ENvlED HIS SMALL DAUGHTER
for the Power She Exercised
Over Ducks.

Betty. four years old. lives in y
modern apartment in Brooklyn. facing
Prospect park She knows all the
squirrels in the park and the birds
that stay there in the summer.
For several weeks Betty mas been
lonesome because all her feathered
friends went in search of warmer
weather. but now she mas plenty of
company again. Wild ducks are her
newest friends.
The ducks coming alight in Prospect
park lake and generally remain a week
Or two TO rest and feed. They are
wary of men. but not afraid Of chill
dren, if Betty is an example.
The other day she was walking
with her father, a duck hunter. Betty
noticed she couldn't get near the ducks
while she was with her father. but
when she left him and ran along the
shore alone she found she could ap-
rroach them. After a little cOaxing.
fhe ducks swan up and ate pieces of
popcorn from her hand.

important points that determine the

Stout Women Will Never Give UP
Tunic-Solution of Separate Skirt
and Waist Problem.

The stout woman will never give
up the tunic of Overskirt blouse. 1t is
the solution of the separate skirt and
waist problem for her. Few of the
new blouses cannot be worn by her.
but better lines result if she chooses
the blouse that is slightly longer than
the hip-length MILDLY styles, as this,
if ii contrasts with the skirt, is apt
to emphasize hip breadth when it is
not wanted.
For evening the large woman is al
most unlimited in her choice of gowns.
The new dyed laces can be used for
her providing she does not get them
too f1uffy-ruffiy in character. Low
draped effects, apron tunics and com
binations with straight lines of satin
will harmonic them with her figure.
Thus she may choose a navy satin
with an apron front and back of
black net embroidered in crystal. The
modest deeollete is U-shaped, and
while the satin remains smooth and
untrimmed AT the neck and shoulders,
a full OverblOuSe OF the net falls to
a low waistlne in front, giving to the
satin bolero appearance. Short
sleeves are OF the net, also the close
Iy-folded girdle. which ties in a fluffy
bow at the side.

or velvet bean. The velvet bean is es-
pecially adapted TO the well-drained
portions of the Atlantic and gulf
coastal plain areas, while the cowpea
can be grown successfully not only
there. but throughout the cotton belt
and the lower half of the corn belt.
The velvet bean and cOwpea are quite
sensitive TO cold, whereas the soy bean
withstands considerable frost in
spring and fall Cowpeas and velvet
beans both succeed on poor soils bet
ter than the soy bean. For soil i'm
provement the velvet bean is, In gen.
eral, superior TO either the cowpea
or the soy bean, although the cowpea
succeeds under greater diversity of
conditions.
The soy bean is 70 be preferred for
forage purposes on account of its up
right growth. The cowpea and velvet
bean are why plants and therefore
more difficult to harvest and cure.
AS a grazing crop for cattle and
hogs in fall and winter the velvet bean
cannot be eXcelled. However, the cow
pea and soy bean can be grown over
a more extended area, and some of
their numerous varieties furnish
earlier pasture.
For the production of seed. the soy
bean has many advantages over the
cowpea and velvet bean. The soy
bean natures all its seed at one time
and can easily be handled by machin-
cry. Hand picking is most commonly
practiced in gathering cowpea seed
although machinery can be used to
velvet beans by hand because of the
abundant. tangled mass of vines.
The seeds of velvet beans. cowpeas
and soy beans are all excellent feed
for cattle and hogs. Cowpea seed,
however. is rarely cheap enough for
feed. but il is extensively used. espe-
cially in the Southern states. for hu-
man food. Soy-bean seed. in addition
20 its value for feed. is valuable for
the production of oil and meal. and its
use for human food is increasing.
The cowpea will undoubtedly con-

SHOULD PASS MONDAY

amendment for the appropriation Of
thirty millions Of dollars, the pay
ment of which will be extended over

ciples for which our forefathers
fought century ago. A great COM

and which had been promised to them
was taken by another. in many cases
by those who were luke-warm in

all the hardships and dangers Incl
dental to all great wars, at one dol
lar a day and less. that the fellows
that took their places here were get
ting from fie tos ten times that a
mount with all the home comforts.
The only objection we have to the
proposed amendment is that it Should
be national movement instead of
a state movement. We have only to
recall the slow legislation OF con-
gress after the Civil War before re-
lief was given to the soldier boys of
that war. This appropriation would
be a gift Of Michigan to her own
boys, and If granted, would in meas
ure reimburse them for the financial
sacrifices they made while in the
service and would be relief till ad-
