Thus when Senators Calder of New York and Edge of New Jersey put forth 2 joint statement to the éMect that un- less there was a substantial drop in the price of eodl before the coming session of congress in December they weuld put in a bill for gevernment control of the cqal industry it is to be realized that they recognize the injustica of the situation that exists today and has existed for somé time and they are determined as members of the senatorial committee on reconstruction to do as they omise. They are not favorable to such govern- ment control. They do not bélievesin the nationalization of the industry if it can be avoided, but they do Delieve that present cenditions are unjustified and they are willing to urge such legisiation and furnish reasons for it if need be. That this threat is but a means to an end is indicated by thé contention of coal wholesalérs that there will be need for such legislation and that coal prices will drop by Decémber first. High prices, whelesalers that there will be no need for ed in the supplying of {ueél to the coun- orts which have been made to, cormect the conditions have not proved sucesssful but from the response which as béen made fo the announeement that tion will be undertaken to deal with the situation it becomds evident that the conditions éan be remedied by | trade itself. It is evidént, how- t it isn't going to take that step 1 it has to but it prafers that t6 fed- regulation. With the expectation therefére that prices will drop and that the eftortion which has prevailed will be stopped, all that remains is for such fo Be aetaaily accomlished and thé cowmtry will be ready to give Sénators Calder and Edge full eredit for the part they have play- ed thérein. EXTERING THE SOLID SOUTH. Theoughout the eampaign claims have been made that the 86lid south might be broken. Such claims have been made be- fore but, ffom the results thoss who made them this year must get the eredit for knowing the sentiment of Eertain southern states better than others did In previeus campalgns, for the solid south has been broken and while border states which have been regarded as doubtful have shown themseives heavily republi- can others which have been constantly democratic such as Oklahoma and Ten- nessee have jumped 6ver the traces and are not only furnishing electoral college votes for the republican candidates but ‘ollowing it up by Increasing the strength of the republican cofigress and naming republican state officials. The breaking of the solid south is therefore by no means a dréam. The border and southern states have shown the effect of the campaign as car- riéd into them by the republican candi- dates and in Kentucky is also shown the impression made upon the electorate for while Kentucky remains democratic it does s0 by a very narrow plurality while #lecting & republican te the United States senate. But these are not the only indicatiens of the smashing effect the repubMiean campaign had upon the south for Arfzona and New Mexieo, democratic ever since they have been states, are helping to swell the republi- can majority while there are sections of Texas, Louisiana and Georgia where re- vublican majorities were given, thus in- dieating hew extensively the protest against the present administration has prevailed through that section of the country which had hitherto been consid- ered o strongly democratic that it was folly to think of republican success there. Tt I8 recogriized’ of course that the overtugn has been brought about because of jem. Tt is realized that it rlaces responsffities unpon the republi- cans to a grealer degree than ever and it will depend upon the manmer in which the government is carried on during the next four years as to what is going to be the politieal position of those states heneeforth. — e USING THE PARDONING POWER, Quite in keeping with the practice m-i lowed by some of the southern governors is the action eof Governor Clement of Vermont in immediately pardoning ex-' Gevernor Graham following his sentence| by the supreme court of that state to serve from five to eight years in the state penitentiary for embesziement.

" XME ALAND ISLANDS. “The settiement of the Aland island dis-| pute is advanced another pgg by the ap- pointment of. the American member of the commission named to determine the question as to Whether the islands shall be centrolled in the future by Sweden or The tment of Judge Elkus, at the suggestion of the president, furnishes 4 than whe will unquestionably give a high degreés of service in the task which he with ethers will undertake. Judge Elkus i not only a man of legal training but he is well fitted for this post by the diplomatic service he has had and through his acquaintance with the Eu- ropean sitnation. Both the Aland islanders and Sweden want the islands the Swedish flag. They are right at eden’s fromt door and wére up toja little over a century ago a part of Sweden and the inhabitants thereof are for thé most part Swedish fisiérmen. Finland desires the islands becaute they have been associated with Figland and were in fact taken from Swedén at the time when Russia also took Finland. When the islanders by a vote taken among them called upon Swe- den to give them protection following. the unsettled conditions when Russia drop- ped out 6f the war it responded to the call and it would not surprise the world should the eommission of which Judge Elkus is a member reach the conclusion that the islands should be in the future a part of Sweden. By self determination the islands have declaréd for themselves. They have indicated their desires quite the same as Finland did when it cut Joose from Russia and as long as the Russian claim_upon them has ended, there ap. pears to be just as good if not better reason why they should be turned over to the care of Sweden, the counry of Which they weére once part and the coun- try to which they want to go. But while the matter is being settled it should be settled right with full regard for the fu- ture peace of that neighborhood and all concerned. PRORIBITION ENFORCEMENT. For a matter of months it has been claimeéd that liquor was being brought inte this country ever the Canadian bor- der as if prohibition did not exist. This has been set forth as one of the reasons Wwhy prohibition i¢ proving such a farce. Interést is theréfore attached to the revelations which aré being made by the New York Herald to the effect that smugglers figure on 13 safe journeys acféss the border to one interruption, that high powered cars and little secrecy aré used in the traffic which enforcement authorities are unable 10 cope With and that is resulting in & highly profitable and a well organized business. ‘When, as the Herald says, customs of- ficiels and enforcemént authorities admit that the situation, is beyond them it means that they know that the country i§ béing floodéd with booze, that prohi- bition as enforced is a huge joke and that not only the smugglérs but all those Who subsequently handle it-are pulling in greater profits than ever, these .who drink are paying moré than ever for it and the reévenue whieh the country ,for- merly réceived from the liquor business is still being drained from the pockets of the many and remaining in the pock- ets of the few instead of helping to cut down taxation. This is all due to the fact that while pronibition exists the Volstead enforce- ment act is being violated right and left. It is not omly on the border that there are inadequate efforts made to respect the law but it we are to judge by some there are very few places throughout the coun- try where the xe of liquor is not being carried on quite as openly as ever. There are more places where it can be secured and new ones opening up all the time, while the quality of the liquor obtainable depends to a large degree upon the price the drinker is Wwilling to pay. When en- forcement officials insist that the ma- chinery of enforcement must be over- hauled and made adequate there i§ evi- dence on every hand to support it.

Not all the blouses are of the slip-on or pcplum type. There is still an vther type which comes in for its full suzre of popularity—the lomng blo e lower part of which forms a sash tecwninating in a loop and ends at the 'side, at the back or at the front, as the wearcr elects. Such blouses are generally fashioned from satin, char- ueuse, georgetie crepe or amy of the soft s. Ome is of goft, glistening black charmcuse, trimmed 'h gray- rose chiffon silver cloth., The blouse has a soft roll collar of the grayish chiffon which stands in a high becom. ing roll at the back and gradually ta- pers as it extends down the edges of the bodice front. = The bodice opens over a rosoc chiffon under blouse with still another under blouse at the lower m'—. of dull silver tissue. The long ice fronts of the black e¢harmeuse cross over at the lower part in sur- plice effect, and take on the form of sash ends encircling the figure and fasten at the back in loops and long ends. The sieeves are short and fin- ished with turnback cuffs of the col- ored chiffon. - A blouse of this descrip- tion would be exceedingly smart worn with a gray skirt. The hat which ac- companies the model is of gray trim- med with black coque feathers. These new blouses are certain to prove a boon t6 women who are par- tial to bridge parties, and they are equally suited to the matinee or for afternoon tea. LAUNDRY HINTS. Fine blanket shawls are best dried on curtain stretchers. Peroxide ironed into a scorched piece of clothing will remove the scorch. Never wash black stockings in the water with white flannels have been washed, or they will come out covered with white fluff. 1f soap is allowed time to harden it will last twice as long. ‘When sprinkling clothes it will save {lme agxd work if & round whiskbroom s used. To clean white embroidery without washing, sprinkle it thickly with pow- dered chalk and roll up for a few days The chalk may easily be shaken out, and the embroidery will be clean and will not have lost ite new appearance. BRISTLE BRUSHES. Household specialists of the United Statés department of agriculture re- commend that bristle brushes be washed with lukewarm water and a little ammonid) three teagpoonfuls di- lute ammonia to the guart or borax one teaspoonful to the quert and then rinsed in clear water. ‘Water is likely to injure the back of a brush and to l66sen the ceément by which the bristlés are held in place in the less expénsive makes. Therefore the brush should not be covered with water but washed by sousing the bristles back and forth in shallow wa- ter. It should be dried with the bris- tles down or with the weight resting on thé gide of the brush. The drying should be dene quickly, but not in an intense heat. Drying in sunshihe whi- tens light bristles. The weighted bris- tle brush used in polishing floors should be washed occasipnally to pre- vent the accumulation o dift ahd wax from darkening the wood. If fresh aje—ie good to ecure sick, why not use it to-prevent iliness? Oilcloth dotlies with designs in stencll have the two-old advantage of_cleanliness and good looks. Plain cheese cloth dyed to harmon- ize with the room, and left unmironed, is a good substitute for high-priced curtain materials. A good scalloped dish is made with tomatoes, corn and onions. Bass, pickerel, pike, perch or cl]le be used in making ésliclonm jelly. Cottage cheese is delicious when minced pimentos are’added to it. Ffied finnan haddie and potato balls are a good breakfast combination. MEASURING, The bureau of standards has set the theoretical quantity a teaspoon holds as five cubic centimeters, but all spoons do not conform to this.. The housekeeper measurés with a teaspoon and should fill it-“level,” not “heaping.” . How many teaepoons does a pound of baking powder contain? Apparent~ ly the number depends on yourself, upon the spoon used, upon the bran of baking powder you buy, upon the can in the 16t which you happen to get and upon -a few other factors which, though seemingly inconsequen- tial, do entér into the problem A pound of baking powder lasts longer with some cooks than it does with others. In an endeavor to learn where the difference is made the ex- perimental kitchen in the office of home economics of the United States department of agriculture recently conducted a series of experiments, ac- cording to an announcement made by the department Various types of cooking teaspoons were first experimented with to de- termine the exact amount held in each Both the ordinary teaspeon and “measuring spoons” which are linked together in sets were tested. A variation of from 126 to 150 tea- spoons wae found in the same pound can when different teaspoons were used. The personal equation alse entérs into the amount which is called a tea- spoonful. It was found the differenceés due to individual manipulation ranged from 10 to 30 per cent,, & wider varia- tion than those due to the differént capacities of different teaspoons. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. i lunge a pinched finger into water as hot as can be borne, Plain honey or stewed fig juice is soothing. Apply vaseline in the nose &t night and cold press or mild mus- tard to throat and chest. A certain amount of buffing is ex- ¢ellent for the nails for it stimulates the circulation, keeping them soft and young in appearance, and in some cases doing away with the ugly little ridges that epoil the appearancé of the entire hand Crying, turning thé head from side to side, trying to put the hand on ach- ing side are symptoms of earaches. Earache very frequently accompanies or follows a severe cold or an attack of tonsilitis, and thén is causeéd by an extension of the inflammation to the middie ear. This may result in deaf- ness or mastoid abscess. Apply dry heat, hot water bottle or dry salt heat- ed and placed in a sack or old sock. Drop into the ear a few drops of 5 per cent. phenol in_glycerin. Néver neg- lect earache. Have the child exam- ined by a doctor and if necessary by an ear specialist. PLACE FOR TELEPHONE. No one who @oés not know your ha- bits’ can tell you where is the best place for your telephone. In the doc- tor’s household it may be found that the best place for the téléphone -is the dining room, with the receiver on the small table where the doctor can reach it at mealtime, with another extension at his bedside. In this way he finds that he can eat his meals without [ being called away from the table, and i# also means that hé can answer im- portant night calls without having to rouse other members of the family who might hear a hall telephone or without having t6 get out of bed him- self. Still in the average household these two places for the telephone exten- sions might be found to be most in- convenient. A woman who keépt boarders in a emall way, realizing that she spent most of her time in her kitchén had het teléphone exténsion out in her kitchen. This undoubtedly saved steps. But soon she discovered thati when the boarders wanted to use the telephone around meal time it was rather inconvenient to have them in the kitchen. 86 she had the telephone put in the pantry, which in that house- old is the best possible place to have it, since there can be only one exten- sion. TO FRESHEN OLD DRAPERIES. Here are a couple of suggestions for freshening up old draperies so as 16 make them serviceable for theé com- ing winter: One of these is to crochet small clusters of wool flowers in soft shades and place them at intervals along the side and bottom of each of vour cur- tains, You can use small odds and ends of wool for these. They are easily made, being simply a small round shape, but with a darning stitch worked in between the clusters, the effect is charming. A specially pretty combination would be curtains of rose with the darning stitch in black wool and flowers of old blue, lavender, yel- low and pale pink and here and there a small green leaf, CONCERNING WOMEN. Smoking among the women in Japar is a very common sight. Dentistry is one of the best paying professions for women in Serbia. Sixty-six per cent. of all the high school teachers” in the United States are women. i ‘Twenty-four per cent. of the farm women in the United States assist in the field work. Louisville, 'Ky., has more women voters than mel TO SAVE FUEL. To save the fuel in a coal stove be sure that the smoke passages are clean, use lumps of ¢oal brokén rath- er small, save coal and cokeé from the ashes and use again in a good fire, and don't run the range just especially to have hot water in the tank, for it is more economical to heat a little hot water over gas. NEW USE FOR DUVETYNE. Duvetyn, which many people be~ lieved had outlived its smartness, has done nothing of the kind, for it has found a new field to conquer and is therefore quite content to admit that it is a velvet season for both dresses and hats. This new field is lining, and it is easy to see how cozy and decora- tive a duvetyn-lined evening wrap would be. Brocade, satin, or any ma- terial at all, irrespective of its weight, may be lined with duyetyn. If your fur coat needs lining, consider the ef- fectiveness of duvetyn, which comes in a range of colors that put the rain- bow to shame. Linings as a whole are of tremendous importance, and plain fabries often are banded or figured in contrasting ma- terial. The handsomest fur and even- ing wraps, if they are lined with bro- cade, have the lining veiled with chif- KITCHEN HELP.

By Anne Goodwin Williams, National Kindergarten and Elementary College. “I just love Miss Brown,” szid Betty Jané, “she's the understandingest person I ever knew!” What a wonderful tribute! Is there anyone of us grewn ups who does not ! long to deserve just this sort of approv- al from the little children whom we love? = As we reeall our own childhood experi- ences, do not the times when we were misunderstood stand out very distinctly and very bitterly in our minds? A mother told meé of a little child who was angered almost into hysteries by having his 1i@p mimickéd and mocked. “Do you want me to thing for you?" lit- tie John asked a guest in the friendliest fashion. ‘“Yes, in deed, you darling, I want you to thing for me' the visiter said laughingly imitating his lisp. The child's ears weré keen. He recogmized the cerrect pronunciation aithough his lips could nét yét form it and his face reddened as he said in & grieved voice, “I didn’t thay thing. 1 thaid thing.”. “On, you precious lamb, thing for me or thing for me—I don't care. I just adore that lisp of yours” Did ehe get the song—the child's of- fered gift to a guest? No, emphatic: ally no. She had killed the joy of self expression. She had grieved the boy and made him sulky and she had truly béen guilty of an act of rudenéss to a trusting little child. And yet she though that she loved chil- dren. But she lacked the understand- ing of the sénsitive nature of a little ¢hild. Ridjeuls iz évén harder té endure when oné is four yéars old than when he is fqurtesn or forty.

WEST VIRGINIA AS the name implies, West Virginia was originally a portion of Virginia, the Old Dominion colony. While its hietory is naturally yoked up with that of the the mother state, there are many points in which the two sections of Virginia were divergent and -it was for this reason that West Virginia finally’ became a sep- arated state. - The first white man who probably penetrated the wilderness of this western region was John Larderer, a German surgeon who went on a tour of exploration in 1669. In the same year, La Salle sailed up the Ohio and landed at several points in the present state. There was little colonization until 1737, when Seotch and Irish adventurers began to fill Western Virginia. They were encouraged but little, and in fact, the king in*1782 declared that this part of the colony was Indian country and could not rightfully be settled. Cel- onization continued, however, and bitter warfare was waged against the In- dians and the French who had come down from the north. In 1774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant was fought which was one of the bloediest of Indian conflicts. The backwoodsmen who setiled in the western part of Virginia were en- tirely different types of men from the wealthy slave owners along the coast. Jealousies between the two sctions arose and the western countries felt great dissatisfaction at the way Virginia was governing them. The most marked him a good lesson. Dorothy Canfleld Fisher's “Understood Betsy” is a most delightful study of a child who was sometimes misunderstood, a story 8o charmingly teld that grewn people and children can read it together with great enjoyment. And, after is not that secrét of understanding—the doing of things together, talking togéther, walk- ing together, sharing each other's joys and sorrows? “Never mind, honey.” sald wee Isis to her dearly loved kindergarten teacher, “never mind if you are hoarse. I will tell the children a story today and you won't have to talk.” TIsn't this A true illustra- tion of the mutual desire to be of service which we so long to have_underlie our relationship -to the children who are lit- tle children for so very few years?

During all the centuries that the pearl has been used for pergonal adormment it nas previousiy been necessary (o cut opem each oyster of the pearl-bearing species, to ascertain the presence or the absence of the pearl. When no pearl was found the molluse’s life had been sacrificed in vain, and any future chances it might have had of Geveloping pearis were ruined. But the X-ray is destined, according to a writer in Populdr Science Monthly, to save the life of many a precious oyster of the radiation of the X-ray, it is not @¥- cult to recognize the presence of large pearis. Thosé"engaged in the pearl-grow- ing industry cannot overlook the faet that with this highly perfected apparatus it will be possible to save growing pearis which otherwise would have been wasted when the shells had te be opened to dis- cover them.” With pearis becoming more valwable year by year, this additional use for the X-ray will probably find favor genefally among commercial pear! culturists. ——— |vet the new method has this variety. Something to Fight About. “This méthod,” be sa Many husbands and wives who could gested by Raphael Du Franee, in 1901, but it was not tried out until recently. The pearl oysters that breed in Ceylon and Venezuela are thin. skinned, and it is easy to discover wheth- er or not they contain pearls.
