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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liquids Essential
To help you keep cool, the sum

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
