Agriculture Department Fashion Note. Most useful and attractive coats and aleeveless Jumpers, with hats to match, can be made from veal skins, which can be tanned without the hair at a reason ably low cost, an Agriculture Depart ment Bulletin says. Many useful and market h hie articles are also made from Iamb, sheep and goat skins. A club woman in northwest Oklahoma re cently made herself a very beautiful horse hide coat which she believed would have cost at least |?0 If she had bought It ready made. She spent only 18 for tanning and a small additional amount for the sateen lining. ' Why Worry?

LIGHTNING CAUSES MANY FOREST FIRES IN WEST War on Hornets With Firebrands Also Caused Blazes. Olytnpla, Wash. ? Lightning would scarcely be ascribed by the western Washington resident generally as one of the prolific causes of forest tires In Washington, yet the record of the fir# season In the counties of i'eud Orollle and Stevens, as reported by Ted 8. Goodyear, assistant state supervisor of forests, who has Just returned from speudlng the scuson In charge of the Are protection work of thst district, shows thut !&> llres were starte<l In the two counties by lightning. This appeared t?? l>e the thunder storm center of the etate, however, find only a small number of lightning tires were reported from all other sec tions. Tl?e northwest corner of the state, with Its hot drying winds and great number of small logging operations, is one of the worst tinder boxes of the state, and got oft exceptionally easy this season despite the 114 fires re ported. Of these, 04 were In l'cnd Oreille county and 50 In Stevens. Ic the former county acres were burned over, includlug 47 acres of tim ber, and In Stevens 2,965 acres were ulnged. Including ttfri) acres of timber. Financial losses were small, however. Logging is on a smaller scale than on the west side, and, with smaller opera tions, horsed and not donkey eugines are used exclusively for the handling of the logs in the woods. Aaotiier curious major cause of for est fires in that section this season was the burning out .of hornet*' nests. Hornets were thicker in the woods, Mr, Goodyear reports, than ever known before and loggers and campers wsged war with the firebrand, In consequence of which eight fires got a stsrt that caused trouble. ? For the most part, however, the fires were ascribed to camperp and tour ists, land clesrlngs, .cigars and ciga rettes, matches, carelessly dropped, while eight were held of Incendiary origin. , Cliff-Dwellers Found In Worcestershire Town London.?
