THE GATE CITY JOURNAL Eskimo Works of Art Boys Like Belts on Their Clothes (P r e p a r e d b y t h e U n ited S t a te « D e p a rtm e n t o f A g r i c u l t u r e .) In the effort to do away with aome o f the usual complicated fastenings on small boyb’ suits, clothing special ists o f the bureau o f home economics o f the United States Department of Agriculture have eliminated several types o f belts and are suggesting im provements In others. The belts that had to be put through a succession o f loops around the waist, some of them out o f reach In back, were esj>e- d a lly aggravating. This type o f belt had to be pulled out and put bnek whenever the trousers were unfas tened. Nevertheless, having a belt o f some sort may he a very real pleasure to some small lads They will not he very critical about the construction o f It, Just so It Is a belt. The httreau has designed a very satisfactory and I Evening Fairy Tale for the Children • # ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ » »» »» » ♦ ♦ » ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ « used at first with buttons always In the same place, So that the child will learn to manipulate every button with out aid. Later on variations and changes In style muy be Introduced. The blouse o f this suit has a very simple one-button opening. The set- in sleeves clear the elbows and are loose enough to permit all normal ac tivity. A flat collar facing and sleeve finish matches the trousers.

Melt 2 tablespoon fuls o f the fat in a skillet, add the green pepper and onion, and cook for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, eggplant, salt, and pepper, cook for ten minutes and place the mixture In a shallow greased baking dish. Melt the remaining fat In a skillet, stir in the bread crumbs, and sprinkle the crumbs over the eggplant. Bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes, or un til the eggplant is tender and the crumbs are browned. The button bush flowers areD’t like the big buttons one sees In a work box. So, really, there Is no special reason for such a name. Each button bush plant has a great, great many flowers upon It and each one o f these flow ers Is filled with the most delicious honey. There was going to be a banquet that day, and the banquet table was to be the bush. It was being held In the swamp where the bush grew. Perhaps you could say that the many, many flow- erg on the button bush looked a little bit like very small buttons, but any way each o f these flowers was filled with the most delicious honey. “ When Is the banquet to begin?” asked <jpe little flower. “ In a very short time,” said the Button Bush. "Patience, though, little flowers. The guests will come soon.” "W ho are the guests to be?” asked the flowers. "All the little Insects o f the swar.p,” said the Button Bush. “ Oh. good ie!” they said. "It will be a great and magnificent banquet, a great and gay banquet.” And they all looked very happy. At last the guests began to arrive, and once they had started to come It seemed as though they would never stop. O f course, they held banquets every day In the swamp, and many times a day, but this was a very special banquet. One little Insect was seated upon By M ARY G RAH AM BONNER the edge o f a tiny button hush flower. “ Will you tell me a secret?” asked the Insect “ What Is It?" asked the flower. "Ah, It's a secret you all have; but If you will tell me I will promise to tell only my friends and companions, the Insects. "You don’t mind if we know. W e’re all such friends.” "W hat secret hare we that yon Guests Began to Arriva. want to know?” asked the little flower. “ Ah, sly one, shy one, you know,’’ said the Insect. The flower moved a little In the breeze. "H ave another good sip of honey and I will tell you,” said the flower. “ That's an easy command to obey,” said the insect. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo^ Wide Brims Chic for Summer oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo By JULIA BOTTOMLEY oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo back to the almost forgotten cart wheel types. That very handsome drooping brim, first In the picture, with Its modish shallow crown which has white roses posed at the back, combines the ultra- new coarse straw with fine Milan In Its making. Another black Milan mushroom-brim model Is shown to the right. It Is trimmed with pink velvet ribhon. If any color Is smarter combined with biack than white, thnt color Is pink, turquoise, or light blue following next In order. The Milnn down In the left-hand com er Is made In sections which are fagoted together by hand. Quite s considerable fagoting Is being em ployed by the milliner both in con nection with straw and with fabric. The little bow at the side on the hat portrayed is o f straw. Lacy straws distinguish the two other models shown. The dressy chapeau In the center has a fancy straw crown, a network of black and white horsehair forming the hrim. A band and underbrim bow o f black vel vet completes this model. Natural colored crocheted Tuscan straw Is mounted on a black horse hair cloche for the concluding hat. A Practical Belt. practical kind of belt that does not have to be released at nil when the front drop Is used. It Is shown In the accompanying illustration. The facing o f the back Is extended to the center front where It buttons securely, easily and attractively. Only one more button Is needed than when the facing stops at the side plackets. When the side buttons are set for ward no straps are needed for hold ing the belt In position. In this style o f trousers a front drop Is formed by slushing each side o f the front section to form slanting plackets. These openings are finished to simulate welt pockets and the but tons at the top o f each can he but toned without undoing the belt This general type o f trouser with a front drop hus been found excellent for the child who Is being trained to dress and undress himself.

Cracks In a new well-laid floor are the result o f a change In moisture content within the wood Itself. This change Is due to ltnpro|>er preliminary seasoning; Improper storage conditions at the mill or retail y a rd ; delivery of the flooring during wet weather or be fore the masonry or plaster walls are d r y ; or It may be due to the absorp tion of moisture from the air within the building either before or after the flooring is laid. The use of the heat ing plant nm.v he advisable, says the United States forest service, to main tain a temperature thnt will prevent excessive humidity In the building from the time the flooring is deliv ered until the house Is occupied.

As to the right hat for the right occasion than a wide brimmed black Milan, none other comes nearer to registering 100 per cent perfect. Wherefore the revival o f broad-of- brlm fine black Mllans for summer will be hailed with delight by tlie majority o f women. Tlie beauty about these flattering big brims o f fine, finer, finest Milan straw is that they top fluttery, sum mery cbiffons and other frocks as jj "W e are very, very shy,” said the flower. “ Yet, ail the flowers on each o f the button bush flowers are so shy that they want to keep away from people. "W e have been told we would make lovely garden flowers and that people would admire us. "They say we are so fragrant and sweet and that we are pretty to look at.” “ All o f which Is true,” said the In sect, making a low bow, and taking another little sip o f honey. "But somehow we love the swamps best. They are so quiet People don't come to the swamps so much, and we are so shy. People are nice, we haven't a doubt, but we like to be off by ourselves and so we always grow In the swamps where there are no houses, but where there are lots of Insects. “ We like Insects. They enjoy our de licious honey— for we can't help boast ing a little of our hooey, which every tiny flower has, and we like to give our honey to the Insects. “ We help them and they help us. W e all love each other. The Insects come to us because they hear of our rare honey and because we are so fragrant thnt they are drawn to us. “ But, little Insects, do not feel sad If the world doesn't see us. and be cause the world can't share with you our fragrance. "W e are shy, we have always been shy, and we will always he shy. "But the people In the world outside the swamps have many beautiful things to look at and enjoy and we want to help along the swamps which aren't always so nice. “ And we love to give banquets.

It Is still far from complete. First caine recognition of the fact that In natural food materials there Ixisted. In minute quantities, certain sub stances other than proteins, flits, car bohydrates and salts, which appeared to be essential for normal nutrition. Further Investigation showed that these substances, or vitamins, also prevented various pathological condi tions or “ deficiency diseases” Burly In the work these separate vitamins were Identified, snd called A. B. and C. Each one had functions peculiar to Itself. Several years later two more vitamins. D and E. were dls covered. Comparatively recentlj It has been found that another vitamin, named O. occurs In a great inanv foods which are also rich in vitamin B. The Identification o f vitamin (I was obscured for a long time heesuse o f this parallel occurrence. T bs fuucliuos of ths two vitamins differ. Vitnmlu B. prevents herl herl while vitamin <> prevents pellagra. An abundance of both vitamins Is essen tial for growth and well-being at all ages, hut particularly necessary fm nursing mothers and young children As hoth occur to a large extent In tlie same foods and In » very wide va rlet.v o f foods, a varied diet contain ing fruits and vegetables will iisuh II> he satisfactory In respect to these tw factors.
