OF INTEREST TO. WOMEN

Spanish shawls are gaining in popu- larity.
 Silk ratine is used for suits, skirts and separate wraps.
 Black shoes are worn with any color costume or stockings
 The girl who goes in for smart sport tOgs will find herself in wool all sum- mer.
 Tiny, close-fitting turbans made of cOlored lacquered leaves are very smart.
 One of the fancies of the moment is the matching of the frock with wrap Things.
 Adorable frOcks for summer are made of handkerchief linen and trimmed with Organdie flowers.
 A newer fringe trimming Is achieved by fringing the fabric itself. One finds plaid sport skirts finished at the edge in this way.
 Short boomers with the shorter chemise are being worn most now in the way of underclothing. Boomers lend themselves well to the tailored skirt.
 little girls bathing suit Is of navy blue jersey with rather tight fitting boomers and a straight tunic. The latter shows embroidery of coarse white wool and white wool forms the belt at the waistline.

CANNING BUDGET IS
 LATEST SCHEME TO
 AIDFAMlLY HEALTH
Greens and Tomatoes Should Be Served Twice Weekly, Says
 Stat Experts.

A canning budget What is it.: Simply a method to prevent waste ot time and effort and means of i'm proving the nutrition of the ta1nlIy. How many housewives have canned jars and jars of tomatoes, corn, peas, etc, and have not used them up be- fore the next canning season came around? How many families have had to have string beans and more string beans during the last winter months because there was a surplus canned or the more preferred Vcget5 ables were used earlier i'll the season:
 Working on a basis of seven months or 30 weeks when fresh foods will have to be supplemented by canned foods, plan how many times a week a certain vegetable Is to be served, how many serYings 1 m a can ,, and you have working baS1S on which to plan your budget,
 The canning club girls are being urged 10 work along these lines this year and are advised to can greens (cultivated O rwild) so that they could week. These will supply not only iron and lime, which are usually lacking in the winter diets of American fami- lies, but they also contain those nm, portant substances, vltamneS A ana B.
 The canning of tomatoes in gcncr- Ous amounts is also urged-tO be served at least as frequently as greens. Tomatoes contain the anti scorbutic vitamine which is not wide ly distributed, usually unstable or heating, but necessary for the good health of the body, especially the teeth.
 The legumes (green peas, string and lima beans) are also sources ot iron and lime and could be advan- tageously used twice week. .
 Working on this basis enough ot the other Vegetables should be canned
 This budget is made up on the basls of one canned vegetable daily. To these should be added the fresh vegetables which are kept through the winter by other methods. Geget- ables, other than potatoes should ap- pear in the family menus at least 10 times a week.
 Fruits should be canned in sufficient amounts to supply every member, of the family with some twice day. whenever uncanned fruits other than bananas, such as apples, oranges nru,ae etc are not uSed

ALLEGED EFFICIENCY IS BLUFF, NOT BRAINS
Captains of Industry Helpless in Hard Times, Says
 World.

New York, Aug. 12. - The alleged efficiency of "industrial captains" is more a matter of bluff than brains, says the New York World, which cruelty dispels one of the country's cherished fables.
 "The tradition of American indus trial efficiency staggers ever yother day or so under some unexpected blow,' says this paper
 Just at present the committee of the American engineering council on elimination of waste in industry reports that idle men and machinery in the metal trades arc causing a loss in the neighborhood of a billion a year The main causes of waste, in the opinion of the engineers, are faulty management and failure to find working basis for dealing with la bor. But hardly less important are limitations on output resulting from market conditions and the refusal to reduce prices to where they would become attractive.
 "'It is evident,' the report reads, that management of labor must be elevated to higher plane. Because labor is the major factor in most if not all industries, 1t should be led by recognized intelligence rather than by radical agitators on the one hand or by stupid reactionaries on the other"
 'Here, undoubtedly, the engineers have put their finger on the cause of greatest loss and greatest friction. There has been in such organizations as the steel corporation a determined effort to control labor without under: standing it. The policy has divided the men between the need of their jobs and the love of their freedom.
 ''In good times, when credit is easy and everybody buys, any indus try looks efficient In hard times we discover that the efficiency of manu- lecturers is more matter of bluff than of brains"

BUY ONLY UNION-MADE GOODS
To Build New Rome
 On Top of the Old
Americans Asked to Construct Light Houses on Ancient Flat
 Roofs.

Rome, Aug. I2.-Rome will become a city of odd appearance if the plans for the solutio nof the housing prob lem proposed by some Italian engi- neers are put in operation The pro posal is to build on the flat roofs of most of the buildings in Rome light houses of three and four stories.
 The engineers have placed their ideas before Henry Colt MacClean, United States commercial attache to the American embassy. They have asked that American capital become interested in the project.
 The material for the whole of the scheme, according to the engineers suggestions, would come from Amer ica because of the adaptability of American light construction methods in the choice of materials and means of assembling.
 MT. MacClean has succeeded nj in teresting several American business men in the project and other projects along the line of building construc- ton in Rome.

national department of agriculture
have adequate support to serve such
mammoth industry properly. If
organization will do this we shall hear
less of opposition to this or that bill
or appropriation dubbed by the un.
thinking, "for the farmers.
THIS is another phase l never could
quite understand. Why do we not all
realize that money spcrt to advance
agriculture, to increase the yields and
improve the qualities, is money spent
to produce food and clothing for the
whole people? Why can we not rea-
,.ize that in advancing American ag-
riculturc we are helping American
business? That is just what happens
every time you vote to help out IN
solving some of the troublesome prob
lens of agriculture, because there
isn't thing on the farm in which a
business man is not vitally interested.
1t would be a poor time in America
when our farmers fell into the peas
ant class. But this they'll never do,
because American business is going to
see to it that our agriculture progress

needs it.
Let me suggest visit, some day,

when YOU are in Washington. You can
learn enough in either place to con-
ye.t you thoroughly from any pre-
iudices. For instance, few days

only oranges and, possibly marina

: We know that during the world
war agriculture was our chief maln-

credit them with the proper degree of

Business men are learning how I'M
portant it is to have our farm families
maintain a high standard Of living.
Ehey are interested or should be, IN
seeing that farmers receive fair
treatment in marketing. They know
such fair treatment will provide
means--funds-wh will flow into
business channels because farmers
are, in normal times, liberal buyers
of good merchandise. Already they
own 70 per cent or more of the coun-
trvs automobiles. Of late years they
have shown a fine tendency toward
electric lighting systems for their
homes, and many other Improvements
not found in all town or city homes.
Modern structures with plumbing are
becoming commonplace. Farmers are
good customers, to be encouraged and
studied. and liked by business men.
Individual interest won't answer
the problem. Men must take an or
ganized interest in it. Every business
organization ought to devise ways
and means of making sure that farm
ers in the surrounding territoy have
free, open, and competitive facilities
for marketing their products in the
