FRESH AIR I

LEATHER COAT FOR MOTORIST

The first three months of the year

are the months that demand eflicient

jpoultry house ventilation if the stock its to be healthy and if egg production 'is to be kept at a maximum, according

to tho poultry authorities at the New York state, college of agriculture.

Prodf of insufllclont ventilation usually is found in damp or frosted walls, damp litter, close or Impure air, flock, with consequent low winter egg production. Tho body of the hen con

stantly gives off moisture, and this 'accumulates uidess there is enough (movement of the air to carry it away.

Dampness fosters colds, and when a

rnhl is contracted, the body is too

weak to resist the attack of a con

tagious disease such as roup. It is stated further that the house

should at no time be tightly closed.

rrhe exercise of judgment, and a few

trials, will show how much to leave

jthe windows open at night. W mdows 'should be removable so that they caa hp rnkon out durine the day. if it is

not storming. Experience indicates that the birds will uot suffer from the

cold if they are not in a draft, if they are kept working, and if they arc not

overfed.

Plenty of air, may best Aye had by tilting windows in at the top, as this will not let In the rain nr put drafts directly on the floor. There should

be a wide board at each edge of the

window to keep the rain out; a strip

of wood, sash-plug, or nail on this

istrip will hold the window at any

desired angle. Both upper and lower

sash, where there are two, should be arranged In this way to get the best

circulation.

Origin of the Ukulele.

There are 20,000 Portuguese in the

'Hawaiian islands, and it is charged

that these people, and not the natives, are responsible for the ukulele. It has long been a matter of common knowledge that the instrument was introduced into the islands by a Portuguese, but that is not really the question of greatest moment. So long as the ukulele was confined to Hawaii it Kvas almost as harmless as a banjo, the guitar, or the mandolin. Nobody (then had a word to say against it. The point that needs to be celared up is: (Where lies the responsibility for introducing it, not into Hawaii, but Into the United States? Christian Science Monitor.

Textile Tests to Ascertain

If Cloth Is Adulterated or

Misrepresented in Any Way

The laws of this country offer no protection to the purchaser of materials. Therefore to protect themselves, women should know a few practical tests to determine the content and value of materials. The object in making these tests is to discover If cloth Is adulterated, artificially dressed or mlsrep esented In anyway. rhe following tests from Extension Circular 41, Principles of Sewing, University of Missouri college of agriculture, Columbia, may be used In any home : 1. If the water is dropped on cotton and linen goods, the moisture spreads, the moisture spreads rapidly on linen but will remain unabsolved on the cotton for some time. This Is not always a safe lest as cotton

and linen are often heavily sized with dressing, which prevents the water from being absorbed.

2. A much safer test may be made hv dronniiur glycerine on cotton and

linen. Linen will become transparent, hut cotton will not be nffecled.

3. Crush ns cotton and linen ma

terials in the hands will show the dif

Terence in the materials, as linen

wrinkles more than cotton.

4. Cotton and wool mixtures when I moistened wrinkle more than pure wool materials.

Material may be tested by pullout threads and examining the

ends. Cotton fibers are short with fuzzy ends, while linen fibers are long, with uneven ends, usually pointed. Wool fibers are short, kinky and stiff; fibers of reeled silk are long, straight and lustrous, while fibers of spun silk are short and easily broken. G. Sizing may be discovered by nibbing the material between the hands to see if the dressing will come out. Washing will also remove dressing. 7. Each fiber has a characteristic bjjrning test which may be easily distinguished. a. Cotton burns Quickly with flame. b. Linen burns like cotton, but is

not inflammable, as it has less oil in the fiber and 'less air in the woven cloth. c. Wool burns slowly, giving off

combined in those simple syllables "serge dress" and it is this that is expected to be even more popular on the dress- bill of fare than ever before observes a New York fashion correspondent. Manufacturers aud buyers of dresses say that because of tho spirit of economy that prevails this

type of frock will be bound to bo popular, and for this reason they are looking forward to a large demand for these dresses among the ready-made output for the spring. More than any war uniform or any Ingeniously devised reversible, convertible frock this serge frock will serve as the most popular war-time getup. One very nice thing about tho sergo dress Is that it always looks economical even if as a matter of fact it Is not, and to look very expensively dressed these days Is not tho aim of most women. The mere man who sees !b well-dressed woman neatly f rocked hi a smart blue sergo dress will mentally register his approval of her economical and, therefore, patriotic dressing. Perhaps the goods for the dress cost $8 a yard for the best quality of blue serge Is no longer inexpensive and perhaps the dress all In all cost 100. Stilt it looks simple, it is eminently serviceable and it does not look extravagant. Had the same woman worn a Charmeuse of georgette and

chiffon frock worth only half that amount the man would think her extravagantly dressed and therefore no true patriot. Tho simple blue serge frock docs not have to be expensive in order to be attractive. But It must be well made. Any good dressmaker or a reliable tailor can put such a dress together, provided the model for It is suitable to the figure for which It is intended. However, although great attention must be given to the fit, the dress should not In one sense of the word flt at all, even if It Is to be worn by a woman of ample girth. The charm of that style of dress lies in its hang and cut, but It should not touch the figure. It should follow It faithfully, but hang slightly free from It to be most attractive.

Ten Rules for Householders To Obtain Greatest Heating Efficiency and to Save Coal The cflicieney with which the householder operates his heating plant depends mainly upon the type of furnace and the conditions under which It is installed and operated. In the interests of fuel conservation during the present extension division, co-operating with the state council of defense, puts out the following suggestion : 1. The base of the heater must be tight and must make an air-tight connection with the lloor so that no air

can leak into the ash pit. 2. The chimney and all connections into it must be tight. A burning match or candle held close to all joints will indicate leaks.

3. The chimney should be high enough. The top should be at least 2 feet above around surrounding objects. 4. The smoke pipe from the furnace to the chimney should be straight, short, and should grade up to the chimney. ;". The grates must not be warped, must move easily and should have no holes or broken places for unburned coal to drop through. 6. All basement piping, heater sur faces and smoke pipes should be covered with asbestos covering. 7. A shut-off di mpor should be provided In the smoke pipe to control the intensity of the chimney draft and a

CREPE BLOUSE FOR SPRING

i

In making one's own clothes there

are many little points about which one

needs advice things which give a

more finished appearance, and do away with the home-made look that Is apt

to be the result of amateur work.

For instance, says a writer In Good

Housekeeping, wherever stitching is

visible, such as on the cuffs, collar and bottom of the skirt, do it by hand, and

an exceptionally good way to finish the

bottom of a suit of heavy material is

not to turn In the edge of the hem,

but to leave the raw edge on the un-

iWnnnrh sirlr nnd finish It With a

feather stitch on the wrong side; care must be taken to make the stitches In

visible on the right side. This looks so much better than the usual machine

stitching which is very often used for finishing the hem. The lining for a suit should be made separately and fitted to the figure just the same as the coat itself. When it is sewed into the coat, it will be neither too large nor too small. If an interlining is necessary for the waist of the coat, outing fiannel is good. In getting a skirt to hang straight, the best results can be obtained by first putting the skirt on to regular skirt banding, which can be bought by the yard. For a one-piece dress, detachable collars and cuffs of linen, organdie, or satin, add greatly, and are easilv made and washed.

True to Tradition. An English, Irish and Scottish soldier were returning to camp after a stroll. They were footsore and tired, and a kindly farmer on his way home from market gave them a lift on tho road. The soldiers were very grateful and wished to reward the farmer for his kindness. Said the Englishman: "Let's stand him a drink 1" "Sure," said Pat, "that Is agin the law. Leet's give him some baccy." "Iloot, ma laddies!" Interjected the Scot. "Don't be extravagant. Let's shake hands with the mon and wish him good nicht." Tit-Bits.

Bee Farmers Declare Honey Has the Food Value of Meat

A pound of honey or a pound of sirloin steak which shall it be? That there i? as" much fond value in one as

I in another has been proved at the bet jfarm at the University of Wisconsin I To ennsize the importance of pro

moting beekeeping in Wisconsin as a

profitable business pursuit, the umversitv extends its endeavors to the bee

keepers of the state, in addition to the

instruction given the students.m agri culture in classes.

Wisconsin annually produces about

1.500 tone of choice honey, but the bee

keeping industry has not advanced to

the point of recognition as a distinct specialized branch of agriculture, although much of the undeveloped land in Wisconsin and most of the present cultivated land is not occupied as bee pasture, a majority of It offers opportunity for excellent bee "locations."

There is sn indescribable something about this blouse, which wins your heart at once. The blouse is perfectly mado in blue and white-striped Japanese crepe. It is a. handmade blouse, and that' is the reason for its perfection. The white-linen stock, cuffs and collar are other reasons for the beauty. The bonnet is a handsome model- just about the size that will be popular during the spring and summer months. The band of flowers around the crown is the only trimming.

Retribution. It. D. Cooper, president of the Dairymen's league, said at a banquet in New York : "Farmers should marry. A bachelor farmer is a solecism. No farmer, though, should marry a wife as he buys a tractor for the work he can get out of her." Mr. Cooper smiled. "The farmer who marries," he ended, "thinking he can do nothing without a wife, Is apt to discover afterward that he can do nothing with her."

Newrs comes that one of the latest developments for war time fashions will be frocks of simple calico, says Women's Wear. Some of the smart

est houses which specialize In gar- . t !

meats tor women wnose nappiness impends on being chic are creating models in this fabric which certainly before all else should appeal to the war economy instinct. Women have been -warned to conserve wool and to go lightly as to silk, so naturally when they are offered garments of so humble a fabric they will believe they are demonstrating their patriotism by accepting it and a calico frock will be the reward of virtue. The calicoes that are engaging the attention of designers at the present moment are those of quaint printed effects on light grounds. It appears that many of the frocks will be given a certain lightness not expected of calico by combination with sheerer fabrics such as organdie and

net and that the extreme of femininity

and quaintness will give them a dis

tinction of their own which will not

permit them to be scorned by even the

most exclusive of fashionable women.
