The better makers so carefully balance the parts of the new type coats that the wearer hardly knows that he has one on. Smart double breasteds are easily recognized by the additional length of the coat. Three-button single breasted dressed men. These are in smooth fitting models of which the young man who admires distinction will approve.
 Wing lapels are very smart on single breasted sack coats. Coats will be longer in order to add height to the male figure.
 High style items are outside cash flaps. duplex pockets. high rise trousers. Franklin stitching and the talon closure. Mems cloth- ing remains versatile. The mixed ensemble will prove as fashionable this season as last.
 Appearance has always played an important part in determining a mans success and today Is more vital than it has ever been. Fabrics made In the new free style are themodern designers answer to ne- cessity for good appearance and unhampered comfort.

A farmer might get a better

It will take thirteen years to
finish it and total cost may reach
above $17OO0O0OO. The present
phase of the building should be
completed in 1887.
CONTRASTING with the wood
~ ed cliffs Of the Bonneville sec
ton, the Coulee Dam is in the
midst of a barren, almost desolate
part of the Eastern Washington
Plateau. 1t is 100 miles from the
nearest real town.
So building roads, a town for
workmen, and establishing a post
office called Coulee Dam we're
just part Of the preparation. Three
schools, two newspaper plants,
and a church have already been
built.
If the development proceeds as
expected, this should some day
become a permanent city, as in
dustires and farmers begin to be
attracted to the region by cheap
electric power.
The Coulee Dam is expected to
be able to generate power cheaper
than any other site in the world.

for families and livestock, now are
completely dry.
Soil experts of the agriculture
department estimate that it will
take years for the subsoil to re-
cover its moisture in certain parts
of the middle west. Some of the
land, they think, may never be re-
claimable, due to the fact that the
wind has Scooped the dry topsoil
up in dust storms and unloaded it
in places least appreciated.
A S a result of these studies, the
l. n administration is working out
a drought rehabilitation program,
which although not yet complete,
is taking four general lines.
1. Conversion of large areas of
wheat land to pasturage. This
would curtail erosion, cut down
dust-storms, create better soil
surface for holding moisture.
2. Instill a system of reser-
voirS.
3. Transplant families to areas
enjoying better rainfall.
4. Break prairie winds by the
erection of the Presidents shelter
belt. This also would help to re-
tain moisture.
Administration experts admit
frankly that much of that vast,
arid corridor running down
through the Dakotas, western
Nebraska, western Kansas to the
gulf, never should have been
homesteaded. They have been
consistent in this view. AS far
back as 1873 the Geological Survey
reported that no part of this area
could be "cultivated."
One solution, therefore, is emf
gration-the moving of entire
blocks of families-through the
help of subsistence homesteads-
tc more arabic land.
But the original homesteaders
of the west come from pioneer
stock. In the early days they
fought Indians, wolves, the buff
falo. Now they fight drought,
cyclones, sub-zero weather. They
were born fighting and they vii,
die fighting.
And so far not many have
shown any intention Of leaving
their arid acres.

Devils lake shows the extent to
which all water in the great
northwest has deserted the sub
soil. Gradually the lake is dis
appearing. Once a sizeable body

losing go per cent of its volume.
This illustrates what has hap

crop.
Ordinarily the Dakotas, western
Nebraska and Kansas get only
from ten to fifteen inches OF rain

diversified farming, but in a nom
drought year it is sufficient to
permit a good crop of wheat,

DROVERBS about the weather can be divided into
two classes. Those that trustworthy and
those that are not The trick is to know which
proverb to trust.
Weather can often be forecast short time ahead
from the observation of clouds This is natural since
the height, extent and shape of clouds depend upoF
the temperature, the humidity and the air currents.
AS a result many weather proverbs have grown
up which are based upon observation OF the clouds.
These fairly accurate and usually to be trusted.
One of these states: THE higher the clouds, the
finer the weather"
1t is a fact that when thin cirrus clouds are OBJ
served and these clouds do not appear to be grow
ing any thicker, that fair weather be expected
for the next tWenty-four hours.
On the other hand when the cirrus clouds grow
thicker and develop into heavier types of clouds rain
may be expected within twenty-four hours
The cirrus clouds tiny wsps of cloud which
are frequently seen very high in the sky. One form
of cirrus cloud is known popularity mares tails.
When cirrus clouds begin to hcken they develop into
small rounded masses of clouds known GIRO
cumulus clouds A sky filled with these clouds is
popularity known as "mackerel sky"
A old weather proverb recognized the fact that
"A mackerel sky may bring rain. 1t says
Mackerel scales and mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails
The fact that large cumulus clouds, great puffy
oillowy clouds precede thunderstorm are noted in
proverb which goes:
"In the morning mountains,
In the evening fountains"
A fair day usually follows if fog clears up early
in the morning. But if the fog hangs on, rain
usually will follow. This is implied in the proyerb
which says:
"Msts dispensing the plain
Scatter away the clouds and rain;
But when they hang on the mountain tops
They'll soon descend in copous drops"
Another weather proverb which is pretty accurate
goes as follows:
Evening red and morning gray,
Help the traveller on his way.
Evening gray and morning red,
Bring down rain upon his head"
THE significance of the color of sunrise or sunset
Il comes from the following facts
When the sun reddens the western sky at set
ting it means that there are no clouds for a long
distance in the west. Since stormy weather usually
sets in from the st, this indicates clear weather.
However, the O site signs indicate clouds TO the
west and clear = her TO the east This means
that rainy weaths robably is moving in from the
west.
One class Of " Their proverbs to beware OF
those which atten1 to connect weather with the
moon. good prov,rb to remember in this connec-
ton, says:
The moon and the weather
May change together
But change in the moon
Won't change the weather.
This proverb is quite correct. The moon goes
through its phase regularly month after month.
Weather is continuously changing from fair to
stormy and back fair 1t is obvious that there viii
