Washington Girl Is to Help French in Canning WASHINGTON, June 2.—Miss Ola Powell, of the department of agricul- ture has sailed for Paris at the re- quest of the American committee on reconstruction of devastated France, to carry on, under direction of the French ministry of agriculture, food preservation work similar to that done by the: agricultural department and state agricultural colleges in this country. She will spend four months in France, confining her work to two or three districts. Miss Powell was in France doing similar work last year, at which time the directed a traveling unit Zor dem- onstration.of methods of home can- ning, visiting 34 yilages. Social Glub MORE THOUGHT TO HER ATT SHOULD BE GIVEN BY TEACHER Intellectuality Often Seems to Have Been Gained at Expense of Personal Appearance—Instructor With Pleasing Pres- ence Will Reap a Greater Measure of Success A very timely subject has recently been disposed in the Christian Science Monitor one that will appeal to all stu- dents and those who have been stu- just the person, but her manner an- people. Down through the secretary Ming fact! If it were true of merely one college, it would not be so lament- able, but when one considers it ap- Plies to several colleges, it challenges attention. Someone may protest that a college teacher is not supposed to be a pub- Ne speaker, but is she not virtually that? She stands before a class every day, the members of which demand of her substantially all that a critical public audience asks. They would like to have hér well dressed for they in- stinctively and inevitably accord great- er respect to an attractively attired teacher. Her salary is probably too small for her to dress expensively or even stylishly, but is it necessary when skirts are short for hers to sweep the floor? when they are narrow for .| bers to be full and billowy? Surcly a simple and well‘fitting blue or brown gown is not much more costly than a horribly unbecoming purple or green one. May not shoes be comfortable and still not be that type of flat- heeled, “ground-grippers” that seem to be so much in yogue among women teachers? Such shoes have been very suitably dubbed “five-room flats.” Appearances Truly Deceptive. ‘Too many teachers forget the exist- ence of the invaluable hair-net and the simplo-to-use magic curlers, If a stu- Gent brings a guest te class, she often whispers ‘Miss Smith is funny-look- ing, but sho really is a peach.” It is deplorable that excuses should have to be made for them, particularly when they are so.often “really peaches.”” _ It is perhaps assumed that culture and knowledge go hand in hand. To few teachers is denied the latter, but the possession of the former is more rare. An audience knows every pub- lic speaker will not have culture, but college students tray not be considered too exacting if they expect it of their instructors. Charm and individuality, so baffling to define, yet so easy to recognize, add immeasurably to a teacher’s influence and authority. Ask graduates of many years’ standing about: their college professors, and almost invariably they will name the men and women with those elusive attributes, charm and personality. If, in appointing women to college positions, more account were taken of these important qualities, there would be a surprising growth of enthusiasm and inspiration in our college classes. Cultivation of Voice Important. Since all teaching necessitates talk- ing to groups of students, it should not be considered unreasonable to ex- pect teachers to devote some time to the improvement of thelr voices. Yet they do not often do this. The aver age teacher’s voice is disagreeable. Unfortunately this is especially true of members of English departments. ‘Thin, feeble voices; high, squeakly voices; deadly monotonous, soporific voices; raucous voices, voices of every range—these are some of the voices frequently encountered—while the pleasant, attractive voice is the ex- ception. And this from scholdrly, learned professors ‘The abflity to interest ought to be a prime requisite in the teaching pro- fession, yet students sometimes elect @ course given by a woman of national reputation and prestige only to find themselves confronted tri-weekly by a person who not only bores them but who herself appears hopelessly bored. The motto over her class room door might well be: “Abandon all enthu- siasm, ye who enter here.” adits tae Gynecocracy Threatens, Congresswoman Declares ‘WASHINGTON, June 2.—Represen tative Alice Robertson, Oklahoma, who has been having a lively clash of views with the National League of Women Voters, has declared the league {s putting the country into a gynescocracy. “Gynecocracy,” she said, “that’s what we'd drift to if we followed the league.” Gynecocracy, so the dictionary says, means “government by women, in a depreciative sense, petticoat rule" Activities of Women’s Clubs ‘The last meeting of the Riverton Delphian Club for this year was held May 24, at the home of Mrs. A.

According to reports, the idea orig- inated with Miss “Tedd; Donnelly of Lake Forest. Miss Donnelly, who re- cently returned from a trjp around the world, with several of her debu- tante friends, has purchased a ranch in Wyoming. The location is not stated and no one in this part of the state seems to know anything about the transaction. The young women are said to plan to put in nart of the summer on the ranch and to maintain it as a permanent summer resort. The outline of the trip calls for the party to leave Chicago in a truck early in July and to reach Cheyenne a few days in advance of the Frontier Days celebration. They will take in the wild west celebration and then move on to the ranch. —— Parlor to Be Used fan The house may have a hundred windows, but the one that bangs in the wind of a stormy night disturbs everyone, while no one notices the ninetyinine that do the unobstrustive work for which they were made.

You would also take note of the fact that while Russia is influencing your hats as weil as gowns, the brim turns down and not up, Russia or no Russia, because complexions must be protected from the sun in the scheme of things. We can pay homage in golor and in embroidery, but we are resolved to hold the Russian tuftban and the off-theface hat generally in abeyance. Whille everyone talks of the pre- sidered that great thick rolls of ma- terial are used to a great extent either areund the base of the crown or on the edge of the brim, and that plumage plays its part as well. The Bioux duck, the white owl, and the parrot family are called upon to lay their offerings on the altar of fashion quite frequently, so that while there are @ great ‘uc-y more flowers than usual one must not feel that they sum up all that is fashionable in mil- Unery. The vogue of yellow appears to be here in earnest. The yollow buttercup and all sorts of flowers which are yel- low onty because fashion wishes them to be, are profoundly used on bleck and colored hats just now. The all yellow hat is a bit more difficult. Red still holds the palm for the hat of solid color, but when it comes to trim- ming, yellow is running red¢a clos: race. ‘The wornan who chooses a binck and White hai always chooses wisely. Magnolias, calla lilies, pond lilies and gardenias are smart as ever on a background of black milan, and white velvet is a more desirable decoration than the other way about. White timbos bound with black and trimmed smartly with a blackbird, are not only chic, but serviceable, A hat of this kind is a highly useful one for it does not jar with a black or white gown; nor is it amiss with a brightly-colored one. Speaking generally, it 1s more advisable if not in better taste to have the hat strike @ deeper color note than the costume.

A burned soup should never be served, for there is no more unpleasant fia. vor than that of burned milk; but it you should havo the fll fortune to let your cream of tomato curdle try this method of restoring it: Strain the curdled soup through a fine sieve and add to it a cupful of milk or water; then bring it to the boiling point. Now make a paste of a tablespoonful of cornstarch—if you have a pint of soup or more— with two tablespocnspoons of cold milk or water, and stir this into the hot liquid cooking it over hot water until it has thickened nicely. There is really no necessity for a tomato soup ever curdling, if it is cor- rectly made. All that one needs to remember is that the tomato, slice of onion, and seasonings are cooked to- gether, strained through a steve, re- turned to the fire and permitted to come to the bofling point. Then one- quarter of a spoonful of baking soda. is added, the lquid boiled for a few seconds, mixed with a pint of well made white sauce, and the soup serv- ed at once. Not a moment's delay be- fore serving is permissible after the white sauce and tomato lquor havo been combined, nor should any furth- er cooking be allowed. It is usually the moment or two of boiling after the two liquids have been blended that causes the disastrous curdling—La- dies Home Journal. pate bE Se, What Brings Happiness In friendships.
