There was the n thore was little or no thought to the prevention of waste in the g of trees and the utilization of mber. Unfortunately there is nome too much at the present time and yet it is realized that the supply of timber is such that there must be due conserva- tion and proper reforestation if there is to be an adequate supply a quarter of a century or so hence. We cammot con- tinue to take from the woodlands at the rate we have been doing, without mak- ing bettir use of what s taken or pre- paring to replace if it is expected to have a timber supply a generation hence. How this hits the railroads, although in a somewhat different manner, is indi- cated by the arrangements which have een made by the New Haven road for a treosoting plant for the treatment of ties. Because of the blight which has killed most of the chestnut trees in this bart of the country one source of rail- road ties has been killed.

That s of comse gratifying but it is unfor- tunate thax they haven't remained at work during the time they have been on strike for their own good as well as the good of those who depend upon coal for fuel. The decision to return to work comes as the resmit of the action of the court of appeals in holding up the putting in- to effect of the terms ‘of Judge Ander- son’s injunction concerning the chick- off. It may or may mot be that the court of appeals has rendered its decision in the form it did because the men W et on a strike but final action will of course be based on the facts. It has so far @ealt w'th an emergency and acted to prevent \he halting of coal produc- tion, The regrettable thing is that the min- ers did not put their reliance in the ap- peal to the upper court from the in- junction decision before throwing down their tools and refusing to work. The higher court has not set aside the in- junction and it has not indicated that it will unless ‘such action is warranted but % has decided that the injunction shou'd mot go into effect untjl there has been ascertained the full facts in the case. That means that it is acting for the good of all, which of course in- cludes the miners apd it would -have been much more to thefr credit had they determined to cchaust the ald of the court in their behalf before resorting to other measures. . The injunction order was subject to an appeal and the federal judges to whom the case was presented lost no time In realizing what the sitmation meant to the country. It will require some time to give consideration to the features of the ettire case and the court takes the position that instead of per- mitting the Injunction to go into effect before reviewing the case it is preferable for all concerned that it ‘shoul be held up until thé case can be studied In all its aspects. In the meantime coal produc- tion will not be crinyled. IDENTIFICATION BU- REAU.

SELECTING A FOWL The best fowls are one year old (less than a year old, they are known as chickens) with yellow feet, short. thick legs, smooth, moist skin, plump breast and the whole bird rather soft and pliant. Old fowls (hens) have hard horny feet, with coarse scales, the flesh is of a purplish tinge and they usually have a large amount of fat that has a strong odor when cooking, They fit in snugly and and there are many long hairs scat- tered over the body of these old birds. They require strong flavored, tough and very un- palatable. a fowl for “made dishes.” unfit for food when 2 endless cooking, are Avoid such when selecting They are years old. NARROW SHELVES. The shelves of the line closet should be just wide enough to admit of piles of a dozen -articles of each sort, and just deep enough .to admit one row of articles. Numerous shallow shelves relatively close together make a more 'z | convenient arrangement than deeper o | shelves wider apart. FADED CARPET. A faded carpet can be much improv- ed at little expense. Add a pint of vinegar to a pan of fairly hot water and, after having given the carpet a thorough brushing, rub this well into every part of it with a clean cloth, HEALTH AND BEAUTY a| If a new toothbrush is soaked over- night in a glass of water it will pre- vent the bristles’ coming out and will last much longer. Glycerine is good for the hair, pure glycerine rubbed into the scalp with the finger tips at night. Rub it with a circular motion that tends to curl the new hair which is coming in. A little washing soda in the water with which you wash your _hair brushes will aid in the cleansing. Dip the brushes up and down briskly with the bristles downward. Rinse in cold water and dry in the sun. You must never have the nails to long or too short, too pointed or too square. the shape you can always improve the shape of the fingers. The nails should be rounded to a slight point which should extend beyond the length of v | the finger when the fingers are short, it |and about to its dege when the fingers were long. It should be more sharp- 1y pointed on a blunt finger, less sharp- ly on a tapering finger. A two ,or three-minute massage nightly is quite enough to keep the skin supple and resistant. Before be- ginning the massage cleanse your face thoroughly with cleansing cream or with soap and hot water. Dry and then coat lightly with skin food. Begin manipulations on your forehead, put- ting the thumb on the temples and the tips of the fingers so they meet at the center of the forehead. With a circular movement move them out- ward and upward. Repeat five times, pressing very lightly. 'y y s n y y h STRAW DOLLS, With a straw doll, which she can make herself, your little daughter can have lots of fun. Take some twenty or thirty pieces of straw, about 8 inch- es long. B?‘d them together an inch and a half from one end. Bind them again two inches below that. Divide the straw below the last part tied into two sections and tie them near the ends. Thus legs are formed. Cut a few straws loose on each side and bind them near the ends for arms. 2 {Wind the top for a head. Then have lots of crepe papers for fancy colored frocks. GUESTS.

There is a noticeable increase in the length of the skirts worn by well dressed women. Pheasant trimmed felt hats, in bright colors. A black velvet, off- the-face hat embroidered with tiny pearl sea shells was noted recently. Often earrings matching the girdle will be worn, the very long pendant type noted more than any other, while The mayor of New York is threatening | some hoops of pearls are also worn. city control of the milk plants.

Straps are the arresting shoe fea- Yet by varying very slightly . ture. Sandals kre much worn for dress wear, especially black patent leather ones, with blond hosiery. Dresses cut en princess, with fringe hanging from the waist across the back only, are often seen. One such model, made of dull cloth of gold, had the fringe made of gold spangles. Broadeloth crepe or cachemire crepe is introduced as an attractive variation for the black frock. Novelty velvets in stripe and plaid effects as well as a variety of designs are still favored. \ A fuchsia chiffon velvet model, for instance, with collar of variously blended fuchsia colored silk and vel- vet flowers has shirred, wide sleeves of metalic brocade deeply banded in velvet and the matching lining is trim- med with gold lace, to go with a gold lace and fuchsia velvet gown. Another evening wrap is black satin deeply banded with jet pailettes and lined with rose chiffon velvet, to be worn over a jet paillette robe with corsage of roses to match the flower collar of wrap. A youthful box model in navy perl- laine with its frock having the long, indefinite waistline, is a favorite. Emareald green touches are found in the silk embroidery and cloth strip down the side of the skirt of this model, which has a high self collar fastening like a single wing to one side. S KNITTED WEAR. Cachemir tones—a blending of green, yellow, blue, red, etc.—are noticeable in the latest collection of knit ready to wear goods. Sports casaquins, with long sleeves and high necks, are rep- resented in these tones, especially adapted for wear with sports tweeds or knit weol suits. Chine, or mixtures, still continue in favor, navy and green blended to- gether give a new color” scheme, and long sleeves with scalloped cuffs are increasing in popularity. Although the sleeveless jumpers to be worn with tailored suits are also seen for winter wear, the long sleeved jumper or sweater is promised more success. POPULAR. ‘With silks so maich less expenstve than they have been for a long time, all kinds of silken under apparel will certainly be in high favor for the com- ing season, and pink leads the proces- sion as to color. Comparatively few women choose white, and the odd shades such as bright blues, yellow and orchid are more popular for shop window display purposes than for ac- tual wear. The tailored models are generally more popular than the lace- trimmed ones. =~ Tucking are popular touches, and a good deal of ribbon used. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Cheap thread and sewing silk are dangerous economies, and it is better to use such for basting and coarse hand sewing and have the best for machine sewing: Breaking erthad or thread that knots is maddening, and silk that knots is maddening, and silk that fades and breaks after it is sewed on the goods wastes one's time and ruins the temper. ‘When outlining round forms it is much easier to make the outline stitch- es from left to right, as they will then conform to the rounded shape. Knots should never be used in embroidery of any kind and when beginning the out- lining run a few stitches to the com- mencing point and then cover these stitches with the outlining. After the work is finished run the thread back and fasten with a buttonhole stitch. A centrepiece that should have last- ing style is worked in white mercer- ized cotton on a fine grade, heavy linen. Its edge has alternate grouped scal- lops, rather shallow one, or 11 smaller scallops and deeper curve of seven small scallops. In the centre of each shallow curve is a tall, narrow, em- pire basket, worked in satin stitch, jand filled with conventionalized deeper curve is a semi-circle of eyelets, with an eyelet daisy and foliage above it, while opposite each point is a six- petalled forget-me-not, with three leaves worked in satin stitch. This is connected with the semi-cirele of eye- lets by scroll pointing toward the bas- ket. BOUDOIR NOVELTIES. A novel accessory idea is that of having dainty sets of mules, bougoir bandeau and garters. These are made of imported materials with the airiest possible trimmings. - Marabou, metal lace and ribbon, fur and feathers are ‘among the fabrics utilized. One set shows pink satin mules with a border of blue marabou around the toe and also a rosette of marabou on the bandeau, which is made of silver lace. Pink pearls are used on the bandeau, which has brows at the ends and ties with metal and colored rib- bon. Fur trims another satin mule in yellow, which has a tiny tassel of gold, slightly atone side of the center. A black set is interesting. Gold lace *and flowers trim the slippers. The garters in every case are of flowered ribbon in suitable shades, and are finished with a tiny gold or silver bow. White pearls and a row of colored ribbon flowers trim * the black bandeau, which is made of net embroidered in gold, and finished with gold lace. Another distinctive “trimming is a rosette of pink ostrich with a pink pearl center. This is used on a black mule which has a pink lining and the border is finished with pink pearls to _the sole of the slipper. Ribbon with crystal bead flowers in pastel shades trims another set, blue and pink being effectively com- bined. The bandeau in this instance is in fine ecru lace and also the ribbon straight through the center of it. TO REMOVE TIGHT RING. Here is a good way of removing a tight finger ring that refuses to pass over a joint. Take some lengths of thread and run these backward. and forward several times over a piege of soap. Select the finest needle that will take the thread and pass the needle between the finger and the ring. If the point is kept well upward it will not be likely to run into the finger. Twist three or four lengths of the thread ground the finger at intervals, and it will then be found that the ring slips easily along the “runners.” Another way is to wind the thread, after it has been passed through the ring, spirally up the finger. Even a very tight ring can usually be worked screw-fashion up the threads. CONCERNING WOMEN., Miss Mary L. Dutton, who owns and operates two cafeterias in Chicago, is planning to open a third establish- ment in the same city which will be the largest eating place of its kind in the world. Lady Parker, wife of Sir Gilbert Parker, the novelist, played extra in Elinor Glyn's story, “The Great Mo- ment,” recently preduced in photophay form. Mrs. H. L.

Washington in his first an- nual message referred to the impor- tance of uniformity in the currency, and in his second message he urged the importance of the establishment of a mint. \ Congress took up the suggestion and Alexander Hamilton, who was Secre- tary of the Treasury at the time, on January 28, 1791, sent a lengthy com- munication to the House of Represen- tatives on “The Establishment of a mint.” This communication was the basis for the Act of Congress of April 2, 1892. which not only was the founda- tion of the institution, but also regu- lated the coins of the United States. On May 8, 1792, the director of the mint was authorized with the appro- bation of the President, to purchase a quantity of copper for the coinage of | cents and half cents, and Congress also provided that when fifty thousand dol- lars had been coined notive should be given the public in at least two news- papers. Philadelphia being the seft of Gov- ernment at that time, naturally the mint was located at that point. The building chosen for our first coinage ‘was at 37 and 39 North Tth street, and this was the sole United States mint from 1792 te 1838. The corner-stone was laid on July 31, 1792, presumably by Dayid Rittenhouse, the celebrated| astronomer and philosopher and first director of the mint. | ° The ground on which the first mint | building stood was sold by William| Penn to the Penn vania Land Com-| pan. The deed was signed by Penn| on August 17, 1699, for a congideration of 1b2,000. This land had been deeded | READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 A TAXPAYER.

You have in mind the man, or woman for that matter, whose forehead curves outward between the lever of the eyebrows and the point at which the scalp normally begins, for this is known as the second “story” or “floor” of the forehead. In the brain, back of the first “floor” are located the perceptive faculties. But above them are what are known as the retentive faculties. it is here that the brain has its “library,” so to ak. And according to the exact shape and location of the bone development you may read the exact type of knowledge that is stored up there. But in gen- eral, remember that the development of this second “story” means stored Lknowiedge. People who have this type of fore- head may be described as “scholarly” They not only possess more than the average development of memory for sound, tone, color, size, dimensions, facts, faces and incidents but also in most cases the ability of expression the power to make this knowledge available Tor their own use and the use of oth-/ ers, whether it be through the medium of speech, writing or the various arts.

On December 30, 1792 Jefferson wrote Pinckney, our minister to England, about the difficulty of procuring cop- per, and suggested Sweden as a sourcel of supply, and enclosed a draft on the treasury of the United States for $10,- 000. The regular coinage of copper be- gan in 1793, silver in 1791 and gold in 1795. The following curious extracts are taken from the mint rules and reg- ulations of the early days: “The allowance under the name olt drink money is hereafter to be discon- tinued. “The operations of the mint through- out the year are to commence at § o'clock in the morning. | “He (the watchman) will keep in & proper chest, securely locked @ mus-| ket and bayonet, two pistols, and a sword. “Chridtmas Day and the Fourth of July—and no other days—are estab- lished holidays at the mint. “The watchman must attend from 6 o'clock in the evening to 5 in the morning; he must ring the yard bell every hour,~and send the watchdog through the yard imediately after ring- ing the bell.” At first there was more or less crit- icism about the conduct of the mint which Mr. Boudinot explained was due to trouble in getting competent work- men, preper materials and strong ap- paratus.
