A GAIN comes up that ever recur-
IA ring problem-clothes BETTING
fall and winter activities, formal
and informal and for all occasions
in between. Campus doings, the
football series, evening festivities,
motoring, travel, town-wear outfits,
the well-equipped wardrobe must be
built around all these fashion de-
mands. And here's big news! Ev-
eryone of these issues is being met
with fashions in suede.
Every college girl, in fact every
woman who aspires to the best that
fashion has to offer, should reckon,
in fact must reckon, with suede as
one of the factors of high irnpor-
lance in the assembling of a ward
robe. What leather workers, de-
signers and style creators have sue
ceeded in doing with suede deserves
to be classed with the seven won
ders of the world.
Suede has that something about it
that lures you on to indulgence,
especially this season when the hats,
bags, neckwear, belts and countless
other accessories are made of it,
coats and suits tailored of it, day
time one-pieee frocks, the evening
gowns and wraps fashioned of lit,
surpass all previous showings. Ac-
cording to Paris cables and reports
of returning buyers this is going to
be the biggest suede season ever.
The fact that you can get anything
you want these days fashioned of
suede from sports toys to evening at
tire adds to its lure. Then, too, with
the tang of autumn in the air comes
the urge for clothes that tune to the
colorful landscape and as every
woman knows when it comes to rich
beautiful colors there's nothing in
fashion media that can surpass
suede. Note the wide scope of coat
and dress types expressed in terms
of suede as here pictured.
A coat such as shown to the left
will grace any grandstand occasion,
at the same time that it filings defy

Im hi Butterfat Yields

In 10 years members OF dairy
herd improvement associations
throughout the country have so inn
proved their herds that the average
yearly butterfat production of asso-
citation cows has increased about 80
pounds, reports DR.. j. F. Kendrick
of the federal bureau Of dairy in
dustry. This increase in production,
brought about by culling out poor
producers, by feeding the remaining
cows according to production, and
by better selection of dairy sires,
has increased returns to association
members by about $8.000.0O0 a year.

GUIDANCE IN COMMERCIAL
EDUCATION
Gwendolyn Marshall

The future of commercial educa-
ton depends upon effective pupil
guidance. Students in the transi-
tional period, between the com
mon-to-all' curriculum of the ele-
mentary school and the "opportun-
ity-to-select" program of the SEN
iior high school, need guidance and
counseling if they are to plan in
telligently.
For many years, there has been
a tendency on the part of some ad-
ministrators and counselors, when
pupils in the high school proved
unsuccessful in the curricula they
had chosen, to shift them to a diff
ferent field of specialization, which
in many cases, was commerce.
This tendency is still apparent.
These pupils are in the business
curriculum not because that is the
cirriculum which fits their individ-
ual needs, but because those in
charge of pupil placement some
times seem to believe that "prac-
tically anyone can do this type of
work" While this practice is not
universal, yet it must be admitted
that too often teachers of business
subjects are called upon to teach
misfits.
From almost every direction, one
hears the cry. I'VE need better
business leadership" A contribut-
ing factor to the dearth of business
leadership is the shunting of stu
dents of low ability into the COM
mercial classes. To develop bet
ter business leadership. not the
culls. but the best of American
youth must be trained to carry on
that new order Of business.
A more careful analysis is often
needed in selecting pupils for each
of the several curricula in our sec
