CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JULY 3d, 1320 INDEPENDENCE DAY. +.As Independence day rolls' around year after year, it is a cause for keen satisfaction that there is no evidence g a disposition to forget or overlook 2he great act of our forefathers in tak- ®e the initial &teps which not only showed due re slon ‘they had be Which laid the foundation for the estab- lishment of this great nation. The action which marked the begin- ning of our independence as a nation is bound to go ringing down the ag as a duty fully recognized, courageously undertaken and nobly discharged. There can be no relaxaiion in the enthusiastic the succeeding anniversaries roll d. Because it happened long ago and we of today knew none of the con- sditions which it”éorrected doesn’t mean that we can or should be ome bit less ‘Gevoted to the welfare Of our country or in any degree forgetful of what *great services were performed and sacrifices made for our benefit. % - The Declaration of Independence was Wened with due regard for what' such #n anmnouncement ‘'meant. There was no flinching, there was no effort to dodge the issue. There was need of a nation where justice and liberty prevail- ed for all It required a struggle to get it but those who recognized thi need were prepared to make it and 4l 80 at tremendous cost. Let us therefore have due regard for Independence day. Let us celebrate it by teaching and keeping alive the les- son of that great loyal and ' patriotic demonstration which ended that period ,of tyranny and established the land of .the frée and the home of the brave. Wisdom and sanity guided the action of our forefathers in that momentous unfertaking and they shonld mnot be overiooked nearly a century and a haif afterwards in the celebration of that - ~event.

It was te be noted that the game conmtrol that had prevailed from the outsst was mani- fested in this connection and that with few exceptions it managed to have its way. It was in connection with the treaty it was necessary to do some careful work, It has been the demand of the president * that the document ns brought from abroad should be ratified without change. That was the contention in the senate and that was the grounds upon which he insisted it should go before the people. Even as there were demo- crats in the senate who opposed ratifica- tion without reservations there Were those who were against such & stand in the party platform. Even as others who | have given the question close study have seen the neessity of protecting the in- terests of_ this country there were those who weregqunwilling to declare for an out and out ratification without qualify- ing it by “We do not oppose reservations which would make clearer or more specific our obligations to the assoclated natlons.” card the Lodge reservations. It of course doesn’t approve them but it leaves the way open for ratification with reservgtions wWhether they are regarded as interpretive or protective. What is wanted is the preservation of the essen- tial integrity of the covenant and it ap- pears that just such a qualification re- garding reservations as the reservation- ists desired has been secured. It is a declaration for other than the document as it came from Paris. With this plank in the platform it became a contest over reservations and not between the treaty as submitted and the document with the proposed reser- vations, The wind thus se to be taken out of the sails of the very im- portant matter that the president wished submitted to the people. The clear cut issue has been eliminated. SERVING THE CHILDREN. For the season mow on there will be practically a doubling of the playgrounds under the “direction of the Parks .and Playgrounds association ¢f New York city. To the 17 grounds which were previously maintained there are to be 2dded 16 more, three of which are to be exclusively for Negro boys and girls. Such an fncrease at ome jump may seem large but New York is big and its demands are many and there is no pos- sibility that it will be over-served through such play facilities, but rather must it be seriously questiored Whether this addition will be able to take care of the requirements of the large city, that {here are many provisions of the|with its many children and the -limited automobile lzws that ars constantly be-|provisions made for their playtime. g violated.

Regardless of the size of a city there 1s need of furnishing. proper places where children can gather, be directed in ‘their play and enjoy the contests and games which are necessary for their development, and the larger the com- munity the greater the need of seeing that the children are not forced to seek the streets with their constant dangers for such daily pleasures as they are bound to try to get when nothing in the way of plagrounds are established and malntafned for their use, The excellent results of the efforts along this line undertaken in a eity of this size plainly demonstrate the good accomplished and emphasize the fact that the larger the city the greater the problem of looking out for the children and therefore the greater the need for such service.

Make it of the dress variety of linen. Cut you doilles an inch adl a halt larger on every side than you desire the doilies to be when finished. ¥ou can make them either square or oblung. Some think the oblong doilies are mure distinctive than the square ones. After cutting the doilies, draw threads jof the linen until you have a f:inge the depth you desire on all sides.

ORIENTAL RUGS In these times when evervthing costs more than it jt used to, you can ecomo- mize in one way by washing your Ori- ental rugs at home instead of seniing them out to a prefessional cieanes.

Rompers or bloomer dresses made of good quality unbleached cotton cloth and trimmed with colored braid, smocked with color or embroidered, are very pretty and stylish looking as well as most prac- tical. There is no danger of fading and the soiled places can be rubbed as much as necessary with soap without danger of running any color, as is ant to be the case with most colored materials at pres- ent. Theee do not show the grime as white materials and look well even when nearly ‘worn out. BLEACH FOR LINENS. Here is an exgellent bleach which was used a hundred years ago, when house- wives treasured linens that were spun and woven from flax on the home farm: One pound of washing soda, one-half pound of chloride of lime, one gallon of water. Dis- solve théroughly and keep in a large glass bottle. When you want to remove a stain place a little of the bleach ina shallow dish and press down the stained spot in the bleach. Soak it for five minutes and immediately rinse the linen well in clear cold water. If the stain does not come out, the process may.be repeated, but never soak the linen very long at a time. A BULLETIN BOARD. A discarded window shade was painted black and hung in the kitchen for a bul- letin board. It announced things of im- portance to the family, messages left by mother when she went out, things to do and things to buy. A piece of chalk at- tached to a string hangs conveniently near. This has proven more satisfactory than a paper and pencil memorandum. SAFE PLACE FOR BABY. Creeping babies are apt to be very troublesome. Not only do they keep themselves very untidy bt they fall into mischief as well. One mother took a packing case 24x37x24 inches deep, put some castors on it that she might easily push it about nad put baby into it. He was contented for hours with his play- things, learned to stand up quickly and when he was in it there was no danger. The high sides protected him from the draught and the hottom of the box made it so much warmer. One wonld feel well paid for the little expense to try it.

Caught in the swirl of the minor war flurries that disturb Europe are the re- mote Aland Island, where Swedes and Finns are clashing in a manner suggestive of the erstwhile dispute between Jugo- Slays and the Italians along the Adraitie, acording td newspaper dispatches. The Natlonal Geographic Society has issued, from its Washlngton head quarters, the following bulletin on the Aland Islands. “For more than 200 years the Aland Islands, which are situated l{ke a cork in the wide mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia, have been a sort of Alsace-Lorraine que: tions between the Swedes and the Rus- sians. After having passed back and forth several times, they were finally ceded to Russia ®n 1803. During the relgn of Nicholas I they were sirongly fortified, a move most Swden because the island occupy a strong strategic position with respect to Stock- holm, the Swedish capital, than 100 miles to the squthwest from Bomarsund, the chief fortification of the islands. “Thee fortifications were short-lived. In 1854, during the Crimean war, a Franco- British fleet under Sir Charles Napier and Baraguay d'Hilliers destroyed the works and after that time the islands were left unfortified in accordance Wwith an interpational agrement. “The Aland group Wwhich is separated from the Swedish mainlaind by Aland Bay (Alapd Haf) 'and from the Finnish mainland by, Skiftet Sound. is composed of some 300 islands and rocky isiets, the total area of which is not more than 550 miles square miles. The larzest is- land, Aland, 2 name signifylng ‘land of streams,’ is almost as large as all the others combined, having an area of 247 miles, about twice the size of Martha's Vineyard. “Cattle raising and fishing are the chief occupations of the 25.000 people who live on the islands. Some cereals (barley and oats) are grown on the thin s0il, and there are a few forests of birch, spruce and fir. “Finnish troops are reported to be marching through the streets of Marie- ham. This attractive little bathing re- sort is the chief town of the islands, having a populatien of 1,400. In times of peace a daily steamer service I8 maintained between this port and Abo, the oldest and historiaclly the most in- teresting city in Finland. The voyage from Abo to Marieham takes about ten hours. “It was in the waters adjacent to the Aland Tsuands that Peter the Great's navy won its first important vietory, de- feating the Swedes in 1717 “Only about 90 of the 300 islands are Why not save the Middleman's profit?
