Will not the dainty frocks be so mussed that pres- sing is necessary before they can he worn again? Is it not more trouble to press them than to hang them up the first thing after taking them off? It seems penny wise and pound foolish when such carelessness hap- pens. If the gowns are difficult to press they may never look quite as fresh and new unless sent to some expert to press, and then money is spent. If you iron the frocks vour- self then time instead of money is the price paid.

On the Line. Another way of saving work by care is seen in the way clothes are hung on a line to Ar: The necessity of hanging them right is nowhere more evident than in crepe garments that must not be ironed or they are ruined. Not only is the crinkle taken out by ironing. but the garments are made so much larger that they no longer fit. The best way to manage with crepe clothing after it has been washed is to shake it well to eliminate wrinkles, not of the cloth. The gar- ments may be lightly shaken across the crepe weave. but they should be shaken hard with the weave. For Instance, shake dresses and lingerie from the shoulders or the top. Hang them from these same places also. When the Wind Blows. When there is a wind the clothes will blow dry in fine style, for the wind will shake the unwanted wrinkles out and the clothes will have all the straightness and freshness of ironed garments without having the desired crinkly weave effect taken out. It is surprising how bad crepe ‘garments will look if not hung right.

S. A. 3 RBY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR, Wooster's Recall Advised. MONTREAL. May 27, 1776.—-Ctter hopelessness as to tha situation in Canada is the keynote of a report for- warded to Congress today by the com- missioners sent by that body to in-| westizgate and “réport’' upon the con- dition of the army of the United Colonies. “You will have a faint idea of our situation,” say the commissioners, “i you figure to yourself &n army ‘broken and disheartened, half of it under in- oculation and other diseases, saldiers without pay, without discipiine, and altogether reduced to live from hand to mouth, depending on the scanty and precarious supplies of a few half- starved cattle, and trifling quantities of flour, which have hitherto been picked up in different parts of the country. “Gen. Thomas is now at Chamblee under the smallpox. Being taken with that diserder he left camp at Sorel, and wrote to Gen. Wooster to come and take command. When the interest of our country and the safety of your army are at stake, we think it & very improper ‘time 1o conceal our sentiments, either with respect to per- sons or things. ‘Gén. Wooster is, in our opinion, totally unfit to your Army, and conduct the wa | have hitherto prevailed on him to re- main in Montreal. His stay in this |colony is unnecessary, and even pre- | judicial to our affairs. We would | therefore advise his recall.” ‘When Congress observes that this report comes from their staunch com- | patriot Dr. Benjamin Franklin, they will readily enough realize the seri- |ousness of the situation here. Dr. | Franklin would be the last man in all t | the colonies to offer discouragement to | the cause of American liberties or to {see the dark side of things if any bright side can be discovered. As to the recommendation for Gen. Wooster's recall, it should be said that his service to the colonies has already | been great, but not as a commander of a large army. His present appoint- | ment by Gen. Thomas was but a tem- | porary one, pending the recovery of | Gen. Thomas or the arrival of some other commander to he appointed by Congress and Gen. Washington. |71t ia not expected that Gen. Bene- dict Arnold, now the ranking officer stationed at Montreal, will receive the general command. It is more prob- able that Gen. John Sullivan or Gen. Horatio Gates will come from conti | nental headquarters, while Gen. Philip | Schuyler remains at the headquarters of the Northern Army at Albany. (Copyright, 1926.) Johnny Sees Buzztail. Thump!

Johnny rubbed his eyes. “Ready for what?" he asked mildly. ““T'o see that the Old Pasture is the safest place in all the Great World,” sald Old Jed Thumper. “Didn't you agree to go with me at sun-up this morning?” Then Johnny Chuck remembered. “But I haven't had any breakfast,” he protested. “What of it?” snapped Old Jed Thumper. “We can breakfast as wi go along. Tl show you some « as sweet and fine any you ever tasted in all vour life.” This sounded interesting so Johnny shook himself, which was his way of making his toilet, and declared that he was ready.

Johnny Chuck heard a pecullar rattling or buzzing noise. He never had heard anything “quite like before. “Old Jed Thumper turned and ran around the edge of this big flat rock. Johnny Chuck wondered why he did it. He himself started to cross the big flat rock, but that buzzing sounded louder than ever. Johnny stopped. That buzzing rattle seemed to be coming from the middle of that big flat rock. Then Johnny saw a big snake colled there, and he discovered that the tail of that snake was mov- ing very fast and it was this that was making that buzzing rattle. Johnny stopped right where he was. “Excuse Mme,” said he, “‘but I think ¥ou must he Buzztail the Rattlesnake, of whom T have often heard."” - “Your thinking does you credit,” re plied Buzztail, for that is who it wa. “And I think you must be Johnn | Chuck. shouldn’t be friends.

Gemini. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are distinctly favorable, and continue so until sunset. They then become rath- er adverse. During the day anything that savers of constructive effort or moral uplift can be safely attempted, and the signs denote success. It is not, however. a good occasion for travel, nor will any fruitful results he obtained by drastic or radical changes. Congervative progress should be the keynote of all operations. In the eve. ning the vibrations become sluggish and the indications point to an undue sense of dissatisfaction not only with vourself but with others. Under such conditions it will be advisable to seek some form of light recreation as a means of relaxation. Children tomorrow will be rather - disappointing in their early days. They will fail to shown signs of lustiness that are usually associ- ated with the perfod of infancy. On longer acquaintance, however, they will steadily improve and, although not entirely immune to sickness, will develop into strong, healthy specimens of adulthood. ‘Their dispositions will be cheerful, although not free at all times from mondiness and moroseness These fits will only be of short dura tion and they will always be more than anxious to make up for any un pleasantness their lapses from nor. malcy may have caused. They will be ambitious, quick to learn and ready to work.

Curi v enough. both his parents and mine were divorced when we were very young and jye were hoth thrown on our own resources when we were mere children. so"that we have seen and learned a great deal more than other young people of our age.

He also says that he is afraid of life and ir trying to beat it, and he feels that our parents’ experfence Is a warning to us, but I don’t see it that way. What can I do to make him look at this from a different angle? TULSA. Answer: If by “beating life’ the young man means attempting to escape the responsibilities and the sorrows of life, he is trying the impossible. It can't be done. KEvery man's fate is written on his forehead, say the Arabs, and none escape. Don't wonder that the children of divorced parents get a warped view of matrimony and see it onlv as a place of strife and bickering. and that the have small faith in a love that is able to endure the strain that domestic life puts upon ft. Rut that one's father and mother failed tn make a success of marriage is no more reason for not risking it than it would be not to zo into the grocery husiness hecause one's parents had failed in that. h marriage stands on its own feet. It ia an individual matter, and is a success or a fallure as that particular man and woman make it. Our fathers and mothers are just as often a warning to us as an example, and the children who have escaped’ from the ruins of a wrecked home should at least have gained the wisdom that would teach them how to bulld the foundations of their own houses so solidly that they would stand. Certainly the boy who has had a philandering father or a drunken one or a no-account one. and has seen the sorrow and trouble it brought on his mother and how it broke her heart and ruined their home life, may well feel that he will guard better the happiness of a woman who intrusts her SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY Forgetting. Kvery now and then someone rises to state that there is no use in learning the course of study In school or col- lege because one forgets it six months after leaving school. “Why, take my case, for instance,” the business man says. “I took four yvear' Latin and| four years' math. Stood high in my classes, t0o. You think I could pass an examination in them now? I could get as far as a line of Latin and I can just about master the multiplication tables up to twelve times. And you wouldn't exactly call me a failure, would you? No, we wouldn't. And we wouldn't call the schools a failure either. Nor would we say that a pupil ought not to learn thoroughly his mathematics and his languages even though he does forget them the year after he leaves the school. They have done their work: in education. They may not be present to the young person’s consciousness, but they are present in the strength and ‘the clarity in which they were stored fn his subconscious mind.
