Possibility That That State May Be-

Within a few years the Salton sea

the center of the worlds date culture.
thanks to the efforts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. For nearly twenty
years the bureau of plant industry has
been endeavoring to procure shoots of
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly, or
Wahi, and Sewi varieties. So difficult
was the source Of the splendid fruit
to trace that, up to 1913, only a few
shoots had been procurable. At that
time an immense grove of 100000 of
the palms in the oasis of Dakhla, Tunis,
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase of
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded, the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is ac-
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

book of Miss Noyes, director of Amer
lean Red Cross nursing service, pub
lished in the Red Cross Bulletin They
give hint of activities among the
children, as seen from Durazzo to
PodgoritZa:
Leaving Durazzo on Sunday after
noon, by car, we arrived in Tirana in
the late afternoon. Here again we
found a personnel house, with Miss
McClann as hostess. This station
seemed to embrace the headquarters
for the financial agent, Mr.. Crawley,
the director of Junior Red Cross, and
the transportation and supply offices.
To Tirana, the present capital of Al
bania, various experts in government
had been brought to advise the ruling
group which had been established. 1t
was interesting to meet several Amer
leans, including Mr.. Dako, from Bos-
ton, and his sister-in-law. Miss Karies,
graduate of Oberlin college, Ohio
who had been sent by the Junior Red
Cross to assist in the organization Of
technical school. DR.. Reynolds was
also stationed at this point, acting in
an advisory capacity to the work
throughout Albania.
There were three separate cottages,
one for the office and men personnel,
the others for women. The schools
had been well developed, under the
auspices of the Junior Red Cross, and
Miss McQuaide, an American Red
Cross nurse, was doing the same type
of work for the school children and
the refugees as that which was being
done in Durazzo The same situation,
as to lack of facilities for the children
and refugees prevailed here. The
housing was in stables, buildings that
had been partially destroyed by fire,
and the like. Soup distribution was
taking place from tent; the Al
banians had provided for the cooking
and the help, while the Red Cross
supervised the distribution and pro-
vided the food. There was a morning
| ration of cocoa and an afternoon ra-
ton of hot soup which contained
| meat, beans and lentils. shall never
forget the pathetic line Of children
and adults-ragged, forlorn and de-
pressed, for whom there seemed, as
one watched them, absolutely no hope.
| From Tirana we went to Scutari.
Here, also, we found a comfortable
Red Cross personnel house with three
Red Cross workers-Miss Cleveland.

Vest Blouse In Prominence

The popularity of the suit, of course,
creates a like demand for blouses.
This is always welcome news to the
blouse makers, who, having the vari-
able winds Of fashion so seldom fill
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
models 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
a contrasting material, usually of a
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.

Lace Frocks Stylish.

The prettiest dresses of the season
are lace, and lace frock is really a
practical affair when there is dark
silk lining and the bodice is made
high at the back. Brown lace is es-
pecially fashionable and there are
many gray laces as well. One brown
lace frock is lined with brown satin
meteor, which comes only halfway up
in the bodice lining, flesh chiffon max
ing the section over the shoulders. The
brown lace bodice has sleeves to the
elbow. With this frock a sash of
brown and cerise double-faced ribbon
is worn.

Knitted Blouse
and Dress Here

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 it is not nearly SO much of
real sports garment.
A well known designer In Paris, VINO
was at one time a 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,
just received from Paris, are all of
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

EASY TO DISTINGUISH TUNES
Even One Unfamiliar With Music Could
Tell the Difference by Listen
ing Close.

Two gentlemen from away back in
The big sticks sat one night in st.
Louis cabaret and listened to the
chortling of frst-class, A No. jazz
orchestra. One of the gentlemen dis
played a lively interest in the music
being produced; from time to time he
even beat lively accompaniment with
his feet.
His companion displayed no such
interest; he actually appeared bored
by the proceedings. He apparently
could not understand the city's peculiar
music. At last he said to his friend !:
bill, whut tune is it them birds hey
been playin' all EVENING""
Tunnel" snorted Bill. "You pore
prune; they've played a millyun tunes.
Can't you tell one tune frum another?"
"Gosh, no. They all sound alike to
me. How do you tell 'em apart?
You're so blame smart"
Huh! Why don't you listen close?
Some of 'em are heap longer than the
others. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Tapestry Embroidery Affords Winsome
Decorations Similar to Those OF
Grandmothers Day.

Tapestry embroidery, the very same
work our grandmothers did as girls,
is one of the newest things in needle
work. 1t is worked on the soft Aida
canvas or on the coarse weave con-
gress canvas, and is done with silk
or wool yarn and tapestry needle.
If the work is to be done in cross
stitch work the Aida canvas is the
better. For other tapestry stitches the
congress is preferred.
ANY filet lace pattern may be done
in tapestry as well as the many pat
terms designed for the work itself.
Cross stitch is really the simplest
method and the artistic effect depends
only on having the top threads of the
title X which fills every square mesh

In Defense of corsets.

Sir James Camille, the great surgeon
and authority on tropical diseases, is
a warm defender Of corsets. In his
opinion the comparative absence of
liver troubles in women is due large
ly TO the equable temperature their
bodies obtain through wearing cor
sets. And more boys than girls die
fin childhood because the former do
not wear corsets. He urges men to
wear cholera belts-a strip of flannel
around the waist-to give them the
protection that corsets give to women.

Miuht Do for Anesthetie.

In many Of the rural districts of the
United States where money does not
circulate with great rapidity, services
are paid for 'in kind" Farmers, for
example, will give potatoes, eggs, ETC.,

who had occasion to operate in one of
these districts, hopefully approached

for his fee, which amounted to 500.

Efficient Reading.

The only way to read with any ef-
ficiency is to read so heartily that din
ner time comes two hours before you
expect it. To sit with your Livy before
yeu and hear the geese that saved
the capital cackling, and to see with
your own eyes the Carthaginian suffers
gathering up the rings of the Roman
knights after the battle of Cannae and
heaping them into bushels; and to be
so intimately present at the actions Of

which you are reading that when any
one knocks at the door it will take you
two or three seconds to determine
whether you are in your study or on

Hannibals weather-beaten face-that
is the only kind of study that is not
tiresome, almost the only kind that is
not useless.-Sydney Smith.

CurfeW Has Worked Well,

In the Middle ages a bell was rung
as a signal for fires to be covered up
for the night and consequently for the
people to go to bed. The word curfew
IS derived from the French words,
couvrir, to cover, and feu, fire. In the
United States curfew has been
sounded to warn young people to be
within doors unless accompanied by
adults. 1t is said that over 5000
towns and cities in this country now

Spanish influence

To Spain, that country of narrow
streets and wide skirts, designers have
gone for inspiration. Thus the very full
skirts of the new frocks often are
punctuated with ball trimming which
you remember having seen on the fly
ing skirts of some Spanish dancer.

benefit to farmers. The common
phoebe is also known as pewee and as
pewit. It. however, should not be
confused with the wood pewee, which
is different species of fiycatcher.

Color Hint.

If you are not amply supplied with
money, it is good idea to select one
color for your tone for season and
buy everything to harmonic with that
tone. Then, by changing combinations,
you may have several outfits at small
er cost.

The Clever New Sleeve.

The cut OF some of the new sleeves
is a feature worth noting. Each
sleeve has two openings. The arm
may be slipped through the opening
on the inside sleeve. the hand may
continue on down until it reaches the
conventional opening, making the
sleeve a wrist length affair.

a part of the curriculum as reading
and arithmetic 1t is carrying forward
the school garden army idea, now so
popular in America, not only TO meet
a severe shortage, but also to set up
barrier against its recurrence in the
future.
The school children of America are
greatly interested in the success of
these italian agricultural schools, for
they are aiding in the maintenance of
more than 800 children in such schools
and orphanages through the agency
of the Junior department of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
The farm school at Seize is typical
of these Italian Institutions Here 100
children from the streets of Rome,
war orphans and children who lost
their parents in the'inf1uenza epidemic
that swept Italy the year following
the World war, are being taught agrf-
culture and given the rudiments of an
education while being well cared for
and open air. Their ages range from
8 years to lads in their early teens.
The farm school at Seize is unusual
because it is delivering practical farm
results in spite of the youth of the
pupils. These youngsters are manag-
ing wheat fields, truck gardens and
barnyards in a way which brings in
"a fair profit and goes far toward feed
ing the community in which they are
placed. The fact that these children
are responsible for the economic re-
birth of the town is generally appre-
ciated in the neighborhood, and the
school is regarded as the business CEN
ter of the village

the boys are recOnstructing the school
building, an ancient monastery which
is rapidly being turned into a modern
structure with first-rate equipment. A
new wing is well under way and
American shower baths are being in
stalled. The school is not rich enough
TO hire any outside labor, even if such
labor could be procured. So the chill
dren of the orphanage are taking the
place of the bricklayers and plasterers.
in real sense, this school is a CO
operative experiment, because each
boy is given personal responsibility
in the farming and a personal share
ip the results.
These Italian children have a great
affection for their friends of the Amer
ican Junior Red Cross. A few months
ago a dollar bill arrived at the school
anonymously in an envelope which
had come from the United States, evil
IDENTIFY sent by some one who had
heard about the school. 1t was de-
cided that the gift was too precious
to change into lire for ordinary use.
1T was therefore framed and placed
in the dining room. 1t may be taken
from its frame when a special or press
ing need arrives. Meanwhile. the
anonymous dollar hangs there as a
symbol of the good will which makes
American children the big brothers and
big sisters of those young farmers of
