SPOTLIGHT ON
DEBUTANTES'
FIRST FETE
Group of This Years
Buds Assemble for First
Party of Season
By JEAN ELIOT

By JEAN ELIOT
ENTER the debutante, some IS
II strong. Earlier 1t appeared that
there would be great many more
OF her, but, while a few girls have
recently backed in" a great many
more have backed out. However,
after many changes, a list has been
compiled which Is reasonably com.
plete and which seems likely to
stick
1t includes a Cabinet debutante,
Miss Alice Brooks Davis, daughter
Of the Secretary of War and Mrs.
Davis: one from the Senatorial
group, Miss Bina Day Deneen,
daughter of Senator and Mrs.
Charles s. Deneen, and two from
the diplomatic corps, Miss Betty
Chiffon, daughter of the Counselor
Of the British Embassy and Mrs.
Henry Getty Chiffon, and Miss
Dora Catalani, niece of the Second
Counselor of the Italian Embassy
and Nine. Catalani.
She will spend the winter with
Nine. Catalani's mother, Mrs.
Henry F. Dimock, and will be
presented under the wing OF this
influential matron. For the rest
the group includes Army and Navy
buds, a few whose families are
newcomers to Washington, and an
imposing number of the daughters
of resident Washingtonians OF
wealth and established social posi-.
ton, whose debut would make
something of splash in any sea
son.
First Debutante Party
These girls will come together
TODAY for the first debutante party
Of the year, a tea dance to be given
hy Mrs. Helen Ray HaEnsr at the
Club St. Marks. Several years ago
Mrs. Hagner, who had had her
niche in Washington society from
Rirlhood, conceived the idlea of
starting a social bureau, which
should be-and has been--a sort
Of clearing house for social activ.
tiles. Consequently she has had
MANY. of the debutantes of each
successive season under her pro-
tective wing and her annual tea
dance has become a Washington
institution.
Mrs. Hagner will entertain today
IN the newly opened DuBarry Room
of the Club st. Marks, once the
drawing room of the historic old
Draper mansion in which the club
IL established and done over charm
ingly in the French style. Mrs.
George C. Minnigerode and Mrs.
John Francis Shaw will preside at
the tea table.
To meet the buds Of this season
Mrs, Hagner has invited most of
last years debutantes, a few girls
who were presented a year or two
ago and q few, like Miss Helen
Minnigerode and Miss Helen Dain-
gerfield, who will not have formal
presentations but who will be in
cluded in many of the gayetias
for the younger set. There will
also, of course, be plenty of
cavaliers with the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps generously repre-
scented in the group.
Debutante Roster
The roster of the debutantes to
date includes--heside those already
named--Miss Alice Abadie and Miss
Anna Louise AbAdie, daughters of

Mounting Corn Shelters
on Automobile Trucks

Custom corn-sheller owners are
mounting their shelters on automobile
trucks The shelter is operated by a
power take-off arrangement from the
transmission of the truck. With this
combination of equipment, the shelter
owner increases his radius of opera
ton by ten or fifteen miles. If he so
desires.
Travelling from Job to job at rate
of eight or ten miles per hour, the
wait between Smelling jobs when a
number of farmers wish to shell at
the same time is greatly reduced,
great advantage when the price of
corn takes sudden jump or seems
in danger of declining. The outfit is
easily set atethe crib and requires
much less space than a tractor or
steam engine and 40 or 50-foot belt.
The days of work of custom she'll
ers can thus be increased materially
each year, as they can shell before
and after harvest and again following
silo filling.

Creosote Is Practical
Preservative for Wood

Since many farmers dc not have an
implement shed, and will continue to
get along without one, it may be well
to suggest other methods of protect
ing the machinery. On many imple-
ments the tongue, neckyoke and even
ers are the only wooden parts. These
parts may be taken off and stored in
the barn or in other sheltered places
Of they may be protected by paint.
Paint protects wood only by keeping
moisture and insects out, so it is neces-
sary that the wood be kept thoroughly
covered with paint Coal tar creosote
is the most practical wood preserva-
tive. 1t must penetrate the pores Of
the wood to protect it. Ordinary
paint cannot be used over creosote.

Give Extra Protection
to Bees During Winter

Bees should get extra protection
during the winter months. 1t should
be applied as soon as frost destroys
the food supply. 1t is well to make
sure that the bees have plenty of
honey TO carry them until the next sea-
son.
Excepting where winters are severe
no particularly elaborate precautions
need be taken, writes C. W. Rapp of
Arkansas in Capper's Farmer. In an
extra super. set on top of the stores,
a sack full of leaves or straw should
be placed. Care should be taken to
leave plenty of room for the bees to
pass from comb to comb from above.
Reducing the size of the front en-
trance also will tend to make the hive
warmer.
Protection for the hive proper may
be obtained by fencing around all but
the front of the hive with low chicken
wire. The space between the hive
and the wire should be filed with
leaves. straw or hay. Protection from
the north is desirable. and the hive
should be facing some other way.

Paid for His Neglect
to See Fire Was Out

That it pays to be sure the camp
fire is out" was brought home with
unusual force, says the forest service
of the United States Department of
Agriculture to Mr.. Jones of Price,
Utah, recent national forest visitor.
Mr.. Jones and his wife camped at
Cottonwood lake on the Wasatch ma
tional forest. Departing on a hiking
trip to a nearby summit, they left
spark of the camp fire burning. On
their return that evening they were
met near the camp site by group of
smoke-faced sawmill men, who direct
ed them to where a new and expen-
sive auto had stood when they left.
Nothing remained of an exceptionally
complete camp outfit and the car but
a pile of ashes and a smoldering
wreck. No damage was done to the
forest, but the campers loss was fully
$500.

Owners May Obtain Many
Benefits of Association
Work at Lower Cost.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Dairymen owning small herds may
obtain many of the benefits of asso-
citation testing at lower cost per
COW than would be obtained by the
regular dairy herd improvement as
sociation method. This fact is brought
out in Circular 10 entitled Testing
Cows for Production Every Other
Month";" by DR.. ]. C. Mcdowell, dairy
husbandman Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. AS the title
suggests, the method involves testing
every other month, or six times
year, instead of every month or u
times a year, as in the regular asso-
citation. In other respects the two
methods are alike.
Figures Used In Study.
The figures used in the study on
which the circular is based were
those from herd Of 20 cows at the
Minnesota agricultural experiment
station, and included the day-to-day
milking records for the year. With
these figures as a basis, the feed. pro-
duction and income records were cal
culated for six test days, and the errors
were computed by comparison with
the actual figures for the year. The
average error due to testing one day
in two months was 3.S per cent as
compared with an average error of
2.91 per cent in monthly tests. In
"a cases out of 20 the error was 5
per cent or more, as compared with
16 cases out of 20 in the monthly
method. The greatest error was 12.5
per cent, as against S.3 per cent on
the monthly basis.
Where Herds Are Small.
The circular concludes: 1T is not
expected that the method Of testing
every other month will take the place
of the regular dairy herd improve
ment association method, but that it
may find its own place in those dis
trfcts where the dairy herds are
SMALL"
The circular may be obtained by
writing to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington.

First Thing Is to Secure the
Necessary Amount of Seed.

Those who plan to have a garden
next spring should begin to think of it
now. First, a decision must be made
as to whether garden is wanted suf-
ficiently to give 1t attention. Next,
the garden plans need to be made, for
when the spring weather comes, the
gardener who is prepared to plant is
the one who will get the early vege-
tables.
ITO make plans for the garden, look
first to the seed supply" says Robert
Schmidt, vegetable specialist for the
department of horticulture at the
North Carolina State college. Seeds
men are now getting out their spring
seed catalogues, which may be had
for the asking. Place an order so that
sufficient seeds of the right varieties
will be on hand when they are needed
for planting. If any seeds are left
over from last year. they should be
tested for termination TO see if they
are still viable. This can be done by
placing a few seeds between moist
plotting paper or cloths and keeping
them in warm place for few days.
For an early garden pick out
light, sandy piece of ground. A clay
