To mention furs in hot weather Is an
ofrcnse, but-short furs are to trim
cloth suits and coats next season, and
long-haired furs will be seen on plush
coats. Among next winters model
costumes Hudson seal is Of great i'm
portance, particularly on cloth coats.
One smart model in buff-tan velours Is
an example of this; it has n Hudson
seal collar and cuffs and the combina-
ton Is pleasing. Then beaver and
nutria are also good. These shorter
furs are liked on cloth coats but for
the rich pushes which are shown eX-
tensively raccoon, oppossum and
skunk are important in the order
named. Fur fabric trimmings will be
In good style among the fashionably

Cottonseed Flour,

Women students of the University
of Texas recently conducted series
of experiments with cottonseed flour.
These students volunteered as sub
jects, and for five days ate n special
diet made up Of cottOnseed flour in
combination with corn meal, butter,
sugar and grape juice. Each subject
had 100 grams or about three and one
half ounces Of cottonseed flour in the
form of bread. Results showed an av-
erage digestibility for the protein of
cottonseed flour to be about 50 per
cent, placing it in the same class as
other cereals and breadstuffs.
