Against the chill Of wet bathing
suits and cool breezes, various capes
and mantles and scarfs have been pro-
vided, to be slipped on over the suit.
Many of them are made of rubber
cloth, such as is used in hats and
caps, for bathing, or Of cloth rubber
lied on one side. Besides these there
are caps and mantles of turkish-towel
fabrics, of coarse weave, wiry woolen
tabrics; Of light weight, and of rub
berized satin. The wOolen fabric
makes suits that shed water quickly.
The bathing suits and their acces-
s0ries that entice one waterward this
season are the most graceful and be-
coming and also the most varied in
design that have appeared for years.
1t is evident that they are intended
to be presentable in canoes, on house
boats and on the beach as well. The
caps and hats, made of rubber cloth,
are not merely head coverings, but are
entitled to be classed as a special kind
Of millinery. Rubber cloth is used for
rosettes and flower forms that trim
them. There are sailor shapes, tams,
and visored caps that shade the eyes,

At the bottom of the group there

are of navy blue taffeta, and there are
four pairs Of small navy blue wings
at the right side. The brim rolls up
at the left. The shape and the fine
work required In making this model

been liked for hats Of this character.

DEHORNING CATTLE is BEST
Operation Should Be Performed Early
Enough to Permit Wounds to
Heal Before Fattening.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cattle intended for the feed lots
this winter should be dehorned early
enough to permit the wounds to heal
before they are put on full feed. De-
horning offers advantages which the
feeder should not overlook. The cat
tie are more easily and safely handled
when dehorned, and each animal is as
sured Of fair play at the feed trough.
Dehorning also prevents the bruised
condition of the flesh and torn hides
caused by gOring both in the feed lots
and in transit to market, as well as ex-
cessive shrinkage in shipments. De-
horning should be done in late fall or
early winter.
The most common method Of de-
hOrning cattle is to saw the horns off,
and for this purpose an ordinary meat
saw can be used. though there are
saws on the market that are specially
designed for the operation. BY this
method good clean job can be done
on any type of horn, and the wound is
left in a condition to heal readily.
The use Of dehorning clippers is be-
coming more common, especially
where large number of cattle are to
be dehorned and where they are de-
horned before the horn becomes hard
and brittle. The chief objection to de-

By the time that August rolls round
from summer millinery and such new
headwear as they buy is prophetic
Of fall. In the late summer they ia
vor something cutie different from the
hats of midsummer, no matter how
beautiful these may have been, and
incline 20 tailored headwear made Of
silks and other fabrics. Outing hats
and between-seasOn sport hats inter-
est them, but straws and flowers are
things Of the past even in July. They
continue to wear them, but not to buy
them.
Here are three of the new demi-
season hats with which fair woman
will adorn her head until October sets
her thinking of winter, and fall show
ings of winter millinery tempt her to
anticipate her needs. These are
tailored hats that seem to be placed
right when worn with light summer
frocks or with tailored suits on cooler
days. They play a necessary role in

horning with the clippers is that thin
or hard horns are sometimes crushed
or splintered, resulting in a wound
that heals slowly. This objection is
partly overcome by using clippers that
are constructed with. two V-shaped
blades, which, when pressed together,
bring four cutting edges against the
horn, lessening the tendency to crush
or splinter the horn.
A number of methods Of restraining
animals during the dehOrning opera
tion have been practiced. Where only
a few head are to be dehOrned, the
quickest way is to throw the animal
to, the ground and hold it or tie it Sc
urely until the horn is taken off.
When a considerable number of cat
Ee are to be dehorned, it will pay to
construct a dehOrning chute. Plans
of a chute that has proved very salts
factory for this purpose are given
herewith. This chute is made narrow
enough so that the animal will not
have room to struggle a great deal,
and with q stanchion-shaped head
clamp at one end for holding the AMI
mails head. After an animal is in the
chute and the head clamp closed
moose should be placed around the
neck with a loop over the nose. The
head can then be snubbed down to the
peg indicated on the side post. This
forces one horn forward so as to make
it easily removed. After one horn is
removed the head should be snubbed
to the other side for the removal of
the other horn. A chute Of this kind
can be constructed at very low cost by
using scrap material about the farm.
Cattle should never be dehorned dur
ing warm weather when there is dan
ger of the wound becoming infested
with screw worms. The best time to
dehOrn is in late fall and early winter
or during the cool weather of spring.
If the weather is sufficiently cool there
is very little danger of the wound be-
coming infested with screw worms.
However, it is best to apply some tiy
repellent, such as pine tar or one Of
the coal-tar products to the wound
The accompanying plans show the
construction of two types of simple
and satisfactory dehOrning chutes
The dotted lines in both types Of chute
show the head clamps when open, and
the lever in both cases is used for
closing the head clamps after the AMI
mails head is in position. The sides
that are shown in the plans can be
used for either type. The gate is con-
venient for letting the animal out OF
the chute and also for branding ana
vaccinating.

DRAFT DODGER
 GETS 20 YEARS
 AT HARD LABOR

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., July 30-Uncle Sam has abandoned home opathy in treating slackers. William c. James, convicted by a Camp Dix court martial yesterday as a draft evador, will serve 20 years at hard labor in Fort Jay with all pay and allowances lost, and dishonorable dis charge from the army awaiting him at the end of his term.
 James, who is 23, and comes of a, wealthy family, failed to report to his local board in St. Louis, March 4. Seven days later he was arrested in Englewood N. J., where he had been preaching what sounded to the local authorities like treason. When it was learned he was a draft evader James was turned over to Major-General Scott, commanding officer here.
 At first classified as a conscientious objector, the youth later told officers he had no religion. In trouble enough as it was James complicated his situ- ation by telling soldiers in Camp Dix that he did not believe in this war; that he would fight for the Bolsheviki if necessary, but not for the United States, and that if he thought he would be the gainer he would cheer fully take part in a revolution here.
 The court martial sentenced James to serve 30 years in Fort Jay, but this was reduced by General Scott

 Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. was In conference with the President for more than an hour yesterday after noon and presented arguments in fa- Vor of the passage of such a law. The President assured the labor lead CT he was deeply interested in the subject and MT. Gpmpers, on leaving the White House, expressed the be- lief that a measure which will not prove hostile to the recent decision of the Supreme Court declaring the Child Labor Law unconstitutional will | be framed and presented to both Houses of Congress. [ young America is being killed in the trenches in France" said MT. Gompers, land it is absolutely esen- tial for the preservation of the man. hood and womanhood of this country that better labor conditions should be enjoyed by both sexes. In my opin- ion, a Child Labor Law can be framed which vii meet the objections of the Supreme Court and which can be passed before the present session of Congress ends"
 | MT. Gompers also discussed with the President the case of Thomas Mooney, the labor leader, sentenced to death. A monster petition from organized labor, including delegates from New York, will be presented to the President today, requesting him to use his war power to have Moo- ney's case removed from the jurisdic- ton of the California State Courts and to grant him a new trial in a
 Federal court.
