That it might have besn too much surprised to have been ready to credit the proposal, in view of the fact that it seemed so much like throwing a monkey wrench into the machinery, is possible-but, whether the idea is serious or simply used for trading purponmes, much will depend upon the recaption it gets in France. \ 125 YEARS OLD Sudmertotion orice 13 & week: 6o & month: .00 . s, Datared a O Postoffice ot Normis.

Demands for states to meet the situa- tion have failed and now there !s before congress a bill for a federal law that is intended te prevent such meéb rul ‘The need of a federal anti-lymching law has been felt for a long time and wunder the provosed bill it will be against the law of the nation to participate in the ad- ministration of lynch law, for fallure of state officials to afford protection against mob violence and places a penalty of $10,- 000 upon every county wherein a lynch- ing is held. What congress is going to do about it ought not to require much time to dis- close. The many instances of wanton disregard for law and order and the will- ingness to take human life in disfespect of the state laws without the establish- ment of guilt or any serious effort to do 50 has gotten to the point where it is time for the application of a federal iaw. Tt is time to lend serfous discouragement | to those who are disposed to take the law into their own hands. Repeatedly has it been sald that pubiie sentiment in the states where the lynch- fags are the most numerous is against such lawlessness and yet 1t nas never been possible for that public sentiment to put a check upon such practice or bring about the punishment of those respons- hle for the leadership in such cases. Where states fafl in their duty it is tfme that the nation took a hand in.the pro- tection of the rights of Individuals and congress ought to lose no time In provid- |inz the necessary legislation.

EDITORIAL NOTES Of course there is reason for thanks that the rain of the past week wasn't snow. heistmas is just around the corner, here is a lot of shopping that re- to be done. That Yap controversy didn't amount to much mut it is a good thing to have it settled, and settled right. Now that the last installment of the income taxes have been paid Christmas shopping ought to get a new Impetus. Reports of 15 degrees below zero in Maine may bring joy to tne icemen but it starts the goose pimp'es on sveryoat else. Many in Boston will bs greatly sur- orised if it gets anything approaching good government during the next four years, Better work and more of it is needed, ¥& the secretary of labor. That would be a great motto to hang in consplcucus places. The man on the corner says: Those who haven't got their shepping dome re- alize that Christmas {5 approaching rapidly. It is a terrible thing to think that | the putting of marines on mail trains and ordering them to shoot to kill is gotng to discourage the activity of a lot of mail robbers. Prospects may be brighier for zome trolley lines but the pethziening for re- esfvars for three roads m Massachusects indleates that all are not having clear sailing. With such a large corn orop there are those urging the feeding of more cat- tle with it, but there is much worse food than that wKich can be made of the good old Indlan meal. That New York burglar who was pa- roled after serving 12 1-2 years of a 40-year sentence only to return to his old business and got caught because his ef- fort to kill his pursuers failed ought nev- er to have been allowed outside prison walls. The judge who sentenced him to { wide ones and are easier to clean and 40 years knew him better than the gov- orner who -paceled him, WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN = | SUGGESTIONS FOR — . THE HOUSEWIFE Add a bit of cheese to the stuffed tomato. It gives body and adds a lusciousness to the taste. Pineapples diced, halved hard grapes and diced ripe peaches make an ex- cellent combination for salad. If the room is unpleasant with odors from cooking, put a few drops of la- vender in a cup of boiling water. This will remove them. Chicken fat is excellent for cake bak- ing and shortening generally. If tired of plain mayonnaise dressing try adding chopped celery or a chop- ped pimento. A clever use of different sauces is a great help toward variety in the menu. ‘When making a crust for pies with a soft filling have the pastry thicker than usual and use less shortening. A woman who wears her silk stock- ings longer than most of us says that she always »”hes them ih cold wa- ter and that she never uses any soap. When putting away clothes, efther summer or winter, write the names of the contents on each package. This saves much time and work when searching for some particular article. Shut a boiler of steaming water in a room from which the paper is to be removed. B A small piece of gum camphor put inside the plano will keep moths from the felt. Rub streaks on polished tables with a little camphorated oil. Rub hard and long and they will surely disappea Cornmeal rubbed on grease spots on a carpet will cause the spots to dis- appear. NEW USES IOR BISCUIT CUTTER For combining shortening with flour in making piecrust, cutting it in with knives, is a hygienic improvement that is considered better than the time- honored method of mixing it in with the tips of the fingers. Moreover, aside from hygienic considerations, handling the dough too much makes the crust tough. The United States Department of Agriculture has lately employed a thir method of mixing f atand flour. which is to cut in the fat with the biscuit cutter. No special directions are needed to guide the cook who would adopt this| simple little tool for this putpose. The fat is added to the sifted flour and salt and the two are chopped together more or less thoroughly, depending up- | on the uality of piccrust desired. Then ! the water is added and the biscuit/| cutter is used again to combine the wa- ter with the fat and flonr mixture. Here are other suggestions for the use of the biscuit cutfer: Use it to mix fat and flour for bak- ing powder biscuits. Use it to chop fruit, when the fruit is to be used on shortcake, in making jelly or jam, or as sauce for ice cream. Use it to chop cold, boiled potatoes, for hash or salad. POINTS ABOUT CUPECARCS Have plenty of well-planned cup- board and shelf space for storing uten- Save steps by | similer things and placing| 1e part of the room where be used. For instance, keep sils and food supplie grouping mixing bowls and spoons and such dry materials as each other if p cften economize and flour near Narraw shelves better than space to keep In order. Low cupboards are| preferred to those reaching to the ceil- ing, and are not so likely to become “catc! 11; HEALTH AND BEAUTY To prevent nipple from collapsing place a piece of string across the bot- tle before you put on the nipple. Wrapping baby's bottle in newspa- pers will keep food warm when placed under a pillow for night feeding. There are two extremes in hairdress- ing at the moment. That is, the halr is worn full and puffy about the face! or exceedingly fiat and drawn up to the crown of the head to reveal the The latter s extremly smart-and likewise e: gemely trying. Only a beautiful won adopt it with any certainty of success. If your finger nails are brittle, and most housewives have this trouble to tend with because they must have their hands in water so many times each day, acquire the habit of rubbing a little vaseline or olive oil on them eve: night before retiring and this condition will soon disappear. ‘With most of the fashionable hair- dressings little short, open curls are worn over the cheeks in front of the! ears. French women always have own a strong preference for these thin, fringy curls, but more so at the present time tkun ever before. Regard- less of how the hair is d: W sed a few ends are permitted to curi over thef forehead or in front of the ears. EXERICISE Exercises should be graduated ac- cording to age and physical condi- tion. Such a warning cannot be too emphatic for those of middle ags, nor is it to be totally disregarded by the voung. Games, mountain climbing, hill climbing, walking, golf and tennig are interesting and exhilarating and for most people are the exercises that are needed most. Outdoor exercises should be sought in addition te formal sys- tematic exercise. Any sort of calisthenics can be made much more interesting and effective if performed to music. A phonograph may be advantageously used for this purpose. Exercise done take almost the form of dancing. . Following are a few of the most simple exercises that will prove bene- ficial for most casesy 1. Arm Stretching—Arms stretched to full length, upward and in front of body, clagping books or fists clenched tightly. Bring arms back and side- wise as far as possible. Repeat ten to twenty times. 2. Shoulder Straightening—From the standihg position lean [forward with book in each hand and arms ex- tended, straighten the trunk and swing arms behind the hips. 3. Neck and Shoulder Stretching— Bring head and shoulders back as {a as possible, attempt to bring them still further back with a quick mevement. Relax and repeat ten to twenty times. 4, Knee-Chest—Clasp both hands, fingers interlocking over knee, arms at full length. Pull knee up to chest, resisting with leg. Repeat five to ten times with each leg. 5. Trunk Bending—Lie flat on back | and rise tgsitting position. 6. Tree Swaying—While in the stand- ing position Thrust the arms straight above the head, then sway from side to side, moving from the hips upward, the arms loosely swaving like tha branches of a tree. 7. Full Length—Stand arm's length from wall. Place both palms against the wall, then lean forward until the chest touches wall. Push back to orig- inal position. Repeat ten to twenty times. ‘ | straight po CONCERNING WOMEN In California there is a law requir- ing a minimum wage, of $16 for wo- men industrial workers. Miss Mary B*.W. Dweau, the only one of three ;women nominces to be elected to the Maryland Legislature in the recent elections, is a farmer. There are over 200 women enrolled as students in the School for Citizen- ship at Yale University. % The United Daughters of the Con- federacy has elected Mrs. Livingston D. Schuyler as president for the com- ing year. Miss Edith Strudders, a California girl, manages a “day old chick” farm where she tags and packs the chicks for market. Mrs. Catherine Dinklage is the first ‘woman to be elected to the city coun- el of Fort Wayne, Ind., ard if present plans are carried out she will be cho- sen to preside over the sessions of that body during the coming year. DICTATES OF FASHION Coiffure bands are replacing Span- ish combs. Gauntlet gléves either in kid or fab-) ric are more frequently seen than the short ones. Most of these have g strap. Fur trimmed dresses are much in evidence, monkey fringe or bands of squirrel or krimmer leading. Copper-toned net and spangles as well as copper laces are gaining in popularity. g Caracul continues to galn—ulack ¢a- racul being next to wolf the coat trimming most often seen. Red and all shades bordering on it continue to outnumber other colors, and white remains strong for even- ing. Dyed lace is used for evening frocks 1t is dyed green, red, blue or any other color that is desired, and it is'made up over tulle or crepe. Some of the frocks made of heavy cloth are belted with narrow cloth gir- dles, which are tied and hang in long tasseled -ends below the hem of the skirt, Fur hems are a part of some of the new suits. If there is a hem of fur there is, of course, a colar of fur to the Jjacket, and usually there are deep cuffs of fur. Hatpins have a decidedly decorative place on many of the new hats. They are made of jét pearl, jade and other colored stones. A black evening frock has a novel train consisting of a panel attached at the shoulders split into two parts, each ending in a long point finished with aj jet tassel on the floor, and caught in at the waist with a jet-girdle. TWO TONED UMBRELLA IS AGAIN IN FASHION The tow-toned umbrella of taffeta which has not been in evidence in several years has returned this season. It is obtainable in the combinations of cerise and hunter green, navy and hun- ter and blue and red. The newest thing in handles is the of amber or tortoise shell carved and filled with”gold or silver combined with color. Delicately traced motifs worked in this fashion ring the handle not far from the top. Straight handl, ith amber, a little ivory and less her, all with leather side straps, continue in vogue. Some of these hard- wood handles are topped with “nuts- kis" little real Chinese carvings in ivery. Real lizard skin makes an un- strap. The popular umbrella inches long. so that they clear the: ground when they are carried over the wrist. Bordered silks are used exten- ively and one of the smartest cffocts that in a purple umbrella with sat- border on the outside and striped ck and white border on the ipside bla PINK FOR SPRING Pink shades promise to be much in the mode for spring, and among these coquille pink is spoken of as one of the new ones. Some French lingerie dresses shown in handkerchief linen and batiste are made in a deep rosy shade of pink that is vastly bhecoming Ito the out-or-door complexion of the summer girl. At the moment red is good for eve- ning and the little semi-spores dre es that are shown in silks in yarious eaves have a leaning toward reds and ivid pinks. The deep fuchsia tones have faded | into heliotropes and orchids for spring and these colors are used in all types of homespun, to evening modes, in pale of dresses from the plain frock made | orchid beaded in darker beads of the { same tone. LAUNDRY HINTS Put clothespins in a small basket that has a hook made of wire on the han- dle. Slip the hook over the line and push the basket along as you hang the clothes. Fresh wine stains will come out if rubber well with salt. Let stand a few minutes, then rinse in cold water. If stain is old soak in warm milk. To save wear, tear and expense of laundering a tableeloth when a stain appears, leave the cloth op the tabie insert shallow dishes between asbes- tos and cloth at stained places and slowly pour boiling water over the stains until they are effaced. When dry enough withdraw the dishes, substitute a smau padded board and press the cloth into its original glossiness. Perspiration stains are a problem for many. It is best to take them out as soon as they appear. For all wash- able garments use soap and water and bleach in the sun. For unwasha- ble blouses mix one-half teaspoon pow- dered borax with one cup water. Wet a piece of absorbent cotton in this so- lution and rub spot with it. If stains will not respond tothistreatment try alcohol or ether. BABIES’ SHOES To clean infants' colored kid shoes that are solled or discolored, soak a cloth in sweet milk slightly warmed, then soap it on pure white soap and sponge on the slippers. Wipe off with a dampened flannel and dry carefully. They will have nearly their originai polish. CLEANING YOUR RAINCOAT Benzine sheuldn't be used in eclean- ing your raincoat. Neither should tur- pentine, for it will dissolve the rup- ber in the garment and utterly ruin it, To clean your raincoat, .spread it out pn the kitchen table, the longest bench you have or else clean it a por- tion at a time on your washing board.

He traveled unhindered to London, Faris and finally to Rome, where in the early spring of the folloving year. under the name of Watson, he enlisted in the papal zouaves and was sent on garrison duty 1o a post near the Neapolitan border.
