From the summary of the German reply to the American note it is evi- fent that there is a desire to pursue B policy of delay before making any monouncement relative’ to the future operations of the submarines, the im- portant question involved in the com- munication sent to Germany. Germany falls to disavow the at- tack opon the Lusitania and thereby Tails to avail itself of the excuse which this country offered to it. Even though the throwing of bombs at the Cushing and the torpedoing of the Gullight are referred to as “uninten- tional attacks” for which regret is expressed and recompense offered in tases where it is in the wrong, the pnly inference that can be drawn is ihat the attack upon the Lusitania was deliberate and in accordance with the intentions of the German govern- ment. The kaiser's government appears to be basing its position on the fact that the Lusitania was a vessel which tould be used as an auxiliary cruiser, that it was armed for such service at the time and that it was carrying ammunition and troops. That it was a vessel which could be called at any time by the British admiralty cannot be questioned but it is a fact that it was nct so engaged, that it was sim- ply engaged in legitimate commercial trade. Fortunately this country took the precaution to see that it was not armed while the carrying of ammu- nition, or any other contraband, and men who might be destined for the armies of the allies did not make it a target for a German torpedo until the proper opportunity had been given to the passengers and crew to leave the ship in safety. Germany’'s position is based entire- Iy upon a wrong assumption and there Is nothing to indicate that it intends to alter in the near future its subma- rine policy. Even though it acknowl- edges it made a mistake in attacking American ships it does not promise it will not happen again. The additional warning which is given in another communication that neutral ships should be prominently designated is ridiculous inasmuch as this very con- dition was ignored in both the Cush- ing and Gulflight cases, and as the evidence tends to indicate in the more recent case of the Nebraskan, What is needed is closer investigation be- fore torpedoes are fired instead of firing at everything suspicious and then term the instances where neu- trals were deliberately fired on as “unintentional attacks.” HEALTH AND ECONOMIC VALUE. Much has been said in behalf of the utilization of a great amount of waste land through gardening, both for the economic value and as a means of providing something for idle hands to do. It has even been ex- tended to school children for the cul- tivation of better ideals with good Fuccess. Down on Long Isiand a number of tests have been made with commend- eble results and at the present time it is about to be tried for the purpose of giving work to those who have none. The plan is to cut up a tillable section into plots ranging from an eighth to a quarter of an acre, pro- vide supervisors who will give needed Instructions and through the vaiuable cooperation from seeds and advice provided by the Long Island Agri- cultural college furnish the means %z & man to raise a sufficient amount of produce to supply his family and leave some to sell, if everything goes well. While the idea cannot be expected to solve the big unemployment prob- lems it will assist in overcoming some of the smaller ones and will give in- spiration_to & great many more who have the time and the backyard space avallable to go and do likewise. The number who are already engaged therein if known would be surprising but aside from the economic galn there is the opportunity for outdoor work which makes its appeal to those who are through the day engaged in indoor duties. It affords a change which has a recognized value and none is better aware of this fact than those who have been making a prac- tice of it for years, MEMORIAL DAY. Though every succeeding Memorial day findg diminished ranks of those who participated in the great com- flict for the upholding of the union, there is no diminution in the appre- ciation of the valiant service that was rendered or a disposition to forget the sacrifices that were made by the Boys in Blue for their country. Especial attention is directed thereto this year by the colossal upheaval which is in progress across the water, by the fact that this is the fiftieth anniversary of the close of the costly internal combat which meant so much in bringing about the present condition of this great nation and by the situation which the country faces at the pres- ent time. It was patriotism, the love of the flag and” what it stood for that rallled the people of those days to the vigor- ous support of the government, Thous- ands upon thousands gave their lives or have gone through life crippled in body and health because of their un- bendable allegiance. That there has been no deviation from those princi- ples in the last half century is posi- tive, and the manmer in which the country stands back of the president today as he insists upon the rights of the nation is sufficient evidence of the impressive lesson which the vet- erans of that and the subsequent war gave. It is only just therefore that there should be a general participation in the exercises which are conducted to- day in obBervance of the deeds of those soldiers, living and dead. We can afford to give up the few hours of the day which are reqttired for re- freshing our memories of their deeds and the placing of flowers upon the graves of the departed. It is but a small part of the duty which each succeeding generation owes to the sol- diers and sailors of the Civil war. OPPOSED BY SUPPORTERS. 1f President Wilson is of the opinion that people are desirous that such a piece of legislature should be put through as is aimed at by the ship purchase bill, which he recently de- clared should be enacted if capital cannot be interested otherwise in the provision of a greater merchant ma- rine, he can get some valuable first hand information to the contrary by feeling the pulse of the various sec- tions of the country. Perhaps he might expect no greater support from any locality than from the south, and he has certainly had no more ardent supporter than the Charleston News and Courler but even that paper is of the bellet that such a solution of the American shipping problem is unwise. Such a step it believes will be viewed with regret by many of his staunchest supporters and says “aside from the repugnance which thousands of good democrats entertain for government ownership on principle, it is an absolute and in- controvertible fact that as long as the United States maintains its pres- ent navigation laws the government could not own and operate merchant ships except at a heavy loss. These ships would come into competition with vessels under other flags the first cost of which had been much lower than that of the American vessels and which would be operating probably at less than half the expense to which the American vessel would be subject- ed.” If this country is going to lend en- couragement to capital to aid in the upbuilding of its merchant marine it must first of all make necessary changes in its laws concerning ship- ping. The greatest help which can be given in such a cause les in a re- vision of recent legislation, EDITORIAL NOTES, Turkish ammunition is reported to be running low but that is also what its submarines are doing. It took some time to bring it about but watchful waiting appears to have been cast into the discard. % May must realize that it can never increase its popularity or reputation by flirting with Jack Frost. Switzerland is putting up flags to indicate the boundary line. The next thing will be to get an umpire. Neither Huerta nor Dr. Dernberg have been in this country long enough to lay claim to the title of old set- tlers. In entering the war joyfully Italy decides to get a laugh out of it while it is possible. The tears will come later. The man on the corner says: A few abnormal girls may like to wash dishes but most girls have other idiosyncracies. It is proper hereafter that Great Britain rename some of her old war- ships and call them Sinkable, Vulner- able or Non Resistable, It is strange that those who fall in- to the ways of temptation are inspired by the acts of others instead of learn- ing the lessons which follow law vio- lations, Though Secretary Daniels considers the submarine in the experimental stage it is a question how generally the British admiralty would agree with him. Villa has sent a protest to this coun- try against the hanging of several Mexicans convicted of a capital of- fense in New Mexico, but the shoot- ing of Americans In Mexico gets little attention. Though with the advent of Jume travelers going out of the state must declare the value of their baggage it is probable that just as many will wait till the train pulls in before at- tending to the new formalities, SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. It is best not to allow the marrow to remain on the backbone of your mut- ton or lamb or the thin membrane on your steaks, as these are the parts ‘which decay quickly and taint the rest of the meat. The service of the incandescent man- tle may be lengthened if a string is put through the 100p at the top of the mantle and it is immersed in a glass of vinegar. When the mantle is taken from the vinegar leave it & short time to dry. Burn off in the usual way. To extract thorns or splinters from the fingers, nearly fill a small-necked bottle with very hot water and then press the affected part tightly over the neck, so as to prevent the steam from escaping. This will soften the flesh and draw the splinters to the surface. Brown sugar that has become lumpy from being kept any length of time may be softened in the following man- ner: Fill the teakettle with boiling water, and put the sugar in a pan, placing it over the teakettle to steam. Cut bananas in halves, lensthwise, and put them Into a baking dish; cover thickly with sugar, flavor with cinna- mon and a clove; add a very little wa- ter, squeeze over all the juice of an orange, and bake to a light brown. A cure for stye is made by rubbing a bit of alum into the raw white of an egg. A small quantity will be suffi- clent. A curd will be formed and this, when thick, is rubbed on the sore at night. ‘When nourishment and health ~are concerned, laughter and good will are vigorous promoters of the digestive functions. The court jester was a valuable piece of dining room furni- ture in olden times, and a good-natured and cheerful guest who Keeps up a lively and entertaining conversation at table does more to aid digestion than all the nostrums ever invented. The grip, which is too often fatal, may best be avoided by carefully guarding the health. It is an air germ, inhaled through the nostrils or tuken into_the mouth. Bad, cold, damp weather is responsible for the germ, 50 it is declared. Rest, rigid diet for several days and an internal house cleaning will outwit the germ when taken in the beginning, before it has gotten too great headway. WINDOW DRAPERIES. To soften and tone down a room the touch of drapery is essential, especi- ally window drapery, which if skill- fully arranged, can add to the width and height of any window. Fashionably speaking, window draperies tend to tun clear to the floor. The delicate translucent mesh of madras, figured and in stained glass effect, some of the open weave cotton draperies and the open work machine embroideries are more and more being used in house- hold decoration. Figured stuffs, such as cretonmes and prints from Holland and Japan, range from the demurest effects to all the warmth and color needed to brighten the dark walls of the bungalow. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Buttermilk is very good for remov- ing freckles or sunburn. New stockings should be washed be- fore they are worn, as the dve used to color them contains a polsonous ele- ment. There is nothing better for chapped lips than mutton tallow. Melt enough to make two tablespoons, add a tea- spoon of sweet almond oil and a_pinch of powdered camphor. Apply often. Exercise is a splendid skin tonic. A brisk walk, no matter if in the rain, wiil freshen the complexion, even as it freshens the flowers, and a simple aperient will do wonder for a muddy skin. It remains for all women to pre- serve sugh beauty as they have and to cure the defects which are peculiar to them or that time has wrought. Every skin is different and must be treated accordingly, and it takes a reasoning Woman to experiment carefully and find out the proper method of treat- ment for her skin. The hydropathic treatment of a cold in the head is more reliable than any other and one which scarcely requires the aid of a physician. It is as fol- lows: In the morning after rising and at night before retiring wash the feet @nd legs as high up as the knees in cold water, then tub them with a rough towel and massage them till the skin is red and glowing. In addi- tion to this, snuff tepid water up the nose frequently during the day and sip with a teaspoon a glassful as hot as can be borne an hour before each meal and at bedtime. A few days is often quite sufficient for simple cases and obstinate ones yield if the treat- ment is prolonged. No medicines are required. If taken in the first stages of the disease a cold is broken up which might otherwise become a severe case of bronchitis lasting many days or weeks. USES FOR SODA. When tins are hard to wash, or when food has been burned on them, put the dish on the stove, fill with cold water, add a teaspoonful of soda. Bring the water to a boil and the dish will wash easil: Cold rain water and soda will re- move machine grease from washable fabrics. For headache or sour stomach take half-teaspoonful of soda in a ilittle water. = For dyspepsia, a quarter of a tea- spoonful of “soda in a tumbler of water, drunk three or four times a day, gives relief. Cover burns with a paste of soda and cover with a damp cloth, To keep gruel or milk sweet put in them a pinch of soda. Weak soda water is excellent in cases of prickly heat or fever. To restore the finish to furniture woodwork, wash it thoroughly with a solution of warm water and a little soda.. Rinse well and wipe dry. Lard that has become rancld may be sweetened by reboiling and i a little soda. i ey COVER THE BREAD. Newly baked bread should be lightly covered with a clean cloth while it is cooling. If it is not aired when it is taken from the oven it is apt to be soZEY. DICTATES OF FASHION. Voiles are made in quantiti the summer fashions. o Dolman wraps embellished by frills are said to be returning. Design all your frocks with simplic- ity es the kevnote and you will be in WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN fashion. Simplicity Is always style. in 0ld_time glace silks are much em- ployed for the new full skirts. Little children’s socks are striped both up and down and horizontally. The separate skirt has developed ‘many gores—from five to twenty-four. Petticoats that resemble Turkish trousers are called Turkish petticoats. A coatee of jet worn over a white faille foundation is extremely chic.. Long handled parasols are altogether chic. A clever dark blue serge model shows a coat lining and blouse of a green and blue check. Children will wear plain Panama hats, trimmed with a black velvet ribbon simply tied around the crown. A bit of black moire ribbon finds its way into the neck finish of almost every chic French blouse, and often this is the touch that imparts indi- viduality and smartness to the model. Striped and poka dotted handker- chief linens are much liked for tail- ored and sports costume wear, but the all white and flesh color models are still the favorites for general blouse use. New petticoats of crepe de chine or of muslin are made with featherbone extensions. In reality these are fore- runners of a return to models of the old fashivned skirt extenders which were worn after the hoopskirt styles had had their day. DANDELION WINE. Get four quarts of the vellow petals of the dandelion and pour over them into a tub one gallon of warm water that has previously been boiled. Stir it well around and cover with a blanket, to stand three days, during which time it should be stirred fre- quently. Strain off the flowers from the liquid and boll it for half an hour with the rind of a lemon, the rind of an orange, a little ginger and three and e half pounds of lump sugar to each gallon; add the sugar and lemons from which the rind was removed, in slices, to the boiling liquor, and when cool ferment with yeast on a toast. When it has stood a day or two put it into a cask and in two months bottle. FLARING CUFFS POPULAR. A noticeable feature of the newest sleeves, is their large cuffs. On blouses of transparent materials the cuffs are very gauzy, while on afternoon gowns of faille or serge, the flaring cuffs are lined with a bright contrasting color. The same color is then introduced In vest, collar and girdle. The flaring cuff truly adds grace and attractive- ness to the hand over which it flares. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. When the heels and stockings are worn so badly that it seems useless to darn them, writes a contributor, take very soft darning cotton and crochét around the hole with just a simple crochet stitch until a new heel is formed. Petticoats of knitted silk are far more durable than those made even of the softest and best satin. For event- ually the satin wears out and it seems as if the knitted siik fabric never wears out. It is usually used for the upper part of the petticoat and in more ex- pensive ones is used also for the plait- ed ruffle.. These are more than worth the extra price charged for them. CLEANING BASKET WORK. If it is white basket work, mix scme whiting in a pail of warm water to which some soap powder has been ad- ded. Brush the basket work with the above with a fairly stiff brush taking care to go in the crevices. Then throw clean cold water over it until the whiting is all off. If it is brown cane, add ammonia instead of whiting. A good plan to clean white or light- colored basket work is to put two or three handfuls of salt to half a pailful of cold or hot water, then scrub well all over, the basket work, sprinkling a little fine salt on the brush to clean the very dirty parts. After thoroughly cleaning, rinse well with clean cold water, when it will be found to look almost equal to new. Do this on a good drying day and not too much in the sun. An easy way of cleaning basket work is to get some soft soap and place it in a saucer. Have ready a bowl of water (not too hot). Then take a nail brush, dip the brush into the water and then into the soap, and apply to the basket work. When clean rinse well and polish off with a dry rubber. This will be found a good way of cleaning all kinds of basket work. WONDERS OF OILCLOTH. White oilcloth can work a trans- formation in the darkest, dingiest kitchen and add to the charm of the brightest. A yard will save you from facing the indifferent or worn paint at the base of the dish closet shelving, and besides, make cleaning easy and gratifying. = The inside window ledge of the kitchen and the bathroom treat- ed in this way will be conducive to beauty and cleanliness. A sirip along the wall beside the sink will catch spattered drops of dish water or drainings and may be readily cleaned with a lightly soaped cloth rubbed over the surface.. A stretch of oilcloth above the jap- ahning about the range will catch any spattering grease, the vapor of steam or the hlackest of escaping smoke, which can then be washed off, though here ome of the coarse cleansers may be necessary to restore the pristine whiteness. A yard of white oilcloth will cover the top of a Kitchen table, with some to spare. A length of a few inches more of the scalloped kind will render the tops of the washtubs sightly and convertible to table uses for a hasty meal for one or two. The top of the refrigerator covered in’ this way will be taken as a pledge of the sweet, clean interior below. ' CONCERNING WOMEN. Mrs. Barbara Galpin of Somerville, Mass., has been appointed = member of the city planning board, which the mayor has recently organized. She is the first woman in that state to be s0 honored and possibly the only woman ’? the country occupying such a posi- tion, Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford of Colo- rado thinks that women should pay their taxes or income taxes, but at the same time should register a protest. She thinks it very unwise for Dr. Shaw to advocate revolt in the matter. Mrs. Bradford has held an office ever since women have voted in Colorado. Max Eastman, the editor of a New York paper, was arrested for libel re- cently and when he came into court for trial his wife was found to be his lawyer. She practices under her maid- en name of Ida Rauh, and besides be- ing a Jawyer she is a sculptress and several other things. Mrs. Charles Henry Israels, chair- men of the committee on amusement resources of working girls, objects to having her name retained as a mem- ber of the Medical Review of Reviews ‘when she resigned several months ago. She servered her commection with the committee because the Review pub- fiahed @ white slave picturs show . TO COUNTERACT SALT. When anything is accidentally made too salty, it can be counteracted by adding e tablespoonful of sugar. TO CLEAN SHADES. Wring cloth out warm water (not hot). Have dish of baking soda. Dip cloth in sods, wipe off shade, then take a dry cloth to dry ehade. You will find the shades Jook like new. At first they will look dark, but will dry out as white as when new. RECIPES. Suet Pudding (No Eggs)—This is a very rich pudding and _surprisingly economical: Chopped beef suet, one cup; molasses, one cup; Spices, cin- namon, salt, nutmeg, one-quarter tea- spoon;’ soda, one teaspoon; flour, two 2nd a half cups; chopped raisius, one cup; milk, one cup. Combine suet, raisins, molasses and spices. Stir in the milk and fiour and soda, which have been sifted together. Mix well and put the mixture into cans. Close covers firmly. Boil in water three hours. This makes three good sized puddings, each of which is ample for four people. Each pudding can be re- heated just before using. Lemon sauce—Materials: Butter, one tablespoon; sugar, one-half cup; corn- starch, one tablespoon; boiling water, one cup; lemon, one-half. Grapefruit in Glasses—If one pos- sesses the glasses made especially for grapefruit, the pulp of the fruit is re- moved in spoonfuls and put into the small inside cups, the <cracked ice filling the space between them and the other edge of the glass. A little sugar is added to the fruit if desired, and the whole is “topped off” by two mara- schino cherries. If one haen't the glasses, the fruit should be chilled and put in spoonfuls into the empty shells. Serve the grapefruit shells on small plates, with either orange or grape- fruit spoons.. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Language and Treatment by Bosses. Mr. Editor—Just_arrived in_Nor- wich, “The Rose of New England” and wish to ask you to lend your aid in making it pleasant for the men who do the tough menial work in your beautiful city. Being a passenger on the New London Line of boats that ply between New York city and New London I known whereof I speak. 1 know the men who unload those boats are treated inhuman and the language used by the bosses in unlaw- ful and such should be compelled to desist. It is also an insult to every passenger on, the boat. Your for Justice H. L. HUNTINGTON Yonkers, N. Y. Norwich, May 26th. Staries of the War - «Getting Light. A reservist writes from the trenches telling how light is drawn from the Germans when e soldier wants to see what time it is at night and has no match. “What time is it? asked a young re- cruit of the class of 1914 at his listen- ing post in the advanced trenches. No one had a match and it was too dark to make out the time. “If you want a light’ said a terri- torial who had passed the winter in the trenches, ‘you have only to open a sharp fire on the trenches yonder.’ “The suggestion was acted on and after a few shots in quick succession a star seemed to open out in the sky overhead. Fearing e surprise attack the Germans had sent up a fuse to light the position. ow you can See your watch’, said the territorial, ‘but don’t try the ruse too often.” Physically Unfit. Over 2,000 men have been discharged from the British army as physically unfit on a maximum pension of 17s. 6d. —about $4.35—a week. This state- ment appears in an appeal for better pay for disabled soldiers made by Sir Frederick Milner, for twenty years a member of Parliament. Sir Frederick says he has visited thousands of men since the beginning of the war and kept in touch with them afterwards. The sum now paid is not in his opinion sufficient to sus- tain life. “They have uncomplainingly gone through hardships and sufferings al- most unparaileled in the history of warfare,” he declares, “they have sac- PIMPLES RED AND DISFIGURING Came on Face.
