In the passing show of blouses
there are many of dark geOrgette
crepe, some of them having a lighter
color introduced in vestees or panels
or emplacements. Occasionally the
dark crepe is made up over an under
bodice in a light color, which it does
not veil entirely, leaving a chemisette,
or vest, and at least part of the collar
of the light color uncovered. For the
blouse of dark crepe is not usually
simple affair; its regular business in
life being to tone up plain skirt and
manage a semidresS toilette without
other help.
But the blouse of dark georgette
shown in the picture is one of those
that may be classed as simple, al
though it has several distinguishing
new style features. 1t reveals a flavor
that comes from the far East in the
sleeves and neck-which are inspira-
tions of the mandarin coat, and it
merits as much consideration as its
more complicated rivals, for it en-
bodies fine style. 1t is very good look
ing This blouse is not made over an
underbodice in contrasting color, but
color contrast is introduced by means
of parallel rows of beads that extend

Small eggs, dirty eggs, old eggs or
eggs which have been kept at high
temperature for any length of time are
the kinds not to select for incubation
according to a circular prepared By
the poultry husbandry department OF
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Not all eggs from the best breeding
stock are good for Matching purposes.
Often the eggs are small, uneven in
shape or poor in shell texture. Small
eggs should never be incubated, as
they do not hatch well, and pullets
from them often lay undersized eggs.
The small egg is not wanted upon the
market. The two ounce egg is the
standard in weight.
Since the egg begins to incubate
when it reaches q temperature of 6S
degrees it should be kept below that
point. From 45 to 65 degrees is the
range of temperature permissible for
eggs that are being kept for Matching.
Eggs should not be kept any longer
than is absolutely necessary. If they
are turned frequently and are kept at
the correct temperature they may be
kept for two weeks before being
placed in the incubator, but it is not
advisable to try to keep them for that
long a time.

The work to be done in the recon-
struction Of devastated countries is
appalling-or would be If the war
that devastated them had not also so
augmented the strength and re-
sources of the Red Cross that it can
undertake any task of mercy. In ev-
cry direction almost, its help is need
ed. The ending of the war has not
lessened the need for foreign relief
work and the task of reconstruction
is going to be long one. But if Amer
lean people stand by the Red Cross,
and the best American talent and eX-
ecutive ability continues to be dedi-
Gated to it, we may live with the COM
forting assurance that America is do
ing its great part to alleviate human
misery.
Under the stress of the war work
ing organization has been built up,
having the benefit of experience be-
hind it, and knowledge Of the best
way of doing things. Now that we
have such an efficient organization, it
may be depended upon to do the relief
work at home and abroad, that must
be done. The character of the work

Hogs Contract Colds and
Pneumonia-Caution Urged

Trouble often develops among hogs
at this season of the year in the form
of cold and pneumonia, according to
DR.. Robert Graham, professor of ami
NAL pathology at the University of
Illinois. Doctor Graham gives warn
ing that when pigs of all ages and
sizes are allowed to pile up at night
in warm shed some are likely to
come out steaming in the morning and
that the cold winds and frosty atmos-
phere will have a bad effect on them.
He recommends the following precau-
tions: Hog houses and feeding places,
runways, fences and sheds, should be
thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with
8 per cent water solution of COM
pound of cresol Gu. S. P.) or its rec
ogniZed equivalent. Quicklime should
be scattered freely about the lots, af-
ter they have been Aaked clean of
cobs and manure. Wallows should be
drained and fenced off, all small holes
filled and large fields where the infec-
ton prevails should be cultivated.

will change somewhat as time passes.
Just now peoples in desperate straits
are being relieved. In the south Of
Europe, Serbia, the region south Of
the Danube, Armenia, starvation and
disease face populations despoiled Of
their homes and industries, and re-
duced by thousands upon thousands Of
victims of the war. Their immediate
requirements of food, medicine and
shelter must be taken care of and
some provision made to educate their
youth in agriculture and other means
of support. And this is only one cor
ner of the earth that cries for succOr
at the hands of the Red Cross. In the
Holy Land, as a result of the war,
one third of the population of Lebanon
died of disease and hunger.
Things will not be again as they
were before the great war. We shall
help more those people Of other coun-
tries, less fortunate than ours, who
are not able to help themselves, and
those at home whose fate is hard. The
Red Cross has shown what it can do
in q great emergency-the tasks be-
fore it lengthen, and they are great
undertakings.

IfHe Came Back Now

If he came now,
My heart would be like once quiet
street.
Hung with gay lanterns on a fete night,
wild
With singing! And my heart would be
child
Sleepily waking to a kiss, then finging
Sleep from it, springing
With all too ready feet,
Out of the night, into the world again.
And finding that it's toys were all once
more
There where it left them, waiting on the
floor.
To be played with again. My heart would
be
An opened book filled full with wttchery.
Filled, too, with pain,
An opened book that had been left too
long
Upon dusty shelf. It would be a song
In a young mouth. And it would be buds,
too,
Opening under the moon, and shivering at
the dew,
But liking it, And it would be a fame,
Red in the night. I used to be glad when
he came
But not so very glad-because thought
That I would always have him Then
war caught
Him up from me, and bore him ont
To be where danger is; and killed my
doubt,
My hesitation and half fears. All now
L would run to welcome him. if he came
now!

from the round neck to the waiStline.
A handsome lage blossom is outlined
in embroidery silk at the left front,
where it suggests corsage flower; 1t
matches the crepe in color. This is an
item that distinguishes this particular
blouse, for in nearly all models that
are embroidered the design appears on
each side.
Among the new models in blouses
there are a few high-neck designs; for
not everyone can wear even the be-
coming round neck and Chinese col
lar styles. 1t is in these high-neck
blouses that light colors are intro
duced in vestees and collars, the
standing collar of the light georgette
sometimes embellished with little em-
brofdery in the color of the dark crepe,
or hemstitched with it. Very small
buttons, covered with the dark crepe
over a foundation of satin to match,
make q charming finish. They have
nothing to do with the fastening Of
the blouse-this is accomplished by
small snap fasteners.

Little City, Picked for Pershing's
Headquarters, Is Now
Americanized.
HOTELS ALWAYS CROWDED
Hurrying Officers Everywhere While
War Was on-Pershing Lived in
CastIe-Founded on Place of
Strategic Value.

Chaumont, France.-This little city
Of the Haute Marne is the home of
the general headquarters of the Amer
lean expeditionary forces.
Here lives the commander in chief,
and in the buildings of the French gar
rison are housed the officers of the
general staff and all the auxiliary or
ganizations that go with 1.-THE nerve
center of the army. A city of normally
about $4,000 inhabitants Chaumont lies
on the Eastern railway lines, 1853 miles
east Of Paris. 1t was formerly the
capital Of Bassigny, and is now the
capital of the department of the
Haute Marne.
Like most Of the older cities of
France, Chaumont seems to have been
founded on site of strategic value 1t
crowns a high plateau between the
Marne and the Suize, and from the
walls and towers of the old city is a
wonderful view of the valley of the
Marne, the river here being hardly as
wide as the Marne canal that flows be-
side it between it's poplar-bordered
banks. Northward over the narrow
vale of the Suize the view takes in a
wide sweep Of rolling, forest-crowned
hills.
General headquarters was removed
from Paris here in September of last
year, Chaumont being selected after a
careful search of available locations.
It lies in the center of what was the
American training area, every camp,
as we'll as the Toul sector, in which
the American forces first saw battle,
and all the lines from Toul eastward
where we were located, being within
reach by motor.

Explorer Says North Pole
Weather Not as Pictured

Another cherished illusion is dis
pelled and relegated to the junk heap
of vivid misconceptions that have sud-
denly faded. Explorer Vilhjalmur Stef-
ansson, who has just returned from a
five years cruise in the regions around
the North pole, tells us that the wealth
er up there is by no means the frigid
terror we have pictured in our minds.
1t is much cooler in central Siberia
than at Herschel island. Even near the
geographical pole the climate never
gets really bad, although the mercury
occasionally runs down to 60 below
zero. Indeed, it was so mild and COM
patible with physical comfort that he
usually disrobed on the porch of his
igloo and passed the evening in his
underwear, resting at night in his
sleeping bag. His underwear, by the
way, was of reindeer,s skin with the
fur inside. He has explored about
25OO00 square miles amid all kinds of
weather, and claims to have suffered
hardships, until his return to civil

in May last to beautiful chateau
about five miles from the town. Here.
in a great rambling castle, situated in
the Marne valley among groves and
wide sunlit lawns, he lived with his

work there when not with the army
Chaumont itself has become almost
Americanized by the presence of the
headquarters. Its little hotels are al
ways crowded with officers. 1t has
been very hospitable to the American
occupation. Nearly every home with
a spare room is thrown open as q bill
let for officers and many of the finest
residences have been taken over en-
tirely by the hundreds of messes. In
many of them the officers have INSTALL

some cases central heating plants, and

nate or lacking in rank take their

WhV Wisconsin Is Known as
"Badger" State and Origin
of "SuCker" for Illinois

Wisconsin is called the Badger
state, not, as most people seem to
think, because the badger formerly
abounded there, for in the past Wis
consin was never a favorite home of
this little quadruped writes a corre-
spondent.
The familiar nickname originated
rather with the early settlement OF
southwestern Wisconsin, whose lead
mines attracted the first considerable
migration to Wisconsin. The hardy
lead miners who pushed into the por-
tion of the northwestern wilderness
intent on digging fortunes from the
earth with their picks were composed
in the main of two groups. One, made
up of men from southern Illinois and
further south, went down the Mis-
sissippi to their homes every VIM
ter and returned in the spring to la
Dor for another season; the other, COM
posed of miners from the Eastern
states, could not thus easily go home,
and so they "burrOwed in" for the
winter in rude shacks or huts, which
frequently were built after the fash
ion of dugoutS.
The men who went south for the
winter and returned in the spring were
given the name of suckers" from the
similarity of this practice with
that of the well-known fish of the
Mississippi, Rock and other Western
streams.
The men who wintered in the lead
mines were called badgers" They
were the first permanent settlers in
the lead mines north of the Wiscon-
sin line, and thus the name became
associated with the state.
Thus did the people of Wisconsin
and Illinois gain the popular nick
names of Badger" and Sucker" by
which they have ever since been
known

League of Nations Advocated
To 0bviate Future Conflicts

This great world war has taught us
that the most urgent, the most neces-
sary, the most fundamentally religious
duty now before US, is the devfsing and
adopting of some method other than
war for settling of disputes that are
bound to arise between nations. I'm
less this can be done, says Chris
tan Herald, we can never be sure that
at any moment the results of gem
erations of preaching and teaching
may not be consumed in the fires of
war. The idea of league of nations
is no longer the mere vision of seers,
the dream of prophets and the intellec-
tual plaything of theorists. 1t is to-
day one of the most concrete and un-
avoidable issues in the field CT prac-
teal craftsmanship.

Memorial Planned to Dogs
Sacrificed in Gas Tests

Prompted by girls of the chorus at
the Hippodrome and indorsed by other
women, and, it is said, by the New
York club and the Toy Dog club, a
movement is under way to set up a
memorial to the dogs whose lives were
sacrificed in experimental work for the
army. 1t is stated that the chemical
warfare division of the war depart
ment used on an average of so dogs a
month in testing gases and protection
devices. 1t was suggested that fund
be raised for the erection of a dogs
drinking fountain in a park to bear a
tablet explaining the service done for
humanity by the dogs.

What TO Feed the Child.
All, what would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
We would dread the desert behind US,
Worse than the dark before.

VHdl W WV shS S'''S'
For normal baby, with a normal
mother, the first few months or year
there is nothing better to do than
feed it with natures food, mothers
milk. Orange juice and water for re-
freshment will cool the swollen gums
and give great relief when teething.
If the child has taken prune juice,
unsweetened, and orange juice occa-
sionally the digestive tract will be In
good working order. Then in the Sec
ond year scraped apple or other fruits
like pears and peaches if well ripened,
may be safely given in very small
quantities. A drink of cool water
should be given frequently. How many
worrying babies, who cannot tell what
they want would be made comfortable
by frequent drinks of pure cool water.
All changes in a child'S diet should
be made very carefully and when any
new food is introduced give it in small
quantities, a teaspoonful or two being
sufficient.
Baked potato is food particularly
adapted for a young child's food. Use
q little milk with a grain or two OF
salt, then cream and butter may be
added. After a child has become ,ac-
customed to potato teaspoonful OF
finely mashed peas may be given, as
well as carrot, spinach and any vege-
table not too woody.
A childs digestion is so much more
rapid than an adults that they need
TO be fed oftener and in small guam
titles.
A child fifteen months old will need
some such diet as to food and time
as the following: At seven or eight
q breakfast cereal, bread or toast and
a cupful of milk; at noon an egg, po-
tato, one other vegetable, bread and
fruit, either juice or scraped fruit.
Five or six, milk and rice or bread,
and at ten a cupful or bottle of milk.
The cereals should be varied so that
they may become accustomed to like
q variety.
The chief thing to remember in
cooking cereals for children is to cook
them long enough. Serve with good
top milk and no sugar. In early youth
the child gets all the sugar he needs
from the fruit he eats. One good rea-
son for having little people eat alone
Is that foods that must be denied
them are not put temptingly before
them.

Field for Treasure Seekers.

With the evacuation of French and
Belgian territory by the Huns Il won
derful new field is opened up for the
treasure seeker. When the invading
hordes first 0verran the country in
1919 many of the residents buried
their valuables before seeking safety
in flight. During the four years and
more of war many of these families
have become separated and numerous
members have died. In many instances
the secret of the buried property has
beeu lost. In London companies al
ready are being promoted to seek the
hidden gold.
