Numerous are the occasions where secidents in the highways occur through the failure of the drivers of Gther vehicles as well as autos to ob- serve the requirements of the law authorities to see that they are en- forced. 1t is quite evident that it fhere was a proper regard for what is considered necessary in contrijute ing to the safety of highway travel there would be far less trouble and fewer accidents. What apparently is meeded is a disposition to meet the demands and that not being forthcom- ing there shouid be the proper exercise Of authority to bring it about. 3There are, however, two extremes ff the matter of lights on vehicles using highways, for while there s danger. from the unlighted bicycle, _MEgon or automobile there is also as mhich trouble experienced from the too pwerful lights which many autos car- Bxcept f0r the driver of the cars 16 Which they are attached, = these ghts have shown by the acci- ts which they have caused that dazzling brilliancy is as much of & menace to hignway travel as the Ice of a Mght. Such lights may t the way, but they blind the dicoming drivers to such an extent tBat control is lost and there is no telling what may happen. 31t is quite evident that every vehicle ,carry a light. but it 15 equally jportant that it should be of a sen- sible character which will not over- /e all that it was intended to accom- lish and the drivers of autos should bb the first to recogmize the merits of the opposition to the blinding lights. Ohe extreme is as bad as the other. x CAN IT BE DONE? :More changes have occurred in Mex- Carranza bas departed from City and set up his headquar- ters at Vera Cruz so that he will have a3 easy means of geiting clear of the eduntry if occasion requires, while at the capital two of the military fag- tions «of the country have beén Dbrought together for the time being in the support of a single canflidate. ! in sentiment d it is posaible the recent un- standing said to have been arrivec at 3 and Bulgaria, oraby tho former romtne. 15 the latter part of the. territory oedz: to Rumania as he price of ing ont of the Balkan war, will suffice e resiaas o paign of invasion 43 likely to deter- mine very Balkan sfates.

There are some in the progressive party who are bearing up. well under adverse oircumstances and who are disposed to smile when everything =oes ‘dead wrong but it can hardly be looked upon as beihg morg” than a dying sgrugsle—a displaye éf bravado and fight just before the end. Those who assembled at Chicazo were inclined to take solace at the number of votes which were received for . progressive candlidates throughout the country at the November election. Though the total number showed a tremendous drop from that /of - two vears previous and was nearly all zained from one section of the coun- try, it afforded’ opportunity for th interpretation that hns been given it, and such is the basis upon which the narty is being continued. The rating however, is too high. Sight deems to have been lost of ‘he fact' that a large part of the 1912 nrogressive vote was a personal vote for the party leader. Whatever may have heen his ovinion relative to the deflections which occurred followine that election, he continued in the fi=ht to and through the contest last month There was a tremendous meltine away of the fellowing and the worst sort of a drubping was administered in his own state. It even placed a check upon all political utterances from that ource. and of those who upheld -the third partv in November many leaders and candidates have since mtlicly roo “ned to the repmhliear fo'd Such ‘ne the case with progressives of that daeree it 1s not too much to be- “eve that there have beefl far greater Asfleciiors amorg the rank and file.

Tn the =ame month as the result of the in- troduction of economy, forced and rtherwise, the roads vere able th reduce thefr expenditures $13.000.000 over October of last year. That shows, however, that the operating revenue was decreased by seven million more than the roads were able to cut their expenses, and adds further cause for the zranting of the relief asked by the of the east. This has all occurred ¥ince the ap- peal was made to the commission for a change in rates and as the Spring fleld Upion say: “The present exas- nerating delay in the rate matter ought to teach forcibly the lesson that it is of inestimable importance that the commission be In 2 position to move promptly and at the right time in Dridging serious emergencles.

With @ display of control which has been unusual, the Balkan states have refrained from a general ‘uprising in the present European war. They have been on thelr tiptoes and there has been- evidence of uneasiness at dif: ferent times, with a realization that only a Httle would be juired to se- cure the entrance of Rumania, Bul- garia and Greece, but at the present time_they are not involved. ‘Whether the capture -of Belgrade end , the.invasion of a large part of Bervia by the Austrians will change the situation remains to be seen.

Probably most of you have heard of the efficlency experts who go round to workshops and factories to learn how the methods used by the workers can be improved, so as to eliminate W time 2nd waste effort, and hence wast- ed_money. 1 Well, one woman at least has follow- ed out this idea in becoming a house- keeping efficiency expert- She goes round from house $o house and consults with the mistress as to what she can do to run her home to the best advantage on the money she is allowed and the time she has to give. She devotes special attention to the sort of food to-be served, pointing out the results to be obtained by various menus chosen according to thelr nutri- tive and palatable qualities. She 100] out for waste in every direction, gives lessons in the most efficient cleaning methods, shows how the use of fireless cookers helps the meal problem, and suggests labor saving devices in thé kitchen and laundry. In fact, she brings a trained mind to bear on the housekeeper's —manifold Dproblems, “You'd be surprised to see how in- telligent women_waste their strensth and tme doine thines the wrong. way, she said They don’t think things o1 en thof have no idea of the many | tle, inexpensive helps that will save a world of hard work for thef.

Julius Le Moyne and the subject wes the body of Baron de Palm. But the American prece- dent had been set eighty-three years before when under penalty of loosing a legacy of 60,000 pounds if he refused, the son of Henry Laurens, South Carolina’s Revolu- tionary patriot, consigned his {ath- er's hody to & funeral pyre. The ghastly experience of seeing his infant child come to life just before burial in the earth is said to have been responsible for Laurens’ ‘de- mand to be cremated. The origin of cremation is lost in the days of unrecorded history. It was practiced sporadically by the pre- ian civilizations, except in those coun- tries whose ‘religion, just as do some religions today, ~ forb its practice. The Pharsees were wor- shippers of fire, but prohibited eve- mation because of the opinion that he fire was 'thus polluted. The reeks and the Romans practiced cremation, while the Egyp con- sidered it an act of paj m and disposed of their dead by earth burial. The revival of the practice in Europe in the 17th century was greeted with horror by the medieval peasants. Kings prohibited it under penalty of torture. Sir Henry’ Thompson introduced cremation in= * to Great Britain shortly after the American Civil War. Using a re- verberating_furnace, he reduced : body weighing 144 pounds to pounds of lime dust within ffty minutes. Encouraged by Thoggp- son’s success, Dr. Le Moyne in- stalled an improved incinerator in 2 small one-story brick structure on a_hill overlgoking the town of Washington. Three years after his pioneer cremation, he died and was cremated in his own institution. ut. f It's onlv a matter of pro- ! and kerosense and the lmmw P fabric in it, squeezing, but not rubbing. | 50 potatoes or peas are boiled will 2dd o, DICTATES OF FASHION, \ Grays are coming in sgain.’ Seal brown s a fashionable color.

GROWING FERNS, ‘The prevalent idea that ferns must have no sun is false. Ferns will live in the shade and there are some sorts, of course, that are scorched by the sun. But most ferns that are cultivated in the house like much light and some nmulght. and never do their best with- out it Window boxes should be sprinkled lavishly twice a day. it is dry and dusty, the leaves should ‘well shaken before eprinkling. If possible, get the earth with which to fill, your boxes from an old hotbed —rich loam and rotted manure, about balf and half. Failing that, take any which is handy and enrich it with ammonia bone meal, mixed well through. A heaping tea- spoonful of ure is enough for a six inch pot of earth. Neither must be kept directly on the roots of the plants. Liquid fertilizer, likewise, must be kept off the roots, stems and leaves. Make 2 hole at one side of a trench just in- side the pot rim, pour in the fertilizer and let it sink, then put back the earth and water the pot well. CRUMB SWEEPER. Did ydu ever see a crumb sweeper built on the plan of a modified minia- ture carpet sweeper? This handy din- ing room tool has a nickel plated box, open at one end, holding o long, narrow circular brush. The Wooden handle, however, is attached at one end, as in ordinary crumb scrapers. It would make a nice and “different” present for a bride or for a housekeepen who ap- preciates dainty things about her table service. NEEDLEWORK NOTES.
