Designers Are in a Mood for Capes
Bv CHERTF, NICHOLAS
OT to be cape-conscious is not to
N know fashion as Is at this very moment
and as it will be this comlDg fall
and winter. Everything from suits to
evening gowns is being caped in one
way or another. If the cape is not an
actual part of the dress, as it is in so
many instances, then it is sure to be
one of those cunning little separate
affairs made of velvet or silk or lace,
or "what have you," for designers are
conjuring these graceful shoulder out
of most any medium.
These versatile capes are adding a
genuine note of Interest to the new
modes for they offer unlimited possibilities
in the field of design. Whether
it be for the sports outfit or the
afternoon costume or for wear during
the formal evening hour the cape motif
is made to lend Itself to the mood
and the occasion.
At all evening galas In Paris capes
galore are to be seen, some half-jacket
and some half-scarf and others Just
capes pure and simple. And then
there's Hollywood, our own mecca toward
which all eyes turn to see fashions
at their best There Is no doubt
about the reign of the cape vogue in
that style center. Most any day you
are apt to meet pretty Rochelle Hudson,
she of the smiling countenance
who is waving such a joyous salute In
the picture, strolling on the boulevard
in her youthful looking three-piece costume,
with Its Jaunty little cape and
its printed blouse, Its colorful belt
and tie.
And there's Julia Hayden a bit further
on, tastefully gowned as the illustration
to the rlfrht reveals her, all

ready for a shopping tour. Brown
and white print fashions her Jacket
dress, which takes on a most convincing
note of chic in that It flaunts a
little print-lined brown velvet cape
with a velvet belt to match. By the
way, It Is worth while to keep tab of
the many attractive velvet "sets"
which complement the new costumes.
It Is very stylish to wear a girdle or
belt of velvet to match one's hat
Charming threesomes are also made
up of chapeau, cape-wrap and girdle,
all of the same material, preferably
velvet
As to evening capes there Is no end
to the procession. The prettily frivolous
little ruffled fancy cape pictured
in the center is entirely of taffeta silk.
There is just enough protection about
It to serve for a midsummer evening,
and ns to "looks" It Is without doubt
a prize-winning number. No one who
knows bow to sew ought to be without
one of these pretty shoulder wraps,
for It's no trick at all to make one out
of a yard or so of silk.
At fashionable midnight gatherings
one sees such beguiling capes as these
—a ruby red velvet model with a single
scarf end thrown over the right
shoulder; white satin made circular*
cut and bordered with white ostrich;
pink taffeta outlined with a niching
of the same; white transparent velvet
worked with rhlnestones; many of
white ermine.
Autumn days will witness bevies of
novel fur capes for detachable or rather
separate fur pieces will be played
up in great fashion during the succeeding
months.

FABRICS APPEAL
IN FALL STYLES
Fabrics are the things that make a
strong appeal to the fall styles. There
seems to have been a concerted effort
to give them a quality value. In addition
there is an eutertuWilng topsyturvydom
about them—even more exaggerated
than it was In spring. Wools
look like crepes, and crepes like wools,
while velvets have so changed their
complexion as to be barely recognizable.
Bagbeera velvet rich and deep
In tone and having practically no pile,
Is being widely used. By contrast
there is a new velvet with a heavy
pile that is pressed In such manner
that it looks like a bunny's fur. Not
so long ago we began to hear the
word "croquignol" (a kind of small
curly cuke) used to connection with
crepes. It described then- crinkly surface.
This season satins are going
"croquignol." In fact there are all
sorts of new crinkles and wrinkles to
crepes, satins and velvets; crinkled
velvet Is a luscious thing to behold.
Perfumed Hosiery New
Delight for Madame
Perfumed Hosiery is the newest
thing offered milady. And those scented
with narcissus are the favorites.
The Commerce department reported
that in a recent test four pairs of hose
were shown to 20 women—one Just as
it came from the factory, and three
others scented very faintly.
The perfume was so faint that only
6 per cent consciously noticed it, but
60 per cent said they liked the narcissus
pair best. Twenty-four per
cent chose the pair perfumed with a
fruit mixture; 18 per cent picked those
scented with sachet.
Co*U With Scarfs
Some of the new coats are sold
with two scarfs—one to plain color
to match the coat, the other in dots
or figures. The idea is good.
Offers Credit Plan For
New England Farmers
Announcement was-made by Representative
Robert L. Bacon that a petition
is in process of formulation for
submission to the Reconstruction France
Corporation providing for the
creation of a Regional Agriculture
Credit Corporation In the First Federal
Land Bank District. This statement
was made following conversation had
by W. Kingsland Macy and Representative
Bacon with members of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, to
whom they emphasize the need, particularly
in New York State, of such a
farm credit corporation.
State Commissioner of Agriculture
and Markets Charles H. Baldwin, after
conference with Representative Bacon,
made the following statement as to the
origin and purpose of the plan:
"This movement inaugurated by Representative
Bacon offers a tremendous
potential value to farmers throughout
the First Land Bank District, and particularly
to New York State. Under the
proposed set-up the Regional Agricultural
Credit Corporation would be
created with a capital of not less than
$3,000,000, to be subscribed entirely by
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
This Regional Corporation, under
the provisions of the act, would be
authorized to make loans and advances
to farmers throughout the district for
agricultural purposes, including the
orderly marketing of their produce and
the extension of necessary credit facilities
therefor. Such Agricultural Credit
Corporations are already to process of
organization to eight of the Land Bank
Districts, and definitely projected to
two others, leaving out so far only two,
of which the New York District is one.
"This set-up would provide an immediate
accessibility to agricultural
Breeds Chickens
To Resist Typhoid
Six year's selection and breeding of
chickens that are resistant to fowl typhoid
has reduced the percentage of
dead chicks, inoculated with the disease
germs, from 39.8 per cent to the
first generation down to 9.4 per cent
to the fifth generation, while the losses
to non-resistant flocks used for comparison
ranged from 93.2 per cent down
to 85 per cent to the same number of
years and generations, W. V. Lambert
of Iowa State College reported to the
credit funds, which if available before
the peak of the crop movement, will
stave off serious losses to farmers to
various lines of production. New York
State alone, to this district, which also
includes all the New England States
and New Jersey, ranks fifth to the farm
value of crops and livestock to all the
Unltel States. In hay, buckwheat and
small fruits it ranks first; it is second
to potatoes, apples and grapes.
"As an instance of the vital necessity
for such an agricultural credit
medium to this land bank district, Representative
Bacon cited the plight of
the potato farmers to his own county
of Suffolk. He feels that if this corporation
were now in operation these
farmers would be able to apply to It
successfully for aid to marketing their
crop to an orderly way. This Is merely
one illustration of the many services
that could be rendered and are
greatly needed."
To complete the plans already under
way and to sign the formal petition
to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
a meeting will be held In
Commissioner Baldwin's office in Albany
on Tuesday.
International genetics conference at
Cornell University.
In the experiment, Dr. Lambert inoculated
seven-day-old chicks with the
fowl typhoid germ and selected breedtog
stock from the chicks whose families
gave the highest resistance. Some
inbreeding was done. Records of mortality,
kept until the chicks were 21
days old, showed that most of the
chicks which failed to survive from the
selected strains died on the eighth day
after inoculation and most of the
chicks from the unselected flock died
on the fifth day after inoculation.
Observations of 1,568 chicks of four
different breeds and from two strains
of a single breed, showed the following
mortality percentages: White leghorn
87.7, white leghorn 865, white Plymouth
rock 79.7, white wyandotte 93.4,
and Rhode Island red 94.4. The differences,
according to Dr. Lambert, probably
represent strain resistance rather
than breed resistance.
Crosses between the selected and unselected
stock show that the male as
well as the female transmits resistance
to the disease. Back crosses, he says,
indicate that more than one factor is
responsible for developing resistance
dnd that continued investigation is
necessary to establish the genetic behavior
of these disease resistant factors.
Where is the old 3-cent piece? Its
coinage began back to 1851 and it went
out of existence to 1889. They may
have to be revived to pay for the 3-cent
stamp.
The old fashioned demagogic politician
who used to rail at the railroads
until he about destroyed that institution
is now getting ready to start to
on the telephone and power companies.
In time he hopes to make a complete
wreck of things.
