drum tasks.
Ginghams and percales. in an array
of good colOrs. are used for making the
new aprons and nearly always COM
bination of two materials enhances the
colors in the plaid or striped apron. A
great deal of attention is given to at
tractive combinations of plaid or
striped material with plain patterns
and plain chambray made up with ac-
cessories of prettily lowered cretonne.
They make up spring house frOcks
that do not suffer by comparison with
any other sort of dress.
The apron shown above is of plaid
Bingham and plain chambray. 1t is
one of the models with long sleeves.
There are not so many of these, for the
three-quarter sleeve has the preference
in utility styles both in aprons and
frOckS.

SCREENING SEED MAY PRE-
VENT NEW DISEASE.

Screening out the shriveled
grains from wheat seed before
planting will remove one cause
of spreading the new bacterial
disease of wheat which has been
discovered in many states of the
middle West. This has been
learned by specialists of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture who. in cooperation
with the experiment stations of
Kansas and Wisconsin, are
studying the problem of control
ling this disease. Wheat ker-
nels that are plump do not con-
tain bacterial cavities, but shrfv-
eled ones often do.

Gil, which controls all food supplies.
Machine guns are mounted in various

SENATE IS IN
DOUBT; IS CLIMED
BY REPUBLICANS
Three States Still Out On Returns
Democrats Lose Control
of House.

Washington, November - The
House of Representatives is safely
Republican, latest returns today
showed, but control of the Senate ap-
peared to depend upon the final re
turns from three states-New Mexico,
Idaho and Michigan.
Exclusive of these three states the
Republicans appeared to have AZ
votes in the Senate to 46 for the Dem
ocrats. The Republicans must get
two of the doubtful states to win the
majority.
On the face of the returns today
it would appear tho Republicans had
landed New Mexico and Michigan by
the closest margin. while Nugent.
Democrat, was leading in Idaho.
If this situation is realized finally,
the Senate will stand:
REpURLICANS ..................4H 40
DEMOCRATS ....................4T
Should the Republicans land only
one of three doubtful states. there
would be a tie, and Vice President
Marshall world hold the balance of
power.
With five districts not yet heard
from the Republicans appear to have
carried the House, with 93A seats
or ! : more than the 2l9 necessary for
a majority.
The Idaho contest has to he de-
cidcd by official recount, Nugcnt hav-
iny only a lead Of 900 over his Re-
publican onn0nent. The Newbarry-
Ford contest in Michigan, while ear
licr returns. apparently will not
charge the early predicnc1s.
Newherry's lead over Ford on the
face of latest returns was about g.
000 and slowly increasing, with less
than POO small rural and normally
Republican precincts to be heard
from. Ford carried Detroit by 25,0OO
The increased strength of the Dem
ocrats, wherever they made gains

become one of the minority.
