UNINlERTlN1E sets many lovely
y scenes as backgrounds for the
summer girl, or anyone else who takes
these backgrounds into consideration
when choosing her frocks. For most
of US, practical clothes for this work
aday world in which we find ourselves
are as important at least as those that
are decorative, and it happens that
the ginghams, chambrays, percales and
other dependable cottOns that make,
our frocks for work have attractions
equal to those that make the dresses OF
our leisure hours. Special designers
plan these dresses on lines that prove
as charming as any others.
But the business of living requires
us to have frocks for play and leisure,
and summer brings with it the crisp,
diaphanous stuffs that belong to it
alone. Organdie apd dotted swiss have
their day under the skies of summer,
and she is wise who makes the most
of it. These materials come in the
most exquisite and flower-like color

as snow; they are within the means
of everyone and the easiest to make
up neatly. The pretty models, as
shown in the picture, are very simply

especially so in the popular shades, as
peach, jade, orchid, pale pink, blue or
canary. Although many organdIe ana

a color and white, this dress uses only
one. 1t has a straight skirt with
wide tucks, a plain waist with tucked

sleeves are elbow length and the
gil,lle is made of organdie.
Many kinds of flowers are made OF
organdie and used for trimmings on

PLAN TO ERADICATE TICK
By AboIishing Fences infected Cattle

Enactment OF Law BY
Legislature.

Baton Rouge. Representative live
stock men from all parts OF the state
met here to discuss plans by which
cattle tick eradication can be syste'
matically carried out and a nofence
law was favored as a necessity TO sue
cess.
John Cochran of Natchitoches par
ish presided. Dr. W. R. Dodson, chalr-
man of the Louisiana Tick Eradlca-
ton League, spoke of the good WORK
that had beer done by that league, III
the way of educating the people OF the
benefits derived from tick-free terri
tory. James X. o.rdner of Calcasleu
outlined the difficulties encountered
In dealing with the herds OF cattle IN
storm.swept areas, especially such as
those in some parts of, Calcasieu since
the storm Of 1918. A thick growth OF
underbrush has sprung up in the
fallen timber, which makes it lmpos'
sible to get wild cattle out OF such
areas.
It was the consensus of opinion al.
ter hearing the difficulties that had
been encountered in cattle dipping
discussed, that the only feasible plan
would be plan by which the owner
could control his herds and dip all cat
tie. 1t was then decided that the live
stock men throughout the state urge
the legislature to enact a no-fence
law, which would prevent the free
range Of all live stock. This being
done, the state could be blocked on
into territories, having natural boun
diaries. and free all the area within
that particular territory, after which
1t would be released from quarantine
then take a similar block Of territory
with natural boundaries, and so on
until the entire state was tick free.
In the meantime, tick eradication
work need not be halted in any othel
part Of the state. and the people
which are in a minority in opposing
cattle dipping would gradually be ed
,ucated to the fact that 1t is possible
to eradicate the tick. The class VIII
oppose 1t on general principles coul'
easily see the educational advantage
it would have In the growth OF pur
bred cattle.
Governor Parker pledged his SUI
port Of any feasible plan the live stoc
men might adopt. 1t was pointed on
by several of the prominent men tina
1t would be impractical for the youn
men Of the state to attend the Create
Agricultural College and take course
on types and values OF pure bre
stock when this state is so far benin
the times that it could not produe
pure bred cattle.

Gil of Japan, which has been meeting
in Toxic, are expected to decide maj
" the course of that country with re-
s7ect to participation in the proposed
Far Eastern conference, 1t was salo
authoritatively today to be practically
certain that Japan will ask assurance
that formal agreement as to the
SCOPE of the discussions be reached
before the meeting.
Formulation Of such an agreement
1t was said, need not precede al dill
swer from Japan to the oVertures
Of Secretary Hughes, but must ID
the view Of the Japanese government
come between the reply to the Amer
lean secretary Of state and the &C.
tual meeting Of the conference. FOR
mutation of the agreement might come
before the extension of the formal
invitation to the conference; in tact,
there are some indications that tho
japanese would prefer that arrange
ment, but if not, the formal invita-
ton itself will, it is expected, make
these limitations clear.
Principal subjects for discussion by
the proposed conference under the
head of Far Eastern questions are con-
sidered in Japanese circles here to
embrace the status Of China; its rela'
ton to other governments; its com
ple1 internal economic conditions and
the possibility Of reconciling various
conflicting concessions held by for
eign governments as we'll as individ'
uals. The Japanese belief is that
there shall be no Interference by the
conference with vested rights and
concessions, but that It Is entirely
proper that efforts be made to relieve
friction that has grown out Of over
tapping claims. Japan claims certain
exclusive rights in Manchuria; Great
Britain asserts control Of a sphere Of
influence in the whole Yangste valley;
America has railway OncessiOns
through Middle China; Belgium ant
Holland also are interested financial
ly in such enterprises, while France
dominates the Chinese postal system
as a counterbalance to England
control of the Chinese maritime Gus
toms. Japan also enjoys valuable ant
exclusive rights in Fukien province
That the conference might cOnside
the framing Of some plan for,a sim
pli6cati0n Of all these concession
will be favored by Japan, it is under
stood. Incidentally, that would al
feet the American concession base
on a tobacco tax monopoly, and Nigh
| also involve a review Of the arrange
ments made by the consortium whic
undertook to finance China.
