The investigation should show whether the alrship was construct- ed on such Mnes that it could be ex- pected to meet all conditions to which such a craft Is bound to be submitted. Already it would seem that the attempt to bulld the fastest and largest alrship in the world had led the builders td at- tempt too much and that they had sac- rificed esafety In their efforts to estab. lisk & record. From such facts as can be obtained it ought to be possidle te reach a fairly definite conclusion, inas- mnch as it is fo be remembered that there were the conditions disclosed on previcus tests which are bound to have & valuable bearing. ‘The explesion, which made the dis- Mster much worse, s another matter g i s AR that is bound b get attention, ingsmuch as the clalm is made that had the air- ship been filled with helium instead of hydrogen there could have been no ex- plosion and’ consequently, even though the framework had buckled, the break- ing up of the dirigible would have been prevented. That is a matter that has been getting more, attention than usual. This country has spent much 4n experi- menting with helium and certainly that which can serve the same purpose as hydrogen and provided the added factor of safety must of mecessity be given the preference. / The investigation cannot bring back the dead or restcre the . It must serve as a powerful lesson con- nection with the conmgtruction and wuse of similar craft in the future, and it will be through the faects ascertained that it will be possible to secure a high- ly valuable guide as to what should and what should not be done in the way of building, inflating and fiying such great arks of the alr. NEW BOARD VINDICATED. The latest step thus far recorded in connection with the shipping board and the United States Mail Steamship com- pany brings them right back to the point where they were when the gov- ernment seized the ships, except that all that' has taken place in the meantime has served to pile up the expense and bring to light conditions which show how that corporation has been attempt- ing to do business and at the same time how easy it seems to be to make the government agency responsible for all sorts of poor management. The nine former German liners that were seized have been flying the Amer- ican flag and being taken over by the shipping board will continue to do so, The change doesn't mean the decrease] of the flag upon the high seas, but th: action of the receivers of the compan following the surprising revelations which they have encountered fully jus- tifieg the action that was instituted dby the shipping board several weeks ago. Efforts to cover ip the bad conditions, the poor management and the situation which was steadily getting worse threat- ened for a time to succecd. In view of the fact that the shipping board must shoulder a debt of $1,200,000 due to im- migrants and that had it been allowed to continue the losses would have mounted to Immeasureable sums the temporary success of the legal efforts of the company show to what extent jus- tice can be obstructed and chicanery abetted for a limited time even to the embarrassment of those suffering and undertaking to put an end to improper conditions. The disclosures concerning this steam- ship company seem to indicate another instance of profiting at the expense of the shipping board and the easy meth- ods which it has pursued in the past. Happily it is indicated that those days are at an end, and the present board by the new turn is vindicated. ERZBERGER'S END. That the war has not served to elimi- nate the assassin and those who are willing to get rid of a prominent public offici by the cowardly method of as- sassination is well disclosed by the kill- ng of Mathias Erzberger, ex-vice pre- r. of Germany, who was shot down while walking in the famous Black For- est by two men who escaded. Just what was the reason for desir- mg him out of the way is not disclosed. Investigation or capture of the guilty ones will establish that, although Frz- verger was a man who Invited enemies and any, one of several reasons might ve advanced as the ones that caused them to indulge in murder. He was a leader in the centrist par- tv. He was also*a signer of the armis- tice and back in 1917 he urged in the ceichstag a peace by agreement without annexations. He had had a prominent part in German polities and so deeply nad he gotten into disputes and so open- iy had he invited opposition that he had been termed the most hated man in Germany. Likewise he had been repeat- edly warned of the probability cf just such an end as that which game to him. Apparently ag fearless of his _personal safety as he was in advocating his causes in politics he gave too little heed to protection Significant is it that his end came by assassins' bullets at a time when he was planning to reenter politics. Thus there appears to be a number of reasons which may have prompted the killing even though none of them warranted such a taking of life. He was a man who had played a prominent part in the affairs of Germany for a decade or more. He was one of the strong back- ers of the present government and his removal means a directly blow there to. Although given to compromise he was not only whose career was by any means marked by such action. He has been a prominent figure In Germany and he will figure conspicuously in that country’s history during the war period. EDITORIAL NOTES. For once Germany did as expected— signed the peace treaty.

A casserole iz a2 household necessity. Chopped watercress makes & = good sandwich filling. Olmonds should be browned and salt- ed a day before using, 5 Never pour gravy over meat that is to be carved at the table. Cornstarch used as a should be thoroughly cooked. Add a little salt when cooking sour fruits. Less sugar is then required. ‘Tomatoes may be stuffed with chop- ped onions, tomato pulp and bread crumbs and baked Fish is delicious a la king. A little lemon and & pinch of nutmeg should be added, . Cocoa will be more digestible if it is caoled, the globu'es of fat removed and then reheated. Arrange rounds of crispy toasted bread in the bottom of the soup tureen before pouring the soup over them. Glaced raisins are wholesomé for chil- dren. Season the sugar with oil of cin- amon, clove, or peppermint, If you are troubled by ants or mice mix a little borax and sugar and put it wWhere they will find it, For picnics little individual layer cakes can be baked in tiny pans and put | together with jeidy or fudge filling. thiekenms KEEP TURPENTINE HANDY. Turpentine should always be kept in the household. It gives a quick relief to burns; it is an excellent application fer corns; it is good for rheumatism and sore throats. It is also a sure preven- tive against moths; by just dropping a trifie in the drawers, chests and cup- boards it will render garments secure from injury. It will keep ants from storerooms, if you put a few drops in the corners and upon the shelves, A spoon of turpentine added to a pail ot warm water is excellent for ceaning paint. TO TESY SILK. Silk and cotton mixtures are readily detected by examining the unraveled fibers. Silk fibers are very long. @In these days long artificial silk fi- bers made from cotton are often substi- tuted for the real article, To distinguish ‘between the two fibers a thread should be held in the boiling washing soda and Jime liquor. Silk behaves like wool and eventually dissolves. Artificlal silk is much more resistant and in most cases will sirvive the treat- ment. When moistened, naturaily silk retains its strength and elasticity. Arti- ficial silk does mot and becomes much weaker. Pure silk fabrics are often weighed with tin salts, In some cases, especially with black dyed silks, the weighing is as much as 300 per cent. On burning, such fabrics will leave a large mineral ash. In judging the strength of a fabric always test it both ways. In most cases the crosswise strength is different from the strength lengthwise. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. At no time should a baby be taught to walk by the use of any contrivance. He will attempt ot walk as soon as musclesl and bones afe strong-enough. Irritability of the stomach, loss of ap- petite, dyspeptic symptoms after patak- ing of food, dizziness, nausea and vomit- ing are often caused by eye strain. After the eyes are examined and glasses are worn, the symptoms disappear. Children during the period of school life who fre- quently suffer from headache, loss of ap- petite and dizziness and are behind in their work should have their eves exam- ined and the eye strain relieved by pre- scribed glasses. If you have a red nose your digestion probably needs looking after, and you will have to treat the affliction locally by rubbing and tapping the mnose to-scatter the congested blood. 1f you have black- heads you should steam the nose by holding hot wet cloths over it, and then use cleansing cream, or better yet, the blackhead cleansing powder. A certain | amount can be done in the Way of keep- ing the skin fine and clear and white by massaging the nose from its top between the eyes to its tip. Sunshine is the housewife’s best anti- septic. It is hard for a cold to thrive in a house flooded in sunshine. Even.if the members of your household are not at home during sunshiny hours, if they sit at night and sleep in rooms that have | been flooded in sunshine and fresh air during the daytime they will reap the benefit. So forget the fact that sunshine fades rugs and hangings and let the sun shine in for all it is worth dyring those months when the sunshine is nome too| strong, anyway. Pull up your Curta.ins! and shades as high as they will g6 and let this greatest of antidotes come in. SKIRTS ARE TO BE LONGER. There is one clothes question that is At the moment uppermosi in the minds of nine women out of ten. ‘“Are skirts really going to be longer—and, if so, how much longer?” They ane to be longer, ac- cording to Vogue. Longer, translated, means eight inches off the ground for street clothes—not much chance for dust sweeping there—and two to four inches| in the evening. Next in importance to skirt lemgths, comes the gquestion of silhouettes. First comes the suit, which, due to Parisian enthusiasm, is perhaps more popular thain in several seasons. This year it g made, very likely, of kasha cloth or broadcloth, called back into favor. Its coat may either be straight and belt- less or with a slightly curved waistline ond godets on the side, but flat back and front. Its color is black, black combined with gray, very dark red, or the new Madeleine blue. Its skirt is nine inches from the ground. Vying with it in popularity is the coat-dress, a real feature of the coming season, with its high collar of fur, low- ered waistline, defined by a gleaming steel belt and sometimes embroidered in cut steel beads, its long sleeves, its fuller and longer skirt, its deep rich color fur- ther enrichened by peasant embroidery. Next comes the afternoon dress, of- fered in several interesting silhouettes, but best liked, perhaps, in two. One is in the real peasant spirit, with its char- acteristically long, loose, bloused lines, straight wide sleeves, lowered waistline, a sash loosely knotetd about it. a full but straight hanging skirt, uneven of him, and with touches of embroideries reminis. cent of southern Europe adding to its colorful effect” The other is the straight silhouette which retains many of the features of last season’s chemise dress, talling straight from the shoulder and simply belted with one of the new metal gridles. This is the most conservative silhouette, but the I new in effect. Because of its generally wearable quali- ties, it is likely to be the most worn. Then, for evening, comes the Greek sil. houette, a lovely thing of grace and charm—ideal for the dinner table or tha theatre. In white or delicate colors and soft patternless fabrics, it is apt to be sleeveless and may be either straight and pleated or faultlessly draped. THE SWEATER VOGUE. The popularity of the sweater shows Do asbatement. _Even with the advent of the beach cape (that is beach in name only, since it isn't confined to that geographical location), the sweater Wag not obliged to take a back seat. In it came out more glorious than ever before all trimmed up in brushed Wool or else made from pure silk fiber. About the only thing it did concede was being made a slipon. Most of the gar- 1 Ws\*fi&z;fi i il | sweaters are worn for any and all in- B o ¢ WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN they are of the weol, down the front and belted at the waistiine for a fastening. The slipon type is still be- ing followed in silk, but then a sweater of this kind may be used instead of a blouse and worn for the afternoon teas and porch parties. Numpbers of really beautiful silken formal occasfons. Orchid is g fayorite shade and frequently there ard chic lt- tle (tams to match that look well on the bobbed heads. One of the models that has attracted a great deal of attention Is made on the popular Tuxedo line, the roll collar of brushed wool extending to the walst line. Ancgier has a more elaborate decoration of the brushed wool, in that the ‘bottom of the garmeht is made en- tirely of the wool and the brushed wool coliar extended to the bottom of the sweater. This particular sweater coat is of rose and the brushed wool 'in white. If ome Is clever at designing silken sweaters there are no end of attractive pattérns which may be fol- lowed. DICTATES OF FASHION. Chiffon dance frocks are numerous. The pinafore collar and childishly round neckline appear on ‘ dresses of many types. s Skirts are decidedly longer, almost to the ankle in some instances. ‘Wraps decorated with- large beads are popular in Canton crepe and cloth. Shell and4 metal ornaments shaped like Spanish combs are used for hat trimmings. Petunia, fuchsia, dahlia and violine are some of the names given the new red purples which are offered for fall. Sphinx, gunmetal, platinum and steel gray are very strong. Many dresses are made with émbroid- ered or some mnovelty aprom. Crepe shawls, deeply fringed, are dyed either black or red, and have become as popular as the gay multi-colored Spanish shawl. Any number of lace veils and trail draperies are worn on hats of all kinds, Spanish sailors being particularly popu- lar as a foundation for this type of trimming. Organdy hats meet with the highest approval. One smart hat seen recent- 1y had monkey fringe between its white folds. CUSTARDS. Watch the custard that it does mot bake too long and become dry and stringy. If vou are not quite sure that your milk is of the best quality. put a heaping teaspoon of cornstarch into the custard mixture and it will not be watery. % REMOVE SHINE. 1f vou would .remove the shine from vour dark skirt, Tub it well, not too hard. with a flannel dipped in turpentine and ary out of doors, in the shade.

A little borax should be added to the in which sateen or any other material with a glossy finish is ; it will help to ret the shin the sleeves and collars CONCERNING LINGERIE, The process of elimination has been carried to extremes in the matter of lingerie and few but fine sums up what a woman wears or shou wear these days and ghts. Simp ty of Ilme charactert: the best of the new things, There is, for insfance, a scal- loped combination gay with trimming of cabbage roses made of the crepe de chine. Shorn of the roses, it becomes simple enough for any one and would be attractive made in mull or ecotton goods 1f for some reason crepe de chine does not appeal. There could be no simpler way than tying the waist with ribben and bowing it in the front. If one’s fancy runs to a pleated combina- tion. the softest materials must of course be chosen, ‘A frock having elther a wide skirt or one that made wide by distending the hips, will hang all the better for the added fullness the nleated combi- nations will give. To be sure, there are inations with _straight pleated as Scotch in line ag the kiits of the Highlanders,. and these are safe to wear with straight line frocks and are to be commended since their nvleating makes them reasonably shadow proof. Thie is a point in favor also of a black satin princess slip with black Chantilly lace motifs which is designed to be worn under a black lace frock and is in truth a part of the frock itseif, since it is clearly visible. Much care should be exercised in selecting the underslip to be seen through a diaphanous gown. Some frocks, like some clouds, have sil- ver linings, but whethgy they are sil- ver literally or figuratively, they should be beautiful and never give the sugges- tion of being lingerle and not slip. CONCERNING WOMEN. Five Wisconsin cities now employ po- licewomen. Turkey is the first country to produce a woman gabinet member. Thousands of factory girls !n England are leaving the mills for domestic work. Thirty thousand Oklalioma girls are enrolled in farm clubs. Jury service by women in the state of Illinois has been declared unconstitu- tional in a decision rendered by a supe- rior court judge in Chicago. In the famous Covent Garden. flower market in London the work of carrying is done largely by women porters. A somewhat odd recognition of their work is received annually by these flower por- ters in the shape of a shaw! and two aprons each, a gift from the Duchess of Bedford. RESILVERING OLD MIRRORS. To resilver old mirrors or reflections Tub off all of the old silver with a piece of emery paper fastened to a block of wood cut to the curve of the reflector. Use a fine grade of emery, so that it will not scratch the surface. Then melt together two ounces of lead, two ounces of tin and four ounces of chem- ically pure bismuth. This should be melted in an iron ladle and a thermometer capable of registering more than 200 degrees should be placed in the mixture. Eight oumces of mercury are added at"212 degrees and mixed with the . boiling ré. This is them ap- plied warm with a smooth brush.

Tomorrow—Heavy Hands I CHILD TRAINING AT HOME I‘ e An American Product. [ 1 By Mary E. Ely. The only child, that over-protected and uprotected little soul, whose par- ents are so un-intelligent in their de- sire to be_intelligent, so inconsistent in their consistencies! He is an appealing child, even in his most trying moments, and a _word in his defense may soothe and encourage those who at times misjudge and find him almost unbearable: e d h = ‘ “I believe all children’s good, If they're only understood, Even bad one, 'pears to me, ‘Sjes’ as as good, as they kin be*” d ! The only child is surely sinned against rather than sinning. He has much with which to contend, this lone- some child having no legitimate vent for his social life with those of his own kind, in years and stage of d velepoment, no one who can think his thoughts, play his games and see his little viewpoint. n d 4 n d “At evening when the lamp is Mt Around the fire my parents sit, They sit at home and talk and sing And do not play at anything” sang on only child, our whimsical Robert Loufs Stevenson. It is com- panionship a child craves, and an op- portunity to establish relations on his own plane with other children. Of course a little child dearly loves the undivided attention of his elders, to be singled out as an object of at- tention , the satellite around which those loving him revolve. He is at the mercy of those persons who at times overwhelm him with attention and at- fection as the mood seizes them, then, when the child least expects it, thrust him aside without a word. He is constantly being experimented d a | with, and by inexperienced parents, who to follow any other profession but parenthood, the greatest one in the world, wou)d fit themselves for it by years of study and research. A nurse can keep a child physically fit, she is trained for it. Parents should go into training, curb their sel- fish pleasures, and become sane, bal- anaced, earn lovable, prayerful in their conduct toward this only child. Then he can build right standards of behavior and control, thus producing the mental, moral and spiritual quali- ties essential to good citizenship. A worth-while slogan provocat of thought, was released at a Child Wel- f::\re Club—“The chief business of so- ciety, to evolve parents fit for children to live with,” to which we might add Forebel's illuminating word let us live with our children.” e d ¥ n n Stories That Recall Others n Both Strong Words.
