BOYS were NOT COMING IN
lono-Haired Pianist, Playing to Re-
cruits In cantonment, Had De-

The story is told Of temperamental
concert pianist who volunteered to en-
terrain the boys in training at the cam
tonments. His offer was accepted by
nm amusement director who either was
short of more suitable 'acts' or shy OF
that brand of common sense that

not likely to be interested in per-

The pianist, however, was deter

Euyptian in Effect.

The Egyptian is said to be the dOmi-
nant influence in the new materials
for hangings. Fabrics with this type
Of ornamentation have their use in
certain places, but as in the case Of
the drap de guerre they require a
clever hand when the pattern is of de-
cided Egyptian origin. Unless guided
by an expert the average woman would
do we'll to be satisfied with an odd
piece done in these extreme novelties.
Frequently they are most effective
when employed as bands on neutral
toned fabric or on twO-tOne stripe.
Entire hangings or whole sets covered
with these designs are likely to prove
too heavy, and one soon tires Of them.

--1HE Phantom Canyon highway

Fall FrOckS at
Home Abroad

New YOrk.-The great offensive In
fashions, which the world has been
awaiting with anxious uncertainty, did
not take place.
The silhouette remains practically
the same for autumn as it has been for
two years. There is enough in the
fashions, however, to keep the public
guessing and put it on the defensive.
Things are not exactly as they were,
although the fundamentals remain the
same.
The interesting development of the
OUTPUT of apparel for autumn is the
fact that America makes more def
mite change than does Paris. She ad-
vocates the frock with the instep-
length skirt. She even lowers the hem
of her tailored suits for the street.
Paris does nothing of the kind. She
takes advantage Of the fact that the
government demands less usage of

y DOL in clothes and cuts her skirts to
such height that it is improbable an
American woman would wear them,
unless she is in uniform, driving an au-
tomobile or doing other active work.
France, as was said before, put out
these short skirts with the plea that
they We're in cooperation with the gov
eminent and that they were suggested
by the short skirts worn by American
women in the war service abroad; but
those were uniforms that the American
women wore. The French mind may
not have grasped that we're not all in
uniform over here and that those who
do wear the regulation service costume
have many other clothes in their ward
robe to which they resort as soon US
their war service hours are over.

Also. in growing stock for layers, It
is especially important at this time

understood specimens. Whatever may
be the facts as to the relative value OF
large and small hens as layers. as that
question relates to standard breeds.
the question is irrelevant in this farm
poultry production campaign. for farm
hens are nearly all small according to
standards for improved breeds Of
fowls.
The ordinary farm flock contains q
large proportion Of hens quite unna

it is desirable to reproduce. The egE

best hens in the flock. To determine
how many of these are needed. an e.

The ordinary average Of h2tehes

months is about 20 per cent II al
the chicks are Matched early the
length of the Matching season Is about
six weeks, from the setting Of the hrst
to the setting of the last hen used
Allowing two weeks for saving eegs
before the first hens are 0e4, the egg
used for Matching must be laid within
eight weeks. Allowing for reflections

eight weeks. This means Z nock u

Patriotic Honey Bees.

It is stated as g curious fact that
the honey bee is this season doing
more than its usual share in provitl-
ing a substitute for sugar. An East
side resident of Rochester, N. Y, who
has succeeded measurably in keeping
bees without undue annoyance to his
neighbors, reports that none Of his
colonies have swarmed thus far this
season. and that they are producing
honey in great abundance. This is
cheerful news in view OF the fact that
the English ration of two pounds of
sugar per month FOR each person is
now to be enforced in this country.

day
The German government recently

offer through the Swiss legation.
AS a result a bill of S197 was pre-
sented to the SWISS minister in

In a communication to Gov. Low
den. Sec'y Lansing said:
The guarantee given by the le-

hardly expected TO be called upon
TO fulfil believing that the author

was lynched would consider II their
moral obligation TO give him proper
burial at their own expense"
