but it was first looted. At the ¢ As these losses were made public the announcement was . put forth that Spain would protest to Ber- lin against the injustice of this treat- ment, ' That little or no satistaction was received as the result of such ac- tion and the possbility that a threat was made of worse treatment unless Spain submitted is now indicated by the report which comes from Madrid to the effect that Spain will henceforth confine its ships to coastwise traffic exclusively and -permit them to en- gage in nothing else. This seems to.mean that that courn- try is going to knuckle down to Ger- man @i on regardless of its rights and through such an .attitude it is eas- ier to understand why Spain recently held up the goods for Pershing’s men which were bought in that country. Spain, like some other -countries, seems to have greater t for those nations which treat it the worst. ON THE EASTERN FRONT. Even though th¢ bolsheviki have given notice to the effect that it is out of the war and that its army is to be demobilized and that any understand- ing between Russia and the entente nations is at an cnd, it must be made quite evident both to the central pow- ers and Russia that their troubles are not all ended. It was apparent when the central powers made Deace with | the Ukrainians tht the bolsheviki re- {sented this effort to stand by one of ¢ its provinces which has declared its independence and which it was doing its utmost to overccma by, force of arms. The central pcwers were in- tent upon getting the benefits which would come through a peace with that section of Russia which was known to be possessed or capable of raising quantities of foodstuffs and it suc- ceeded, but now they are being called upon to protect the Ukraine against the military operations of the bolshe- viki and if reports are true Germany is’ massing troops in that provinee. Whatever feeling the bolsheviki may have had over the separate peace with ,that province it is bound te be in- creased by this further indication of making war upon the bolsheviki and interfering with Russian ‘sovereignty. It has even been claimed that Ger- many intends to continue its war against Russia until.it has gotten pos- session of Petrograd. This makes it evident that even though,the bolshe- viki want peaceful conditions the same attitude does not prevail with Ger- many, that it is determined wupon conguest as much as ever and that the days of peace on the eastern front may be much further off than was expect- ed, and Goufie? 122 YEARS OLD W*m week; 500 mouths = year. o 3 Entered at the Postotfics as Norwic Conm., &3 second-class matter. _ Telephone Callsy Bulletin Business Office 480.

Just at this timc ‘when examina- tions are being made for the purpose of filling out the quoéta of the first draft and getting the list ready for the second the names of those who have rot filled out their questionnaires or have not appeared for examination are being furnished. The first impression gained from this liet is that they are slackers and have dodged their respon- sibilities in order to escaps tary duty and that immediate steps ghould be taken to locatc -them amd have them inducted into the sérvice at once or make them pav the Denalty which is attached to the failure to respect the draft law. On second thought, however, it will be realized that the classifyine of all} Jn such a list as slackers ia decided)y unjust because there appeans ti the names of those who are a the army and navy dcing s in the training camps in t} or abroad, and, thers ar where those who have en died in such se: shows that they ! highest degree of their names for somn» reason or otlhie do happén to appear now amons thosy wha bavd falled to answer the questior for examination, cnld be saspended list of thoss who ~re Fet forth as delinquents.

NORWAY’S PECULIAR ATTITUDE. In its refusal to meet the demands of the United States concerning a food rationing agreemcnt, Norway declares i-vm it cannot bi¢ak off eommercial relations with ome of the -belligerent parties without the serious danger arising that it will not be possible to maintain the political neutrality of the country much longer. Thus Norway seems to say that it is going to re- main true to -all the belligerents re- sardless of those which zre willing to befriend it and those .who are con- » exacting a tremendous toll in property. It makes no d;s- between. its friends and iis it’ be imagined that Norway u'l be: wiliinz to exchgnge gaods th this country if the United States Ve was, con; andifz its veszels to ars>{the bottom? Norway declares that it 27 inceds moods from the contral powers fore it w con'inue to ren- in esmnensation for those supplies. But Norway - epparently doesn’t stop to consider what a. price it is paying for those supplies. In ad- dition to recompense which it makes for the supplies received Norway has goflered the loss of 714 vesSels of a tonnaga of 1.050,583 and 883 lives and in addition 53 vessels carrying crews numbering 700 persons have been post- cd as missing and cf that number two- thirds were war losses. Norway certainly must be in des- perate need of the moods which it ob- tains from Germany. if it is willing to swallow that kind of treatment and ‘mvite its continuance. 2 A FIRM HAND NEEDED. Nothing can be more dutrimental to the interests of the country at the present time than the strikes which sre taking place among the employes —~ of the shipyards and the efforts which are being made to extend them. The nation's greatest need at present is ships and yet there are certain of those who are getting a good wage who, by their acticns, are absolutely disregarding their responsibility at such a time and doing their utmost to lend comfort and istance to the enemy. The trouble began on the western coast and it has now extend- ed to the shipbuilding plants along the Atlantic coast. The employes thus involved are asking for a big increase in wages and an adjustment cf other conditions in aceordance with their ideas. They are maintaining that inasmuch as private shipbuilders are making huge sums off of this war work that they should be allowed to participate in the profits and they are deteérmined to get them even if it is necessary to obstruct the nation's work. 8 There is no question but what the . shipyard employes should get fair of theAbulshev)ln are treating the treatment.

When preparing a chicken try rub- bing it inside with a plece of lemon, and you will find it very goed, as it whitens the flesh and makes it more ‘tender. An excellent way to keep the chim- ney, free from soot is to sprinkle an occasional teaspoon of saltpeter over the fire. i Always sew buttonholes shut before washing a sweater or anything .in which the buttonholes are liable to stretch. Grease stains on leather may be re- moved by benzine or pure turpentine. Wash spots afterward with beaten white of egg or a kid reviver. To remove finger marks from white woodwork, rub them dently with a soft cloth dipped in whiting. A colored or faded blquse or dress that has lost color in ing or from exposure may be bleached to a pure white by boiling in cream of tartar. To sweeten” rancid butter, melt the butter, skim it, then place a piece of light brown toast in it and in a few minutes the toast will have absorbed the unpleasant taste. In cooking peas and beans the water should be allowed to boil away to al- most nothing. When the seasoning is put in this makes a- delicious sauce. ‘When polishing the /stove add a lit- tle sugar or syrup to polish and it will not burn off so' quickly. To' take machine oil out of white materfal dip the spot into cold water while it is fresh. It pays to buy in large quantities if you have a place to take care of what you buy. Orange and lemon peel make a fine flavoring for syrups, jellies and pre- serves, ‘Water in. which rice has been cooked makes an excellent starch for lingerie walsts. If your glass jars .won't open, set them top downward in an inch or two of hot water. Water in which meat and vegetables have been cooked makes good soups. . Dry pieces of bread or cakes make excellent puddings. BLEACHING HINT. If a dress of light or medium coler, has become faded, it may be bleached perfectly white. Fill small gS made of cotton cloth with chloridé of lime. The bags should be about 3 by 4 inch- es. Put these bags in a tub of hot water and let the lime dissolve. These bags serve to keep the lime from eat- ing material. Stir water well, put in material and soak over night. Two | bags should be used for light colored material and three for darker. If the goods does not bleach perfectly by this method, it may be supplemiented by boiling in clear water for a short time, then hung in the sunm to dry. Rinse well. This process does not hurt cot- ton or mercerized material, SMOKE STAINS. This suggestion will be beneficial to housewives who have not the conven- ience of electricity or the modern gas £RF fixtures. Frequently the ceiling above an old fashioned gas jet becomes dis- colored from smoke and heat. The discoloration may be removed with a piece of flannel. After the mix- ture has dried it should be brushed lightly with a brush. No stain or mark will remain. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. The early morning is the best time for outdoor cxercise. When the edges of the ecyelids are red and inflamed they should be treat- To remove warts, take a potato, scrape it and make a poultice, tie on the wart at bedtime. Do this twice a week for three or four weeks and the wart will disappear and leave no mark. The main object in brushing the hair is to cleanse and stimulate the scalp and to clean and render smeéoth and glossy the hair. Correct brushing is a valuable form of massage of the scalp. Soap jelly is good to spread over the face after steaming out the black- heads. It is made as follows: Pare one cake of castile soap into three cups of water to which has been added one teaspoon of powdered borax. Boil un- til the mixture jellies. Put in a cov- ered glass jar and use ag wanted. GAY HUES IN PETTICOATS. ) 3 Petticoats are said to be going out of fashion because narrow skirts are coming iuto fashion again. Neverthe- less, there are many women who will never be prevailed upon, stylé or no style, to discard the most feminine garment of the wardrobe. For them has been provided many charming models of soft silks and of chiffon taffetas. These materials do not add any perceptible bulk to the silhouette, whiie they give just enough backing or foundation to-the dress to preserve fhe original lines. ‘The black petticoat is a rarity. One no longer considers the extremelv practical phase of dress, but régari® it more or less of a duty to wear cheerful clothes. If purple and searlet, igreen and yellow are too pronounced for outer habilaments, then they may be merely ‘glimpsed heneath the tafl- ored skirt or the trotteur of serge or satin. - It is a prettv idea to have the petti- coat match the trimming of the milli- nery or of the gown, if the latter shows garniture of a contrasting color. Some women have the petticoat of a color corresponding with the hosiery’ but if the former is very gay, it is questionable taste to extend its jubi- lant note to the anMles and thereby practically destroy the charming ef- fect of the color suggestion in-the un- dergarment. FLY DESTROYER. | The use of fly polson preparations has many distinct advantages over the methods of combating the fly nuisance within the household. A serious draw- back to this method has heretofore been the extremely poisonous charac- ter of the substance available and the consequent danger, especially to chil- dren, attending their use. A survey has been made of other chemical substances having possible poison properties with a view to sub- stituting them for the dangerous arse- nic preparations now commonly em- ployed. A poison of efficiency and of dis- tinetly superior gualities in many ‘has been found in the substance - um salicylate—a one per cent. aque- ous solution of which is recommended.

LINE YOUR MUFF. Line your winter muff with velvet. if you haven't new velvet, use old, it will never wear out, is much warm- er than silk, and one doesn't have to | be constantly relining, as one does with_silk. | DICTATES OF FASHION. | Tailored suits with wide sashes of silk or zatin are smart. i _ Simple long coats are given distinc- jtion by high scarf collars. Cloth skirts are sometimes caught up at the back to form a bustle. i, Tea gowns are being worn by Eng- {lish women as dinner dresses. * Paprika, terra cotta and cayenne are variations of the flame colors. ! A black velvet hat may be trimmed i with golg colored satin ribbon. The latest form of the chemise frock is belted closely at the wajst. Flaring cuffs finish the bottom& of !sume of the tight fitting sleeves. Among the new hats are some shaped likke Russian turbans. The jnformal evening gown has won many fashionable hearts. In these war times assertive intense colors are banned. Vivid touches are permitted, but a vehement tone scheme throughout is viewed with disfavor. The main tome of the coat, frock, or whatever it is, may be some soft, subdued, neutral tone, but a bright- ening touch is introduced in the form of a lining, a pendant, at hatpin, a brinch of flowers tucked into the waist- belt, or artistic trimmings. A Chinese jade pendant. with its wonderful ~ cool green depths and quaint. flat carving can lighten up the frent of the dullest dress: a row of cloudy amber béads does the same, while - everyone ackpowledges the charm an adroitly toned boutonniere can give. EVENING GOWNS . From Paris the word comes that eve- ining zowns of gold and silver cloth are the latest of the season’s offerings. There is nothing te do with this ma- terial except to hang it siraight and |flat, for it will not drape with any i gracefulness. But, granting that its |Lne must be plain, combined with col- orful chiffon or tulle, it makes the loveliest of evéning things. In Paris, too, frocks for daytime wear have black and white checks of high fre- quency. It seems that their happiest idea is to use the checked material, whatever it may be—velvet, serge, or silk—for only a part of the dress or the coat, or even of the blouse. One of their newest frocks has a blue-gray velvet skirt. and the little perky basque coat worn with it is made of black and white checked vel- vet. ts pleated peplum hangs about two narrow belt of the same material. They are making blouses of ywhite satin trimmed with waistcoats and with bits of collars and cuffs of black land white checked satin. or vice ver- sa. The blouse itself is of the checked material, trimmed with .plain. A NEW SHADE There is a lovely new shade in veil- ing which will interest the women, is called “snow gray,” which is a much prettier expression than “city snow,” which is nearer the truth, one must ddmit. And speaking of color, there is a beautiful shade to combine with African brown to give it life, and that is jade or any of the lovely new blue greens or green blues, whichever one chooses to regard them. SEWING TERMS It Shirrings consist of a number of rows of gatherings either on tucked or_plain material. Ruching is made like rufles, but us- uvally is not wide, and is hemmed on both edges and gathered or pleated in the centre. Cording is made in the same way as shirring or gathering, only the mater- ial is folded in tuck effect over a cord and is stitcheg with a running stitch. Seams are bound with a small run- ning stitch, the tave or othaf binding being held down over the seam edge while sewing. Catstitching forms a sort of seam stitch from left to right. with a short stitch from right tc_left, having the needle point in the direction opposite to the direction of the thread. The needle is @rawn out and the slanting and short stitch continued alternately. TO SMALLEST DETAIL. - There are many persons who do not approve of wearing mourning and'then again there are others who sanction it and even wear it at inopportune times —that is, they are not mindful of the little details that make for proper mourning. ~ They may wear black frocks and black hats, but they don't hesitate at all to carry a gold handled umbrella or a colorful knitting bag, and these are only a few of the errors they make. The woman who knows how t6 wear mourning presents a very attractive picture. The other day a woman came into a doctor's B ——— DAVIS THE Rt COMING NEXT WEEK WM. S.

This is a dish drainer which ' has proved so successful-and is so simple that no one need be without it. Use rather a large ordinary bake pan with raised_handles at each end. Through these handles place a stick and stand dishes on either side of the stick to in dull drain. The deviee, costs nothing and saves the .storage space of an extra utensil. , HIGH NECKS The vogue for high brought about the guimpes made of whitt satin in front and with net backs. Those guimpes have the necks variously finished with turnover collars or with chokers that terminate in the jabot suggestion. For the most part they are sleeveless and are to be worn in lieu of waistcoats or with the open front frock of more or less dressy pretension.
