It has brought many people to the city for the dem- onstration and the manner in which they have been convinced, indicated by expression and trade, is going to be of much future benefit both to those people and to business. The result will bé as in other centers where such plans have been tried out, a constant- ly increasing appreciation of the ben- efits which have been attained. It has drought out strongly the im- portance of cooperative effort and while there may have been mistakes they only serve to better prepare for any future efforts. Out of it all much valuable experience has been gain- ed. It is shown that business exten- sion 18 to be gained through telling the public, and those Wwho are in the fleld to buy are susceptible to a con- vincing appeal, when traveling facili- ties, trade advantages and publicity are brought to their attention. By its is a part of the great uplift of human- ity now everywhere staged, and at the same time it is a novel form of re- creation.” It is frequentl the city which thinks 1t has no for such an un- dertaking which has the best oppor- tunity and gets the best results. There are no except in imag- instion + | Time alone will reveal the amount of sincerity witich is back of the state- ments being made by ®Pancho Villa concerning his friendliness for the United States and just how correct is the distrust which is being aroused against him. It will require time even for Villa to prove his position, even though faith is placed in his utter- ances. ‘While the’ rebels may have better reasons than others for taking advan- ‘tage of the American feeling against Huerta, Mexico has never been united against a forelgn foe in such a way that it would make it surprising for Villa to take the stand which he has, if his declarations can be believed. It is a noteworthy fact that during the Spanish invasion of Mexico by Cortez in 1519, during the Mexican war under Generals Taylor and Scott in 1847 and agaim in 1862 when the French under Maximilian entered that country that a solid front was never presented to the enemy. Ma- terial assistance was given in each and every case by the Mexicans to the in- vaders, the American army having been furnished much valuable service by the Mexican Indians in wending their way to Mexico City, while the French invasion was stimulated by Mexicans. In each instance, if direct ald was not givem to the foreigners many revelutions were started to give the Mexican government trouble. Knowing the declared position of this ceuntry and its friendliness to the ‘Mexican people there is even more reason now for the manifestation of approval by Villa of the step which this country has taken. SHOULD BE SETTLED. There would be cause for greater rejoicing if the armistice which has been declared in Colorado coal camps could be made something more than a temporary affair. The state of af- fairs in that region has shown that something more than a lull in the trouble is required. It is a settlement of their labor war rather than a con- tinuance on which the leaders should be planning and if those who are in positions of influence have the inter- ests and welfare of their people at heart their greatest efforts will be di- rected to such an end. Colorado authorities have the op- portunity for the exertion of the greatest influence for the adjustment of the trouble which has developed into_such a deplorable disregard for and “display of law and order, and the time to do it is now, before there is any resumption of hostilities. What is needed now as has always been the case is a disposition upon the part of those who are directing the trouble, to get together and settle their dif- ferences in a peaceful manmner rather| than by endeavoring through force, lawlessness and the waste of human life to stand for the impossible wheth- er it is obtainable or not. There is without doubt fault on both sides and it is likely that each side would hav to make 8Ome concessions, but s would be preferable to the continua- tion of such conditions as exist there at the present time. There is cer- tainly plenty of work in Colorado coal field for the peacemakers and no op- cooperative spirit it has served to get | portunity for the advancement of their business out of .some of its old time | efforts should be allowed to pass un- ruts which could well be abandoned. The industrial exposition and the merchants’ week have a value which cannot wisely be ignored and they have become identified with the busi- ness activity of the city in a way which should make them a permaner: yearly feature. DEPENDS ON HUERTA. What will result from the offer of mediation which has been made by the three South American republics depends entirely upon what consider- ation is given it by Huerta. In this undertaking as well as in the entire unpleasantness surrounding the indig- nity to this country which precipitated the situation as it exists today, every- thing rests with Huerta. The desire of this country is for peace and as one of the leaders in the movement for its establishment throughout the world and the position which it has taken in behalf of arbitration of international disputes, it must naturally be expect- ed and prepared to live up to its teach- ings. This government has taken such a position in regard to war that when it finds itself pushed into difficulties and mediation is offered it does not as was well said by the president “feel at liberty to decline it.” The hops is general that some such solution of the matter as mediation can secure will prevail and in this connection it is a significant fact that the offer comes from these South American countries, which, represent- ing Latin America as they do, are bound to have strong influence from that standpoint in the interest of peace and civilization, and “a new Gy of mutual cooperation and confidence in America” Whatever becomes of it, it is a magnificent thing that it should bs attempted displaying as it does & growing interest in the elimina- tion of war. The time is fow ripe, i it 18 to prevent a more serious phase of the Mexican trouble, and the suc- cess of the medlators’ tender of good offices to the Huerta government will be awaited with keen interest, EVERY CITY NEEDS IT. The city of Indianapelis is discour- aging an effort thére which every city needs. This is thé élean up move- ment and it {8 not responding to the exoelient appeaia contalned therein because the poeition is taken by the board of public works that the city is cleaning the streets and alleys all the time and that a speclal week for such A PUrpose is unnecessary. In this all the time effort Indlanapelis may have cause for congratulations over other cities, but the clean up movement is an individual as well as a public movement, and In which everyone is working for the same purpose stimu- lated by the commendable demands of beautification and health. The Indianspolls board oonsiders that if there are any complaints they should be statsd but in such regsonm- ing. as Is weil said by the New Yerk Post “It overleoks the main peint.

Putting out the American flag takes on a new significance. Louisiana has a railroad %or sale. There is a chance for Alaska to strike a bargain, After all the maneuvering by the pork barrel brigade fate portends a disastrous rout, And still there are some who cahnot push the country into actual offensive warfare fast enough. It may have been a very poor maple syrup season but the sugar supply is bound to be just as large. Trinidad, Col, is furnishing -some tales of atrocities which are second only to those of the Balkan villages. Even the weather man oing his best for the prevention of fiytime until the swatters get properly organized. Even though an administration opens with a plan to establish world peace that is no guarantee that it will not result in war. The doubt of Villa’s sincerity must make this leader understand the diffi- culties to be encountered in living down a bad reputation. It 18 a safe guess that the war ma- néuvers planned for the New Eng- land states this summer will not take place in the manner expected. The man on the coiner says: The world would grow better faster if ev ery married man would try to be half as good as his wife thinks he ought to be. If a battery of typewriters or lino- types had stodd any chance of settling this war question they have bee called upon for enough action already to accompli: There is no denying the true mean- ing of the movement of troops to Vera Cruz when the transport which ca ries the soldiers also carries a lar, consignment of coffins. ‘When a Boston doc need probably convinced c is a good proportion of patie: have & mind of their own. ‘With the serious condition of Em- peror Francis Joseph’s health and the knowledge of the inclinations of the prince whe will succeed him, it is not # jeke that Austria should worry, —_— It is ghbeut time that the mevies wore turaing out seme highly inie esting pictures on the war in Mexico, It furnishes the chance to put the imaginatlen into operation on lively curgent events. Phe Baughters of the American Rev- olution in promising to do all in their power to assist the government at th% “time probably realize that there is likely to be a chance to organize another patrietic feminine society in the future, SUGGESTIONS FOR . THE HOUSEWIFE. To darn large holes in- uickly, h thal darn is finished. This not omly en- ables one to make a beautifully even u‘:z&buz it strengthens the mended Pl To set the color in any wash fabric, use a tablespoonful of Glauber salt to every two gallons of warm, water. This is non-injurious, even to the finest fabric, and a very cheap remedy. Purchase the salt at any drug store. It will last quite a long time. To keep-your cooking utensils from smelling, never allow them to stand and dry, after being emptied of their contents, before washing. Put coid water in them immediately if you cannot wash them at once. To clarify fat, cut @ few pieces of raw potato and then heat it siowly in the oven or on top of the stove. When it ceases td bubble strain through cheesecloth ana let it stand until firm. Keep in a cool place To whiten scorched linen, wet it with soapsuds and lay it in the sun if the scorch is a mild one, or boil it in a gabon of milk into which a pound of whité soap has been shaved. To remove lice from plants, try a teaspoonful of ammonia, to one quart of water, sprinkling this oil every day. It will cause the lice to disappear and will not injure the plants. IN PLACE OF HAT PINS. If you have trouble keeping your hat on just at the right angle, sew a very narrow elastic loop half an inch long, the color of the hat, to the hat on the under side directly in back, and one at each side and in front, if desired al- though the one in front is not abso- lutely necssary. Pin the hat on by means of long hairpins passed through these loops. Be sure and use very long hairpins, so that you can get & firm grip of the hair. It is often a difficult matter to find a place through which to thrust a hatpin without jab- bing through the trimming, but by using these little loops, which will not show, the hat will be as firm as a rock and always in place, and it will not be disfigured by pinholes. One may possess only two boudoir caps, but seemingly a great many more by the addition of a different colored bow of ribbon now and then. Sometimes it may not be more than a knot of ribbon, a three or four inch piece left cver from a longer piece used for trimming. It is a wise plan | to save all scraps of ribbon three inch- es long or over. Not only do they make boudoir cap bows and knots, but they may be used to ornament un- derigarments. There is one popular girl who trims her boudoir caps en- tirely with bows made from candy [ box ribbons. It is a pretty fashion to have a knot of ribbon upon the cap to | match the kimono or the ribbons of the nightrobe. HEALTH AND BEAUTY If you must do much housework, use olive oil on the skin of the hands. Rub in a teaspoonful of it from time to time, and then dry the hands on a crash towel. The il removes much grime and dirt and does not irritate the hands as constant washing does. Fine, pure rice powder, scented with any desired odor, may be dusted over the hands in warm weather to help keep them from excessive perspiring. They may also be bathed in cool water to which rose water or cologne has been added. Alcohol patted on them with a soft cotton cloth is also help- ful. If you are nervous think of your knees. Control them when you walk, and you will walk evenly, easily and definitely. Control them when yon stand, and you will stand quietly. Con- trol them when you sit down and you will k gradually into a chalr not drop ddenly into it. Controi them when you are sitting still and yeu will gain repose. Dr. Adolph Tournade of. Lyons, France, in an effort to see the influ- ence at work upon fat, had a swine- herd and a goose girl stuff pigs and geese until they were many pounds overweizht. He then Selected various pigs and geese and put them' through various gymnastics, At first for only a few minutes and gradually there- after for a longer and longer time, the creatures were made to walk, run, roll} swim, gallop and climb. They were also massaged. According to the French physician, climbing, bending and swimming caused s reduction in weight, while walking, running, roll- ing, galloping and lack of sleep had no effect whatever. NECKLACE FADS. Sometimes two and three necklaces are worn at one time. The fash- ionable necklace is from twenty-seven to thirty inches in length, with beads in every color, which may be either uniform or graduated in size. Some of the combinations are ‘amber and jet, coral and jet, jade and amber and jet anq pearl. Silk or bead tassels, in place of a pendant, are new. These necklaces are of various col- ored beads, with the tassel match- ing one of the colorings. Such neck- laces can be easily made at home, as the -beads can be purchased singly, and it requires no effort to string them | in pretty combinations. Use the un- breakabie thread that comes especially for this purpose. Large round, brightly colored beads will make a neckiace in cubist design. You can | make up any combination, and feel | sure that your necklace is fashionable.

DICTATES OF FASHION. Long, loose cloaks of silk are trim- med with narrow pinked or scalloped 1ufties. Another feature emphasized on these are the yokes, which fit { smoothly over the shoulders. The new colors that continue to please are the sweet pea shades of red, pink, violet and purple, mandarin yel- low, Sevres blue, sealing wax red, cypress greén, putty r and almond. For evening iolibttes the fashionable coiffure shows the bair drawn high on top of the head and elaborately adorn- ed with pins and _combs., This ar- ringement exposes the nape of the neck and the ears, and often the tem- ples are bured as' well, ' The high dressing has called Ints favor the coquettish little “earlocks” 'of the eizghteenth century, Tulip vellow is a new color that seems to fit the Spring picture very well.

FLOWER BASKETS. Long narrow wicker baskets, either enameled white or painted with dull It shuinanytes fashionable for cut owers, and very lovely they look. A big gilt basket full of lillies of the val- ley and mauve orchids arranged as if growing out of a deep bed of fern moss was tied at each end with big bows of satin ribbon the exact tint of the orchids; a white basket laden with daf- fodils and mimosa was tied with tan- gerine, and an aluminum one with pink roses and violets had pale green bows. MEASURING CUPS. | Two measuring cups kept in the kitchen will save rinsing out one a great many times. Keep one cup for dry ingredients, the other for Hquids. Have both the same size. TO POLISH TRAYS. Japanned trays that have become marked from hot water may be made to look like new again by rubbing the marks with sweet oil and polishing with a lttle dry flour on a soft duster. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. When stringing beads or sewing them on to any material, always have the thread well waxed. It will be stronger and easier to work with, as it does not become knotted easily. To find whether hooks and eyes will wash without leaving iron rust marks, test them with a magnet. If they can be drawn by the magnet they contain steel and should not be put upon wash dresses. T#im the ends of wide ribbon sashes with silk fringe if you would be in first fashion. The fringe should be sewed on under a hem In the ribbon’s end. It can be slip-stitched to the under side of the hem, so it will not show through. Remember that it is never economy to put cheap lace or insertion on a gatment that has to be washed fre- quently. It will fray and wear out long before the garment is worn and will have to be renewed, thus incur- ring double expense. It is better to buy good lace in the first place. Remember, if you are making a dresg or blouse for a growing girl let the sleeves be amply long, so that the child will not outgrow them before the dress is worn out. Three narrow tucks placed- between the elbow and shoulder serve as a way to “let down” sleeves after the arm has grown. If you like lace frills on your frocks choose a pattern that has a good, strong edge, so that it will not fray out in the wash. Linen torchon and cluny both launder beautifully, and so does Irish crochet lace. Shadow lace and those of the valenciennes variety tear out quickly when they are wash- ed. 1f there is no bodkin at hand, thread tape or ribbon by catching it to a safety pin. closing the pin and using the curved portion of the head to push through the casing or hem. Fall- ing the safety pin, wrap the end of the ribbon around the end of a match- stick and push that through the cas- ing. It will draw the ribbon with it. CARVING. Carving is really an art, and one that should be cultivated. Whether the bad carving so often seen is due to a dull knife or lack of practice is an open question. Skill, not strength, is the chief requisite for carving, For the lazy and inexperienced, and for those who wish every comfort for one's seif and guest, the poultry coughs and cugldl should try a bottle of Vinol.

Out of 323,399 people employed In the manufacturing industries of New Jersey there are 80,542 women. In Berlin there is a novel store where the picture of women who wish to become brides are exhibited. knows As a result of the efforts of women in Jacksonville, Fla., the city has se- cured & proper supply of water. After counting the losses for slack season, it is estimated that three- quarters of the woman workers of New York city recelve less than $400 a year. England has many women employed in unique trades. For instance, there are S5 woman plumbers there, 231 blacksmiths, 56 carpenters and 14 masons. For gallant service during the Bal- kan war, Mrs. Kate Penner and Ger- trude Pendel, English nurses coninect- ed with the Constantinople hospital, have been given Red Cross medals by the German emperor. CLO’I’IES IN BAG. . An easy way to keep clothes damp for ironing is to sew up a bag from an old sheet and dip in water and don ot | wring dry. After clothes are damp- ened place in bag and tle. Clothes treated in this way will iron more easily and stay damp longer than if placed in a basket and covered in the usual way. SPOTTED TABLE LINEN. Egg stained table linen should be soaked in cold water until almost all traces of the stain are removed. If placed directly in the boller the stain wiil set and it will be almost impos- sible to remove. RECIPES. Breakfast Biscuit—Sift together one quart of flour, two heaping teaspoon- fuls of baking powder and a half tea- | spoonful of salt. Mix a half teacupful of melted butter in rather less than a quart of sweet milk; add to the flour, Deating weil until the batter is stiff enough to drop from the spoon into a buttered tin like drop cakes. The oven should be very hot or the bis- cuit will not be light and puffy. Quince Puff—Pare six good sized tart apples, cut them into thin slices and put them into a saucepan with a quince, also cut in thin slices. Add half cupful of water, cover the sauce. pan and cook slowly for a half hour. Press through a sieve, return to the fire and add the yolks of three eggs beaten with a half cupful of sugar; { cooled stir in the well beaten whites set away to cool.
