Shades in Hosiery to
Match Spring Ffocks

With the coming of spring and the
vogue of matching hose with the frock
there comes the question of color. The
advent of navy blue, observes a fash
ion authority, has brought in a great
deal of gray hosiery. The rose beige
remains with us, so does the popular
gunmetal shade, and in fashionable
gatherings in Paris and New York
the reliable black chiffon hose is ap-
pearing frequently. The effsrt of
stylists to bring it back, has been 60
ing on for the past season.
The fastidious woman may as we'll
take hint from the stage. Have you
noticed how many of the actresses
wear service weight silk hose instead
of chiffon? The reason is, of course,
an obvious one. In matching the color
to the costume the heavier-weight
hose holds a more uniform color than
any other. This hint may well be
used by the woman who would match
perfectly her hose and frock.
The STANDARD beige" a tone from
which the rosy fringe is banished, and
graygreen gunmetal, are very popular.

BETTER KITCHENS
HELP THE HOMES
Some Points That Make for
Convenience GiUen.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrculture)
In line with suggestions from many
sources for making better homes are
several points on kitchen planning
from the bureau of home economics
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture cooperating with Better
Homes in America.
One of the first things the home
maker thinks about in a better home,
is well-arranged, well-eQuipped
kitchen. That does not mean that she
is kitchen-minded either. 1t means
rather that she knows where cOnven-
fence counts most in a house. In
most family kitchens at least 1000
meals are cooked during the course
Of every year. Surely for any job
that comes as regularly and often as
getting three mealsa day, every step
saving, time-saving arrangement pos
sible should be included in the plan
and the equipment.
The points that make for conven-
ience in the kitchen are as follows,
according to the bureau of home
economies:
First, last, and all the time in plan
ming end eHuipping kitchen, says the

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The time to take precautions against
house flies is before the first fly gets
into your home in the spring and be-
gins it's egg-laying activities. A fly
or two in May or June means hun
dreds of flies by midsummer from
which there is no protection. 1t must
be generally understood that if people
were only sensible and would look for
the breeding places of the flies, they
could destroy the larvae before they
become flies. In the country every
householder practically breeds his own
flies. In cities or towns it is distinctly
the duty Of the health officers to see
that breeding places are cleaned up or
treated. Where the health officers
seem Indifferent, citizens clubs should
be formed or existing organizations
should take the matter in hand. Wom-
ems clubs have been very successful
in this direction.
There are also certain precautions
which the individual home may OBJ
serve. Screens for the windows and
screen doors should be looked over as
early as possible In the season, to
make sure that they are whole and
fit well, and are otherwise in good con-
dition. A screen having IA strands to
the inch will exclude flies but finer

Vegetable Juices Are
Rich in Mineral Matter

Do not drain off the juices from
canned vegetables and throw them
away. There is no reason for throw
ing away the liquor from canned foods
unless there are evidences of spoil
age, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Then the
solid contents should also be dis
carded. The idea that canned vege-
tables themselves are safe to eat if
the juice from the same can is un-
fit, has no foundation in fact. The
practice Of draining probably goes
back to the days when certain vege-
tables were put up in brine too salty
to be served with the vegetables.
They thenhad to be drained and some
times soaked in clear water to make
them edible. There is no excuse for
this practice now. The liquor around
canned vegetables contains valuable
mineral matter and draining it off
means important loss in nutritive
value.

mesh is necessary to exclude the
smaller mosquitoes
If flies have already succeeded in
getting into your house organize q
'drive" at once among the members
of the family. Darken all rooms leav-
ing one brightly lighted opening
toward which the flies can be driven
with swatters and towels. A good
many flies can be excluded in this
way. Sticky fly paper will help to
catch the few that escape the drive"
or weak solution of formalin may be
placed in the various rooms. This
should be put out of reach of children.
To make it, add three teaspoonfuls of
commercial fOrmalin to a pint of milk
or water sweetened with little brown
sugar. A convenient way of exposing
this poison is by partly filling an ordi-
nary drinking glass with the solution.
A saucer or plate is then lined with
white blotting paper cut the size of
the dish and placed bottom up over
the glass. The whole is then quickly
inverted and a small match stick
placed under the edge of the glass.
AS the solution evaporates from the
paper more flows out from the glass,
automatically renewing the supply.
Many types of fytraps are on the
market and good homemade traps are

Pretty Chiffon Capes
for Summer Evenings

Some Of the pretty little chiffon
capes to be worn for summer eve
nings and matching the frock Or con-
trasting with it are made of pink
or green and worn with the gown in
one of these colors trimmed with the
other.
A pretty way to make one Of these
capes Is to smock the fullness into
the neck and scallop and bind the
lower edge. The cape may be lined
or unlined. But when it is lined the
opportunity is offered to combine
these pale shades. The shocking can
be done in a different color from the
cape material. A band of fur around
the neck makes it warm enough for a
spring day. If one chooses. a long,
straight scarf may finish the neck. It
should be doubled and it can tie once
or twice around the neck, ending in a
bow with short or long ends.
These capes may be any length one
prefers. If they are intended to be
used just as an effective collar they
may be quite short. But many women
will like them for a summer wrap and
an economical idea would be to have
an afternoon frock of one shade and
an evening gown of the other SO that
the cape might be worn with either.

KILLS HERSELF TO
MEET DEAD FRIEND
Girl Lies on Track and is
MangIed by Train.

Kansas City, Mo.-Miss Norma
Freeman, twenty-one years old, died
at Olathe, KAN with the hope she
would join in death a friend whom
she loved.
1t was with such a hope that she
left her home to place herself on the
Santa Fe tracks outside Olathe and
await death. Still conscious when
taken from beneath the train, she re-
iterated her desire to die and join the
spirit of her music teacher.
After hearing of the death of Miss
Minnie Alderman of Pleasantview.
Miss Freeman apparently made calm
preparations to take her own life. She
had taken piano lessons from Miss
Alderman for five years.
Upon hearing of Miss Alferman's
death, Mr.. Freeman telephOned his
daughter at the Kansas City Rail-
ways company, where she was en-
ployed. Later he telephoned to tell
her Of the funeral arrangements. Miss
Freeman said she would buy some
flowers and take them to the Alter
man home.
She carried out her intentions,
staying beside Miss Alfermans body
about half an hour. Then she went
home to Olathe.
She found her parents preparing to
go to the theater. Through the din
ner she laughed and conversed in a
normal manner. After the family had
gone the girl sat at the piano and
played compositions which Miss AL
ferman had taught her At ten o'clock
she stopped and telephoned the Santa
Fe railroad.
What time does the night train
come through?' her sister heard her
ask. The girl told her sister she w6s
going out and left the house.
At 1O:35 the engineer of the Santa
Fe stopped his train at Cemetery
crossing, near Olathe, with the SEN
sation that he had run over some one

zee Cream, Consumption
SholUs LARGE Increase

The consumption of ice cream in
the United States has increased from
1.04 gallons a year per person in
1910 to 2.S gallons in 1925, the De-
partment Of Agriculture has an
nounced Per capita consumption in
1924 was 2.5 gallons. The total quanti-
ty of ice cream consumed last year
is estimated at 322, 10000 gallons,
compared with 2S5,55OOOO gallons in
1924, and 26O,OOO,OOO gallons in 1920.
Increased consumption is said to
be due largely to Improvement in
quality and to nationwide educa-
tional campaigns on the food value
of ice cream. The popularity of ice
cream has increased rapidly in Eng
land, Germany, and some other coun-
tries. England is reported to have
increased consumption more than
100 per cent in the past year.

Trimmings That Add to
Appearance of New Hats

A graceful, wide-brimmed hat of
black malines is faced with shell pink
frills which also passes around the
crown and forms fat, folded bow
on one side-f1attering to most faces.
Black malines is faced with black
faille and trimmed with aigretted
vulture plumage- extremely smart.
Black ballibuntl straw is faced with
king blue crepe and trimmed with
grapes and apples made of silk and
velvet.
Suzanne Talbot in Paris trimmed a
green horsehair hat with one large
red ribbon poppy on the right side,
with the green stem twisting round
the crown.
Gilt flowers and leaves are used
to trim a hat made of mauve faille

Bank Cashier Embezzled
From Rich to Help Poor

Muvane, Kant just couldn't re-
fuse a loan," was the excuse J. L.
Rosencrantz, cashier Of the Farmers
State bank, gave when he pleaded
guilty of embezzlement of $217, ,691.
He has begun serving a prison se.l-
tence of twelve to fifty years. The
bank has been forced to close.
Rosencrantz played the part of a
modern Robin Hood admittedly steal
ing from the rich to help the poor.
The farmers, laboring men, and for
eigners, who were friends of Rosen-
crantZ usually took their wives and
children, many of them in rags, when
they went to the bank to borrow
money, according to Rosencrantz.
The cashier said he saved the crops
of many farmers by giving loans He
said the men needed the money to buy
feed for their cattle, to purchase farm
implements, and to meet notes at
banks
Bank and state officials admitted
that Rosencrantz never benefited per-
sonally by cent from the thousands
he is said to have stolen. According
to examiners, he loaned money from
only the accounts of wealthy patrons
But the soft-hearted cashier must suf-
fer, for the loans never were repaid
to the bank.

Jumper Suit Has
Prominent Place
Popular Outfit Adaptable to
All Ages-Worn With
or Without Coat.

Sports dress is the first consider
alton for the spring wardrobe, and
the models of this type have never
been more attractive. The jumper suit
carries on, more popular, If possible,
than 1t was last season. This jolly,
chic, wholly comfortable outfit has
been found to be adaptable to young
The model has been so universally ac-
cepted that this seasons version is in
a way standardized.
These jumper frocks Of wool are in
tended, Of course, for the strenuous
sports or general utility of the short
spring season, when they will receive
hard wear, and for occasional use
through the later months at seashOre
or mountain resort. They may be
worn with or without tOpcoat, most
often with just a fur piece or with
one of the scarfS of wool, taffeta or
crepe in gay colors, so fashionable
this season. Having wider use, the
crepes are more in demand than any
other single fabric. They are now to
be had in many different weaves and
weights.
Some exceedingly swagger jumpers
from Paris are coat-like in character
and others are patterned after the
classic norfolk Jacket, with one of
the many new belts of kid, patent
leather or suede. A few are shown
with fullneSS hroupht out throurh a
bias or side clusters of plaits below
the belt. In an ultra-smart suit done
by Lanvin the short skirt of crepe de
chine is plated so closely as to pro-
duce a punctuated ripple at the bot
tom. One now sees jumper frocks
distinguished from jumper suits be-
cause they are made of lighter ma
terials-lame, lace embroidery and
the most fragile stuffs.

Snappy Plaid Cape-Coat
Appeals to Young Women

The "Kiki coat" is one of the most
effective cape-cOats of the season. 1t
is made of large-squared plaid ma
terial with a scant cOat-skirt and with
a detachable cape. Without the cape,
the coat becomes a practical plaid
sports coat of Strengthened type, suit
able for country wear. With the cape,
it is among the snappiest of coats for
street wear. OF course, a stout per-
son or one well along in years will
not care for this coat, as it is de-
signed for young women.

for summer, made of spun silk broad
cloth, are very dignifed, with tucks and
pearl buttons as their only elaboration.
The quality of the material adds
greatly to their appearance, as it has
a great deal of body and stands up
well. Models show white and an oys-
ter tint, but all the sports shades will
be available. These dresses are cut
on straight lines with long sleeves and
turnover collar with which tie may
be worn.
