THE FASHIONS
New York, January 13, 1916. .
For those of us who are fortunate
enough to be able to step, as it were,
from beneath thee loudy, wintry skies
of the North into the sunshine and
flowers of the South, the shops are
fairly overflowing with linens, soft
silks, cool looking suitings, the most
feminine of hats, parasols, and all the
other accessories that go to make up
the summer costume.
' The Bolero Suit
When the various European coun
tries unconsciously everted their in
fluence on styles by their entry into
the war, or their equally difficult stand
of neutrality, the bolero was again in
troduced into the woman's wardrobe,
it being the Spanish note. It is a
model that has always, been a great
favorite. It is generally becoming
and may be made at home with re
sults as good as if fashioned by a
tailor. Fine blue serge, soutached, or
trimmed with a design in gold braid
or galoon, is most often seen in the
bolero models; often the upper portion
of the pleated or gathered skirt is of
taffeta in black or in the same tone as
MoCilt
the serge. Collars andc uffs of taf
feta and taffeta covered buttons are
also used with good effect. '
Stripes and Checks
In both thes uitings and the soft
silks being fashioned into frocks and
suits for southern wear and early
spring, the popularity of stripes and
checks is quite as marked as it was
last season; the combination of black
and white and soft gray is also notice
able. The soft wool suitings in checks
ranging from the very tiny pattern to
the aggressive checker-board designs
are all good, relieved with a touch of
vivid green, rose or orange; black taf
feta and moire are also effective for
trimming these suits and tailored
frocks. The striped silks are usually
combined with a plain satin or silk,
in a tone that harmonizes with or is
an effective contrast to the predom
inating color in the striped material.
Sheer fabrics, crepe Georgettes, chiffon-cloths,
silk voiles, and the var
ious other transparent fabrics promise
to be as good for sleeves, collars and
other trimming purposes as they have
been for the past few seasons.
Net Blouses Practical
Blouses of chiffon-cloth, chiffon,
and similar materials, dainty and be
coming to a degree, were never very
durable. It was really heartbreaking
when one had a particularly becom
ing and rather expensive blouse, to'
have it begin to pull out and wear un
der the arms and at the elbows after
only one or tw owearings. This was
partially done away with when cot-
afoCub
ton net was introduced for lining
these waists; this season we have the
net blouse itself, often lined with net
or chiffon-cloth. These waists are de-

TEST WATER SUPPLY
Safety of People on Farms Depends
on Purity of Wells
Too often it happens that the farm
water source is mis.named. It is not
a deep well; it is in reality a deep
puddle, open to all kinds of contamin
ation, many of them from unsuspect
ed sources. In dozens of instances we
find typhoid fever, dirrhoea, and many
other diseases being scattered
throughout a community on account of
contamination. Typhoid fever alone
takes a toll of approximately 40,000
cases of this disease in our country
every year. Most of these cases "are
the direct result of polluted water,
water which is supposed to be pure but
which is nevertheless the carrier of
death.
' The question of water supplies on
farms, therefore, will be dealt with
during the course of a lecture by Pro
fessor Beckwith during the 0. A. C.
Short course Jan. 10 to Feb. 4. The
proper methods of constructing and
safeguarding a well will be presented,
as well as what to do with a spring.
The question of a pure source of water
supply on the farm is one which is
second to none, inasmuch as the con
dition of the water supply is a sure
indication as to what may be expected
to be the condition of health of those
partaking it. -
CONTROL OF FIRE BLIGHT
Special Lectures on Method to Fight
Fruit Pest are Planned
Fire blight, the most destructive of
apple and pear diseases, has caused
great damage during the past season
in certain parts of Oregon. The di
sease has also made its appearance
this year in certain localities not hith
erto known to harbor the disease. In
order to prevent the tremendous loss
es which usually follow the incursions
of fire blight growers must understand
the nature of the disease and the
methods by which it can be kept in
check.
In order to meet the demand for
information, Professor H. P. Barss,
head of the department of Botany and
Plant Pathology of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, will discuss this di
sease and the way by which it may
be successfully controlled, as part of
a series of lectures presenting the
latest information in regard to the
principal - plant diseases in Oregon,
which will be given at the Winter
Short Course, Jan. 10 to Feb. 4.
Fossil Rock Found
Near Reno, Nev., are peculiar beds
of diatomaceous earth. This chalk-
white material consists largely of fos
sil microscopic animals called diatoms.
These remains have collected here in
numbers so immense as to form de
posits hundreds of feet thick and in
places make up almost the entire
mass of the rock. This mass of fos
sil diatoms, or diatomaceous earth,
formerly, called infusorial earth,, dif
fers from white chalk only in that it
is composed of silica instead of- lime
carbonate. It is so light that it will
almost float on water. (Overland
Guidebook, Bulletin 612, U .S. Geo
logical Survey.)

AFTER GRIPPE
Vinol Restored Mr. Martin's Strength
WaDakoneta. Ohio. "I am a farmer
by occupation, and the grippe left me
with a bad cough and in a nervous, weak,
run-down condition, ana 1 coma not
seem to get anything to do me any good
until I took Vinol which built me up,
and my cough and nervousness are all
gone, and I can truly , say Vinol is all
that is claimed for it "-James Martin.
Vinol is a constitutional remedy for
all weak,, nervous and run-down condi
tions of men, women ana emiaren, ana
for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis.

lightfully sheer and they have a won
derful wearing quality.
Often the net blouse is trimmed
with a linen cluny, or another equally
pretty lace in a rather heavy pattern.
Then again collar and cuffs are of a
picotedged Georgette in a delicate tone
of rose, yellow or pale pink. Novelty
buttons in quaint effective colorings
are sometimes used at the closing of
collar, or down the front, forming
unusually attractive trimming details.
The softly colored blouse of crepe
Georgette has by no means taken a
back seat because of the popularity of
the new net favorite; these are being
brought out, if anything, in prettier
and more charmingly colored designs
than ever before. Rose pink is a fav
orite shade; ft combines so well with
the dark blues, browns and other
tailored suit colors.
Hats and Parasols
Small and medium sized hats as al
ways are the first outputs of our New
York milliners, for the South and
esrly Spring. Many of the prettiest
of them show a combination of straw
and taffeta. One especially attractive
medium-sized hat displayed on the
Avenue some time ago, was of tete
de Negre satin; the brim turned up a
trifle on the left side and the frame
was covered smoothly save for a cord
effect around the outer edge of the
brim and at the top of the crown. The
only trimming was a severely straight
upstanding wing made of the satin,
edged with a cut ruching of maline
in the same shade of brown as the
hat. The effect of the hat was smart
and tailored. Another pretty small
hat was-made half of straw braid and
half of changeable taffeta, the taffeta
being draped over one side of the
crown, finishing in a high upstanding
loop on the side. Imitation Goura in
a soft shade of gray was effective
trimming on another small hat. In
parasols there are many novelties as
always at the opening of a season
Some Japanese effects are seen, and
some hand embroidered designs; a
particularly pretty fancy parasol was
of a dark taffeta gathered and tassel-
at the points.

WET GUNCOTTON.
Mora Stable Than Dry and Explodaa
Only From a Sevsra Shook.
Owing to Its high percentage of nitro
gen oxide, guneotton when exposed to
air In a dry state rapidly absorbs oxy
gen from the air and becomes very
dangerous, exploding spontaneously or
from slight shock. Dry guneotton In
uuconflned mass merely burns with a
flash like gunpowder, only much more
rapidly; It does not exert explosive ef
fect unless confined, as in a shell. In
Its dry state guneotton Is seldom used
for primers and detonators, as It is too
unstable and will explode with a slight
shock or blow.
The guneotton carried aboard war
vessels and submarines for the ex
plosive charge of torpedoes Is always
wet guneotton, kept In air tight con
tainers to prevent evaporation of mois
ture. Wet guneotton can be exploded
only by a severe shock; hence primers
or detonators of some more powerful
explosive are necessary, these explod

ship's side and In turn exploding the
guneotton lu the war head. Fifty to 100
pounds Is the usual charge of a tor
pedo. Ordinarily safe If properly stowed

constant and regular tests for acidity
are part of the duties of ordnance offi

test is promptly condemned and either
destroyed or reworked and washed.

LAW OLD AND NEW.
A Cynical View of Past Methods and
Those of the Present.
Law, more especially criminal law,
has usually been an occult science. It
is still the practice In Burma, we hn
lleve, to give two disputants candles of
the same size, to be lighted at the
same time. The oue whose candle
burns longest gets Judgment against
the other.
Less than 100 years ago a defendant
In an English criminal trial appealed
to the ordeal of battle, and the court
was more or less surprised to find that
the ancient law on which he relied had
never been repealed.
Determining a man's guilt or Inno
cence by bis ability to walk on hot
plowshares or carry a hot iron or
drink a poisonous decoction or by
throwing him bound Into water has
been practiced for ages among many
peoples. The medieval method of let
ting accused and accuser, fight it out
with weapons was common over Eu
rope. Our modest ancestors confessed their
Inability to find the merits of the
cause and so relegated the whole af
fair to the Intervention of supernatural
agencies. The main difference Is that
we are less modest Instead of the
ordeal of battle or the old key and Bi
ble test or the "sieve witch," we have

Snuff and a Crook.
Robert Plnkcrton once told a story
of his father, the founder of the de

elder Plnkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained In Plnkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Plnkerton
left the room and when be returned
took the precaution of holding a re
volver In front of him ready for use.
He bbw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Plnkerton's desk In his band
"This is good snuff," affably re
marked the crook ns he took a sniff.
"For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Plnkerton. who knew. that tho crook

"Well." remarked the criminal, "I'm
sorry to say tlint the nose gets It this
time."
