Midwinter Coats of Charm and Chic
New Style Note Sounded ia
These LaSt-Minute
Sketches.
BY MARIE MARor

4w WA&4GAAG
TUST about this time we're
beginning to feel bored TO
tears with the clothes
which we are wearing. There's
something about the holiday
season that makes everything
seem drab and dowdy, and the
shops. aware of this, are show
ing some Of the smartest things
imaginable.
Particularly do coats seem to
pail about this time, for the coat
Is one garment that certainly
gets more wear than any other.
The best investment I can
think Of for the Christmas check
Is a new coat. Of course, there
may be other more desirable
things, but on the whole, a new
coat certainly seems to bolster
up ones spirits even more than
the proverbial hat.
This is certainly true Of the
coat illustrated at left. Verdi
girls green velour de laine has
been selected to fashion this
charming wrap and the novel
cut certainly does nothing to
detract from its chic.
The high waistline Is accen-
tuated by the tie at the center
front over the vest effect
formed Of the Persian lamb col
lar. The sleeve treatment adj
heres to the dictum for bows in
the smart manner IN which the
fur IS appliqued as a high cuff.
Worn with a matching hat Of
velvet i gives one new strength

the season.
Another inspiration Il he
brown broadcloth coat at right.
A ~sartorial triumph Is achieved
IN the tan lapin collar which
also decided to form a tinv
vest. Intricate seamings mold
the coat closely 10 the figure
However, the high spot Of
achievement is reached in the
tan antelope gloves with high
cuffs Of the fur, which are worn
over the coat cuff, and look to
be really part of the coat. OF
course, one may wear other
gloves, as the coat has a fetch
ing cuff Of the material. but

THE VALUE OF USING ONES
LEISURE TIME.

Many of the students of the high
school do not seem to realize that
proper use of ones leisure time will
be one of his biggest assests in fu-
ture years. Someone has said, "What
we earn while at work, we put into
our pockets, but what we spend dur
ing our leisure time we put into our
character Is this not true? Don't
the things we do in our leisure hours
help to mold our characters? 1t is
up to the individual himself to decide
whether that molding will be strong
or weak.
For those who spend their leisure
ours in doing something worthwhile,
.ust reward will be given. Our high
school furnishes many opportunities
for spending ones leisure time prof
ltably. Glee club, gym, basketball,
parties, and entertainments such as
plays, operettas, and miscellaneous
programs all give us profitable ways
Of spending our leisure hours.
Some may wonder how being in
plays and entertainments of that
kind help mold ones character. Plays,
for instance, do much to develop self
control and deep concentration. Be-
sides, this, we have better command
of speech. We also learn body con-
trol and most of all human under
standing. No life is really worth
while without these assets.
Athletics give us physical training
and teach us teamwork and good
craftsmanship as we'll as giving us
the pleasure of participating in con-
tests.
Glee club does the same for us as
plays. Parties cultivate our manners
and teach US to associate with one
another.
Arc not all these pleasant ways of
using our leisure time? They are,
and at the same time we are mold
ing our characters into the best, which
as important to every boy or girl,
man or woman. This is the result
Of using your leisure hours to the
best advantage. R. L.

SPRING PASTURE
Is NOT HARMFUL.
North Carolina Finds Milk
Is Richer in Butterfat.

It's mostly tradition, and not facts,
that leads many dairymen TO believe
that the quality of milk depreciates
when the cows are turned from the
dry feed of the stable to the succulent
green feed of the pasture.
yet we have few dairymen and
many consumers who believe this,p
says Fred NJ. Haig of the animal hus-
bandry department at the North Car
Dina state college. 1--WE have just
completed a test with nine cows in
the herd here at the college which
shows that instead of the animals CIV
ing q lower quality of milk in the
spring, it is materially richer in but
terfat"
Last winter, Professor Haig select
ed nine cows and fed them cotton
seed hulls as the sole roughage for a
period of ten weeks. No sueculent
feed was given during the period. The
average daily milk production was
POLO pounds testing 464 per cent fat.
The cows were then changed from
the hulls to corn silage and hay and,
after giving time to accustom them
selves to the change, the same data
was again collected. With this feed,
each COW of the nine produced 209.1
pounds of milk per day testing 4.S9
per cent fat.
On May 4, the nine cows were
turned on rich pasture consisting of
green wheat and crimson clover.
Again they were allowed time to adj
just themselves and the data again
collected. The average daily produc-
ton in this case was 212.9 pounds of
milk each day testing 5.37 per cent
fat.
Throughout each of these three
tests, the grain ration remained con-
slant and supplied balanced ration.
However, this shows that silage is bet
ter than the dry feed and q good pas
ture is better than silage. Professor
Haig states that succulent feed is I'M
portant in the dairy business not only
for the maintenance of healthy cows
but also for the amount and quality
of milk produced.
