first place that the former president would aceept such a commission, even thoush he has been, and probably still is, ready to do whatever he can to aid the count Such a move was not considered advisable, according to advice received from both sides of the water, when such a step was be- ing urged relative to giving aid to France, and there are many reasons why it would be equally inadvisable when Russia is being considered. Members of the commission who have recently returned from Russia, including Chairman- Root, are pro- nounced in their opposition to any such step. There is no doubt but what this country can do much to aid Russia th meeting its complex prob- lems, but it does not lie in sendinz an army there. Russia's needs lie in another direction and the greatest contributions which the United States can make will be in giving it such financial assistance as it requires and in furnishing through such means the upplies which it is clamoring for.

It has suffered greatly from lack of loy- alty because of the German. propa- ganda which has been carried on within its fighting forces, ard the country is still pervaded with that dangerous influence. It must be re- alized . that such an army as this country could send there would be less than a drop in the bucket. The Russian problems must be tackled In another way by the giving of support to the Russian leaders who are striv- ing to overcome the present handi- caps, and the using of = our troops where they will be of some benefit.

To mike good floor polish, melt a trifle less than half a pound of beeswax and pour it into a quart of turpentine and add to it five cents’ worgh of am- monia. Put it in a tin pail and set in another veseel containing hot water. Keep on the back part of the stove to heat and keep warm while using, as it can be applied better. Arply with a flannel cloth and polish with a piece of felt or Brussels carpet. To whiten ivory piano keys, clean with a damp cloth and whitening and polish with a dry cloth.

A coat of linseed oil applied to the window ecreen on bouth sides will pre- vent rust as successfully as paint does and is much more easily and quickly put on. Use a small brush and apply rather sparingly. When _ironing handkerchiefs, begin in the middle When the edges are ironed first tke middle of the hand- kerchief is apt to swell up like a bal- loon, making it difficult to iron the whole properl. To clean lacquered articles, brush with hot water and mild soap, wiping and drving before the fire and finish- ing with o soft cloth. Do not use alkali or soda. Tt will remove the lacquer. To make flypaper. take equal parts of boiled linseed oil and resin. melt them and add some honey. Soak the paper in a_strong solut'on of alum, then dry before applying the above. To clean black silk. sponge with strong cold tea into which a little hartshorn has been put, and then iron on the wrong side with a fairly hot iron. TWhen a cloth drese becomes spotted, sponge i with equal parts of hot wa- ter and turpentine. Iron the parts when drs over u damp cloth. Pieces of old kid gloves are excellent for mending the back seams of chil- dren’s shoes. Sew the patch neatly on the insid> of the worn*place. Gelatine and jelly molds should be rinsed in hot water, then steeped in cold water for 10 minutes before being filled with jelly. Pastry that is to be eaten cold should Le mixed with milk.

HOME MADE STOCKINGS. A woman who keeps her wits about her is now engazed in providing her | friends for a modest charge with stockings to match their jersey and other frocks for sport and street. She gets a_small amount of the jersey cloth and cuts out the stockings af- ter a pattern evolved from her own imagination. The seams are done with the machine attachment being sold now for making seams in jersey cloth. An engaging touch is being given to these homemade stockings by the ad- dition of hand embroidered clocks and instep decoration of silk or wool em- broidered, motif of the dress of which they are desisned to be a part. AUTUMN COLORS, Already Paris fashions, and the s busy planning fali very first thing to be decided is the question of colors. 50 that manufacturers of materials may set to work. After that, there will be time enough to arrange about siyles and silhouettes Decidedly rusty is the shade that promises to be most fashionable next fall. It is called rouills, which in fact means rust. There are two rust shades, both reddish brown but one very much brighter than the other. All the new Eravs are metallic grays—nothing so soft as smoke. Silver. nickel, gun metal and gray are represented: there is plati- num gray, too, and there is pewter: even aluminum gray is not forgotten. Quite appropriately, for autumn time, the new greens are caled duck iron pheasant browns. Most of the new blues are called army blue, and the shades number as many as there are kinds of blue uniforms in the world. —— sy WOMANINLFEANDM“‘EK!TC}“ he e e - £ afaumive “tae Of course the choice of Paris is the French uniform blue.

A number of letters have been re- ceived by the departmeént calling at- teation 10 the fact that.certain news- papers and magazines are advocating the use of rhubarb leaves for greens and that disastrous results have fol- lowed the acceptance of the advice.

Miss Ethel Lee of Minneapolis who holds the northwestern skating cham- pionship for women. is a brilliant ten- nis and baseball plaver as well. In baseball she is credited with throwing and batting like an experienced leag- uer. FLOWER HINTS. Always pull the leaves off the stalks of flowers before putting them in wa- ter—those lcaves which would be in the water, Tot those above it. And with flowers from any hard stalked sort of shrub the bark should be peel- ed off as well as the leaves. , * SHUT OFF THE VIEW, When you want to shiut off the view from any window you can do it cheap- 1y by dissolving in a little hot water as much epsom salts as the water will absorb. Paint over the window while hot and when dry you will have a good imitation of ground glass. RECIPES.

City _ FOOD STOCKS HELD IN REAIL STORES TO BE INVENTORIED To Ascertain the Amount of Food Predusts on Hand. Washington, Aug. 26.-Food stocks held in retail stores of city and rural portions in 43 counties in various parts of the country will be inventoried on Aug. 31 to furnish the basis for an estimaté by the department of agri- culture’s bureau of markets of the amount of food products in the hands of retail dealers. A detailed survey also will be made in New York city, which is to be handled as a separate problem. The survey of retail stocks. the plan for which was made public tonight, is one of four branches of the great task of estimating the country’s entire stock of food as of Aug. 31, whick has been undertaken by the bureau of markets for the Gepartment of agriculture and the food administration. Other sur- will caver stocks .on farms, in wholesale commercial establishments and storages and in the homes of con- sumers. Local work will be directed for the bureau by agents of the bureau of chemistry and of the states relations service. Boards of trade, chambers of commerce, ra.ufl grocers' associations and farm bureau agents and other state, county and city officials have promised their assistanca.
