satisfying and appealing manner Done in black satin meteor, which yields so exquisitely to slender and supple treatment, it's graceful fall or fold would succeed either in slender izing the non-too-slender or setting off the allnost-to-slender as delight fully as either could wish. An out of of-the-cOmnon touch is noticeable in the way the panels of the black chf- ion overlapping the skirt from waistline to hem are gathered, each to form an elongated pendant, fin ished at bottom with long taSselS of jet. The effect, while striking, is rich and handsome rather than conspic- uous Guiltless of sleeve, the gown thus measures up to the very latest of Fashions choosings in that regard.
 A gown of this sort is one that every woman would like to be seen wearing. It creates the effect she is fain to carry, and, fortunately, with little or no adaptation, it will suit any woman.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-21

In evening gowns the tendency is more and more toward the graceful draping of a rich fabric, with a spark ling touch by way of trimming, an elegant, rather than a startling effect This is a. tendency to be welcomed by young and not so young, slim and not so slim, rich and n Vt so rich, alike. Novel and bizarre effects are always touchy things to handle and their effectiveness is likely to be doubtful unless very carefully dealt with, but the elegance and distinctiveness found in simple, graceful lines are fitting to every occasion require the least amount of experimenting and run the fewest chances of individual in appropriateness.
 Soft sheen and sparkle are always seductive. Black, too, always in fa- vor with the French women, is this season more than ever a la mode. In the dinner gown shown above all the etemetns calculated to produce a happy effect are combined in most

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

tuberculosis and internal worms
bring about greater losses to the poul-
try industry than any other causes,
according to ii. d. Munroe. extension
poultry specialist of the Ohio State
University. Unsanitary conditions are
largely responsible. These may be
improved by rotation in the chicken
runs. Soil about permanent houses
may be plowed and cultivated crops
raised. Portable colony houses may
be used for growing chickens.
The legs of chickens suffering from
worms become paralyzed. Although
the fowls eat heartily they become
emaciated. No cure is known for the
worms; prevention is the only remedy
Birds suffering with tuberculosis be-
come emaciated and are often lame in
the left leg. The most reliable
evidence of tuberculosis may be OBJ
tanned from a post-mortem examina
ton. White spots varying in size from
a pinhead to a pea may be founc

Seminole Indians Taken
Under Uncle Sans Wing
in Florida Everglades

In the least known wilderness of
America, the Everglades of Florida.
where no white man can find his way
unguided, 600 full-blooded Seminole
Indians have at last been officially
discovered" Ever since the Indian
war In 1912 the Indians In Florida
have not been recognized by the gov
eminent or the state. They were sup
posed to have been removed to west
ern reservations or hunted and shot by
white traders who coveted their land.
But a remnant of the great Seminole
tribe persisted In Florida, eluding the
government agents and retreating foot
ed to have purchased their lands, till
they finally made their homes In the
maze Of unexplored swamps, studded
with thousands Of luxuriously vege-
tated islands, which form the Ever
glades. The government finally has
been persuaded to grant them 100000
acres of land for an Indian reservation
under an Indian commissioner.
The SeminOles live in an absolutely
primitive state. in matched huts. They
are afraid Of the camera. they wonder
at the telephone, the automobile, the
| train and the commonest conveniences
They are suspicious Of the white mar
and his government. Yet when on oc
casional trips to the villages the!
learned Of the war with Germany the.
showed themselves no slackers.
They are a remnant of few thou
sand Seminoles who disappeared int
the Everglades when the government
agents started to move them west.

Hope to Save Millions
in Fires by Breaking the
Matches While in Flame

When match breaking becomes a
national habit $50,00O,OO0 a year will
be saved.
BY breaking matches-that is, of
course, matches one uses in lighting
cigar, cigarette, pipe or gas stove
many fires that annually cause loss
of approximately $35,0OO,OOO will be
eliminated, according to statement
by fire prevention authorities. And
to spread the gospel of breaking
matches and preventing fires, nation
wide picture campaign of education is
to be started.
"Under existing conditions Ameri-
cas- fire losses are increasing year by
year." said Harvey Levey, educational
director of film company that is TO
produce the pictures. 'There is only
one way it can be outdone-that is by
education. The fire departments are
doing the best they can. Until the
people are educated to back them up
America will continue to pay-not
only in money but in lives, and that
must be placed first"
| The campaign will be put on in co
| operation with efforts of the bureau
of forestry of the department of az
riculture. Films showing every phase
of destruction by fire and of methods
to defeat heavy fire losses will be ex
hibited in theaters in every commu
nifty In the country, Levey said.
The first essential, Levey said, Is tn,
breaking of lighted matches befor
they are thrown away. Much les

Use Two Hooks Instead of
One in Hanging Pictures

Never fasten picture wire to a pic
ture so that, beginning at either side
of the picture in the back, 1t comes
up to the hook on the moldlng in such
a way that a triangle Is formed. While
not exactly part of picture framing,
the fastening Of the wire or cord is
most essential. for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be SO
hung that the actual mechanism OF
hanging is as inconspicuous as pos
sihle. Therefore use two wires, fast
ening them so that they are parallel
with the sides Of the frame. and use
two hooks at the molding instead OF
one. II you can use cord or wire
which blends in with the wall itself
so much the better.
