SIMPLIFYING HOME SEWING

If you do much sewing at home
for yourself or your, daughters, a
foundation pattern for each one will
simplify the cutting and designing of
simple dresses, suggests the Bureau
Of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
By that is meant an individually fit
ted plain pattern with normal seam
lines, neck, and armholes, which
may be used as fitting guide for
checking commercial patterns and as
a basis for planning decorative feat
ures. Such a permanent foundation
pattern is best made in firm cotton
material. Unbleached muslin, cam
brio, or bingham is satisfactory for
the purpose. The commercial pat
tern that seems best suited to the IN
dividual type of figure should be fol
lowed. 1t must first be carefully
tested before the cloth pattern is cut.
Sometimes a pattern bought by bust
It may, therefore, be advisable to
find pattern that fits the shoulder
measurements and alter it to con-
form to the bust before cutting the
lress. Measurements of the figure
should always be taken and checked
on the paper pattern. The length of
the sleeve varies frequently, for ex
ample, and the paper pattern must
be heightened or shortened accord
ingly. Neck, shoulders, and other
parts may need still further fitting
when the guide or cloth pattern is
basted together and tried on.
A large checked Bingham is sug-
gested for the foundation pattern,
because the warp and filling threads
of the material are most easily SEEN
When the pattern has been complete
" fitted you can mark the straight
Of the material in each piece of the
cloth pattern for convenience in cut
ing by making slash 6 to inches |
ong, exactly following thread.
A woman can fit her own founda-
ton pattern, but it is better to have |
help. After it has been fitted 1t may |
be cut down the center front and |
center back, and one-half used as a
pattern for simple dresses, the other
as a basis for designing Almost
any style of dress and many blouses
can be designed from such founda-
ton pattern. Stitch all seam and /
dart lines with contrasting thread.
making the pattern reversible. Also
stitch all pieces .one-eighth inch

CARE OF THE BABY

Because the summer weather, es-
pecially during and following heat
wave, is likely to be accompanied by
flare up OF dirrahoeal diseases
among babies and young children,
the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
State Department of Health, gives
the following suggestions to
mothers:
l. Mothers Milk. Give your
baby mothers milk. No food can
compare with it. 1t is especially
suited to the baby's needs, it is prac-
tically free from germs and it is usu-
ally given in just the quantities the
baby needs
is not available, give the baby the
next best Observation-Disclosures hand
led, clean-cow's milk, diluted with
water according to the doctors di-
rections. The mixture should be
boiled for two or three minutes to
destroy the germs that enter cows
milk even with most careful hand
ling. The milk should be boiled in
The same way when given to the old
,r children.
8. Feeding intervals. Let at least
hree hours pass between feelings.
If cows milk is used it is better to
have four hours between feelings.
4. Cooled Boiled Water. Give
the baby cooled, boiled water to
drink between feelings.
5. Flies Keep flies away from
he baby; from his food and from
everything connected with him.
6. Clothing. Dress the baby &C
;ording to the temperature. Be
careful to have light cover at hand
20 slip over the baby when there is
sudden drop in the temperature.
Z. Your Doctors care. Keep in
touch with your doctor. Take your
baby to him regularly. Get his adj
vice promptly at any indication of
digestive disturbance.
Though the babies outside of the
| anger cities have the advantage of
| fresh air and more open spaces than
| The city babies and have long been
supposed to be sturdier than the city
babies, the records of the State De-
| partment of Health show less sick
ness and fewer deaths among the
babies and young children in Balti-
more City from diarrheal diseases
than among the babies in the coun-
ties. Taking the figures for the last
ten years, it is interesting to note
| that from 1917 to 1921 the county
tbabies had the advantage. But
from 1922 to 1926 the conditions
we're reversed, with many more
deaths among the babies in the rest
of the state than in Baltimore City
Commenting on the greater loss
among the county babies, DR.. j. H
NJ. Knox, Jr., chief of the Bureau OF
Child Hygiene said 1.-The marked de-
crease in sickness and deaths from
diarrheal diseases among the babies
in Baltimore City corresponds close
to the greater care in the handling
Of the milk in the city and to the
ease with which the mothers in the
;ity can secure the necessary advice.

RATS

The Department of Agriculture
says rats are probably decreasing in
numbers in the United States.
Present-day sanitary requirements
and modern building are having
their effect. But in spite of all that
has been done, the rat is still man
kinds greatest enemy in the animal
world. The Department has just is
sued a new bulletin on Rat Control.
It's Farmers Bulletin No. 1887.
1t points out that you should rat
proof all new buildings. Close all
openings through which rats can
gain entrance. Remove all shelter
for rats. Promptly dispose of all
garbage, trash, and other waste on
which rats can feed. Kill the rats!

Governor Richie of Maryland
says that half the issues that now
eventuate in Federal legislation and
Federal bureaus could and should be
handled by the States" He thinks
there should be a more effective or
ganization of the House OF Governors
to this end, though he presented no
detailed plan. That might be diff
ficult matter. Nevertheless these
annual conferences might become OF
real value. If the Governors came
to an agreement on any subject OF
Importance the influence upon legis-
lation would be great.

the ORANGE NETWORK

Radio listeners, who hear the night
ly programs of the National Broad
casting Company, Inc, hear the an
nouncement that the program is be-
ing given over the Orange Network.
What is the Orange Network, they
ask, and SO the explanation is forth
coming.
The National Broadcasting Com
pany first established the Red Net
work Of stations in the East with the
key station, WEsAF, in New York. A
number of stations were connected
with WEAF by telephone wires, max
ing it possible for them to get the pro-
gram at precisely the same time.
Later the Blue Network, with WIZ
as the key station, was established.
The colors red and blue were used
to trace the stations on the map since
they extended over number of
states. They were used for contrast.
When the National Broadcasting
Company came to the Pacific Coast
and established a chain of stations,
Of KGO, Oakland; KPO,
San Francisco; XII, Los Angeles;
KGW. Portland; KHQ, Spokane; and
and KFOA, Seattle, they
searched for a name that would be
descriptive of the network on the
Pacific Coast. Some color was de-
sired that would be suggestive Of the
West. something of the West alone.
The Color Orange was decided upon
because the West is noted for its
glorious sunsets and the primary
color of the sunsets is Orange.

eAlLATIN GATEWAY OPEN
BY Lon. H. Cook

The opening of the Gallatin Gate
way Inn, June II, by the Milwaukee
Ra lroad is Montana's first great tour
list hotel outside Of the National Park
boundaries.
Officials of the state and nation
gathered with hundreds of other visit
ors as guests of the Chicago Milwau-
kee & St. Paul Railroad. Among the
| prominent guests invited to attend this
opening were: Stephen Mather, Direc-
tor of National Park Service; Secretary
Work of the United States Cabinet;
Governor ]. E. Erickson of Montana !;
President, H. E. Byram of the Mil
waukee Railroad.
The Gallatin Gateway Inn, which
marks the opening to the National
Park entrance, is fourteen miles south
of Bozenan which was formerly call
ed Salesville, almost at the mouth Of
the famous Gallatin River Canyon as
the terminal of the park route and the
town was named. Gallatin Gateway.
The Milwaukee claims to have sew
eral thousand tourists signed up for
the park this year. The investment
by the railroad Of some one-half mil
lion dollars in the Gallatin Gateway
Inn is sign OF their faith in the
pernanency Of the new route to the
park. This particular route has long
been famous for it's scenery, but only
recently have the roads been improved
to the point that tourist traffic could
be lred in this direction to the park.
The hotel itself is narvelously dec
Grated and equipped with every con-
ceivable convenience for the public.
The woodwork in the foyer, as
throughout the building, is of natural
PHILIPPINE mahogany finished in its
natural brown-gray stucco; the cell
ings finished in stucco and decorated
with simple but rich band of color
stucco. The height of the foyer, its
clever color scheme and the efficient
arrangement Of the service stands
gives an effect Of size that is sur-
prising to the visitor.
The dining room, which will accom-
odate one hundred eighty-six, is decor
atcd with a pleasing color in orange
and cream witt, the Same lighting
effect for the room, and is situated
SO that the diner may vision his
coming trip through the scenic route
the Gallatin Gateway.
The Milwaukee has taken great pains
in the location OF this hotel so that
their patrons may enjoy the scenic set
ting that is supreme ii sts bsstty and
effect.

ELECTRICAL INVENTION
/ CONTROLS ORCHARD PESTS

Search for q substitute for arsenate
of lead in the control Of codling rnotl
and other orchard pests has led to .
new invention that was tried out ir
Cashmere last Friday md again Mon.
day of this week before several hun.
dred intereated growers. The inven.
ton is an electrical apparatus that IS
hesigned to destroy orchard pests and
fungi and was built during the last
year at Seattle by DR.. B. NJ. Burgland
and installed on the ranch of L. H.
Titchenal, where it win be demon
strated during the summer and fall.
The machine has a 100000 volt ca
pacity and develops four kinds of cleo
trcdty, Dr. Burgland stated, one Of
which destroys mico-organisms, para
sites. larvae and all kinds of fungi that
are detrimental to trees, shrubs and
fruit.
Besides destroying pests, the appar-
atus Is designed to stimulate growth
of vegetation. Without any change
except the moving of switch lever,
enormous quantities of ozone and nj
are liberated from the air
and converted into fertilizer by combi-
nation with lime and potash salts in
the soil, the result being nitrate.
A negative current will fetard the
growth Of plant life through r1eutrali-
cation of the acid in fruits and vege-
tables. The inventor announced that
attempts will be made to control the
grade and flavor of fruit. /
At present the current is sent along
a wire stretched over row Of trees.
Smaller wires are suspended from this
main wire to the ground, so as to re-
senble an Indian tepee. A company
Of stockholders has been formed. to
be called the American Radex Com
pany. The inventor at one time
served as research engineer for the

WATER SERVICE UNDER
REcE|vERSnIP GOOD

Marvin Chase. receiver for the Con
sumner Ditch company and the Blacl
Rock Power & Irrigation company
was in the valley most of the week
Mr.. Chase said that the collection oi
the annual maintenance charge of SIS
per acre had been very good and he
did not believe it would be necessary
to shut off the water in but few cases,
t any for notl-payment of these
charges. He AM said that the SIS per
acre charge would be sufficient to
cover all expenses of the season and
would leave a small cash balance on
Qland at the end of the season, barring
a possible breakdown at the power
or pumping plant which might cost
thousands of dollars to repair.
Two test suits, Mr.. Chase said. were
being prepared and will be filed short.
.H by Judge Graves in Federal Court
to determine the legal status of the
back maintenance charges that arc
years in arrears.
Mr.. Chase says that all Of the
records pertaining to the receivership
are in the office at Kanford and open
to inspection 10 any interested water
right owner.
The service under the system this
year has been unusually good. There
have been no shut downs; more water !;
is being, delivered through the system
than ever before and the operation |
cost has been cut considerably under
that exacted by the company. Every
water user has been furnished from
two to three times the contract allow
ance and in most cases the cost has
been much less than in other years. !
During the receiyership, the opera
ton Of the property will be under the
jurisdiction of Judge Webster of the
Federal Court and under the direct
supervision of Mr. Chase. who is the
officer of the Court. Mr.. Chase's
salary has been fixed by the Court at
$3.50 per month, about the same salary
as that received by the manager of
The company. Under Mr.. Chase's ad-
however, savings in oper-i
alton costs have been effected that
will probably amount to a consider
lble sum by the end of the irrigation
season.
The receivership lat best, however,
S but temporary arrangement and
sooner or later the matter will have
o be settled by the Court and the pro-
ect will have to stand on it's own feet.
Mr.. Chase realizes this and during his
enure of office he is making a care
ul study of the physical condition of
he system and all elements that will
inter into settlement. so that when
he time comes he will be able to lay
hese facts before the Court with his
for a permanent
'ettlement. He feels that he will re-
,uire the whole irrigation season to
amiliarize himself with these condi-
ions and to work out proposal in
he way of settlement to present to
he Court.
