Special emphasis is being placed on the vogue of picturesque hats that have a sentimental air that tunes in charmingly with the witch ery of a brightly colorful, flattering print gown. Which goes to show that there is a trend to dress in lovely-lady fashion. You will find more and more as the summer comes on that the "be pretty” mood prevails throughout the mode. The trio of charming summer cos tumes illustrated is convincing as to the “ prettiness" of current fash ions. The dress to the right in terprets a new version of the dirndle in black and pink print silk crepe. It is shirred at each side to give moderate skirt fullness in front with a slim back line. The box shoulders emphasize smallness of waistline, a feature especially indicated in the newer dresses. Wear block uccents with this gown for town and change to touches of pink when you go to your country club. The black hair hat posed far back on the head and flaring far up in front is a foremost millinery fashion. Even the new white felt tailored shapes have thia upward off-face movement. ACCENTS OF SUEDE By C U R R IE N K H O I.A « A word about black und pink. As the season advances costume after costume favors this combination. It gives a pretty effect indeed, when the dresa of pink and black print is enhanced with pink costume jew elry, perhaps adding a girdle sash of soft pink suede with possibly a pink suede bolero. A lovely midsummer sheer cen ters the group. This printed blue and white silk chiffon day dress has the new square neckline. Watch neckline«! Designers are giving a lot of attention to them, introducing novelty In lowcut fanciful outlines that im part an entirely new char acter to the styling of blouses and gowns. Note also the horizontal tucked bodice and the skirt pleats released below the hips. And the big flower-trimmed leghorn hat. Wide brims and colorfully patterned prints play a charming duet in the fashion picture. For an afternoon ensemble select a bayadere silk chiffon dress in rainbow colors, together with a navy wool full-length unlined coat, such as pictured to the left. Take note of the hatpin on the merry widow black straw hat with its crown of taffeta bows and horse hair brim. Speaking of wide brim hats to weur with print silks the latest models are taking on tremendously high crowns that taper toward the top in early Pilgrim fashion. The leghorns of this type are especially attractive. For the most part their trimm ing is confined to ribbon bands with streamers down the back. C W e s te rn N e w s p a p e r U n io n . STRAPLESS BRA IS GOOD STYLE NEWS B y C H E R IE NICH O LA S Here is good news, it’s about the strapless brassiere designed to wear with the very fashionable strapless evening gown. It is made of net or lace with drawstring at the top and is boned just enough to keep it up without the aid of straps over the shoulders. Solves the prob lem of what to wear under that transparent blouse or dress in the daytime where one must do away with unsightly straps to look well groomed. Try the new strapless bra under your costume slip in the daytime and you will be delight ed at the nicety and neatness it af fords. W hite for “ U ndies” Latest On Calendar of Fashions Nuw that designers have sensed the vast possibilities suede offers to the fushion field and now that suede has been so scientifically treated that it is rendered thoroughly fab riclike, there's just no end to the exciting things being done with it. For instance, this lovely silk print summer costume, posed by Lucille Bull, radio player, is greatly en hanced with a girdle sash of grape colored suede with streamers of matching suede on the attractive wide-brim hat. M illiners Are Featuring Button Bonnets Just Now Milliners are featuring “ button bonnets” this season. They are as fashionable for “ big sisters” to wear as they are for the tiny mem bers of the fam ily. They are made of pique, sharkskin, printed linens and such. While the new button bonnets are as pretty as a picture and as chic as can be, they are something more than mere eye teas ers for they are practical to the nth degree, in that they are made to unbutton at will so os to lay out perfectly flat. Which means you can launder them easily and when buttoned back into shape they look like brand new millinery. Flatten them out by unbuttoning and they pack without taking up ro o m -ideal for week-end trips. If you are casting about for "un dies" that express the ultimate in chic, be style-alert by asking to see the latest creations in white nighties and slips or foundation garments and corsetry. A vogue for pure white is down on the calendar of new fashions. Also there is a sentiment gaining to use fine wash materials, such as choicest of nainsooks and batistes and handkerchief linens, dimities and a whole list of the quaint, beau tiful wash fabrics that again have come into their own. You will have Joyous surprises, too, in the styling of the various garments. For instance a dainty bed-jacket is made of white batiste with vertical rows of embroidery beading with the traditional “ baby ribbon” run through and val lace edgings for trim . White rayon satin corsets and foundations that slenderize one to a finish are also in promise. Terry Cloth Retains Its Popularity on the Beach The introduction of many new cot ton fabrics fails to check the popu larity of terry cloth when it comes to beach attire. Coats and capes of the toweling continue to be fea tured, the most striking version be ing a two-toned striped pattern. Bold contrasts such as bright navy or black with white present the theme to best advantage. Jacket-like blouses that have been dubbed "night shirts,’ ’ are made of white terry cloth and take the place of longer coats for beach wear. How to make hay in rainy weath er is a trick that has been solved on many dairy farms during the past few years. Modern methods of making green grass silage have done away with the need for long curing in the field, and the resulting product is high in valuable food ele ments and appetizing to the cows. Dairymen have been cxfieriment- ing with this new method of making grass and clover silage for several years and the state college has also given it extensive trials. Up to the present time, corn has been the standard silage crop of the North east, but on many farms grass and clover are easier to grow, the yields are as high as those of silage corn, and protein content of the resulting silage is higher than that of corn silage. Grasses and clover are low in sugar content and for this reason it was difficult to bring about desir able fermentation in the silo until investigators found that the addi tion of cheap molasses brought about this result. The molasses is added to the grass and clover as it is fed into the cutter. On the college farm 40 to 60 pounds of molasses are added to each ton of grass. Where alfalfa is put up about 75 pounds of molasses to the ton is used. Silage put up in this man ner last year came out ot the silo sweet and in excellent condition, and the herd responded favorably to it. Grass silage is best when the crop is cut in a young and tender stage. If it becomes mature and woody, it makes poor silage. Feed Hoppers Are Urged For the Young Pullets Healthy growing pullets require large quantities of feed, and the best growth can be made only when the birds have free and continued ac cess to the feed. For this reason, advises a w riter in the Montreal Herald, we recommend at least three 5-foot mash hoppers 4 to 5 inches deep, feeding from both sides, for each 100 birds, during the early part of the summer. These hop pers should be filled daily with fresh mash, and should never stand emp ty. On the other hand, if they are filled too full there may be a waste of mash. To overcome this difficul ty a strip of lath may be nailed along the top of the outer edge, so as to form a lip and prevent spill ing. To prevent soiling the feed, a re volving pole or reel of laths is fast ened just above the level of the feed and secured to the raised ends of the hopper. For outdoor feeding, much labor can be saved by using large weatherproof, self-feeding hoppers. These are built with a solid roof or lid covered with tar paper, which extends out beyond the feed trough on each side of the res ervoir, and thus protects it from rain. These feeders may hold 100 to 200 pounds ot mash, and thus re quire little attention in filling. A pullet will eat about 20 to 25 pounds of feed from the age of six weeks up to m aturity.

And hardly a week passes without reports of heat prostrations. ---------- —----------------------------- F M eeting the Challenge of H ot W eather W hile abnorm al heat or hu m idity may he a secondary cause, the real reason behind much warm-weather suffering is a fa il ure to meet the challenge if sum mer with a judicious diet. Automobile owners know that no car is better than its engine, and in warm weather, careful drivers watch the gauge on the dash board to be sure the engine does not become overheat ed. But most peo ple give little thought to that most remarkable of all engines— the human digestive machinery. Compared to the engine in your body, the one in your car is a crude, rough affair that can stand no end of punishment. Moreover, the automobile is driven for a cer tain length of tim e and then per mitted to rest. But the marvelous mechanism which transforms your food into blood, bone, mus cle, and your capacity for thought and action is never wholly at rest. H o t W eather and Vitamin C Two European investigators re cently found that exposure to high temperatures causes a 50 per cent loss in vitamin C from the body tissues. And lowered vitamin C reserves are partially responsible for that tired feeling so often ex perienced in warm weather. Their research indicates that drinking orange or lemon juice, which are rich in vitamin C, actually helps to mitigate the effect of the heat. it supplies to the body is con verted into heat. The rest goes into brain and muscle power. Therefore, one good way to pre vent needless fatigue in summer is to take a cool, moderately sweetened drink whenever you feel tired during the day. This will satisfy thirst and ward off exhaustion like a rest by the road after a long hard tramp. Too highly sweetened bever ages, however, may be beating to the body, though they are cooling to the palate. For thia reason, it is advisable for homemakers to mix their own cool drinks so that they can control the amount of sweetening used. It is possible to buy inexpensive packaged bever age crystals in a variety of fla vors, which make delicious, re freshing' and cooling drinks for general fam ily use. One of these contains added vitamin D, and as the sugar is added by the home m aker, you can be the judge of how much to use. This is an ex cellent idea, especially in house holds where there are children, for the home-made drink satisfies thirst, provides needed energy and discourages them from buy ing bottled beverages of doubtful purity. ■—i t — Importance of the Right Pood Choose Cold Drinks Carefully Cooling Foods A cold drink is comforting on a hot day. And in addition, sweet ened beverages help to relieve fa tigue, for their carbohydrate con tent supplies available energy. Sugar is the least heating of the energy producing foods, for less than one-sixteenth of the energy I offer free to readers of this column a new bulletin containing a list of cooling foods, plus prac tical, specific advice in planning the warm weather diet. There are also menus showing how easily you can K E E P COOL W ITH .— Gasoline and kerosene fires cause a loss of approximately $6,000,000 a year on the farms of the United States, according to the bureau of chemistry and soils of the United States Department of Agriculture. They are sixth among the causés of farm fires and are responsible for 5 to 7 per cent of the total loss each year. Ignorance and disregard of the explosion hazard of gasoline and kerosene are responsible for most of these fires, says a bulletin. The vapor of gasoline is so highly ex plosive that it has been called "liq uid dynam ite.” It is dangerous to use gasoline for dry cleaning in the home. It may explode from even a tiny spark of static electricity pro duced by rubbing the clothing be ing cleaned. Although not so in flammable as gasoline, kerosene also gives off vapors which may be easily ignited. Neither should be used to start a fire in the house.

Simple, Keep-Cool Cottons There are several factors to bear in mind when planning the hot-weather diet. The first secret of keeping cool is to supply the body machinery with food fuel that can be utilized with the least expenditure of energy. W arm weather is responsible for muscular relaxation in the di gestive tract, as well as other parts of the body. And you run the risk of digestive upsets, with their discomfort and health haz ards, unless you make every ef fort to lessen the work of your digestive system. E a t lightly of rich fatty meats pastries, rich cakes, sauces and gravies. At all times, choose eas ily digestible foods. Don’t overeat. The task of han dling excess food is a burden tc the body at any season. In hot weather, it will cause the body tem perature to mount along with the thermometer, and may result in a serious upset. I t is also ad visable to cut down somewhat on the quantity of heat and energy producing foods consumed—that is the carbohydrates and fats. Matured sugar cane contains 18 per cent sugar. * • • In hot weather the hens need plenty of water, often renewed • * • Soils become acid because the lime is used by crops and carried away in drainage water. • • • Legume hay and legume pasture are fine for growing colts These nutritious roughages make it unnec essary to feed grain to colts. • • • Legume hay as port of the rough- age helps to keep horses in good health and flesh, says E . T. Rob bins, live stock extension specialist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Liquids Essential To help you keep cool, the sum m er diet must include an abun dance ot liquids. These are neces sary to make up for the large amounts of moisture lost from the body through increased perspira tion. Liquids may be taken in the form of m ilk, fruit juices and cool ing drinks made from pure water and packaged beverage crystals containing dextrose, fruit acid, fla voring and coloring.

I f the automobile engine re- quires special attention, how much more important to stoke your body engine with food suited to the weather! No one would think of going about in midsummer wearing the same garments that were worn all winter. Yet many women continue to serve the same type of meals which were required to keep the body warm in winter. Such a I practice is sure to make you mis erable. But more than that, it lowers resistance and may, there fore, lead to illness.
