In design; there are many overblouse
models. there are collarless and col.
Jared models-the former In the ma
jority. There are tailored and there
are untrimmed types, but taken alto
gether 1t may be said that blouses and
smocks were never more beautiful
than they are today.
A handsome smock of georgette
crepe with cape collar is designed
In a way to set off very prettily the
abundant embroidery in silk floss that
adorns 1t. The collar, sleeve and
skirt of the smock are encircled with
this work, which usually is done in
colors, one like that In the crepe and
one contrasting. In the smock pic
tured the sleeves are three-quar-
tiers length--a safe choice, since
it Is possible to shorten them for mid
summer, and novel feature appears
In the narrow velvet ribbon threaded
through eyelets in the embroidery,
For combining the smock at the
waist line the choice lies between mar
row girdles of the same material as
the garment or silk cord and tassels
like that shown in the picture, which
seems an appropriate finish for a
smock so richly embroidered.

TN BLOUSES and smocks, as in
everything else that has been pre-
scented so far for spring, variety
i most noteworthy feature of the
displays; variety in styles, In mate
rails, In design. II is probably due to
the growing demand for exclusive"
styles on the part of many people who
have grown exacting within the last
year or two. They appear to be
willing to pay long prices for "some-
thing different" Blouse and smock
designers, therefore, are following the
lead Of the milliners and excursioning
into all sorts of by-paths that lead a
little way off the main Travelled road.
But there Is room for some generaliz-
ing In summing up the styles. Blouses
and smocks interest women much ear
iier than suits and coats for spring.
Many of the choicest ones are made at
home, and even when this Is not the
case, the assembling Of blouses for
spring and summer wear begins early
and takes time.
Short peplum styles and short
sleeves appear over the horizon for
summer wear. There are plenty of
Russian blouse models and plenty of
long sleeyes-thc latter greatly varied

a good practice to peel the posts and
dip the butts in creosote for preserve

The wise and frugal farmer plies the
paint brush during the spare time of
spring and fall, as he understands the
dual value of paint in protecting
against decay and weathering and in
improving the sightliness of the farm

Improvement. The government should
furnish all possible aid in the way Of
information and suggestion, create ia
vorabie conditions under which pro-
duction and distribution may take
place. and especially see that the
channels Of trade are open and that
abuses do not exist.
''There is no question:" continues
the secretary, "that everything which
can legitimately be done to eliminate
waste in marketing and to promote
orderly distribution should be done.
But the views of the most experienced
students of the matter seems to be
that we must approach the problem in
simpler terms, work along lines which
have clearly proven to be feasible, and
promote existing tendencies and prac-
tees.
A Field for Work.
"Certainly we can proceed further
by state, federal, and individual action
in standardizing the production, the
handling, and the packing of farm
products and in promoting the use Of
standard containers and proper stor-
age on farms, in transit and at market
centers. We can continue to furnish
assistance in the preparation and in
stallation of accounting systems and
more extensively and accurately gath
err and furnish to the farmers of the
nation all pertinent statistical infor-
nation. / need scarcely emphasize
the paramount Importance of making
available daily to producers facts as
to market prices, supplies. and de-
mands. The market news services of
the department of agriculture have
already clearly proved their value.
The department now conducts and OPP
crates an inspection service on fruits
and vegetables covering 1854 markets.
Help Cooperative Associations.
Particularly must the federal and
state agencies omit nothing to pro-
mote farmers cooperative associa-
tions along right lines. Already, with
in q generation, many such bodies
have appeared and rapidly expanded.
It is estimated that they now market
annually approximately $1.50O,O0O,OO0
worth of commodities. They are of
very diverse forms and sizes. For
the most part, where they have been
successful they have centered their
activities on some one product, or on
related products, in given area. The
indications are that with the continued
success Of these enterprises and with
the proper educational effort and d.
rection they will develop even more
rapidly in the future. Through bull
letins, news articles. and lectures the
department of agriculture has endeav-
ored to stimulate these efforts.
"The department is requesting in
creased funds to make this extension
possible and will take the necessary
action promptly If the appropriations
are made"

A Government Bureau campaion

b., The Kenyon sub committee of the
Senate on privileges and elections is
beginning hearings on allegations
that political propaganda is being
carried on by administrative depart
ments and bureaus of the govern
IL ent. Charges are made that federal
Office holders have been assessed for
campaign funds, that political
speeches are being written by gov
eminent employees, on the peoples
time and under the peoples pay, and
that these speeches are franked all
over the country. The worst charge
of all is the one laid to the doors of
the bureau of education, whose
publications are said to contain very
biassed editorials.
1t is not stated, but possibly the
testimony may reveal. whether these
alleged partisan publications are in
tended for teachers or pupils or both.
If they are for pupils they are all the
more outrageous, for young pupils
capnot be expected to be wise enough
to detect the partisan appeal if it ex-
lists. Children are taught in school to
| respect the government and If they
read government literature at all,
they are likely to esteem it for truth.
The same is true to less extent of
teachers. While it may be presumed
that the teachers possess acumen
enough to detect any marked parti-
! sonship in government publication,
| nevertheless they have had a whole
some esteem for the Washington bu-
| reau Of education and are inclined to
accept it's documents at very nearly
face value.
1t isn't so bad to try to turn the
general public toward the party can
didate. That is perfectly fair and
legitimate; but when it comes to do
ing it on government money and
government time, and when it comes
to trying to influence the minds of
I the nations educators and their pu-
pills, it is high time for a thorough
going investigation to prove the truth
or .falsity of such charges.
