THE GRASSHOPPER: MUSI
CLAN, MONSTER AND
AVIATOR

Once more the ravenOus grasshopper
wrought devastation upon Western
fields this fall, and the plague became
especially destructive in Texas.
Writing to the National Geographic
society, David Fairchild describes this
fascinating, if ruthless, creature as
follows:
'The young king grasshopper is
probably twenty days old and it's wings
have not developed, but it can jump a
hundred times its length, whereas man
can scarcely cover three times his
length at a leap. When it's wings grow
and its internal air sacs fill with air it
can sail away for miles. One represen-
tative of this great family can sail for
a thousand miles before the wind, and
make cloud 1000 square miles in ex-
tent.
''Its great front lip hides pair of
jaws as effective as hay-chopper, and
it has an appetite as voracious as that
of a hippopotamus. This voracious-
ness and these jaws are what have
made several of its. relatives the
plague of mankind. They multiply in
such numbers as to battle all calcula-
ton, and every living green thing for
thousands of square miles disappears
down their throats, leaving the coun-
try they infest desolate.
"When the young grasshopper
emerges from the egg it is very small
| indeed-a wingless, helpless little
creature, all legs and mouth.

Taffeta or Falle silk Favorite Of Mo-
ment-Made With Plain, Long
WaIsted Bodice.

For afternoon wear the frock Of taf-
feta or faille silk seems TO be the first
favorite Of the moment, made with
severely plain, rather long-waisted lit
tie bodice that clings closer to the fig
ure than the chemise frock, but makes
no effort to fit in any correct sense Of
the word. Whereas In former days
such a bodice would have been severe
ly boned, II Is now allowed to wrinkle
softly in the region of the waist line.
The skirts are puffed or draped or held
out slightly from the hips by clever
contrivance Of piping cords or ruch-
ings. 1t Is interesting to notice that,
however much the present-day fashions
have borrowed their inspiration from
the past century, they are yet essen
TALLY modern and express the freer
thought Of today. We see no sign Of
the return Of the tight waist or the
boned bodice and we Just know that
the modern woman would never put up
with such Inconvenience and discom-
fort for one moment.
Another style which is seen in some
Of the new models is the cross-over
bodice the ends Of which tie at the
back and can either be punched into 3
large bow to give the hustle effect OF

of the plain bodice rather trying. A

OSTRICH Is in VOGUE
Plumes CurIed and UncurIed Now
Prime Favorite.
Fluffy Decoration Affords the Most
Popular Hat Trimming Of
the Season.

Ostrich is the most popular hat trim
ming Of the season. Long, graceful,
soft curled plumes, little chic French
tips curled very tightly, ostrich ''fan-
cies" of various sorts and the un-
curled, feather-duster type Of ostrich
share honors about equally.
One Of the methods employed for
trimming very small hat with ostrich
is to attach curled plume at either
side so that 1t forms a sort of e1r
muff and effectually conceals the hair.
Such hat recently shown was of blue
and silver brocade made on a turhan
frame, very closely draped, and with
plumes in smoke gray dropping at
either side.
Still another charming small hat was
OF smoke gray velvet with the merest
suggestion of a brim In front, two long
curled plumes In self-color being
Joined in the center back, so they ex-
tended across the back and curled
down a trifie at either side.
Sapphire blue Is well up In front In
the millinery color procession. Many

WOMEN THE FINANCIERS
OF A FORGOTTEN
KINGDOM

Along busy highways of ocean trav-
el, land links between Japan and For
mosa, not far from China's coastwise
white persons year-such are the
Loo Choo Uuchu or Ryuku) islands.
Loo Choo is land full of the inde-
scribable charm and mystery of the
Orient, but replete with the pathos of
vanishing race" writes Roy Chap
man Andrews to the National Geo
graphic society.
"But, although it has been 40 years
since there sounded the death knell
of this little hidden kingdom, Loo
Choo is not yet Japan. The traveller,
realizes this even before he lands. The
spine-clothed, tomb-dotted hills which
form the background of the strange
little cities of Mana and Shuri have
an unfamiliar look and the pretty tiled
roofs of the diminutive houses, just
visible over the surrounding gray
stone walls, give fascinating hints of
what may be found beyond their lac
quered gateways. On their entire 900
square miles of land only one white
man, an American missionary, is resi-
dent.
with our money changed, we began
to look about to spend it, for Loo Choo
| is the home of the red lacquer ware
famous throughout the world. Much
of it is exported, and the finest of the
boxes, bowls, trays, tables, ETC., which
are in daily use in Japan and China
and sold to tourists throughout the
Orient, come from the little city of
Naha, or Shuri, its neighbor across the
hills. The lacquer ware, when first
made, is dull brown, but really first

Collars Magnificent In Size and Many
Of Them Are Set High About
the Neck.

A lavish use of fur is noted on the
smart coats for winter wear. Collars
are quite magnificent in size, while
many Of them set high about the neck.
The sleeves may be rather snug. but
often the fur cuffs look like veritable
muffs.
There is a tendency to emphasize
the waist line in those models that
are designed especially for youthful
Figures. Wrappy coats are also shown
and many Of these are effectively
bloused in the back.
Evening wraps, too, claim their
touch Of fur, but 1t is often used
eparingly. A wrap or rather cape of
flame colored velvet is cut with a seal
loped button in which is set little fan
shaped pieces Of silver and blue taf-
feta yelled with lace richly embroid-
cred In threads of gold. The draped

black Eroeks Are Fashion.

A recent Paris dispatch states that
black frocks are distinct fashion note
in that gay city. Earlier in the season
many of the lighter shades of brown
were featured by practically every
modlste and couturier, but the Rarisian
did not take kindly to them as they
are trying shades for the average COM
plexion. SO until recently not many
Of these tones, save cocoa brown, have
been worn. Now cinnamon colored
hats are making their appearance both
on the street and in the smart restau-
rants. Frocks in this tint are also
noted.

MODERN Tk-~r ID
ANCIENT All IS

Constantine, whose re,d4n 10 the
throne of Greece was discussed after
the death of Alexander had d famous
summer palace at Tatoi, before his alb
dication. There he spent much time
during the final uneasy months of his
reign.
Tatoi is 16 miles north of Athens by
way of Kophisia. In strong contrasi
to the harsh and stormy political stu
alton which encompassed the members
of the royal family following the out
break of the World war, their physical
environment was wholly delightful, for
Tatoi is one of the most beautiful
spots of Attica, nesting almost at the
foot of the Parnes mountains. In the
distance towers the famous Penteli-
kon. from whose summit one may OBJ
any of the Attic hills.
Historically, Tatoi is noteworthy for
being freighted with unhappy associa-
tons. In its vicinity stand the ruins
| of an old fort, known as the Kastro
which marks the center of the deme
| township of Decelea.
1t was at Decelea, u miles in an air.

from Euboea, which supplied the cap

trayal of the Athenian navy which had
invested Syracuse in Sicily, had al
ready fulfilled the prophecy of the
misanthrope Timon who had said upon
one of the many occasions when the
young Athenian's rash proposals had
been indorsed by the populace, go on,
my brave boy, and prosper; for your
prosperity will bring on the ruin of all
this crowd" His advice to seize and
fortify Decelea in Alb B. G. brought
irretrievable ruin on his native city
and resulted in an inestimable loss to
the human race, for it crushed Athens.
By one of the strange whims of 'the
crowd" the Athenian army in its dark
est hour sent message to Alcibiades
inviting him to desert the Spartans in
to whose power he had betrayed his
own people. And by an equally strange
whim Alcibiades accepted the invita-
ton, rushing to Samos to assume
command of his old associates. But i
was too late. Athens was doomed

The Use of Fur on Coats

collar Of velvet is tied down with a
narrow band of sable, which is won
drously effective.
The newest idea with these evening
wraps is to have the collar separate,
so that the woman who has lovely
furs may use them not only for eve
ming, but in the daytime. If woman
has q gorgeous sable scarf made per-
haps of a couple of pelts it will look
charming placed about the draped vel
vet collar. On some Of the models
snaps are attached to fur and wrap,
so that there is no possible chance
of losing the fur.
The head-dress to be worn with this
wrap is silver band set with square
cut emeralds. In front mods a spray
of paradise.

Relic of Primitive Days

Primitive man wore a collar for or
namentation before he wore much of
anything else, so the stiff collar is not
a modern part of mans attire. In the
fourteenth century neck chains, or civ
cry collars" were worn in England,
symbolizing allegiance to one or an
other feudal baron. These collars are
still used in European officialdom by
orders of knighthood. The collar ruff
fe became the vogue among the rich.

Suspension BRIDGE.

The Scientific American says that
the suspension bridge over the Snake
river near Twin Falls in southern
Idaho, is the highest in America, if
not in the world. The actual meas
urement is 345 feet from the floor of
the bridge to the stream, and the
length of the span is 6SS feet. Aside
from its extreme height, the bridge is
OF interest because, although mate
rails had to be hauled a great dis
tance, the structure was completed in
four months.

ably, remove all air from the bottle
after filling and before screwing in the

Dainty handkerchiefs may be made
from old crepe de chine blouses, cami-

others from the back and tops of

with simple dye preparation. Roll
the hens and overcast in two direc-

SANTO DOMINGO: FIRST
LOVE AND LAST RESTING
PLACE OF COLUMBUS

Christopher Columbus, in placing the
great western hemisphere on the map
Of the world, left his impress more
deeply on what is now the Dominican
republic than on any other bit of land
in the New World.
The very name of the capital of the
republic, Santo Domingo, whose ward
ship under the United States has been
under public discussion recently, is a
family affair with the Columbuses.
The great diScoverer named for his
father this first permanent city estab
lished by Europeans in the Americas.
The same name is applied to the ISL
and of which the republic is a part
almost as commonly as its aboriginal
name, Haiti; and finally the paternal
name is further perpetuated in that
of the republic itself.
The remains of Columbus are be-
lieved by investigators who have eX-
| amined the evidence in the case to lie.
in the cathedral in Santo Domingo
city. The body of the discoverer was
brought to the island of his early tri-
umphs from Spain, where he died and
was placed beside that of his son
Diego. 1t was thought that the Span
| lards removed the remains of Chris
| topher Columbus when they trans
| ferred sovereignty of the island to the
French in 1875. 1t appears from later
examinations of the burial vaults of
the cathedral, however, that the casket
which was borne in such great state
from Santo Domingo to Havana at the
end of the Eighteenth century and
from Havana to Spain hundred
years later, contained instead the ashes
Of Diego, the son.
The city of Santo Domingo grew to
be a wonderful place during the early
days Of Spanish dominion, but Colum-
bus did not live to see much of the
development. His son, Diego Colum.
bus, however, engraved the family
name deeper on the city and the coun.
try Of which it was the capital, setting
| up there a court of such regal splen.
dor that it aroused the envy Of the
Spanish king.
/ Santo Domingo seemed destined tc
become the bustling metropolis of 8
Western empire. But 1t became the
victim Of exploitation. After a turbu
lent history, during which the native
Indians were exterminated and thou
sands of African slaves were import

and drove their oppressors from th,
island. Though the land of the Domin
ican republic reverted for a while t,
Spanish control, and later was con
quered by the republic Of Haiti, wit
which it shares the island, it estab
lished its independence in 1874 an
has retained its individuality since.
