The Elaborate Three-Piece Costume Has
Become the Darling of the Mode
BIZ SALLY MILGRIM

THERE is a certain formal ele
gance about the three-piece
costumes this season that is
strong departure from the youth
full, simple affairs of last year.
Clothes now look as if they had been
studied and thought out and not
thrown together in the hit or miss
fashion so prevalent only short
time ago.
This elegance of which | speak is
at once apparent in the very smart
costume sketched today. The
short, straight jacket with tight
band at the hips is model much
favored by both Jenny and Poiret,
Here the smooth shoulder line is
achieved by means of raglan arm
holes, leaving the sleeves only mod
erately loose. The material of the
jacket is of wool matelasse in soft
shade of beaver brown embroidered
all over with fine gold thread.
Gold braid trims the cuffs and hip
band, but the becoming high col
lar is of kolnsky.
The skirt of duvetyne is long,
narrow and draped up slightly on
one hip.
For this costume | have designed
small hat of brown velvet,
trimmed only with rakish bow.
This three-piece costume. with
its duvetyne skirt and matelasse
jacket has a blouse of soft brown
crepe embroidered in gold thread

 Venus and Mars are so bright that
 An Interesting Group
 The motions of Venus, Jupiter, Sat- urn and the moon shown in Fig and passes Saturn. Venus is a little less than three degrees south of Saturn. In the early morning of Au- fust 25 the moon passes Saturn and at p. m. (S D. m daylight -saving) 1t passes Venus, and a little before g p. m. IL passes a little above but quite close to Jupiter as seen from Washington. As seen from some other places the moon will pass over Jupiter and occult it, to use the technical term. An occulation of a planet is very interesting phe- nomenon. The moon passes Mars but far to the north of it on August 30. The positions in Figure ? are for [ p. m., Eastern Standard time. It is always an interesting occasion when the two brightest planets-Jupiter and Venus-are in conjunction. This occurs August 27, a. m. (Mars is brighter than Jupiter at rare inter- vals, as in June this year). On Au- gust 31, as shown in Figure l, Venus is just above the bright star Spica.
 The brightness of Mars Is rapidly decreasing. It's magnitude changes from minus 1.2 to minus 0.6 during the month This compares with minus 2.1 on June IS. when 1t was brightest The decrease Is due to the fact that the distance of Mars from the earth is increasing.
 TeIIingPianets From Fixed Stars
 am frequently asked how th+ planets can be distinguished from the fixed stars and from each other. The word planet means wanderer. This is the most important difference the planets change their position with respect to the surrounding stars, while the fixed stars, so far as can be easily discerned. remain in exactly the same positions with respect to each other. This test of motion is a sure one, but not very satisfactory one, for one does not know just which bodies to suspect of motion and then one must wait to detect the motion. The outer planets always move slowly and the closer ones move slowly at times Another difference can be detected with a telescope-the planets show circular discs or in some cases phases, while the stars are merely dancing points of light. As this test requires a telescope and in some cases a rather large one, it does not meet the observers needs. Another test sometimes given as a criterion Is that of twinkling A star twink les, a planet does not The violence of the twinkling of a star depends upon the position of the star and the state of the atmosphere. A planet seems to twinkle when near the hori- zon and a star near the zenith will often appear just as steady. I do not think this test is very conclusive one.
 There is no simple way in which an inexperienced observer can tel at a glance which are stars and which are planets. The following discussion may help. One need not examine the whole sky, as planets are found only in very narrow zone of the sky, of which the ecliptic which marks the apparent path of the sun, is the middle. A belt de- grees on either side of the ecliptic is called the zodiac. Marked on Fig

THE STARRY SKIES IN AUGUST
 By PROFESSOR BARTON of University of Pennsylvania

ure l. Planets are always within this belt and usually quite close to the ecliptic. To distinguish the planets, then, one needs only to know the positions of the stars in this belt or to have a map show ing their positions. Since tho planets move, their positions cannot De marked on any map except one pre- pared for a particular time of ob- servation as in Figure 1.
 Distinguishing Planets
 Tn this way one can tell the plan cts from the stars, but not from each other. There are eight planets, in eluding the earth. Uranus and Nep- tune are not visible to the naked eye and scarcely enter our discus sion. Mercury and Venus, being closer to the sun than the earth, are never seen very far from the sun. Venus is always within AS degrees of the sun and Mercury within 2s degrees. These planets are for q large part of the time too close to the sun to be seen, and if seen al all are seen within a few hours of sunset in the west or within a few hours Of sunrise in the east. Mercury

For the last few months we have had a very unusual display~ of the naked-eye planets. The five naked eye planets have been visible in the early evening, with Mars and Mer- cury exceptionally favorable for ob- servation. This favorable period Is now soon to end Jupiter and Sat urn are now low in the west in less favorable positions. Venus moves rapidly along it's path near the ecliptic. This path now lies in the position in which it makes the smallest angle with the horizon (see Figure D, so that the motion of Venus carries it rapidly southward. Even though Vensus is farther from the sun each day 1t is not in a better position for observation because it's distance from the horizon Is not In- creased by the motion. Mars is in favorable position, but its brightness is decreasing. Uranus, which is aot visible to the naked eye, Is near the eastern horizon in the early evening. The positions of the planets are marked on Figure I. The map, how ever. will help little. as Jupiter.

as bright as sixth and so on until we reach the zero magnitude. The next magnitude is then minus one.
 When brightest, as in 1924, the magnitude of Mars is minus 2.7. When far from us and In the direction of the sun it is as faint as plus ,. Jupiter in 1916 was as bright as minus 2.5. It is nearly always much brighter than Mars. At its faintest it is minus 1.2 Saturn in 1916 was as bright as minus 0.2 magnitude and when faintest is plus 1.2. Uranus at it's best is so magnitude and Nep- tune 77. Uranus is always dimes. and Neptune quite visible to tke naked eye.
 We have thus seen that tie naked eye planets are pretty bright at all times when out of the suns rays = to include Mars we will say brighter than magnitude Is. There are but five stars in the zodiac brighter than this. They are Spica at A in Virgo, Figure l, and Antares at B in Scor- pic, both of magnitude 12; Aldebaran magnitude II; Pollux, magnitude 1.2. and Regulus, magnitude Is in the cancellations Taurus. Gemini and Leo, respectively. These stars are not contained in the region of the map. Excluding Mars, the other planets are always brighter than any Of the stars in the zodiac, but Saturn is not as bright as some stars in other parts of the sky

RITTENOUR WILL HEAD FARM BODY
 ANOTHER YEAR
13,00O Members With 15,- 900 Aligned With Three Marketing Bureaus Is
 Showing Made

Montgomery, July 29.-(Special.) More than 13,0O0 Alabama farmers are allied with the Alabama Farm Bureau federation, while about 15,- GOO farmers are members of the three cooperative marketing asso- citations organized by the federation, according to the annual report of Roy c. Bishop, secretary-manager. submitted at the closing session, of the second annual meeting of the Alabama Farm Bureau federation to- day.
 Fifty-five of the 67 counties now have local farm bureaus, having been organized since the first meeting was held at Auburn during the early part of 1921.
 Rittenour Reelected
 Charles W. Rittenour of Montgom- cry was reelected president of the state federation, while Edward A.. O'Neal of Florence was .relected first vice president, and Dr. O. F. Win berg of Silver Hill second vice pres ident John R. Witt of Limestone
 
 county were elected members of the executive committee and will serve with the officers, who are ex-officio members. All officers were elected by exclamation.
 A resolution was adopted indorsing the Alabama seaport amendment and appealing to the farmers of Alabama to support it at the general elec- ton next November The resolution l 1F the port means the development of agriculture because agriculture can progress only when transportation facilities are provided, which can carry the products of the farms to the markets of the world.
 Ask Help For A. F. I.
 Another resolution appealed to the people to provide adequate facilities for the Alabama Polytechnic insti- tute and called to their attention the work which has already been done for the development of agriculture with inadequate facilities. Other res olutions expressed appreciation of the work done by the American Farm Bureau federation in behalf of the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals and sympathy for Prof. l.. N Duncan, wh 3 has a serious illness in his family
 Carl Williams of Oklahoma City, president of the American Cotton Growers exchange, told the Alabama Farm Bureau federation at its sec- ond annual meeting Saturday that the plan for the marketing of cotton had been worked out in the most scientific way possible and that suc- cess should crown the efforts of tho farmers in the association despite the fact that 19 out of 20 efforts to organize agricultural interests have failed.
 He said the organizers of the cor ton bureau movement had made many studies of the needs of the farmers and the methods used throughout the world and were convinced that the organization of pools of commodities under long time contracts would prove the most effective method.
 MT. Williams appealed to all farm CTS inter ested in the farm bureau movements to have faith in the men who have been selected to direct she work of the marketing association, declaring that each director Is bona-fide grower of cotton and has an interest in the success of .ne movement.
 Farmers from all sections of Ala bama were represented at the meet. ing, which was the second since the farm bureau federation was organ ized in Alabama a year ago.

cans and broken pieces of crock cry? What has taught the little children to enjoy the beauties of na- ture? Who is 1t that assemblies the little flock" together at the close of the days work to enjoy the evening meal? Always the woman. And to her the outlook now Is deepest de- spair. Everything Is changed. This merry prattle of the children, the happy housewife's smile, which used to greet the tired husband as he ''homeward plods his weary way" All this has turned to the subdued hush the furrowed brow-the worried look. And 1t Is the same in the home of the banker, the merchant, the law yer, the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker Every avenue is invaded.
 The times" have been strenuous enough already--the period of sack cloth and ashes which has existed financially since last falls panic, the recuperation and readjustment of the buying power of the people. All this has caused untold discomfort and worry The strike" only emphasizes the situation.
 that the governors wife did when she and her daughters accompanied the chief executive on a trip to the various places where the strike trou- bles exist. It showed that she, among many of Birminghams noble women, is deeply concerned about the conditions, and that a good woman is ever ready to lend her in- fluence whenever and wherever it is needed.
 Humanity Is not a question of geography; 1t is about the same the wide world over, whether yellow or white; time modifies 1t but little and human betterment Is a pretty theme.
 The governors attitude in the mat ter has been most just to all parties involved; he has asserted that mot only must the rights of the property holders be protected, and the rights of the men desiring to work, but the rights of the striking men as well must be respected'
 At whose door the responsibility of the strike may be laid seems not yet to have been decided. One thing is certain: antagonism invites antag- onism; fostered grievance is an an ticipated friction-sends out shafts which bound and rebound with quick ening vibrations. The strike exists and that is sufficient. What Is more directly to the point than anything else is it's elimination. The women all over the district want to see the end of the strike. They are anx- ious for the finale. so that things may be easier and conditions normal once more. Women do not like to be harrassed and worried. The Don't Worry Doctrine" appeals to a woman tremendously. Worry is most un- profitable condition-it is thief that steals precious time, and energy from life-it makes wrinkles, and bad tenn pers, and units one for duty; 1t makes one old and ugly long before one should be-and no woman wants to be that. As long as the strike ex- lsts worry will exist-and we want the strike to come to an end.
 In the meantime the thought that no evil Is so peremptory but that 1t has an outlet of hope is encouraging.

Billion Dollars in Vegetables
 It will be surprising to many to know that the vegetable crop of the United States exceeds s1.oo0. 900. 900 annually. The figures for the 1924 crop recently issued by the United States department of agriculture were $1.104, 900, ,000. Think of it, more than $1.10o,000.000. over 15 per cent of the grand total of all crops. Irish potatoes lead with s3S5, ,000. .000; sweet potatoes next with $s7,000,000; toma- toes were third with s60,000,000; can taloupes. fourth, with $17,000, ,000; watermelons and cabbage were each s15,000.00O. An effort was made to estimate the value of the farm gar dens and the figures arrived at were s405,000,000. These figures sound big, but 1t is the writer's opinion that If all private gardens could be estimated in dollars and cents, the grand total would be boosted very much higher. The sweet potato is essentially a southern crop and its steady gain in farm value from year to year means much to the south. The trucking in-
