When we consider what breakfast caps and headbands for morning wear will do to help out In a good cause, we feel like giving them a rising vote of thanks. And now long come the new ones, gay and - -dainty?some that conceal the lack of hairdresslng and make up for deficiencies, and some that point with pride to n well-made coiffure. Their name is legion and litany store that carries them they make up an alluring company. Just the same things that have been wed are again used to muke the last arrivals In morning head wear, nets and laces, ribbons, little flowers and occasional ornaments. It is In the manipulation of rlhhons that these itmr things are particularly interesting. An example appears in the pretty hreakfpst enp pictured; which is simply u full cap of cream Colored net wun ft unna *?i giosciy smrred, narrow utiii ribbon edpert with trills of vnl 'I.ice, about the face.

By far the most important check the weevil receives is dry weather luring June and July. It has been F 'ound that in Texas and other West- e ?rn states an average of about a t luarter of all the grubs in the fields a ire killed by heat and dryness.

Garden peas icked fresh from the garden, cook d and served with cream and buter, make a dish that would make nyone enjoy his meal. For that reaon, every gardener should include ome peas in his list of vegetables or the garden, recommends R. F. 'ayne, extension horticulturist lor he State College of Agriculture. Peas will grow well on a wellrained sandy to clay-loam. A well ulverized seed, bed should be preared and the seed sown 2 to 3 inches eep in rows 18 inches apart for the warf varieties, up to 3 . to 4 feet part for the tall varieties. Sojne rowers plant in double rows 6 inches part and 2% to 3 feet between these ouble rows. % A high grade fertilizer applied at he rate of 500 to 900 pounds per ere, will usually give good results, f manure is used, it should, be aplied on the preceding crop. Of the wrinkled ^seeded varieties horhas dwarf) and Laxtonin fdwarfl. Telenhone ftallT. and Tiampion of England (tall), arc| oodri while Alaska (dwarf). Prolific ixtra' Early (dwarf), and Ameer dwarf) are the best of the smooth ceded varieties. The crop should be harvested beore the pods have hardened.

The room Is first dusted, then the vacuum clenner is used on upholstery, hangings, walls, and carpets or rugs, and finally, the . floor Is dusted. By thts method, of cleaning fewer articles need to be moved, no dust is scattered, and more dirt- Is actually removed. A vacuum cleaner, therefore, saves time and labor. me in a bad way.
