A MONO the great humber of plait- A ed skirts made of plaid and striped material, an occasional plain skirt and an even more occasional model without plaits, will be sure to seize the attention. And, although the vogue is overwhelmingly for plaits and for plaids, there are some hand some models that are not acquainted with either of these. Without apolo- gies they present themselves for com parison among their numerous plait- ed sisterhood and usually we perceive that they belong to the aristocracy of skirts.
 The skirt at the left is innocent of plaits and is made of taupe colored wool jersey in a fine quality It could hardly be simpler, being straight anti gathered in at the waist line It has a deep hem headed with fiat fold.

PAID HIM TO KEEP QUIET
Incident of Wall Street That We Pub fish Without Any Affidavit as
 to It's Truth.

There was a man in Wall street, em- ployed as thirty-second assistant cash fer in bank. It took the bank di- rectors immediately advanced him to cashier, on the theory that his new responsibilities would preclude his conversing with outsiders on impor- tant matters. But it didn't work. The cashier was in more favorable position to relay important things to the financial scribes. He was pro noted to a vice presidency. He talked louder and more frequently.
 In desperation the bank directors made him president of the institution. It worked wonders, He stopped talk ing. Thereafter he spoke only through prepared statements, and while they were long and windy they revealed nothing disturbing.-From Life.

Kl.L OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt of One Of Their Order to Raise
 Child as Sin.

Lovers of laughter. song, music, flowers and birds. the Arioi of Tahiti killed their own children at birth, and looked upon the attempt of a member of their order to rear a child as a sin. While religious causes were given for this by the leaders and, no doubt, believed in, the real cause, Frederick 0Brien tells in the Century, was a natural one whereby the species, to prevent orer-population of the South sea island, destroyed it's own. With perfect health and no enemies, the island would soon have had hard time finding food.
 The Arioi were wandering minstrels, actors, priests and wonder workers to Which belonged both men and women.
 The natives of Tahiti who have es- capped the blight of civilization are living proofs that at one time the race was one of the most beautiful iIl the worlds history, while investigators declare that arts and civilization were brought to a high plane hundreds o1 years agU.

 There is something in the set of the plaited skirt of plain cloth at the right that entices the mind toward Egypt. These plaited skirts may be beautifully adjusted to the figure and the utmost in that respect has been done for this skirt. Side plaits, in groups of eight plaits each. form panels that alternate with single box plaits and the long lines they make hug the figure and curve with it. At the sides two of the box plaits are set together with two large bone buttons calling attention to their union. A moderately wide girdle buttons at the front. The georgette blouse worn with this skirt, employs beads and silk in simple but very handsome em- bellishment.

THE usually arbitrary goddess of
 1 fashion is inclined to be tolerant so far as styles in fur garments are concerned. For furs are furs these days-as a diamond is diamond they are bringing startlingly high prices It does not appear that they are destined to become cheaper unless something happens to lessen the de mand, and high prices have failed to do that. Therefore a fur piece of any description is possession to be treas ured and everything is worn from the smallest of chokers that fasten close up about the throat to long and ample dolmans and coats whose prices are stated in five figures.
 Scarfs hold the lead in the smaller fur garments and they are either straight or shaped and may be long or short. Anyone fortunate enough to own one as generous in size as that shown in the picture can wish for nothing more splendid. It is a hand some kolinsky embellished with claws and small tails. lined with crepe-de- chine and provided with pockets at the ends. This scarf is much larger than the average.
 After the searfs come small capes, some of them just falling over the

Dark mink skins. nat ural or dyed squirrel, mole, sealskin and other short-halred belts are used for making these chic fur pieces that look just what they are-rich and warm, luxurious detail suited to any sort of costume.
 At the right of the picture hand some fox scarf. made of a single gen. erous-sized pelt, is shown, not because it is new but because 1t holds It's own as a fayorite from season to season and Is always good style It is lined with satin and the .small head does duty as a fastener. The lower jaw works on a hinge and spring and is made to grasp the fur at any point to adjust it loosely or close up about the throat.

CONSERVING VALUABLE SOIL
Each County In Iowa Loses Annually
Six Inches Of Soil From Top Of
100 Acres of Land.

Problem for the class In intermedi-
ate arithmetic: Find the number Of
cubic feet in the top six inches of soil
from 10000 acres Of land.
That sounds sufficiently unrelated to
common experience to be problem In
the old-time school arithmetic, but, as
matter Of fact, 1t Is what Iowa has
been losing every year in the water
that flows over Its fields. Specialists
of the United States department Of az
rlculture, who have worked In various
sections of Iowa during the past sew
eral months, estimate that each coun-
ty in Iowa-and there are an even
hundred of them-loses annually six
inches Of soil from the top of 1,700
acres of land. Henceforth, these spe-
cialists think, not so much good soil
will be washed away. The recent high
prices of Iowa farm lands. injurious
in some particulars, has been benef-
cia In causing Iowa farmers to realize
that they cannot afford to permit such
valuable stuff as dirt to be carried
away in rain water.

BELGIAN PRINCE TO SCOUTS

King Albert of the Belgians has two
sons who are Boy Scouts. The king
and queen, with Crown Prince Leopold,
recently toured this country.
Scout Leopold has sent this letter
voicing the brotherhood of scouting to
his American comrades:
"You have been kind enough to ask
me to send you statement on what
the Belgian Boy Scouts have done dur
Ing the war.
During the first days Of the inva-
sion our boys did their utmost to as
sist both the civil and military authori-
ties, acting as messengers. But, as
you are aware, Belgium was soon al
most entirely occupied by the enemy
and, from that moment the Boy Scouts,
In spite Of their desire to serve their
country, were reduced to inactivity.
Ever since the liberation Of Belgium
territory they have again resumed
their work with the greatest entiu-
sIasm.

Where the wound is so large rs to

be used. Two-year-old trees are
planted about the base Of the injured
tree and their tops grated into Its
trunk above the girded space, which
has first been cleaned as IN the other
method. AS the tops of the small
trees are too large to manipulate
scions, v-shaped vertical grooves ex-
tending through the cambium are cut
just above the wounded area In the
bark of the tree to be treated. The
tops of the small trees are shaped to
correspond with these grooves. The
two are then accurately fitted together
In such manner as to bring the cam
blum of one into contact with that of
the other. Small nails may be driven
through the tops Of the trees into the
trunk, to hold the parts firmly togeth-
er. The wounds incident to joining
the tops of the small trees to the
trunk of the large one should be well
covered with wax, to prevent drying
out. Sometimes cord is tied around
the trunk to aid In holding the tops
Of the young trees in proper position.
