WHAT'S WHAT

Men and women-especially women
appear think that IL they rig themselves
up in the carefree easy garb of the sort
which must be worn by actual competi-
tors in athletic tournaments. they are
point-device for all outdoor occasions.
That is why we so often behold the in
congruous spectacle OF golf clothes, ten
mis- clothes, boating clothes-everythin
but swimming clothes-worn by people
who do nothing more athletic than shop
ping or office work.
AS q matter Of correctness. even spec
tators at outdoor sporting events should
not wear sports costumes. When the
big league mines meet on their happy
hunting grounds the fans do not appear
in baseball uniforms nor are the men
at racs meet attired like Jockeys
Sports clothes have many convenient
uses, for camping hiking, etc, but the
spectator at tennis tournament. for
example. should be careful to wear styles
distinctly different from the knockabout
costumes of the players.

teen minutes after getting seats l noticed
that my boy friend and his girl friend
were holding hands. Being rather Gu.
he took n pood-naturedly, and said that
there was a reason for everything. Now
my question Is, What is the meaning
when two persons Of opposite sex hold
hands? Also, is 1t perfectly all right
to do this in theatre?
IGNORANCE.
It's better form not to hold hands In
public. And as Il Is q species of love-
making 1t is not to be encouraged at

USE VARIOUS FORMS or BEDS
Different Peoples Have Different Ideas
of Comfcrt-English and Aneri-
cans the Most Luxurious

The English and Americans are
the most luxurious races in the
world as regards sleeping comforts,
and after them the French. Pro-
fessional travellers of these nations
who have occasion to penetrate into
Europe generally take their beds
with them. The Chinese and Japa-
nese complain that our mattresses
are too soft for comfort. The Chi
nese use low bedsteads, often elab-
orately carved, and supporting only
mats, while the Japanese use mat
ting couch and wooden neck rest in
stead of pillow. A popularity of
the German bed is its shortness be-
sides that, it frequently consists in
part of a large down pillow or upper
mattress, which spreads over the
sleeper and usually answers the pur-
pose Of all the other ordinary bed
clothing. The Italian bed is much
bigger than ours, especially in the
north of Italy. But millions of peo-
pie in Europe, especially in Russia,
have never slept in bed in their
lives, being content with mat or a
rug on the floor.

TREES AND HONEY.

The forest holds a place of two
fold Importance in the honey indus
try, writes Hu Maxwell in the
American Forestry Magazine. First,
the bloom of trees constitutes a val
liable pasture whence bees collect
honey; and second, the wood de-
rived from the forest supplies most
of the material of which hives,
frames, stands, boxes, houses and
other appurtenances are made.
This holds true of few other in
dustries, for it is unusual that
tree supplies product and
also supplies the receptacle in which
the product is placed for storage or
for shipment 1t is proper that wood
be given due credit for the contri-
button it makes in both of these
lines.

PORCELAIN or GREAT VALUE
British Museum Has Secured One Of
the Rarest Specimens Of Chinese
Works of Art.

The Victoria and Albert museum
in England has secured a specimen
of the rarest and one of the most
costly porcelains in the world to-
day in the shape Of bowl of the ia
nous Chun ware made during the
Sung dynasty. 1t is the first speci-
men of its kind to be placed in a
public museum in Great Britain. 1t
is of the usual form, with three
small feet, and, round the side,
row of studs in relief The glaze
on the outside belongs to the class
of "transmutation" glazes, with
yariegated coloring produced solely
by skilfnl management OF the firing,
initiated in the well-known rouges
iambes of the Eighteenth century;
its color is predominately crimson,
with curdlike fecks of bluish-white
and passages of fiery rose. The in
side is covered with cloudy gray
ish-layender glaze showing where
contraction has occurred In the fir
ing, the so-called "earthworm"
markings characteristic Of early
wares Of this type The under side
has a brown glaze with oliye-green
markings, and bears the mineral
tai (7), indicating the size of the
vessel, but through the glaze before
firing il also displays another fea-
ture of the true Chun porcelain,

1t is difficult to pick up a

Short skirts are sanitary, easy

aged They are a distinct inn
provement over the trailing ones
that swept up the filth of the

Fashions in Crops Change, Only tbs
Food Staples Having Permanent
Place in Agriculture.

Fashions in harvests are as liable
to change as are other fashions Per-
haps some new invention does away
with the need of a crop, and, the de-
mand ceasing, the crop is no longer
grown This was the case with
teasles, which were once largely
grown in parts of England. They
were used for the purpose of dress
ing WOODEN goods. BY 1903 metal
carding machinery had to a great
extent taken the place of these, and
for the last few years they have not
been cultivated. The saffron crocus,
which, like the woad of the ancient
Britons, was used by the Greeks and
Romans for the purpose Of making
a dye, was fashionable crop in
England over hundred years ago.
1t was used for medicinal purposes
as well as for cookery, and the price
realized varied between IS and 81 a
pound The name Saffron Walden
is the only memorial of this crop.
Sugar beet is crop which is more
likely to become more popular in
the future. It was hardly known in
the old country until 1910, when
about 700 acres were grown; it did
not 60 out of fashion until war
made it necessary to grow other
things.

The price of farm products are
down, close to the 1914 level.
That would be fine if other com
modities were down in proper
ton. But high wages still pre-
vail in the cities in all lines. This
means that the manufacturer and
wholesaler must continue to
charge the country merchant
high prices for his goods. The
country merchant in turn must
charge the farmer in proportion
to what he himself pays to the
manufacturer or wholesaler. Very
simple and easily understood, but
anything but satisfactory to the
farmer.
