There can be no surprise in the an- founcement to the effect thdt the na- tional assembly of Germany has voted in favor of signing the treaty. That is what has been anticipated would be the outecome and that is of course the most sensible thing Germany could do. Even though there are terms of the treaty that might be regarded as hard it has been apparent that there has been a strong sentiment in certain circles at t in favor of signing the docu- ment. That therc were th in the former cabinet who could not bring themselves to take this view did not change the situation, and the shift in the makeup of the. cabinet indicates that they had taken a position which they could not maintain. There were only iwo things for Ger- many to do. Either it must accept the treaty as presented and by so doing make the bestof the provisions, or else it could refuse to sign and thereby in- crease the penalty that would have to be paid. It was fully understood that if Germany did not agree to do as re- quired it would be made to, and it could not be overlooked that if it was made to, it would have to bear an ad- ditional burden. Thus the chance to act for its own good has been recog- nized in spite of those who have heen endeavoring to revive old time prin- ciples and put forth a defiant front. to But with Germany agreeing to sign it should proceed not only to submit to the terms of the treaty but it should carry out the requirements in good faith for it cannot fail to under- stand that by so doing it will help its own case just to much, ROOT'S SUGGESTIONS. As he made clear some time ago Elihu Root, formerly secretary of statg and United States senator, still helieves that there are features of the treaty that are not ‘what they should be since they are against the and safety of this country, there is in the covenant “a great { dealof very high value which the world peace rests puss ought not to lose.” He approves of the idea of a separate consideration of the peace terms and the covenant of the league of r ns, but he like- wise points out that conditions are ich in Iurope and throughout the world that there ought to be prompt action, so if they must be consi ered together it is his belief that there should be certain reservations noted that will overcome the defects. He would thus approve the treaty with three reservations. The first would be the elimination of article ten nsofar as it affects the United States. This a guarantees the members of the e to maintain the terri- torial *grity and politigal independ- ence of all the nations of the world admitted to the covenant. Secondly he would reserve the absolute and un- qualified right of the United States to hdraw from the league on “two notice and as the third reserva- tion he would provide for the clear and unmistakeable protection of the Monroe doctrine and the sovercignty of ‘tates over purely he the 5 United American questions. This is a recommendation that will Woubtless get much consideration in the senate sifce it cannot fail to ap- peal to those who have manifested ay opposition to a separation of the peace térms and the | ue. It is in keep- with what h been previously done in overcoming treaty defects in the past by m of reservations. MEETING PLACE OF CONGRESS. The sugsg n has been made that fnasmuch as it is necessary to have a gassion of congress during the sum- mer months there ought to be a sum- mer capital where the congressmen ecan carry on their deliberations in tomfort and not be required to sut mit to the swe ington It has of course been the custom to refer to the summer home of the . president as the summer capital when "‘congress was not in session and of course we have scen the white house placed on wheels and sent to Europe for a period of over s we have not as yet experienced the interesting situation of having con- gress gather anywhere but in Wash- ington since that became the national capital. The idea of shifting the meeting place comes from California and the Californian is anxious of course that the summer session of congress should be held in that state, but what could we expect next January or Feb- ruary, when it gets pretty cold in ‘Washington, other than that some res- Ident of Klorida or some other south- ““ern stale would advocate the moving Itering heat of Wash- s but| of congress down where it was more comfortable and overcoats would not be required, A movable congress would be a great thing for the mem- bers. They would have a great chance to see the country and gather in the interesting mileage fees, but even {f the constitution would permit the shifting around there is pretty good reason to believe that precedent will settle the matter necessary. In fact there is no reason to believe that the Californian takes his own suggestion seriously. There's no chance of getting congress on wheels. e SINKING THE GERMAN SHIPS, Ever since the German naval vessels were taken over by the allies in ac- cord with ene of the provisions of the armistice terms, there has been much said regarding what would be done with the warships. There have heen strong advocates of taking the ships out in midocean and sending them to the bottom with fitting ceremony, but there have been those among the al- lies who have just as strongly opposed any such course, which could not be looked upon otherwise than an abso- lute waste of material, even, if the ships could not be regarded as an eco- nomical addition to any navy of the allied governments. The opposi- tion w such that no decision had been reached as to what was going to be done, though the advocacy of agree- ing on some plan of distribution, or of junking them after removing the arm- ament had been quite generally and freely made. But while the allies were trying to reach a decision the Germans have apparently taken the matt out of their hands, for by a clever and well arranged scheme those who were left in charge of the ships have opened the seacocks and sent the vessels or the greater part of them o the bottom. This of course dispeses of them, un- less it is possible to salvage them, and eliminates one of the difficult ques- tions before the ailies. Many of the ips are at the bottom where it | been desired to send them but with them have gone the guns and other material that would have been moved according to the British plan There can be no question but what the Germans have outwitted the Brit- sh in th matter but it calls for a thorough investigation and { the punishment of those who are re- | sponsible. From the very fact that the German crews were left in complete control of the vessels indicates neg- ligence and just what has been done might well have been anticipated. res i OUR LOANS TO ALLIES. Perhaps was to be expected in view of the huge indebtedness that is {faced by the nations of Europe that the suggestion should be made that this country ought not to collect the loans that it has made to the nations with which it has been associated, but whether the idea comes as a surprise or not it is not likely that it will a responsive chord in this countr; This country didn’'t go into the war for the purpose of conquest. It didn't enter it with the idea that it would collect a great big indemn It was moved to do whe and humanity and it went w down deep into its pocket to see that what was needed was provided. And it didn't confine itself to loaning allies and through its dolla getting the benefit of the fighting which it was able to encourage, but it turned itself into a great war ind: trial plant and gave of its best in ev erything even to its young manhood to see that the principles for which it stands were victorious. It m be true th less American lives were lost in the struggle than were lost by other countries that were in the fighting much longer but while the Americans fought they fought va- liantly and successfully and unques tionably served to turn the tide of bat- tle, and while its men were giving up th financial assistance that it extended was of untold benefit in breaking down the enemy, and that help was not given without sacrifice, the or taxation much heavier than any other country experienced. We have displayed our magnani- mous spir ing humani for oppressed and suffer- in many ways but the idea of cancelling the foreign loans can hardly be entertained. In view of the benefits from them those who have receiv thought to d them should give little such a suggestion. EDITORIAL NOTES. Turkey might just as well realize that when it went into the war it lost head, tailfeathers and all. The man on the corner ing very 1 bition that attracts many From the way in which coffee prices are going up it is plainly indicated that new altitude records will be es- tablished. Villa has had morc than one perience in enticing the Americans in- to Mexico and seeing them turn around and go right out again. The great trouble with most of the strikers is that they go off at a tan- gent and are not susceptible to the appeals of reason and common sense. From the fact that an army is to be raised for Fiume it doesn't look as if peace was going to be a matter of | choice along that part of the Adriatic. Probably one thing that Germa doesn’t like regarding the require- ments for joining the league of n tions is that it will be required to be- have. There are many who still hope that |German doesw't sign so that that ycountry can be taught by the allied armies the lesson that it seems likely {to escape. | There is no denying the responsibi i ity that rests upon those agitators who are stirring up the foreign ele- {ment in the country to strikes and disorders. Aviator Alcock is said to be plan- ning a 'visit to the United States. He will get a warmer Hawker would whether he flies or sails over. It is rather hard to have to burn wheatflelds in the middle west to beat the army worm, when it would be so much more preferable to feed the grain to the hogs.

Athletic training does not get rid of “fat,” but of the excess water in the tissues of the body. The revulsion from fat in hot weath- er is because the body requires less heat and therefore less “fuel.” Taking some ot the pictures down as hot weather approaches will help to malke the house look cooler. When packing a trunk for traveling have a case of different cloth for each kind of garment. A table of weights and measures, typewritten and framed under glass, should be hung in every kitchen. A delicious filling for a spong roll is a cream paste of mashed almonds and honey. A child’'s 10 cent washboard is a convenience in the bathroom for wash- ing out small articles. An excellent crust to use for a meat pie is the ordinary baking powder bis- cuit crust. 5 A convenient way to melt chocolate is to put it into a glass jar and stand | it in hot water. | The bones of a roast fowl and bits of left-over flesh are full of possibili- ties for the next meal. Immediately upon finishing the cook- ing take all draughts off the kitchen range and save fuel. If the candle is too large for the can- dlestick dip it into warm water until it is melted to the proper size. | Delicious extract of orange or lemon |is made by paring the rinds very thin {and putting them into a bottle of alcohol. Apples, dried prunes and raisins are among the cheapest fruits. NOVEL THRIFT. One housewife says that she has al- -ved in following recipes ex- and one matter that has often the amount of material icking to the mixing and that is left preparing dishes. " For instance, she| makes her own salad dressing, and| | until she discovered the following kind she had to think of some e: to remove all of the ¢ {double boiler. This is | saves every bit of dr makes in the double bo: = | She secures what is known to bicycle | suppiy nous a hand pump. With | the aiq of this small pump she is able to concentrate all the dressing at one point after she has emptied the con- ssing from the how’ she no g that she tents of the 'double boiler into the| bowl. The jet ofair that issues from the nozzel drives the dressifg that sticks to the sides of the boiler to a point where it can be easily recovered with “a spoon, and what h hereto- fore been a loss now makes dressing for three slices of tomatoes. WASHING ENAMEL. All dirty marks on white enamel should be rubbed with a piece of flan- nel moistened with methylated spirit. Then wash the enamel with warm soapy water, dry and rub with a fian- nel sprinkled with whiting. Polishing with a_dry duster completes the pro- ce White enamel furniture treated in this way from time to time retains its brightness for a long period. HEALTH AND BEAUTY The child’s diet should be made tistying as well as nourishing, so tisfying that the child will not crave | sugar or any other food that it ought not to have. In removing wrinkles the face should first be thoroughly cleaned and the massage be carried out in a systematic manner. Begin with the forehead. | Stroke with the two thumbs over the forehead, starting near the eyebrows, and work out toward the roots of the | hair. In the second movement one hand is used to stretch the part work- ed upon, while deep friction is made with the tips of the fingers of the other | hana | When motoring or playing golf you ! should dress the hair loosely, that it may have the benefit of the airing. Let the hair hang loosely in the sun for a few minutes ea if possible. This treatment naturally bleaches the hair slightly. The wholesome effect upon it of the sun more than compe the bieach. For a blonde thi: ment is especially efiective it main- tains the fairness of the hair as noth- iing else will. { Care of one’s person is actually one jof the little points of good dressing. Well kept hair, complexion teeth and finger nails are expected, of course, of jany well groomed woman. Plenty of hair-pins in several sizes are essential to a bhecoming as well as a neat coif- fure, and waying or curling the hair is a popular style, because it disposes so prettily of untidy wisps about the neck, ears and temples. A little reg- ular daily care of the teeth, complexx- ion and finger nails is not a great deal of trouble and by keeping one young and fresh looking on all occasions is worth ten times as much as the spas- modic visit to the bheauty parlor. i EMBROIDERED VESTEES. | Waistcoats have gained an even greater vogue than was predicted for them in the early spring. The reason that they persist in really good style in spite of tht fact that they are ‘found in most of the cheap ready made suits is because they can be made as expensive and distinctive as their | wearer wishes. Some of the smartest are made in the newest weave of silk | | jersey, which is very heavy. This embroidercd at the neck and across | the lower edge with colored silks or | wools in a conventional design. Em- ! | broidered silk is sold by the vard for| | waist-coats from $8 a yard up. It may be had in a narrow width for a | slightly: smaller sum, but as two strips @ the waistcoat the expense is even| greater. The woman who is nimble | fingered can reproduce this sort of | embroidery herself. It is worked on | | heavy silk, in an allover pattern, with | colored silk threads and with the occa- | sional introduction of gold or silver | threads to point the design. | R | FLOOR AND WALLS, | The choice of floor covering is af- ted by so many conditions that it sy to lay down and def it | guides.

Satin and crepe de chine in brown shades are a fashionable combination. Overblouses are at the height of their popularity. A new collar is called the stole and made of net. Monkey fur appears as a fringe on summer coats. » The Louis XVI influence in consume | / WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN | placed directly in the boiler the stain is increasing. The revival of the lingerie frock is an assured thing. Dark bhue and currant color combine most affectively. Practically all suits are made on simple straight lines. Evening turbans many times hide every particle of hair. Berthas and fichus are worn with the tightly fitted waist. The dance frock is not complete just ! now without fringe. | A smart suit, dark in color, has col- lar and cuffs of krimmer. Black net gowns trimmed with blue ribbon and pink roses are very French in character. YOUR HOUSEDRESSES. Start the summer with enough housedresses. To be sure cottons are high priced.. but if ,you make them Yyourself or buy them at a store where the prices are not exorbitant, the cost should not be prohibitive. If you buy them a size large than your regular them ready made to make sure to get sine. They are sure to shrink and it is almost never that the manufacturer shrinks the materials before the dresses are cut out. If you make your own then you have the advantage in being able to shrink it well beforehand. Even then you must remember that the goods will probably shrink a little more in the third and fourth washing so do not make them a bit scrimpy, but add a little for this later shrink- age. There is one great advantage in the all white wash dress and that is that it can be boiled and dried in the sun without fear of losing color. How many dresses have you had to dis- card because they have faded? You know what an unbecoming yellow green becomes toward the end of the season, how brownish the most at- violet and blue turns gray turns browy. White cot- erials dried in the sun and hecome the showier for fre- quent washings. On the other hand white does show the least spot very soon, and to the housewife who has to pay for her laundry work by the piece there is 1y a disadvantage in this. Often e housedress may be kept for days simply be removing a several single spot or streak as it comes. This can be done with a little warm water and soap applied with a cloth.

PLEATED SKIRT AGAIN. The return of pleated skirts is wel- come news. There is nothing more hecoming or more useful, and nothing | v made. Of course the act- al pleating must be done by profes- onal hands, but then it is only nec- essary to run up the skirt at the back and to choose a suitable coat or tunic to accompany it. The latest thing is the coat of a different material from the sk often of a different color.

Over in France they have made a close friend of it, and it must be confessed that the little Parisiennes and the pretty young| aciresses who throng the Riviera look charming in their extraordinarily short, tight skirts, their immaculate laced boots and their fur trimmed coats. But now skirts are creeping down inch by inch. Just above the ankles is the correct length at the present moment. HASHED BROWN. Into a hot frying pan pour the de- sired amount of diced raw potatoes, finely cut. Pack well together and generously season. Allow to fry until quite brown, keeping the dice well packed together, turn and brown on the other side and serve on a large | platter with the brown side up. If fried in becon or salt pork fat {hese are good and especially attractive if carefully watched. CAREFUL DUSTING. Cover your feather duster with a loose cheesecloth bag. This allows the feathers to reach all crevices, catches catches the dust and prevents any marring or scratching of furniture. EGG STAINS. Egg stained table linen should be soaked in cold water until almost ali traces of the stain are removed. If will set and it will be almost impes- sible to remove it. CONCERNING WOMEN. Detroit has twenty-five women mail carriers. Mount Dora, Fla.,, has a woman for town clerk. England has nearly 1,000,000 wom- | en clerks. Women in France are prohibited from buying tobacco.

The Trinidad asphalt lake Is about 114 acres in diameter and this entire mass is in slow, almost imperceptible motion, which is the extreme difficulty in making soundings, and this motion bends and breaks the sounding appar- atus, The latest borings were made in the center of the lake by sinking a two- inch pipe. The motion of the asphalt was found to exist as deep as one hundred feet and at a depth between twenty-five and fifty feet the motion seemed to be reversed. The core re- moved from the recent borings shows the asphait to be of uniform charac- ter throughout. It is stated that another effort will soon be made, with special apparatus, to find the bottom of this great as- phalt deposit.
