Preparing Apple, for Marfcot—Packing In Barrels,
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
There I* a growing sentiment, both
among apple grower, and dealers. In
favor of standard apple-grading laws,
say specialists of the bnrean of mar-
kets, United States department of agrl-
cnltnre. The objects, they say, to be
attained by snch laws are: Elimina-
tion of freed and deception, preven-
tion of waste, establishing a basts for
trading, creation and maintenance of
confidence, stabilisation of the market,
and encouragement of better methods
of production and handling.
lie first definite attempt toward se-
curing the passage of a national apple-
grade law was Initiated In 1901 by a
number of prominent growers, ship-
pers, and dealers, who were Instru-
mental, after working on the problem
for several years. In getting the Snlaer
Mil enacted In congress. This hm be-
came a law In August, 1912, when It
was signed by the president to take
effect July 1,1918, Although this law
was not mandatory, It served a valua-
ble purpose In awakening and crystal-
lising public sentiment throughout the
country favoring the enactment of leg-
islation which would serve to stabilise
the barrel-apple Industry by eliminat-
ing fraudulent and deceptive packing
and by establishing a uniform baals for
buying and selling.
Barreled Apple-Grade Laws,
the first state mandatory apple-
grade law was passed In Maine In 191S.
The following year New Tork passed a
similar law covering barreled apples,
which Is still In effect In an amended
form. This was followed by similar
legislation In Massachusetts, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Connecticut Dela-
ware, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wis-
consin—a total of IS states.
The state laws have not been wholly
successful In obtaining the desired re-
sults, because the requirements In some
cases have not been practical and be-
cause the extent to which they have
been enforced In some states has varied
so greatly that In many Instances the
grade terms have come to have little
value. However, they have done much
good. In spite of the objections men-
tioned. a state law that Is practical In
Its specifications and Intelligently en-
forced will carry with It many advan-
tages.
Specialists In the bureau of markets
have conducted Investigations In all
producing sections and at packing
houses handling the products of ap-
proximately 1,000 commercial orchards
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts
to ascertain the need of a national uni-
form apple-grade law. Apple dealers,
county agricultural agents, and state
college horticulturists were also con-
sulted on the question. Ninety per
cent of the growers and dealers who
were visited were In favor of apple-
grading laws, and county agents and
college horticulturists were unanimous
In their fhvor.
Benefits of Standardisation.
Without established grades, the spe-
cialists say, there la no recognised bu-
sts for buying and selling; there Is no
common language by which the grower,
shipper, transportation company, dead-
er and consumer may dearly under-
stand each other; and there Is no
standard quality by which values and
prices may be fixed. Such a basis can-
not bo established through Individual
producers and associations represent-
ing hundreds of thousands of farms la
widely separated districts, shipping
their products to the same markets.
Confidence Is the foundation of trade,
and without grade standardisation con-
fidence In the fruit and produce mar-
ket cannot be established and malm
talned. For the want of confidence
fruits and vegetables are largely sold
subject to Inspection, or consigned to
commission bouses to be sold on their
merits as revealed when the packages
are opened. A misunderstanding or a
difference of opinion as to what the
grade or quality should be results In
many rejections, which necessitates re-
sales and consequent delays and high-
er prices In placing the product In the
hands of the consumer.
Standardised grades furnish a basin
for market quotations and tend to sta-
bilise the price of the commodity. Ex-
cept as based on recognised standard
grades, market quotations cannot be
comprehensive and reliable, and the
national market news service cannot
be developed to Its highest efficiency.
The value of such market reports de-
pends to a large extent upon the ao-
curacy with which the product may be
described through the use of fixed
grade terms.
There Is an educational value In en-
forcing standardised grades. By being
forced to comply with definite stand-
ards the producer will Improve his
methods In both growing and handling
his crop, and he will be compensated
for bis efforts by Increased returns,
due to the reduction In waste and mar-
keting expenses.
The goddess of the looms must have
lingered about American silk mills
when designers were planning this
season's ribbons. And she was In a
happy and opulent mood, for the ut-
most In weaving has blossomed In
ribbons that are all the way from guy
to gorgeous. The richness of au-
tumn’s colorful-days, with sunshine
and moonshine, all are reflected In
brocaded ribbons heavy with gold and
■liver threads and very brilliant In
sheen and color. So much beauty
lures one away from the considers
tlon of Its price which Is very high.
But only small quantities of the
moat gorgeous ribbons appear In any
apparel or dress accessories, except
for evening dresses. In these wide
metal-braided ribbons are used with
some generosity. Mostly the wide and
brilliant ribbons are used for making
■hopping bags and purses. In the
crowns of hats or in sashes on hats
and for vests In dresses and suits. In
evening dresses of tulle or crepe or
lace they make brilliant panels or
girdles and occasionally a handsome
afternoon frock looks to them for
a touch of splendor In the girdle.
But bags and purses account for
more yards of magnificent ribbon than
other accessories. Between now and
Christmas there will be a lively busi-
ness at the ribbon counter where
mountings for bags are sold along
with the ribbon to make them. In
the picture above a purse and a bag
are shown. The long puree la a black
satin brocaded In silver. And the bag
is In brilliant colors striped with
black, mounted on a black celluloid
frame.
The story of plain satin ribbons, for
little bags and numberless other
trifles that women love. Is much long-
er than that of the splendid brocades.
There are Innumerable trinkets made
of ribbon. A little face powder bag
of satin ribbon Is shown In the picture.
It has a small round mirror In the bot-
tom and narrow satin ribbon handles
that draw up and close the top. It
serves to carry a small box of powder
and a convenient puff.
Hair ribbons for little girls are
shown In many pretty striped vari-
eties and taffeta remains the favorite
for hair bows, which with bags, keep
a gay stream of ribbons flowing over
the ribbon counter.

The Fashion Show, 'which la more
•orrectly called a atyle promenade, la
an established Institution now. Gar-
ments for all the seasons, spring,
summer, autumn and winter make
their debut at these promenades, when

their merits and the add tests of the
buyers send them on their way to
success—or relegate them to oblivion.
fabrics, new silhouette*, new
style features have their tryouts at
these promenades and the questions,
a» to what la to be presented to the
public, are settled by those who seem
to have an Intuition In the matter of
coming fashions.

lenged comparisons at a recent style
promenade In New York, are shown

cess and have an assured future,

cannot convey the smartness and
rtrhneaa of this material, but It
sets forth plainly the style of the
luxurious and practical garment. It
has a wide muffler collar and deep
cuff* of caracul fur and a narrow
belt of the velvet that buttons at the
sides in the most nonchalant manner.

In this coat, the wide, blae hand of
the goods which appears to be but-
toned around the front of It about
eight Inches above the bottom, seised
the attention of spectators and was
credited with being a fine bit of
cleverness In designing.
Parle took kindly to tailored suits
this season and has furnished ui with
models that have a distinctly French
flavor. They are less plain and Ism
simple than the usual American crea-
tions and certain of our own design-
er* have adopted the French Ideas.
But Paris decreed the very short skirt
and America rejected It. and for once
Paris changed Its decree. We agree
on longer skirts and two-third length

these features In the velvet suit shown
at the right of the picture. It Is at
least reminiscent of the Russian
blouse, having all the verve and style
of that persistent Inspiration.

WOOD AS FUEL THIS WINTER
Scarcity of Coal Necessitate* Use of

(Prepared by the United State, Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
On account of the scarcity of coal
there will probably be n large amount
of wood used as fuel this winter. Us*
all the waste timber, dead and dying
trees for this purpose and be sure to
conserve the ashes for garden fer-
tiliser. They are rich la plant food,
particularly potash.

A etroli through establishments,
whose styles we know to be authorita-
tive eoon verifies the assertion made
by manufacturers that tailored suits
are growing fancier. That Is the first
Impression to be gathered from almost
any display. But one must not draw
conclusions too quickly. It has come
to the place where there are several
distinct type, of the tailored suit. In-
cluding the knock about suit, the walk-
ing suit and the promenade suit (which
must be another name for what we
have known a, the formal suit.) The
knock-about and walking salts will
please those who are wedded to severe
tailor-made, while promenade and
formal suits are for those who like
departures from this type.
Probably the Influence of French
Ideas has promoted the success of the
fancier tailored suits, for the severe
type has never been a favorite with
Paris. Where there Is no place for a
gay or frivolous or dainty touch to ap-
parel. French designers seem to feel
hampered; they do not like the type
of suit that attends strictly to the
business of being practical and well
made. They delight In unexpected lit-
tl* decorative touches that have no
reeeon for existing, except to be In-
teresting and good looking.

legiance to the last decrees for longer

placements of material on the skirt

Sling Gives Relief.
Great relief from pain In neuritis of
the arm has been gained from the ua*
of a sling described by Dr. R. T. Wil-
liamson In the British Medical Jour-
nal. The ellng passes over the shoul-
der of the unaffected arm and under
the elbow of the painful arm In such
a way that It slightly raises It This,
by raising the shoulder and collar
bone, takes off the pressure upon the
nerve roots and prevents the weight
of the arm from dragging on thee*

The powers that he In the world of
millinery have made a league In fa-
vor of feathers for trimming winter
hate Having decided that the mid-
winter hat should be characteristic of
the midwinter season and bear lit-
tle resemblance to Its predecessors for
fall, the designers have evidently set-
tled on feathers as the great feature
of the styles. Ostrich has come hark
and endless wings, cockades and
fancy feathers are fluttering across the
millinery horizon.
Ostrich, curled and uncurled, reap-
pears to such advantage that we all
wonder how fashion could ever
have banished It. Yet it was absent
for several seasons. Soft quills and
long sprays of artificial aigrettes sweep
and swirl about brims. There |* a
great vogue for shaggy, rigged ef-
fects, with coque feathers and burnt
goose In turbulent, unsymmetrlcal ar-
rangement about brims and crowns.
Then there are single long feathers
and the most brilllunt and precise
wings to contradict what seems the
careless placing of the scraggy feath-
ers. It will take u season to tall all
the story of fra therm.
Moat sure of welcome from meuy

wings and mooter** Ilk* those shown
In two of the hats pictured ahov*
Besides these there nre some small
shape* entirely covered with feathers
and among them appear turbans In
wMch groups of tiny wings spring out
about the hat like small bouquets of
feathers.
The hat at the center of the group
has a narrow drooping brim covered
with shirred velvet and s coronet of
the same across the front. A pair of
wings Joined by a breast make an ef-
fective ornament set In behind the
velvet coronet and sweeping In grace-
ful lines backward. The feather band,
terminating in wings. In the hat he-’
low, Is used on velvet or feather cov-
ered turbans. In this rase the turban
Is covered with small, soft feathers
snd the wing at the left side Is con-
siderably larger than that at the
right. These hots, made of nr trim-
med with rich feathers, placed In many
eccentric ways, are suited to matrons
