The Falkland islands are Brit- igh property and they have been so sgnce the year 1771 when Spain yielded the islands to Great Britain by con- vention. Along in 1820 the republic of Buenos Aires set up a claim to the islands because England had not col- oniged them, but they later withdrew, g that it does not appear that the is- lands ever were a part of Argentina apd a petition to bring about their re- The kaiser likes to call the Ameri- cans “lightning trained Yankees" but he also coming to realize that they strike quick, sharp and deadly. There is one thing certain, the death of the sultan of Turkey will not call forth any expressions of condolence from the Armenians and Syrians. Here and there the allies are tak- ing bites out of the German lins, all of which may be in the way of prepa- ration for bigger moves yet to come. Lenine and Trotzky are at last wak- ing up to the fact that Russia needs a large army under proper discipline. What great things experience accom- plishes? Matters appear to be coming to a head in Russia in several locallties and it is to be hoped that the allied na- tions will recognize the importance of throwingz their assistance where it will do the most good. ‘When Governor Holcomb declares that if he had his way all enemy aliens would be sent out of the coun- try within 24 hours, he will have no trouble finding people who agree with him.

One experienced housewife said that the lavenders and browns had for her proved the most satisfactory shades. This js because of the neutral charac- ter| of these colors, and the fact that they combine well with whatever might be the original shade of the ar- ticle dyed.

A little cold cream or oil pressed into the base of the nail under the flesh strengthens it, and incidentally im- parts. a healthy appearance and luster. GARDEN APRON. The neeessity of some places to put seeds when making garden gives one this idea. Tse any desired material for an apron with a nlain hib to pin on dress. Make a large pocket, reaching half- way up the apron and from one side to the other. Sew this into various sized pockets. An anron made of heavy cotton cloth will last for vears anq be greatly appreciated Dby the user. CLEARS THE HEAD. Many colds in the head are relieved particularly that heavy, dull feeling, when breathing through the nose is impossible, by emploving as a throat and nasal douche half a teaspoonful of baking soda to a glass of warm water, Fill the passages with as much of the liguid as possibl this will clear the passages of obstruction and in a little while breathing through the nose is possible. CREATING SPACE. ‘By creating legitimate places for possessions that otherwise would be out of place one can gain an effect of spaciousness and order, and give even small city quarters the capacity to hold a great deal without seeming crowded.

Long ribbon streamefs are seen even on turbans. Velvet and organdy meke a fash- ionable combination. Leghorn is frequently trimmed with black velvet. There are blduses of velvet trimmed with organdy. 5 You are out of fashion if you have not a flower hat. Foulard in large poika dot design is very fashionable. A natural style of cape for sports wear is of natural linen. Chenile dotted vellings have taken a new lease of 1. Collars in plain filet crochet, without design, are very smart.

Either the bride to be or the week- end hostess will appreciate half a idozen Au gratin dishes or white, heat proof’ china with silver plated frames, the set packed in a satin lined box. There are so many ways of using au gratin dishes anq served in this al- luring way many a leftover becomes a dainty de luxe, or in other words, a delicious entree fit for a special course at a formal luncheon. Creamed salmon or any creamed fish, macaroni and cheese, oysters scalloped with cracker crumbs, welsh rerebit, sweetbread and mushrooms, chopped veal in bechamel sauce—doz- ens of things can be served economi- eally in the pretty little au gratin | dishes which make a trifle seem a lot, when the entree iz brought in as a separate course .between hot beulllon and salad courses, The heat proof china reeceptacles can be set in the cven without in- jury and one's entree course may be prepared early in the morning and popped into the oven just before the luncheon guests arrive. MOTHS IN UPHOLSTERY. Mothe do not like benzine or gasoline and wiil avoid co g into contact with them. So a w thing to do is to spray your ubholstered furniture with either, using a smal atomizer. If the color has already been removed by the salt it is impossible to bring it back and redying is the o soiu~ on. You cannot restore the color by ther zmmonia cr chloroform.

Hickory is one of the hottest woods you ean burn. Any cold vegetable may be used for a vegetable salad. Don't throw away shade curtains be- cause the lower part is faded or soiled. In these days of high prices and in- ferior goods, it pays to turn them. Remove the tacks, which fasten the curtain to the rollet, and hem this end on the machine. Then cut off the ori- ginal hem-and tack this end to the roller. If the spring does not work well, take the curtain down and roll it up tight in one hand. Then put it up and pull down to full Jength. Re- peat this process once more and it will wind the spring just right. TRAY BREAKFASTS, 3 Hostesses of today are sending up tray breakfasts to their guests.rather than expecting them to come down into the dining room for breakfast, and, even in households where the people are in rather moderate circumstances there are likely to be one or two in- dividpal breakfast sets. These sets may be of the most fragile Dresden china or they may be of porcelain with an old fashioned design of flowers. Each set consists of a small coffee pot, sugar bowl, cream and Hot water pots, a covered dish, cereal bowl, plate, butter plate, egg cup, cup and saucer and salt shaker. q It is the fad just now to have a set of linen for each breakfast set. For instance, if the set is Dresden, there are a cloth for the tray, a tiny cover for the toast, a cozy for the egs and a napkin, buttonholed in pink or blue. with Dresden flowers embroidered in the corners. If it is a willowware set, the linen is coarser .and has a blue picoted edge and a pair of doves out- lined in the corner. The breakfast might consist of a grepefruit or a cocktail glass or orange juice, a little cereal, an egz, some toast or a roll, & small jar of jam, and a pot of coffee. Many hostesses are buying these tiny jars and filling them \men they make their jam for just this thing. CLEAN BED SPRINGS.

We heartilv recommend this plan to any who are not already following it For the housekeepers who are adont- ing a no-wheat programme, and for those who are cutting down their al- lowance, the following recipes have been worked out in the experiment kitchens of the food administration. Shortcake, with plenty of fruit, es- pecially if served with cream, is a very hearty dish and needs only a light first course to make a complete meal A vegetahle or egg salad and a glass of milk is an excellent combination with shortcake. . Here are some wheatless shortcak recipes, tried and tested: Barley 8hortcake: One cup liquid, four to six tablespoons fat, one table- spoon sugar, one teaspoon salt, six teaspoons baking powder and four cups barley. Corn Flour Shortcake: One cup of liqnid, six to eight tablespoons fat, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon lsalt, a'x teasnoons baking powder, two and two-thirds corn flour. e Flour Shortcake: Follow direc- tions for corn flour. using two and one- quarter cups rice flour instead of corn flour. Barley Corn Shortcake: One cup of liquid, six tablespoons fat, one table- one teaspoon salt, six tea- spoons baking powder, two cups bar- ley flour and one-and one-third cups corn flour. Barley Oats Shortcake: Follow di- rections for barley corn flour, using one and one-half cups rolled oats ground in food chopper instead of the corn flour. Corn Oats Shortcake: One eup liquid. four tablespoons fat, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon salt, six table- spoons baking powder, one and one- third cups corn flour, one and one- half cups ground rol'ed oats. For individual servings, place dough on slightly floured board, pat to three- auarters inch thickness and cut as for biscuit. If a large shorteake is want- ed, place dough in well greaged bis- cuit tin and pat to des’red thickness. These shortcakes are light and ten- dér. An egg added to rice or corn flour akes a softer dough. The slightly acid taste of barley may be overcome with the necessities of the toilet.

Life wil] hold a good deal of “base” and “billets” for him even in France. This time spent far behind the lines he will find irksome or pleasant, ac- cording to whether his temperament is eager and enterprising or the re- verse. For the great majority,” how- ever, billets and base camps are very pleasant. The food is extellent, work is comparatively light and amusements are plentiful. The Associated Press correspondent paid a visit the other day to a huge artillery base camp, situated on the French coast near some famous bath- ing beaches and within easy reach of a_big city. Within the camp, which also serves for a large number of en- gineers and some special infantry units are several theatres, the canteens of the British Expeditionary Force, the lounge rooms and huts of the Young Men's Christiah Association and various “camp institutes” and athletic grounds. Here the soldier can have a fairly comfortable and enjoyable va- cation. Most of the men enjoy the varied opportunities for amusement to the full. Occasionally one meets a few men, probably just over from England, who are impatient at every day's de- lay in moving forward to the “busi- ness end of the line.” The sergeant- major soothes them with wise words: “Don’t worry, boys” he says, “there’s going to be lots of fighting in this war, enough for all of you and a little to spare.” It is the custom at this base. so far as artillery officers are concerned, to distinguish between those who have not yet been up to the firing line and those who have and their “baptism.” The former have a fairly complete pro- gramme of daily drills and are kept occupied also with lectures and educa- tional courses. The veterans are permitted to fore- | g0 these trials to a large extent. They have little to do but amuse themselves with sports theatres, operas and the beach, subject only to the stipulation that they must alwavs be prepared to move off at a few hours’ notice. ‘Throughout the army in the ordinary course of things, the individual soidier gets a rest period at the base evry two or three months.
