Magpie's Many Virtues

The magpie, which is quite common
on the plains and mountains of the
West, has many excellent qualities
and as many bad ones. As an insect
eater the magpie surpasses the crow
and all other members Of the same
family. Destructive weevils, caterpil-
lars and grasshoppers characterize its
insect food, which forms nearly So
per cent of its diet. The magpie also
eats a limited number of small no
dents, and as carrion feeder it does
additional good. The maybe has,
however. some outstanding faults. II

CPORTS costumes r growing
~ sportier. And street attire get:
more formal. Those are the two
outstanding developments right now
in the realm Of clothes.
Audaeious sweaters liven sports
suits and quite sedate coats and
suits make the street costumes
more conventional.
1t is all a sign of these very
feminine times in which we live,
Once Dame Fashion made up hel
mind to o%bliterate the masculine
boyish form, she determined to 60
the whole way and create styles
definitely that would let a woman
change her mind, her clothes and
her personality as many times as
she wanted. q
Modernistic sweaters and frocks
that have signs of the Zodiac on
them for decoration are the two
new stylish facts in sports wear.
The frocks have Zodiac signs for
each month of the year and one
picks her birthday month to be sure
to have luck. Sometimes the belts
with these frocks are in gold or
silver with all the signs of the To-
diac worked out deliberately around
them.
Wide Range of Sweaters
The modernistic sweaters seem
TO be slated for more popularity.
Daring indeed are they in their
color combinations and their oddi-
ties. They range from the soft all
wool types TO soft. lacy ones in
Tastel colors that call for a finely
pleated pastel satin skirt.
The sports sweaters that have. at
tracted the most attention are those
that have their modernistic designs
wove right into them. Others
have appliqued colors celebrating
these designs. All colors, however,
are toned to fade into each other,
the design furnishing enough nov
city without having too much con-
tFasting color to smite the eye.
Soft grays merge into silver,
blues range from dark to sky blue
and then there are some such color
schemes as chocolate, beige and
gray. or dark green, pink and blue.
one outstanding feature Of these
sweaters is that the sleeves will
sometimes be Of different colors,
ore dark, the other very light

The Art contest is the first of
its kind to be held in Northeastern

teach Art appreciation. The chill
dren in the grades have learned a
great deal about the thirty master
pieces on the list.
1t has often been said that the
works of art of a country n it's

have an educational value of great
Importance.
When we consider that the
greatest pictures are usually by
men and women who have felt
most deeply the beautiful in the
many forms that is exists about

the power of art is so everlasting.
