First Discovery of Gold
in California Was in 1848

The first gold in California was dis
covered n years ago, on January "a,
1S4S, by James Wilson Marshall. He
was a native of New Jersey who had
gone West and settled on the site of
Sacramento. Blasting away some
rocks to make a foundation for a
building he observed grains of what
seemed to be gold scattered about in
the excayated earth. A test revealed
that 1t really was the precious metal.
Wild excitement followed the discov-
cry, and the immortal rush of the
'forty-niners" brought thousands of
miners and adventures to the golden
state. Marshall, the discoverer, did
not profit from his find and would
have spent his last days in poverty
except for small pension granted
him by the state Of California.

i. After winter of voluminous wraps
and a great showing of ample capes
for spring, some trim and very prac-
tical coats have appeared among new
arrivals in outer garments. These pur-
poseful and businesslike wraps have
no superf1uous fullness. To see one is
to begrudge its wearer the joys it
suggests-sea voyages, motor tours,
tramps afield, all sorts of outdoor ac-
tivities, to be enjoyed without fear of
wind or weather. And they are more
than presentable. They have a good
style all their own.
An example of smartness in good
coat for general wear is pictured
above. 1t is double-breasted, with panel
front, full enough to be comfortable,
no matter what the demands upon it,
1t is of heavy cheviot in q gray mix
ture, and has everything to recon-
mend it to the active, outdoor woman.
In point of style, its neatness and fine
adjustment place it at the head of its
class. 1t is cut cleverly and on orig
inal lines, and it is faultlessly finished.
A moderately wide belt is tackled to
the coat and fastens with a big bone

such varieties as Colman, Red X, Col

best confine himself to some one Oh
the first-named varieties.
The importance of keeping the va
rieties to be used for Sirup produe-
tion from mixing with other varieties
is strongly emphasized The sweet
varieties from which seed for future
planting is to be gathered should not
be grown near any other sirup or foa-

FARM BUREAU IDEA SPREADS

Inquiries have been received by the
United States department Of agricuf
ture from Canada and Australia for
full particulars regarding the organ
ization and operation Of farm bureaus
in the United States, indicating that
interest in the plan Of work is no
longer confined to our own country,
but that other countries are eager to
adopt similar type Of organization.
The farm bureau is not only an or
ganization to aid the work of the
county agent, but is becoming the

Nakedest People in World
Are Residents of Brazil

Brazil is the home OF many native
tribes that are the nakedest people
in the world. Such dress as they
wear is for ornament-the bright
feathers of parrots and macaws, iri-
descent beetles wings for necklaces,
and the like. Many of them are can
nibals, hunting men for meat. They
distend their earlobes and lips with
huge plugs of wood or bone Some of
them are fairly amphibious, living
most of their lives in dugout canoes.

If 1t were not for ever varying
blouses, that lend the spice of variety
to the tailored suit, we might finally
grow tired of that mainstay of the
American woman's wardrobe. But
with the incoming of each new sea
son comes a glorious company of new
blouses and each time we are con-
vinced that they are the lovliest ever
seen. The business of selecting ones
new suit is settled, once and for all,
and this out of the way, the matter
of selecting blouses begins, and is
never settled once and for all. We
gather them in at short intervals,
month after month, and part company
with some of them reluctantly after
they have seen long service.
Handmade blouses, elegantly de-
signed and beautifully finished, never
loose their charm for gentlewomen.
And they are among her prerogatives,
be she rich or not for she can learn
to make them for herself. Even when

are not very high priced. But blouses

georgette and fine batiste to wash silk

In materials, georgette crepe has
won, and held for some time, first

incomparably dainty, and more beau

1t is too durable to be classed among
the luxuries; nothing stands the test

The exercise of patience involves a

God. For we may be come upon at
any moment for an almost heroic dis

continual trials of patience. The fam

French Government Makes
Shoes and Saves Money

In the six months that the shoe fac
tories of France have been turning out
footwear with leather furnished by
the government, and at prices fixed by
the government, 6,56S,0O0 pairs of
shoes have been made, and sold at
prices far lower than under private
manufacture Twenty per cent of the
shoes thus made were reserved for the
liberated people of France, and the
remainder put on sale throughout the
country.

TuIIe for the Slender.

1t is somewhat of a gift to know
ones limitations, but if you happen to
be stout, don't try to look like a rose
or butterfly. Use a little will power
and cut tulle and airy materials out of
your wardrobe. Have you ever seen a
stout woman sailing along the street
with wfnd-intlated silk dress? From
a distance she looks like circus bal
loon that has landed in the wrong
place. Flowing military capes should
also be debarred from the stout wOm-
ans wardrobe. These garments are
hard to wear and none save tall, slen-
der women, with beautifully graceful
carriages, and young Red Riding Hood
types of girls look we'll in them.
