But sport suits are another story.
There is premonition of spring in
the late winter suits shown in the
llustration-in their outlines and GER
tain details of their making--as In the
treatment of the waistline, choice of
material and general Jauntiness of
style. They might take place among
conservative spring models by the
simple expedient of taking off their fur
fnishings and replacing them with
cloth. If one must have suit or two
for the period between seasons, either
of these will prove safe choice. The
suit at the left is of Poiret twill with fox
fur in collar and cuffs and band of trim
ming on the coat. The straight-line
loose coat holds an assured place in
spring styles, so this suit is good In
vestment. The skirt is provided with
a deep hem and may be heightened to

MARK TWAIN WON THIS

Mark Twain's humor is largely
based upon incongruity and con-
trast. "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court, of which
the special William Fox film YER

tire on Monday and Tuesday, is
crammed with examples. 1t is
said to be the funniest thing
Twain ever wrote, yet it con-
tains a carefully reasoned argu-
ment.
Mark never was at lost for an
answer. One day he was telling
"A group of friends about won
dcrful lake he had seen in Colo
RADIO.
"The water is so clear" he said,
that you could see ten-cent
piece on the bottom at a depth of
one hundred tathoms."
A stony silence followed. Mark
glanced around.
"Well," he said, 81 assure you
that if you threw a ten-dollar bill

Birds" Some illustrations OF what
the birds have done are cited by the
department, as follows:
On one Utah farm infested by the
alfalfa weevil. English sparrows alone
In one season fed TO their young, II

making them about one-thIrd OF the
diet ct the growing birds. Slxty-six
kinds OF birds feed on the cotton ball
weevil, the grentest feathered enemy
ot this pest being the orchard orlolc.
single stomach OF this kind Of bird
contained, upon examination, Al boil
weevils. The green bug or wheat aphis
also---but let the department tell the
story:
"On a 200-acre firm In North Caro-
lima. where wheat. rye and oats were
severely attacked by green bugs, Il
was found that the birds were very ef-
fective In destroying the pests. The
outbreak was mt Its height during the
migration season of such birds ms the
goldfnch and the vesper and chipping
sparrows. which. with other species ON
the farm, numbered more than 5000
individuals. II was found that these
birds were destroying green bugs at
the rate Of nearly 100000 a day, and
on days when additional nocks of MI
grants were present this destruction
was doubled. During the season such
numbers OF birds fiocked to the grain
fields that the apbis infestation was
reduced by an incalculable number"
Hardly an agricultural pest exists
the department states, but has numer.
GUS effective bird enemies. For In.
stance, 20 kinds OF birds are known "a

were these voracious pests that many
places Visited by them were denuded
