When A Woman Buys A Coat

When putting money into coat
woman usually expects to get several
winters wear out of it and at the same
time wants it to look well. In order to
get quality and lasting looks she must
carefully check materials, workman
ship and points for quality.
The Bureau of Home Economics of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
has listed several of these important
points.
Before shopping the woman should
answer the following questions for
herself:
What type of coat do I need?
Do l want it for dress, general wear,
or sports?
How much can 1 afford to spend for
it?
What color will harmonic best with
by wardrobe?
How many years wear must l get
from this coat?
Which of the current styles is most
becoming to my figure and likely to
last for several seasons?
The type of material determines, to
great extent, the length of wear to
be gotten from the coat. Specific infor-
nation should be given on the tags Of
the coat-such as type and per cent
of wool, colorfastness, wrinkle resis-
tance and shrinkage.
The types of wool usually used are;
Worsteds have long, even ibres,
combed parallel. The weaves are def
mite, smooth, and sturdy. Worsteds
wear exceptionally well, though they
rub shiny with use.
Woolens which make up most of our
coatings, have fbres shorter than in
worsteds, and not combed parallel
The weaves are less definite. Woolens
are warm and usually have attractive
finishes. The better qualities give good
service without wearing shiny.
Poor Quality Wool makes poor quail
ity cloth. The fibres are short and un
even, and are often hidden by mat
ted finish. Such coatings feel harsh,
lifeless, and boardy and will not stand
much wear.
The weave in either worsteds or
woolens should be firm and close with
about as many yarns in one direction
as in the other. The yarns should be
even in size so that wear comes from
them uniformly.

This is said not in disparagement of
Roosevelt but, its sponsors say, is a
simple statement of fact which makes
national unity impossible unless the
national council idea can be imple-
uented. To accept the idea is to accept
the statement of his own futility. As
ne still believes the people are over
whelmingly with him and only the
vicious and misguided dissent, the
likelihood of his doing that is very re-

Old Fort Laramie Proclaimed National Monument

Old Fort Laramie, in Wyoming,
army general headquarters during
the Indian wars on the plains and
longtime capital of the wilderness
west of the Missouri river, has been
proclaimed national monument.
The score of crumbling buildings
that still mark its site at the juno
ton of the Laramie and North
Platte rivers are to be preserved
and restored as memorial to the
dauntless traders and soldiers who
maintained this greatest of all ref
uges along the covered-wagon trail
by means of which the West was
won.
The first known white men to visit
the site were members of the Stuart
party Of the Astorians in the winter
Of 1928. Later it was fur-tradinR
post. In l849 the United States
army purchased Fort Laramie in
order to establish authority over the
streams Of emigrants who were
passing through the fort en- route to
California. BY 1855 the Indian situ-
alton became 20 troublesome that
Fort Laramie was made general
