Trade Pigs for Fashion
Tips in the South Seas

Philadelphia.-The value of new
fashion designs and new tribal
songs is measured in terms Of pigs
and other foodstuffs by the natives
of the South seas, according to DR..
Margaret Mead, who recently re-
turned from a 22-month research
among primitive tribes.
With her husband, DR.. r. f. For
tune. of Columbia university, Doc
tor Mead travelled extensively
among the primitive mountain
dwellers in New Guinea, a mandate
of Australia, formerly known as
Kaiser Wilhelm's Land.
The inland tribes, Doctor Mead
said, surrender their food supplies
in return for latest fashion ideas
and songs. Communication between
the tribes, however, is irregular,
she said, and so slowly does a fash
ion travel that it may take as long
as five years for it to cover the 20
miles from the sea to the mountains.
Doctor Mead is assistant curator
of ethnology of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History.

look every inch like crowned queens,
1t Is not only that women of grande
dame mien and dignity are enhanc-
ing their formal coiffures with
corOnets of gold and silver set with
jewels, for the fashion of topping
ones coiffed tresses with jeweled
headpieces prevails among the de-
butante set as well.
The youthful lady in the fore
ground of our illustration is wear
ing a tiara of rhinestones styled in
the form of curled feathers. The
rhinestone clips at the shoulders of
her Zlnnia orange velvet dress are
exactly alike. Her gorgeous glitter
ing bracelets reiterate the idea of
duplicate or twin effects.
Diamonds, ermine and velvet form
a trio of elegance for the costume
posed on the figure standing. The
fiattering neckline for this very ele-
CANT velvet gown Is the perfect foil
for a dellcately and artfully de-
signed white and brown diamond
brooch. This unusual alliance is
repeated in the ring while the brace
let Is of white diamonds.
To the left in the picture, a long
triple strand of pearls with side or
naments lessons the severity of the
high neckline of powder blue
crepe evening dress. A pearl and
rhinestone bracelet on either wrist
and large pearl ring complete the
jewelry ensemble. This longer
necklace carries an important mes
sage. The better shops are show
ing strands anywhere from twen-
ty-four to as much as sixty inches
in length of pearls and jewels with
the foreword that they are fash
ions latest-to be worn with the
new high necklines.

Seek Serum for Plague
Injecting Farm Horses

Unusually numerous cases of in
fectious equine encephalomyelltis,
sometimes enormously called sleep
Ing sickness, have been reported to
the United States Department of
Agriculture in recent months. The
malady which affects the brain and
spinal cord OF horses and mules Is
not a new disease, the department
points out. Studies of recent out
breaks. In Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia, show that the disease is
the same as the condition common
ly termed forage poisoning"
"staggers," Kansas Nebraska horse
plague" and "cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts" The disease sometimes goes
by still other names.
Intensive studies by the depart
ment show that the disease is of
an infectious nature and is caused
by an invisible virus. This virus
produces a disease which is very
similar to one reported several years
ago in California and which has oc-
CURED also in other states west of
the Mississippi, However, it has
been found that the eastern virus
possesses certain distinct charac-
teristics different from the virus
causing the western disease. The
efficacy of serum against the disease
has been questioned and laboratory
experimentation is in progress.

Grain for Dairy Animals

The right amount of grain to feed
dairy animals during the winter
months depends upon the amount of
milk the animal is producing and
to a lesser extent upon the breed,
according to one authority. With
Jersey animals producing less than
ten pounds Of milk no grain should
be fed. Where the production Is
above ten pounds six-tenths of a
pound Of grain should be added to
the ration for each pound of milk
produced in excess of the ten
pounds. The grain supplement is
reduced about one-tenth from this
amount for Guernseys producing
more than u pounds day, and one
fourth for HOlsteins producing 16
pounds a day. The grain ration Of
course Is dependent upon a plentiful
supply of good legume hay, other
wise the grain ration will have to
be increased.

FANCY MAY WANDER
AMONG SOFT COLORS

Coat woolens are mostly downy
or hairy or satin finished or of very
rough stuff. Dressy coats Of velvet,
stiff silk and quilted taffeta and
slipper satin, warmly interlined
and heavily trimmed with fur, are
new In coat fashions. Velveteen
coats are shown by Louiseboulanger
and some of the others.
A coat by Augustabernard that
has been imported to America Is
made Of downy woolen. 1t is a
straight coat with turnover cloth
collar and a jacket body and puff
sleeves of sealskin. This jacket
body does not meet in front, but
leaves a band of the cloth coat
showing in the center. A cloth half
belt is placed at the waistline.

FASHION Is definitely in a mood
for jewelry. The first thing that
strikes you about the newer fashion
is the conspicuous presence of wide
bracelets together with huge match
ing clips or brooches, likewise ear
rings and other gadgets equally as
decorative and chic. The fascinat-
ing thing about new jewelry is that
each type plays up perfectly to the
individuality of the costume with
which it is worn.
SO characteristic Is this modern
jewelry and so convincingly does 1t
carry the message of having been
designed to complement the right
costume at the right time, one
senses It's mission at a glance. For
instance, you do not have to be
told that a massive bracelet of mug
getty looking gold with a huge
matching clip will set your bright
wooden daytime frock off to a high
point of distinction.
You feel the same way in regard
to the swagger broad bracelets of
green or some other color compost
ton. In their modernistic angles
and squares and sharp lines they
carry a sort of tailor-made look
about them which makes you feel
they will be in perfect complement
with the sportsy cruise frocks,
sweaters and suits which you are
adding to your wardrobe. And
when you are told that you can
have these composition bracelets
and pins monogrammed with mono
craft initials at the counter while
you wait, your enthusiasm goes sky
rocketing.
Throughout all fashionably at
tired after eight o'clock assemblages
there is vast showing of sparkling
tiaras which make their wearers

MOntreal.-The Canadian govern
ment has placed approximately 9S,-
900 people on farms throughout the
dominion during the past three
years.
Since Inauguration of its "backto-

Hitler to Make Propagan-
da of Great Spectacle.

London.-The Nazi government
not only will permit the famous
passion play 10 be held in 1884 at
Oberammergau without attempt to
"Aryanize" 1t, but will use the
greatest of all religious spectacles
as an instrument to show the world
that Germany Is not a nation or
intolerance and persecution, says
the Chicago Herald Examiner.
Ever since Adolph Hitler came TO
power. the fate of the Passion play
has been in doubt. In line with the
Hitler policy to revise the Bible.
rule the church and make the state
pre-eminently Aryan, It was be-
lieyed that the Passion play would
either be abolished or perhaps cen
s0red.
Now the Nazi chiefs, smarting un-
der world condemnation for their
persecution of the Jews and other
anti-religious demonstrations. have
completely reversed their attitude
toward the Passion play.

HUEY SERIOUS
On RACE FOR
PRESIDENCY
Ry FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN g. SAkTWELL
A few weeks ago no one in
Washington would have believed
it, but 9uey Long, the spare
quarterback of the varsity team
of Louisiana State University,
seems to be taking himself seri-
ouSly as a candidate for Presi.
dent of the United States in 1896
Whether the seriousness with
which the Louisiana Senator views
his aSpir ationS is attributable to
his success in making seven-dollar
loans to the individual students
of the University or to the man
ner in which he forced the Louis
lana legislature to pass A rev
olutionary bills in almost as many
minutes is not made clear in the
dispatches which tell Of his con
viction that he has become the
man of the hour
His Own Idea
The battle-scarred veteran of
Sands Point and the bloodless
battle of New Orleans believes,
according to the stories coming
out of Louisiana, that he would
make the kind of President
his country needs"
That may be the way the
Senator looks at the thing, but
none of the hard-boiled politicians
in this Mecca of the politically
minded seem to share his views.
Even the rather startling meas,
ures which the Senator, known
variously as Every Man A King"
and the Great Retreater," forced
through his home legislature are
not regarded as sufficiently ap'
pealing to the body polite to lift
the Kingfish out of the Louisiana
cane brakes and into the White
House.
Signed by 20. X"
The measures have, of course,
been signed by his quiescent gov
ernor, Mr.. Allen, who bears the
very appropriate initials 20. X
Washington feels that these
bills are largely a matter for peo
pie of Louisiana to worry about
and it is convinced that sooner OF
later those folks will start to
worry. In fact, some of them al,
ready have developed a wrinkle
or two about the whole Long stu.
