
gloomy is to admit that matter has
conquered spirit. Hopefulness is first
in his creed of victory. He believes
that depression is a confession of in
tellectual weakness and will lose more
battles of every kind than any other
single cause Mind power thinks Cen
eral Foch, can snatch victory out of
the arms of defeat as well As the COM
ing Of unexpected re-enforcements. He
said during a battle that no man need
ever be tired at a crisis if he manages
his mind right. One of his great max
inns is "ReSist the irresistible" and an
other favorite maxim during his long
life in the thick of things was "Vic
tory is a thing of the will"
There is no getting beyond the sen
tcnce that 'yictory is a thing Of the
will" 1t is this psychology that we
should work upon, and the constant
wearing of black does not help to
wards a more brilliant expression OF
the will and the spirit. Therefore, il
we must wear black gowns, ever
though we are not in mourning, let III
have them as gay as possible.
Brilliant jet contributes to the viz
idness Of black gown, and 1t ha
been reinstated by the designers in
fascinating fashion. Entire frock
are made of it for dinners and dances
