THE FALL SKIRT
THE fall skirt Is a neat garment
which looks a good deal like the
spring skirt, but costs more, owing to
the Kuropan war, which has caused a
great scarcity of everything except
campaign bunk.
The fall skirt was gotten up last
February In the heart of Paris,
France, and sent over here to be sold
to women who do not care to look like
any of their neighbors. To the dull
and unpractlced eye of man It Is hard
to tell a new full skirt of the 1017 mod
el from the one his wife wore twice
In the early spring and discarded aft
er making the horrifying discovery
that It was three-quarters of an inch
too long to be strictly au fait. There

Great care has been taken, accord
ing to the fashion periodicals, to muke
the fall skirt so long that It can be
worn to church with perfect propriety.
By actual measurement It will reach
to the top of a 12-lnch boot, which
will prevent anybodyfrora tripping on

going to be harder to trip over one of
the new fall skirts than It Is to es

The fall skirt will be made of any
thing that costs mcro than it did last
winter, but will not be guaranteed
against defects of workmanship or
material. Stripes wlU be worn a great
fdtal by women who would look better
in some solid, neutral tint like black
taffeta. The nervous, high-voiced

DID YOU DREAM OF FIRE?
N KEGAItD to dreams about Are
the mystics are not entirely agreed.
I
They alf seem to agree that simply
to dream of a Are Is a favorable omen,
but some s-f them attach unfavorable
meanings to different circumstances
which may arise in connection with
the dream fire. Many of them predict
that if you dream of a conflagration
in which your house or your place of
business Is burned down, you will have
many business troubles, but will come
through them all right. Others say
that if you see a fire In which the
burning houses have fallen down it
Is a most favorable omen and not so
good a one if the houses still stand.
The consensus of opinion is that to
see any fire and not get burned by it
denotes health, fortune and happiness.
To burn yourself In your dreams is
not a favorable progdostlcaUon, but to
dream that you touch the fire and are
not burned, a most favorable one.
Most authorities agree that while to
dream of fire Is a promise of good
luck. It also moans that you are likely
to have a quarrel with a friend, though
some declare that you must see the
fire start suddenly to be sure of a
quarrel, and all agree that the dispute
will be over a trifle. If you extinguish
the fire, a surprise Is In store for you.
To see a sparkling fire on a hearth or
In n stove, denotes plenty of money.
If a woman builds a fire without any
trouble, she will be happy and have
many children.
If she has difficulty In making the
fire burn, the omen Is the reverse.
The scientists regard the fire dream
simply as a reminiscence from our
nursery days when we were warned
not to play with matches and schedule
this dream as one of the typical or
standard ones.
As the scientists don't enUrely agree
with the mystics, and the mystics don't
entirely agree among themselves with
regard to the significance of dream
fire, it would seem to be a case where
each of the rest of us was entitled to
his own opinion.

STRONG PLEA FOR GARDENS
United State CommUoiontr f Educa
tion Urgts That Last YearV Good
Work Continue.
Last year more than 2,000,000 boys
and girlj In cities, large towns and In
dustrial villages in the United States
cultivated gardens under school direc
tion and supervision and produced
many millions of dollars' worth of veg
etables and small fruits to be con
sumed .where produced without cost
for transportation and handling and
without ioss from, deterioration on the
markets. There were many thousands
of boys and girls who produced more
than . $50 each" in what would other
wise have been, idle time, and thou
sands of acres of land that would have
lain idle If it had not been cultivated
by the boys and girls yielded more than
$5U0 an acre.
The educational value to the chil
dren was far greater than the value
of the food products. That value in
cluded health, phj-sieal vigor, habits of
Industry, knowledge of plant life and
of the phenomena and forces of na
ture, and the beginning of the under
standing of the fundamental moral
principle that every one should gladly
contribute to his own support by
his own labor.
The United States bureau of edu
cation will not be uble to follow up
this work this year as fully as It has
for several years past writes I. P.
Claiton, United States commissioner
of education, "but I hope the Interest

Declaring the automobile has made
the billboard a countrywide problem,
E. T. Hartman of Boston, member of
the Massachusetts Civic league, ad
dressing a meeting of the American
Civic association, said that there Is
no bet law or method for dealing
with the problem presented by the de

country by outdoor advertising.
The public, he said, can bring reme
dies to bear when it chooses to make
the effort. He suggested that one ef
fective method would be to withhold
patronage from persons and firms em-
ploying this method of publicity, and
said this would settle the whole prob

Memories
By CEORCE MATTHEW ADAMS
IT IS the faculty of Itemembering
and constantly calling to mind
what has gone before, that makes It
possible for us to tread Forward. It
Is what saves us from becoming fos
silized. It Is what enables us to throw
off the decaying shell of Self and to
renew our strength In Effort and En
thuslasm and In Achievement.
All that you now have of the Old
Year are its Memories. How are you
going to use them?
Every single life has its Stumbling
Times. Every single life has its Climb
ing Hours. It is the Memory of the
thrilling moments, that fairly made
our whole consciousness glow with
power and satisfaction, that make us
feel we are worthy ns fighters In the
game and as asplrers for a portion of
the Joy of this world.
All that you now have of the Old
Year are Its Memories. How are you
going to use them?
Why not resolve here and now that
you will Just let slide, silent from you,
every unpleasant memory of the past,
gathering up and tying securely to
you the while, every Pleasant Memory
that the past has given to you? Make
them spurs and Incentives to make
you bolder, braver and bigger. For
All that you now have of the Old
Year" and Years are Its Memories.
How are you going to use them?

But they're Just like the others tht I've

They've felt and known the selfsam
things the rest have known and felt.
They'll freeze up for unfrienlly folks, for
kindly ones they'll melt.
They've each one had a sorrow that they
thought they couldn't bear,
Dut bore It, just as people do with sor

I see new people that I love, Jjst every
where I go.
And everyone has felt some Joy that I
had felt some time;
And each has had his little dream oj
higher slopes to climb;
And each has known the sweets of home
at some time or another;
And nearly every man you meet will rare
about his mother.
