SELLS EVERYTHING FOR LESS New Fall Models Com- ^ bine Style, Comfort and Good Taste t N EW YORK.—Shoe designers, too have succumbed to the subtle in fluence of the new Eugenie millinery, and footwear for Autumn will har monise with and carrj' out the ensemble motif set by these perky and attractive hats. Colored piping, light trims of blending materials, cleaner lines—these are important features of the new Fal shoes! Riding on the crest of the new fashion wave is the lower continental, or Cuban, heel, which should give an added spring to the step to match the saucy bonnets which constitute a world wide feminine salute to the lovely Eugenie, last Empress of France anc wife of Louis Napoleon. The many models featuring the' lower heel dis prove once again the idea that one can be ultra smart only in extremely high heels. For street and formal afternoon wear, pumps will be the leading type shoe. Ties will follow and straps will be good, though not quitc^o popular In the materials the favorites will be suede, Jcidskin, calfskin and reptile, the first-named being picked by Maurice Wit, stylist for more than four hundred Thom McAn stores, as the leading shoe material for early Fall. As Winter sets in, however, kidskin and lightweight calfskin will slip into first place. Black will again be the most popular color, according to Mr. Wit, with brown in second place, and blue and wine tones widely affected by those women who like to match exactly their gowns and ensembles. In the evening field, for example, there is an interest ing new mesh material in metallic thread which can be dyed in a multi tude of delicate shades to match or harmonize with favorite gowns and ensembles. The Fall season marks the beginning of a new era in shoe values, according to the expert. Fine styles which hither to have been available only in the more expensive shoes, now are to be had at extremely moderate prices and in a wide variety of lasts and sizes. Thus Low heeled walking ties in the new mesh fabric, trimmed zvith brozvn calfskin it is possible to own an entire shoe wardrobe for the price one formerly paid for one or two pairs of shoes. Fight Harlequin Bugs To Save Cabbage Crop CLEMSON COLLEGE, S2pt. 2.— The harlequin cabbage bug, ; troublesome garden pest, is diffi cult to control, calling for various; j methods such as use of trap crops, 'praying, and clean cultivation, '°vf 7*if-o f i Lutken, extension en tomologist. These brilliantly colored red and black plant bugs feed on cabbage, i cpliards, turnips and other related i plants, according to Mr. Lutken, thus making practicable the use of trap crops of mustard, turnip, or other quick-growing plants, sever- ! al weeks before the regular plant ing season to attract the bugs so that they can be killed by burning or spraying with kerosene. These trap crops must be destroyed be fore they become a source of infes- .ation. k On the regular planting, the first bugs appearing can be destroyed by hand-picking, but when the in festation oecomes too widespread for this method and the young are appearing, Mr. Lutken suggests spraying with white soap flakes, one pound to six gallons of water. This spray is most effective when applied in cloudy weather, before sunrise, or late in the afternoon, when evaporation will be slow. ! Clean cultivation, destruction of weeds and crop remnants, and pre vention of the . accumulation of rubbish will aid greatly in the "control of the pests. IXI More farmers ought to carry more insurance and better insur ance, economists say, particularly insurance against serious damage to growing crops. z\t A man must be getting old when he is glad he doesn’t resemble the fellow in the collar ad. Youthful Beginners Defeat Champion Jelly Makers Thirteen-year-old Novice Wins ^Speed Contest” By Over Half an Hour T HIS is a story of youth. The past few years have seen youngsters walk away with honors and prizes in many fields; now they are entering the kitchen and showing their ciders how cooking should be done. Jelly-making is an art which has flourished for many, many years, and, up to now, experience has counted— at least in the minds of the practition ers—greatly toward success. But recently girls in their teens, or even below them, have taken up jelly making and have been breezing along with victories. There is Dorothy Dodd Marlatt, for example, the little nine- year-old New Jersey girl who started winning contests when she was five. Beals Prize 'Winner And there is Marie Kemp, the thir teen-year-old ^Wisconsin girl who, al though she had made jelly only three times before, challenged Mrs. F. J. Beilharz, a State Fair prize-winner, to a friendly “speed contest” and won by more than half an hour. Both Dorothy and Marie use the short-boil method, which includes t’ r use of bottled fruit pectin, thus as u - ing success. Here is what Mrs. Beilharz saio about her “contest” with Marie: “We both put our grape juice mixture on to boil at the very same instant. And ex actly 11 minutes and 56 seconds later Marie had eight glasses of jelly cool- Ajove—Marie Kemp /' mfhx Dodd Marlatt ing in the window. Tt w as just 42 min utes and 32 seconds, more than half an hour later, before I was through.” Mrs. Beilharz immediately adopted the short-boil method, not merely be- •’ cause of the saving of time, but be cause Marie’s jelly also tasted so good and had such a good color. The fresh fruit flavor is retained by this method * because so little of the juice is boiled away. Grapes are now in season, and little Marie Kemp’s time is a mark to shoot at. Below is the recipe she used when she finished her jelly so many minutes ahead of Mrs. Beilharz, and another one for making grape jam by the same certain, quick process. Grai < 4 cups (2 lbs.) juice • 7J4 cups (3!4 lbs.) sugar J4 bottle (J4 cup) fruit pectin Stern about 3 pounds fully ripe grapes tutrf crush thoroughly. Add Yt cup water, bring »■ to a boil, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Place fruit in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Measure sugar and juice into large sauce pan and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire and at once add fruit pectin, stirring ‘ constantly. Then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin hot jelly at once. Makes about 11 eight-ounce glasses. Crape Jam 4% cups (2>4 lbs.) prepared fruit 7 cups (3 lbs.) sugar J4 bottle (J4 cup) fruit pectin Slip skins from about 3 pounds fully ripe j grapes. Simmer pulp, covered, S minutes, j Remove seeds by sieving. Chop or grind t’ skins and add to pulp. Add cup water and if desired, grated rind of 1 orange. Stir * until mixture boils.
