In praise OF the ability Of the young

"A successful costume designer must
be responsive to the motifs and ideas
to be found In the dress and arts Of
ansient times. The classic Greek
dress is perhaps richer in suggestion
than the costume Of other anclents.
This Il because Of the beauty that the
Greeks obtained through simplicity.

WAX MUST FIRST BE HEATED
impossible to Get Light From Wax
Candle Without the Presence Of
Necessary Gases.

A wax candle really Is gastorch.
You will find that when you apply a
lighted match to the wick of candle
1t will not light readily. You have to
hold the match to the wick until the
wick burns sufficiently to heat the wax
hot enough TO turn 1t into gases which,
on mixing with the oxygen in the air,
produce the fire In the form Of light.
The candle will continue to be
lighted and to burn as long as the
wax continues not enough to give Off
the gases or until the candle is en-
tIrely consumed. Any interruption to
this process OF transforming the wax
into gas will result IN the extinguish-
ing of the light.
The reason the candle goes out
when you blow on the flame Is that
the gases which feed the flame at the
end of the wick are blown away, the
process Of turning the hot wax into
gas is interrupted and with the gas
supply shut Off the flame Is extin-
guished.ZCleveland Plain Dealer.

SPIDER ATTRACTED 81 MUSIC
According to organist, He Was Always
Sure Of One Listener When
ever He Played.

An organist, telling Of his expert
ences while playing the great instru-
ment in Boston hall, relates a pref
ty story Of his most regular listener
"a spider that had taken up his abode
in the organ case over the performers
head. 1t remained there for about
year.
II was musical little fellow, and
when the man began to play II would
spin down almost to level with his
shoulder and gently swing to and flo
and listen. When he had finished
piece 1t would draw itself mp to Its
nest. and when he began another.
down II would come again and resume
its position as an interested listener.
1t had six legs Two II put out In
the air as n balance pole, two II
handled the web with, and the third
pair 1t used in pulling itself up hand
over hand, as sailors climb rope.
The organist came at last to watch
for the little fellow, and 1t was always
faithful, so that lie was sure Of at
least one attentive and appreciatiys
listener.

Cleanup Time In Garden.
One Of the most important things Is
to clean up. You wouldn't excuse a
slovenly kept house. Well, slovenli-.
ness In the garden Is hardly more to
be tolerated. Good housekeeping In
the garden is a matter of Importance,
not merely because n slovenly garden
in winter Is the most desolate-looking
thing In mans peryersion of nature,
but because the success of next years

Most OF the diseases and insect pests
that affect garden crops live over
winter In the remains of the past sea-
sons crops. Such materials. as cab
bage stalks. bean vines, tomato vines
In fact, trash Of any sort In the gar
den--should be collected and hauled
TO dump, or burned.
Then, having the ground clean, there
Is another thing Of equal Importance.
It should not be allowed to lie bare
over winter. Ground exposed TO beat
ing rains will puddle and wash and
great loss Of plant food is sure to re-

garden In some green crop, such as
rye or winter barley. That protects
the ground and adds organic matter to
the soil. But there is. according to
garden specialists Of the United

Careful experiments in practical
work have shown that tuberculosis

tuberculin test applied by trained

as the most accurate diagnostic

limitations and with the symptoms 1t

MANURE SHOWS GREAT VALUE
Where Applied to Clover Fields II In.
creased Yield ThreefoId--
Phosphorus Helps.

Due to the cool weather Of the
spring and the freeze which occurred
early In the season, the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station has had an
opportunity to show the value of COM
mon barnyard manure on clover. 1t
has been found that where manure
was added to the fields only once in
the rotation the stand has been In
creased three times over the plots
where no manure was used.
Eight tons per acre were added to
the MANFRED plots and here the leaf
surface and root development are
heavier and better. Where phosphorus
was added at the same time as ma
nure, plants are even more vigorous
and have greater height.

dlscouragIng as designing them. Dur
Ing the last two years much time mas

taken to high collars with any amount
OF enthusiasm ; in fact, they rarely are
seen.
But collars OF the type referred to
and which are somewhat Of COM
promise between the high and low col
lar, have been In evidence of late.
Sometimes the turnover part Is much
more exaggerated. like a wide Elton
collar. These are quite becoming and
are likely to enjoy considerable popu-
larity among the younger women.

creating Fringe EFFECTS.
Fringes OF self material are featured
prominently on many of the autumn
clothes. Both cloth and crepe frocks
have novel fringe trimming achieved
by running rows of hemstitching along
cascading panels. the sleeves, or even
the bottom of the skirts, and slashing
the hemstitching to form fringe, which,
of course, leaves u picot edge on each
strand of the material. Such treat
ment Is used on the French dress.
1t seems impossible to get away from
fringe in one form or another. All OF
the great dressmakers still are using

piled to back tunic and a tuft of 1t
on the short ends of belt knotted In
the front.
On this model we see another form
Of trimming which sprang into prom
inence this summer; that is the en-
broidery pattern made by perforati0ns.
As In most perforated cloths, bright.
contrasting lining is used. Here the
dress Is of black and the lining re-
vealed through the large eyelets is
bright red.
Long capes That Match Dresses.
Long capes that hang as part Of
dress or that match the dress, but
are detachable, are among the new
fashions. A model In which cape Is
made TO appear as part of the frock
while really detachable is of black
cloth, the cape having lining Of rust
cOlored taffeta. AS 1t falls from the
shoulders, cascading effect is given
at either side, thus revealing the con-
trasting lining.

The Best Little Town

One day, not SO long ago, a party

for certain reasons, was posted in the

very knowing, remarked to the effect
that it was Just evidence Of the fact
that a bunch of d-n fools OF
Heppner had put more money into
a hotel than the one-horSe town was
able to support, and continued to
inform the stranger along the line OF
what was needed here.
The editor of this paper happened
to be standing near enough at the
time TO hear what was said, and We
know that this booster for our little
city would not like to have US call
him out, though We are personally
disposed to do so,
The point is: This town is good
enough for this man to live in; he
owns property here, BY the way, and
according to his own statement above
he might be classed in the same cat
egory with those of our citizens who
have the interest of the community
enough at heart TO invest some Of
their money in public enterprise,
even though they expected no direct
financial gain to themselves; those
who do not expect to get all they pos
sibly can out of the community with
out giving something back, and this
charge made above is indeed very
uncalled for on the part of any citi-
zen Of the community and is libel on
the good intentions Of our loyal cit
liens. We could 60 on and preach
a pretty strong sermon to small
bunch around this town, but We re-
frain. They are all known and taken
for what they are worth. Why not
catch the spirit as given in the fol-
lowing little homily, which contains
some Of the proper religion, but
whose author is to US unknown:
There are fancier towns than our
little town, there are towns that are
bigger than this, and the people who

what excitement they miss. There are

that you can't in town that's small
and yet, up and down, there is no

all. Ii may be that the streets aren't
long, they're not wide nor maybe
straight, but the neighbors you know
