BROWN AND ECRU ARE SMART
Warmer Shades are Given Preference
over Gray Toned BIouses for
Fall Wear.

Though there are many gray-toned
blouses among the autumn models,
one notes a tendency to get away from
the rather overdOne dove shade and
a strong tendency toward the brown
tones. In tailored suits brown Is an
extremely fashionable color for au-
tumn; some Of the most distinguished
French tailleurs are in coffee brown,
or fawn, or beaver brown, and, Of
course blouses in the brown, tan and
ecru tones will go with these brown
tailored suits There is one color that
simply will not go with brown-and
that color is gray. Almost all other
shades may be combined smartly or
harmOniOusly-but never brown and
gray!
Black is another mOdish color for
tailored suits and with these black
suits gray, rather than tan blouses,
will make the proper harmony. SO
there are plenty of gray-toned blouses,
though brown, tan and ecru ones are
far more numerous. One ecru georgette
blouse is trimmed with deep cream
Venice lace and is mounted over
sleeveless slip of fiesh-tinted chiffon.
The vestee and square neck are in
line with the new mode and the deep
collar coming far down at either side
of the lace vestee is graceful. The
sleeves are just over the elbow and
are trimmed, like the collar, with
dangling crochet ornaments. This
blouse comes just over the waistline
and has narrow folded sash which
loops over once at the back, with
short ends weighted with the crochet
ornaments.

AIMING FOR PUREBRED SIRES
Western Cow Testing Association

High-class Bulls.

An effort is being made by the CO.
operative cOw-testing association lead
ers In the western states to make the
bulls Of their associations 100 per cent
purebred. That there is much interest
in this movement is shown by the
fact that the report recently received
from the western Office of the dairy
division United States Department of
Agriculture. shows that recently two
associations have been added to the
100 per cent list. These are the Sacra-
mento-YOlO and the San Diego, both

Frocks of Velveteen.

The ever popular sleeveless frock
may now be secured in velveteen. 1t
is said that already there has been
evidenced a strong demand for these
sleeveless frocks of velveteen, present
ed in black, navy and brown, and that
buyers are enthusiastic about them.
Their diversity lies in their neck and
pocket treatment and in their embel-
lishment.
Military braid is one establishment
medium employed, and is seen Outlin-
ing necklines and sleeve holes, as well
as marking pocket sections. Some Of
the pockets affect a shield shape,
while others are in slanting order.

LOVE TOKEN is NOT WANTED
Resort "Bud" AdVertises When Pin
Owner Fails to Call for
Frat Pin.

On Saturday night at the shore no
tel where Florence spends the sum-
mer, cottagers and week enders ap-
pear on the ballroom floor for the
weekly dance. On these occasions
Florence dances with so many men
she can't remember all their names.
It was after one of these Saturday
night dances that Florence found she
was wearing a fraternity pin. A
blond-haired boy whom she had just
met coaxed her to take the pin while
sitting beneath the moon. Florence
kept the pin for several days and
then became anxious over the owners
failure to return for it. So she placed
the following advertisement in the To-
cal paper:
"YOung man with blond hair who
gave girl fraternity pin while sitting
by the sun dial during a dance at the
hotel last Saturday night will please
call for his pin."-New York Sun.

MORE MILK NOW BEING USED
Consumption Has Doubled Since 1890,
But Is Far Below Amount
Used in Europe.

prepared by the United States Depart
msnt of Agriculture)
Forty-four gallons of milk is used
by each person in the United States
annually, according to estimates made
by the dairy division of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This estimate refers to whole milk
and does not include that which is
consumed in the form of ice cream,
cheese, and butter. The amount is
about twice as much as that used in
1890, when the per capita cOnsump-
ton was approximately % gallons.
The dairy specialists point out thar
the increase in the use Of milk in the

last thirty years is as great as that
in the preceding 28O years.
The present-day consumption Of
milk in the United States, they say
is equal to about one pint per day, or
as much as two small glasses Thar
is not great amount when it is
known that it includes not only the
milk that is used for drinking, but
also that used in cooking. This is
small amount compared to the per
capita consumption in some European
countries. In Sweden and Switzer-
land, for example, nearly 70 gallons
are used by each person annually.
A high value has always been
placed on cows in many European
countries, and history records a cam
paign conducted by Julius Caesar in
central Europe where he found Ger
man tribes living almost exclusively
on milk. In order to provide pastures
for their cows they forcibly resisted
the settlement of any people near
them.
In relating the growth Of the dairy
industry in this country, the depart
ment specialists say that in pioneer
days each family kept it's own COW.
The denser the population became the
more important it was to have a well
regulated and ample commercial sup
ply of milk. Gradually the number
of cows increased, and in time a dairy
business grew up in various sections.
The development Of modern methods
in the distribution of milk, with eco
nOmic sanitary handling, has been
closely accompanied by the larger use
Of this food, they say.
Much of the milk now used in cities
comes many miles, and recently i'm
proved methods have made it pos
sible to ship it for long distances in
refrigerator cars. At the national
dairy show in Chicago in 1919, milk
shipped from the Pacific coast took
first prize in the market-milk compe-
titiOn with the highest score ever CIV
en- to milk in recent years.
Cities have always used a smaller
amount of milk in proportion to the
number Of people than general farm
ing communities, the statistics show.
For example, Philadelphia reached the
rate of % gallons per capita in 1905,
which was fifteen years later than the
country at large reached a cOnsump-
ton of % gallons. There are, how
ever, many agricultural and nOnagri-
cultural rural districts where cows
are not kept and where modern meth
DDS of milk distribution are not equal
to most cities. The people in such
places have to depend on canned milk
of various kinds, and this, the dairy
men say, is an exceedingly valuable
means of supplying a need which 20
or 80 years ago could not have been
supplied at all.

sashes.

The sash continues to be prominent
and it is no difficult task to make this
of the dress material or ribbon, and
then knot up some silk for the fringe
edging, but for the woman who does
not care to do this herself there are
ready-made sashes in large variety to
be had in the ribbon section. They
can be had in plain or fancy ribbons,
among which the Roman stripes are
prominent. The home dressmaker can
save 81 or more by buying two yards
Of ribbon and making fringe herself.

AnoNC THE PEopLK

To the Edi.sr:--
The letter o, A Voter" ia the Jour
nsl q last week eonta - much good
sense bat the writer aOes not touch the
real question in issue
There ls no question whatever about
the extravaganza Of children OF the
present time. They spend much more
money than Is good for them and they
have too many diversions. They
would be much better fitted for the
world IL they had 70 work for at leas,
part Of their education. The chill
dren are not TO blame because most Of
their parents set the example for
them.
There is no question a. to whether
the ehildless shall pay for educating
other peoples children, or whether the
poor shall pay taxes for schools where
children Of the rich may attend. In
this country there is no distinction in
the public schools. Rich and poor
alike attend schools supported by both
rich and poor. Our laws now provide
q high school education for all chill
dren, and Burr and Burton Seminary
is the only place at present where a
Manchester boy or girl may secure a
high school education at the towns eI-
pense The town will not pay any tut
ton in any other school and by law il
cannot do so.
II would perhaps be good thing II
there was a law by which a town
would be obliged TO pay only for the
high school education Of needy chill
dren, but such is not the law There
fore, by it's vote, the town may have
succeeded emily in depriving certain
poor students Of such an education.
Ts those who can afford it, the extra
thirty dollars tuition is not q serious
matter, and their children will not suf-
fer, and probably will not be denied
any luIuries to pay this amount. The
result Of this vote was not Of any
great Importance except to those who
are going to really suffer by it.
So long as the law provides that
towns shall pay for high school edaca-
ton, we will have to pay it, and for
the benefit Of rich and poor alike. and
there is one thing certain: II we
build and maintain a town high
school giving all the educational adj
vantages for which towns are required
by law to provide, we will all have to
pay more taxes than ever before and
We will not be able to select those who
shall have the benefits Of the school.
"A Voter" says that the few who
cannot afford to pay the present SEM
mary tuition can easily be taken care
Of. II it is as easy to do 1t as it Is to
say il let 1t be done.
