crop Control.

The 1898 agricultural : conserva-
ton program is aimed directly at
soil conservation, with as much
cash-crop control as is possible un-
der provisions of the AAA as it now
stands.
Farmers complying with the pro-
gram will need to carry out half
again as many soil-building prac-
tees as in 1887, said E. Y. Floyd, Of
State College, in announcing the
program for next year.
But these practices will be those
which any farmer interested in con-
serving his soil will be glad to fol-
low, he added.
A great effort will be made to re-
gulate the acreage of soil-depleting
crops by providing for heavier de-
auctions from the payments of
growers who exceed their "soil-de-
pleting goals" Floyd stated.
If growers desire a greater degree
of production control, he continued,
it will have to be secured through
legislation in addition to the present
agricultural conservation act.
In the 1888 program, he went on,
goals will be set up for the option
acreages of soil-depleting crops and
practices for each farm.
Goals for depicting crops will be
the acreages which would usually
be required to supply the demand at
a price fair to both the producer and
the consumer. The national and
state goals will be subdivided into
county and individual farm goals.
Soil-building will include the
crops and practices needed to re-
store and maintain the soil resour-
ces of the land.
Separate goals will be prescribed
for cotton, tobacco, peanuts and po-
tatoes if majority of the potato
growers vote to have this crop inclu-
ded. There will also be goals for
general depicting crops.
Privisions for commercial vege-
tables, commercial orchards, and
non-crop pasture land will be about
the same as in 1887.
The program will be administered
through state, county and communi-
ty committees composed of farmers,
with supervision of an advisory ma
ture given by AAA and extension
extension service workers.
At the beginning of the crop year,
the maximum amount of payment a
grower will be able to earn will be
calculated. Attainment of the soil
depicting and the soil-building goals
for his farm will then be set as con-
ditions for the full payment of that
amount.
In determining the soil-depleting
goal for farm, the committeeman
will consider the acreage of crops
usually grown, acreage of food and
feed crops needed for home use,
good soil management, tillable acre
age on the farm, type of soil, topo-
graphy, production facilities, and

Continued Rise in Buying
Power Puts Emphasis
on Quality.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, September 20-The
continuing uptrend in individual pur-
chasing power should prove adequate
to maintain wearing apparel sales at
profitable levels and to absorb rising
labor and material costs over the next
several months, according to Poor's
Industry and Investment Surveys.
With individual consumer income
still moving upward, the average Gus
toner Is becoming less price con-
scious, and once more favors better
quality apparel.
Rising labor and material costs are
inevitably forcing price mark-ups in
most lines of clothing and accessories"
states the analysis. Consequently
the problem Of gradual consumer re-
sistance to higher prices tends to
cloud the more distant business hor-
izon for both manufacturing and mer-
chandising divisions of the apparel
industry. In general, however, indi-
cations point 10 full year 1887 profits
somewhat above the 1896 levels. 1t
seems likely, moreover, that propor-
tionately greater gains may be ex-
pected for those companies specializing
IN quality products and catering to
consumers in the higher income
brackets.
Those manufacturers of mems
shirts and underwear who maintain
their quality regulations will benefit
most from currently expanding sales.
The silk hosiery division faces long
term declining trend owing to the in
creasing competition from rayon and
from mercerized materials, but this
has been temporarily offset as a result
OF rising consumer purchasing power.
Companies engaged in the processing
OF fur are particularly well situated
to reap the benefit of luxury demand
and sre enjoying continued improve
ment"

Before leaving your mirror, be
sure to remember the promise
about leaving a clean line" for
it is one of the stern beauty
requisites for makeup. Of course
it must be a magnifying mirror,
for that is your greatest aid in
creating this perfect line for eye
brows, and lips as well.
Eye shadows, strangely enough,
look better on light-haired girls
than on medium brunetteS, al
though the girl with dusky tresseS
ana dark eyes can always use
them with ravishing results.
COLOR SCHEME
Sometimes the color of the
eyea seems to change, reflecting
the color of their surroundings to
a degree.
At any rate, rouge, when daintily
applied, seems to make the eyes
deeper in color. whatever that
color may be. Then the color OF
the hat, the accessories, and the
frock itself, influence eye color
noticeably.
II is fine to have a well-organ-
ized color sense. and if not, to de-
velop one.
There has been change of
heart about the thin eyebrow.
That line of tiny hairs, about the
width of a whisp of tinsel thread,
is no longer so popular.
The natural eyebrow line, with
all the scattered hairs plucked
away to make it perfect, is the
beauty dictate of the moment.
There is a reason for this, and
good one. When this line is
exaggerated in its thinness, the
face takes on vapid, flat, express
sionless appearance. Almost all
eyebrows need a trimming, now
ano then, to keep the natural line
clear and graceful, and in
harmony with the shape of the
eyes.
Perhaps a few suggestions will
be helpful:
There will be less discomfort

COMETHING to keep you warm
~ ON a frigid day, or whenever
you want to wear a coat that is
not quite as warm as the day
demands chamoiS "stormback, :"
which protects you against cold
ness or draughts. and which is
good looking and Wearable be-
cause the chamois is covered over
with satin. 1t IS easily slipped on,
and doesn't show, for it is held
just by straps in front, and they
are tied at the waist. You can
wear it under any style coat, even
under an evening wrap, and it
practically doubles the warmth
of a light wrap. The chamois is
specially treated so that damp
reSs cannot penetrate it, and it
can be cleaned, and will not
shrivel or get stiff. The storm
back" fits nicely, is good looking,
and can be worn with straps, or
can be sewn right into your fav-
orite coat. 1t comes in sizes 1918
and 38-44, and costs but S295. 1t
comes in black, brown or gray.

SMALL WEDDING
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Because of several reasons, my
parents will not attend my we'd
ding ceremony. Therefore 1 am
somewhat at a loss as to how
should go about it. 1t will not be
possible to hold a reception after
ward, and / would like to leave
the city Immediately after the
wedding.
would it be proper to have a
small wedding, and for me to
wear either a suit or travelling
dress? Then / could leave the
church right away.
Would it be better taste to have
only my brothers and my sisters
and my intended husbands par
entS and have none of my
friends? I have many friends
who would like to see me married,
but because of both finances and
family trouble, ! am at a loss to
know what to do"
MARY"
Yes, this will not only be
proper, but will be, under the cir
cumstances. in the best of taste.
Since you are having a church
wedding, even though so informal,
I see no reason why you should
not give yourself the joy of hav-
ing your friends with you at the
ceremony, and of giving them the
joy of being with you.
Since you are having no recep-
ton, the question of finances will
not enter into this plan, since the
church ceremony expenses will be
the same even if you include a
few more guests.
But I think that it would be
best not to make your list too
inclusive. just your very close
friends.

DELAYS VISIT
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"As she is 26 years of age and
could be perfectly taken care of
here-that is, as far as having
a married lady as chaperOne in
the house with her-I can't
understand why she keeps put
ting off her Compromised visit.
1--WE are engaged, but didn't
marry because her parents dis
approved, and I came here to
get a better job, one with more
money and better prospects"
"She promised to come to see
me this summer, but the summer
has gone and she hasn't come,
though I've got many letters
from her saying how much she
wants to come.
"DO you think it too selfish of
me to expect her to come on her
own initiative, even if her pa.
rents are not pleased?
"F. G."
Girls who live at home often
want to go places which are i'm
possible because they just haven't
got the money with which to
travel. And if her parents dis
approve, it's unlikely that they
would give their daughter money
for the trip.
AS you're engaged to this girl,
why not be perfectly frank about
the matter, and ask if that's the
reason keeping her away? I'm
all for frankness about such things

when using the tweezers if hot
water is applied beforehand.
When brushing the eyebrows,
brush them upward. Let them
stay that way at the forward tip,
for it's that way nature grows
them. Then gradually point them
downward in a graceful, arching
curve.
Eyebrows should glisten as a
swallows wing, so add a touch of
mineral oil as it serves a double
purpose, since it is good for the
growth as well.
When applying mascara to the
eyelasheS it is best not to include
the lower fringes. AS you pull
back the upper lid a trifle let the
dainty circlet lie back on the side
OF the finger and apply the brush
upward.
SKILL REQUIRED
To extend the eyebrow line with
a crayon requires more skill than
most girls have to begin with, so
learn a technique that gives a per-
feet line, before approving results.
Elaborate makeup is never good
taste for daytime, for it is sure to
betray itself. But at night it does
help to bring out the color and
luSter of the ewes
Yes, there is that annoying
cluster of tiny lines that begin,
oh, so early, to be seen delicately
tracing their way in fan-shaped
design toward the temples. And
tn ere are pouches - hateful
poucheS-under the eyes that
often mean lack of sleep, over
eating or eyestrain. An astringent
pack, made of white of egg, is
excellent for this skin or tissue
condition, which so often brings
about a trail of beauty woes.
I will be glad to send you my
treatment for eye puffiness, or the
eye treatment, if you wish to have
either. Enclose a stamped, self

The colors and styles are grand

LOVeIOrn
Girls Problem
Is Tough

! Famous Authority on Problems of Love
and Marrid0s)
''Dear Miss Fairfax:
There's no question about it,
the modern girls problems are
tough" We have to decide be-
tween our own self-respect and
popularity, between going to the
suburban movie with mama or
going out with some tough Tom,
Dick or Harry who expects to paw
and kiss us the first time we meet.
81 have tried both and the result
is mental fog. l don't enjoy going
to the suburban movie with mama,
neither do 1 enjoy the rough pet
ting of some crude young man I
hardly know.
"TimeS were easy in Grandma's
day, when her only problem was
getting married. EUNICE."
Your summing up of the prob
lens of the modern girl is only
too true, my dear Eunice. And
from your own observations, you
must see that she doesn't get
along any more successfully by
putting up with the rough stuff,
than she does by going to the
suburban movie with mama.
Not all men behave like gang
sters and imagine that beer-and-a-
hamburger entities them to carry
on like gorillaS.
In picking your men friends,
better watch your step, and appeal
to the few who are worth while,
rather than be popular with the
gorilla mob.

This means that the reception
can probably begin at five. This
gives good margin of time for
your reception before your guests
must depart for their dinner hour.
Choose a color that is especially
becoming to you, one that you
enjoy wearing. Then you might
plan to wear an ensemble, perhaps
one of the fashionable ones with
a matching skirt and jacket, and
a blouse of a lustrouS lame.
A velvet suit, of dark blue or

would be lovely. Or, if you don't

formal afternoon costume, the
groom may appropriately wear

that is roomy enough for all your

with white is stunning indeed.
Add a bit of amber in a necklace
