SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THREsHlNG
Farmers, Urged by Food AdmlnIstra-
tlon, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth.
ods and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves Of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
S. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.--the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest p0ssi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the numbeE of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success Of
| the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States are
many millions Of dollars "in pocket
as result of the grain saved.

A Little Cloth Will
Make a Dress To-day

THOSE who hive never made
dro~s naturally hesitate to at
tempt re, for fear of destroying the
material. With the simple pattern
used for the dresses on this page,
which were designed especially for
the woman who wants to help reduce
the high cost of living, there is little
chance of the model not turning out
!'u0t as anticipated. Even the in
fated prices of materials need not
daunt the would-be amateur dress
maker, for there never was a time
when it took so little Goth to make
dress. This makes it possible for
us to use the best fabrics and still
spend very little for frock.

Ordinarily, in making dress we

ing very little r ore than muslin,
was used for this purpose. Three
yards of material, at 80 cents a

for the embroidery and the gird'e.
made the sum spent for the entire
dress only S1.45. The point of this
dress Is that, viii the cost is So
very little, we have a house dress
much more attractive than the usual
type of working dress, as we'll as a
model that serves as a basis for
making other dresses.
The sleeves and neck are worked
in blanket stitch in soft shade Of
light blue worsted and the girdle is
made of many twisted strands of
the worsted. The pockets also are
embroidered in worsted. 1t takes

worsted for the embroidery, taking
double thread of the worstel
and using several rows of it in
a running long and short stitch down
the front of the dress, the center
ones coming below the waistline to
form a point. They graduated from
there to a shorter length at the
sides. The neck and sleeves have

in tightly about tie waist, as the

complete cost of this dress was SIT.
Very dark blue duvetyn or wool
velours might be used for this and
the embroidery could be gray or blue
worsted
The satin dress at the top of the
page has a conventional design Of
wool embroidery which is done in a
loop stitch and then sheared to make
solid tufts. A dress for country
wear, at the left Of this frock. has a
skirt of satin, accordion p.eated. and
the jacket is gray angora. If angora
IS not practical for your needs the
coat may be very effectively worked
out in any cloth, although the softer
materials ar more attractive.

Dresses of To-day
Are Easily Made

\VEN the most costly clothes
FL nowadays are constructol in
A% very simple way, so simple,
in facs, that any woman who
wishes to try can make them fo.
herself. The recent war has encour-
aged more women to work than
have ever done so before, and we
have become interested in the vari
GUS kinds Of work we are doing t.
such an extent that few of US have
much idle time on our hands; so i.
would probably be neither possible
nor profitable for us to make a
of our clothes; but the dresses of to
day are so easily made that We
wonder why it is necessary for dress
makers to charge such a 'armingl-
high prices for them, and for thi
reason many Of us are eager to make
at east some Of them ourselves.
This page has never encouraged
women to attempt too great eco
Monies in the matter Of their Clothes,
Tut we believe, however, that SAVING
should be made in some things, IN
order to justify the expense now
necessary in the dresses that they
also ute y must buy and pay high
prices for, because clothes cannot
be made to order except at great
expense. We are. therefore, show
ing to-day how these economies may
be easily practiced.

very little time to make the dress as
it has only two seams.
Taking this for our pattern we
may work out innumerable varia-
tions. In the first place we may cut
the neckline in several different
ways. If the dress is Of cloth it may
be curved down lever in the front

winch may be made in one or two
pieces. When it is in two pieces the
openings should be on the shoulders.

EAST INDIAN WATER MONITOR
Reptile, Harmless in Itself, Is Used by
the SinghaIese to Brew Most
Deadly Poison.

The water monitor is one Of the
standbys of the citizens of India, Cey-

East Indies, although 1t Is a reptile
of no benefcent appearance, with its
long forked tongue, extending from
q sheath like unto a snakes. 1t is one
of the largest of existing lizards, reach
ing a length of seven feet, although Its
nearest relative, the gigantic Austral-
ian monitor, grows from IL to 80 feet
long. The monitor lays 20 or more
white, soft-shelled eggs in hollow trees,
and in Burmah these bring a much
higher price than hens eggs, accord
ing to the Scientific American.
1t is a. swift runner, able to over
take the speediest mammals, frogs, tur-
ties and snakes, on which 1t feeds. 1t

their eggs. At other times it may be

the eggs Of the crocodile, of which 1t
is most fond. If surprised when up a
tree, 1t drops into the water, swimming
with powerful strokes of its flattened
tail which acts as oars and rudder.
When being captured it fights with
teeth, claws and tail.
The natives term the monitor "Ka-
bara-Goya." Although 1t is harmless
and non-poisonous, it is used to pro-
duce deadly poisons. The Singhalese
are experts in brewing a deadly poi
son termed "Kabaratel." They extract
poisons from venomous snakes, adding
arsenic and other drugs, boiling the
combination In human skulls. And
here the monitor comes in as a part
Of their superstition. They tie three
monitors on three sides facing the fire.
Then they torment the monitors with
whips and make them hiss to cause the
fire to blaze up. You and would take

t1ves believe that the hiss of the mont

THE LAST YANk HOME

Half of the hardshps of never are under stood by the folks at home. The feelings of Ameri- can soldiers who stayed in France for many months after the armistce, uncertain as to whether they would sail westward in year or two do not have the dramatic appeal made by the sufferings of ac- tual warfare. But the who toled on the humble sjob of cleaning up needed as much heroic stuff in them called for at Chateau Thierry.
 Presently the last of them will be back; the heartache and suspense will be at an end Months of residence in foreign country will work change in the thinking and feeling of thousands They will bring back few French words which may ultimate y be absorbed into our language. They will bring back some ideas and many mind pictures.
 After the harsher experiences of exile have faded out of memory, impressions of beautiful and gra- cious land will remain vivid. Men of the A. E. F. pass, will grow in appreciation of the mel low charm of old world scenes. There will be hours when they will be almost homesic for the red -roofed village, the park like countryside the picturesque cities of their overseas wanderings
