Two Types of Coats.

The necessary heavy utility coat Of
ones wardrobe may be either of two
distinct types-one being practically
sports wrap, possible to wear only
in the country, and the other a coat
which will be extremely smart as a
top coat, both in town and country,
on any cold day during the entire
year, except. of course, for formal oc-
casions. These coats are often made
of imported tweed. The new camel's-
hair fabrics are very lovely, but not
so serviceable, and an infinite num-
Der of new wooden textiles are of equal
attractiveness.

Eancy.Tea Apron.

A pretty apron in Copenhagen blue
taffeta is cut in a perfect circle, with
the belt cutting a section from the top
to serve as a bib, had it's edges pi-
coted and long stem of silk grapes
in luscious shades of purple appliqued
across the bottom. A small cluster OF
grapes dangled from each of the sash
ends, and the finished apron was most
appealing.

He paused, and BARLEY urged, "You

The butler glanced from BARLEY to
the woman In the chair. Miss Potter
was looking at him with curious ex-
preston on her face, one not of fear
but of wonder, as If she were curious
to know what his statement meant.
After glancing at her, he turned to
BARLEY and said apologetically, "Why,
sir, don't know If what saw was

Taffeta is always appropriate and
becoming, and this season it is being so
much worn that the debutante may
have several taffeta frocks in various
textures and designs. If she finds that
satin enhances her type of loneliness,
the debutante will wisely combine it
with lace, which brings freshness to
this material.

succeeding Daniel J. Callahan, who re-
signed about month ago because of
the pressure of outside business.
The nomination of Mr.. Lloyd was
made by Ernest Greenwood, vice pres
ident of the board, who also had been
considered for the presidency. The
board two weeks ago postponed the
election of the president because of
the absence of Mr.. Greenwood.
Tribute by Greenwood.
In his nominating speech Mr.
Greenwood said:
Immediately upon my return from
Europe 1 was advised that some MEM
bers of the board of education had in
sisted upon postponing the election of
a president to succeed Mr.. Callahan
until / returned.
II understand that these members
felt that. being vice president, /
should be given the opportunity of
expressing some opinion with regard
to the presidency. | am deeply ap-
preciative of this very unusual
courtesy and, because of it, | pro-
pose in response to express my
opinion quite frankly.
1t seems to me that there should
be no question about the action
which this board should take. We
have within our membership IA man
who has rendered long. sincere, en-
thusiastic and loyal service to the
schools of the District of Columbia.
No task has been too arduous, no de-
mand upon his time has been too
great, and it seems to me that this
board of education would be sadly
lacking in appreciation, not only of
what he has done in the past but of
what l know he is prepared to do in
the future, If we should fail at this
time to give him in return such small
honor as may be ours to give. His
position IN the community is such
we bring honor to the position of
president of the board OF education
OF the District of Columbia.

feeling of gratitude toward the mem

acc aows eest for RreedIna

An Investigation at the Iowa Expert
ment Station to discover the influence
of the age of sows upon their prolifi-
cacy and the weight and growth of the
pigs they produced gave some inter
esting results. It was found, for ex-
ample, that fifteen sows bred at eight
or nine months, averaged seven and
two-thirds pigs per litter, while IA
sows about "a months old averaged
nine and six-tenths pigs per litter,
and aged sows averaged ten and six
tenths per litter. Pigs from the young
or sows weighed on an average 2.39
poungs per pig; from the two-yaar-old
sows 1858, and from the aged sows PSI
pounds. When about six weeks old
fhe pigs from the young sows made an
average daily gain of 80 pounds, while
the pigs from the two-year-old sows
gained 40 pounds. No data is given
on the gain of the pigs from the aged
sows.
Stated in another way it was found
that the two-year-old sows narrowed
"a per cent more pigs than the young
sows, while the old sows farrowed 80
per cent more. The weight of the pigs
from the two-year-old sows was Q per
cent greater than that of the young
sows, while the pigs from the old sows
were IL per cent larger than from the
young sows. The pigs from the two
year-old sows made more rapid gain
than those from the young sows,
amounting to 26 per cent. In each in
stance the older sows farrowed more
pigs per litter, heavier pigs at birth,
and their pigs made the most rapid
growth after birth.-From Columns
