ASK LEGISLATION FOR
PROTECTION OF ALIENS
Bar Association Calls Congress
Attention to Violation of
Treaty Rights.

st. Louis, Aug. 2S.--Enactment of
Federal legislation guaranteeing more
adequate protection TO aliens IN their
treaty rights was recommended at Thurs
DAYS session of the convention of the
American Bar Association by its Com
mttcc on Jurisprudence and Law Reform.
This subject is entitled to very serious
consideration in the pending Congress,
IN the opinion of the committee. Its
recommendation, according to the report,
results from various complaints that
have been made 30 the United States by
other nations that the rights of the citi-
zcns of those nations, under existing
treaties, were not sufficiently protected
by laws of this country"
The proposed legislation provides that
the President be authorized to direct the
Acknowledgement in the name and behalf
of the United States, to file bill IN
equity in the proper district court OF the
United States against any person or per-
sons threatening to violate the rights of
. citizen or subject of foreign country,
secured to such citizen or subject by
treaty between the United States and
such foreign country, and that this pro-
vision shall apply to acts threatened by
State officers under the alleged justif-
cation of law of the Legislature of the
State In which such acts are TO be COM
mitted."
In cases where aliens are brought to
trial in State courts for violation of State
statutes. which are deemed by the Presi-
dent TO be contrary to the rights of the
defendant, the government, under the
proposed law, would have power to file an
intervening petition for the transfer of the
action TO Federal court.
The committee also suggested amplifi-
cations of the judicial code to clarity
laws governing the removal of causes and
advised changes in the rules of the SUI
preme Court so that lawyers would not
have to journey to Washington to file
motions

MAKING FARM IMPROVEMENTS
Into Houses for Hogs and Poultry
and Water Systems.

"The farmers of Iowa are putting
their profits into farm improvements"
says John s. Glass of the agricultural
engineering department of Iowa State
college after visiting thousands OF
farms In all parts of Iowa this year.
"An average of 80 new hoghouses In
every county, or nearly 1900 In the
entire state were erected last year.
New poultry houses rank next in popu-
larity with the builders. There is an
average of about Is modern poultry
houses that have been constructed or
are under construction In every county.
"Three out of every four farms !
visited asked for plans for water sys-
TENS. Every one interested in a new
water system also wished to construct
q sewage disposal plant. Many farm.
ers are installing light plants on their
farms or connecting farmers lines.
In Des Moines county every main road
has a farmers electric line, and the
farmers are making use OF them"

TINE new separate skirts which

rived the latter part Of December and
by the middle of January we were
quite familiar with them. They are
more Indispensable than ever to the
southern tourist, whose time Is sup
posed to be spent out Of doors In the
pursuit of some sort of sport. Judging
from the color and rich appearance OF
some of these new skirts the most
popular resort sport Is the wearing OF
good looking clothes.
The wooden skirts are mostly In
large plalds in which very soft and
quiet col0rs are skillfully combined.
There are some smart black and white
combinations among them and some In
which black and white plaid stripes
alternate with soft colors In stripes.
These are made up with inverted

skIMMlLk COSTLY FOR HOGS
Demand for II Increasing Rapidly Be-
cause Of Food Value, Although
u Contains No Fats.

Skimmilk for hog feed will soon be
thing Of the past, In the opinion Of
4. o. Hanson, member of the staff Of
dairy division at university farm.
"Skimmilk," Mr.. Hanson says, SIS
already being sold in various forms
such as milk powder, casein and cot
tage cheese. Demand for 1t is increas-
ing rapidly because OF its food value,
although 1t contains no fats. About IL
pounds of cottage cheese can be made
from 100 pounds of skimmilk. An
analysis will show that cottage cheese
is as nourishing, pound for pound, as
lean beef.
Suppose beef to be worth is cents
a pound and cottage cheese to be OF
equal value; this would then make the
value of one quart Of skimmilk 6.12
cents. At this rate. skimmilk is too
valuable to be used for hog feed"

They have grown in Importance with
the passing of each season, and many
shops devoted entirely to them find
business brisk all the year around.
Styles cover range all the way from
the simplest tailored models to rich
and brilliant things for evening wear.
Every time the subject Of blouses is
up for discussion women congratulate
one another that sheer and dainty
handmade blouses in simple styles
have returned to high favor. Once
again we have with us the painstaking
and beautiful needlework that we have
learned to associate with France.
Whether the new blouses are the work
of French women or not, they come
up to the standard Of daintiness and
elegance that those patient needle
women have taught us to love.
Fine wolfe, batiste and net are the
mediums chosen for interpreting the
new wash blouses. Net with eyelet
embroidery Is a favorite, and wolfe
makes opportunity for drawn work

RIGHT CARE OF DAIRY COW

The high-producing dairy animal is
delicate and well-balanced piece Of
machinery, and consequently she cam

is exposed to severe winter weather.
1t is, therefore, essential that the dis
comforts incident to cold weather be
eliminated, If possible. The comfort
able COW will repay in milk the nee

men as a rule are more careful with
their cows than the average farmer
who merely produces the milk for
