MADE RAG FIGURE POPULAR
Russian Princess Instrumental in
Causing a Return to Pastime
That Was in Favor Long Ago.

1t was the fashion a little time ago
TO think scornfully Of the woodwork
screens, the paper flowers or the wax
figures made by the women of the
past, but now they are eagerly sought
and added to collections of articles
illustrating home life.
History repeats itself, and to this
busy athletic age has come a wave of
the old finger-work fashion. Lately
it was picture making with feathers,
now IL is little figures made from
rags. These last were the idea of
Nine. WolkOff. nee Princess Trou-
betskoy, formerly of the Russian i'm
perial court, when at PetrOgrad,
where the little figures were sold for
the benefit of Russian soldiers. Since
Nine. WOlkoff has been in England
she has modelled little statuettes OF
well-known people, all i'm character
istic attitude and lifelike appearance.
Odd pieces of rag have been manipu-
lated TO make these charming little
figures, which vie with the paper mod
cling and the wax groups OF the past.

PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY
lowing in Soil and Dust Box
Should Be Accessible.

Chickens never wash. as many other
birds do, but cleanse themselves by
wallowing in soil Where board or
cement floors are used I'm the chicken
f0GSe. some means for busting should
be provided during the winter months,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. For
a flock Of 80 to 60 fowls a dust box
3 by = feet or 4 by 4 feet viii generally
be found large enough. and should be
placed where it can be reached by sun
light during as much OF the day as
possible.
Fine. light. dry dust is the best kind
with which 10 fill the box. but sandy
loan IS good. Road dust is recon-
mended by many. but it Is apt TO be
filthy. Coal or wood ashes may be
mixed with the soil IL desired.

CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS
Many of alternating Species May Be
Destroyed in Winter BY Clean
ing Up Obscure Corners.

Much can be done now TO reduce the
possibility of insect plaques next
summer if little effort Is directed TO.
ward the destruction of insect shelter
areas. Around the grounds and gar
dens. under hedges, beside bitches, and
in fence corners are punches of insect
sheltering weeds or grass. BY the
time cold weather approaches many
kinds of insects in the adult or imma-
ture stages have taken full advantage
of these hooks and hidden away there
for the winter. The bureau of ento-
mology, United States Department of
Agriculture. says that IL these spots
are cleaned up and the refuse cut and
burned, many of these alternating In
sects will be destroyed and the dam
age from such pests during the com
ing season will be materially lessened.
