1t is evident that blouses and smocks
are aspiring to rival evening frocks
and the chances are that they are GO
Ing to succeed. There is no end to
the fanclful ways In which they are
made and nothing is too extrayagant
In the way of trimming them. For din
ner and theater wear they have adj
vantages and they appear in brilliant
and light colors, and in combinations
of two colors in materials, with dec
orations that call into play many adj
ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the
apron blouse and the smock have u
gay future ahead of them.
Georgette crepe, chiffon and net
with chantllly and gold-run laces new
ly recruited In their company are the
filmy mediums In which evening
blouses are made. Worn with skirts
of black satin they achieve a toilette
that may be worn with assurance.
Among color combinations, emer-
aid or even more vivid greens with
black are distinctive. Copper colored
crepe with gold lace, champagne with
black embroidery, peacock blue and
light green show the fondness for vir-
lie colors. There is a new sort of dec
grafton that looks like the finest bead
work done In many colors. But 1t Is

for the blouse which is to be worn In
the evening, aud narrow bands of dark
fur find themselves placed to the best
advantage on lace and georgette.
Two pretty examples of the mode are
shown here. In one of them crepe
de chine appears with satin In an odd,
original model with woodbine leaves
In silk and beads, embroidered on the
satin. 1t has an apron at the front,

that she wants one kind of fabric, one

It seems that every woman wants a
velvet gown, in addition to the satin
frock for which there has been uni
versal demand. II seems that the
shops saw this wave Of demand rolling

turers were prepared for II.

best suited to their purposes. These
are used for afternoon and evening
dresses. The heavier grades Of vel
veteen win answer for suits. but the
more flexible stuffs are liked for every
thing and chiffon velvets are In such
demand that they bring very high
prices. The best grades Of velveteen
are by no means cheap. BY way OF

is the sort Of home that will keep
the boys and girls on the farm and will
enable the owner to retain the services
Of his employees, which Is an advan-
tage that should not be overlooked In
these days of scarcity of help on the
farm.
A good home, one In which his family
can enjoy living. is the best investment
any man can make. whether he be
farmer. business man or an employee.
The money invested In home pays
dividends In comfort and happiness,
two things that are well worth spend

There now Is great era Of home
building. Many thousands Of families,
In cities, towns and rural sections,
alike, are building homes. And they
win never regret the step.

home contains all the comforts and
conveniences that will be found In the
average city home. The reason the
farm home of ten or fifteen years ago
did not have running water and electric
light and power was because they were
not obtainable. But that is not true
now. Both running water, hot and
cold, and electric lights are becoming
part Of the equipment of the homes on
the farms, as the gas engine has solved
the problem Of power for these con-
veniences.
Comfort-giving and labor-saving home
equipment are just as much a part Of
the modern home as the roof or the
floors. No one in city would live in
a house that did not have water, or
light, either gas or electric. They go
with the home. The cost of individual
electric light and water plants up to
few years ago was prohibltlye for
most farmers. But American inven-
ton has changed things on the farm.

Few Presidents Rich.

The Roosevelt fortune was different,
moreover, In being mainly an Inherited
fortune. It's possessor may have added
10 r. I'm his lifetime, but, as In the
case Of other presidents, most of his
personal earnings In a period Of forty
years OF public life were absorbed In
the support Of his family. No other
president has ever enjoyed such adj
vantages Of remunerative publicity as
Mr.. Roosevelt, and besides his salary
from official positions his income from
his books and from editorial work
must have been large. Yet 1t is a
fair Inference that IL these had' been
the sole sources of his support he
would have died poor man, as Cleve-
land did, and most of their predeces-
sors in the White House.
This has been the common financial
fate of presidents, and the example
of Mr.. Roosevelt probably merely
proved the rule that the Office Of pres
ident is not economically productive In
any logical proportion to its exalted
state and onerous political qualifica

CHEAPER FOOD IN NEAR
FUTURE is PERKS PROPHECY

Cheaper food in the near future
was predicted by Chai-~an Peek,
Of the Department OF Commerce In
dustrial Board, as a result of q con-
ference with Food Administration
officials in New York. Mr.. Peek
said there had been general mis-
understanding of a recent stale
ment by Mr.. Hoover that wheat
might go to $3.50 a bushel, and add
ed that the billion dollar grain APP
preparation was made by Congress
to enable the public to get wheat
products at reasonable prices as well
as to make good the guarantee to
the producer.
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr..
Peek said, reasonable prices of other
products could be expected, because
wheat was the barometer of the
food trade.

Reasonable Grounds for Estimating
That Influenza Has Cost the Lives
of Six Million Persons.

Though estimates of deaths over the
whole world from any single epidemic
are very difficult to form, there seem
to be reasonable grounds for believing
that some 100000 persons have per-
ished of influenza and pneumonia dur
ing the last comparatively few weeks
Business has been interfered with by
the epidemic in every country In the
world, and enormous losses both in
earning power and in trade have been
suffered. The cost of the influenza

colossal does not admit of doubt.
This plague, then, generally regarded
with equanlmity, is, it would SEEM hve
times more deadly than war II has
been estimated that the war caused the
death of 2O,000O00 persons in four and
one-half years, writes a physician In
the London Times. In the same pc
riod at its epidemic rate influenza
would have killed 10S,000OOO. The
visits of the raiding Gothas to Lon
don were but as summer shower

which we have Just received. The air

JUSTICE CARROLL IN

Chief Justice John d. Carroll, Of
the Court of Appeals, one Of the
three active candidates for the
Democratic nomination for Cover
nor, is the first Of those in the field
to come out with a ringing indorse-
ment of President Wilson's policies
and the League of Nations and for a
State Democratic convention before
the primary. He gave out letter
Sunday to Chairman Charles A
Hardin, of the Democratic State
4 Central and Executive Committees
in which he suggested that the chair
man call the committees to meet al
an early date to determine on the
question of an ante-primary con
vention. The platform of principles
he said, should be promulgated be
fore the primary so that the people
of the State and the candidates ma!

The Strassburu Clock.

A correspondent writes that it Is
not at every hour that the procession
of the twelve apostles makes the round
of the famous clock at Strassburg,
says a London paper. That takes
place only at midday by middle Euro
pean time. The quarters of each hour
are struck by the figures of child, a
young man, an adult man, and an old
man in their order, while an effigy Of
Death appears and strikes each full
hour. Many marvellous astronomical
phenomena are also shown on the
clock, which automatically regulates
itself at midnight sn the last day of
each year. 1t is not generally known,
by the way, that model of this unique
timepiece can be seen any day by Lon
doners in the Horniman museum at
Forest Hill.
