Mid-winter finds the heads of the
younger girls clad in beaver, felt, vel
vet and duvetyn mostly, with beaver
far and away the favorite, especially
for little girls. But the flapper and
the debutante. as well as small girls,
are provided for in hats of this beau
tiful and remarkably durable mater
ial. Nothing gives more satisfaction
to it's wearers and beaver figures in
the millinery of every season more or
less for grownups-but for children
and young people it always figures
more.
Hats for children are so simply
trimmed that one word will almost
sum up their story so far as trimmings
are concerned. That word is ribbon"
Good qualities in faille, grosgrain,
MORE and some other heavy weaves,
make the bands and sash ends that
distinguish the most elegant of hats
for the younger set. There is but
one all-beaver hat in the group pic
tured above, pretty model for a
girl of sixteen or so, with collar and
bow of narrow tinsel ribbon.
The saucy tam at the top of the
group is made of duvetyn and has a
SHRED top crown and head band. A
flat rosette of ribbon and tassel of
yarn at the right side give the crown
the required droop and dashing angle
and the best of selections as trim
ming for girl of fourteen or some

Some of the new fabrics brought out
this season developed special fitness
for children's and misses wear. 1t has
been time of new departures in the
weaving Of cloths and of tryouts of
these fabrics for making winter gar
ments. Some of them were lovely, but
short-lived, and others have proved
sturdy as well as beautiful New
weaves add the spice of variety and
the charm Of novelty to the seasons

powers to remain long in the good
graces of women, especially If they are
to face the weather. and the wear that
wintertime and children will exact.
Having stood the test and come up
smiling, the pretty coat at the left of
the picture asks to be considered It
is made of the material called "auto
wear" and is a wooden pile fabric that
looks much like corduroy. 1t is an
own cousin to that stalwart member
/. Of the fabric family, but much softer
and having much more distinction in
appearance. Quite likely it was
planned to be used for motor coats,
but Immediately extended it's field of
usefulness. 1t appears in coats for
grown-ups and misses. The very fine
example, shown at the left of the two

Baby Persian lamb or chinchilla is
the borrowed name of the material
used to make splendid coat and hat
for small girl, as shown at The right
of the picture. Weavers, having I'M
dertaken to make cloth that would
look like pelt, succeeded so well that
they did not think it worth while to
find new name for it. They could
not find one that would describe it so
well as the name borrowed. Thescoat
is straight, with big patch pockets and
wide, full collar. The clever little
hat, in new shape, which was surely
inspired by the perennial Napoleon hat,
covers the ears. With her hands in
her pockets the determined-lookin lit
tie maid so cozily fitted out in the
picture, might challenge Jack Frost
to take her out for look at the home
of the Aurora Borealis.

tackled by these parasites. When a
number of these worms get into the
windpipe and become swollen with
blood breathing becomes difficult and
even impossible. Gaping, the charac-
teristic symptom of the gapes. is the
natural result of this choking.
Other Symptoms.
There are other symptoms, of course.
Some of these are the shaking of the
head, the contracting and the extern
sion of the neck, the dropping of the
wings and a peculiar staggering gait,
doubtless caused by the choking and
the exhaustion of the chicks.
Once in great while gaping will be
caused by touch of bronchitis, but as
rule it is associated only with the
attacks Of the tiny reddish worms that
fasten themselves in the chicks
trachea. They not only choke the
chicks, but they cause an irritation
that leads to Inflammation of the lin
ing Of the air passages.
Weak chicks, attacked by cape
worms, will die nine times out of ten,
as 1t is very hard to relieve them.
The strong chicks may have vitality
enough to overcome the trouble, but
they will lose in growth.
The worms are sometimes extract
ed from the upper throat by means of
Topped horse hair. This is tedious
operation and hardly worth while
when there are many chicks to be
looked after. The best plan is to iso-
late the sufferers and move the re-
mainder away from the ground where
they have been feeding. Forcing the
chicks to breathe lime dust, fine, dry
air-slaked lime, will force the worms
to loosen their hold on the air pas
sages. AS rule, though, the chicks
are hardly strong enough to stand such
measures.
Other Harmful Worms.
In older birds the tapeworms and
round worms cause some losses. The
round worm is cylindrical, smooth
parasite, tapering at both the front
and the rear, but the front is more
pointed than the rear. They are in
testinal parasites, bloodsuckers and
devourers of the nourishment needed
by the growing bird or the laying hen.
When very numerous they cause q
diarrhea or in some instances stop
page of the intestines.
The remedy is two grains of san
tonin for each bird. dissolved in the
drinking water or mixed in and fed
| with mash. The round worm is
white in coloring and may vary from
one-third of an inch to five inches in
length.
| Now and again serious outbreaks of
the tapeworm in poultry are reported
from various parts of the country. The
chief remedies used for tapeworm in
fowls are extract of the male fern,
turpentine, pumpkin seeds. the areca
hut and EPSON salts.

RETURN OF DR.. ALEXIS CARREL

Surgeons and medical men the
world over are stirred by the signifi-

news: John D. Rockefeller's addition

for Medical Research in New York,
which bears his name, and the return
of DIR. Alexis Carrel from France to re.

Since Its foundation, in 1901, the
Rockefeller institute has made much
medical and surgical history. In this
work Doctor Carrel has been the lead
ing figure. The browning glory of his
career, however, came through the
great war, where his method OF treat
ing war wounds prevented thousands
upon thousands of amputations and re-
stored to full vigor countless men who
under old-fashioned treatment would
have become legless or armless.

the victory of Senator Harding the
elimination of the Democratic Party
as a factor in national politics. In
a statement yesterday he said:
"Our vote Is very satisfactory. The
result means that the next fight will
be between the Republican and the
Farmer-Labor Parties. Democrats
cannot come back. Organized labor
also has learned its lesson. We can
not hope for relief from either OF the
old parties. In the next fight labor
will be united with the farmers and
other forward looking people in the
Farmer-I. I.abor Party.
"Thc vote for Harding is very
largely a protest vote--a vote or dis
gust with conditions and especially
against the Wilson Administration.
