FURRED HATS TO THE FORE; ALLOVER LACE HOLDS ITS OWN MF Mjjb ' ; C'-JI r wx. W >

THROUGH a bit of l feather or via a touch of fur, French milliners are conveying to a world wide clientele a ■convincing message of chic, .swank or style, call it what you will. The -nappy little feather trims of the now, bear slight resemblance to the ponderous feather embellishments of the yesteryears. Feather effects, such as impart a beguiling touch to the r odern hat, are brief ana to the point. The

little curlycues and novelties which sryiize th? modern hat leave much to the Imagination—which bespeaks their art. Included in the feathered groups are Just such artful models as the hat shown first in the above picture. In this instance pasted feather motifs arranged at each side of the modish tricorne brim sound an attractive •color no»e. To the right at the top a multicolored “question-mark” feather accents one of the new long-back brims which are so featured in the latest models. How eloquently expressive just one wee featner can be! Just a single tiny bright quill oa the upturned brim of the youthful felt hat centered at the right proclaims a compelling styletouch for this hat. As to fur on the chapeau the story is fascinating as milliners are now telling it. Most of the furs used are the flat type, the sort which are as easily manipulated as fabric. The ensemble idea calls for hats which repeat the fur of the coat, or of the furtrimming on the cloth coat or dress. Per example, if one’s new winter coat is a beige caracul there could be

Many of the most ravishing dine, dance and opera gowns of the season are fashioned of lace. A characteristic feature about lace is that it is sufficient unto itself. When a gown is made of lace, in almost every instance it is made just of lace. Lace challenges the designer to achieve beauty and style distinction through coin: and “lines.” without resorting to superfluous trimming de tails. The success of this theory of using lace, ami lace only, for the gown is charmingly illustrated by the model pictured below. The modeled silhouette of this dress emphasizes tne effectiveness of “lines.” It’s midnightblue coloring also gives it distinction and conveys a message of its French origin for in Paris the vogue for dark hues such as dahlia, Spanish red. maroon, dark green and brown for the formal evening gown is outstanding. Many a lace frock, especially the formal afternoon types, sponsor graceful cape effects which dip at the back. Another interesting detail is the tn»-

iero. A sleeveless lace gown made with a separate bolero of the same lace is well worth considering, for it does double duty, serving sans the bolero for the most formal evening occasion. Adding the bolero it is trans formed into a modish costume for aft ernoon bridge or matinee wear. The call for higher waistlines is met by designers who advocate wearing a narrow belt with the fitted-to-the-form princess frock. With the Iqce frock stylists suggest a wee belt made of velvet accurately matched to the color of the frock, with a glittering buckle to fasten it. Frequently the . very narrow belt is made of the lace Itself, in quite a tailored way, being neatly stitched and lined to give it firmness. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.)

complement to this or that—alongside of that deep, thrilling satisfaction that comes from knowing that one is well put together? New ideas in ensembllng break at the rate of about two a minute, it seems. Yet the pace is not too quick for those who make a pleasant, stimulating game of fashion. At the moment, the most energetic of the young ensemblists are exploiting the newest thought—the suit or frock with beret and short scarf to match.

GOLD IN | :: A TURKEY’S ! :: CROP f »»»•»♦♦»♦»»»»»»»*»»»<»»»»» <© by D. J. Walsh.) { ( /’""y OME—here to this — wild f country—for turkeys, but \ 7 are—not a turkey hunter,” mused the girl slowly, with something odd in her voice. “And you worked in a city market. Do you happen to know what a turkey crop is?” Sam stared and his voice was fully as odd as hers as he replied: “Y-es, why?” She studied him for some moments, then nodded her bead. “Yes. I’ll trust you,” she decided. “You don’t look like a thief. As I’ve heard my father say, suppose we ‘lay our cards on the table.’ ” She leaned her rifle against a tree, took a small box from her pocket and opened and extended it for Sam's inspection. “My name is Margaret Mossis.” she said. The box was nearly full of various sized grains of pure gold. Sam reached into his pocket and pulled out a buckskin bag, lessened the strings and passed it to her. “Looks as if they came from the same turkey.” he remarked, “and my name is Sam Holden. And I worked in the poultry section of the Chicago market.” The girl peered into the bag. “My! what a lot!” she exclaimed. “Just four crops.” Sam grinned. “And you found them in the market and came straight here to seek gold by hunting turkeys?” “No. just turkeys here, to get capital to seek gold at a place called Porcupine Hollow and along Sheep Range mountain. I’ve heard it’s there” “Strange how things come round,” she said. “Father and I hunted turkeys at those places. Porcupine and Sheep Range, nearly three years ago. But turkeys were scarce and we finally drifted up here.” “Didn’t see any signs of gold?” eagerly. “No, and don’t believe any gold is there. You see. we lost our home ) through—through debt. Then mother went to live with an uncle and father and I took to the woods. Father wasn’t a bit well and I refused to leave him. He had to be out of doors and we drifted into turkey hunting by accident, because we found there was money in it. “We had wonderful success here. I suppose we shipped those birds you found the gold in.” “You mean the gold came from here?” incredulously. The girl nodded. “But gold comes from rocky places, or in river sand washed down from such places.” “Maybe there are ledges under the surface of this flat scrub, or the gold washed here from elsewhere. Anyhow, it’s here.” “You know where? If you do it’s all yours, of course.” “I don’t know any more than you—only suspect. You see. turkeys were too valuable for us to eat. We wanted t<> accumulate enough to buy back our home if we could. 1 had a few snares to catch rabbits and quail to supply our meat, and shipped all our turkeys away alive. It was only a month or so ago that I killed our first turkey. Father was sick and I wanted something extra good. I found the gold in that one’s crop. Soon after we had to go away for a while, so we couldn’t scratch for the gold. 1 got back only this morning.” “That’s why 1 haven’t seen either of you.” commented Sam. “Well, I shall try to see your father tomorrow.” The girl picked up her rifle abruptly. “I must be going now,” she said in a low voice. "It’s getting late. Goodnight.” Sam did not see her again until he was at the train the next day shipping twenty-four turkeys he had caught that morning. She slipped from the scrub as a lot of empties were being thrown from the train. “Here you are,” Sam called as he saw her, “about a dozen traps and more crates. You take ’em all. And I’m shipping off a dozen birds apiece. Been too busy to hunt gold. But I’ll do that the rest of the day and keep it up.” “I’ve been hunting since daylight,” said the girl wearily. “Not a vestige of color And yet I know there is gold here, for that bird was caught with its crop full. But the scrub contains miles and miles of land alike.” "One of us will find It yet, all right,” asserted Sam confidently, “even if we have to learn turkey language, and ask ’em.” The girl shook her head. “I shall stay here only two more days, for a last chance,” she declared. “I shot the fateful turkey about two miles northwest from here, and have been all over that ground this morning.

Double-Edged Ax Goes Back to Pliocene Age

For some years past I have noticed a tendency in some rostro-carinate flint implements to possess the wellknown beaklike termination at either end of the specimen, writes J. Reid Moir in the London Times. I have thus been on the lookout for an example exhibiting these characteristics in a clearly defined manner, and I am now able to announce the discovery of such rfn implement. When the specimen Is examined it Is seen to possess, at either end, a well-made and definite beak, and Is so flaked that the dorsal or upper surface of one becomes, when the implement is rotated, the ventral or lower surface of the other, and vice versa. This double-ended rostro-carinate, which, may in a manner be likened to the double-edged ax of early Mionan times, was evidently made to fulfill some special purpose, and is a quite remarkable example of the intelligence and skill in flint flaking, of Pliocene man. The discovery of the rostro-carinate. or beakllko flint in-

travel a long way,’ though, and that one may have filled his crop miles away. I shall go back to the city.” “Then your father must be better. Pm glad of that. But I do hate the thought of your giving up the gold just when the scent seems getting warmer.” “It might be a year, or ten, before it’s found. And I’ve been here over two now. 1 couldn’t stand any more. The eleven traps are all I can manage. You keep all yours.” She picked up a trap in each hand and started for the scrub. Sam sprang forward. “Let me carry them,” he entreated. “Nonsense. They weigh only a few pounds apiece, you know. I can handle them easily.” He did not see her until late the second day. Most of the intervening time he had spent in gold-seeking, and was now over five miles from the railroad. At length, discouraged, he threw himself on the ground with a grunt of disgust. “Feel as bad as that?” a girl’s voice queried. He peered round some shrubs. Margaret was sitting on the ground not ten feet away. “Worse.” he answered, as he rose and joined her. “I’m suppressing most | of it. And I’m beginning to believe I those birds must have made flying visits off to Sheep Range for the gold.” “No, it’s here somewhere,” she insisted. “Though I’m through. Look yonder!” A rabbit, sitting a dozen feet away, j regarded them wisely. Sam dropped : a hand to the ground, and began to , finger round for a small stone. But as his hand rose, she clutched I it frantically. "Oh, look! look!” she cried. “At what, the rabbit?” that was scurrying away at sound of her voice. “No, your hand.” He looked, and gasped. The stone was a piece of gold as large as a walnut. “G-o-s-h!” he exclaimed. “I’ve heard the god Fate is blind. I believe It now.” They were both on their feet by this time, their eyes searching the ground swifty. Sam saw another nugget, smaller, glistening In the sun. Then the girl found three. In an hour they had a dozen or more each, some hardly large enough to be seen. i “Notice the long depression we’re in.” said the girl, as she straightened up and studied the surroundings thoughtfully. “I wouldn’t wonder if it was some ancient river-bed. There are a lot of small sink-hole springs through the scrub. One near here. Perhaps it’s a drinking place for turkeys, after which they peck about. The bits of gold attract their attention. Well, it’s getting too dark to see, so I’ll go on to camp.” “Not leaving in the morning, I suppose?” asked Sam, jocularly. “Not for a few days,” smiled the girl. “I shall be here at daylight.” “Find me right on the spot.” During the next ten days they saw a good deal of each oher, and at the ■ end of it they met at the track, to flag I the train when it Each had a comfortable little buckskin bagV filled with something, which each held X carefully concealed so it should not ■ be conspicuous on the train. Soon Sam began to look uneasy. “Why doesn’t your father come?” he asked at length. “Pretty near train time. He wouldn’t want to be left. Shall I go and—” “No, father is dead,” the voice striving to keep from breaking. “He died a few days after 1 shot the turkey, and when I went away it was to take his body home. We—we had been expecting it for over a year v though it was none the less hard when it came. I returned to look after his papers and the crates consigned to my care, and of course with some little hope of finding gold.” A shrill whistle was heard in the distance. Sam stepped to the middle of the track. “What are you expecting to do, Margaret?” he asked—“if xop don’t mind telling.” “Go straight to the city and enter a four-years’ college course,” promptly. “I’m pretty old for it, eighteen, but my education has been neglected roaming round with father, and I want to make it up. 1 shall rent a suite of rooms nearby for mother.” “And buy back your home?” “Os course, but will let the present people live In it till I get through college. What are your plans, Sam?” “Haven’t any, much. I shall send a big sum to astonish my folks, first, then—but say,” as a new thought seemed to flash to his mind, “I never thought much about real schooling, because there never seemed any possible chance for It. I’ve taught myself some, hit and miss. But nowdo you know of any nice college for overgrown boys who shave?” “There’s said to be a splendid one five miles from my town.” “Fine I I’m going straight there and enter for a four-years* course.” He stepped off the track as the train rattled up and then helped the girl on board.

struments was made by me below the Red crag of Suffolk in 1909. As, however, their characteristics have become recognized they have been, as would be expected, found in other parts of this country, while in recent years splendid examples, made of quartzite, have been discovered in Uganda. They occur also in the important series of ancient flint implements brought back from Palestine, while only the other day I received from Bulawayo a cast of a small and excellently made ros-tro-carinate found in Rhodesia. Not only is the wide distribution of this type of Implement thus now established, but its relationship to the later hand-axes of Paleolithic times, which I described before the Royal society in 1917, is equally manifest and widespread.

MIW TURKEY RAISING SHOULD DEVELOP Survey Reveals Industry One of Most Profitable. That “turkey production in the West should become one of the major farm enterprises if economic conditions remain as good as they have been during the past three years” is the belief of F. B. Headley, chief of the department of farfn development of the University of Nevada agricul tural experiment station. Basis for his conclusion, Headley says, is a cost of production study carried on by his department during the last three years on five farms in Churchill county. Other profitable enterprises on the farms surveyed, according to the experiment station man, were alfalfa production, dairying and the raising of chickens, but turkeys brought in greater return for capital and labor expended. Cost of producing the average turkey, which weighed 13 pounds dressed, on the basis of more than 5,000 birds covered by the study, was $3.52, or approximately 27 cents a pound. “The bulk of the cost in producing turkeys is for feed.' Headley says. “On most farms pasture constitutes an essential part of the ration and it is probable that the low cost of production is due in large part to the excellent alfalfa and grain stubble pasture that has been available.” Other conclusions concerning turkey production drawn by Headley from the survey are that the interest on investment is low, that “large flocks require less time per bird than the smaller flocks, and that over 75 per cent of all costs is for labor and feed.” Popularity of Frozen Eggs Fast Increasing While at one time practically all eggs kept in Pennsylvania cold storage warehouses were “in shell,” several million pounds of eggs “out of shell” have been- reported in storage each year during the past few years, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. On June 30, 1928, the cold storage report for the state showed 4,657.000 pounds of eggs out of shell in storage, just ten times more than were in storage on the corresponding date in 1914. The increasing popularity of the frozen eggs is explained by the bureau of markets as follows: “In the spring when eggs are plentiful, surplus eggs are purchased by breaking establishments which break and place the eggs in containers to be frozen as whole eggs, egg yolks, or egg whites for the use of the baking industry. After being frozen solid, the eggs are kept at a temperature ranging from zero to five degrees below. These are then made available to bakers at any time during the year. Many bakers report that these eggs give the most satisfactory results when kept in a frozen condition for about three months.” Well-Ventilated House Needful During Winter A warm poultry house that will help to keep egg production high during the winter-months must be well ventilated, says Prof. E. R. Gross, agricultural engineer at the New Jersey experiment station, New Brunswick, To maintain a warm, well-ventilated henhouse three-things are needed, advises Professor Gross: Tight walls, doors, and windows; ventilating flues, which may be constructed of wood at a low cost, and limited overhead space. To make the building tight, close all the cracks, cover the outside walls with roll rooting, or ceil the inside walls. Reduce the air space by ceiling overhead or by constructing a straw loft. Ventilation and warmth go together. If the house is tightly built and has all doors and windows closed, the birds will give off heat enough to raise the inside temperature considerably above that on the outside. But when the house is tightly closed, moisture will begin to accumulate and the air become stale. Ventilation is needed, therefore, to carry away the moisture and to bring in fresh air. Disappointment Sure Compounding the ration of the laying hen, particular attention should be paid to the inclusion of the necessary vitamins. Yellow corn and green feeds provide much of vitamirf A. Vitamin B is carried in wheat, corn, green feeds, alfalfa meal, alfalfa leaf flour and others. Vitamin D, or its equivalent, is supplied by making use of direct sunshine or by resorting to cod liver oil, the latter 'being an outstanding source of this most essential substance. Keep Ground Clean Clean and fresh ground may be made available by moving the house or houses to new ground each year, or by having a regular rotation of sown crops. Sanitary ground is particularly necessary in the handlings of all chicks and growing stock. All poultry runs should be disced and planted with oats, rye. wheat or similar crops. Discing or plowing «>nce a year is not sufficient for best results. Comfortable House s A comfortable house does not mean a warm house, but it does mean a dry house, a house where no moisture adheres to the walls. If a house is damp, the dampness comes from without or within or both. That from without is due to lack of drainage and will be considered under location, that from within may come no matter how dry the location. It is sometimes hard to determine the cause, but it may be due to too many birds to the size of the pen, to lack of ventilation.

A Village in American Samoa.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society. Washington. D. C.) THREE stops among the South Sea islands will give a thumbnail view of the forces that have played and are playing about those bits of land that have al ways held a fascination to travelers from the lands of Western civilization The first port of call may well be Tai-O-Hai, which has oeen described as a | “port of tragedy.” Situated at the innermost point of a horseshoe bay which furnishes a tea sonably well protected harbor, Tai-O- --: Hai once gave promise of being a Pacific metropolis, a rival, perhaps, to Papeete, Tahiti, 750 miles to the southwest. Tho town, on Nukahiva, largest of the Marquesas islands, is listed as the administrative seat of the French government of the Marquesas; but the honor is a hollow one. for the Marquesans are rapidly dying off. The hundred thousand or more who peopled the eleven islands a century ago have dwindled to 3,000 or 4.000. I When France took the Islands over I In 1824 the future seemed rosy to the white settlers who went there. The | Islands teemed with superlatively healthy, brawny natives. The rain fall was abundant and vegetation grew rankly. Dreams of exceedingly productive coconut, cotton and vanilla plantations filled the heads of French adventurers Tai-O-Hai was built with these dreams in mind, and stores, inns, churches, schools, and another accompaniment of civilization—a jail i —sprang up. But things did not work out as had been expected. The Marquesans did not care to becotpe plantation tabor ers. They had led lives of ease, spending their time in Idleness. In gathering nature’s fruits and in war among themselves. Some unscrupulous planters tried rum and opium as in ducements to labor. They brought a certain temporary success, but they helped to bring a speedy “nd to all hope for the survival of the Mar quesan people. To drunkenness and soddenness were soon added the white man’s diseases—diseases which meant little to civilizations of America and Europe that had become largely tm mune to them, but which carried off the islanders like flies. Tai-O-Hai. which had waxed, as quickly waned. To-day less than 150 people live in the village and there is only a handful of whites. The once populous valleys back in Nukahiva have been abandoned to the rank growth Papeete a Lively Town. I Next one may sail to Papeete, the • chief port of Tahiti, metropolis of the southwestern Pacific, “the Honolulu of I the South.” Because of its positfbn almost midway between Panama and New Zea land, and its reasonable distance—as South sea distances go—from Samoa, the Marquesas and Hawaii. Papeete is a sort of ocean crossroads, and its cosmopolitan aspect never fails to impress visitors. On its wharves and in its streets one encounters vanilla and coconut planters; traders— French, British and American, en gaged in every "line ’ conceivable from copra and silk stockings to fertilizer and pearls; sea captains and shipping agents: French officials (for Papeete is the capital of the French Pacific); missionaries; natives; the ever-pres-ent Chinaman; and the nondescript beach-comber. ■ Papeete may be “far from civiliza tion” from the viewpoint of the stay-at-home, but the palate of the visitor to Papette certainly will not suffer for delectable food. In the bustling port town with its 2.000 French residents, some of them competent chefs, one may find viands that would not be amiss in the restaurants of the Rue de la Paix —from vin rouge, through poulet roti to case moir. And if he wishes native food he may fare well on coconut-fed pig roasted whole, fish with coconut sauce, shrimp, baked i banana, and baked breadfruit, the latI ter with a texture like very fine cheese and an indescribable, mildly pleasant flavor. For desert he will have oranges, pineapples and various tropical fruits. The most ambitious sight-seeing trip In Tahiti is a circuit of the Islands by horse-drawn vehicle, along the

Boys Taught to Cook Boys as well as girls should learn how to cook. That, at least. Is the opinion of the school authorities in Halle, in central Germany, and so they have extended the instructions in the noble culinary art in public schools to the boy pupils of the upper classes. The course is optional for boys, but if it proves successful It will be made a regular part of the school program. The reason given for

Or one may push up one of the many valleys over trails that skirt swift streams and plunge it rough tunnels of verdure to a mountain top. If one climbs for the view, t owever tfie rime must be well chosen, for clouds shnmd the mountain summits a large part of the time. The most novel sightseeing trip is made in a small boat to the coral reefs where, through water crystal clear, one may look down upon a beautiful under-sea garden of weird and beautiful growths among which dart brilliantly colored fishes. Pago Pago’s Wonderful Harbor. For the third stopping place, one should visit Pago Pago, capital of American Samoa, which Is the only bit of American soil that lies south of the Equator. Pago Pago practically fell into the lap of- a none too willing America, while various powers were seeking island territory in the Pacific. But if the entire South seas had been combed with all the other nations standing deferentially by. a better location for a naval base hardly could have been chosen. Most South sea harbors are little more than crescent bays, protected by coral reefs, their safety largely dependent on the direction of the wind. At Pago Pago ships sail into the heart of a t uge exrinct volcanic crater, only a narrow entrance open to the Sea. Furthermore, there is a sharp turn inside, the whole hhrbor being shaped much like th, ankle and foot of a stocking. The United States naval station is situated on the “instep.” its back toward the sea. hut with high mountains intervening. Pago Pago town lies at the "toe.” Most of the anchorage is entirely out of sight of the sea, and the ships lie in deep placid water even when destructive gales are blowing Outside. Giving Pago Pago the premier place among‘South sea havens does not do it justice. Many famous harbors are more commodious; but it is hardly too much to say tha’ Pago Pago is at once one of the safest and most beautiful harbors in the world. A narrow strip of level land rims the harbor. Immediately beyond this strip the sides rise up steeply to motm-“ tainous heights, the siopipg walls covered with varying shades of green, tropical vegetation. In addition to the naval station and Pago Pago town, three or four villages nestle close to the water’s edge around the harbor, their thatched huts half hidden by coconut palms. The harbor of»>Pago Pago almost cuts the Island of Tutuila In two. This is the largest isle of American Samoa, 17 miles long and about 5 miles wide. The other American islands lie about 60 miles to the east. Only (me. Tau. about 5 miles in dyirneter, is of importance, though two smaller isles are inhabited. Altogether the population of American Samoa is about 8.000 some 6.000 residing on Tutuila. American Samoa has been little spoiled by the civilization of the mother country, or that of other whites. Few whites reside in the islands besides the small group of missionaries and the officers, mm and nurses at the navai station. < mly one plantation is owned by a white man and only three or four whites have leaseholds. Practically th* entire surface of the islands is owned in small tracts by individual natives. Thd United States even bought from individual landlords the 40 acres needed for its naval establishment. ’ - Unnecessary A school inspector was shocked at the untidy condition ol the boys. He gave a little lecture to some of the older ones. "Don’t you think,” he said, “it would be a good thing if yov brushed your hair sometimes? Every morning.” ne added, “I brush mine, and I have no doubt your headmaster does the same.” One or two of the boys began to snigger. The inspector looked over his shoulder fcr the moral support of the headmaster, and found, to his horror, that he was as bald as a billiard bait

this measure is the desire of the boys to know how to wield spoons and pans during their long hikes when they camp out and prepare their own food.
