BIG DIFFERENCE
IN FLOUR TYPES
Increased Use of Soft-Wheat
Will Help Prices.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1t behooves the housewife to learn
to tell the difference between hard
wheat and soft-wheat flOurs, and to
know the particular use for which
each is best adapted With this knowI-
edge she can then select flour well
suited to her needs often at a distinct
saving in price and to the benefit of
local industry.
The United States is now growing
about as much hard wheat as it can
economically. The increase in the pro-
duction of bakers bread and in the
use of machine mixers in the bake
shops, has greatly increased the de-
mand for the hard-wheat f1ours. Their
higher gluten content gives them
greater ability to absorb water and to
stand the severe punishment" given
the dough by power machinery.
For many home uses. soft-wheat
f1ours are just as good or better than
the hard-wheat. 1t is easier to make
tender cake and flaky pie crust with
soft-wheat flour. For thickening
sauces, gravies and the hundred and
one other small household needs one
kind is as good as another. The house
wife can thus by greater use Of soft
wheat fours, help in stabilizing de-
mands and prices.
The housekeeper, however, some
times has difficulty In telling what
type of flour she is buying The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture suggests the following simple
tests for distinguishing hard-wheat
and sOft-wheat flours:
The fiours from soft wheats have
q velvety texture somewhat like corn
starch, and those from hard wheat are
usually more gritty, but it requires
some experience and a fine sense of
touch to detect this difference EX-
perts usually do it by taking a pinch
Of flour and rubbing it lightly between
the thumb and the third finger. An
other way to tell is by squeezing a
handful of 1t tightly and noticing
whether as the hand is opened the
1Our remains in a mold and shows the
impression Of the fingers. In this test
hard,wheat flour acts more like

Two-Piece Frock
Draws Attention
Blouse, in New Form, Often
Becomes Tunic-Attire
for Resort Wear.

The south of Europe and Of this
country is a playground to which the
world is rushing, and couturiers ac-
cOrdingly are putting their best ideas
into the elaborate wardrobe for the
resort season, observes fashion
correspondent in the New York Times.
Although Paris foretold that white
would be less fashionable than here
tofOre, at least half the lovely things
one finds among the models submitted
by any modiste or in any exclusive
shop are in white, though almost In
variably with some point Of color. The
popular fancy for needlework and for
cOlOred embroidery is illustrated in
many OF the new white gowns for the
South. On the dresses, wraps, tunics
and separate blOuses the needlework
of European craftswomen Is used with
picturesque effect. 1t is considered
smart to have a touch of this some
where In the ensemble. Black and
white in various smart combinations
is worn at the southern resorts; and
in color there is beige, biscuit, 'til-
leul'-the new shade of tender yell
w-green-apricot, peach, saffron,
coral, geranium and all of the pastel
shades. In materials the crepes,
kasha, prunella, repp, alpaca and the
sheer stuffs make up the assortment.
Occasional outstanding designs revive

especial Importance to the blouse,
which in the new form often becomes
a tunic, cut knee length or to a point
midway between the hip and the knee.
The straight untitled MILDLY shape
holds it's own. A regulation tailored
model is considered most modish and
Is copied even in the most elaborate
materials. The indolent habit of dress
ing in the morning for all day came
form Paris in wartimes for practical
reasons, and the laissez faire attitude
of these times has made it acceptable,
nowhere more so than at the southern
resorts. Two-piece frocks are of crepe
de chine, crepe roma or flat crepe, of
bengaline voile, taffeta, or whatever
is worn for any sort of occasion from
breakfast until tea and often for in
formal dinners, too. The model is
simple as to silhouette, but the fab
RIGS are fine. The plated skirt is
tremendously popular because it gives
chic to the appearance of almost any
figure and fits well the combination
with an OverhIOuSa
Strap Collar, wristbands.
A severely plain frock made of
crepe or similar goods, with the mar
row strap collar and wristbands, is
the popular frock for morning and
general daytime wear. The same
model expressed in terms Of crepe
satin with a tunic is translated into
a dress suitable for the tea dance, din
ner or the evening. It is particularly
"dressy'' when the skirt is of chiffon
with f1uttering godets or flounces and
kerchief or scarf is worn about
the neck. Among the latest things
from Paris are tunic blouseS of me-
tallic brocade and of metal laces.
These are gorgeous affairs. Worn with
skirts of white or light tinted ma
teriafs they make fantastic little suits
that are liked especially for restau-
rant dinners and suppers, though the

Romans Leaue Off Singing?

Romans no longer sing, complains
writer in the Rome MessagerO. There
was time, not long ago, when one
might hear carpenter pounding nails
to the tune of ''Funiculli" and a street
cleaner chanting "Sole Milo" over his
refuse. Rome, which is trying hard
to become a cosmopolitan capital like
Paris and Berlin, appears to be paying
the price.

CooIie Labor Not Cheap

A Chinese coolie who works for 10
cents, a day is paid, according to
standards of this country, 20 times
what he is worth because he can only
move one ton mile in day. Amer
1can railroads move one ton one mile
at a cost of only Il cent. The great
contrast illustrates the difference be-
tween man strength and mechanical

model is regarded as afternoon dress.
The most surprising number of yaria-
tions are to be had with the same
plan as a foundation. In a swagger
little frock from Monjaret, the blouse,
high in the neck and long in sleeves,
is made in plain color. The finely
plated skirt is of two colors, wide
stripe of the contrasting material run
ming through the middle
The popular idea of wearing a
white or light-colored blouse with
skirt Of black velvet is reversed
in some of the new suits, In which the
tunic or blouse is worn with a skirt of
white plated crepe de chine. Lanvin
has brought out an original two-piece
suit Of red kasha in which the con-
Arizona state miner., 1926-03-06

in the bolero style is made in two
shades of green. The frock is of fiat
crepe with plain rather snugly fitted
bodice fastened with a row of small
buttons to the Eton collar. The skirt,
which is attached to the blouse at the
hip line, fits at the top and flares
sharply at the bottom. The jacket is
Of a deeper shade Of green chiffon
velvet. The sleeves are made of the
crepe, with elbow cuffs Of velvet.
Some Unusual Things.
Among the frocks designed by
artists on both sides Of the water are
some of especial interest to the women
who prefer unusual things. A white
fiat crepe gown lately shown in the
theater has a long straight bodice on
which is appliqued at one side, near
the hip, a large rose embroidered with
crewels in shades of crimson and dark
green leaves. A modernistic effect Is
introduced with bits of silver kid
The skirt is finely plated and the
sleeves, also plated, are made in the
full bishop model with narrow
wristbands of crimson velvet ribbon.
The narrow collar cut sailor fashion
in front Is finished with two jabot
ends of the plated silk, touched with
crimson.
In costume designed especially
for the Riviera the creator departs
far from the jumper type of frock.
This is an ensemble of rose-beige
kasha. The one-piece dress, slender
in silhouette, is buttoned down one
side from the hip to the hem The
sleeves are long and tight, fastened
with buttons from the hand to the
elbow; and a wide scarf Of the kasha
cloth is worn straight across the front
of the bodice and crossed in the back
where it forms a V neck-line. 1t is
caught together with three buttons
and hangs in loose folds almost to the
bottom of the frock With this costume
is worn close hat of kasha with
slightly rolled brim at the front and
the fashionable high crown creased on
the top.
Capes Are Smart.
Capes are very smart. The feeling
for something to wear about the neck
and shoulders, seen already in vogue
of the scarf and shawl, has created
demand for capes as part Of the
costume. Vionnet has designed love
ly model for a young woman, in
French blue. The one-piece frock Is
made simply, with a bOx-plaited
f1ounce attached to the untrimmed
blouse. The coat, which is cut exact
ly the same length as the frock, has
deep rolled collar and a cape. In
evening dress some charming cos
tunes are shown, usually of crepe.
chiffon or georgette, In which the cape
affords grace and slight protection
against evening cool. An elaborate en-
semble from q Paris house of prestige
has softly draped f1aring gown of
white chiffon and a long cape of the
chiffon gathered toward the front and
caught with a large flower Of white
and silver gauZe. Several new and at
tractive illustrations Of the cape cos
tune are of two materials. Taffeta In
delicate shade of green is used In
one model, with chiffon alternating
in wide bands around the skirt. It
has 6 long circular cape made OF
chiffon In the same shade.

1t is not always question OF con-

Where mechanical features are In the
nature of a special equipment. the
logical thing is to seek service where
such equipment is serviced. Just as
the motorist should go to the Carbu.

should he seek the local brake spe.
cialist if the car carries such equip
ment as a hydraulic braking system.
There are certain jobs which the
dealer is better able to handle than
any one else. but this fact is just
coming to light. Heretofore the
motorist has regarded the dealers
service station as a place to avoid
until the car suffers q genuine break
down. Then the motSrist expected

disappointed as a rule. 1t could not
be otherwise, for neglect of the car
