How BIacky the Crow Helped
BOWSer.

When Blacky the Crow said to him
self that ne guessed he would take
pity on Bowser and help him out of
his trouble he knew that he could do
it without much trouble to himself
Perhaps if there had been very much
trouble in it, Blacky would not have
been quite SO ready and willing. Then
again. perhaps it isn't fair to Blacky
to think that he might not have been
WiiiinS. Even the most selfish people
are sometimes ndly and unseifish
Biacky knew just where the neares,
mouse was You can always trus;
hi"cHy TO know not only where every
house is within sight of the places
he frequents. but all about the peo-
pie who live in each house. Blacky
makes it his business to know these
things. He could, if he would. tell you
which houses have terrible guns in
them and which have not. 1t is by
knowing such things that Blacky
manages to avoid danger
IF that dog knows enough to fol-
low me, I'll take him where he can
at least get something to eat" NUT
tered Blacky. 1T won't be far out OF
my way anyway, because. if he has
any sense at all. | won't have to &C
all the way over there.
SO Blacky spread his black wings
and disappeared over the treetops in
the direction of the nearest farm
house Bowser watched him go and
whined sadly, for somehow it made
him feel more lonesome than before
But for one thing he would have
gone back to his bed of hay in the
corner of the sugar camp. That one
thing. was hunger. 1t seemed to Bow
ser that his stomach was SO empty
that the very sides of it had fallen
in. He just must get something to eat.
So, after waiting a moment or two,
Bowser turned and limped away
through the trees. and he limped in
the direction which Blacky the Grow
had taken. You see he could still hear
Blacky's voice calling Cav, cav,
cav" and somehow it made him feel
better, less lonesome you know, to be
within hearing of a voice he knew.
BoWser had to go on three legs, for
one leg had been so hurt in the fall
over the bank that he could rot put
his foot to the ground. Then, too. he
was very.very stiff from cold and the
wettng he had received the night be-
fore. So poor Bowser made slow work
of it. and BIacky the Crow almost lost
patience waiting for him to appear.
AS soon as Bowser came in sight
Blacky gave what was intended for.
CHEEKY cav, and then headed straight
for the place he had started for that
morning, giving no more thought to

The Persistency of Fringe.


Fringe was doomed some six months
ago.
At least. fashion prophets said it
was. and discriminating women rather
avoided it because it had reached the
status of those fashions that Guido
themselves in too great popularity
Familiarity had bred contempt. And
if we had frock with fringe on it
we took it to the dressmaker to have
surgical operation performed on the
fringe. and we marveled how some
women could be SO lacking in. dis
elimination as to buy one of the
countless ready made frocks that
were thus adorned
But fringe came back into first ia
vor. 1t had to. And the reason why
is because fringe is one of those de
tails of dress that seem most indica-
tive of the spirit of triumph and vic
tory. We cannot imagine a great tri-

broidery. done in silk or wool or in
fine braid in black. finishes the bot

neck is the most popular cut at the
present time, also the most becoming

If desired, this dress may be made
of satin and veiveteen. or a plain and
plaid fabric combina ton may be
chosen.

Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW YORK, January 1S.-Paris is
piquant. Bromide statement, that.
But her piquancy in apparel is so
daring that it often creates revolt
among the conservatives, who do not
always see the point Of French
creations.
Paris dislikes the obvious. She
finds that the American buyers are
not always willing to accept her de-
partures from the Commonp place, and
she places the blame on the American
public. which she considers TOO practi-
ca TO enjoy adventures in costun1ery
The French woman likes nothing
better than to wear something that
creates attention. 1t need not be in

FASHIONS

There seems to be no getting away
from fabric combinations in the de-
velopment of clothes for women. 1t
is true no one has made a strenu-
Gus effort to do away with this vogue,
although an occasional merchant
voices his regret at its continuance.
because it encourages the home dress
maker to make things over and has
tendency to decrease the demand for
ready to-wear clothes.
For three seasons two color or two
brio combinations have led the style

children. and the coming spring sea

.I'LAN FOR GREATER
SUPPLY OF WATER
MEETING HELD AT IDAHO FALLS
ATTENDED BY FIVE HUN
DRIED DELEGATES.
Discuss Ways and Means of Securing
Sufficient supply of Water for
All Time and for the Reclams-
ton Of Other Projects

Idaho Falls. - Two meetings held
here ON November a, following the
adjournment Of the two days recla-
nation Convention held in Salt Lake
and attended by delegates from thir-
ieen western states. was attended by
more than 500 delegates and interested
water users of southern Idaho. nation
al. state and reclamation officials.
The meeting was for the purpose of
receiving the report of the committee
appointed by the water users Of south
ern Idaho TO check up the present de-
crease and learn the amount of water
that would be needed by the irriga-
ton districts now in operation, and
for future needs of those districts, and
10 devise ways and means of securing
sufficient supply of water for all
time and for the reclamation of other
projects.
The first meeting heard the report
which called for 744.625 acre feet.
which can be obtained only by storing
the surplus water of the river and
building dams for that purpose, and
recommended that reservoir sites at
Jackson lake, Henry lake, Fall River
meadows, Island park and American
Falls be secured.
The reservoir at American Falls.
which would cost approximately $780,
100000; was decided upon as the most
favorable site In order that the lower
valley country embraced within the
Twin Falls, ,Aiinidoka and the pro-
posed Rruneau tracts might be taken
river valley country be served by the
stored water in Jackson lake, which
now goes to Twin Falls.
1t was also recommended that the
upper valley country cooperate in
every possible way toward the build
ing of the American Falls reservoir
and exchange water rights with the
upper country, taking Jackson lake
water. Ii was explained In detail that
there is no disposition TO take from
the old settler any OF his vested rights,
but that the object would be TO pro-
rect, first, the ,old established water
rights. and, second. TO supply addi-
tional waiter to those projects already
under operation; ana which need an
additional supply and use the surplus
for the development of the Bruneau
tract of some 100000 acres.
The plan of finance was gone into
and 1t was proposed that each organi-
cation would enter into contract
with the reclamation service for stor-
age capacity, agreeing to advance the
funds as required by the reclamation
service.
