Af vmrA Snmmer is eominr some day and a few of U3 like to think about- her end brecare for her. And a
wonderful "preparedness note" is this dress of oyster white silk serge, whose glinting satin-like surface falls in sim
1 vet smart lines. The sleeves are of Georgette and the tiny buttons are of pale coral. With it are worn a hat
and narasol under which any woman ought to look young and beautiful. The outer "coating"' of the parasol Is won
derful soft burgundy. And through it glints the softer rose of the inside layer. A!! along the edge of this wonderful
chiffon sunshade are loops of velvet baby ribbon shading from burgundy to (ho new roue Paris called "heart of the rose" and then on to coral. The hat is of the burgundy and the tiny ribbon loops run riot over it in a flower gard
en mass.
HOLLAND BALKS ON ALL ARMED VESSELS
(By Associated Press) THE HAGUE, Via London, March 23. The Handelsblad of Amsterdam says today that the rumor has reached it that Holland has refused the request of the United States for the admission of American armed merchantmen to Dutch ports and that consequently the Dutch harbors will be closed to American and British ships. "The government," and the newspaper, "will assume a great responsibility whiever way the decision may fall. The government seems to believe
Germany would interpret as an unfriendly act any decision on cur part by which we would come into line -with international usages, the justice of which Germany recognized before ths war." Fear of reprisals by the United States or Great Britain now or after the war is expressed by the newspaper, but the Dutch government, it declares, must do only what justice and the Interests of the Netherlands dictate.

Length, six Inches. Our smallest woodpecker; spotted with black and white. Dark bars on the outer, tail feathers distinguish it from the similarly colored but larger hairy wood pecker. Range: Resident in the United States and the forested parts of Canada and Alaska. Habits and economic status: This woodpecker is commonly distributed, living in woodland tracts, orchards, and gardens. The bird has several characteristic notes, and, like the hairy woodpecker, Is fond of beating on a dry resonant tree branch a tattoo which to appreciative ears has the quality of woodland music. In a hole excavated In a dead branch the downy woodpecker lays four to six eggs. This and the hairy woodpecker are among our most valuable allies, their food consisting of some of the worst foes of orchard and woodland, which the woodpeckers are especially equipped to dig out of dead and living wood. In the examination of 723 stomachs of this bird, animal food, mostly insects, was found to constitute 76 per cent of the diet and vegetable matter 24 per cent The animal food consists largely of beetles that bore into timber or burrow uader the bark. Caterpillars amount to IS per cent of the food and Include many especially harmful species. Grasshopper eggs are freely eaten. The vegetable food of the downy woodpecker consists of small fruit and seeds, most ly of wild species. It distributes seeds of poison ivy, or poison oak, which is about the only fault of this very useful bird. - ... - i
