As candidates for the city election, which takes place a week from today, the republicans nave placed in nomi- nation some well known citizens for the respective offices. This is the so- called off year, inasmuch as the mayor continues in office for another vear, but it is nevertheless an election of importance and cne which ought not 0 be, and which it is believed will not be, overlooked e voters as incon- tection sequential. Every calls for the careful and considerate attention of the electorate. It rests with them as to what kind of a municipal gov- ernment is secured and the endcavor at all times should be to see that the men who are best fitted for office, and those who will give consclentious and thoughtful attention ther those who will place community before per- sonal interest, are selected. The wel- fare of the city must be kept in mind whether it is a vear when there is a contest for mavoralty or not. The republican ticket this yvear in- cludes, with five exceptions, men whose term of rfice expires They, tog: with other of t nominees, had much experience in the conduct of the city's affairs, while the new men in the political arena are by no means strangers to the vo this commun!

Wooden ships were advocated by the shippinz board because it was be- lieved that the material and labor for turning them out quickly could be obtained without trouble, and without interferinz with other construction work which requires so much steel. Recognition is given to this by Gen- but he also points to the handicaps which would be en- countered in getting engines for sup- plying the proper speed for such ves- sels and the fact that they would be unfit for carrying cargoes of coal and ores on long voyages. If it was impossible to get anything better than wooden ships, General Goethals would unquestionably have devoted his energies to the turning out of such a fieet, but following a care- abandon the plan | future, and those which will render the best service and last longest are the ones to be built. This, however, ought not to mean that there is not an opportunity for the many ship- vards which turn out wooden vessels. to render invaluable service. The days of wooden ships are not past but if the success of the shipbuilding ven- ture iies in constructing steel ships let us by all means have them. THE REAL NEED. In view of the stand which the ad- ministration has taken in regard to press censorship, it is an interesting state of affairs which has developed in connection with the sending of the squadron of destroyers to Europe to participate in the submarine chase. According to the information recelved from Aamiral Sims the Germans knew four days before they reached Queens- town that the United States warships were on the way and they knew that they were destined for that harbor. Tn hopes of sinking some of them their course outside of Queenstown was | mined in sufficient time to have caused trouble had it not been discovered. This information is unquestionably made public at this time for the pur- pose of impressing upon the country the wisdom of keeping secret the movements of warships, and in fact ! information which would be ad- vantageous to the enemy, and it can be expected that it will be used as an arsument in behalf of press censor- ship. It must, however, be realized that this was a matter in which the press [ploved mo part. S5 far as anvthins | that was publisheG was concerned the press of the country did not know that a squadron had been despatched to Europe. The vessels proceeded under sealed orders which were not op=ned until after they were hours at sea, so that there was no reveiatfon of the secret by the press. But such does not appear to have been the case with- in governmeut circles where the mis- sion of the destroyers was known. If Germany knew their destination four days in advance there must have been a leak, and ona of such seriousness that it calls for the most thorough investigation. It is made plain that the German spy system is still in good working order and that it does not de- pend upon the press for its informa- tion. Under the existing conditions the newspapers of the country would not think of printing information re- sarding the movement of ships or troops, but why should the ad- ministration endeavor to keep from the people other information which would not be detrimental and which, as this instance shows, can be obtain- ed whether the papers print it or not? The real need seems to be the eradi- cation of the German spies and proper secrecy in government circles. SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. When the war broke out it was re- alized that this country was given an exceptional opportunity for the pur- pose of increasing its trade relations with the countries of South Ameriéa, inasmuch as certain of the BEuropran nations which had been finding a profitable market there were unable to carry on their commercial activities and others were obliged to devote thoir attention to other efforts. We were n opportunity to increase our s to that continent because others e obiized to decrease theirs, and naturally found it convenient to ny purchases there to recom- the supplies which were sent from this country. Thus there is, in the report of ths consul general at Argentina for 1316, hinz unexpected when it is shown Argentina purchased more from country during that year than ltrom any other nation. But even that does not mean that our sales to that country have undergone such an in- crease as might be Imagined, for while it shows a jump of a little over efght million dollars it does not equsd the sales which Germany made to that country four years ago or get to with- in about half of the sales made by Great Britain to Argentina in the same vear. The United States has developed its sales a trifle and its purchases by a large amount but this has becn be- cause the two nations which formerly topped it in trade relations with Ar- gentina were forced by the war to abandon much of that business, and vet only a small proportion of that de- crease in European sales to Argentina has come to this country, and unless there is a greater expansion In the future than thers has been in the past it can be expoccted that there will be but little more than the normal im- |provement in the trade relations be- tween the two countries after the war | ends. | urope EDITORIAL NOTES. There is no use mourning about the backwardness of the fly swatting sea- on, there'll be plenty of it to be done later on. The man on the corner says: Some how or other there are plenty of toples for discussion without reverting to the age of Anne. Now that the king of BEneland has gone to raising spuds, it will not do for anyone across the water to talk disparagingly of small potatoes. Many a farmer would be glad to en- tertain a houseful of guests during the summer if they could be persuaded [to lend a hand in raising the crops. With President Wiison demanding the censorship of the press it shows a decided change of mind since the e when he stood for pitiless pub- licity. —_—— A military eritio of a Dutch news- paper belittles the part which the United States can play in the war, but he will have an opportunity to undergo a change of mind. The story Is being circulated to the effect that crows are being eaten by the Germans. That may be one of the reasons why the kaiser has sent for his American dentist to get his teeth in shape. There can be nothing surprising in the declaration that Germany has act- ually offered Russia a separate peace and that Russia has refused to accept it. Bven the new government knows better than to trust to the promises of a nation which has broken so many. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE up a washing, be sure eiathasping Tn whete ey Wl a mark.

Befors using cake tins rub them well with lard and heat them in the oven. This prevents themi from rust- ing after they are washed. Nothing is better for perfumed lin- en than little bags of gauze filled with dried rose leaves, lavender, lemon, verbena or heliotrope. To rid a carpet of moths, soak the affected in benzoline, being care- ful that there is no light or fire any- where near. Do not leave wooden tubs dry, or they will quickly crack and come apart. Keep a little water always standing in them. After frying onions pour a little vin- egar into the frying pan, let it et hot, and it will remove all smell from the pan. When washing coarse clothes use soft soap, as it will go farther than the ordinary vellow and is more effi- capious. To prevent the gravy soaking through the bottom crust of meat pies brush over the crust with white of ess. Silk should never be ironed on the right side. as it will be shiny wherever the iron has touched it CHAMOIS BOOTEES. Chamois_is sometimes used for boo- tees for baby, and several clever math- ers save all the upper sections of their long kid gloves and use them for the same purpose. Kid gloves are gener- ally worn out first in the fingers or paim, and the upper part of discard- ed gioves is usually in good condition and is easily converted into soft, com- fortable bootee: . Select a simple pattern and If it is a paper pattern with embroiders® omit the latter, use carbon paper and trace only the outer Jines, then cut out with scissors, make a plain edge, or cut it round in the form of scaiiops. When chamois or kid is used work a loose buttonhole or blanket stitch around the edge, placing the stitches quite some distance apart. This pre- vents the leather from stretching and makes the bontees prettier. The sole and_seam should be overcast with small stitches on the right side. The stitching should be of the same color ag the leather or a shade darker and ribbon should be used to lace the boo- tee and hold it in its place. _ REDUCE ICE BiLL. To keep milk without ice, fit a fine wire gauze 1id to a tin pail, cover with carpet or other coarse cioth and set 'in a raised shady window. This will be found purer and sweeter than milk kept in majority of refrigera- tors and will also save vou an ice bill. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Living too much indoors or in poor- Iy ventilated offices is responsible for many shallow, wrinkled skins seen alike on both men and women. Soap and water are used before a cleansing cream when desired. The latter penetrates more deeply into the pores, especially when the fingertips are slightly warmed, as it is more quickly absorbed. Don't let yourself get into the habit of being bored. It is not worth while. ‘When you feel it coming on plunge at once into some task that will take all your time and energy. It is better to run away from certain things than to let them irritate you. — An_excellent tonic astringent that is” wiped over the face several times a day with a bit of absorbent cotton or soft cloth is the following: Rose- water, 3 ounces; ederflower water, 1 ounce; simple tincture of benzoin, 1-4 ounce; tannic acid, 5 grains. FOR TCMMY TUCKER. When your particular little boy sings for his supper see that he is set down to eomething as attractive as this little supper set, which will amuse him if he eats alone or at least keep him quief if hz shares his evening meal with the family. It consists of a traycldth of crash all finished with fancy buttonholing in black and embellished with a pro- cession of animals from the cross stitch book. The bib, which Tommy Tucker will put on to protect his clean suit will follow the same general dec- orative scheme. Then there are two little napkins each with one of the cross—no, croes stitched—animals in one corner. These are used to form an extra protection under the little one’s plate, especially if the cloth is used to cover his portion of a polish- ed table. Surely a kiddie would not grow obstinate at a supper served under such attractive conditions. HOW TO TRANSFER. Here are suggestions for transfer- ring the embroidery design before you to any material. Perhaps the easiest way is the “win- dow pane” method. This is_ success- ful when the material is thin, like linen, batiste, etc. PIn the sheet of paper and the material together and hold them up against the glass of a window. With a sharp pencil draw on the material the design, which can be easily seen through the goods. If one-half of the design only is given, unpin the paper and turn the other side to the fabric. If you have cor- bon paper you should place the sheet between the fabric and the news- paper. The latter is on top. With & sharp pencil go over the outlines of the design. The impression will be left in fine lines and will last untll warked. KNITTING KINK. Some of the “knitting gire” are making the lovliest sweaters out of two colors of wool. They merely use the double strand, one of each color, and treat it as they would the single thread of wool in any other sweater. The effect at a distance is novel and artistic when the right colors are rombined. The darker wool is us- ually used for the trimming bands, sash, collar and cuffs. Sieeveless sweaters made in this way of college colors are popular with the younger sirls. DICTATES OF FASHION. A for the has Batet catn nbwachot giown b uf 'S - broidered flowers.

Ribbon straps hold the gown in place. A charming novelty is of flowered or fruited jersey, simple of design but exquisite of coloring. On a voile frock is a narrow girdle made of varicolored ribbons woven together. Pouch pockets are very unusual on a stole of mole. These are placed at the ends and are lined with fancy silk. ‘Beaded parasois are quite a novel- ty. Every other panel of each parasol is ornamented with an ornate design worked in brilliant beads. Many of the new capes are equip- d with vests. One cape of navy serge has a red velour waistcoat fast- ened with three brass buttons. Quite unusual is a Dolly Varden wool jersey suit. Little nosegays are repeated over the entire surface. Two narrow belts hold in the black full- ness, while in front the belt is in one plece with the side yokes on which pockets ‘turn up. Black velvet crowns and transpar- ent brims combine to make charm- ing hats for wear with summer frocks. IN DOTS AND DASHES. When your frock or your blouse is in need of a little decorative fluffery take some ordinary yarn or floss and do all the hems and things in dots and dashes. You may apear some- what llke a characterization of the Morse code, but you will be pre- eminently in the front rank of the soldier of fashion. So what matter? COLORING PROCESS. If you have ribbons or waists of delicate shade which have become faded and soiled you can restore them to their natural color or change to a darker shade #f desired. Buy tube water color paints, which come at 10 cents at the drug store. Put a few . drops, or until the shade desired is reached, in gasoline. After well dis- solved dip goods in and continue dip- ping until shade is desired. You can color feathers in this way also. \. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. A pretty tea cloth can be made out of heavy scrim. Draw threads at four- inch intervals to form squares. The squares that border the edge can have the corners embroidered with a desiz= in blue. A piece of cardboard with rounded edges should be kept in the family mending basket. It is a most efficient help when patching play dresses. The cardboard can be slipped into an in- convenient place and so hold the ma- terial taut while the patching is ac- complished. 1Tt is also a help when mending stockings, which by the way, can often be patched to better ad- vantage than darned, especially if the hole is large. A variation of the patchwork quilt is one made from aternating squares of pink and white or blue and white or lavender and white sateen, one set | of squares being worked in simple embroidery, stitch with a wreath or other design. Such quilts as these make attractive needlework for the porch, especially those that are moade in squares, as these take little space and ‘are not trying to the eyes or nerves. THE LONG SCARF. The long scarf is an interesting note of the season. For sports it is emin- ently practical, and it makes a grace- ful and attractive wrap for afternoon wear developed in more elaborate style and materials. Another example of the scarf wrap is shown in an afternoon costume of beige silk crepe and black iace. The crepe is one of the new weaves aml is trimmed with bands of hand-em- broidery in the eame tint. done with raised cords and flat silk threads. The plisse frills at the neck, sleeves and | sides are of narrow, fine black lace. The wrap is a kind of glorified “escharpe” or scarf, made of the crepe and Of transparent black lace flounc- ing, a large part of its width being of the lace flouncing. These odd wraps are one of the features of the new styles, and some of the style creators show a cape effect made with a wide band of insertion in black edge. Some are made of deep ruffies and there are various pretty devicés and graceful draperies em- bodied in this new idea in wraps. One of the models is an speciaily typical example of the TIndo-China style ideas that have appeared in various collections for the spring. It is not only of the east in its line# and colorings, but has the rich and won- derful eastern embroideries as part of the frock itself. HOME HOSPITAL BAG.

Mr. Fditor: It was with great pleas- ure that I read the estimates of the finance commitice for the ensuing year in this morning’s issue of The Bulietin and I compared the estimates with the treasurer’s report for the year ending May 15th, 1917. 1 found severaj items which T would like to have explained through the press so as to enlighten the voters and taxpayers. 1 would prefer the explanation to be made by some member of the finance commitice 50 that we will know it is authorita- tive The first question I would like an- swered is, can ot will they refer me to any city {reasurer’s report for 25 years past which will show any prior ad- ministration ever having had a deficit of over $5,000 at the end of their year? as T find by the treasurer's report for the year.ending May 15th, 1217, a de- ficit_ of “$5,667. Of that amount, $4,875.41 was overdrawn between Aprii 15th, 1917, and May 13th, 1917, as the defictt on April 10th, 1917, was $792.01. I would like to know why there Is not more money in the estimated receipts for the ensuing year under the item of cash on hand May 15th, 1917, than $2,522.59, as I find by the treasurer's report of May 15th, 1817. that there was an unexpended balance for last year of $23,670.94, £0 there should be that amount of cash on hand, because we have all paid our taxes, which we were tald at the last city meeting would be necessary to pay the appro- priations that were made at that meeting; and a jarge part of the work that was included in those appropria- tions has not been done, except sur- veying therefor. 1 would like to know Wwhy we are asked to appropriate this year $13,000 for the collection of garbage and aches when the appropriation was never more than $7,500 for any previous year, which said appropriation was never overdrawn until this year to a sum of more than $200, bu: this vear just closed it was overdrawn $1,795.79 in the last two months of the year. 1 have had the question partly an- swered by the claim of the increase in cost of everything and the high cost of living, which might go in some cases, but in the collecting of garbage and ashes they have never informed me of any material that has to be fur- nished, other than what the taxpayers furnish free gratis, to be carried away.

HOME GARDENS Celery. “Let me suggest that every one who creates or cultivates a garden help, and helps greatly, to solve the prob- lem of the feeding of the nations.”"— President 'Wilson. Formerly good celery could be grown only by expert market garden- ers, and it was a ‘uxury enjoyed by common folks only on such special o~ casions as Thanksgiving and Chriat- mas. Now, thanks to the developmens of a scientific process known the “new celery culture” the _succulent plant can be grown satisfactorily in any small garden with good sgjl, says the bulletin from the National Emer- gency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating with this pa; to encourage the planting of food ga® dens this vear. Growing of celery off a commercinl scale is an expensive process, requir- ing transplanting and later the blanch- ing of the stalks by shading either with boards set on edge on both sides of the rows or by heaping earth around the plants 6o that only the leafy tops show. The new celery culture consists of planting celery so closely together that the tops themselves form a mass of shade through which no sunlight can penctrate. The perfection of new va- rieties of self-bleaching celery aid the home zardenmer to produce an abund- ance of white stalks on a small area of ground. Such cultivation is adapted to gar- dens which can be irrizated from a city water -supply. Celery consumes enormous quantities of both water and fertilization plant food, so that heavy is also necessary in the new celery culture. (Several wheelbarrow loads of well-rotted manure should be work ed into the soil of a celery be feet square. Plant the seeds in special beds now thickly. As soon as you can handle the seedlings spread them out by transp'anting €o that they are 2 inches apart each way. At the bezinning of summer these plants will be ready for permanent transplanting to a bed which has already zrown an ecarl crop of some vegetable. Set the plants | 6 inches apart in 8 inche apart. rows on THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society, Kopenick, a m; near Berlin where a is reported to have destroyed one c the principal airplane factories o Germany yecently, is described in th following/war geography builetin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society “The town of Kopenick, situated 10 miles southwest of the German capital is built on an .island formed by the confluence of the Rivers Dahme and Spree. Its 30,000 inhabitants are large:y engaged in industrial pursuits, the chief articles of manufacture be- ing inks, glass, linoleum, dyes, and saw mill machinery. The city's air- plane factory which was destroyed by | fire a few days ago was a recent ad- dition to the manufacturing activities of the community. “The history of Kopenick zoes back to the middle ages. It is said to have Deen the residence of the Slavic prince Jaczo in the 12th century and a hun- dred years later came into the posses- sion of the margrave of Brandenburg. “Kopenick has heen the scene of two unique events—one tragic and the other farcical, but both having a mil- itary setting. The first was the trial of Frederick the Great, then crown prince, In 1730, and the other . the laughable escapade of ‘the captain of Kopenick.’ ‘It was in the roval palace of the electors of Brandenburg that the un- happy Frederick was court-martialed by order of his father. King Freder™k Wiliam I. His often® was his at- tempt to escape from the malevolg-t persecution of the king. Lieutenant Katte, one of the two Prussian of- ficers’ who had tried to assist the prince in reaching the English coust, was condemned to two years' impris- onment, but the irate father, in order to set an example to his son. had the sentence changed to the death penalty and the unhappy officer was beheaded | before the window of the 1%-year-old royal youth. After this tragic specta- cle the boy's spirit was broken for a time, whereupon his own death sen- tence was commuted to a period of nominal imprisonment for more than a year. “The ‘captain of Kopenick' episode is in pleasing contrast to the fore- soing grim incident.
