TRIBUTE TO ESKIMO SKILL
Explorer confesses Admiration a
Manner in Which the Native
IaIoo 10 Constructed.

In his -Four Years in the White
North" Donald B. Macmillan writes
the following appreciative passage,
with its tribute to craftsmanship and
orderliness:
; 1T is q pleasure to see an Eskimo
cut and handle snow. One cannot but
admire the skill and dexterity with
which he cuts on the surface, creaks
it out with his toe, lays it up on the
wall, bevels the edges, and thumps
it into place with his hand. 1 wonder
If there are any other people in the
world who attempt to build an arch
or dome without support? Starting
from the ground in a spiral from
right to left, the blocks mount high
er and higher, ever assuming more
horizontal position, until the last two
or three appear to hang in the air,
the last block locking the whole struc-
ture.
Entering a newly constructed igloo
seems like a vision of fairyland, the
light filtering through the snow beau
tiful ethereal blue; everything-the
bed, the two side platforms, the wall
absolutely spotless."

Delicate Mechanism

Despite it's scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute COMPETE
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only fraction. of a cent
Der pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?

direction would add to our efficiency

NOT MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE
SAINT With Facts, and Yet Re-
main Ignorant.

Some people think that ignorance Is
merely an accumulation of facts. But
that hypothesis reveals a lack of inn
aginatlon. Ignorance, any more than
knowledge. is not concerned with
facts. 1t Is concerned quite largely
with feeling, aud feeling is the prod
net of ones general intelligence.
The Huns had plenty of facts at
their disposal, but they were ignorant.
Their feeling was net intelligently dis
trihuted over certain areas of their ma
tional consciousness.
This is true, more or less Of all OF
us, Thomas l.. Mason writes in the
Outlook. When we are truly ignorant,
1t Is a case of arrested development In
certain directions. man who has
not brought up family may have at
his call all the statistics about fant-
lies. But he is truly ignorant in the
sense Of not being developed in the
feelings that intimate contact with
ones family produces.
To have knowledge Of particular
thing is simply to have come in con-
tact with It in such a manner that
ones feeling has been aroused about
it,
We acquire knowledge largely by
contemplation and meditation. But
the thing we are learning about must
impose itself upon us in such way
that we are forced to understand 1t
through our feelings and not our
minds.
There is nothing harder to overcome
than ignorance. II must be beaten to
a standstll We have done this to the
Huns. We must now conclude our
moral contract by bringing them into
contact'with the right things.

COLLEGE GIRL VS.. SHOP GIRL
Dress Taste Controversy Raging in
New EngIand-Shop Girls
Win First Point.

Boston, April 26.-Have shop girls
better taste in dress than college girls :?
This momentous question is the sub
ject of a heated controversy among
New England college girls. 1t started
when someone Ono one knows who)
declared that college girls show very
poor taste in selecting clothes, while
shop girls dress as anyone would ex-
pect college girls to do, and the aver
people out Of hundred would expect
a shop girl to dress.
President H. c. Bumpus of Tufts
College, here recently, made a test
by having 40 girls from Jackson col
lego choose some feminine article of
dress, several of which were arranged
on two table. On table No. were
articles of unusual quality, while on
table No. were a number of inferior
quality. The girls were told to select
an article from either table and as a
ored and inferior materials, in prefer
ence to better quality and more SUBJ
dued and conservative colors.
Another test was made when 20
shop girls were shown the goods and
told to choose what they themselves
would wear. Not one of them failed
to select the articles of best quality.
After the test, President Bumpus in
an address said:
Here is pathetic instance OF
where college education fails to edu-
cate"
Now the college girls have started
out to show the shop girls some points
in selecting articles of feminine dress
while the shop girls are going to try
to maintain the lead that they have
gained thru President Bumpus.

dressmakers introduced the short
tunic-blouse and the separate skirt.
This, they said to the women, will give
you all the chance for change that
your souls desire. Combine the gar
ments in a dozen different ways and
relieve yourselves from the oppression
of uniformity in dress.
So this spring. the one-piece frock,
with all its charAa and convenience
has acknowledge rival in the blouse
and skirt. The< sre no coats for
these latter day costumes, but there
are capes, curious capricious capes
that fiaunt the colors of the rainbow,
are made of all manner of materials
and have noisily pushed the top coat
and the fur cape to the top shelf of
obscurity.
Bright Colored Blouses.
Once upon a time. we thought it was
breaking the laws of artistic dressing
to wear bright colored blouse with
a somber skirt. Now we revel in the
combination. The brighter, the better.
we say. The woman of fashion
chooses a serviceable blouse for a
rainy day, a brilliant one for lunch
con, transparent one for the theater
or dinner or home. Women who plan
their wardrobes with care and preci-
sion order a half dozen blouses to one
skirt or they order three skirts and a
dozen blouses and call the outfit their
spring wardrobe. They do not bother
their heads about any other kind of
costumery. 1t is the simple life.
The sketch shows how Jenny. of
Paris. combines a tunic- blouse and a
plain skirt. The former is of coral
crepe de chine-no dimming of color
there. 1t is trimmed with biscuit
colored taffeta ribbon in a curious
way, for a necklace of the ribbon
shows against the bare flesh and drops
down to the waist. 1t is trimmed
with coral buttons. The girdle. which
is Of the ribbon, is trimmed with coral
ribbon embroidered in gold threads.
The skirt is of beige-colored cloth.
1t is also copied in Chinese Shantung.

New York.-We expect the one
piece frock at the first outburst of
spring 1t is a fashion which has re-
CURED thru several generations. But
today it has a rival. This is the sep
arate skirt to which are attached sew
era1 blouses, according to inclination,
the temperature of the day. and the
occasion.
1t is not only economy which spon-
sors for warm weather a costume that
is made up of two pieces; it is also
comfort and pleasure. The coat and
skirt do not satisfy the need for spring
costumery, nor do they give the kind
of pleasure that one gets from the
separate skirt with its infinite variety
of blouses.
After fashion decreed that the coat
was not to be removed in public, there
was not so much enthusiasm for it. 1t
is a necessary garment in the ward
robe, that is true, and it is rarely left
out of the fashions of any season, but
it does not offer to anyone who wears
it the exact kind of comfort that
comes from the thin blouse which
drops over the hips, and the separate
skirt which may be long and formal.
short and informal, of rough material
for bad weather. or of soft material
for the house.
The Chance for Change.
Only a strict adherence to the laws
of safety in dress causes women to
buy a one-piece costume or a coat and
skirt that is never varied turnout the
seasons. The dressmakers and the
fashion writers have pounded this
practice into the brains of the multi
tude. The American tailored suit was
the result of the newly established law
of fashion that women should keep to
one costume and not vary it with odds
and ends. with flotsam and jetsam.
