commonplace. They show lack of CO.
ordination. The American designers are
trying to make the long, narrow skirt the
fashion center of 1919 but some of the
shortest skirts ever worn are being in
troduced by the fashion dictators in
France. Peace shows the wide range OF
styles that prevailed during the war and
perhaps this for the good reason that
variety brings in money. If there is any
one thing above all others that fashion
designers desire in fashion it is the ut
ter lack of coordination. When par
ticular style is offered for one particular
season the patrons are quite often seen
to turn away from these things and
choose something else perhaps a little
out of style but nevertheless they prefer
to wear it rather than accept some of
the fashions which appear hideous to
them. But when short and long jackets.
short and long skirts, surplice fronts and
straight lines from the shoulder to hip,
embroidery or braid, arc each offered as
equal in Importance in the fashion, then
the public smiles and warns itself into
enthusiasm for clothes.
Noted French designers are making
the skirts ridiculously short in contrast
to the long narrow ones presented by
American designers. In recent issue OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer Ann Rittenhouse,
an American authority on fashions, said
'"The significant feature in French
clothes which errs, we think, in good
taste is the excessive shortness of the
skirts There is no getting away from
this feature Of fashion. Ankle length is
considered excessively long. The ma
jority of skirts show the entire curve Of
the leg. When the skirt is not actually
cut off five inches below the knee it is
transparent from there to its hem, which
is we'll above the ankle.
This struggle for or against the short
skirt is the dominant topic among those
who handle clothes. If you weary on the
subject you will be human, for the reit-
Grafton of this one fact, and America S
protest against it, will probably occur
daily for the next two months"
There are other features in clothes
that can be discussed without heated ar
gument There is the drapery of the
skirt, as an example. The drapery goes
upward in front in the oriental manner,
or it goes upward in the back in the Vic
torian manner. Each Of these fashions
require its own type of figure, making
them more popular than eyer.

PLoW EARLY FOR WHEAT

When early blowing produces a
yield of 14.9 bushels of wheat over
a period of twelve years as against a
yield of 81 bushels on late plowed
land it will pay the farmer to find a
way to early pillow at least part of
his wheat ground, according to Sup
erintendent C. R. Weeks of the Fort
Hays Experiment Station.
Superintendent Weeks says, "This
difference of So bushels in favor of
early blowing is certainly worth
while working for. The moisture
now in the ground can be conserved
by blowing early and killing weeds
and volunteer wheat and the mois-
ture conserved will be sufficient to
start the wheat this fall.
"The average results on the Fort
Hays Experiment Station show that
the yield the following year is in
direct proportion with the amount OF
moisture in the seed-bed at seeding
time. Using the weather records as
basis, next year will probably be q
dry one and if that is the case it will
pay to pillow Immediately after har-
vest"

HOW TO TEST YOUR BATTERY

Many motorists know that is ne
cessary to use hydrmeter syringe
to test a storage battery, but they do
no always know just how to use it.
1t is not hard to learn and it is
really worth while if a man would
save himself from battery repair
bill.
Through the courtesy of the local
Willard Storage Battery dealer, We
are able to publish the instructions
on the use of hydrometer as sent
out by the Willard Storage Battery
Company.
The hydrometer has scale grad
uation in the upper part of the tube
ranging from 1.150 to 1900 with
.005 graduations and reads correctly
at 70 degrees fahrenheit. A fully
charged cell should read about 1890
and completely discharged cell
should read about 1.150 specific
gravity, both of which are marked by
a red line on the scale.
The Hydrometer test should be
made before distilled water is added.
If distilled water is added and then
the test is made, the reading will not
be correct.
Maka tho foot fN11nue.
/, Remove vent plug from top Of
cell.
2. Force the air out of the hydro
meter syringe by squeezing the
rubber bulb.
g. Insert rubber tube through the
vent plug hole into the electro
lyte, or battery solution.
4. Release the bulb and draw up
sufficient electrolyte into the
glass tube to float the hydro
meter.
5. See that the hydrometer floats
freely, touching neither top,
bottom or sides.
6. Move the hydrometer syringe so
that the level Of the electrolyte
in the glass tube is on the level
of the eye.
T. Read the point on the hydro
meter scale which appears level
with the top of the electrolyte.
8. Then force the electrolyte back
into the cell from which it was
removed.
1t is advisable to rinse out the hydro
meter syringe with water as the
electrolyte will in time destroy the
containing case.
In some cars the battery is so
placed that it is difficult or impossi-
bic to hold the syringe in an upright
position over the battery. Under
such circumstances pinch the rubber
tube with the left hand so that the
battery solution will not run out of
the hydrometer. Then lift the hydro
meter out and away from the car
and hold it upright to take the read
ing. Be careful not to release the
rubber tube until it is again placed
over the hole in the top of the cell.
1--WE will be glad at any time" said
Mr.. Wess Kidd of the Willard Ser
vice Station, ito show any car owner
just how to take a hydrometer read
ing of his battery or we will be glad
to do it ourselves for him if he will
call"
