While the average girl cannot
always choose the extreme in dress, it
is always a matter of interest to her,
and an occasion for indulgence once
in while. Thus, her fashion interest
will be intrigued by the news that
walking sticks for women are coming
back in favor and are of many unusual
styles and sizes.
Ebony canes with white ivory trim
ming are most popular, as they fit in
so well with the favored black and
white sports cloths. All whites and
enameled sticks in colors are also
chosen with the sports clothes in
mind. Malacca walking sticks with
the crook handle please certain type
of women. Both the tall crooked
sticks and the knobbed variety are
carried. This vogue will surely find
it's repetition for swagger costumes
at the summer resorts.

Summer neckwear is especially
dainty, as you would agree if you
could have seen the little ruffled or
candle collar opening back and front,
the back laced together with picoted
ribbon hanging in long streamers.
We are led to expect checked and
plaid wells for fall, according to
fashion rumor from the other side.
These are not bold, but done on be-
coming meshes in delicate shadow eff
fects.
Bingham Gloves
And now it's Bingham gloves! Thai
is white or black or white kid gloves
for summer wear, cuffed in black and
white checked bingham. Sometimes
the Bingham plaid is only simulated
by stitchings of contrasting color, as
in gauntlet glove with lining striped
by lavender kid and turned-back cor
ners to prove it.
It's a good name for them, "sema-
phore colors" for those bright colcano
red, deep jade and yellow orange
shades in which newest fabrics are
appearing.

cold weather-snow on the ground
For the most part the children's feet
were bare and they trailed the faded
finery behind them coming to the
clinics.
Chiffon is not very warm for the
Serbian winter weather, which cor
responds fairly well with Boston's
winter, but even chiffon is welcome

Der that Serbia entered into the world
war after two years of fighting in the
Balkans.
But despite the material distress, y
said Miss Losanitch, "the minds and
hearts of the people are buoyed UP
by the prospect of greater national
expansion in the new State of Jugo
Slavia."
So much indeed is this a fact that
Miss Losanitch reports the changing
of the national independence day OF
Serbia, formerly Palm Sunday, to De.
cember LIST, the day of liberation,
when the advancing Serbian army en-
tered Belgrade in 1919. So great was
the emotion felt on this occasion, she
says, that the soldiers knelt in the
streets Of the city and gave thanks tc
God.
Palm Sunday is still very i'm
portant day in Serbia. Many national
customs cluster around this date. Be-
fore the war it was the custom for
children to go to the river bank and
gather willows, which they carried in
their hands together with church flags
and paraded through the streets.
Now times are changed to such an
extent that there is very little enthu-
siasm for the national formalities.
The daughter of every Serb family
always had complete new outfits on
Palm Sunday, as Americans have us,l-
ally on Easter. Today there is such
privation in that country that the
children are compelled to go naked,
wandering in the woods, suffering
cold, hunger and fatigue.
upon the reoccupation of Belgrade,
and as a celebration of the event, a
great ball was held in the Prince Re
gents Palace. The women made q
pitiful picture dressed in the clothes
they had before the war. There were
so few dishes remaining in the palace
that refreshments had to be served
in relays. The old dresses, the scar

ton, in the war, the battered furniture

cupation of the city, the faces of the
women-tragic, old, almost crushed
yet trying to be gait was a sad
sight"
With Mrs. Oliver Hartman, ma
tional chairman of godmothers, the
birthday committee of the Serbian
Child Welfare Association is receiving
the cooperation of many women OF
New York City and in fact of the cour-
try, who are uniting not only to send
Serbias women something more sub
stantial in the way of help than ball
gowns, but to adopt" an orphan for
each hour of the day, each day in the
week, each month in the year and so

Hartman and her committee.

FLOW UNDER ORGANIC
 MATTER; DON'T BURN IT

Arkansas farmers should plow under all straw, leaves, stalks and dead grass instead of burning them. With but few exceptions the soils of the entire state are in need of organic matter whether they be m hills or river bottoms, is the opinion of H. K. Thatcher, District Farm Agent with the Agricultural Ex- tension Division.
 Organic matter in. the soil sup plies that peculiar necessary medium which enables plants to grow. With the depletion of this substance, crop production is retarded and when the organic matter is all gone crops will not grow at all. Where crops are taken off each year and the corn and cotton stalks, gross and weeds are burned up and no straw or barn yard manure plowed under, the soil grows poorer and poorer each year.
 Besides results of increased crop yields, the blowing under of organic matter has some physical benefit that no farmer can deny. It ioos- ems up the soil, giving it better air circulation, causes it to work easier, absorb and obtain greater amount of rain fall; keeps the sur face from baking after rain and tends to prevent erosion of hill soil.
 Perhaps the reason many farm CTS prefer to burn the trash off of the fields instead of blowing 1t under is because the machinery used on the farm is too small and not the right kind. A ten inch blow running four inches deep can not do successful job of turning under corn or cotton stalks.
 Even if they have been cut up with a disk harrow or stalk cutter. Under present conditions, Arkansas farmers cannot afford to destroy or disregard a single item which will assist them in producing a max imum crop at a minimum cost. Let every man, be he landlord or renter use his brain to reason out condi- tions as they exist and then plan how best to overcome the difficult ties. The so-called lucky" farmer or the farmer with ''good judg- ment7 is always the man who req. sons out each detail of an opera ton and forms a well laid plan from planting to harvest.

Dallas T. Herndon, secretary of the Arkansas History Commission has discovered that we have no mo- nopoly on the flu" He has been reading ancient newspaper files, and away back in 1886 he found that there was scourge of influenza very similar to that of the last two years. It was called influenza-the people had not yet become so fa- miliar with it that they spoke of 1t as the flu" It does not seem to have been quite so fatal, probably because at that time there were fewer people in the entire state than there are in Little Rock today. But the symptoms were very much the same and the health authorities then |quarantined against 1t as they are doing today. One disease, how ever, which was prevalent then, and Of which we are now free, was the cholera, which afflicted the tribes of Indians who were passing through the state to their new reservations. Newspaper reports of the time are that the Indians ''died in droves" as the result of the malady.
 There is a noticeable revival of interest in matters religious all over the state This is ascribed largely to the activity of those who are promoting the interests of the Inter- Church World movement. This i; arousing the people to some of the great problems now confronting the world. The campaigns con ducted through the state are meeting with a favorable response. Last week there was strong interest in the Y. NJ. c. A. convention held in
 Little Rock, and arrangements are
 being made for the great conven- ton of the Sunday School Associa- tion to be held in Little Rock April 20-22.

Girl of Isis
 Charged With
 Staying Father

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 31.-Ursula Frederick, 16 years old, confessed slayer of her father in 1916, went to trial in Juvenile court here today on charges of having killed her stepfa- ther. Joseph F. Woodlock, plumber, April 1, 1919.
 At the inquest, she testified she shot and killed Woodlock when he entered her room in their home, and attempted to attack her. Suspecting her stepfather she asserted she con- cealed a revolver under her pillow, and when he entered, fired only to frighten him.
 Immediately after the shooting she surrendered to the police. The girl was indicted last May for first de- gree murder, but has been at liberty under S5000 bond.
 In October of 1916, then only 12 years old, she shot and killed her fa- ther, Thomas P. Frederick, also 8 plumber. In that case Coroner's jury exonerated her after she had testified she fired the fatal shot in defense of her mother. The mother testified Frederick had been beat ing when the child intervened. Under the Missouri laws if the girl l is convicted of first or second degree murder, her punishment may be the same as if she were, an adult. The
 minimum is 10 years in the peniten- tiary. If, however, she is convicted of any degree of manslaughter, she will be sent to an industrial school until she is 21, it was stated.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Dark ems So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great es. advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the rcady-to-use product, improved by the additio moi other ingredients called .Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moistcn your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears. but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, is that, before beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap- plications. it also produces few applications, it also produces tha, soft lustre and appearance of sbun. dance which is so attractive.
