to color this season for the new
spring modes show a definite trend
toward the use of brighter colors.
With the warm weather the sports
type OF clothes are particularly
popular and the new SlackS ano
sport coats are distinctive, many
featuring plaids as well as the re-
liable plain colors.
Stacks Smart
Stacks and gabardines and tropi-
cal worsteds are suited to the val
ley and are exceptionally smart,
many featuring subdued over
plaiding which fills the desire for
color without being too brazen
about it. Coats go to further ex-
tremes in color and tweeds are ex-
ceptionally smart. One of the IA
vorite coat models is that with
ample shoulder room, the fullness
being gathered into the waist in
half belt.
For the home, which looks bit
dingy after the dull days of VIM
ter, fresh paint, new curtains, and
most of all new furniture make
its appearance harmonize with
spring.
Modern furniture is OF course
the newest trend and is styled
so that it may be used either sing
ly or in combinations. Beautiful!
proportions, simplicity of design
and fine woods, with unusual fin
ishes and colors, such as the blond
mahoganys, characterize this type.
A single piece will do much to
brighten the house and if selected
wisely, new pieces may be added
from time to time, the original
selection serving as the nucleus
for a complete ensemble.

OF special interest to fruit and

placed by the 1887 agricultural
conservation program on a greater
soil-building allowance for soil
building practices which may be
carried out by growers, points out
J. l.. Dubois of Ell Centre, chairman
of the Imperial cuonty agricultural
conservation committee.
Practices include: weed control
planting of windbreaks, with spe-
cial provisions for citrus and de.
ciduous fruit areas of southern Cali
fornia; renovation of orchard lands;
and adding organic matter to or
chards and vineyards.

Iowa Team

IOWA CITY, Jan. 4.-Howard
Jones of Southern California, was
the favorite on the campus today
as a successor to the Iowa coach
ing post left vacant by the resigna-
ton of Ossie Solem.
Action on the selection Of a new
coach will probably be taken at
the athletic boards meeting on
Tuesday or Wednesday. Members
said unofficially they had no one
individual in mind and intended
to survey the entire field of pros
poets before making offers.
Jones, who coached the Iowa
team from 1915 to 1923, has many
friends in town and would be
popular leader for the Hawkeyes.
He still owns a home here, which
may be a factor in inducing him to
return, providing the council is
able to offer large enough salary.
Solem,s agreement with Syra.
cuse, it was understood here, calls
for an $1,000 annual salary for
three years. The contract also in.
cludes an additional tWo-year
option on his services.

losing, 10 to 6, its good will''
game with Southern California

The japanese, representing sew

the fact football has been played

land.
The Americans rammed over
two touchdowns in the first quar-

third quarter after a 71-yard
march.
