6 OREGON CiTY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1917 r 1 ; s THE FASHIONS All through the spring, one of the materials that has kept steadily in creasing in popularity is wool jersey. It has been used for coats and suits, for one-piece dresses, separate skirts and for middy blouses. .It has been braided, stitched, and even beaded, just like all the other smart mater' ials. Colored beads combined with silk embroidery is the latest form of decoration to which jersey has taken, As summer approaches, there is not the slightest indication that wool jersey is on the wane. But, on the contrary, one seems to see more and more of it every day. On a dress that could not possibly be too warm for summer, it was combined with dotted crepe in the following manner; pink crepe with white polka dots made the waist and sleeves; the waist extended down to the hip line, and from there downward the skirt was of white wool jersey. There was a small yoke of the white jersey at the neck of the dress. This is one of the novel ways in which this popular material is used. White jersey suits bound with white silk braid or trimmed with black and white check are in very good style at present. They look cool and summery. All shades of gold and mustard are high in favor and especially so in the jersey cloths. Lavender and purple in jersoy cloth are also among the popular colors of the hour. Gold silk jersey has been combined most successfully with gray wool jersey in some suits and dresses, and with dark tan wool jersey in others, This combination of silk and wool jersey is frequently used by the best dressmakers. In some loose-fitting suits, with knee-sleeves, the silk is used for the sleeves, side and back of the coat, and the wool for bands down the front and around the bottom of the coat, as well as for the skirt, Cool Summer Voiles Cool and refreshing summer voiles in dainty flowered effects are charm ing for the informal cotton frocks, of which every woman -requires several for the distressingly hot days. Now is the time to get them made. The styles are generally simple. Pleated, tucked or gathered skirts combine with the simplest of waists having a' little fulness at the shoulders with an attractive collar edged with lace or machine picot edging. Soft pleats finished off with a head ing at the top of the skirt are unusu ally pretty, as shown in the sketch. The puffed pockets are a charming lL"" novelty especially suited to this type of summer frock. A long collar of white organdy provides the finishing touch in this dainty hot-weather frock. It is the collar that makes the blouse in a great many cases. Large cape-like collars falling in points over the shoulders and continuing down the front of the waist are now being worn. A blouse with one of those new collars is illustrated. It is fashv ioned of whito organay, wnicn is be ing used a great deal for blouses. The ekirt that accompanies this blouse is of one of the smart wool plaids. It has pocket sections at the sides, giv ing a graceful draped effect. . Plaids are lovely for sports skirts and for other kinds of skirts, too. They are worn with short coats of a plain material and with slip-on blous es for sports use. The New Mannish Shirtwaist Mannish shirtwaists are growing in favor. Some models of linen are made with finely tucked fronts, like those of a man's shirt In addition to these tucks, there are little sprays embroidered in colors on some of the waists and turnover collars of pique. As separate waists and skirts grow more and more important there are always some novelties to be found among them. White tub skirts of cotton gabardine are made with yokes of colored linen, and where the skirt is attached to the yoke there are sev eral rows of machine stitching done in heavy colored cotton the color of the yoke. White skirts with green, blue or orange-colored yokes are quite effective. A strong military note is observed in suits of mannish cut for women. The coats are short and plentifully provided with pockets like those on a soldier's uniform. These suits are developed in dark blue and khaki- colored materials. Perhaps the mili tary spirit is also responsible for the combination of blue and red so fre quently seen. Blue dresses are em broidered with red beads or red silk, and in some very striking' models there are entire sleeves of red with, perhaps, pockets on the skirt showing bright lining of red. Hats also show the red and blue combination, generally in touches of red on blue straw. ALL AROUND THE FARM REAFFIRMS DECISION PREVENT COLT LOSSES.

The udder should be rinsed off with a weak disinfectant, too, before the colt Is allowed to suck. The first milk or colostrum Is laxa tive and usually cleans the digestive tract within six to eight hours. If the bowels do not move a laxative as two ounces of castor oil can be given, and a couple of ounces of warm water with a little' glycerin Injected luto the rec tum. It is bard -to determine what causes scours or diarrhea In each Indi vidual case, but the common causes are changes In the composition of the mare's milk due to nervousness, over work or changes lu feed, allowing the colt to gorge Itself from the full udder of a mare that has become quite warm from overwork, and from tilth in the food. When the colt la four weeSs old It will begin to eat a little grain; whole oats are the best The colt should have a chance to nurse every two or three hours until it Is about three months old. This is also for the good of the mare, as her udder will fill up In about three hours, and if the eolt does not nurse or the mare Is not milked there is danger that the udder will be come damaged and the milk flow so lessened that there will not be enough for the colt If cow's milk must be fed dilute It with about one-third water and two level teaspoonfuls of sugar to each quart Ordinarily a colt Bhould nurse until It Is six months old, when it can be weaned without any setback. Grain should be fed, as without It a good growth will not result. The valu able Imported horses that have been so much In demand In this country are fed grain from the time they are old enough to eat till mature. NERVOUSNESS AND BLUES Symptomsof More Serious Sickness. Inooulatlon For Alfalfa. Inoculation for alfalfu may best be accomplished by scattering over the area to be Bceded surface soil taken to the depth of four or. Ave iiiehes from another Held upou which -the crop bus been previously successfully grown The soil should be broadcasted nt the rote of from 250 to COO pounds per acre and harrowed In Immediately. The spreading should take place on a cloudy day or lute In the afternoon, as the sun's rays are destructive to the germs. Soil from the roots of sweet clover nlunts also will Inoculate al falfa.

Campbell, of the cir cuit court for Clackamas county has reaffirmed his decision, which is ad verse to the state, in the Hyde land fraud case, which was tried before him. This is the only one out of six de cisions in the Hyde land fraud cases which has been unfavorable to the state. "There can be no doubt from the evidence in this case," says Judge Campbell in his decision, a copy of which was received Monday by At torney General Brown, "that Hyde procured title to this land by fraudu lent means, and in violation of the law of Oregon governing the sale of school lands." But he holds that the law passed by the legislature in 1901, which was two years after Hyde obtained from the state his last deed to the 2000 acres involved, cured Hyde's fraudu lently obtained title. Thi3 law was for the purpose of ratifying sales of land made by the state land board. Five other judges of the circuit courts of the state, who have decided similar cases, held that this law did not apply to the lands obtained by Hyde by fraud. Judge Campbell points out that the present owner of the lands, the West ern Lumber company, is an innocent purchaser, and that it is as much the public policy of the state to protect the innocent purchaser as it is to re cover lands obtained from the state by fraud. He asserts also conditions existing at the time Hyde obtained the lands were known to the public officials, "who, no doubt," he says, "felt that they were getting the best of the bargain by converting the lands into cash and loaning the cash for the benefit of the school fund."

Vedder visit ed the Firgrove, Redland, Viola, Dodge, Springwater, Twilight, Bar low, Canby, Marks Prairie, Pleasant Hill, Milwaukie, Oak Grove and Con cord schools last week, and reports that he found very little to criticise during the entire trip.

New Spark-Plug Cleaner Spark plugs may be rapidly freed from carbon and oil by a new clean ing device which does not require the plugs to be taken apart for its opera tions, acording to the June Popular Mechanics magazine. It consists of a small tube with a bushing at one end to receive the plug, and a number of loose needles contained within. When the tube is half filled with gas oline and the plug to be cleaned is screwed into the bushing, it is only necessary to shake the tube, when the needles inside pick any carbon off the porcelain, while the gasoline dissolves any oil on the plug.
