The unanimous action which char- acterized the passage of the $7,000,000,- 900 war eredit in the lower house of congress is only what can be expected and undoubtedly will result when the 5ill comes before the senate today. It tannot help being recognized that in- ismuch as this country has entered the war, it must not only take steps which will put it in a state of proper preparation just as soon as possible but that it must employ such means as it already has for the prosecution of the war and the upholding of our vights, and that lies in using our weajth not only for our own purposes but for giving assistance to our allles. Financlal aid is a most important consideration. There is not one of the - eountries engazed in the war but what ean make good use of it and it is through such a loan that this country ean give immediate assistance. This war credit has received the ac- tive support of those who were un- favorable to the declaration for a state of war. It indicates that while they ‘were unwilling to favor this country's move to get into the struggle, they are mow cognizant of the fact that Inas- wuch as the step has been taken it must be supported. It i% another in- stance where it is realized that na- tional loyalty is called for and every effort myst be put forward to insure a \ successful termination of the war i‘ Failure to stand behind the govern- - &% [ ent at this critical stage would be dering the best kind of service to the enemy, and that the members of congress so interpret it must be de- ducted from the support which the loan legislation has received. AVOIDING MORE TROUBLE. Carranza has made no mistake In wrriving at the decision that no em- s+ \bargo will- be placed upon the supply f oil that is being sent from the Tam- pico section of Mexico to Great Brit- min. At various times during the war there have been fears that this source of supply which provides for both the British and French navies would be cut off and nothing would please Ger- many more than to have Mexico tackle such a proposition, but Oarran- za has enough trouble on his hands without seriously entertaining such an idea. ‘The Tampico oil fields are owned or gontrolled by PBritish interests. ‘The United States has aligned itself in . the war on the side of the allies and while under ordinary circumstances it would strenuously oppose any Iinva- slon of Mexico by a foreign army, it would without question take immedi- ate steps, should an embargo be de- slared and enforced, to send its army Into the republic to the south for the purpose of remeving any obstacle which might be placed in the way of this oil supply. Carranza thus recognizes that the bast way of avoiding more trouble is to follow the course which he has been pursuing in the past. He is not in © any shape to attempt tb enforce such % an embargo, however much he might desire to, and his greatest salvation lles in following the path of least re- ‘sistance, and in the decision which he has made he must be given credit for the judgment which he has used or * the conelusion to which circumstances “have forced him. 'What is needed in | Mexico just now is constructive not | destructive work, and certainly such " could not be gained by inviting more - trouble. ~ & MOVING BACKWARD. | What cannot help being looked up- ‘on as = backward step is that which 3 by the lesislation which g awaits the action of the gov- - of New York to decide the mat- Both houses of the legislature passed ot the night 'y York city.

The resources which this eountsy has in the way of material and means of comstructing wooden vessels are practically unlimited. All that is need- ed is to perfect the organization and that will doubtless be quickly accom- plished under the direction of General Goethals. It will be a few months before there can be any such launching of vessels as the situatin really calls for but once the shipyards begin to hum there will be a quick development with a larger tonnage being completed in each succeeding month. It is even be- lleved that it will be possible by 1917 at least to turn out vessels enough in a month to equal if mot excell the tonnage which the submarines are de- stroying in that same period of thirty days, and when that time arrives it will be one of the most effective an- swers to the submarine warfare that has been given aside from what is al- ready being done and what will be kept “up by the allied navies. As soon as it is shown that Germany's sub- marine activity cannot accomplish its purpose Germany’s last card will have. Dbeen disposed of and the end will be at hand. CRUSHING TURKEY. Thus far with talk of peace coming from two of the nations grouped among the central powers, with the impression that the leading one of the four is leaning in that direction and possibly respensible for such sound- ings as are being made by the others, it is a noticeable fact that ~Turkey has as yet made no such move. With the progress which the Russians and British are making against it, the ter- ritory, men and equipment which are being lost, it is a question how long It ean continue to hoid out under the prevailing situation. There are Indications, from the terms which have been set forth as those which would be agreeable to Gergany, thet that country is facing serious dismemberment. This iIs dis- closed in the suggestion that Armenia would be willingly turned over to Rus- sia and that Constantinople and the Dardaneciles would e international- ized if Russia was willing to agree to « separate peace. That, however, is a suggestion which did not emanate from Turkey, but that country must nevertheless comd to the realization pretty soon, If it has not already, that whether it is favorable to such a par- titioning or not, it cannot be staved-off much long as the rate of progress that is being made in Mesopotamia, Pales- tine, Armenia and along the Black sea. Turkey met with signal success in the opeming of the war both at the Dardanelles and along the Tigris but the tide of battle has changed. The carly mistakes of the allies have been overcome and Turkey instead of being able to furnish aid to the other coun- tries is unable to hold back the foe on its own territory. Every tussie with the enemy is bringing it nearer to the imevitable. EDITORIAL NOTES. From the way in which Argentine ships are being sunk, it looks as if Germany was anxious to have that re- public as an enemy. —— — It is about time for someene to of- fer the advice that those who are mar- rying to avoid war may have their plans all knocked askew. The man on the corner says: Sym- pathize with the fellow whose land- lord has the immovable idea that wall paper improves with age. With Colonel Bryan tendering his services to the government, it begins to leok as if his peace-at-any-price ideas had been knocked into a eockcd hat. 3 The report that Buigaria is seeking a separate peace comes as a natural sequence to the stories of riots a#nd the deserting of Bulgarign troops at Sofla. While interest is being created in a more general gultivation of the soil, sight should not be lost of the fact that there are plenty of opportunities for eliminating waste. o With the announcement from Alas- ka that it has a heavy crop of pota- toes and other vegetables, it becomes evident that that possession is a gold mine in more ways than on All families in Parkersburg, West Virginia, have been msked to observe two meatiess day: a week.

BAKE POTATOES IN THE FIRE- LESS COOKER. Many people who have fireless cookers have perhaps often thought of baking potatoes in them. This can easlly be done and they are just as satisfactory as when baked in the oven. Put the largest heater over the gas flame and arrange the potatoes close together on this: let them stay half an hour, turning occasionaily then put in the cooker and cover up, and tn enother half hour they will bs lone. AN IMPORTANT HINT. In stamping a design on any mate- rial be sure that you piace the design stralght with the grain of the material. If no ' heed is paid to the grain In stamping round centerpieces your de- sign will appear crooked even if it is true. Ome should also bear in mind the grain of the goods when launder- ing round centerpieces. They should be placed on the board so that the grain runs paraliel with the edge of the board. then the iron will follow the course of the threads and the result ‘will’be a eniooth, even centerpiece. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Many forms of heusehold work are excellent in stimuiating the liver, es- pecially in the stooping and stretch- ing movement: For a shiny nose make a lotion of one dram of baracic acid and mix ot with four ounces of rosewater. Apply as often as necessary. - Fruits as mild laxatives and tonios, recommended by phvsicians or well known specific for wlood purification should be.included in the beauty reg- imen. Where the blood eeems too thick and there is a desire to reduce the flesh, lemon, juice should be taken twice daily. Many of nature's tonics are found in green, as dandelion and spinach, both of which are jnvaluable. Give your scalp and hair plenty ntilation. Do this at night, allow- ing the hair to fall over the should- ers. Shake it out and etimes it a sunning, aiso on ild_day sit before an open window and shake out the hair. After meals it is well to rest for & short time—a querter to half an hour. This is specially necessary after the chief meal, and many people are ac- customed to take a short nap after dinner. 1t the sleep is only a short one—not exceeding -haif an hour— there is no objection to it. But if the sleep is permitted to last ome or two hours it is decidedly bad both for di- |Pal gestion and heaith. WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES. Some girls have the strangest ldeas of cool clothes for hot weather. So, long as their outside covering is of the sheerest gauze they thinl they should be cool. Now, as a matter of fact, physical coolness is more de- pepdent on loose clothes than on thin ones. If your stavs are as loose s possible, if you have no tight collars nor shoes, if your dress loose in t, you will be much cooler, even hough the goods of your dress be medium in weight, than the girl who wears a frock of i t thinness but has her stays laced. So have your summer wardrobe made lo0se and comfortable in fit. TO TEST EGGS. If an egg is “strictly fresh” when placed in 2 Do of water, its side on the bottom. If etale it will stand on end, and if very old will rise to the surface. When just a few days vld the egg will begin to tilt a trifie, and as it ages more and more the an- Ble at which it tilts will increase. RELIEF FROM BURNS. Baking soda gives instant relief to a burn or scald. Apply either wet or dry to the burned part at once and the sense of relief is magical It seems to withdraw the heat and with 1t the pain. Grate an apple into your horserad- ish and you will have a fine relish.

A little giycerine added to the water in_ which baby flannels are ‘washed will soften them. Make a strong lather of very hot water and a ®ood white soap, and when lukewarm wash the flannels out, but do not rub soap directly on the fannels. To whiten flannels make a solution of one DEVICE FOR CLOSET. Try this and you will find this de- vice for increasing cioset capacity useful. Fasten one end of a heavy wire—picture wire works well—to the first hook, thread the other end through the spring of a patent clothes- pin and wind the wire about the sec- ond hook and so on around the closet until there is a clothespin between each pair of hooks. These are for holding skirts or waists and can be removed with ease. ABOUT COMB! The best comb for the hair is the hard rubber coarse comb with smooth, rounded edges that will not cut the hair. A fine comb has many disad- vantages, therefore the_ all coarse comb is to be preferrsd. A metal tooth comb tends to pull out good hair and is Jiable to wound ahd scratch the hair. Never use a comb the teeth of which are broken. One should never try to save money at the expense of a good comb. The comb should be washed frequently in water to which amonia has been added. Scrub out the tecth with a nall brush and soap. A sun bath is also good for the comb. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Do mot darn a bath towel. When ch a towel shows signs of a hole, iopsen the . tension of ving machine. and with Jengthened stitch run it back and forth across the tow- el. This makes a neat repair and prolongs the life of the towel. Have you seen the new handker- chiefs made with a wee pocket at one corner, in which, each morning, a |fresh ‘powder puft ‘is placed for the day's needs? It seems so cleanly and fasfidlous thus to replenish the pow- der supply every day, and ceftainly the handkerchief Is a logical and con- venient place to keep it. If you are making a skirt or waist with ' plaits or tucks in it, try press- ing them into place before basting them. Pin them in two or three places and press with a cool iron, removing the pins as you come to them. It is then an easy maiter to baste the plaits or tucks exactly in place. WORTH KNOWING. The girl who stencils will recognize In her olled stencil paper a possibility for making one of the news paper iampshades. The oiling of the board or paper makes it translucent. They can be painted In designs and stripes 0 match the general ¢{6cheme Used in the natural old gold co.or they are equaliy lovely, especi- ally if the base of the lamp is of a solid bright color. Another way to treat the paper shade is to paste cut-out designs from cretonne on ‘the paper and paint in the background with black enamel thinned out as much as possible. This method makes the light shine through the colored designs and leaves the background opaque. Such a shade should not be used. however, where there is only one lamp In the room and where plenty of light is needed. A clever way of meilowing the light from these more decidedly designed per shades is to cover the ouiside with a layer of delicate gauze in a Oeep cream or rose color. This will not interfere with the effsct of the design, but will prove to give a much fter lighting effect than the plain WATERING PLANTS.

Straight rows add io the garden’s beauty and the gardentr’s pride and makes gardening easier, says today's bulletin issued by the National Emer- gency Food Garden Commissiop, which is cooperating with this in urg- ing planting of gardens. siight care needed in this respect is well worth your while. A piece of t cord and two stakes are the equipment needed. Set the stakes at the ends of the row, stretch the string from stake to stake, and open the row by dragging the Point of a hoe underneath the string. In city and town gardens, where the space is restricted, it is best to have the rows run the long way of the garden—north to south it possible to prevent the growing plants from shad- ing each other—and planting several kinds of similarly-growing vegetables, iike green onions, carrots, radishes, etc.. In the same row. 1f you plant such crops Seets, radishes and onions in_ beds, the beds can be made 6 to 8 inches high by digging narrow paths around the beds with a hoe and throwing-the soil u on the beds. A convenient size for such beds is 6 to 12 feet in width and as_much length as you choose. ‘When the drainage of your garden is not good. it is a good plan to grow cabbage. caulifiower, and similar crops on small ridges thrown up with spade or hoe. This gives the roots good drainage. By setting plants on the south side of the ridge they are forced t-_earlier maturity. Other crops, among them early peas and celery, should be planted in Shai- low trenches scooped out with the hoe. When these piants grow the trench soil is gradually worked back around the stalks.

Berat, Albania—The recent opening spring hostilities between the italian and the Bulgarian troods at! Terat, in Southern Albania, renews| irterést in the ultimate fate of that short-lived principality which the Conference of London and the Treaty f Bucharest essaved to establish {and serves to stimulate once more {the wonderment of the lay mind re- |zarding the estimate which belliger- ents so often piace upon tbe prize war. Describing Berat, where hostil- ities have been renewed, the National Geographic Scciety in a bulletin just issued say: - “Aibania has a sea-coast, with a least one port of strategic value, and a long history. Its general worth, however, when measured ia the terms of the blood and treasure which have been equardgred for iis possession, would seem highly exaggerate cause the province for the most part ie rocky and barren. and its mineral swealth, if it exists at all, is inaccessi- Lie and refractory. “Southern Albania, however, boasts A considerable popuiation and no Ii fertility, except imma along the coast: and Berate is located in a productive valiey, north and . west of Aviona—the best of the Albanian ports — about midway between the coast and the Lake of Ochrida and perhaps a third of the distance from Aviona to Monastir, where the be- leagured Serbians are doubtless anx- ious for the reinforcement of rtheir Italian allies. “It is a town of perhaps 15,000 pop- ulation and in Turkish days was the capital of a sanjak, or district, in the Villayet of Jannina. Like many of the ‘towns of Southern Albania, a large portion of the people of Serat sre Greek in blood or religion or both: and it is the seat of a Metropolitan of the Orthodox Greek church. The Al- banian element, however, is in the numerical ascendancy, and here and at Koritza, some forty miles to the cast, were the chief centers of the Albanian Natiopalist movement. “At Berat the fll-fated principality found its warmest support, and the reople of the town possessed sufficient initiative to proceed without the in- structions of the government at Dura- 230, with he result that, considering the short time at their disposal, they had made a surprising beginning of public improvement, including the first and the oniy Albanian attempt at.road making as_a municipal undertaking. It used to be said that there was but one carriage road in all Albania and that that had been built by one of the feudal families from its bstates to Durazzo for the sole purpose of get- ting its wheat crop to the seaboard.
