Dressmaker's Bugbear,
Sleeves, Explained
BY MARJORIE KINNEY
Supervisor Of Clothing. school of
Household Science and Art.
Pratt Institute

Sleeves always have been bug
bear to the average dressmaker as
every woman's arms seem to hang
in a different way. Only experience
in fitting can teach one Just how 70
handle a sleeve but a few simple
directions apply to all sleeves.
Most important is the grain Of
the material. The sleeve must be
must be cut on the true grain. that
Is. the thread OF the cloth on line
Alb, as IN figure one.
This gives a straight grain on line
CD which is absolutely necessary
20 keep your sleeve from twisting.
The only exception Is bias sleeve
which is cut with line ABB on the
true bias
The material above line ABB Is
called the cap OF the sleeve. When
YOU have short shoulder IN your
dress the cap OF the sleeve must be
high from CD.
Shoulder Seams Short
shoulder seams are short this
spring and often YOU fnd sleeve
wrinkling UP and down because the
cap is not high enough. This may
be remedled by drawing the curve
higher from A to G TO r or cutting
out the sleeve under the arm.
Both accomplish the same end.
Always allow two inches around the
top OF the sleeve for fitting so you
can drop Il. If necessary. from the
shoulder.
A sleeve must be eased into an
arm-hOle and must be cut at least
one inch larger around the top than
the correct arm-hole line
il IS best TO At a waist with a
sleeve basted IN. but II your sleeve
does not set right rip II out and cor
rect your srm-hole. marking a new
line with pins, then set IN the sleeve.
placing g. so that the straight grain
of the material falls over the top OF
the arm.
General Rule.
A general rule for setting IN a
sleeve like the one shown above Is
TO fold your arm-hole from one inch
back OF the shoulder seam and set
the sleeve seam exactly opposite this
fold
sleeve toward you 80 you can ease
ia the fullness Often you can ease
in more than an inch and apparently
have no gathers
II the sleeve swings toward the
front. move the seam toward the
back Of the arm-hoie.
II the sleeve swings toward the
back. move the seam toward the
front Of the arm-hole.
Always bend your arm. when At
ting a sleeve so that enough allow
shoulder 20 elbow. The back or thu
sleeve must be longer than the front
Sleeves should be fitted until they
are comfortable in all positions
Open Arm-Holes.
Nowadays many OF the handsou-
est gowns are made with an open
arm hole and the sleeve fitted into
the lining The lining must be COW
cred all around the arm-hole with
material Ike the outside or the
gown. far enough back that no
gleam OF white Is seen
The sleeve IS stitched into this
arm-hoIe. The arm-hole OF the dress
IS finished with a covered cord. a fac
ing. or a binding. This Is a helpful
way 70 manage a leeve for q large
figure; you viii have no ungainly
wrinkles IN your back.

sleeves they must accord with the
design OF the dress They are often
made OF contrasting material. but

LEGUMINOUS HAYS FOR COWS
Corn SiIage Is Excellent Feed, but
Not a Balanced One--Legumes
Furnish Protein.
prepared by the United States Department
Of A0ri

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The best kinds of dry roughage for
feeding dairy cows in connection with
corn silage or roots are leguminous
hays, such as alfalfa, red, crimson, or
alsike clover, and soy bean or cow
pea hay, in the opinion of experts Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. While corn silage is an ex-
as it does not contain sufficient pro-
TEN and mineral matter to meet fully
the requirements of the cow. The
leguminous hays, in addition to be-
ing very palatable, tend to correct
this deficiency. They are also among
the best and cheapest sources of
protein.
One or more of these hays can be
grown on practically any farm. In
addition to their value for feeding
purposes, they improve the soil in
which they grow. Hay from Canada
field peas, sown with oats to prevent
the peas from lodging, also makes
an excellent roughage.
Corn slower, sorghum, etc., also
find good market through the dairy
cow. This class of roughage is low
in protein, however, and when it is
used the grain ration must be richer
in this element.
No positive rule can be laid down
as to the quantity Of dry roughage
that should be fed, but from to II
pounds day for each cow, in addition
to silage, will be found satisfactory
In most cases.
When the dry roughage is of poor
quality, such as coarse, woody hay or
poor grade of cornstalks, large pOr-
ton can often be given to advantage,
allowing the COW to pick out the best
and using the rejected part for bed
ding. With this quantity of dry rough
age the COW will take, according to

IT Is SPORTING PROPOSITION
French Writer Explains Why Divorces
Are More Common In America
Than Elsewhere.

The sporting spirit expresses itself
in every phase of Americas national
life. Marriage IN the United States Is
a very different thing from what 1t Is
in France. 1t is race for happiness
If you wish; but each one races for
himself alone.
Sex competition supplants sex CO
operation. Each party preserves his
or her individual interest and freedom
Of opinion. There is little or no real
intimacy, though much luxury-sup-
piled, it is always understood, by the
husband, writes Georges Lechartier,
in La Revue de Paris. But no matter
how liberal the latter may be, his
wife usually thinks, and often says,
that he might be more so.
Tanning a husband has the same
sporting interest for an American girl
as tanning a horse, hunting il the
Rockies, or trout fishing in Canada.
However, when once the conquest Is
made and the fish hooked, there is
less interest.
This explains why divorces are
more common In the United States
than anywhere else In the world.

proved by the purchase of new anil

There is no law or regulation In
Massachusetts preventing the sale or

A few cattle dealers led the oppOsi-

court providing for the control and
sale of animals reacting to the tuber-
culin test. Owing to the Importance
of graduating tuberculosis from live
stock, the Department Of Agriculture
is furnishing to the public full in

the disease and the way to get rid

everything has to be purchased, it

The Outline of History-By H. c. Wells

Because it developed in the compare
lively warm and tranquil waters of the
eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the
Persian Gulf, and the western horn of the
Indian Ocean, the shipping of the ancient
world retained throughout certain charac-
teristics that makes it differ very widely
from the ocean-going sailing shipping with
its vast spread of canvas, of the last four
hundred years. "The Mediterranean" says
Mr.. Cecil TORI In his Ancient Ships" "is
sea where vessel with sails may lie be-
ca lined for days together, while a vessel
with oars could easily be traversng the
smooth waters with coasts and islands
everywhere at hand to give shelter in case
of storm. In that sea, therefore, oars be-
come the characteristic instruments of navi-
cation, and the arrangement of oars the
chief problem in Shipbuilding. And SO long
as the Mediterranean nations dominated
western Europe, vessels of the southern
type were built upon the northern coasts,
though there generally was wind enough
here for sails and too much wave for
oars"
Earliest Rowing ON the Nile
The art Of rowing first be discerned
upon the Nile. Boats with oars are repre-
sented in the earliest pictorial monuments
of Egypt, dating from about $500 B. c.;
and although some crews are padding with
their faces toward the bow, others are
rowing with their faces toward the stern
'"The padding is certainly the older
practice, for the hieroglyphchen depicts two
arms grasping oar in the attitude of
padding, and the hieroglyphs were Invented
in the earliest ages. And that practice
may really have ceased before $500 B. c.,
despite the testimony of monuments OF that
date; for in monuments dating from about
1850 B. c., crews are represented unmls-
takably rowing with their faces toward the
stern and yet grasping their oars in the
attitude Of padding, so that even then
Egyptian artists mechanically followed the
turn Of the hieroglyph to which their hands
were accustomed. In these reliefs there are
twenty rowers on the boats on the Nile,
and thirty on the ships on the Red Sea;

The First Great seaports
The Aryan peoples came late to the sea.
The earliest ships on the sea were either
Sumerian or Hamitic; the Semitic peoples
followed close upon these pioneers Along
the eastern end of the Mediterrane can, the
Phoenicians, Semitic people, set UP a
string of Independent harbor towns, OF
which Acre, Tyre and Sidon were the
| chief; and later they pushed their voyages
| westward and founded Carthage and Utica
in north Africa. Possibly Phoenician keels
were already in the Mediterranean by 1000
B. G..
Both Tyre and Sidon were originally on
islands, and so easily defensible against a
land raid. But before we go on TO the
marine exploits of this great sea-going race
we must note very remarkable and curious
| nest of early sea people whose remains ha't
| been discovered in Crete.
