Hughes for the presidency by the national republican convention was action in accordance with the de- mands of the people, the needs of the party and the interests of the country. the time that his name was first %nefl it was recognized that he was the man who could do more than anyy other to bring both factions of the party together. By the fact that he was on the supreme court bench he had avolded the taking of sides in the split of 1912 and he was therefore in a position to do more than any other in bringing about a reunion, whighr is of course necessary to in- -ulg, iccess next November. selection of Mr. Hughes was forecasted by the second ballot. There was no serious doubt as to where he stood upon the important questions of the day. He was, however, pre- vented by his judiclal position from making a declaration but the moment thgt tRe honor was conferred\ upon hig, apd he was free by resignation fromesthe supreme bench to speak, he left uestion whatever as to where hes s. % His_position on Americanism - Is » soundyand sane.

No one has spoKen loudly against, or criticised more harshly the dem cratic administration that the ex-pres- ident.

As of Americanism, the up- partly mobilized the allies have over- come the uncertainty which surrounds its activity. Knowing that it is not with them, the fact that it is npt ready for service means that it to a certain degree cannot be against them and its neutrality is therefore of the kind which makes the position of the al- lies in that quarter more favorable. AUTO INDUSTRY HAS PROFITED. ‘While thé automobile industry was undergoing steady aevelopment in this country previous to the opening of the war, and a good sized export trade had been established, the struggle in Europe has given it one of the biggest boosts that it has ever received. There were demands across the water by the belligerents for niotor cars which the factories of that country could not supply and the result has heen that $165,000,000 worth of machines, parts, tires and engines were exported dur- ing the first 19 months of the war. It is true that some of this business was with neutral countries, which looked to the United States when others ceased to fill export orders, but four- fifths of this increase was destined to the belligerent nations, either for the purposes of war, or to fill the other needs which local industry could not take care of because of demands in other directions. This war more than any other has witnessed the greatest utilization of the automobile for all kinds of uses. Not only has it been used for com- mercial purposes, the transportation of supplies and troops, in the ambu- lance service and for keeping the gen- erals in touch with their forces but the armored car has been extensively used, and the Russians in their pres- ent drive against the Austrians attri- bute no small part of their success to the accomplishments made possible by these cars. General Gallieni was aided materially in the - defense of Paris by the automobiles which he re- quisitioned, and the one railroad line which the French have to Verdun has been able to cope with the situation solely through the assistance which the motor cars have rendered. The automobile is invaluable in war and this. country can well understand the prosperity which has been stimulated by the orders which have been re- ceived and filled here since August 1914, EDITORIAL NOTES.

There might not be so much ob- jection to the past week’s offering by the weatherman if it was not affecting the longest days of the Vear. Some candidates now realize that they have just about as much chance of reaching the South Pole as they had to get the presidential nomination. it e N If the progresslve national commit- tee has any question about endorsing Hughes the action which dromises to be taken this week at St. Louis ought to settle the matter. It is a mighty poor time to test seeds, and especially those which are given away ‘each year by the gov- ernment. They usually do bad enough under favorable conditions. It is estimateqd in government re- j ports that the wheat crop is over 300,- 000,000 bushels smaller than last year. What's the matter with this deme- cratic administration anyway? It is far better to get this cold dis- agreeable northeast - weather out of the way now before the vacation sea- son strikes on, if the weather will please kindly remember it.

' In general effect the exterior of the house thus gives almost the appearance obtained by the use of white glass curtains without shades; an fdeal condition that is not prac- ticable by everyone, more's the pity But white shades will help to give the same effect. Inside the house, much the same thing may be said, with the addition of another joyful fact, namely, t white shaes inter- fere less with the color schemes of various rooms. A green shade or a tan shade, used all over the house, is, quite frequently, a jarring color note in some of the FTooms. As a rule, one can get used to a lighter room, for it cannot be denied that white shades do let in more light. But when a-darker room is a neceseity, and if inside draw curtains are not feasible, double-faced shades may be used, having the white side turned toward the room, the colored side toward the street. PIMPLE SPECIFIC. The following- formula has been found valuable for the common sort of pimples ‘which trouble young, srow- ing girls and for women of a nervous, excitement temperament, who suffer from a disturbed circulation: Bicar- bonate of soda, thirty-six grains; gly- cerin, 6ne dram; spermacetic ointment one ounce. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Lemon sirup is very good for hoarse- ress. To make it bake.a lemon for twenty minutes and then squeeze out the juice into half a cupful of sugar. Do not set a task for the child as soon as he comes from school. Allow Lhim to relax, to run in the fresh air .llind have his freedom for an hour at east. There -is no medicine that_can build up the blood. Nothing but good food, well digested;.good air deeply breath- ed and a strong circulation of the blod can help to build up new, strong, vigorous blood cells. When the throat feels raw, half hour gargling periods, using warm salt water, are advised. This is an anti- septic and removes the irritation. Again equal parts of listerine, water and peroxide is even more effective. Quick action should be taken when a rusty najl or other metdllic points cause a wound. These should be treated with frequent aplications of peroxide of hydrogen. : Failing this, wash the wound with boracic acid. Be sure to extract all the blood that is possible and any foreign substance. Keep the wound open to permit swab- bing out. For this purpose use medi- cated cotton, that is obtained in pack- ages from 5 cents to-a dollar in vari- ous sizes. Fresh air Is as necessary to the Gicalth of the hair as it is to the health of the lungs. The woman who is not guided by this truth has hair which, a rule is “matted down” and of an unattractive shade. The outdoor girl, whose coiffure is blown about by the wind, usually has a head of hair that is full of life and vigor and its color- ing is fine. Fresh air and plenty of brushing with the shampoo and gen- tle massaging of the scalp, will often make “sickly” hair healthy. TO REMOVE STOPPERS.

Brass or copper may be easily cleaned by rubbing with a wet, soapy rag dipped in- powdered bath brick. Polish. with a soft cloth or newspaper. en = to wipe Burning the fingers can be avoided by equipping the metal knobs on pot and kettle covers with good sized corks wired on with bits of picture wire. Cut rounds of wax paper and put under the centerpieces on the polished table. This will prevent the linen ad- hering to the polished surface, as often happens from hot dishes. To get dust out of crevices in win- dow sashes, baseboards,” etc., when cleaning house try using a paint brush of good size. A hidden store of dirt will reward your efforts, for a cloth cannot reach all the corners. SMART COLLARS. The neck line is like the waist Nne, no longer a stationary thing. From Paris fomes a high collar of black taffeta tied in the back with a flaring bow and falling over it a circular col- lar of white organdy—the whole a smart little conceit-which is especially becoming to the tall, slender woman. High collars are not easy to wear, but they are smart.

Curried Chicken—For curried chick- en prepare one large drying chicken by jointing it in the usual way. Put two ocunces of butter into the frying pan and add three sliced onions, one chopped apple and the chicken. 'Fry ali a delicate brown, then add one pint of white stock in which a dessert- spoonful of curry powdered and a tea- spoonful of flour have been blended. Let all simmer for half an hour, re- move from the fire and add a table- spoonful of lemon juice and four table- spoonfuls of cream. Serve on a hot platter with boiled ricz heaped in the center, the chicken arranged around it and tke gravy poured over ali. Spiced Pineapple—Use the Filorida pineapple. The small sized ones are more convenient for siicing; ~the large slices must be cut in halves or in quarters. Cut the slices- thin and ‘cover with a sirup made of two pounds of sugar to a pint of vinegar, with spice tied in cheesecloth bags. Let stand over night. Next morning drain off all the sirup and boil it up well and again pour over the fruit. Repeat this for two following mornings and then seal up the fruit LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wants Light on City Financing., Mr. Editor: In ‘the estimated ex- May 17, 1917, as prepared by the democratic finance committee, there appears the following items, wiz: Fi- nancial department special promissory note 5 per cent., dated Dec. 24. 1812, $10,000; promissory note § per cent., dated April 30, 1914, $10,000. Would it not have been good business to have presented this indebtedness to the taxpayers in the budgets of 1913-14 and 15 as temporary loans, and let them dispose of them as they saw fit? On these notes we will have paid before any adjustment can be made, approximately $3,000 in interest. Now in their estimated receipts they say: From general fund to pay notes of Dec. 24, 1912 and April 30, 1914.
