RAISING BLUE
FOXES

DAISING blue foxes for their
h pelts is becoming an impor-
tant enterprise on the islands
along the southern coast of
Alaska, according to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. So rapidly
has the industry grown that prac-
tically all suitable islands con-
trolled by the department have
already been leased for this pur-
pose. Blue fox farming is prac-
ticed on outlying islands of little
or no value for agriculture. The
foxes are allowed to roam over
an entire island, where they
choose their mates and make
dens. The animals are, in most
instances, fed at regular inter
walls by the ranchers.
Attempts to raise blue foxes in
pens in Alaska have met with
some success. It Is claimed by a
number Of ranchers and raw fur
buyers, however, that the pelts Of
blue foxes thus raised lack the
quality and finish of those pro-
duced under wild conditions.
A long, cold winter with a
fair amount Of rainfall, particu-
larly in spring, is conductive to
the production of good pelts. An
island chosen for u fox ranch
should have q harbor for a boat
to permit communication with the
mainland or other islands. Since
fish is the chief article Of food
in the diet of the blue fox, prom
unity to q cannery is Of decided
advantage, as the waste material
makes excellent feed for the
foxes.

SMART SPORT
CLOTHES
BY Alice LangeIier

PARIS.
CPORT clothes for the autumn
- and winter are showing
some striking new changes, tend
ings to make them smarter than
ever before and taking them out
OF the regular sporting category.
Clothes intended for sport wear
are coming less and Less to be
confined to those materials for.
merly associated with strenuous
exercise. This year the smart
couturiers are using wool,
kashIa, leather betal, fur, and
even embroidery, all combined In
chic models for all kinds Of out
door wear.
Patou makes his sport suit
very mannish in beige and
brown tweeda with a skirt,
sweater and short jacket. Chanel
offers smart jumpers and skirts
In all the new shades worn with
a Jersey and tie of the newest,
sort in silk and wool. Lanvin Is
showing a charming sport cos
tune in chartreuse kasha in two
pieces with an amusing touch Of
embroidery, and Lucien Lelong
likes an ensemble OF blue kasha
with a severely tailored coat
matching.
DrecAH also uses kasha pIeated
and striped in Camaien effects
and Chantal is showing an ex-
tremeIy attractive novelty in
shetland wood edged with blue
kasha with a pleated skirt. An
other of her models has q red
dish homespun skirt with a
sweater and scarf OF red and
beige edged with the same.
The newest sport stockings
show not only the conventional
browns and greys but striking
black and white contrasts and
woolly angora materials made up
In green and rose.
Fur coats Of the sport type
are usually cut on straight lines
with a hidden side fullness.
Some in moleskin are shown on
full circular lines with the APP
pearance Of a frock. One in
prined rabbit resembles leopard
and is made very straight.

MAIN HOUSE ON
OLD STuRC|S FARM
BURNED TO GROUND

Prompt arrival of the motor pump
er of the Augusta fire department and
the quick work OF the firemen upon
arrival resulted in the saving of the
ell and large barn connected with the
old Sturgis house. as it IS known, on
the Whitehouse property at Gardner S
Crossing, when the main house caught
fire about $50 Monday night from a
defective chimney. The house itself
was totally destroyed but its con-
tents were saved.
The flames were discovered in a
chamber on the second floor of the
house by Mrs. George Parker, who re-
sided there with her husband and
two sons. A small hose was quickly
attached to a pump but failed to func-
tion properly and upon the arrival OF
neighbors with soda fre-extinguishers
efforts to work the hose were given
up. When the small extinguishers
had given cut. a bucket brigade was
formed by the people from that vicin-
ity and this continued to function ur-
til the arrival of the firemen, who at
once laid a line Of hose to a nearby
brook.
Others had in the meantime removed
the contents of the house and the re-
mainder Of the property was saved
by the use Of the big hose. The DAM
age was estimated at about $500.
which was thought to be covered by
insurance. The apparatus returned to

Pope Plus said he hoped the long

love for all faithful children, the
pontiff instanced the fact that he
