There is. no such thing as dull mo-
ment among the new spring blouses,
now entering in gay companies, the
shops and stores. There is SO great a
variety of styles in them that it is
not easy to pick out features that are
characteristic of the season. But there
is one item that is so universal in
them that it passes without notice-is
taken as a matter Of course. That is
the sheerness of the materials used.
Except for the plain and regulation
shirtwaists of silk or linen, or cotton,
there are only diaphanous stuffs i'm
blouses, with georgette crepe far in
the lead of all others.
Besides this feature of the styles.
there is preponderance of round
neck models, and many of these fas-
ten on the shoulder. The narrow
shoulder yoke remains great favor
tie. Small. round crochet and small
pearl buttons are favored for fastening
and trimming; hemstitching, tucks and
very narrow Val lace, for ornamental
ton on the light blouses.
Dark colors, and black, in georgette
are shown made up over white net or
lace, and the reverse of this, black
chantilly lace appears, made up over
flesh or white georgette. A good ex-

Old-time elegance, daintiness, quaint
ness-these are the things that make
themselves evident in those spring
frocks that are made of printed cot
tons or silks. Women have turned
again to clothes that are truthfuily de-
scribed as pretty. Not rich or snowy,
but just full of pretty touches, in color
and material and in style and aces
series. All the way from simple
porch dresses" to frocks for ali sorts
of afternoon wear. there are pretty
things in clothes made from new fab
RIGS.
In cotton, there are English prints,
percale, printed wolfe. cotton foulard
and lawns to be reckone0 with for
making the simple dresses that are so
naive and dainty. They provide many
lovely colors and are combined with
fine organdie in frocks that are charm
ing. Some of these fabrics are bor-
dered, as in times gone by, and these

Georgia State Champion Pig
Raiser Was | 1-Year- Old Boy;
Youngsters Start Hog Farms

Swine worth half million dollars
were raised by Georgia pig club mem
bers during 1918. Four years ago
there were no pig clubs in the state,
but under encouragement from the
College of Agriculture and the United
States department of agriculture 8,67S
boys in Georgia are now enrolled in
these organizations Their beneficial
effect on the swine industry of the
state may be Judged from summary
recently received by the department
from its pig club agent in Georgia.
Outstanding progress is reported as
follows:
1.-THE increase in final value Of hogs
raised by pig club boys in 1913 over
those in 1917 was more than SO per
cent Pig club boys won 70 ribbons
and $5O5 in prizes in the open ring at
two Georgia fairs. The increase in
number of pure-bred hogs raised by
pig club boys In 1918 over 1917 was
more than BOG per cent. The state
champion was the eleven-year-old son
of one-horse farmer who bought his
pig at an auction sale for $3.50. She
is worth $500 today. Six pig club
boys in one county will start hog
farms this year. All of them began

LAUGHING Is A
HEALTH TONIC
Makes More Forceful the Beat
Of the Heart

When the individual laughs the &C
ton is accomplished by deep, for
chile movement of the chest. This
deep movement increases the rapidity
of the roundabout flow of the scarlet
fluid, makes more forceful the beat of
the heart, observes an authority, and
by that means brings back the blood to
the lungs at q greater pace, and there
fore helps 20 accomplish quicker
Gourishment of the body and thus
brings mental reaction.
More than mental rest and benefits
to the health of the mechanism, good
laugh brings with it food for the emo
tional fabric. The physiological action
involved in a hearty laugh stimulates
the emotions and acts in the capacity
of an increased electric current in a
wire by whose force machines are
moved. The hairlike capillaries, so
strained and worked during the course
of busy day, become rapidly emptied
as laughter incites the emotional fibers'
action.
AS the immediate result, there comes
relief to the tubes in the form of a
freshened supply of food. The heavily
congested capillaries and the emotion
al fabric are stimulated, and the body
is enabled to generate new energy,
due to the emotional excitement caused
by laugh, and you feel regenerated
and capable of carrying on with added
force whatever work you are doing.

Wal Paper Has important
Effect on the Appearances

Wall paper is. wall paper whether II

professor Of architecture in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, urges
that people take into consideration the
effect of wall paper upon the appear
ance of the room.
Striped paper tends to make the
ceiling seem higher. If the ceiling is
TOO high, extending plain ceiling paper
down on the wall II TO Is inches will
make the ceiling appear lower. # the
ceiling paper is dropped there should
not be too great contrast in dark and
light between wall and ceiling paper.
Ceiling paper should usually be white,
ivory or cream.
If pictures are to be hung on the
wall the paper should be Of plain
color or have inconspicuous figures.

Who Would Not Agree That
Americanization of Hotel
Menu Would Help a Little?


Americanization of various things is
the. topic much discussed now, OBJ
serves Tavern Talk. We read of a
movement in industry to American
ize employees to increase efficiency.
This is timely; why not carry the idea
further at once and apply it in the
hotel industry?
A good beginning would be a move
ment to eliminate the practice of COM
piling menus, which are a combina-
ton Of meaningless French and dis
torted English. Why caviar canape,
when an English equivalent exists
Why not clam broth instead of bQuil-
lon? Why grilled when we mean
broiled? Norwegian sounds and looks
as well as Norvegienne, and means
something. Pommes julienne with
an English name would taste as
sweet; glace is a poor ending for
good sweet potatoes, while demi-tasse
is but the size of the cup, not what
1t contains.

For afternoon wear there are the
printed foulards in a very light, soft
weave, that are made up with plain
georgette crepe, or with organdie in
accessories. Organize collars and
collars and cuffs or neck frills are
lovely on them. Very fine tucks and
fine, narrow Val lace edging reveal
their perennial beauty and popularity
in these accessories. Velvet and other
ribbon girdles finish the engaging
story Of these frocks. ~
A modest cotton foulard, shown in

Daintiness.

Whatever rumors may be af1oat from
time to time about the complete dis

alarmed about them. For separate
neckwear of the daintiest kind will

are many frocks now made that have
no place for the bits of dainty chif-
fon and georgette and organdle that

If curtains, rugs and upholstery are
plain, figured paper may sometimes be
used. If rugs or curtains are figured,
plain paper should be used or the eff

The Oldest canal in the world, dating
