UNIT COOPERATION

War Department Settles Dispute
Between Air Service and
Coast Artillery.

The ~ ar Department yesterday ap-
oarentEy disposed Of the long standing
controversy between the Army air
service and the coast defense as to
which has the greater military value
from t3le standpoint of national pro-
lection by declaring in d statement
that only through cooperation of

coast defense
The statement was Z summary of a
report prepared by a special board of
the department which made a study of
the Joirt exercises held al Fort Mon
roc last October and November by the
two branches of defense.
However, the statement adds that
before any decision on the question of
superior effectiveness Of one service
over the: other can be arrived at, more
detailed and thorough experiments
arc necessary to determine definitely
tho proper interrelatiou between the
two branches.

CaEPES IN FAVOR
Material Holds Lead for Dress
Last Word for Dressy Coats
and Chic Wraps.

It is easy to deduce that crepes are
still at the top Of the line as far as
spring garments are concerned. They
lead for dress, both daytime and eve
ming wear, and represent the first and
last word for dressy coats and wraps,
says the Dry Goods Economist. For
tie three-piece they create at least
half Of the design, and later we may
confidently look for the three-piece
made entirely Of crepe. Flat crepes
are most often used. Crepe ROMAN
makes very distinguished looking
dresses and coats. Crepe satins are,
If anything, a little stronger, especial
ly when the bright and dull sides are
used in contrast.
Printed chiffon rivals the printed
crepes and makes beautiful gowns all
by itself or assists other materials to
the same end. Georgette crepe re-
tains it's place in the mode, more as a
staple, however, than as fashion
item.
For evening taffeta enjoys its usual
distinction, both shot and changeable
varieties, very exquisitely carried out
in the matter Of detail and decoration.
Even black taffeta has appeared for a
dinner gown; in association with fine
ecru lace and hand work.
With few exceptions, the white crepe
dress with plated skirt and plain
bodice and pocket and plastron trim
is shown as the approved type for
spring. Sleeves of these dresses are
either long and in bishop style, or stop
a good four inches above the elbow
Monogram embroideries and pockets
on both bodice and skirt are empha-
sized.
White gowns embroidered in black
or in color, such as scarlet or emerald,
are well spoken of, the embroidery be-
ing introduced in monogram effect on
the bodice, and in all-over design on
the pockets.
With these gowns are shown smart
little sleeveless coates in black or in
bright-colored wool velours or silk
velvet.
Coats, in either suede or glazed kid,
are in demand for motor and for rain
garments. Suede trimmed raincoats
in rubberized crepe de chine are also
features.
In neckwear, matched sets Of lin
gerie collar and cuffs, with deep
befthas in net, in lace or in organdy,
stand out as the leading features for
spring. Plated stoles on the clerical
order also are featured, and are being

Keeping Track Of Expenses Of
Household Supplements Rec
ords of Farm Business.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture1
Household accounts are valuable on
the farm as elsewhere, even though
farm household expenses are very in
of the farm itself. The farm normally
supplies much material which other
wise would become a household ex-
pense. The household, in turn, very
often furnishes board for farm labor,
which would otherwise be a farm ex-
pense. Keeping track of household
expenses therefore supplements the
records of the farm business, points
out the United States Department of
Agriculture.
More than this, household accounts
are an important aid to economy. The
first step toward saving lies usually
in finding out where unnecessary ex-
penses are incurred 1t is important,
therefore, to analyze or classify the
expenditures and go over them care
fully at the end Of regular periods.
One way of doing this is to record all
purchases when money is paid out and
then make up monthly statement
for each kind or class of expenditure.
Another method is to enter every
thing in column at one side Of a
broad page, and at the same time en-
ter the amounts again in the columns
for each class. This system makes it
possible to find out at any time the
amount being spent for any given kind
Of purchase and the monthly totals
are easy to add up.
Book Not Important.
The kind of a book to use is not
important. Each family will have a
different way Of classifying its ex-
penses. An ordinary ruled square
blank book bound at the left side is
usually satisfactory for dividing off
into columns according to the needs
of the individual family. To avoid

season. Many of these for sports
wear are made of the popular gypsy
and bandanna print silks. Flowers
used for hat and bag breathe the spirit
of summer. The floral hat pictured
at the top is in raspberry tones, the
large flowers being of velvet. It
would be very effective to make

those used in the flowers on the hat.

and over, number of pages may be
cut off at the tops so that permanent
column heads may be read above them.
A large page is usually easier to
record on and to study when the record
is complete.
Foods may be classed as animal
foods, " fruits and vegetables cereal
products, groceries" Many farms
furnish large part of the first three
items The totals for these groups
should offer suggestions as to how
the expenses for them may be reduced
by greater home production. 1t has
been found that on the average farm
80 per cent of the animal products
and 70 per cent of the fruits and vege-
tables consumed by the family are
taken out of the farm.
Clothing, household furnishings, run
ming expenses, advancement, Incl
dentals, and savings are other general
classes of expenditures for which sep
arate accounts may be kept according
to the second method. Under each of
these heads many subdivisions may
be made, but for the most purposes
this general classification will be found
sufficient.
AnaIyze Totals Yearly.
Recording the expenditures, how
ever, is but half the task. If the

year with the idea of making a
spending plan for the coming year,
little is gained from merely writing
down the daily expenditures. This
spending plan may be made for a
month or even a week ahead, if the
future is uncertain. The aim should
then be. if possible, to spend less actual
cash than the proposed plan allows.
On the farm it is often possible to ac-
complish this by charging the vege-
table garden, so that the family eats
more vegetables and desires less OF
foods which must be bought, and also
so that there is a good surplus to can
for winter USE More well-managed
poultry may be needed to provide eggs
for the table and chickens to eat or
can. The amount of milk, butter and
cheese furnished by the farm cows
may be insufficient. Possibly investi-
CATION will show that this is because
of low grade of farm animals which
could be improved by better farm
practice.
1t has been found that, in general,
over 60 per cent Of the food and over
30 per cent of the fuel consumed by
farm families are produced on the farm.
