PARIS COPIES CROWN JEWEL
 COLOR TONES
By ALICE MAXWELL

PARIS, April 27.-Stealing colors from crown jewels is the latest de- velopment in Paris style piracy. The glowing tones of emeralds, ru- bies and sapphires are being lift ed' to color evening fabrics and highlight day prints.
 Crinkly taffeta the shade of pale yellow diamonds makes tight-skirt- ed evening gowns with bustle- draped backs. Emerald tulle spreads out into pigeon fan-tail pleats for flared dance frocks. Sapphire chif- ion folds under in harem hems. And ruby faille widens out into stiff gadgets.
 The white gems. too. find express sion in snowy laces and glistening satins. Heavy white crepes drape softly while white organdies and muslins flare starchily. White also flourishes in grosgrain coats, shan tung suits and linen frocks.
 The entire range of jewel colors is spattered over white or black grounds-in lowered prints or dot ted and striped patterns.
 Reds and blues divide honors in flowers on hats. join in leath- CTS for belts and shoes and com bine in braids which make curly cues for coats and jackets.
 Amber and the tawny shades of the tortoise shell are favorites for wool costumes. Light browns of the cinnamon type and a copper shade called "chaudron" make smart spring tailurs. Many of them are pencil-striped in white

the whole plan, by accepting an over

At the last minute Sylvia sent Lucinda
off to Uncle Nor's alone. on the plea
that there was an especially good
party at home and she could spend
the night with Janey Warner.
Sylvia had determined to make
Peter Roy run away with her
elope across the state line of course.
What was more natural than to 60

never heard of him. And Mother

Sylvia hadn't examined into her
mind too closely to see why this rather
complicated and difficult plan seemed
such a good idea. She had never ad-
mitted to herself how badly Tommy's
words had stung her pride. Peter

Sylvia's faith in her charms was not
without reason. Never. in all her

her when she chose to smile. And she
did smile, a naughty smile, as she
reached for the phone and gave the
number to the operator.
''Mr. Roy? Peter. this is Sylvia >.

He was grinning as usual. but his
squinted eyes searched Sylvia's face
closely almost anxiously. did your

Sylvia led the way into the living
room and pointed to chair. She her
self went to the couch. She had
arranged the bridge lamp. AS she lay

and graceful young body.
Peter didn't take the chair. As she

To seek the palace garden cool and shady,
And there he overheard butterfly
Magnioquently boastng to his lady.
The little creature Dragged, eff should care
To stamp my foot with purpose and decision, -
These golden domes would melt in empty air,
This lovely garden vanish like vision!'
"Ho, Butterfly, come hither!' cried the king
The insect trembled on the royal digit.
'How dared you tell your lady such thing"
The monarch growled, you lying little midget''
The tiny culprit hung his humbled head,
But answered, bushing like ripe persimmon,
''Now King you know, eminenty wed,
We haze to swagger to impress these women
"Go, little FRIEND" the laughing king replied.
"'Tis true, husbands cannot be quite candid"
The butterfly rejoined his watchful bride;
"What did he say to your" the bride demanded.
"Ill tell you, dearest" said the little scamp,
"Although twas confidential and shouldn't:

TOBACCO PLANTING

plants already set to give them good
start toward maturity growth.
The crop appears to be getting off
to a good start with conditions rea-
sonably favorable, SO far as the
weather is concerned.
There is much talk of smaller
crop than was at one time anticipat-
ed, due largely to a smaller supply
Of plants, reduced by the prevalence
of blue mold, which is now prevalent
in the county after ravaging seedbeds
in Eastern North Carolina the border
territory and in Georgia. It is not now
believed that a shortage of plants will
seriously curtail planting, although
the general belief appears to be that
the result will be a crop no larger
than last year. And that goes for the
generally, so far as could be learned
All Of which is expected to put the
farmer in good position to realize sat
isfactory prices from the years crop,
unless there are hindrances from this
time on.
E. G.. Moss, in charge of the State
Extension Service tobacco experiment
farm at Oxford, was quoted in an OBJ
servation a few days ago as saying
"blue mold of tobacco at present is
worse than it has been any time dur
ing the season in Granville and adj
joining counties" He said a survey
of the area showed that "from rs to
so percent of the plants are being
killed in lots of the beds.'
''The disease is becoming serious
in many of the Virginia counties and
has been reported from practically
every section in the flue-cured belt"
Mr. Moss said. There has been little
blue mold reported from the hurley
section in the western part of the
State, especially east of the noun
tains. Although the attack is very Sc
rious, it is possible the growers will
put out almost their acreage in the
middle and old belts. However, this
would not have been possible if the
growers had not anticipated the at
tack and planted from two to three
times as much plant land as normal.
AS result, they can lose fifty pre-
cent of their plants in the bed and
then plant their acreage"
Moss said the crop this year would
be about two weeks late, (which in
most cases will affect the quality adj

found on a number of farms in For
syth, Guilford, Davidson, Alamance
and adjacent counties. DR.. Shaw the
disease is first noticed in late June
or in July when groups of plants in
localized areas of field show decay
at the soil line. The plants wilt rapid
ly and eventually most of them die
before they can be harvested. Usually
losses are not so heavy during the
first year the disease appears in a
field, but, if tobacco is planted in that

disease almost wipes out the crop.
A system of crop rotation and sani-
