style features of Importance in grown
up apparel. "Just like mama's" ap-
pears to be a strong argument in fav-
or of anything that little ladies from
four to eight have the privilege of
choosing for themselves. In utility
coats there are such amusing little
affairs as the miniature shown above
where a brown, rough surface cloth
is made up with machine stitching
for decoration on its wide, cape. collar
and roomy sleeves and narrow belt
that crosses at the front and buttons
at each side. 1t is as much like
grown-ups' in these features as 1t can
be.
Similar coats with narrower collars
are shown in sturdy wool materials
woven in youthful pattern, as black
and white checks, tan or grey with
small cross bars in green or red
navy and red-or other lively COM
binations. 1t is the material that is
featured in these and not the style
which is simply the straight coat
with plain sleeve and round collar.
They fasten with bone buttons.

FEEDING AND CARE OF HOGS
Pedigree Alone Is Not Sufficient to
Make Satisfactory Animal
Management Counts.

Two men attended q sale of pure

sold year later for little more
than half of that amount. The 9TH

gilt was worth the original price, but
lack of development made the second
price a fair one. The second gilt sold
high enough, in the judgment OF the
sale crowd; proper development our

than trebled her value. Any advsn-

appointment, the other a profit and

A MEXICAN women have been edu-
A Gated in footwear up to point
where they are more fastidious than
discriminating. They have long been
shod with the most graceful and ex-
quisitely finished of shoes and have
come to give more and more attention
to style and daintiness and somewhat
less to appropriateness. This sweep
ing assertion does not apply to all OF
them, but holds good for a majority,
as one may prove by watching pedes-
TRANS in any city. The trend of de-
mand is for less substantial and more
dainty footwear, and the new shoes
for this spring are answering this de-
mand. A half-dozen pairs of the most
practical shoes found in the displays
are shown here, together with reg
ulation pair of smart sport shoes such
as the real golfer insists upon own
ing. These are comfortable and sty-
lish with a chic of their own which
belongs to well-made utility shoes of
all kinds. The discriminating woman
is conscious of it, as she is Of the
fitness Of other apparel to it's uses,
but there are women who cannot
"see" the utility shoe.
The new styles will please the low
ers Of dainty footwear, for shoes are
much elaborated. Low shoes of all
kinds, from evening slippers to sports
slippers, fill the horizon, having almost
displaced the high shoe for the COM
ing season and having gone long
way toward usurping it during the
winter. Straps and buckles. or but

communists, led by Sig. Dombacci; the
largest faction consisting of unionists
who are led by Sig. Serrati, a ex-
perienced politician.
The remainder of the party is made
up of moderates.
The Catholics are split, the right
wing having as the chief item of its
program the solution of the Roman
question" The left wing of the party
comprises the Catholic extremists, but
the bulk of the Catholics have formed
an organization under the name of the
popular party.

Applique figures cut from one leather

beautifully handled by them, and are
the best possible choice for footwear.

Another note from Secretary Hughes,
of vast import, was sent to Germany
In reply to requests from Berlin for
a statement Of the administrations
attitude in the matter of reparations.
This document dashed the hopes. of
the Germans that the refusal of Amer
lea to ratify the treaty of Versailles
meant an Endorsement of their efforts
TO escape punishment. They were in
formed that this government stands
with the governments of the allies in
holding Germany responsible for the
war and, therefore, morally bound to
make repsration, so far as may be
possible
The only consolation for the Ger
mans in the note was the expressed
hope that reopened negotiations may
lead to a prompt settlement which
will at the same time satisfy the just
claims of the allies and permit Ger
many hopefully to renew its produc-
tive activities"
The German note suggested that the
only solution of the PREPARATIONS prob
lem is an international loan, in favor

of which the allied and associated

the examination by unbiased experts

reply made no comment.
