Hard Hit BY Drought.
The Southern California districts
were especially hard hit by drought
which delayed paintings. The central
districts where irrigation is relied on
were not affected SO severely. The
Hawaii cane crop estimates, how
ever, place the 1924 raw sugar yield
at $4,000 tons, or an increase OF
about 40,0 900 tons over last year. Java
sugars, according to eastern refiners,
are now being offered on the Pacific
coast.
Efforts to secure the reduction of
the tariff rates on Cuban sugars have
not made rapid progress and have
been met by challenge as to the ac-
curacy OF the figures on cost of pro-
duction. presented to members Of

Wide, Quaker cuffs add piquant touch to the snug tailored sleeves.
 Details of this suit are very interest ing. Plain bands edge the pockets and outline the jacket, as if to match the plain material in which the sleeves. col lar and skirt are designed.
 Another box coat shows two pockets, one slightly smaller than the one below it. Where the revers fold back a tail ored blouse is displayed. There is a.silk knitted tie of variegated colors to acc cent the mannish simplicity of this simple model.
 Double-breasted effects, such as Big Brother has been wearing, have now been taken over by the feminine contin- gent. But with all this mannish tailor ing, woman does not overlook the charm of her feminine accessories. One wears a boutonniere, colcrful scarf at the throat, tiny brilliant hat, or carries a vivid vanity case.
 A small. hat is correct to wear with these tailored suits. It, too, offers host of varieties, one of which is illustrated. Moire ribbon is draped over small shape and embroidered to design col ored silk blocks at the front.

 The strictly tailored suit challenges the popularity of the low neckline in blouses. You will notice that the blouse shows a high, turnover collar in such excellent harmony that it almost seems a part of the costume itself.
 While the tailored suit reigns supreme this Spring, we shall find some interest ing varieties in its lines. For example, consider the suit which has box coat striped from collar to hem with narrow silk braid. A turn-back collar offers a subtle, schoolgirl charm with its silk tie.
