It was, however, too important a disruption of the disciplinary power of the war department to permit it to become a not be allowed to go unchecked and be of the bits of haif- It der cons probable t attempt to weaken the war department much the recent political ap- vent the removal of regi- icers of the New York state 1 guard who could not pass the health requirements when called into the service of the government. It is unfortunate that such a small part of an important measure makes it neces- ary to veto the whole bill, but it was advisable action and the passage of the bill with that change made ought not to meet with any serious difficul- PESTS AND BLIGHTS. When it comu to pests if it isn't one thing it is another. It wasn't but a few vears ago that the elm trees were being devastated and the loss of ome of the most valuable shade trees as suffered. There have ce been periods when the gypsy moths and the tent caterpillars have raised havoc h the fruit trees and other vege- tation. In addition the army worm h come and gone with disastrous results, while the chestnut trees have been suffering from a blight which has been so thorough that a live chestnut is getting to be a rarity where once they of trees. Now attention is being called to the white pine blister rust which threat- ens dire results to these valuable trees unless a determined effort is made to cle it and fortunately it does not present such a difficult prob- re the commonest lem as the chestnut tree blight. In Ma chusetts, where the rust has been found to have developed worse than in any other state, federal and state efiorts are being made to eradi- ecate itand when it is realized that this disease has made it impracticable to grow white pine in certain sections of Europe it can be appreciated that no time can be lost in striking a tell- ing blow against it if such conditions are going to be prevented in New England, Pests and blights are the cause of great trouble and expense but they at the same time cause us to realize the value of taking care of that which we would have like nothing else. UP TO DEMOCRATS. The passage of the ship purchase bill comes after a long and hard fight which leaves little of the original measure intact. The legislation has been fought because it was inadvis- able and because it is believed against the interests of the country to en- gage in any such business. The rec- ognition of the bad features of the original measure has resulted in nu- merous modifications and the drawing of the teeth and with these changes it has gone through the senate on a strictly party vote. The administra- tion has succeeded in getting solid support from the democratic senators lor such provisions as the measure sontains. #acther this is simply to give pres- tige to the adminis plishments in the way of legislation, under the belief that the shipping bill can do no harm even though it is not possible at this date to do any good in the direction desired, remains to be seen. The changes made prevents the purchase of vessels from belligerent nations, and thus the objection that international complications ‘would arise is overcome. They also provide that the government shall not operate the ships itself unless it finds it im- possible to leave them to others and an important requirement placed in the bill is that every ship purchased under the provisions of the measure must show 75 per cent. of its original efficiency. ‘With these restrictions thrown about the bill, as well as others which have to do with the vessels which are in- cluded in the control of the shipping board, the legislation has undergone important alterations and it remains for the democrats to demonstrate that it can accomplish what they claimed it will, NO ENCOURAGEMENT YET. With the users of dyestuffs eagerly srasping at the opportunity to se- cure part of the cargo which was broughtt to this country by tha Deutschland and being sold at ad- vanced prices, there is being disclosed the fact that Germany is ready to resume such trade with this country whenever it is possible. It means that following the war the dyemakers of Europe will be flooding this coun- try with their product. They will be able to demand their price for it and they will be able to drive to the wall such industries as have been estab- lished in this country for the manu- facture of dyestuffs because this country has not encouraged capital to invest in this business and give it the protection which would prevent just such a situation. The need of making this country in- dependent of foreisn producers along this line has been clearly demon- strated. For two years the necessity of it has been fully illustrated. In- stead of taking care of our own in- terests we are still playing into the hands of the manufacturers in Ger- many while this country is urging in- dustrial development at home and abroad. Little progress will be made, or can be expected, in this direction s long as there is a disposition to do 10thing and the problem is left for ¢ to solve as it pleases after declared. This country has long enough and it is time to and correct the existing con- l dallied get busy ditions. LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS. When Senator Borah attempted to jhave the immigration bill included as a rider in the ship purchase bill, it is indicated that he meant it as an em- sment for that latter measure ba per than an expression of his de- {sire for the passage of the former. He apparently felt that if one piece of such slation was going to be passed that another’should be in- cluded. It failed, however, as he doubtless expected and the immisra- tion bill must stand on its own feet as it should. It is hardly believed that the sena- tor from the west is such an advocate of rider legislation as might be in- dicated by his action. The immigra- tion bill ought not to be tangled up with anything else. It should be con- sidered and voted upon separately and it will be to the advantage of the country if it gets no further consid- ered from the present congress. An attempt to pass the immigra- tion bill which the famous literacy test has been made several times within the past few years. Each time it has met with the same sort of a rebuke. It ought not to be allowed to clog the other and more important matters which need the consideration of both houses of congress at this time. It contains good features but it suffers from the fact that the basis for admission of aliens to this coun- try is unAmerican. Even should con- ress pass the bill in the hustle of the closing days of this session there are good reasons to believe that it would simply result in a veto of the meas- ure by President Wilson even as oth- ers have done. Therefore it better not be used to occupy valuable time but permitted to rest in peace where it is. EDITORIAL NOTES. Every let up on the battlefields of Europe seems to be a lull before a greater storm. Even the high price of gasoline has not placed a restraining hand upon the reckless drivers of automobilgs. Our idea of a warm campaign would be to have Senator Sherman and Samuel Gompers running for the same office, The man on the corner says: No two men are exactly alike, I am told, and that doubtless causes mutual satisfaction. Portugal has decided to enter the war soon, but that ought not to be sufficient to force the kaiser to an early cry for peace. Twelve teachers have sailed from New York for Turkey but if that country holds to its past record it will refuse to be taught. The increased lensth of the evenings makes it plain that those who dislike the hot weather will not be forced to complain much longer. Girl nearly drowns in new style bathing suit, as a headline puts it, shows that some people will do most anything to be in style The state secretary having 28 cases of reckless driving to hear this week indicates that progress is being made in the wrong direction in dealing with such auto handlers. The German commander in the Somme region declares that the al- lies cannot break throusgh, all of which may be true but they appear to be going ahead nevertheless. It is to be hoped that the decline in infantile paralysis cases in the me- tropolis will continue. The innocent have suffered enough from the lax en- forcement of sanitary measures. From the way in which the young men have carried off the honors in the National Roque tourney, the idea which some hold that it is an old man’s game seems to be successfully dispelled. No good reason for the appointment of a veterinary surgeon as director of the coast and geodetic survey, except possibly that it was thought wise to have a good horse doctor around in case the donkey shows signs of col- lapse. _* They SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. A good hat should always be kept in its box when not being worn. Watch all men’s winter clothing for matches before putting it away. Brown bone or ivory rings can be dyed to use on brown fancy work. One of the hest imaginable wall papers is gray Japanese grass cloth. Mirror frames painted to match the chintz in a bedroom are beautiful. An old flour sifter can be used to hold the eszs while they are boiling, Children’s tools are often excellent for grown-ups to use in the zarden, Creamed codfish is improved by cheese grated over it before it is baked. It is wonderful what a looking-glass will do toward cheering up dark cor- ners. Milk bottles should be filled with cold water the moment they are emptied. The skirts of old cotton wrappers can be used to cover clothes in the closet. Grapefruit seeds will grow and make biefl\ltiful little trees for table decora- tion. A g00d way to preserve a bridal bou- q;_:ot is to make a string of beads out of it. To keep cheese, wrap it in a cloth dipped in vinegar and then cover with waxed paper. Use ammonia water always instead of soap if vou are cleaning white paint. Tt has the advantage of not dulling the surface. DRYING THE HAIR. Artificial heat, such as hot air from e, is not very good when used the hair. Tt is far better to it with warm palms of the hand or with warm towels in the winter, or in the warm sunshiny breeze of the summer. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. For tired feet nothing is better than to bathe them every night in soda and letting the feet remain the water until cooled. Dry them with vigorous rubbing, to quicken cir- culation. If very tender they may be rubbed with alcohol or equal parts of alcohol and witch hazel The only way to keep the ekin under the nails white is by constant applications of cream and by using an orange wood stick for cleaning. The cleaning should be done only after washing the hands. Here is a recipe for a nail cream: Petroleum, one ounce; ite castile soap, powdered, sixty grains; oil of bergamot, three drops. Buttermilk may be taken with the meals or between them. Most people can consume a greater quantity of buttermilk than sweet milk possibly because the former contains lactic acid, the normal natural acid of the sipmach. It doas not produce that uncomfortable bloated feeling which oppresses many hen sweet milk is taken. In dusting and house wear loose gloves, which w! getti nto the sweeping about the chamois or old kid 1 keep the dirt from pores of the skin. EMBROIDERY US&ED. Chiffon, ette crepe and all other diaphanous materials, whether they are used for gowns or are a part of costumes of silkk or cloth, are usu- ally trimmed with roideries. There is something pleasingly piquant about 2 bit of embroidery applied to a del- icate dlaphanous material. Often when used on these airy fabrics the embroid- ery is quite heavy, but is confined to a small space. A great quantity of it would naturally be apt to pull the material out of shape. Gold and black embroidery motifs were used on a putty colored chiffon afternoon gown seen recently, and on a pale gray crepe gown there were em- broiderfes of silver, gray and blue. write net evening gown was trim- med with embroideries placed on the skirt to catch up the draperies at the {side on the tiny sleeves. Gec DICTATES OF FASHION. Beige is a satisfactory color for a taffeta gown. Midnight blue and faded pink is a good combination. . Some of the prettiest silk petticoats imaginable are the corded ones. With a biscuit colored chiffon gown a touch of emerald is enchanting. Some of the suit coats fasten under the arm, just as some dresses do. » The Greek note is seen this season in the immense variety of pleatings. Some of the pretti ton only throat. t suit coats but- at the waistline and Silkk gloves are heing embroidered in pastel colors to follow the trend of the mode. There is such a wide divergence in sleeves that one can wear any length from the short sleeves above the elhow to those that hide the fingers. Georgette crepe abates in popularity not a jot, for now it can be had in de- signs as well as in plain colors. It is sheer, but it also has a durability that is remarkable. While alpaca hasbeen used for suits and traveling coats lately to some ex- tent, it has never been utilized in mil- linery, so it remained for some clever person shion an adorable little turban in white alpaca. This particu- lar chapeau had two bands of rose faille ribbon that tied in smart little bows in the back. AGAIN THE HEAD RESTS. Chair backs and head rests are sure- ly now reasserting their right to a place in hou old furnishings. The fireside and large upholstered easy chalrs seem to demand something as a protection, which, perhaps, accounts for the revival of chair backs and head rests. Some of the new chair backs are strips of Russlan crash, with a cross- stitch pattern across the bottom. The designs are pine trees, brilllant birds, or even baskets of flowers. Others are made entirely of coarse filet crochet in coarse cotton or raffia twine, either square or oblong in form. All sorts of quaint old patterns ars used for the chair backs. They are really old tidies, made smart and up to date. Head rests of patchwork applique are now heing made. These are par- ticularly nice in a bedroom, where a counterpane of patchwork is used. are also made of coarse filet THE CROWNING OF A SYSTEM crochet, and these are appropriate for the living room. SCRATCHES CURED. ‘When children and mahogany furni- ture dwell together under the same roof the former are liable to make “impressions” on the latter. ‘When Tommy comes with the sad apology “my engine ran right into the table leg,” or Betty tells how her doll car- riage “just went against the corner of the desk its own self,” do not be downcast. A piece of wet blotting paper placed over the dent and held there by the pressure of a warm (not hot) iron will draw the dented tissues of the wood up into place provided the scar is not too deep. Of course, the polish will be dulled, if the finish is high, but that may be remedied by a little furniture polish NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Rickrack braid is a serviceable and attractive way of finishing children’s underwear. A common drawing compass will prove a convenient addition to the workbasket for drawing circles of all kinds. A discarded piano stool is an inval- uable asset for the sewing room, as it makes an adaptable chair for the sew- ing machine or cutting table. To tighten the sewing machine belt, pour a few dreps of castor oil on it when loose, and after running a few minutes the belt will tighten up. The practieal uses to which crochet may be applied seem to be endless. Buttonholes in heavy linen or any ma- terial where a strong buttonhole is required can be worked by means of crochet. Cut the buttonhole the cor- rect size, and then crochet around it ith single crochet stitches, using a fine cotton and very fine hook. If the material is inclined to ravel, the edge may be whipped before crocheting, but if the goods is firm, this is not neces- sary. This sort of a buttonhole is strong. firm and quickly accomplished. This is an excellent way to make but- tonholes in children’s under-garments or pique dresses, To Cure Sunburn. Sunburn is cften extremely painful. In many cases, where a girl has been out in the sun practically all day, the skin blisters and causes very real suf- fering. It is a wise girl who knows how fo care for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctoring it at once. When you return to the house after a day in the open and find your arms, neck and face all rose colored from the sun, don’'t stop to question why, but start in treating it at once. The burn never hurts the first day and some- times it does not the second day, but you will certainly get it the third un- less you are careful. Don’t wait until the skin begins to itch and smart be- fore you put on a cream, but at the first sign of rose color where iwhite usually is start vour doctoring at once. Cocoa butter is excellent to take the sting out of sunburn and witch hazel cream is another fine emolient. Rub either one in well at the first appear- ance of the burn and then again next day and you will not be bothered S0 much by the pain and itch. TABLE DAMASK. Partly worn table damask can be made into runners and doilies for breakfast use. The border, which! hangs over the table, is in good condi- tion, when the center of the cloth is worn. These borders can be used for runners, while the best parts of the centers can be made into square or round doilies. The doilies should be neatly hemmed and on the right side just above the hem, a fancy stitch, matching the hade of the breakfast china, should be embroidered. A single initial in the ame color will make extremely good looking doilies. The sides of the runner should have a narrow hem, with a row of the fancy stitching on the righnt side. A deep hem at either end, with a large initial just above it, will give character to the runner. A breakfast set of this sort could be made in a short timey CONCERNING WOMEN. Forty women were recently gradv ated from the law school of the New York university In the war ridden countries women are now taking the place of men as carpenters. Several of our universities now offer a four years' course in agriculture for women. Women are now permitted to regis- ter as students in the dental school at Columbia university Miss Baden-Powell, sister of Gen. Baden-Powell of England, keeps an apiary in her boudoir. Dr. Annie S. Daniel has had charge of the New York infirmary for women for the last thirty-five vears. During that time over 316,000 cases have come under her personal care. The experiment of training women for work as gardeners in the Birming- harit (England) parks has proved so satisfactory that their wages have been increased. Mrs. Richard Wightman invested $15,000 in a New Mexico mine a year ago and today is worth more than $3,000,000. After investing her money she went to work in a pair of overalls, and after making her husband presi- dent of the company she formed she then made herself general manager of the concern. SALT AND LEMON. Ink stains can be removed from goods by covering the spot with salt; squeeze lemon juice over this, and let dry in the hottest sunshine. ACID FOR INK STAINS. Ink stains in a carpet, if of long duration, must be treated with oxalic acid. TWO PRETTY APRONS. Two pretty aprons were seen the other day, both made out of a length of heavy linen toweling, about elgh- teen or twenty inches wide. In one a hole was cut, through which to slip the bead, far enoush from one end to reach to the waistline in the back. This end was gathered into a belt Mt is brought around to the front, where it fastens with an embroidered button. The other end. which can be made to reach as far down as desired, is_em- broidered with colored sprays of flow- ers. The same design appears near the neck, too. The other apron was round- ed under the arms to form a bib and was fastened with straps that reached from the shoulders and crossed in the back. The raw edges of the apron were finished in an overstitch of blue, and the straps and bottom of apron were both ornamented with sprays of flowers embroidered in the blue. her own sunburn, for| H WOMAN 30 WEAR COULD NOT SLEEP Made Well by Lydia E.

One is a very chubby little boy in overalls, the other his little sister in pinafore and sunbcnnet. The doll bags are first embroidered, then stitched _together, back and front, with a small opening left for the becans to be poured in.
