Legion Bazaar Is
 EnIistins Interest Of Bisbee Women

THE BAZAAR TO BE GIVEN by the L. A. Engle post of the American legion during the week of April at the Elks' hall has already enlisted the support of the women of the dis ttrict. Not only those who are identi- fled with the various committees can credit themselves with the success of the affair but the many women who have in their homes made bits of needlework, cakes and candies can share in the glory of it for glory it must be.
 The boys who went out to serve when the reed was great have a right to expect the support of those who stayed at home in comparative ease A tired back and befogged brain which may be ~1he aftermath Of the active program which the women have planned will be little compared to the sacrifice they made.

Sports Coat in
 Two Parts Is
 Paris FavOrite
BY CORA MOORE New York's Fashion Authority


 NEW YORK. March 27-Separate coats are unusually interesting this year, combining as they do a very certain chic with d distinctly practi- cal appeal.
 The new sports coats claim most interest. Here is a model adapted from a Bernard (Paris) importation of rust-cOlor tricotine with tan and rust-checked broadcloth used in the roll-back cuffs, in the belt and tabs and in edging the collar. The coat is in two parts. the top part being plain, fastening blindly up the center front. The skirt portion is moderate ly full and gathered all around. then it is attached to the top portion with little less fullness across the front than at the sides and back.
 The hat is a little turban shape of rust-colored taffeta with black wings arranged to form peaked crown, the accenting note to the cos tune.

How to Raise House Plants
 Successfully

The housewife need have no more withered house plants, if she will eX- ercise a moderate amount of judg- ment in their care.

 Remedy for Insects
 A remedy for the plant louse and the red spider is tablespoonful of eX- tract of nicotine added to a gallon or water.
