Holmes CounN's Crop
SpoiIage Can Be
Halved; Says French
$4,000 Annually
Estimated Loss For
l0,077 Operators

Prevention Of waste in food dis
tribution will be a vital factor in the
effort Of Holmes county's 1O,o77
farm operators and workers to ac-
hieve their wartime food produc-
ton goals, it was indicated today in
. survey by q leading distributor OF
Mississippi farm produce,
At least half of the estimated
$4,000 annually lost, from spoil
age and damage to Mississippi fruits
and vegetables alone ear be prevent
ed by the use of better grading,
packing and by better and more
direct distribution methods, Earl K.
French, marketing director for At
lantic Commission Company. A n
P produce buying affiliate, declared
in the surveys summary. He indi-
Gated that further savings could be
realized from improved handling of
other Mississippi farm products.
"If Holmes county farmers, work
ing with distributors, cut by half the
average 10 to IL per cent of fruit
and vegetable shipments lost through
damage and spoilage, they will have
achieved the equivalent of a 5 to g
per cent increase in production with
out any extra acreage, seed, fertili-
! ger, equipment or farm labor Mr..
/, French said.
Under wartime conditions, use
Of efficient production methods and
efficient distribution channels such
as those developed by chain stores
is becoming increasingly important"
ne continued. "For example, Hol-
mes county's 9,289 farm family
workers will find their job in in
creasing production made more diff
ficult because of the shrinking farm
labor supply, rising farm wages and
limited availability Of farm mach
! inery and supplies.

College girls are making a mad
rush for twin sweater sets, a pull.
over teamed with a jacket sweater
type. Fashion is especially featur.
ing shaggy effects, with teddy-bear
cardigans in the lead. White sweat
ers with vivid wool embroidery and
novelty yarn fringe trimming are
particularly in the spotlight this sea-
son.
Evening sweaters provide a theme
for poets to sing of and painters to
glorify in portraiture. To say that
they dazzle the eye is not a figure Of
speech, but literally so. The big
news about them is their %glittering
embroidery. The white woolknit
evening sweater shown above to the
right is elegantly embroidered with
pearls and fine gold braid. Note
the novel bracelet embroidered di-
rectly on the knitted surface. Long
cultured" pearls, diamond ear
rings and a dainty spray-pin of
pearls for the hair complete the
jewelry ensemble.
BY the way, it's correct to wear
beads and jewelry with daytime
sweaters as well as with evening
knits. The smart young modern pic
tured in the group wearing the
checked knitted vest is very appro-
priately Haunting a new version Of
the popular bangle bracelets in light
and dark amber set in gold. Also,

Glitter Brightens
Simple Dark Woods

The fact that simple little day.
time wool frocks, and even knitted
modes. are highlighted with glitter
accents in the way of bead work and
sequin embroidery is very style-sig-
nificant. Two outstanding trends in
the use of glitter notes give variety
to the mode.
The one is the positioning Of a
single motif of sequin-worked flow
ers on frocks that are otherwise
styled with extreme simplicity. An
afternoon frock of either velvet or
crepe that interprets this technique
makes for good style this season.
The other gesture in adding the
sparkle highlieht is see in alluring
sheer yokes that top otherwise SIM
pie dark dresses. These yokes are
often as filmy as chiffon or sheer
weave a make them. and they
take on glamour in that they are fin
tsAed off at the lower edge with a
h~andworked jewelry effect or a huge
bowknot done in sequins. Sometimes
the treatment is varied in that the
filmy yoke is allover studded with
seed pearls or sparkling tiny beads.

their styling. They are taking the

least they make a grand alterna-
tive) which have been so c]onspicu-

1t takes mastery styling to
achieve a knitted jacket as smart

worn with wool Stacks. 1t would be

The Younger Side

What this country must have is
enforced athletic training, nation
wide. from the ages of II to 16 or
IS. Above all, it should include hik-
ing, running, jumping and SWIM
ming.
Before the war we were facing a
legless country, where kids live on
wheels.
The program also should include
such competitions as boxing and
wrestling, basketball and baseball.
A rough, body-contact game, such
as football, should not be compul-
sorry before Is or 16. Kicking, pass
ing and touch football fit in nicely
not hard tackling or blocking.
I believe that Texas, for example,
overdoes high-school football. Too
many hard games for undeveloped
kids can do more harm than good.
Six or W. games a eason for
those under 10 or 10 is quite enough.
But Texas, at least, has erred on
the right side. In too many other
states the kids are undertrained, not
overturned.

S~ubconscious Training

The ease with which the SUBJ
conscious mind can train itself is
illustrated by the case of a certain
somnambulist, reports Golfers.
The man placed a tub of cold wa
ter beside his bed when retiring
so he would step into it and be
awakened when starting his night
ly sleepwalks.
The plan worked successfully a
few times and then his subcon-
scious mind began to make him
get out on the other or "safe' side
of the bed.

XXI Notes

Both long and short dresses often
have low square necklines and
plunging V-necks. There is a dis
position on the part Of designers to
create such fascinating. artful ef-
fects that the rest of the dress is
styled with extreme simplicity as to
better accent the chic and charm of
the ingenious neckline. Accents Of
sequins. embroidery and flmy black
lace add to the picture.
