jewelers.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

~ LIVE compilations and
jewelry-not much else,
was the answer of an
American in Paris when
asked recently what was
being worn by well dressed women in
France this Summer. Even bionoes
affect the brunette skin tones. and
women who can afford no diamonds
and few precious stones of any sort
wear jewelry.
Nowadays fashions in jewelry
change more often than fashions in
frocks, wraps or hats. You may be
able to wear a frock from last season
or even the season before. but the
type of necklace or bracelet that was
all the rage twelve or eighteen months
ago looks quite passe at present.
In years gone by when fashions in
frocks changed completely every six
months and when no woman would
have dreamed of wearing a last sea
sons bodice this seaSon-or not until
she had the sleeves changed-in those
days fashions in jewelry were pretty
permanent
Nowadays many women even have
their engagement diamonds reset from
time to time-not wishing to be dated
by a ring that was in fashion 10 or Is
years ago. Hands look younger. they
contend, when wearing rings Of the
latest design and workmanship.
In India they say a jewel worker
Is attached to every highcaste family
of wealth. 1t is his duty to care for
the family jewels and to provide them
with resettings from time to time.
It would be a matter of economy, 1t
would seem, for some rich Occidental
women to retain jewelers. for just this
purpose-for they have enormous bills
to pay the jewellers for resetting their
Jewels. The majority of women, how
ever, follow the easiest method-and
content themselves with wearing the
new jewelry fashions in quite mex
pensive versions.
To be sure there are some women
who retain the old-fashioned aversion
TO wearing anything of rhinestones or
strass in place Of diamonds, or pearls
that grow in factories instead of oys-
ter shells-but this Is a rather ex-
pensive prejudice to maintain.
Fondness for jewelry certainly
goes in cycles and the present seems
to be one of the years when this pre-
disposition is most manifest Some
years before the war, you may re.
member, the wearing Of much jewelry
was not considered smart. There was
a time before the war when earrings
were considered quaint or outlandish
Old women who had not kept abreast
of the times wore them. and they
were worn by women of the Ghetto,
perhaps, or by Italian immigrants.
Women who knew what was the
thing TO do didn't wear them. That
was before the screw earring had
been invented, and to wear earrings
meant to have ones ears pierced.

to the fashion of wearing numerous
artificial pearls, pearls so large and
so brightly tinted that they cannot
possibly deceive any one. One can
hardly call them imitation pearls,
because in most cases they make
no effort at imitation. There are
women who have given up this
fashion-but the other day Princess

there was a revived interest in this

There are, of course, all grades of
artificial pearls-you can get quite

Don't Neglect to Paint
Various Farm Buildings

There is probably no one other
thing that the average farmer neg
lects more than the judicious use of
paint. The idea seems to be prev
alent that paint is used primarily to
beautify. Its use is regarded as a
luxury rather than as necessity.
Paint does, Of course, improve the
looks Of farm buildings, but it is far
more useful as a means of protection,
says the Indiana Farmers Guide.
Paint and varnish, while beautifying
the home will at the same time length
en- the life of valuable piece OF
property.
Paint is an economic necessity. 1t
has been said that the life of a frame
building will be heightened from two
to four times by constant painting.
An inherited property, whose worth is
beyond valuation, or "a house that cost
much to build may be preserved in
definitely, If it is properly painted.
1t may easily get beyond the painters
ability to save. Plasterers, carpen-
ters and laborers, win cost nine times
the price of the first Stitch" and In
the end the painter will have to follow
them.

CONTROL APPLE BLOTCH DISEASE
BY MEANS OF SYSTEMATIC SPRAY

nearly white spots and dark, sunken,
oval areas appear on the leaves, but
only under extremely favorable condi-
tions does blotch become a serious
foliage disease.
Thorough sprinkling of thick,
bushy trees is difficult or impossible,
and these should be pruned before
treatment. The spray is most bene-
fetal when applied as fine mist
rather than a coarse stream. The lat
ter is likely to injure both fruit and
foliage, especially in the spring Where
blotch is only a minor disease the de-
partment recommends the use of lime
sulphur solution diluted at the rate
of ~ gallons to so gallons of water.
However, If fruit loss of more than
10 per cent has been caused by blotch
during the previous year, the applica-
tion of bordeaux mixture is advisable.

Apple blotch, a destructive fungous
disease attacking many Of the lead
ing varieties of apples, may be con-
trolled by spraying with bordeaux
mixture or lime-sulphur solution, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Trees of sus-
ceptible varieties, unless system
atically sprayed, are frequently killed
by repeated attacks by the blotch on
twigs and leaves, and nursery stock Is
often seriously damaged, says the de-
partment.
The disease, which is most severe In
southern and middle-weStern Or
chards, was given the name ''blotch"
because it describes the characters
tic spots appearing upon the fruit. AS
the disease progresses there is rum
ming together of several spots and a
change in color to deep brown or

ally In three directions from CEN

Alfalfa wilt Is new disease which

The feeding of only alfalfa and
SKINNED milk to dairy calves is not
entirely satisfactory. A mixture of
equal parts of alfalfa hay and prairie
hay will probably give better results

secured in abundance from neighbor-
hood garages. 1t is real pleasure
to watch this persistent pest give way
to treatment with the waste oil. Any
time before the hard stalk forms, the
dock leaves should be shaved off even
with the ground with sharp hoe.
On the stub, pour little of the waste
oil from a teapot or other suitable
container. One application seems to
kill and rot the roots of the plant.
Those who have had lot of trouble
keeping the burdock down ought to
enjoy using the waste oil.

Fats of Peanuts, Soy Beans,

From the results obtained to date
In the experimental work relating to

concluded, says the United States De
partment of Agriculture, that the
wider the ratio of softening fats In
the ration to the carbohydrates and
protein from which synthetic fat is
formed the firmer the carcass. 1t is
evident that the fat formed from
carbohydrates and protein is always
materially harder than that derived
from the fats of peanuts, soy beans,
rice and corn, all Of which are strik-
ingly softening.

Progress Made In Solution.
The progress made in the solution
of the problem in its more practical
aspects has come through the deflni-

the relative softening or hardening
properties of the feeds concerned In
