Two models are shown above that
will be particularly interesting to
young women who must be QUILTED
now for school or college. The smart
suit at the left foretells the cool days
of autumn with n collar and scarf of
angora, and has an original feature or

skirt is wider and shorter than those
that appeared in the spring and has
n wide, overlapping seam. down the

The blouse at the right, of fine white

and split at he sides. A wider band
of braid across the back panel empha-
sizes the fact that 1t is longer than the
front, and the long fringed scarf slips
through straps set OF at each side.
These. and n plain belt that buttons in
the middle of the back, are new details
of making that are clever and attrac-

A blue suit 1t the right of the pic
ture follows closely the style that has
been so successful during the summer,
with plain skirt and jacket with vest

those that hesitate to grow shorter.
The collar and cuffs are ornamented
with a braid that Stimulates embroi-

Few Price Drops Not Enough.

In a few foodstuffs the prices had de-
clined. but in nothing like the proportion
in which the supply had increased. For
example, the stock of canned tomatoes
had increased 1O2 per cent. and yet the
price had declined only % cents per
dozen cans. In some cases there had
been the usual result of an increase of
price following a decrease of supply, but
in almost every instance the increase of
price had been disproportionate to the
decrease in stock.

Sinister Influences at Work.

have Spoken today chiefly of measures
of imperative regulation and legal COM
pnlsion, of prosecutions and the sharp
correction of selfish processes; and these
no doubt are necessary.
But there are other forces that we may
count on besides those resident in the
department of Justice. We have just
fully awakened to what has been going
on and to the influences, many of them
very selfish and sinister, that have been
producing high prices and imposing an
intolerable burden on the mass of our
people.
To have brought it all into the open
will accomplish the greater part of the
result we seek.
1 appeal with entire confidence to
our producers. our middlemen and our
merchants to deal fairly with the peo-
pie. 1t is their opportunity to show
that they comprehend. that they in

the public interest sincerely at heart.

There are many things that ought

of wages and conditions of labor and
other things even more far-reaching,
and I. for one, am ready to go into
conference about these matter with
any group of my fellow countrymen

Central Longitudinal Line
of the United States Runs
Through State of Kansas

Discussing the frequently used term
middle West" an American writer
remarks that the territory SO desig-
mated might more reasonably be called
the middle East" The central longi-
tudinal line of the United States
passes through Kansas not far from
Topeka. On one side of the line, geo.
graphically speaking, lies the true
West; on the other the true East, and
the eastern side includes what is or
dinarily called the middle West"
whereas the geographical middle
West" would cover the region of the
Rocky mountains. The expression
originated on the eastern seaboard,
just when or how it would perhaps be
difficult to discover, and seems in the
beginning to have been patronizing
phrase indicating that, compared with
the older cultural condition of the
states bordering the Atlantic, the near
er states toward the west were we'll
meaning but somewhat backward, al
though nothing like SO lacking in the
amenities as those younger states
which were growing up still nearer the

the development of the nation, and the

many people think is really a geo.

Why the Tree Leaves
Turn Red When Chilly
Autumn Days Return

An examination of the withered
leaves of the autumn foliage at the
time of their turning red shows that
they contain more sugar and less
starch than in midsummer. Leaves of
evergreens, however, lose their red
tints with the return of the warm sea-
son, and reassume their green color.
In these plants. e., the holly and ivy
the sugar of the leaf is transformed
into starch in springtime. From these
observations two differences can be
drawn-hrst, that the red colOring sub
stances are probably of the nature Of
the glucoses, being in most cases COM
pounds of fannie substances with SD
gar; second, the chief physical condi-
lions for the formation of the red color
are sunshine, which, on the one hand,
enhances the assimilation and produc-
ton of sugar, and, on the other hand,
quickens the chemical process that
leads to the formation of the coloring
matter, and, furthermore, low tenn
perature, which prevents the trans
formation of the sugar into starch. In
other words, the red tints of autumn
are the direct product of the meteor
illogical conditions prevailing during
that season.. e., sunshine and low
temperature.

Recreation, as Well as
Relaxation, Is Necessary
to the Happiness of All

We need breathing spells in life's
bigger issues just as we need them IN
ont routine work. No one may work
continuously without some period OF
relaxation. and in the same way no
one may bear up under heavy RESPONSE
bilities unless he is able at times to
forget them, observes the Charleston
News and Courier. That is why recrea-
ton as we'll as relaxation is necessary
to the happiness of us all. There is
something within US, something that
calls to us, as it were.in no uncertain
tones to lay down our problems occa-
sionally and try to divert our minds
from them. If we are forced to live
with those big crushing responsible
ties, that weigh us down at every turn,
that are never far away from us, that
keep step with us in our daily walk,
we shall miss much of the better,
brighter part of life. Every one has
the right to live his own life in the
way which he thinks will be best for
him, and it is hard blow of fate
which robs him of that right. Yet this
is done more often in life than we
realize, and one of the worst of our
disappointments is to be forced to sur
render the privilege of controlling our
own lives as far as it is in our human
power to do so. Because certain re-
sponsibilities are forced upon us we
are often compelled to abandon the
road which stretches so invitingly
ahead and to seek another path,
rough and hard to walk upon, full Of
obstacles and barren of those things
that perhaps have meant the very wine
of life to us.

Britain's Prime Minister
Is Nominated by Sovereign
and Organizes Government

The premier, or prime minister Of
Great Britain, is nominated by the
reigning sovereign. The king sends
in the name of the leader of the party
just successful at the polls and to
that extent the appointment is die
tated by the vote of the people. The
sovereign appoints the prime minister
to form a cabinet and organize the
government. The appointment of pre-
mier does not have to be confirmed
by parliament, but no prime minister
could carry on the government of the
country for any length of time who
did not possess the confidence Of the
house of commons. He selects his coll
leagues or other members of the cab
met, and his resignation dissolves the
ministry.

About Poultry Feeding

The high prices of grain this past
year have caused many poultry people
to try different feeds and feeding
from what might be called standard
feeding.
From reports reaching the Pennsyl-
vania department of agriculture and
the observations of the poultry ex-
perts in its employ, these experiments
in new or abbreviated feeding have
mostly been a failure and have re-
suited in much poultry having made
an Improbable growth and being puny
and stunted.
A notable exception is the feeding
of boiled oats, which feed, previously
used by only a few poultry keepers,
has become very popular, particularly
among the larger poultry keepers hay

rial schools flourished in many college
towns, putting a greater burden on ia
cilities; several had their buildings
completely refurnished for training in
the mechanical or electrical trades
The talk now is of reconstruction, but
certainly the word had greater force
then, when plants were remodeled
almost overnight, and put to uses
never before conceived.
Besides these things which are fairly
well known, there are other items no
less important. One of our greatest
medical institutions gave fifty men,
bers of its staff to the army, and they
were occupied exclusively with medi-
cal research. Teachers in allied SUBJ
also turned over to the government,
and it seemed as if the school had
become only memory.
One university in the far West was
so foresighted as to. give instruction
in the problems of reconstruction and
another held lectures for soldier and
civilian alike, treating the wars prob
lens in a simple way for those who
wished to understand and learn. All
this was in addition to becoming one
of the many armed camps into which
the colleges changed, and education
as conceived of under ante bellum
schedules became almost a nonentity.
The women's colleges, too, joined
their efforts. Besides war chests,
from which one well-known female
college drew $4,000, they maintained
ambulances in France, and sent driv-
ers for them. Beds in hospitals of
France were endowed, and summer
training camps for nurses were es-
tablished, to be ready against the time
when a scarcity should be felt. Vas
sar's farm unit showed that women
could till the soil and this organiza-
top was the forerunner of the wom-
ans land army.
Furthermore, every college has a
record of which it can be proud, in
the various drives for funds. Local
activities, as entertaining soldiers on
leave, were fostered, and in many in
stances entire college buildings were
turned over to some welfare organiza-
ton.
To all this effort there is a reaction.
Industry now is counter-attacking it
through what is called reconstruction.
Under the immense strain industry's
machinery deteriorated; it was built
for peace-time purposes. and war rid
died IT. The colleges, too, underwent
the same experience. From the quiet
surroundings tradition gives them,
they became bustling hives, without
ever a pause until it all was over.
Not until then could they plan for the
future.
