Contest.
POPULAR NECKLINE TREATMENTS
STRESS UNUSUAL SCARF COLLARS
Just how good at Gaming are
Barnwell women and girls?
This question suggested itself today
from an announcement in Chicago of
a Natioral Canning Contest to find the
best jar of canned fruit, vegetables or
hveat in the country. Twelve hundred
and fifty dollars ($1,250) in cold cash
awaits the woman or girl in the
United States whose er.try is selected
as the best jar of canned food entered
in the contest.
The contest, which* is sponsored by
the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foun
dation, seeks to acquair t more house
wives with the economy and health
fulness of home canned foods. For
years the U. department of agri
culture ard home demonstration
agents throughout the country have
worked for increased production of
native canned foods. Its is to further
this excellent idea ard at the same
time to help absorb the threatened
surplus of farm products in many
sections, that this earning project wa s
corceived.
Two hundred and twenty-two cash
prizes, totalling $5,825, will be dis
bursed to the winners in, the contest,
which has three major divisions:
fruit, vegetables and meat. The best
entry in each division will be award
ed $250, and ore of these will also re
ceive the thousand dollar sweepstakes
prize, thus bringing the total cash
prize for the best jar of canned food
in the contest to $1,250. Second prize
in each of the three different divis
ions will be $200. third prize $100,
and fourth prize. $50. There will also
be five prizes of $25 each, ten prizes
of $10 each and fifty prizes of $5
each. In addition, a thousand dollors
in caab will be awarded to the home
demonstration agent whose county
sends in the greatest number of en
tries, $500 to the agent whose county
has the next largest number, and $100
to the agent whose county sends in tbs
third largest number of entries. A
number of leaser merchandise PV***
are also offered.
I'oalest Clones O teber IS.
According to the rules, the contest
is oper to every woman ard girl in the
United States. There are no restric
tions as to the nature of the food
sent; any fruit, vegetable or meat,
whether home grown or purchased, is
acceptable. Contestants may enter
cne, two or three divisions. Tntries,
regardless of when canned, must not
be sert in prior to August 15th nor
later than October 1st, which is the
closing of the contest. No entries
will be returned, but instead these will
be sent, with the name and address of
the contestant, to an orphanage, hos
pital, infirmary or other charitable ir^-
stitution to be selected by the Founda
tion.
Specimens of canned fruits and
.jy^getables in the contest will be judg
ed Or., the basis of clearness, color,
pack, neatness, flavor and texture.
Meat specimens will be judged in their
relation to pack, neatness, texture
and flavor. There will be three judges,
to be selected by the Foundation from
a list of outstanding authorities on
home economics, domestic science, and
canned food. Their decision will be
made known just as soon, as possible
after October 1st.
-Gives Hints on Canning.
“Any method of canning may be
used for this contest,” announces Anne
Williams, director of the contest.
“The use of a steam pressure cooker,
however, is highly recommended by
canning experts and by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture, especially in
canring meats. Not only does this
method of canning save time and fuel
-ard assure absolutely, sterility and
preservation, but ^ food canred under
“"pressure retains all its natural flavor
and texture, which are vital points in
ary canring contest.”
That the judging may be thoroughly
impartial and the display of canned
samples absolutely uniform, contest
ants are required to submit their er^
tries in stardard glass jars 6f the
quart size. 'All contestants will be
furnished with* one Ball Mason and
carton, for sending in a canned article,
but those making entries in more than
one division are expected to supply
their own jars and shippirg cartons.
The sample jar and prize entry labels
for use m submiting entries may be
secured without cost by communicat
ing with the headquarters at the
Nat Ural Canning Contest, 925 S. Ho
man Ave.. Chicago, Illinois.

It requires the genius of an arith
metician to keep tab on the multi
plicity capelets, scarfs and neck
line drapes which so enhance modern
dress.
Since the majority of necklines are
finished off with beguiling, novel, flut
tering floating effects. It most assur
edly behooves the seeker of things
fashionable, to make a study of the
cunning fantasies which now play
such a picturesque role in concealing
yet revealing unsleeved arms.
Graceful scarf collars like the one
1l the picture Interpret a most popu
lar neckline treatment. These oblong
or panel-shaped lengths of fabric are
‘manipulated In countless ways. If the
material be very sneer then are they
sure to fall into lines of alluring
grace, which encourages the designer
to take countless liberties in adjusting
them.
One pretty arrangement Is to bring
the long scarf ends to the back where
they are tied together or perhaps
caught with a buckle or in some man
ner are Ingeniously held In position.
Quite clever Is the thought of ex
tending a single long streamer over
one arm, the opposite end being fitted
in to a pokelike formation.
Considerable attention is being given
to neckline treatments In fashions for
fall. It Is said that lingerie touches
on silk, wool and velvet frocks will
be featured, and that clever ideas will
be exploited, such as deep capes of
lace, elaborate jabot collars and other
fetching conceits.
Color contrasts, too. will be worked
out for fall In these scarf and capelet
details. The model in tht picture Is
typical of modes “on the way.** This
pretty sleeveless frock is fashioned of
madonna blue flat crepe. The scarf-
collar Is of eggshell tinted crepe edged
with the blue.
For evening lovely scarf-yokes and
collars are of silk net or tulle, which
glitter with elaborate sequin embrold-
erings together with fine metal thread
stltchery.
JULIA BOTTOM LET.
(£. lltt. Wasters N tv* pa par Union.)
Have you a little capelet In your
home? Those wordsthat end in “lef
1. are genernTly so
nice—for instance,
an omelet or a
violet—and both
of those, by the
way, wear ex-
tremely fashion
able colors. Of
course, a capelet
la a little cape,
afifi it grew In the
fashion designers*
jgjnjs quite direct
ly from the hand-
Grace J. Austin, kerchief s^c a r^
which proved so astonishingly becom
ing. Though the cowboys of the
plains had known long before “dude-
ranches” were Invented that a knotted
red handkerchief about the neck was
a ravlshingly beautiful adorning, as
well as a practical one.
So the little cape or the attached
scarf forms a feature of many, and
many a costume and coot of this year.
Sometimes these little capes are so de
tachable that they become a separate
small wrap to be worn when only a
light protection is needed. Ah, shades
of the great-grandmothers! Dame
Fashion could bring out a brace of
family albums and show dear old la
dies among the portraits, wearing
capelets!
There Is one glorious thing about
all this talk of “sun-tan.” The genu
ine article Is one of the finest badges
of health. No one can enln a coot
of tan without absorbing an amount
of those most Invigorating sun rays,
which have other functions as well
as browning the skin.
Dams Fashion well remembers the
weird tales of girls, In her childhood
and earlier, who ate slate pencils,
chalk, vinegar, and no one knows
what all, In order to look lily-pale
and fragile. So now It Is quite the
part of wisdom to give hearty ap-
. pi a use to every style suggestion which
brings that popular sun tan Into the
bargain.
The little close hats which are so
popular ought to help on the good
work of sun-tanning. There was a
striking sentence spoken lately In
New York In regard to mllllnerj^
“Straw hat* are impressive this yesr
not so much In point of number but
because of the women choosing them.”
If we are still clinging to felt exclu
sively—and It Is certainly s good hat
anchors ire—that sentence may send us
to join* the “Impresslvs" band of
women wearing straw.
Jost nost to going to • wedding,
one of the nicest things hi the world
Is to drop Into a friend** house after
• wedding Is over, and bear all the
Intereating partlcuhin, pensively eat
a piece of wedding cake and treasure
a bridal rose bud. Dame Fashion did
this the other day, and one of the re
marks she saved for her column was,
“Though she was junt at lovely aa
she could be to her white silk dress
and veil, when »he came down to go
away, all in Tan,'with everything an
exact match, except Just a corsage of
sweet pest for contrast, we consid
ered the thought for a time that she
was prettier still. 1 *
And the consolation for a great
many women will be that though their
days of bridal veil and shower bou
quets of lilies of the valley may be
behind them, there la still plenty of
opportunity for them to plan a com
plete ensemble In tan, which might
prove to be that secret goal of every
woman—“the most becoming gown you
ever owned.**

Raise More Turkeys
A sufficient number of turkeys were
raised last year by poultry men to
convince others that turkeys are prof
itable. Because of having reached fhla
conclusion n large number of farmers
and poultry men will no doubt be add
ed to the ranks of turkey breeders
during the coming year. For the farm
era who buy a few turkey bens for
breeding purposes there are a num
ber of pointers which should be kept
In mind.

M ILLINERS are gradually
growing more liberal-
minded in regard to the use of
trimming on milady’s chapeau.
Notsr the word “gradually” for
it Is a slow process, this of reviving Interest
in trimmed millinery. After the despotic and
long-continued reign ot the “Tricky” little un
trimmed felt. It Is bound to take time for women
to come out from under Its sway.
Among midsummer collections there
la considerable reaction of the “eter
nal feminine” to the call of lace, rib
bon and flower adornment. Especial
ly Is lace lending Its enchantment to
current bat fashions. Considering that
this Is a “lace season” If could not
be otherwise that creators of the hat-
beautiful should Incorporate lace in
to Its making.
In many Instances so adroitly does
the modiste Introduce lace. It become**
a very part of the bat rather than
giving the appearance of applied trim
ming. One sees this to a fascinating
degree In colored felts which have

Insets of matching lace worked Into
the very structure of the shape. One
very charming method Is to form the
long side of the felt brim of stiffened
lace, after the manner of the modish
hat shown centered to the right In
the picture. The original model pho
tographed here happens to 1 he black,
but the Idee Is Just aa often carried
out In beige, or grayish green, porce

Thin, filmy roeab stretched over
smooth straws or felts la another fa
voted tact t rent mem The exotic tin
entlke straws such aa bakou and bal-
libuntl make an Inviting background
for lace thus manipulated. Some
times the lace Is drawn taut all over
the top of the hat, or perhaps just
the crown la covered, or the brim.
Often the brim of a large picture shape
la lined with lace. A beguiling use of
fine black lace Is made In the In
stance of the natural bangkok bonnet
Illustrated ,to the left center of this
group.
Sprightly ribbon bows for hats of
more or less tailored aspect give an
afr of piquancy to any number of the
newer felt and straw modes. The clo
che with a cluster of loopa and band
ed aa shown on the model below to
the left Is a favorite type among
those who sponsor ribbon trims.
Much la being said In favor of the
long-side off-the-face shapes. Cora
