C., Jan. 26.—In or- der to protect the white pine forests of the country from the disease known “as the white pine blister rust, it is posed to place a Federal quar on shipments of 5-leaved pine cultivated black currants from eastern states. A public hearing this question will be held by the Fed- eral Horticultural board at the de- ,partment of agriculture, Washington, on February 4, at 10 a. m. which it is proposed to quarantine on this account are New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania The white pine blister rust, like cl- trus blight and blister blight, is an imported disease which was intro- duced into this country on nursery stock before the passage of the Fed- 1era] plant quarantine law. Ninety per cent. of the infect s now in Amerl- ca came from single Ggrman nur- sery. The disease, it is said, can be controlled in the eastern states, where , but if it finds it way into the western forests there is no likell- hood that its spread can be success- fully checked. At the present time these forests are free from blister rust and can only be introduced into them through nursery stock of 5- leaved pines or curran A quaran- 4ine st the relatively limited trat. fic in this stock is, therefore, believed to be a necessary precaution. it now ex Additional Safeguard.

The importance of protecting the white pine forests from the blister rust be inferred from the fact that in New England, New York and Rennsylvania alone there are still 15 billion feet of mature white pine val- ued at not-1 than $7 00,000, ana in the Lake states, 12 billion feet val- ved-at $96,000,000. In the enormous forests of the west the white pine and sugar pine are among the most valu- At a conservative estimate there are about 30 billion feet' of western white pine which are worth at least $90,000,000. Of these, 20 bil: lion feet are in private holdings and 10 billion feet in National forests.

In addition sto -its reffect upom this standing timber, the spread of the disease would seriously interfere with the planting of trees. At the present $ime the white pines are among the principal varieties planted, not only by private owners, but also by cities, states, and the National government. If blister rust is allowed to. become prevalent, much land more suitable for forestry than for agriculture and which could otherwise bear splendid forests of white pine will have to re- nimin waste or be devoted to some In- ferior ‘tree. It is estimated that in New England, New York and Penn- sylvania, there are not less than 10 »n acres to which this applic- able and that in the Lake states there are another 10 .million. \ The proposed quarantine will not only be an additional protection to the ereat western forests, which are nat- urally isolated from the east by tree- less plains, but it will protect as well | those portions of the eastern states! ‘which now lie outsile of the infected area.

They are admirable for small women too and The top coat shown at the extreme left is an exceedingly smart one, yet so simple that any home dressmaker can make it without the least little bit of difficulty. It is loose, held by the belt and the collar can be turned up about the throat as it is here, or rolled down over the coat. In the illustration, the material is duvetyn with trimming of fur, but this is a coat that can be copied in the most serviceable cloth for every- day use, or in velvet for dress occasions, and be equally correct in both. For the 16 year size will be needed, 514 yds. of material 36 in. wide, 414 yards 44, 434 yds. 54, with 5 yds. of fur banding 114 in. wide for collar and cuffs. The middy costume is always a desirable one for school and college wear. This middy is a new one, with big patch pockets and with the fulness held by the smocking that is so fashionable this season. In the picture, it is made of blue crépe de chine and worn over a blue serge skirt, but the model is a good one for all the materials that girls like for garments of the sort, for the simple cottons and linens as well as for the crépes and silks. The skirt is straight and plaited. It can be finished at the high waist line over webbing, or, cut off and joined to a smooth fitting yoke with suspenders attached. For the 16 year size will be needed for the middy, 534 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 334 yds. 36, 3 vds. 44; for the skirt will be needed, 4 yds. of material 36 or 44 yds. 54. in. ‘wide, 23§ = N Design by May Manton. 8817 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Loose Coat for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. 8809 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Middy Blouse for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. 8750 Plaited Skirt for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. 8833 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Coat with Plaits for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. 1 i 8798 (With Basting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Skirt with Plaits for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years.

In the picture, the suit is made of whip- trimming of fur, but it can be copied in any seasonable material. The velveteens are very charming this season and are much liked for girls’ suits, the velvet-finished cloths are being much worn, broadcloth is always in demand and the ‘serge finished fabrics are also exceedingly fashionable. The skirt is plain at front and at back to give the panel effect, with plaits at the sides.

MY STYLE DIARY —— > By DOROTHY CLARKE January 26. I have looked over my dance dresses for this evening, and T think I'll wear the new one which I was S0 un- decided about bringing. I want to put on something just a little dif- ferent tonight, as so many notable people are to be present. The gown is made of turquoise blue silk net, at least the skirt is,—gathered quite full and stiffened by {wo lines of taffeta pleatings, pinked on the edge | in true old-fashioned style, with a silk covered cord running through the center. Between these two lines is a sort of vine-work with huge velvet pansies tinted in all the natural color: A basque of taffeta is shirred at the seams, ending on a line of pleatings around the top and form- ing apologies for sleeves. There are a few small pans on the left side, at the waistline. HOW SPRING MOTOR COATS WILL LOOK THER Undyed chamios skin is used for this good cut of a motorcoat.

Hilles, chairman of the republican national committee, before leaving for New York yesterday after attending thesession of the sub-committee on arrangements for the party national convention in June, discussed the pos- sible candidates of Col. Roosevelt and Justice Hughes for the republican nemination for President: and urged the necessity for the adoption of uni- form national primary election laws by all the states. p In’ speaking of Col. Roosevelt, Chairman Hilles said: “All the in- formation I have on the subject is o the effect that Col. Roosevelt is not a4 candidate for the republican nom- ination for president. He has de- clined to premit his name to go on the primary ballot in the only three state where it has been suggested, Minnesota, Nebraska and Michigan. That indicates that he is not a candi- date. In the statement issued by Chairman Perkins and the progressive national committee it was made plain that any reasonably satisfactory man would be acceptable as the republi- can nominee. They insisted that they meant just what they said and we will take the statement at its face value. I think we will be able to nominate a man who will be satis- factory to all elements of the party :\n]d that our candidate will be elect- ed. “In regard to Justice Hughes, no one knows just what his attitude is toward the presidency. In discussing the subject with a friend in 1912. Justice Hughes said when he went on the United States Supreme Court bench he took the veil and renounced the world. I think he was in earnest when he made that statement but whether he has since changed his mind do not know. There is no man big enough to refuse the presidency, in my opinion. If he were nominated without his consent I have no idea what he would do. As I said yester- day, T believe we have a number of able men in our party for candidates, #nd I think that candidate will be born in the convention.” Conflicting Provisions, Chairman Hughes called attention to the conflicting provisions of the direct prekidential primary laws adopted by the different states and expressed the opinion that it would result in much uncertainty and con- fusion. There will be 985 delegates in the next republican national con- vention and of this number 603, or above 61 per cent. will be chosen b, direct - primary. In 1912 about per cent. of the delegates were elect- ed by direct primary. “There is an urgent need for uni- form presidential promaries in all the states in my opinion,” said Chairman hilles. one Bros, Native frcsh, 33c eggs, every do: Russell Native eggs 3¢, Russell Bros.—advt BYRNES DROPS DEAD.
