The Good Old ' Family ‘Ice-Bag’ An Ice-Bag for the Sic! room—In casc of sickness, . where an ice-bag has to be filled through the night, make a three-cornered bag of flan- nel with a draw-string around the top. Drop the pointed . end of the bag into a pitcher and draw the string tight around the top of the pitcher. Crack the ice about the size of walnuts, fill the bag with ice, and cover the pitcher with a towel folded several times. The ice will keep all night and saves constant chipping of ice and it is very ecasy to fill the ice- bag from this pitcher.—Mrs. E. M. E. Fla,, Good House- keeping Institute. The Ice-Bag has supplanted the hot-water bag in the treatment of many ills. It should be used, however, under the direction of your doctor.

Deming, di- rector of the Department of Ameri- lcanization of the Connecticut state {board of education, to be liberal in {appropriating funds for Americaniza- | Ition work in Washington. ! In a letter received yesterday by {Arthur C. Moses, chairman of the {local Americanization, Mr. Dem- ing stated he was writing to the con. {gressional delegation on this subject. | He also hinted at federal supervision {of this work, and touched on the pros- | pects of a national convention to meet at least once a year, Urges Recognition of Work. “I am certainly in favor of some recognition of the need of Americani- zation work, or adult education, under | the supervision of the federal govern~ ment,” said Mr. Deming. “This is on lof the most vital educational issue of the times, and the illiteracy in the United States among native and for- eign born is appalling. It is distinet- | Iy an adult problem, and should be recognized as such. 1 am in favor of a national education to meet once a year to be attended by all inter- ested in adult education.’ Addrexs Scheduled. : Representative M.

Reorganization of the State Depart- ment, and consular services in the interests of business efliciency to meet new commercial problems dominant in in- ternational relations, taking the for- eign service out of the hands of a few wealthy people and making it a self- supporting field of endeavor for am- bitious young Americans, was ap- proved by the House yesterday. This reorganization is covered in the administration bill fathered by Representative John J. Rogers of Massachusetts, which now goes to the Senate. _Amalgamation of the foreign serv- ice into a single organization, with diplomatic and consular branches and complete interchangeability of per- sonnel, would be provided by the bill. A single revised salary scale would be augurated and extra allowances uld be authorized for representa of the United States at foreign apitals, the purpose being to elimi- nate the possession of large private {means as an essential qualification for appointment. Increased compensation would be given many consular and diplomatic officers below the grade of minister, and the civil service retirement act would be extended to the foreign ervice. Representatives Black and Blanton. democrats, of Texas led a fight gainst the measure, Mr. Blanton ob- cting to the added expense which he said its passage would entail, and Mr. Black opposing features of the bill ling with the civil service.

Just as in France, where all youth- ful eves are turned toward Paris, and in England, where they long for Lon- don,” said Commissioner Estill, thou. sands of young men and women in the United States seem to have the idea that opportunity awaits them in New York or Chicago or some other large city.

Mrs. Estill, who accompanied her husband from New York, will discuss Salvation Army work among women and children this afternoon at the home of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, 1601 21st street northwest.

Lewis, national pres- ident, made public today by Jolm! ophy, a Pennsylvania district lead- who signed it. Tn_his letter Mr. Brophy informed Mr. Lewis of his resignation as chair- man of the union’s special committee on the subject. and demanded that his superior take steps to forward nationalization plans, notified him that the committee was “appealing directly to the rank and file” for support of the scheme and asserted that workers desired its adoption and would *not wait long for any Jeader. Committee to Draft Pl The committee, Mr. Brophy con- tinued, had been properly authorized {0 draft a nationalization plan and | 1o agitate in its favor. Discussion and- publieity given the scheme, he added, had created an ‘“irresistible tide in its favor.” A “Who is the King Canute that will) sit on tie beach,’ Mr., Brophy de- aunded of the miners” union chief, and tell the tide to quit rising? TIt, will splash him_and float away his chair of ofice. The miners are feel- ing the power of an iCea and they see the driving force of an idea. * ® 1 The time has come for a united front and a spirited advance. Will you as a leader give us the lead?” Demand Made Lewis. Mr. Lewis was asked further to throw open union publications to presentation of the plan, to take the platform in its interest, and to put it before the Federal Coal Commis- sion. The committee would carry on the effort, he was told, without “the support you promised.’” The plan which has led to the controyersy within the union pro- poses the purchase of coal mines by | Uie government and their operation Iy a national council whosé members | uld he chosen from three groups, miners, the ciecutives of mining ations and the consuming' public. !
