greater advantage than an ordinary
trunk or other household receptacle

insecticidal value. The aroma of the

Costs Exactly $777 to
Become Belgian Baror,

Brussels.-It costs exactly $177, or
$1,000 Belgian francs, to become a
baron of the kingdom of Belgium. And
there is no record as yet Of any per-
son having refused the title because II
cost too much.
King Albert confers from three to
five titles of nobility every year, most
ly to elderly gentlemen of great merit.
In most cases the title Of baron is con.
ferred and only in exceptional cases
is 1t hereditary title. So the number
Of noblemen Is not much increased
by the kings annual distribution Of
titles, as the holders and their wives
usually are too aged to enjoy II for
long time. and their children do
not benefit from It at all.
The expenses of becoming baron
are rather high, because the state lev

a title costs $3.50 The title of baron

Then followed trials at the parallel

MODERN OVERALLS
FOR SMALL BOYS
Youngster Needs Practical
Playsuit for Warm Days.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The small boy should come In for
his share of attention in the summer
sewing. He will have need for just
as many sun suits, rompers, and other
washable garments as his sister and
many of these can easily be made at
home at moderate cost. Here is sun
suit which might be called "modern
overall" The old type of overall used
to be made of coarse thick drilling
with trousers reaching to the ankles.
It not only made child's legs hot,
but made them dirty by tanning dust
and grit up from the ground. 1t was
clumsy and difficult to launder and
unattractive when worn. The modern
version of the overall serves the same
purpose-a comfortable, practical
play suit for warm days-but 1t is
cool and light and planned for the
greatest possible freedom Of move
ment and exposure of skin surface
to the heaithgiving rays of the sun.
1t is gay and bright in color, appealing
to any child, especially to boy, and
easily washed and ironed.

the United States Department of Ag-

sun suits for children, including this
one of cretonne, which is particularly
intended to meet youthfully masculine
