THE 8EMIAVEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. r- to ifflOLWinr limn III" Mi SQUABS L Combination of Silk and Crepe EXPERIENCE OF THOSE WHO RAISE 3 HEAD OF GREAT INSTITUTION J y, A llttlo silk goos a long way when It Is milled four times about a full skirt of cropo or chiffon. Tho com bination is a favorite which achieves now triumphs in this elegnnt after noon frock, it has several small pe culiarities that give it o flavor entire ly out of the ordinary. One of them 1b evident in tho bodice, which looks like a coatee of Mlk wih drop shoul ders, and another appears in the full ness of tho corded ruffle and tho way in which thoy are set on in two groups. Between these groups, hardly discern ible In tho picture, ther is an added decoration. Dow-knot lr.otifs of nar row black laco insertion are set to the underside of the chiffon, since fashion refuses to countenanco a lack of ornament where there is siiace to carry it. Tho coateo, or bodice, has a V shaped neck and fasten r) to ono sido in double-breasted effect. Its peplum is a more plaited frill at the sides and back headed by n narrow bolt of tho silk which does not extend across tho front. There are fou small prettily decorated buttons of class at tho front. Tho Bleovos of chiffon are long full puffs that reach below tho elbow and they are sot into p wido flaring cuff finished with a ruche It will bo Admits of Quick For a modoratoly abundant supply of natural hair tho coiffure pictured abovo is a pretty arrangoment that may bo dressed without tho help of a foundation. Tho front hair is waved rath or loosely for it, and pompadoured. All the hair is combed in together and brought to the crown, rrhero It is tied loosely. With tho comb It is pulled Into position about tho face and pinned with small wiro hairpins. Tho ends at tho crown aro turned into u puff and pinned down. Tho hair is then spread and pulled forward un til it merges Into tho pompadour, whero It Is held In ?laco with pins, making a long soft putt at tho top of tho crown. Having becomo accustomed to in novations a few now arrangements have found following among tho younger womon. In theso the hair is loosoly waved, parted either in tho middle or to ono side, and collod bo low tho crown In Hat colls pinned close to the head. Short curls are pinned yVa L noticed that they aro snaped to bag over tho elbow and that tho cuff is cut to correspond with this shape. The narrow ruffles aro mado to stand out from the skirt by tho cord ing at their hems, and tbey are fulled over a cord also. Tho frock Is slmplo but original, showing an Ingenious handling of the modes It presents many advantages to tho woman who may wish to remodol a dress mado of a thin material, as volhi, organdio or marquisette. The small coateo of taf feta and tho taffc.a rufllnp will go well with these and with heavier materials, or tho finer laco llouncmgs may bo used for tho skirt. Ituchcs of tnuV.a frayen out at tho edges are used on many new models i gowns and coats and on negligees. In light-colored changeable taffeta tho effect Is vciy pretty when tho edges aro frayed and tho box-plalted ruchlng mado very full. Other silk will servo lor coateo and ruffles in making a frock like tho one pictured. The corded edges will give the right set to tho ruffles, oven In a soft silk or satin. In cast; ono wishes to use a material of this kind already on hand. Dut if ;ow material Is to be bought it might as well be taffeta; Its crlspnoss is an advantage Hairdressing in the colls at the sides or at tho back. Thoy reach to tho napo of tho neck. Tho small foundation or cushion mado of hair Is a very practical help in hairdressing. Now switches mado in three parts provo very useful, ulso, as they aro separable and tho separate strands may bo pinned In wherever re quired. Better results como from using small hair pieces rather than too much, eveij whon the natural hair Is thin. A llttlo additional hair, If per fectly matched, makes tho possessor ready for any occasion. Tho advan tage of tho hair foundation rests in tho fact that It kcops tho hair in plnco by supporting tho coiffure. Seventy languages are said to ' Bpoken In tho ancient city of Tiills, In Russia. -7 John's college. Doctor Maclaurin spent ten montliB In tho United States in 1890 and 1897, studying and visiting educational Institutions, and thon returned to England, this time to study law. Ho was appointed In 1898 professor of mathematics of tho University of Now Zealand, became a trusteo of tho uni versity and took nn actlvo part in tho organization of technical education In tho colony. Ho was dean of tho faculty of law in tho university for four years. In 1907 ho was invited to Columbia university as professor of mathematical physics, and a yenr later was made head of tho department of physics. On November 23, 1908, Doctor Maclaurln was appointed by tho Corporation of Technology to bo president of tho institute SHAFFROTH BOOSTS SUFFRAGE If tho women of Amorica over havo an opportunity to voto for Sena tor Shafforth of Colorado, his oppon ent Is likely to bo snowed under, for ho has mado himself mighty popular with tho equal suffragists. Urging tho adoption of tho Susan B. Anthony amendment in tho sonato recently, ho delivered some hard blows at tho tyr anny of tho male box. In tho formation of tho republic, ho declared, new principles of govern ment wore put forth, ono of which was that all men wcro created equal in rights and that man was ontitlcd to life, liberty and tho pursuit of happi uesB as inalienable- rights. "Whllo men of our republic ac knowledge these principles of govern ment," ho saidi "as applicable to all mon, many rofuso to recognize, them as nppllcablo to womon. Thoy cling to their powor like tho monarchs and tho aristocracy clung to theirs. Thoy invoke divino right of sex as tho monarcliB assorted divine right of kings. "Tho arrogance with which men assort that women have a sphoro to which thoy should bo conilned must bo irritating to women of thought and action. Who gave man the right to detcrmlno woman's sphoro without oven consult ing her?"

As tho editor and publisher of tho only polyglot Journal in exlstenco Mr. Appleton spent much timo in foreign travel, and his gifted dnughtor is conversant with tho languages of most of tho European countries, Bpeaklng oven tho dTflicult Serbian tongue with fluency. To aid her work financially sho has transcribed nnd published somo of tho beautiful folk songs of Serbia. This has nover beforo been done, as tho soups of the people of that land aro not written down, but aro passed on vocally from one generation to another. WHEN DODD DEFIED 4,000 Col. Georgo A. Dodd, tho leader ot tho cavalry detachment which rodo C5 miles in 17 hours and smashed Villa's command near Guerrero, gave Now York city, back in 1897, a glimpso ot his determined cliaractor. A military carnival had been arranged and tho government consented to Bend to it Troop F of tho Third U. S. cavalry, famous for Its startling feats of horse manship, which was commanded by Captain Dodd. General Miles ordered Captain Dodd to proceed to Madison Square garden with his men from their quarters at Fort Ethan Allen, But as soon as public announce ment was mado that Captain Dodd vould bo accorded a public reception on Sunday with a military escort, tho Uocloty for tho Observance of tho Sab bath Law protested, holding that tho stato law prohibited parades on Sun day. Goneral Carroll telegraphed to Captain Dodd that tho pollco might interfero with his troop's parading. "How many policemen aro there in town?" Captain Dodd wired to General Carroll. "Four thousand," was tho telegraphic response. "Wo havo 62 men in Troop F," Dodd. "Wo will report in MadlBon Square garden on Sunday morning." And they did, President Richard Cockburn Mac laurln, about whom tjio dedication ox orclscs of tho now buildings of tho MasBachusotts Institute of Technology on Juno 12, 13 and 14 will center, has tho distinction which will bo appre ciated by businesslike Amorlcans that ho has llnanccd tho construction of tho now edifices. This means that ho has secured gifts of about nlno million dol lars nnd at tho samo tlino has carried forward tho educational program of tho iustltuto without doparturo from its high standards. President Maclaurln was bom in Edinburgh in 1870. His early boyhood was spent in Now Zealand, wlienco ho rotumed to England to comploto his preliminary education. In 1892 ho entered tho University of Cambridge, taking two degrees, 11. A. and M. A., tho thesis work for tho latter being most advancod mathomatlcs. On grad uation ho was elected a follow of St. A young woman stood in a largo drawing room In Washington nnd talked to a group of men and women about a work for which Bho asked tholr aid. She looked very girlish to bo deoply engrossod in a great inter national wolfaro movement. This young woman was Mlsa Caro line Dawes Appleton of Massachusetts and New York and Paris, and sho Is tho founder of tho International socioty of tho Friends of Childhood, whoso mis sion is to help thoso who havo become impoverished by tho European war. As tho namo betokens, children aro tho chief objoct of relief, but thn wolfaro of children in many cases Involves help for an entlro family. Miss Apple ton intends to make Washington tho permanent headquarters of her work. Miss Appleton is tho daughter of tho lato Alunson Stewart Appleton, lit terateur, editor and publisher, who earned distinction for his work both was tho answering telegram of Captain 'j Carnoaux and Runt (Prepared by tho United Stntcs Depart ment ot AKrlculturo.) In order to securo tho benefit of tho practical experience of thoso who raiBO squabs for profit, both on a largo scalo and In Binnll lots, tho poultry Investigations branch of tho United States department ot agriculture ad dressed a list of questions to a largo number of brooders. Tho pigeon breeders showed a good spirit of co operation and 22 breedorn who keep from 300 to 2,200 pigeons, nnd a largo number of thoso who ftocp less than 300 pigeons nnsvorod the questions. Tho following summary of tho ropllos Is takon from Farmers' Bulletin No. 684, "Squab Raising." Tho largo brccdors roportod keeping tho Homer and Carncaux varieties almost exclusively for squab raising, with a comparatively small number of tho Dragon, Maltoso Hen, and Whlto King mentioned. All excopt ono brood ur kept their pigeons conilned, Tho birds wero mated at from flvo to aovon months old, tho nvcrngo mating ago bolng C.7 months. Wheat, corn, kaflr corn, Canada peas, millet, and hemp woro tho grains most commonly fed, whllo a number of other grains, Including peanuts, grass seed, oats, buckwheat, sunflower seed, rlco, Egyptian corn, cowpeas, nnd mllo malzo wcro also used. About one-half of tho breeders roportod tho uso of somo kind of green feed, Including a wldo rnngo of such material, Tho uso of rock salt was roportod by one half of tho breeders, looso tablo salt by one-fourth, and tablo salt baked Into a hard lump by tho rost. About. 1G per cent used Bomo oxtra food, such as millet or hemp seed, during tho molt ing poriod, whilo sovernl who did not u ho any spoclal feed for assisting tho Runt Cross, moltsuppllod theso grains in tholr reg ular rations. One-third used hoppors In feeding tho plgoons, About ono-hnlf supplied tobacco atoms as tho entlro or for part of tho nesting material, and hay and straw wero commonly used, whllo others used plno needles, cut pen-vines, and alfalfa stems. Ono-half reported freo lorn from all discasos and about one fourth gavo canker as a common cause Df sickness. Tho avorngo onnunl profit per pair 3f breeders varied from 32 cents to $ 3, and averaged $1.62; tho feod cost from 95 cents to $2, with an avorago of $1.3V All sold squabs for market. Tho average price for tho year received per lozen squabs varlod from $2 to $4,02, and averaged $3.43. Tho number of squabs marketed from each pair of pigeons varied from 10 to 20, and averaged 13.1; tho weight p& dozen squabs varied from l to 11 pounds, and averaged 9 pounds. Squabs were marketed at four weeks, except from two farms, where tho avcrngo ago of markotlng was given as four and ono-half weeks. Data Secured From 8mall Breeders. A largo number of roplles wcro re :elvo(l from breeders who kept less than 300 pigeons. Tholr answers In general agreed with thoso from tho large pigeon breeders, although thoy wero moro varied. Many farmers ob jected to plgoons, claiming that thoy carried diseases and all kinds of ver min among stock and fowls, dirtied clBtorns usod for holding ralnwator, and ate grain from tho fields and barns. A very few farmers stated that tho pigeons wero beneficial to tho farms and nto many weed BeedB. Tho" nurabor of pigeons In farm sections not kept confined wns reported to ho diminishing greatly as tho country bo enmo moro thickly settled Other varieties of pigeons men tioned, in addition to thoso roportod from tho largo pigeon farms, wero tho Runt and tho common pigeon. A few breeders separated tho bcxos during tho molting period; thut la, during lato Bummer nnd early fall. Slightly moro Cross Pigeons. than ono-half nllowod their pigeons freo rnngo. Barloy, ryo, Borghum seod, nnd prepared mixed pigeon feeds wore additional feeds mentioned. Most farmers who did not kofcp their pl goons confined fed'only; grains which Uioy ralsod, such nB corn, wheat and onts. Twolvo por cent mixed lino salt with grit and oyBtor Bholl, aiA G por cont fed tho salt dissolved in tho drinking water. Oyster shell and grit wero suppllod by most brccdors, A fow usod spoclal tojlcB during tfio molting poriod. Only 33 por cont ro portod tho uso of tobacco Btcms or leaves, ns ngalnt 50 per cont among tho larger hreodors. Tho diseases most frequently men tloncd woro cankor, going light, nnd roup. Tho principal inothod of treat ment was prevention; by keeping ov everything elenn, using disinfectants freely, nnd killing sick or diseased pigeons. Romodlos mentioned for pre venting Blcknoss woro tho ubo of hero- Bono oil, pormnu;nnnte of potash, lime, copper sulphato, carbolic ncid, quassln chips, opsom salts, Venetian rod, tine turo of gontlan, or a tonic in tho drink ing water. Dry sulphur nnd diluted peroxldo of hydrogen wcro used in treating canker, and korosono oil for roup. A fow allowed dlscasod plgoons tholr frocdom whon thoy had boon kept confined. About one-fourth ro portod somo loss from rats, but, most of tho larger breeders made their pons rat-proof, Lossos from hawks and cats wero roportod in somo casos where tho plgconB woro allowed tholr freedom. Tho avorago yearly profit from each pair of brcodcre varied from 20 cents to $7.50, and nvoraged $2.29. Tho profit from breeders who sold stock largely for brooding purposos varied from $10 to $20 por pair. Tho avorago yearly food cost por pair varied from 40 cents to $1, nnd nvoraged $1.32. Flfty-llvo por cont sold squabs foV mar ket only, 33 por cont both for market nnd as breeders, and 12 por cont for breudors only. Tho number of squabs markoted from each pair of breeders varied from 5 to 22, and av eraged 13.8; tho wolght por dozon squabs varied from 4 to 18 pound-, and nvoraged 10,1 pounds. Squabs worn markoted at from 3 to C wooks; tho avorago bolng 4.2 wooks, Tho avor ngo prlco for tho year received por dozon squabs varied from GO cents to $G nnd avorngod $3.01. LEGS AND LIVER OF CHICKEN Mnko Heno Scratch for Their Food, Advises Poultry Expert Fat Fowls Make Records. Thoro la a correlation between tho logs and tho liver of a chicken. Liver activity Is absolutely necessary for egg production, so make tho hens Bcratch for their food, 1b the advlco of N. L. HnrrlB, superintendent of poul try, Kansas Stato Agricultural college "All grains should bo fed in a deep litter." says Mr. Harris. "Oat straw or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose Hons should bo fod liberally but should not bo fed until thoy aro willing to work for their food." There is nn old-timo fallacy that n hon can hocomo too fat to lay. Ex periments havo been carried on to do tormlno tho laying ability of fat and lean hens, and in every instanco tho fat hens have outlaid tho lean ones. Tho egg begins its formation with tho yolk, which Is practically all fat, nnd so- it Is absolutely csBontlnl that a hon havo oxcess fat beforo eggs aro formed. A hen docs not ceaso laying from an ovorsupply of fat, in tho opin ion of Mr. Harris, but becnuao her lega and liver arp not working to tholr full capacity. SHIPMENT OF DAMAGED EGGS May Be Basis of Proceedings Under Pure Food and Drugs Act, Rules Department. Tho United States department of agriculture has given notico that tho Intorstato shipment of lad eggs may bo mndo tho basis of proceedings un der tho puro food and drugs act. This npplies only when tho eggs aro to be used for food purposes. Whon thoy r.ro to be used for inn. nine or in other technlrnl wavs thnv l may be shipped Interstate, provided thoy aro denatured In such a way that thoy aro worthloss fev food purposes.
