casing the elastic, and the circle
finally joined by ribbon rosette.
The addition of lace to the lower
edge of the shirred ribbon cover
ing makes the garter very dainty
and takes as its trimming a rosette
of shirred lace with few ribbon
buds at its centre.
Powder puffs, in novelty cases,
are appreciated by every woman.
They make dainty cases in which
one may carry the fiat wool puff in
her purse. Cut two cardboard cir
cles, large enough to accommodate
the powder puff, and cover each
circle with a fancy silk. Taffeta
with a tiny figure is pretty, but
velvet, georgette or any odd bit of
fabric found in the scrapbag might
be used. The silk is stitched cross
wise to hold it taut over the
circle and the stitches are covered
by the lining, which is pasted on
neatly. Sew the two circles to-
gether half way around, and then
sew a snap fastener at the top to
confine the puff after it is slipped
between the two circles of silk.
Shoe trees are being enamelled
black and stencilled in a dainty
design across the front in place of
the ribbon-covered shoe trees we
knew in other years. Bright blue,
rose, tangerine and green are used
to color these dainty shoe access
SORES. And one may be assured
that the gift will be appreciated by
the girl who likes to take good care
of her footwear.

Married-But Happy
By Virginia Lynch MarweU.

/ THARLOTTE stood before the
mirror and administered
~ the last dab of creamy
powder to her nose. There was
a CLEAN of excitement in her eye.
To-Day she was to meet Billy at
/ the big dressmaking establishment.
/ He had promised to help her select
a new gown.
With her USUAL sense of econ
iomy Charlotte protested against
Imdulging in another new dress.
But Billy argued that his wife
would have to look right at the
Caldwalders.
The shrill ring of the telephone
Interrupted as she deftly pinned
down her small round turban.
'BiIIy's voice was calling "Hello-
hello-hello" with his characters

oh, Billy, that's disappoint-
ing she pouted through the
mouthpiece. "But if you're going
to he tied up in conference there's
no SEioC Ill my waiting.
Stick around up there for
awhile, and I'll run up if the meet

Now, Lottie," he continued,

decent. 1t really means lot to
ne-you know. None of the
pennywise stuff, this time. Get
something good while you're at it.
Can't stop to talk-maybe I'll see
you later"
Charlotte put up the receiver, a
tender smile lighting her features.
Nothing like the great American
husband" she unused, generous
10 a fault!' After all, Billy was
a dear, and where was the man
who didn't have his little irritat-
ing ways, at times?
With a gay heart and a light
step, Charlotte made her way up
the brown stone steps of Madam
Lucie's big establishment. She
was ushered into the sumptuous
show room by a uniformed man
who delivered her into the hands

FUR and fabric may lack in
- variety from season to sea-
son, but the line of the wrap
will change. It is the novelty
which the silhouette offers that
makes clothes interesting.
This Winter the bloused coat
seems to be taking the lead in the
silhouette of the new apparel. Last
season it dropped its back into a
long, straight line, and belted it
slightly at the hip line. This year
the waistline has crept downward
until its correct place is just be-
low the hips.
The one-piece wraps which many
women prefer because they are so
much more practical than the two
piece garments have a novel wav
of combining fur with material to
give the effect of the latter model.
One would think that the skirt End
fur blouse were separate garments.
while in reality they are Joined at
the low waistline by wide belt of
the fur OR width of folded tucks
fashioned of the material.
One finds touches of the fur that
fashions the bodice placed at in
teresting angles, on the skirt, Civ
ing the appearance of unity to the
garment.
Now, that caracul is being dyed
in so many shades, it is not unusual
to find it cleverly combined with
a wool fabric whose color has been
matched to the fur. An unusually
attractive coat was recently seen
at smart tea shop combining the
fabric with the dyed caracul. The
color was robins egg blue. The
coat itself was cut from the wool
material, with long Tuxedo collar
of the dyed caracuI. Cuffs added

Dainty Gifts for Christmas

MYTH the first days of De-
w cember comes the thought
w of Christmas. Gifts that
are planned in advance are made
With ease, and the hurry and strain
If last-minute shopping avoided.
For the girl who would make
hose bits of finery everyone loves

any number of simple gifts that
work up well.
Have you seen those dainty trav-
ling aprons that the travelling wo-
nan viii appreciate? They are
tut from cretonne in the pattern
which fashions the ordinary tea
apron. But they receive their
name from the wide pockets which

Not
Piedmont Section Mills Not
Seriously Menaced.

Charlotte, N. c., ug.30.-While
the possibility of an enforced shut
down of many textile mills in the
Carolinas within the next two or
three weeks loom larger daily, most
of the mills in the Piedmont section
of the two states operate exclusively
on hydro electric power and there
fore are not menaced by the scarcity
of fuel, according to men familiar
with the situation.
Many of the mills operated by
hydro-electric power use som coal,
but comparatively little, it is pointed
out. Of this class is the Chadwick
Hoskins company's large chain OF
mills. E. C. Dwelle, secretary of this
company, said tonight that their
plants have enough coal on hand to
last only two or three weeks Accord
ing to Winston E. D. Adams, secre-
tary of the american Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association, this condition
is typical of that of the electrically
driven mills of this section generally.
Curtailment.
It was said by the officials that
virtually no coal is being received
by any mills in this section, and I'M
less the situation is relieved some-
what in the next week or two cur
tailment of operation on the part OF
many mills will be necessary. Only
one mill, the Lancaster cotton mills,
of Lancaster, S. c., thus far has been
reported closed on account of the
coal shortage. This company employs
around 1900 workers. 1t closed last
Saturday.
1t was pointed out that of the L.
900 or more textile plants of all
kinds in the two Carolinas, 343,
mostly in the Piedmont sections, use
h~ydro-electric power exclusively,
while 295 use steam power only, and
262 use both electric and steam pow
er, according to the latest available
statistics.
No general shutdown of electrical
ly driven plants is expected, accord
ing to local textile workers.

GIVE CHICKENS FREE RANGE
Growing Fowls Are Enabled to Obtain
Quantities Of Bugs, Worms,
Green Feed, Etc.

When the garden crops have reached
maturity or are far enough developed
to suffer little damage from chickens
the flock should be given free range.
There are times in late summer and
early fall when the benefit received
by the poultry will exceed the slight
injury some garden products may in
cur.
Free range enables growing chick
ems to obtain quantities of green feed,
bugs, worms and other things. The
chickens therefore require less grain
and are less liable to sickness or dis
ease. Exercise and ability to range
for even a few hours a day is bene-
fetal to a flock that has been kept
in confinement during spring and early
summer.

CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Dust Bath Will Aid Materially, but
Should Not Be Depended
Upon Entirely.

While It Is we'll to provide a good
dust bath for chickens, it cannot be
depended upon for louise and mite
control, say specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
Is far better to eradicate the pests
completely. The main difficulty about
depending upon dust baths Is that
some fowls seldom dust themselves
and those which dust freely never
completely free themselves of Ice. Ine
dnst hath should be kept under cover
and NAV consist Of fine road dust with
coal ashes added.

THIN ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Ordinary Rock Surface Under Motor
Traffic Coming in Next
Few Years.

MacAdam was years ahead of his
age and years behind this one. The
builders of the Appian Way knew
more about building a road for a mo-
tortruck than MacAdam, strange as 1t
may appear. 1t is the general opinion
among road builders-an opinion
greatly quickened and altered by the
war-that the light stone road, be 1t
surfaced or oil treated in what way
you will, is not the road to build in
the face Of an avalanche of motor
trucks that Is coming in the next few
years. The motorcar brought oil to
the road as a necessity. The water
bond, which worked so well with iron
tires and iron shod hoofs, is useless
against the suction Of the pneumatic
tire. But the oiled stone road that
holds the 3,0O0-pound a with ease
will not carry the 1ye-ton truck-and
last.
The railroad builders have found
that for heavy traffic it pays to use
the heaviest steel rails, the finest wood
for ties and the best broken stone,
and plenty of it, for ballast.

the following ingredients: Phenols, tar
oils, h%ydrocarbon oils, creosote OIL,
carbon disulphid, wood-tar distillate,
benzol, n~itrobenzene, naphthalene, an.
tkracene oil, and pyridine.
In these experiments the roosts and
dropping boards or the whole interior
Of the house were thoroughly painted
or sprayed just before the fowls went
to roost, and all doors, windows, and
yentilators were closed during the first
night. Five badly infested fowls were
used in each test, and at the end Of
one week examination was made for
living lice. Although an occasional
dead lnlse was found on the dropping
boards, in no case was the treatment
Of any practical value. Since many
Of these preparations were found to
be effective when used as %fumigants
in small boxes, it is apparent that the
in~effectiveness of house treatment is
due to the fact that the fumes do not
become concentrated enough to kill the
lice. Tests were also made with lime
sulphur applied in the same way; this
also was found to be Of no value.

BETTER ROADS HELP BABIES
Farm Is Made More Accessible to
Doctor and Nurse-Danser in
Travel Is Reduced.

It may seem a long way from good
roads to better babies, and yet the
two are closely connected.
America has a great rural popula-
ton, throughout which babies are be-
ing born every day.
These babies and their mothers
need care, the visit Of the nurse. the
services of the physician, often Of the
surgeon. and how are they to have 1T
if between lie miles of road impossible
alike to automobile or buggy?
OF what use is the little hospital at
the county seat If the woman whose
life depends upon its care cannot be
taken there swiftly and comfortably?
What difference does 1t make that
the town physician may be a very wiz
ard at treating diphtheria, If long be-
fore he can arrive at the farm the lit
tie throat has been closed by the
deadly film, or the little heart stopped
by the depressant poison?
Medical and surgical honors are
generally claimed for the city-when
as a matter of fact the country doctor
is often possessed Of a skill as COM
plete as his heart is big.
Make the farm accessible to the doc
tor and nurse, make the hospital and
the health center accessible to the
farm. Nature and skill will do the
rest.-Concord Monitor.

There have been many advocates OF
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the roosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior of
the poultry house with. various oil mix
lures, the idea being that the vapors
or gases arising from these points
penetrate the feathers of the roosting
fowls and kill the lice. This method

Set Some Pecan Trees This
Fall

Wherever cotton grows, some pa
pershell pecans should be planted.
A good place to plant them is near
the edge of the yard or b%arnyard. Pc
cans thrive in places of this kind,
and where one is planting only a few
trees for home use, no better place,
as a rule can be selected than about
the edge of the yard or barnyard
where moist conditions are likely to
exist.
There are many good varieties of
pecans, the leaders of which are
probably Schley, Stuart, Delmas.
Success, and Moneymaker.
Secure the catalogues of nursery
men and seedsmen. Study them care
fully because they contain a great
deal of worthwhile information, as
well as prices on the products offer
ed for sale.
Don't cultivate the orchard too
late. Keep in mind that late cultiva-
ton means that the wood will be
kept growing late, and this may re-
salt in injuring the wood by cold du-
ring the winter. All cultivation
saould have ceased before this, but
if it hasn't already stopped, stop it
right away. ,
Orchards, as a rule, should have
some cover crop on the ground du-
ring the winter. This is especially
true of young orchards where the
ground is not already comparative
ly rich. Usually some leguminous
crop like bur clover, crimson clover,
or vetch is desirable, but if for any
reason one is not in position to plant
a leguminous cover crop, then use
wheat, rye or oats, but n should
b e very careful not to allow these
grains to mature, or to grow to any
height the following season. Chop
them and turn Them under. Otner-
wise too much of the moisture will
be taken from the ground and iE-
jure the trees.
A whole lot has been said about
=
fruit tree agents, both good and bad
but mostly bad. This is not fair for
literally thousands of fruit trees all
over the south that would have
been there, had it not been for the
fruit tree agent. There are, however,
some fruit tree agents who are moth
ing more nor less than "fim-ham
artists" and one should be on the
lookout for these. 1t is a pleasure for
us to say, however, that we are fully
convinced that the majority of the
so-called fruit tree agents r relia-
BILE men. Just be sur of the man you
are dealing with and then go ahead.
