The center coverlet Is a billowy mnss

all Intellectual communities.
That feeling of being well dressed
which gives confidence and assurance
to the adult. Is likewise experienced
by the child. Consequently, Increasing
attention Is devoted to creating Juve-
nile apparel which will tend to culti-
vate the taste of the child.
Take, for Instance, the smart little
tailored suit pictured below. It has
perfect finesse In every detail. In
Its silk braid binding, Its swagger
pockets, its low-shoulder line. It rep-
resents style personified. Then there
Is a fur collar “Just like mother’s."
Under the flare coat Is a most ador-
able frilly lingerie waist, so practical
with a plaited skirt. The hot Is navy

racy of fashionable bootery, having
patent leather vamps with white kid
tops. Any little girl thus correctly
attired cannot fall to strive to live up
to so choice nn outfit In her deport-
ment and general happy attitude.
Children’s wear buying Is beginning
to swing from school outfits to dressier
types, for soon the holiday dancing
parties and entertainments will be on.
A good demand Is for white serges.
These are, particularly practical where
a “dress-iip" effect Is desired without
sacrificing warmth.

TyTASHINGTON. _ Secretary Fall
submitted to President Harding
the analysis made by the geo-
logical survey of a comprehensive
system for generating and distribut-
ing electricity to transportation lines
and Industries in the north Atlantic
coast region between Boston and
Washington. The survey was author-
ized by congress.
The engineers who made the sur-
vey reported that 970 miles of 220,000
volt lines and five times that mileage
In 110,000 volt lines would be needed.
The 1.200 miles of wire now carrying
33,000 volts and over would be oper-
ated as simple distribution lines for
local Industries. This transmission
network nnd Its substations would re-
quire $104,000,000 by 1930. the report
said. In which year the total Invest-
ment would be $1,109,564,000.
Electrification of the Boston-Wash-
ington area, according to the report,
would save 50,000,000 tons of coal an-
nually by 1930, or $196,000,000 in fuel
expenditure. While electrification of
the railroads would save "11 to 19 per
cent on their Investment.”
In his letter to the President, Secre-
tary Fall referred “to the obvious fact
that It Is by multiplying our manpow-
er by machines that American labor
can best meet the competition of
cheap foreign labor.
“I believe,” he continued, “the en-
gineering facts and economic conclu-
sions here presented will command
the attention alike of the financiers,
railroad executives, public utility offi-
cials, industrial leaders, nnd others of
that large group of our citizens of
large vision who are building for the
America of tomorrow.
“These economies on a truly nation-
al scale will affect not only coal, but
capital expenditures as well, and es-
pecially the output of human energy.
More and cheaper electricity must
surely add to the comfort nnd pros-
perity of our citizens, and this report
on a super-power system Is submit-
ted os a contribution of the Depart-
ment of the Interior to the common
welfare.”
More Efficiency in Veterans’ Bureau
^SWEEPING recommendations de-
^ signed to Increase the efficiency of
the veterans’ bureau have been
made In a report by the special senate
committee Investigating government ac-
tivities for the relief of former serv-
ice men. The report was the commit-
tee’s second. The bureau should
“broaden Its Interpretation and widen
the scope of application of existing
laws,” the report said, adding that ad-
ditional legislation would be sought
to meet deficiencies shown. Among
recommendations were:
Appropriation of $10,400,000 for hos-
pitals; transfer of all government
hospitals, Including soldiers' homes
not needed by the army and navy, to
the bureau, creation of a chuplaln
corps for service In hospitals and
training centers; provision of ceme-
teries at soldiers’ hospitals; standard-
ization of training, permitting the ap-
plicant to select as fur as possible his
own vocation; extension of Insurance
to $10,000 to each policyholder If he
desires, nnd extension of Insurance
and compensation privileges to Amer-
icans who served In allied forces.
Cancellation of contracts with state,
municipal and private hospitals not

all slrallnr institutions which are
found unsuitable, was recommended

ough inspection of hospitals and train-
ing centers, elimination of politics
from appointments, establishment of
additional vocational centers at Insti-
tutions where mental and tubercular
patients are treated.
To July 1 there had been 388,000 ap-
plications for vocational training, the
committee found, adding that “al-
though we are approaching the third
anniversary of the armistice,” only 5,-
050 have been rehabilitated.
Only 12,000 men have accepted
training without pay, out of 96,913
eligibles, and only 96,000 with pay
out of 159,309 eligibles, the report
said.
The committee said that the gov-
ernment had failed to obtain “results
commensurate with the large ex-
penditures,” In rehabilitation work,
and expressed belief that knowledge
of the government's failure pre-
vented men “from seeking hospital
treatment until too late.”

ALWAYS ALERT FOR DANGER
Farmers’ Co-operative Organizations
T^stGUKES Just obtained at the De-
partment of Agriculture show* that
farmers’ co-operative organiza-
tions last year did a business of $375,-
714,660, against a little more than $60,-
000,000 In 1919. The figures for 1921,
It Is claimed, will show a tremendous
gain.
The farmers of the country are be-
ing led more and more toward business
methods In the marketing of their
crops. According to the reports of the
county agents of the Agricultural de-
partment, the farmers In the United
States have come to realize as never
before that success In farming Is de-
8ome Drivers Dodge Every Little
Hole, Stone, Horseshoe and Broken
Bottle With Short Turn of
the Steering Wheel.
Some motorcar drivers run their
cars along the road at nearly uniform
speed, preserve nn almost straight
I course, with scurcely perceptible devl-
1 utions when the road Is straight, avoid-
ing small obstructions on the surfuoe
as If by good luck more than inten-
tion, and never getting Into tight
places In traffic that require sudden
I dexterous movements to prevent col-
lision or other accident.
On the other hand, there nre drivers
who dodge every little hole, stone,
horseshoe nnd broken bottle with a
short turn of the steering wheel that
results In an unpleasant swaying of
the car body; who slow up and start
ahead with annoying frequency and
are repeatedly treutlng their compan-
ions In the car to thrilling moments
of suspense ns they narrowly avert the
running down of a slower moving pe-
destrian or a cyclist.
Looking Ahead.
These differences nre noticeable
alike on city streets and Country
roads, and ure amply sufficient to
make It a delight to ride with one
friend at the wheel and ulmost tor-
ture to sit In the car behind another.

cise reasons that give you confidence

cation must now be put on a pur with
his education in production.
Last year 798 county agents assist-
ed In organizing co-operative enter-
prises. This was 61 per cent of the
total number of agents In the field.
The business done through these or-
ganizations, as stated, amounted to
$.375,714,660, and the saving through
the co-operative form was $21,152,773.
The average business per agent was

I planted by the American Forestry
association on the grounds of the
Lincoln memorial. The elms, one for
the allied armies and one for the al-
lied navies, were dedicated by
Charles Lathrop Pack of Lakewood,
N\ J., president of the association.
After Mr. Park’s short address. Mrs.
Warren G. Harding presented her tree-
planting trowel to members of the
American Legion who placed the trees
at the Twenty-third street entrance
to the ground* The trees are to
stand at the head of what will be an
International avenue of memorial
trees to be planted by various world
governments, according to the plans
of Lieut. Col. C. O. Sherrill of the
department of public buildings and
grounds, who co-operated with the
American Forestry association In
plans for the tree planting.
Mrs. Harding brought with her in
Its walnut box the trowel with which
she planted the Ohio tree on the as-
sociation's grounds last spring. Thd
famous trowel has Just returned from
Canton. 0„ snd South Bend, Ind..
whtn It had been used for memorial
tree planting at the tomb of William
McKinley and along the Lincoln high-
way. Immediately after the ceremony
the trowel was sent to Chicago for the
American Legion. In dedicating the
trees. Mr. Pack said:
“The elm Is inseparably connected
with the past and present of America.
For such an avenue thia Is a fitting
spot—the memorial to Abraham Lin-
coln. Look about you and you see
him. He and the United States are
Identical. He and yon men who
fought are IdemlcaL He and tha
cause of the plain people for which
yon fought are Identical. He. Eternal
Truth, and the cause we mark today
are all identlcaL”
In all probability the secret lies in this
fine point In driving an automobile—
the distance ahead of the car at which
the driver focusses his gaze.
The proficient driver has early
learned to watch the road far In ad-
vance of his car—as fnr. In fact, as
the road is visible. On a straight,
level road this may be several miles,
on a winding course as fnr as the next
turn; on a hilly road the crest of the
next rise, and on city streets as far as
the state of the traffic permits the way
tog>e s»-en clearly.
Following this practice, all bad
places and small objects on the surface
of the road are seen long before the
car comes to them, and almost uncon-
sciously the car Is steered to avoid
them. The action begins so early that
the movement Is practically trajtercep-
tlble to other passengers, and the driv-
er does not find It necessary to keep
his eyes fixed upon the apot or object
until It has passed; he lias early In-
sured that It will not tie struck by
the wheels, and so continues to keep
his eyes focused away ahead. Titus
he av«dds dropping his eyes to watch
all such near objects and raising them
again to the focussing point, a prac-
tice that became* wearisome to the
driver and gives rise to unexpected
emergencies.
