In the light of experience the tall
ored suit of wool cloth has proven that
there is nothing to equal 1t for giving
general satisfaction. Some other fab
RIGS make suits as durable and as
good looking but they do not seem to
fit In everywhere and against any sort
of background as wool does. How
ever, there may come time when
there Will be no wool to spare, after
the needs of the nrmy are supplied,
and we will be obliged to wear some
thing else. Manufacturers are already
experimenting with other fibers md
have turned out few new fabrics that
look practical.
The most noteworthy of these mate
rials Is tricotine or tricolet. woven Of .
heavy. silky fiber that Is strong and sup
ple. 1t has the brilliance Of silk and the
strength Of wool and Is especially
handsome In black and In dark tones
of brown and blue. 1t is used for
gowns and suits. For the FIRST, hand
some fringes are wonderfully effective

the best finish for suits.

order to protect the vegetables from

Barrels, crates, boxes or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to built-in bins, as It is pos
sible to remove them for cleaning.

Outdoor storage cellars or caves are

the advantages of the basement stor-
age room and are superior in many re-
spects. 1t is possible to keep the cell
lar cool and to reduce temperature
quickly by opening the door during the
night. and closing 1t In the morning
before the air becomes warm.
As the root cellar must be proof
against frost and moisture. its types
and construction vary with the geo
graphical location. In the southern
portion Of this country the structure
usually is entirely above ground and
protected by only few inches of sod
and straw or leaves. In northern Sec

entirely below ground and are covered
with q foot or two Of earth.

The bureGu of aircraft production
of the war department has requested
the Red Cross to give publicity to the
vital need of walnut for use In max
ing airplane propeller blades and gun
stocks. All chapters in central divis-
ion are requested to see that this need
is made known as widely as possible
by posting this notice on their bulletin
boards and including this item in the
Red Cross news printed in local news
papers.
Walnut has been found to be the
best wood for propeller blades and gun
stocks. Trees are found throughout
the United States, usually in small
groups. and the government wants in
formation as to their location, to give
the owners an opportunity to demon
strate their patriotism In a practical
way.
A part only of the lumber from each
tree can be used and the government
cannot buy the trees direct from the
owners. The trees should be sold to
sawmill having government con-
tract for lumber for propeller blades
and gun stocks. II owners Of trees
dc not know Of such mills. they may
write TO the Ordnance Department,

Section. Washington. d. c., giving mum.
ber and location of the trees, and they
will be notified how to dispose of them.

in regard to small number of trees
is most valuable. The government
