PART FABRIC, PART
KNIT NEW FORMULA
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

College girl, here's your cue to
smartness in dress this fall. Which
is to the effect that the sweater and
the cloth skirt in accurate color
match is a fashion "must" this COM
ing season. So there's lots of fun
ahead matching a sweater knit of
shetland, cashmere or angora wool
to the skirt of patterned tweed, or if
you prefer, a monotone wool of plain
or novelty weave. Your choice runs
from rich dark autumn tones to the
now-so-fashionable pastel colors.
Then there are those amazing
three-piece ensembles that employ
the identical yarn employed in knit
ting the sweater, as is used for
weaving the cloth for jacket and
skirt. There's no-end chic in the
costumes of cloth that have short
fur jackets with sleeves and bor-
derings, knit of yarn in colors that
tune to the scheme of things.

Blind Staggers' Among
Summer Horse Ailments

Hot weather is the time when the
horse disease encephalomyelitis,
sometimes called "blind staggers,"
''brain fever" or Sleeping sick
ness" is most likely to appear, says
DR.. r. A. Craig, head of Purdue's
veterinary department. The disease
affects the nervous system of horses
and mules. In recent years, es-
pecially during the summer months,
it has caused serious losses in the
West, Middle West, and several
states along the Atlantic coast, but
may strike anywhere.
It is an infectious disease and the
symptoms generally occur in three
phases. The first stage may escape
notice as it usually is only a mild
indisposition commonly accompa-
MED with rise in temperature. The
second stage is characterized by
distinct nervous symptoms WHICH
may or may not be accompanied
with fever. In the last stage the
horse may 60 down and be unable
to rise, sometimes thrashing vio-
lently with the legs and head. Death
usually follows when these symp-
toms develop.
Encephalomyelitis may be easily
confused with other diseases, Doc
tor Craig points out. The symptoms
are similar to other ailments Of the
central nervous system, and vet
erinarian should be called at the
first indication of sickness. Although
the chances for cure are greatest
in the early stages of the disease,
there is no remedy effective in all
cases.

DERHAPS you, the public,
Il hadn't realized it, but you
have been staying away from
the movies in such stupendous
numbers that the motion pic
ture industry is about to spend
$1,000,0 900 to lure you back into
the theaters again.
Producers, distributors and thea
ter men will put up the money. And
you will get $25O,0O0 of it, my
friends. There will be a contest.
At present, although the rules have
not yet been decided on, it seems
likely that this contest will be in the
form of a QUESTIONABLE based on
pictures released between now and
October 81.
Booklets containing rules will be
issued only at theater box-offices.
Each contestant will have to answer
80 questions about 80 different pic
lures in order to qualify.
Half of that 81 100000 will be spent
on advertising in newspapers and
magazines.
Fredric March is going to try,
try again-and if he fails this time,
no doubt he'll keep on trying-to
make a comeback on the stage.

Poultry authorities agree that ade-
quate range, shade, and green feed
are three essentials for well-man-
aged fiocks during the hot summer
months.
When growers are ready to mar.
ket their birds, those who have been
careful to observe these essentials
will find they have been well paid
for their efforts.
Where home-mixed rations for
pullets are used, the following grow
ing mash is recommended: 35
pounds No. yellow corn meal, 20
pounds standard wheat middlings,
20 pounds No. 2 heavy oats finely
pulverized, IL pounds standard
wheat bran, 4 pounds fish meal (55
per cent protein), 2 pounds meat
meal (55 per cent protein), 2
pounds dried skim milk, 2 pounds
ground limestone or oyster shell, 2
pounds bone meal, and one pound
iodized table salt.
Farmers having an adequate sup
ply Of milk may omit the dried
milk recommended in the above
ration. Because it is valuable
food, milk should be given to poul-
try in some form.
However, when fed as a liquid,
it should be placed in clean, easily
accessible containers. Surplus milk
should not be allowed to remain
in the containers since it attracts
flies.
Plenty of water should be avail
able at all times. If possible, it
should be kept in a shady place.
Along with the mash, birds should
have all the grain they will eat each
morning.

OF course, the populace loved this
method of trial. They always went
to court in the utmost excitement,
because they never knew whether
they were to witness fierce death
or overwhelming happiness.
Lover Brought to "Trial."
Now this king had daughter who
was the apple of her fathers eye.
But the princess had an eye for the
youths of the court. One of them
was especially handsome, and the
princess and this commoner had a
love affair. All went along well I'M
til the king heard of it. Then the
youth was brought to trial, to de-
termine whether he was guilty or
not in daring to love a princess of
royal blood.
The day came. The tiers Of seats
were filled to the top row of the
arena. The whole city knew of
the royal love affair and every one
had come to see the trial.
Presently the door opened into the
arena and the youth walked into the
vast circle. All the spectators
sighed, for he was indeed a hand
some young man and worthy of a
princess affection. He looked quick
" toward the royal box, caught the
eye of the princess and knew in the
flash of an eye that she knew which
door led to the tiger and which to
the lady. He waited for some sign.
With an impatient gesture, imper-
ceptible except to the eyes of her
lover, the princess brushed her right
hand toward the right.
What Happened?
With no faltering, the youth
walked toward the right door and
opened it. The decision of the prin-
cess was given to her lover swiftly
and with no indecision.
But it had not been reached so
easily. Night after night she had
awakened hearing the sounds of his
shrieks when the tiger hurled him.
self through the air upon his victim.
But night after night she had been
agonized with jealousy and despair
when she thought of her lover wed
to another woman. Anger and rage
would descend to tear her very soul.
So the princess had endured great
agony of mind to reach her decision
Frank Stockton, author of this
story, finishes his narrative thus
"The question of her decision is one
not to be lightly considered, and il
is not for me to presume to set ur
myself as the one person able to an.

Which came out of the opened door

crochet cotton used to make the
sweater. You'll love this band
and-bow trimming the more you
wear your sweater.
The jacket-like sweater blouse
above to the left has that air of
sophisticated simplicity about it
that every woman versed in the art
of smart costuming covets. It is
knit of knit-cro-sheen in an open
work stitch interspersed with solid
blocks that gives sort of plaided
effect. This sweater is the type that
looks just as well when you remove
your jacket as it does with the
jacket on. Make it up in one of
the lovely new muted colors and
you will find it an indispensable and
f1attering accessory. The square
neck line is high-style feature. So,
also are the crochet buttons UP the
front. Most fashion reports have
much to say in regard to the fair
for buttons running to larger rather
than small this season.
With word emanating from Paris
that cts year for sweaters in

headline attention. Variety in car
digan styles is the new mandate,
but it must be variety without fus-
siness." A cardigan type that en-

below. It is knit and crocheted of
lustrous mercerized cotton. Work
it up in a contrast of your two
favorite colors.

Storing Eggs

Chopping dollars off the yearly
food bill isn't so very hard, if you
know the shortcuts, says the New
York State College Of Home Eco
nomics. For instance, large part
of the money spent yearly for
eggs can be saved, if quantities Of
eggs are bought when prices are
lower, and stored in waterglass for
later use. Absolutely fresh eggs
stored this way keep their flavor,
whip well, and can be satisfactorily
cooked in almost every way.

Feeding the Pigs

If you feed your pigs too many
peanuts or soybeans, you haul soft
pork to market and are penalized
two cents a pound, says the Coun-
try Home Magazine. Packers know
there is not much bacon left after
soft pork is fried. But peanut-fed
hog can be finished off with corn.
The soybean-fed hog can be saved
from disgrace if the oil is first ex-
tracted from the beans. The beans
should be fed as meal along with
a regular balanced ration. Then
there is less loss between the pack
ing house and the dinner table, and
less fat in the skillet.

JIM MY FORK RATED AS B.B.
 MAN OF YEAR
Boston S First Baseman ls Given Honors for
 lQ30 Season
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. Baseball's Man Of The Year-the burly double-X guy, James Emory Foxx.
 Apple Jimmy, who noSe- dived under a sinus attack last year to his poorest performance in q dozen years of major-l league play, has gobbled the all-round hitting honors of the season.
 The Boston Red Sox first-base man set the pace in runs batted in, with 174, led in batting averages with .349 and pushed Hank Green berg closely in the home run derby, with 50.
 His constant heavy cannonading pushed the Red SoX up from their fifth-place slot of the 1887 cam paign into a second position duel with the strongly-liked Cleveland Indians
 JimmyS comeback was one of the surprises of the season. The plump cigar-smoker from Sudlers- vile, Md, is no spring chicken, as baseball poultry goes. He's 31 and chap who has lived at a pretty fast clip. Some of the wise boys were readying his obituary last fall, after Foxx slumped to mere .285 hitting mark.
 Sinus had him in its grip. At times he could hardly see the ball as 1t sizzled toward the plate. Only two players struck out more often than did he. Baseball had seen many hit ters slough off permanently after sinus struck them and, they were saying, Jimmy's probably another.
 Jimmy read the handwriting on the wall, too, but he wouldn't be- lieve 1t. He took himself in hand during the winter, got into top shape and when the barrier was sprung this year Jimmy was new man.
 He led the league in hitting and runs batted in during most of the season. While others flared and fal- etASN' Y OAh hNpO ulJ d COIlSlS lEliL bombardment.

 This year he equalled his record of 1883 when he led the league at bat with 1856 figure, and in runs batted in, with 163. His batting average is close to his mark of five years apo and he has driven i,, eve,, more runs. Foxx led in runs batted in on another occasion, too, in 1892 with 169.
 While Greenberg's home run slug ging has been outstanding, Foxx is far ahead in batting average and runs batted in and not far behind Hankus Pankus in the four-base clouts
