Dilkusha and Helm, two leading

long, tight sleeves, and skirts reaching

GRAIN AREA AS

Figures on Worlds Cereal
Consumption.
What does the world eat?


It's two thousand millions of popu-
lation managed to consume in 1882,
in one form of another, $4,000, 900.
tons of wheat, 100000 tons Of rye,
51,000,O00 tons of barley. S2000,OOO
tons of oats, 122,O00,000 tons of corn,
105,O00,000 tons of rice.
At any rate, that much was pro-
duced, according to the latest figures
Of the international Institute of Ag-
riculture at Rome, Of which the Unit
ed States is member, which keeps
track of world production.
The statistical picture is carried
through the first half of 1892, when
reports from all over the globe
showed 1,240,046 square miles devot-
ed to the culture of wheat, corn, rye,
barley, oats, rice and minor cereal
crops.
The two billion individuals are
shown to be scattered over an area
of 345,00O,O00 square miles about
five and half persons to the square
mile. Only about one three-hun-
dredth of the total area is devoted
y the production of cereals-a total
Of 1,240,O46 square miles.
The United States had the largest
amount Of land devoted to cereal pro-
duction, a total of 84,125,000 hec-
tares, hectare being approximately
two and half acres. India was a
close second with approximately TO-
100000 hectares.
Asia, with population Of 1872
$4,000, was far in the lead in respect
to population, containing 53 per cent
of all the people on the globe. Eu-
rope, without Russia, had a popula-
tfon of 3SO,5S5,000. Russia's popula-
ton was estimated at 1853, 166, 600, or
just a little below that of North and
Centrfl America, which totaled 1885,
100000. South America trailed the
continents in population, with $685.
600 persons.
The tables show little increase In
the amount of land under cultivation
during the last decade. The land de-
voted to wheat culture has increased
about 100000 hectares over the pc
riod from 1923 TO 1927. but rye, bar
ley and potato acreage has remained
stationary. There has been about q
100000 hectare increase, however.
in the land devoted to corn and q
100000 hectare increase in the rice
area.
BY far the greater part Of the
worlds land remains unplowed, the
figures show, with a great amount of
it not adapted to cultivation under
present conditions. ~

TRIMMING TOUCHES
AID TOTS CLOTHES

Children's clothes can easily be made
more attractive by touches of trim
ming. Bias-trimmed buttonholes, fag-
goting, feather stitching, narrow tucks
and tiny crocheted edges give smart,
handmade look. A good thread in
boilfast eolors should always be used
in sewing on clothes that must stand
a great deal of Tubing and scrubbing.
Buckles are used to fasten most
belts this fall. Large, simple buckles
are put on many sports frocks and
coats. Belts are either of the ma
terial of the costume or Of leather.
These buckles have cleverly concealed
clasps. Most popular types are made
Of composition materials, either plain
or with irregular carving that gives
them messy appearance, in harmony
with similar trend in fabric weaves.

The skirt is of regal black velvet. The
shirtwaist is just what it claims to be
strictly tailored shirtwaist. 1t is
its material which performs the magic

stone buttons down the front. All of
which bespeaks the sumptuousness
which is characteristic of current eve

essary evening luxury.
Sometimes the theme of the formal
shirtwaist is varied in that it is fash
toned Of cleaning satin perhaps in the
new gold color or some other equally
as effective hue. These satin types are
often graced with twists of self-satin
about the neckline or perhaps they de-
velop cowl drape or soft bertha
effect. Their sleeves are also apt to
take liberties in that they are short
and are ingeniously pleated or gath
cred into the armhole.
In the daytime the smart set is GO
ing about in shirtwaist frocks which
are tailored to a nicely of black satin,
observing meticulously the rules of
patch-pockets, waist-length sleeves,
neat belts and prim collars. The
sketch above to the left in the picture
conveys the idea-just the type of
dress to wear under ''comfy" fur coats.

not of black satin or one of the new
ribbed silk variety, then it is almost

CHANGES IN

vaSS of a group of the outstanding
football coaches attending the 18th
annual convention revealed today
that the most popular rules sug-
gestion made in the report of Coach
Harry Kipke, Michigan, concerns
the forward pass in the end zone.
Kipke, chairman of the coaches
committee on rules changes, out
lined seven possible changes to
speed up the offensive. OF the sew
en-, the one which found the most
favor with the coaches was:
"On first, second and third down
permit pass in the end zone to be
ruled incomplete instead of a touch
back"
~Noble Kizer, Purdue, feels that
adoption of this rule by the National
Rules committee which meets in
February would give the offense the
edge over the defense.

Most of the coaches feel that
there is little chance that the rules
committee will make any drastic
pchanges this year. A discussion of
the changes suggested by Kipke was
expected to come up today, with a
