CAMPAIGN WORK BY WOMEN.

The Sussex Journal OF Georgetown
earnestly calls upon the white women
OF SUSSEX county TO get registered
promptly and thoroughly. this year,
IN order to vote at the November cleo
ton. II points out that the income
tax fling returns for that county
show that several hundred white
women failed to become registered
for the election OF 1890. Therefore. the
Sussex Journal appeals to the white
women OF Sussex IN this manner:
1--WE trust that every Demo-
cratic member OF the WoInen's
Committee OF Sussex county will
take il upon herself 10 encourage
registration OF the women IN their
respective districts. And the
women IN general should assist
tNsir women friends IN every way
possible TO get to the registration
places.
The Democrats, unlike the Re-
puhlicanA, havs no money 10 pay

Whatever ts done by Democrats
must be done voluntarily and

TO DEVELOP SAMPLE TOWN.
No r R,aily Great Problems to Be Solved
in the Establishment Of Model

When we have studied our existing
towns, generalizing from numbers and
showing the best we have done so
far; when we have taken hold with
"a will to make such improvements as
we can In our stubborn, old-established
towns, great new social service can
be done by developing sample
town."
This sample town should appear to
he perfectly, ordinary industrial
town, preferably with some new fac
tory with its employees placed where
1t could have land or water communi-
cation with the rest of us. 1t should
have an agricultural base in the sur
rounding country, as any town does
after a fashion. Then the problem to
be worked out would be the economic
balance between local supplies, which
save in transportation. and such i'm
ported supplies as might save in Other
ways.
A good kindergarten and schOo
ought to have 20 children ot least
properly to use two first-class teach

women, since about ten women is thu
average number required to suppl!

upon; and 200 houses, grouped abou
their necessary public buildings, forr
n very pleasant little village.

All should be grouped convenient
about a pleasant little park.
The economic problem to be worke
out Is something like this: How fe'
persons out of our 400 adults are su
ficient to do work not Immediately pr

IN. FALL FASHIONS
Wide Choice of Color and Range
of Fabrics on the Card.
.ne-Piece Dress, Either In Crepe or
Georgette, Is the First Love OF
.. the Season.

The question of a new wardrobe
9 welcome one, since the fall model
offers choice of silhouettes, u wide
choice Of color and range Of fabrics
which is far wider than milady has
known for several years.
The first love of the season, asserts
fashion authority, Is the one-plece
dress either In crepe or georgette; In
either Of these fabrics the long flowing
lines prevail, draperies form uneven
hemlines and hens now come we'll to
the ankles. Draperies touch the floor
on some of the afternoon and many
Of the evening gowns. The drapes are
caught by huge bejeweled cabochons
In one-side effects. These yagaries
brought the surplice, which comes In
for great deal of attention. Some
have declared it Is an unbecoming line
to most women, but the bouffant skirt
returns it to its honored place In
things sartorial.
There's straight silhouette low waist
ed and long skirted; the 1850 type
which means bouffant skirt and tight
bodice and the flared type which par
takes Of circular effect skirts flare ou1
smartly from knee to hem. In suits

Crepes are plated In beads; small
beads, iridescent beads. all blended t.
the color of the fabric, are seen on tn
models from some Of the best design
ers, although some authorities dis
claim the rumor that beads will con
tinue In their high vogue. The old
fashioned passementerie Is now use'
to striking advantage with blacl
gowns.
Another word about the low waist
line that marks the straight silhouette
low it is and often belted with wha
appears to be "life saver" braide
or a twisted girdle as thick as one
wrist. This 'llfe saver" type OF
girdle is brought around the hip
about six or eight Inches below tn

girdles are thick braids of the fabri

Among the prettiest school suits for
fall are those having plated skirts of

All skirts are long; eight inches
from the floor for suits, four and six
inches for dresses Is the edlct which Is
at last obeyed.
A famous designer gives this for
mula to women who resent the coming
of the long skirt For many women
honestly regret the passing of the short
skirt.
"In the privacy of your own boudOir
let down one of your skirts to the
very instep, choose a soft fabric that
drapes in long intriguing folds. Move
about before full-length mirror and
note the grace Of line. Wrap cape

put on a large hat. The charm of the
femininity of this garb will conquer
any woman's prejudice against tn,
long skirt. Give plenty of time t.
the experiment, and you will go fortl
champion of the new mode.
"Short skirts will look passe t,
your newly educated vision. A lonl
skirt, the earmark Of fall mode, will
gladden., not sadden, your eye. You
too, will wear a long skirt"

Water System Saves Time.

small tank through goose neck on

water to freeze If the supply tank

laid over flat by ,pivoting at the lower

Proper Care of HEDGES,

If you have privet hedge which
Is showing the effects of age you can
renew it by cutting it back hard. This
seems like drastic treatment, but new
wood will soon begin to grow, and
within three years your hedge will be
as fine us ever. You can cut it back
to within foot of the ground without
doing any harm, but as soon as 1t be-
gins to grow again it ought to have
a good dressing of well-rotted manure
or liberal application of pulverized
sheep manure. dug into the ground.
Many people let their priyet hedges
grow too tall for best effects. They
look most attractive when about three
feet high, especially If they are kept

ELASTIC AT THE WAlSTLlNE
Wearers Of Garments to Have Liberty
Of Determining What Style They
Shall Adopt.

One Of the best-known American
style authorities recently declared,
when asked about the waist line for
fall and winter of 1929, that nearly
all frocks would have elastic run In
so that the individual woman could
determine the all important question
of where her waist line should be,
according to her own fancy and her
figure. Generally speaking, there Is a
trend toward the normal waist line,
hut women have long declined to sub
nit to ironclad style rules, and the
chances are no one style will pre-
dominate.
Incidentally. for street frocks of the
tailored type and for suits and wraps
a vogue for rather striking plaids Is
predicted. vividly striped wool fab.
rics are being featured. especially In
motor and sports coats.

DAIRY
POINTS
IMPORTANCE OF ICING MILK
Product Delivered at Night Often IN
Greater Need OF Ice Than
During Day Time.

prepared BY the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Some milk distributors who would
not think of sending out loads of milk
during the day. without icing do not
ice the milk delivered by their wagons
TO the consumers doorstep at night.
giving as their reason that night de-
livery is more rapid. The United
States Department of Agriculture IN
a recent statement. calls attention to
the fact that milk delivered to the
consumers home at night often Is In
greater need Of icing than that which
Is delivered during the day.
The important consideration, says
the department, is the time elapsing
between taking the milk from the
plant until it is placed in the con-
sumer's refrigerator. The fact that
the dealer delivers it quickly does not
mean that it will reach the refriger-
ator quickly. Bottles delivered at the
door usually are not taken in until
after the sun has been up for some
time.
During the summer months 1t Is
very important that milk on delivery
wagons be we'll iced. When milk Is
liable not to be taken in at once, 1t
should arrive at the doorstep at a
temperature of 80 degrees f. or lower
If the ordinary open-bottom cases are
used and stacked not more than two
high, it is necessary to ice only the
top row, as the cold air will pass down
to the others. Ordinances, says the
department, may we'll prohibit the de
livery of milk at temperature higher
than so degrees F.
Consumers may help by placing ,
properly insulated container on th'
doorstep, in which the milkman ma!
put the bottles of milk.

hundred hens of several of the Medi-

breeds from several farms in the coun-
ty have been assembled at one farm.
Before establishing the hens in their

guidance here as elsewhere.
Those who design and manufacture
clothes for the young have simpified
matters. They are specialists and
they turn out, as a rule, garments ex-
cellently designed and fairly well
made. Their choice of fabrics and
styles may be profitably followed by
the home dressmaker, since they have
a wide market to choose In, and a
comprehensive view of styles.
In the matter of wraps the problem
is only one of selection, as these outer
garments are bought ready made. All
coats for girls this season are much
like those Worn by their elders, except
that they are simpler and far less

Monkeys have breakfast at nine-thirty,
for they do not care to breakfast too
early In the morning. They have
their dinner at three in the afternoon,
too. The Wolves have one meal day
at quarter after one, which Is their
dinner, while the Birds are fed at half
past two In the afternoon, though of
course they get little odd meals all
the time. 1t Is true" the Lion con-
tinued, "that most of us get those, too,
and the Birds always have water to
drink, and so it Is.
"But still people do not speak OF
their little odd meals but only of their
main meals, and so l have done the
same, and these main meals are the
ones they've invited the visitors to

couldn't gather a crowd about them.
It is the animals that the people come
to see.
"Yes, it is our meal time they come
to see. All, how interesting that is to
think that the people come to see us
eat, and yet they couldn't get us to go
and see them eat even if we were free.
"And they couldn't even get each
