Seven New Plant Wonders From Burbank

Seven wonders Of the plant world
are Luther Burbank's 1922 contribu-
tons to horticultural science. Top
ping the list as an agricultural innova-
ton of Importance is the "Opaline,"
an oat that hulls out like wheat when
threshed and, instead of weighing As
pounds to the bushel, weighs 60. This
result, Burbank explains has been ac-
complished through the practical elm
nation of husk with incidental benefit
to the, grain itself. His six other
wonders" he lists as follows:
Peruvian winter grass, which can
withstand frosts and produce an
enormous amount Of feed during the
cold winter months, thus insuring
green feed for cattle.
A mammoth Towering artlchoke,
with flowers as lovely as roses and
several times as large.
A "prickly poppy" known as the
Mariposa, which grows spines as does
cactus.

rowing to any great extent over the
troubles Of Horatio Bottomley, indie
pendent member of parliament and
former editor of a rabid anti-Anleri-
can weekly called John Bull. The
way he used to abuse Uncle Sam and
all things American was really quite
nasty, y know.
Extraordinary allegations were
made by Reuben Bigland against Bot

to pay him $500 which he owed him,
Bottomley arranged that the third
prize amounting to f1,O00, In "war
stock combination" run by John Bull
should be awarded to nominee OF
Bigland's.
This testimony was given by Big
land as his defense against the charge
Of blackmailing Botiomley which was
brought against him at the Shrop-
shire AssiZes. Biglands was acquit-

WANT 0NE-pIECE JERSEYS.
Models Introduced by Fiappers Generally
Worn BY W0men--Sweaters Indoors.


The one-piece wool jersey suit which
was originally copied from mems wear
and worn by the so-called fapper, and
which was thought by many to be inn
modest and extreme, IS now considered
perfectly good taste. The demand. in
fact. for this type of suit is increasing
rapidly, and women who would have
hesitated a year ago are now asking for
these One-piece models. Even stout Gus
toners insist upon this style, and one
manufacturer is putting out a suit that
is particularly adaptable to full figures.
However. there are many women who
will never be reconeiled 10 wearing suits
of this type, and in order TO cater 10
this clientele some attractive novelties
which one might call a compromise, are
on the market The underneath part or
combination is of wool jersey. while the
top part is of silk which, of course, does
not cling 10 the figure as does the jersey :;
yet the effect is quite similar. for the
skirt is very short. allowing the trunks
to show. Some of the little skirts even
have extra fullnpsS at the sides, giving
the impression of drapcry.
The material used frequently is foulard
woven in gay cOlOrS and designs; in fact,
the gaycr the better seems to be the gen
cral opinion.
One of the novelties seen in the market
is after the style of the One-pieces suit,
the skirt part of which buttons on the
combination, and this may be unbuttoncd
and removed if desired-when diving or
swimming in pool. fer example.
The sweater as an article for indoor
wear seems 10 be advancing to 4 favored
position.
In the Midwest there is an immediate
demand for the slip-ovcr sweater in all
wool and in novelty colors. Stripes,
blocks and some two-color effects are in
