SOME GOOD ADVICE. That was a sensible hit of advice which was given to the drivers of automobiles in New York city by a magistrate when he directed them not to frighten to death children in the street, who were in danger of being struck by the car, by loud blasts of the horn, but to slow down the car and give them the protection which they deserve. There is no question but what a great many accidents could be avoid- ed if such care was used. Too fre- quently is it thé case that drivers ap- pear to carry the impression that they can whiz through the streets at brealneck speed and expect that they are going to get a clear right of way | by sounding their horns as frantically {as if they had hold of the whistle rope on a locomotive. Those who drive at improper speed do not like to be bothered by the slowing down of their cars. They think everyone, children included, should respond at once to the blasts of their horn and fail to figure that such sudden sig- REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET. For Mnyor, ROBERT M'NEELY.

They are satisfied to chuckle over the way in which they startle people who yield the road and are-unable to understand how the ac- cidents happen when they fail to get a clear path and strike the victim. The trouble is that too little thought is given to the rights of others and an unwillingness to drive the cars through city streets at a speed which permits them to have full control of the machines. The New York mag- istrate has sensed a serious trouble with many, not all, auto drivers.

It is for this purpose that the fighting forces rather than territory are being saved.

Not a little Swed- ish shipping has been tied up in this country because of the war conditions. Some ships have taken advintage of the opportunity of engaging in neu- ral traffic from American ports for brief periods but from the commer- cial understanding which has been reached in Stockholm between repre- sentatives' of the two countries many Swedish ships are to be put into the service of the allies and it is to be presumed that they will be taken over under much the same terms as were the Dutch ships. Sweden is in need of grain. It is not as yet actually suffering from the lack of it, but it is reaching the point where unless something in the way of relief is speedily obtained there will be much distress through cur- tailments which will have to be made. By the agreement Sweden will get many tons of grain to tide it over un- til the next harvest and’the use of a certain number of its ships will be secured by the United States. The 400,000 tons which will be obtained amounts to but little over half as much more tonnage as was turned out last month in shipyards of this coun- but it can be put to excellent use in many directions “and duly wel- comed. of rt s.

A ball of siring in the guest room is a convenience. Often when a guest is packing there is need of string. A bunch of baggage tags in the desk will be appreciated. BONING A CHICKEN. In buying birds for boning select those which have been fresh killed or, if frozen, bone immediately after thawing, singe, remove pin feathers, head and feet and cit off wings close to the body in small birds. A well known cook book gives the following directions for boning a chicken: Lay chicken on a board, breast down. Begin at neck with sharp knife, cut through the skin the entire length of body. Scrape the flesh from the backbone until end of one shoulder blade is found; scrape flesh from shoulder blade and continue around wing joint, cutting through tendinous portions which are entountered; then bone other side. Scrape skin from backbone the en- tire length of body, working across the ribs. Free wishbone and collarbone, at same time removing crop and wind- pipe; continue down breastbone, par- ticular care being taken mnot to break the skin, as it lies very near bone. or to cut the 8elicate membranes which inclose entrails. Scrape fiesh from second joints and drumsticks, laying it back and drawing off as a glove may be drawn from the hand. Withdraw carcass and put flesh back in its original shape. In large | birds where wings are boned, scrapé flesh to middle joint, where "bone should be broken, leaving bone at tip to assist in preserving shape. FOR THE LOSS OF VOICE. For the loss of voice a simple and effective remedy is to beat the white of an egg to a froth, add the juice of half a lemon and a teaspoonful of sugar. Take this once or twice an hour. HEALTH AND BEOUTY. When a cramp in the leg comes on take a good, long string—a garter will do—wind it around the leg over the place that is affected and take the end in each hand and give it a sharp pull—one that will cause a little pain, Instantly the cramp will depart, and the sufferer can return to bed assured it will not come on again that night. ‘Were good, vigorous walking more generally and regularly engaged in by both sexes the necessity for gymnasia 2nd other artificial substitutes would not be so apparent. One teaspoonful of baking soda mixed with one-half glass of water and applied with a soft cloth is good for pimples, fever blisters, burns and poison from ivy. Almond cream is excellent for whitening and softening the skin, but its effect will not be noticed until after weeks of constant and regular appli- cation. The juice of a lemon in hot water on awakening in the morning is an excellent liver corrective, and for stout women is said to be a flesh reducer. To treat frostbites rub part affected with ice, or immerse in ice water. Later saturgate cloth with warm water or alcohol and rub parts. To cure hysteria, wrap mustard plasters on hands, wrist, soles and palms, and allow patient to rest. To increase the growth of the eye- brows, rub pure olive oil in regularly each night. SCENTED LOCKS. Any woman may add a dainty and completed touch to the toilet by per- fuming the hair and may accomplish it with little or no expense. But of two - things she must be very sure, and they are that the perfume is very delicate and that conflicting scents are never- used. If one prefers to use a llquid, good results are obtained by spraying the hair, after it has been shampooed and while it is loosely hanging, with an atomizer. . Or the perfume may be rubbed into the palms of the hand or upon..the bristles of the hair brush and rubbed or brushed immediately over the head. But the best result is achieved by wearing “scent caps,” for they cover the hair and also protect it from un- welcomersnarls. -All that is needed is a circular cloth large enough to keep the hair free and allow circulation of air. It may be fitted to the head by an elastic, but not too tight a one, or Yhe circulation will be stopped. Silk ang silkolene are the best materials, for they are so sheer. An interlining is necessary, and this may be of the thinnest cashmere, for that holds the odor well. Between the inner and the outer caps sprinkie any kind of sachet you may desire. Orris root is sweet and lasting, but, never cloying. Thoroughly brush and comb the hair at night and braid it loosely. Then don the light cap one night a week. The hair will acquire a delicate scent. Tiny sachet pads sewed into one's hats take little time and trouble to ar- range, and they help the hair to_re- tain the sweetness which exposure to the air might otherwise destroy. days when every effort is being.made| dict where General Wood will be sent,’ to produce ships for war needs.

Teachers ang otifers who use much paste will appreciate a recipe for mak- ing it at home. Stir into a cup of flour enough cold erpamy consiste Pour over t] four cups of boiling water, stirring all the time, and cook five minutes. To this add one teaspoonful powdered alum, pour into a bowl and beat till cold. Then add one teaspoonful car- bollc acid and bnel teaspoonful or more of oil of cloves or wintergreen. Pour into glasses or jars and cover wiltui paraffin. This will keep indefi- nitely. DICTATES OF FASHION A crinkly shiny silk 4s used In deli- cate shades for separate skirts. Evening frocks are draped, but tal- lored frocks follow the straight line. Cotton foulards are among the four water to make it of by & bronchial cough, cornerstones in cotton dress goods. A black serge dress is smart when trimmed with white wooden beads. Young girls are wearing the round Buster Brown collar with the black tie. Fringed ends of ribbon droop over the brims of some very pretty sport hats. Satin, taffeta and grosgrain are uséd with serge to give a gown great cachet, Trimming a hat is a simple matter when a wreath of roses around the crown is fashionable; Plaid gingham collars are worn on the new serge and crepe frocks. Some are tied about the neck, handkerchief fashion. A new cape coat is black outside and white in and can be worn reversed or made of cloth for beach use. - The coat with round yoke in the back and straight full skirt falling therefrom is distinctly charming. Making the ‘walst of a plain mate- rial and the skirt of figured material may be a war time economy, but it is also smart. FLOWER-LADEN TOQUE. The flowered toque has been revived again this spring and is much worn by matronly women. Several seasons have elapsed since the small flower covered hat received any particular attention. N An especially effective model of this type was worn by a large and digni- fied woman with a full length broad- tail coat made with a shawl collar and deep cuffs of chinchilla. The close fitting toque which topped this handsome garment was covered with small white lilies. Each flower was placed individually and stood out from the others.- A piece of narrow biack velvet ribbon was worked in and out among the lilies around the front and sides and ended in a cluster of bows at the back. Violets frequently appear in these flower crowned hats. Many of the red flowers are also used. The flower named ragged sailor was attractively applied on one close fitting model set off with two slender up- standing wings. A fine mesh veil with a heavy velvet scroll completed the hat, which was worn by a young woman in a braid trimmed tailored suit of blue velour, = For renovating purposes floral cam- ouflage works miracles. Where the' crown is faded or sunburned, cover it with a thatched effect with flowers and foliage. Two or more kinds are used, according to“personal preference and available trimmings. Brims are likewise overlaid and smartly veiled with tulle and net. GINGHAM SILKS. Because good ginghams have gone up in price and because the cheaper inghams are not desirable, cross bar 4and palid veoiles are taking their places. The gingham silks, a mixture of silk and cotton, and in pattern like gingham, will no doubt become popu- lar as the season advances. LAUNDRY HINTS. If you scorch white goods when ironing rub the place at once with a cloth dipped in diluted peroxide, run the iron over it and your scorch will disappear. ‘When ironing, the strain on the feet can be relieved if a thick pad is made of old flannel garments sewed together. Stand on the pad and you will find yourself less tired. When pressing ‘a pleated skirt, pin the pleats to the ironing board. Lay a fold and pin it at the bottom, then hold the ‘wristband firmly and iron jfrom the bottom toward the top. When steaming velvet over the tea kettle, insert a small funnel over the |spout of the kettle. This will spread {the steam over a larger surface and the work may be accomplished muchsf easier. A solution of melted soap rubbed directly on the soiled area of the gar- ment is more efficaious than a great amount of bar soap. When dirt proves stobborn, instead of rubbing on more soap solution in the first ap- plication of hot suds, it needs fresh suds and then more soap solution. Rubbing or boiling in the dirty suds does not answer at this point. REMOVES SHINE. The shine that serge acquires from wear, particularly on skirts, is im- possible to remove entirely, but the shininess can be made less noticeable by gentle friction with fine sandpaper or emery; rub just enough to raise a little nap. Another method is to dampen the shining part well, put a damp cloth over it, jron quickly and firmly with! a hot iron and while the cloth is still} steaming pull it sharply away ang it will have taken some of the glaze with it. * | An application of hot vinegar and then a sponging with ammonia is another helpful method. Another treatment is this: Take a handful of | soap bark and put it in a cheesecloth bag; dip it in hot water and scrub the places that shine till a lather is formed; then sponge off with a cloth wet with clear water. A navy blue eerge will be much improved by dampening the whole with ordinary bluing water and then pressing while damp. INDIAN WAR BONNET.

STORIES OF THE WAR Picking The Star Air Fighter. (Correspondence of The Associated Press): How does the British air service pick out from its thousands of airmen, the particular men who are destined “fighters” at the front? This question was put to an official of the Air Ministry at London by The Associated Press correspondeit in an interview. Here is his answer: “The pilot who is destined to fly the single-seater machines of the Air Force is ‘discovered’ almost as soon as he has been_ baptized in the air. “To begin with, he must have passed certain physical tests with a hundred percent. result. Many wise men, doc- tors and organizers, sit in conclave over these tests. They define certain factors that go to make up a ‘perfect airman,—perfect sight, age 24 or its equivalent in physical make-up, a total abstainer, good hands, quick brain, keenness, confidence. It is odd how much emphasis is placed on a man’s hands by the examiners, who between flying a scout and an ordinary machine as there is between riding a thoroughbred and a cart-horse. “Some men show their destiny from the first moment of training. Men like Ball and Bishop promise well right from the start; they revel in finding new stunts and tricks of their own, long before their heavier-handed brethren begin to attempt the things that are safe on all modern machines. “Other men begin slowly, and find themseives through sheer pluck and hard work. Having gone over the Channel to pilot a placid artilltry observation or photographic machine, they give a good account of themselves in the first scrap they get mixed up seem to enjoy, fights. An observer in his official report cagually remarks that Pilot So-and-So is ‘always want- ing to tackle the Huns instead of taking photographs or ranging guns,’ and straightway his commanding offi- cer sends the trouble-hunter off to headquarters with a recommendation which lands him in a special post- graduate school or aerial gunnery. for training in what the airmen call ‘fire- eating.” “Here he meets the men—aces they fighting in single-seaters, and who are resting or have been sent back for use as instructors. The public knows little about these post-graduate schools for voung eagles; the work is in- tensive and thorough; the. science of air-fighting is_taught by stages up to a degree of perfection almost un- believable. “To the airman who fights, such things as tactics and deflection, ranges and sights, must come by in- stinct. The good fighting man, it is generally believed, is born, not made. He must have the quick brain that will direct the hands with the judg- ment of experience. He must have keenness, and also Iuck. He must love ‘the game,’ although it is not necessary that he should have been a sportsman, or a yachtsman or a racing motorist in his pre-war days. “It is the general opinion among pilots that a scout fighter who has completed a month on the western front has passed thrcugh his probation and will be good for a long time unless bad luck or the laws of chance bring him down.” WAR GARDEN PRIMER can buy: Obtain large chicken feathers and sew on a strip of cloth just long enough to go around the head.

In HOW ABOUT SOME CELERY? No table is complete without an oc- ¢asional dish of celery, and it is a very useful plant for it can be served fresh, cut up and put into lettuce and other salads, or made into delicious soups, says today's bulletin from the National War Garden Commiission.

In the upper South it may be grown in spring and fall. Farther north it is mostly a full sea- son crop, depending upon the variety and time of plantinz. If plants for early spring setting are not available the seeds should be planted in seed boxes at once and kept growing as rapidly as possible, so they will soon be ready for set- ting in the garden. Set them six inches apart in the row, and have the rows 18 inches or more apart for hand cultivation and three feet for horse cultivation. For small gardens the best way to ground very rich and set the plants six inches apart each way, making the bed as wide and long as desired. The plants then shade and blanch each other, ex- cept the outside ones, around which boards must be set. This method pro- duces a good crop on & small space if the ground is rich, with plenty of moisture. Celery must have plenty of ghallow cultivation so as to make a quick, tender growth. In the warmer sec- tions the spring crop must be grown and blanched before hot weather be- gins. When the plants are nearly grown draw three or four inches of earth up around them and a couple of weeks before the plants are to be used blanch by use of boards set edgewise along each side of the row, and hold them in place with stakes or earth on the outside. Earthshould not be used alone to blanch the plants in hot weather. MEN WHO CAME BACK In a Record Brigade Raid. By Sergt. R. N. T. Fisher. Canadian, Engineers, 2nd Division. ‘We held the record in January, 1917, for a brigade raid until a bri- gade of a London-Scottish regiment captured one hundred nine prisoners at the Ypres salient two weeks in ad- vance. E This record breaker near Lenz was carefully planned weeks in advance. We had rchearsed the stunt in the trenches. exact duplicates of the Ger- mans’ which we had dug behind our lines. We even prepared return tren- ches as the raiders’ trip back is al- w voting their whole attention to mow- ing them down. This was done by boring ~with a gasoline engine a four-inch hole, about five feet below the level of the ground, from our front 75 yards toward the German front line, which lay about 100 yards away. Throught this opening were thrust three-foot length of aminol tubes filled with aminol, a high explosive. A fuse was attached and everything was ready to explode the tubes at the proper moment, thus improvising a return trench. Tape lines on either side of the ‘Aminol tubes were laid the night before to guide the raiders away from the danger zone. 7 For twenty-four hours before the reid the Canadian artillery had play- ed continuously on the barbed wire entanglements practically wrecking them. At six-thirty word was given and the 19th and 20th Canadian Bat- talions of Light Infantry, and the six- teen engineers of the 2nd Division, went over the top. Owing to our intense fire the Ger- mans were in their dugouts. We would stop at the mouth of a dug- out, call upon the enemy to ‘come out and surrender. If they refused or showed fight, we did not stop to argue, but heaved a tube of aminol into the hole and beat it to the next dugout. Each man went over with a tube of aminol slung over his shoul- der. If a bullet or piece of shrapnel happened to hit the tube, he never knew what happened to him. This was carried out along a front between 200 and yards wide. We brought back 101 prisoners, all our own dead and wounded, two machine guns and other plunder. We must have killed three times as many as we_took prisoners. Something went wrong with our 75-yard tube of aminol and it failed to explode, so we did not have the shelter of the return trench. But we returned with comparatively few cas- ualties notwithstanding. The ' Imperial Munitions Board will grant the 10 per cent. increase of wages in the British Columbia ship- yards recommended by the Provincial Commission. 2 y e.
