Among the special things that Paris
has provided for summer wear are
beautiful sweaters In artificial SILK,
silk and wool and in silk and metal
From standpoint of fashion. observes
correspondent, woman will not accept
the mannish sports sweater. The
smart Parisienne wants something
more dressy and more becoming. with
her the sweater blouse Is worn to
take the place Of lingerie or silk
blouse and Is not intended to be re-
moved as our sweaters are, conse-
quently 1t is not nearly so much of
real sports garment.
A well known designer In Paris, who
was at one time premiere In one
Of the big dressmaking shops, has es-
tablished herself as an authoritative
creator of the best and most artistic
In this type Of sweater blouse. She
has placed her models successfully
with prominent dressmakers who are
receiving great many orders for
them.
Some of the best of these models.
the knitted blouse type.
We have had knitted blouses and
knitted dresses for some time. but
they, like everything else, are one of
the things which fashion takes up cas-
ually and as casually lays aside. until
some day one of these hitherto careless
ly considered articles of dress sudden
ly becomes decided craze, often last
Ing much longer than its most Opti-
mistic sponsors hoped for. There Is
every indication that the knitted blouse
and the knitted dress and suit Will
be prominent for autumn, so that 1t
is quite safe to stock ones wardrobe
with them.
Tailored Suits In Small Gray Checks.
Although French women recently
have shown an unusual amount Of en-
thusiasm over certain types of tailored
suits, their conception of sport
suit Is quite different from that of
the English woman or the American.
The Parisienne likes the soft woolens
in bright shades and with considerable
adornment.
In suits of knitted fabrics, any num-
ber of which are being made up, not
only for immediate wear but for au-
tumn and winter showing, the French
eschew the conservative coat and skirt
type, preferring those of the skirt and
Jumper or overblouse sort. Although
little variety Is seen in the cut, much
of II is introduced In other and more
unusual ways. For instance. II the
suit is of brushed wool 1t is made up
wrong side out; that Is, with the
brushed side on the inside of the gar
ment and the plain side out. This
gives the desired warmth for outdoor
games in winter and also has a prac-
tical idea back of 1t. We all know the
unpleasantness Of having twigs and
leaves as well as dust catch on the sur
face of brushed wool garment.
Most interesting suits consisting Of
skirt, high-necked overblouse with
a smart matching tie and little hat
or cap, all knitted, are being shown
by exclusive firms featuring sport
clothing. These will be worn In the
mountains this summer and will doubt

Gray Checked Suit Which Is the
Craze of the Moment in Paris.

placed on the collar, around the sleeves
and bottom and forming the belt. The
metal is knitted in the front in
rather complicated way.
Reverting to the type of suit re-
ferred to previously as being one
which has taken a tremendous hold
on the public taste at the present
time, 1t Is interesting not only as
fashion but as illustrative Of the con-
tinuously varying demand which gives
rise to the mushroom success from
time to time of quite obscure dress
makers and the equally sudden fall
Of others in the proportion that they
are able to create new type or popu-
larize an old one at the crucial mo-
ment when that particular style hap
pens,~for some reason or another, to
please the public to an unusual de-
gree.
At the present time O'Rossen, the
tailor, is a big competitor of the dress
maker. There Is nothing striking about
the suit which has been his greatest
success. 1t consists of a straight skirt
and coat almost exactly like the
oldtime riding-habit jacket with snug
fitting coat sleeves, small collar and
long revers to the waistline where one
button is placed In link form. The
coat has a slight flare. To be abso-
lutely what Is demanded at the mo-
ment the suit must be of lightweight
iron gray checked material, the checks
being so small that they are almost in
visible.
Vest Blouse Comes Into Prominence.
The popularity Of the suit, of course,
creates a like demand fer blouses.
This Is always welcome news to the
blouse makers, who, having the vari-
able winds of fashion so seldom I'LL
their sails during the last few years,
are on the alert to take advantage Of
everything that will stimulate their
business. Consequently they are bend
Ing all their energies toward creating
pleasing models.
The great popularity Of the tailored
suit brings into unusual prominence
the vest blouse. All of the smart shops
now are specializing In these, and
among the most chic Of the recent
modeis is the gilet blouse, the front
Of which is developed In soft pearl
gray kid embroidered In blue. 1t has
the back and sleeves of pearl gray
georgette.
In almost every instance the gilet
blouse has the back and sleeves of
contrasting material, usually Of
sheerer fabric than that used for the
front. Double-breasted vest blouses
of the mannish. type have fronts Of
embroidered linen with sleeves and
back OF sheer organdie.

sort from white satin and embroi.

riers, therefore, must be maintained
from the time of migration until pos
sibly two or three weeks have elapsed.
Sow a Trap Crop.
It will be found Of much value TO
SOW two drill widths of mIllet between
corn and the nearby fields Of wheat
and rye. The more quickly this Is
done the better, so as to make as good
growth as possible Of this trap crop
before the bugs attack 1t. When the
bugs have migrated into the trap
crop 1t should be plowed seven or
more inches deep. Care must be
taken to plow deeply and well, then
to pack the ground with drag or
harrow or roller. Little time or work
is required to make this strip and the
cost Is small. 1t has hitherto been
found very profitable.

HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD

Among the many instances Of heroic
service in rescue work during the
Pueblo flood disasters, that Of two
boy scouts stands out conspicuously.
On hearing that man and his young
son were>trapped in burning build
ing, surrounded by the ever rising
tides of onrushing water, they hastily
manned a lifeboat and pulled through
the dangerous current to the burning
building. The owner Of the place and
his son were rescued with great risk,
not only because Of the floods but be-
cause the burning building was being
shaken by terrific explosions all the
time from the lime stored therein.
Having discovered that three en-
ployees were also in the burning plant,
the scouts returned second time,
battling desperately with the waters,
and got the other victims also to
safety. Hardly had they gotten into
the boat when another more violent
explosion occurred and the building
crumbled and fell into the water.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of AgricultureJ
Energetic measures against the
chinch bugs which threaten injury not
only to the wheat and rye crops Of
Missouri but 10 corn as well are
urged by the bureau of entomology
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, In view Of reports Of an impend-
ing outbreak of the pest In that state.
Widespread and severe infestations
OF the pest are reported In the whole
central Mississippi valley region,
starting In northern Texas and ex-
tending In northeasterly direction
over Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri,
touching Nebraska, and extending
across Illinois and Indiana into Mich
igan.
Generally Distributed Through state.
The chinch bugs, latest advices say,
have had mild winter and are gen.
orally distributed throughout the
Missouri wheat and rye fields, breed
Ing In considerable numbers In the
st. Louis neighborhood early In May.
The farmers, 1t is said, have been
watching the pest more closely than
usual this spring, but all Of them do
not know yet that there Is danger that
their corn may be damaged worse
than normal last year. Wheat Is
likely to ripen one or two weeks
earlier this year, and the rains have
delayed the planting Of corn.
The bugs are certain to migrate
when the wheat ripens and the corn
will be so backward that damage by
the bugs Is likely to be very severe.
1t Is well to expect the bugs to begin
migrattng to corn as soon as the wheat
butts begin 80 harden into maturity
ten days before the heads are ripe.
Any barrier work or creosote repellant
line work should begin as the bugs
will migrate In increasing numbers as
the wheat stalk ripens upward. The
binder will shake loose those not al
ready out and stragglers will continue
to migrate In serious numbers for five

MOTHER DESERVES GOOD TURN

A Washington, d. c., Scoutmaster
in speaking Of the good turn says
zone fellow more entitled to our good
turn and courteous and loving con-
sideration than any other is MOTHER.
She has done whole lot for us. On
our account she has given up parties
and pleasures, pretty dresses, warm
coats and new hats. She has sat up
nights to care for us or mend our
clothes. She has worked and prayed
for us. In fact there doesn't seem to
be anything she has not done for us
and we can't even half repay her. Any
scout who let's a whole day pass with
out doing something to make mother
glad is scout who fails to live up
to the standard of Troop 3d.

SEPARATE PENS FOR POULTRY
Not Wise Plan to Keep Geese, Ducks,
Chickens and Turkeys Together
In Same Yard.

It pays to keep each variety Of poul-
try to itself. Ducks and geese will
foul hen yard; geese will drive away
all others at feeding time and hog
everything, while young turkeys may
be killed by hens and roosters. A
separate lot for each Is best, and will
soon pay for itself In quicker growing
stock. In addition. 1t Is more convent
ent to handle each when kept to itself.
Usually all that Is necessary is an in
dividual feeding yard.

that? Guess before you read on.
Club members in the pig-feeding
club (producing pork) made their pigs
gain 1.19 pounds, while those raising
gifts to breed put 1.12 pounds per day
on their pigs. That was a good dem

fed and cared for, will do much bet
