NEW JACUETTES ARE GGAILY EMBROIDERED
By JANET WINSLOW

Whether it is coat or a jacket or blouse, no one seems to know these days, but certain 1t is that you are of the road Wherever small society gathers there is seen something which fits in with this general de- scription.
 The smartest of the new spring coats that are made in this bloused and loose fashion are embroidered over their entire surfaces. One of them can be seen on this page, and 1t is posed and arranged so that the girl who wears it looks pleased enough to represent the mass of American girls who will be wearing them later on. She has hat which Is surrounded by the folds of one of those printed scarfs which have so captured the taste and preference of the American girl of today. And, altogether, there is that air of we'll being about her which Is so charac- teristic of the modern young Ameri- can girl when she knows for cer- tainty that she is a well dressed member of society.
 These days you can dress well on really a very small amount of money so long as you realize what actual good style is. But the minute you stoop to neglect your education in this respect, then you will find that your dressing begins to run you into all sorts of expenditures which you had not expected to face and which, really, to the expeyt seem futile and worthless. You can do the same thing on a much smaller budget if you make sure to think the thing out before you decide to make your pur- chases for the new season.
 A bloused coat that ties al the sides and shows a sash or a thin girdle dropping down the side of the skirt, will be a very good thing to own as the new season comes on and ad- vances. It is one of the styles that the American girl has decided to ac- cept and to give her stamp of ap proval.
 Out of the knitted materials they are making all sorts of interesting little coats, with sleeves and without them. They are fine for all sorts of sports wear, and, although the Amer ican girl loves the sweater, it does look as though these coats of knitted and other fabrics are going to run swift race by way of supplying the interest of a keen competition.
 The girl in the picture, who is wearing the knitted coat, has chosen to have hers without any sleeves whatsoever and to make her coat of that new knitted fabric which incor- porates into its weave an all-over embroidered pattern which is most attractive when it is worn in com bination With the soft silk skirts and | one-piece frocks which will be popu- lar for sports wear this coming sea- son. Of course, a coat of this gen eral character Is so colorful in itself
 that the rest of the costume must necessarily Re kept quite plain and neutral in dbloring, for it is only by
 that simple method that the embroid- cred weavetNof the coat itself is al- lowed to show in the full glory of 1 it's beauty

 WOMEN IN INDUSTRY WEEK
 Miss Mollie Dowd, chairman of the Women in Industry committee of the state league. appointed the week of January 22 to January 29 as "Wom- en In Industry Week." and earnestly requested all league units over the state to observe the week in their meetings In some fitting way. The pending fights on legislation for the protection OL WOlHeh III make this a peculiarly fitting time for the observance of such week. It will need the united efforts of all interested women to rouse the general public, and through them, the law makers, to the absolute ne- cessity for social legislation for wom- en who work.
 It Is interesting to know that at nf council of women's organizations at which It's legislative program was adopted, all the women's organiza- tions represented there were unanf- nous in calling for and indorsng this proposed women in industry leg islation. Their aim Is to prevent in Alabama conditions that have ob- tained in larger industrial states. The restrictions proposed in the bill do not apply to home or agricultural industry, but only to workshops and factories.
 Miss Dowd has appointed the fol- lowing women on a statewide women in industry committee: Mrs. Charles Fiske, Fairfield; Mrs. Herman Gimp son and Mrs. T. O. Smith of Wilson vile; Mrs Julian B. Parke of Selma Mrs. Zue Musgrove Long of Jasper, Miss Ita Stocks of Gadsden, Mrs. J. McGowan of Mobile. Mrs. Elizabeth Barter, Mrs. o. l.. Amigh, Mrs. Charles

INpoRsEs coUNCIL-MANAGER

By unanimous vote the Jefferson County League of Women Voters, at its meeting Tuesday, indorsed the proposed council manager plan of city government in Birmingham and pledged itself to conduct a campaign of education In behalf of the plan as soon as the bill Is passed by the leg islature. This action followed & lengthy study of the plan by com mittee especially appointed for the purpose, consisting of Mrs. Brenton Fisk, Mrs. T. D. Strock and Mrs. Lucy Wideman. The committee brought in report urging indorsement of the plan, signed by Mrs. Fisk and Mrs Strock. Mrs. Wideman did not con cur In recommending the plan, as there were several features in it of which she did not approve.
 It seems unlikely that the council manager bill will be pashed until after the recess. As long as 1t pro- vides that the plan shall be put up to the people to vote on, there seems no reason to expect any objection from the legislature to passing it. After it has passed, it will be neces- sary to explain it's merits to the voters and in this work the league can probably be of service.

Van Duzee Place

CAIRO, Ca, Dec. 24.-One Of
the largest land deals that has been
consummated here in a number Of

operative Plantation Company the
150-acre orchard of bearing pecan
trees, situated across the road from
what is generally known as the Van
Duzee place, three miles Of Cairo.
Though the consideration was not
given out, it was reported that the
price paid was in the neighborhood
of S135 an acre.
This is a choice orchard, and in
few years it will be considerably
more valuable than it Is at present
The Minnesota concern, which has
headquarters at Minneapolis, has

Investigations at the government

showed an increase of $50 pounds
per acre of seed cotton over those
on adjacent plantations that We're
not poisoned. Although the cost
of busting with airplanes, which
were supplied sand manned by the
service of the army, is not def

about SIS per acre. At present
