OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

Smart new blouses are of dimity.
trimmed with Bingham.
The favorite house dresses are
made of percales and plain or checked
ginghams.
Trimming on the new spring coats
and wraps is decidedly varied, braids
and embroideries being much used,
with applique work also favored.
The skirt that is seven to nine
inches from the ground is short
enough for comfort, and that seems
to be the generally approved length.
Hats with medium-sized crowns,
fashioned to fit the head snugly, and
brims of medium width are two OF
the style recommendations for spring,
and the brim that is narrower in the
back than in the front promises to be
very popular.

To Wear COttOnS
Material in New Form Is Sup
piled by Manufacturers.
Fabric Closely Resembles Gcorgette
Crepe and Crepe de Chine; Woven
Embroidered Patterns.

The cotton dress is to renew its pop
ularity, writes Paris fashion CORE
spondent. Its re-entry as really fash
ionable costume has been prepared Tor
by manufacturers OF cotton fabrics
who have brought out cotton crepes
and other sheer materials so bealti-
fully woven that they closely resemble
georgette crepe and crepe de chimes.
White cottons have woven embroidered
patterns.
Rodier, the well-known French
manufacturer of cotton and wool ma
terials, is featuring for 1922 cotton
crepes, voiles. piques. batistes and
linen embroidered either in matching
or contrasting colors. A white mate
rial may carry an embroidered pattern
in several colors. An example is one
of his most interesting fabrics, white
organdina--a fine cotton crepe which
has floral design worked out in three
different threads. The flowers are en-
broidered in colors, the stems in black
and the leaves in gold thread. The
use of black threads intermingled in
colored designs is one of Rodier's most
frequent combinations.
Swiss muslin, with its shower OF
dots, is always favorite with the
American woman, although made little
of by the Parisienne. It has lost none
of Its prestige in this country, and we
see it in myriads of wonderful shades
ranging from pale grays and mauves

INCREASE STATES
CLOVER ACREAGE
Farmers viii Use Home Grown
Feed to Avoid High
Freight Costs.

More clover will be sown in Wis
consin this spring than ever before if
good seed is available and conditions
are favorable.
Wisconsin has led all states in the
production of purebred clover seed for
the last four years. To stimulate the
sowing of more of this seed on the
average farm, the staff of the Wis
consin farmers institutes will appeal
this winter to the farmers in all sec
lions of the state to increase their
legume crop acreages.
In some sections Of the state the
clover situation has become very
serious. Where abundant clover crops
grew few years ago, it is now diff
ficult to get a good "catch." Super
fntendent K. l.. Luther estimates that
at least one bushel Of clover seed is
sown on the average for each of the
10000 Wisconsin farms.
The latest census report credits the
Badger state with clover crop of
5000 tons (5-year average). This
figure is less than one-half that of
timothy grown in the state and is less
than one-tenth of the figure reported
for timothy and clover mixed. Off
Gals at the College of Agriculture be-
iieve that there is probably consider
able more clover grown in Wisconsin
than the figures would indicate, as
frequently fields reported as mixed
contain more than two-thirds clover,
and frequently very much more.
wisconsin clover is in no worse
condition than that of all the other
clover states, but when sections in
the northern part of the state famed
FOR the production of this succulent
brass and dubbed "Cloverland'' fail to
produce even normal crops, something
Is bound to happen
Feed the Land.
That old land. properly fed, will
produce just as good crops of clover
as new land, is a statement made by
IA. r. Whitson in charge of the soils
department of the University of Wis
consin.
stock to get more manure to grow
more clover" is the way Mr.. Whitson
expresses it. Heavy manuring will
do wonders for the big stand of clover
Ia light top dressing of manure applied
in midsummer just after cutting the
gra' l will also make big difference
in the clover crop"
Besides the question of soil fer
kiIity, moisture conditions are giver
emphasis by this soil expert. BY re
dueing the stand Of small grain. the
clover is given a better chance at tho

much for the development of ag-

who made modern farming what

BAGGED BOTH FISH AND FOWL
Dover IN. H.) Man Shot Drake and
Got Pickerel That the Bird Had
Been Carrying.

George Hayer of Dover, N. H., tells
a remarkable hunting story, which is
vouched for by witnesses, says the
Manchester Union. Waiting patiently
behind blind at Ayers pond in Bar
rington, Hayer and his companions
saw a large shelldrake alight on a
rock just outside of gunshOt on the
opposite side of the pond, and after
making quite lively turn there took
to the air again and alighted in the
water 80 yards from the blind. Hayer
fired and killed the drake.
An abnormal bunch or swelling no.
ticed in the birds throat, which ap-
peared to have nearly shut off the
breathing, was not investigated until
the return to town, where 1t was found
that the drake had captured large
pickerel and had devoured the head,
after which 1t had attempted to swal-
low the rest of the fish. The body
of the pickerel stuck in the brakes
throat. 1t measured IA inches In
length. The drake weighed, without
the fish, four and one-half pounds.
Hayer and his friends were served
drake with pickerel on the side at the
spread that followed the hunting ex-
petition.

No Genius Without Pesslmism.

Schopenhauer, in his doctrine of the
futility of life, emphasizes the fact that
genius suffers more deeply and feels
more intensely just because of its alb
normally developed will and intellect,
and that, therefore, genius without pes
simism, is unthinkable either in the
field of poetry or philosophy.
The placing of Shakespeare and
Buddha in juxtaposition is quite in
line with the trend of modern
thought. Buddhism, like the Tagore
cult, is at present in the forefront of
interest, and it is safe to say that
during the entire century preceding
the war there was less written and
said on the subject of Buddhism than
in the past year. The most widely
divergent intellectual currents are
being traced back to the BuddhiStic
source, and every new system Of
philosophy and all modern historical
researches are built up on BU3dhistic

"AER0PLANE" NO NEW WORD
Was First Used by French Inventor
to Describe Flying Machine,
in the Year 1879.

The word, "aeroplane," only recently
admitted to the dictionary, has been
traced back to the year 1879. In that
year a Frenchman named Tatin, ap-
piled the name "aeroplane" to flying
machine of his own invention driven
by compressed air.
Possibly it was from latin that was
borrowed the corresponding English
word (similar save for the accent) by
Ella Merchant and Alice Jones, joint
authors of "Unveiling a Parallel"
(1S92). The hero of this novel is a
birdman who scars in his "aeroplane"
to Mars, where, among other wonder
full things, he finds woman on terms
of perfect equality with man,
Fifteen years later H. G. Wells USED
the word, "aeropile" in one of his
novels, but the term didn't become
popular. And nowadays the word Is
being condensed into the two-syllabled
word, "airplane THE Leatherneck.

ADVANCING YEARS.

When first you find within your mind
For quiet Joys preference;
Or when, again, some younger men
First treat your views with Difference;
When you'll confess to more or less
Political perplexity-
When first you cape adown your shape
AT manifest conveMty;
When first you choose some easy shoes
That strike your wife as hideous;
But with the care you give your hair
You're more, not less fastidious;
When first you feel your blood CONCEAL
To hear an unlocked laddie call
"Old-fashioned CUFF" the daring stuff
That you considered radical
But most of all, when first you call
VIII undermine society,"
When first you say some modern way
A new idea "impiety;"
You are not old-your heart is bold
You've courage, strength, ability
Yet you have passed the peak at last
You're headed for senility!
