President Harding will have the country with him in his laudable ef- forts to brind to an end the strike of rallroad shopmen. The plan which it is reported he has lald before them will certainly put upon both the railroad executives and the strikers the great pressure which he alone can exert. The strike has reached the stage now where it is apparent that it could bLe settled in twenty-four hours if both sides would submit to arbitration the question of seniority rights. Both sides agree that all the other issues Involved may be referred back to the railroad labor board for rehearing, but neither is will- ing to submit the seniority question to the same treatment by the same tribu- In support their refusal the leaders argue that they cannot ord to go back to work with their sen- fority rights in doubt, while the rail- road executives contend that the restora- tion of those rights would be unfair to w employes, an encouragement to strikes in the future and likewise unfair old employes who remained steadily work. The people of the United States do not the idea of continued impair- of rallroad service, with its con- sequent crippling of industries to which the malntenance of transportation is vi- tal. What g wanted everywhere is a resumption of the rallroad shop work and a relief from the threat to transpor- tation while hundreds of locomotives go out of commission every day for want of repair work. Should President Harding’s plan urge the submission of the senmiority issue to arbitration, the people would feel that he was selecting the American way for the settlement of the dispute, and thay would stand solidly behind him in any attempt he might make to compel a re- samption of the shop work during a settlement through arbitration. What is wanted is a resumption of la- r with the submission of the seniority issue to arbitration, along with the other of ment REHABILITATION WORK. The recent charges by an American Legion officlal that the veterans' bureau Is falling in its rehabilitation work for the disabled eoldlers Invites attention to anything that the government may have done forward rehabilitation work. Possibly the most significant accom- plishment in this line has been in the bullding of soldler hospitals since con- gress provided $18.600,000 for this pur- pose In tha early spring of 1921. The under the treasury depart- nt, completed one hospital a month for fourteen months. providing 4,790 more government-owned beds for the veterans' bureau for treating all classes of patlents, including those suf- fering frem tuberculosis and mental dis- eases. Wken the present administration #hall have been in office eighteen months twenty hospitals will have been com- pleted, equipped with a total of 6,300 beds at a cost of $19.000,000. With four other hospitals which are to be com- pleted, approximately $25,000,000 will bave been spent for buildings and equip- ment and 8,000 beds will have been pro- vided for the veterans who offareq their Al in the world war. The veterans' burean is not without s problems in trying to help the dis- wbled soldler back to nermal life, not the least of which is the indifference of the man who is to be helped. The vet- ns' bureau ls finding this out. Its problem is complicated by the fact that It is dealing with grown men. On the whole, it appears to be doing as much s can, in falrness, be expected, and the best evidence of ith success is the large number of satisfled men it is send- g back to useful employment. FOR NO MORE WAR. Thousands of mass meetings held all wer the country Saturday and Sunday, an the anniversary of the beginning of the great war, were meant to give ex- pression to the voice of the people that there shall be no more war. This is a sentiment that has been known to exist for a long time, and Is believed to be growing, even while the horrors of the world war are being dimmed by the pass- \ge of time. ‘We @ not need to change sature in order eeepted human to abolish war as an institution,” declares the Na- tonal Council for the Reduction of Armaments, “any more than the last generation needed to change human na- mre to abolish the institution of slav- wy.” Slavery was abolished at the ex- sense of a great war, and three years wnd a half ago a very large part of the world hoped that at the expense of a meat war, war had been abolished. Na- Honal jealowsies and antagonisms per- uisted, however, and war still prevails. Yo doubt small wars will prevail for a ong time, but if big wars can be abol- lshed the main purpose of the “war to md war” w be accomplished, and .in fime even e small clashes, the wars bat really only exaggerated riots, :an be prevented, The council in a petition to the pres- ident suggests three steps to bring about permanent world peace: American rec- ognition of the world court at The Hague; an economic conference called by the president:; and the outlawry of war by international agreement. Surely the United States, which has agver desjired war, wishes no more war. ks the richest and most powerful na- .referring to the Far Eastern Republic should come as near being conclusive as 2 national voice can be. Joined with the other great powers of the world the possibility of making war very near to an impossibility is not a remote one, but a near on AN IMMIGRANT'S PLAN. Out of his own experience as a new arrival on these shores forty years ago, James J. Davis, United States secretary of labor, has proposed a new immigra- tion law. It is related authentically that after the Davis family arrived at New York, having come over in the steerage, they were robbed of most of their money and two feather beds, and that the immigrant boy got a hot, hard job in a steel mill. Two of the provisions in the new law he proposes seem obviously wise and beneficent. One is that immigrants should be examined physically, mentally and morally and submitted to blood tests at the port of debarkation instead of after arrival in America. Those found unfit to be recelved here would be saved time and money and the pangs of disap- pointment at being turmed back after arrival. It is proposed also by Secre- tary Davis that immigrants should be enrolled for training and Americanlza- tion immediately after thelr arrival This would at once provide for their de- velopment along right lines as American citizens and also serve as a protective measure and neutralizer against the propaganda of revolutionary radicals, anarchists and bolshevists. The secretary of labor speaks of things he knows In proposing this new immigra- tion law. for his experience and patri- otic purpese give his recommendations an authority that makes them well worth; heeding. “COGNEE THE BALTIC STATES, Complete reversal of the policy of former President Wilson is seen in the recognition by the United States of the three Baltic states of Bsthonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This government had withheld this favor on the insufficient ground that the future free Russia should not be depleted of its possible constituent territories by the setting up of separate nationalities within its lim- its. This position might have been well in in Siberfa and to Russian Ukrainla, but it was not appropriate as referring to either of these three Baltic states. They stand on the same nationsl footing as Finland and Poland, whose right to sep-; arate sovereignty no one questions. They are peoples entirely distinet from each other and from Russia. Indeed, they are animated by a hostile sentiment towards Russia that extends back through the centurles. In thelr lan- guage, manners and aspirations tmey have never been otherwise than self-de- termined, though they were heid so long under the absolute dominion of the czar. There are still unsettled questipns of sovereignty between Poland and Lithu- ania, which the league of nations has been unable to reconcile, but since so much is made in Europe of American !n- fluence, it is conceivable that the United States government's official recognition of the Lithuanian [Republic may be of assistance to that country in maintain. ing its claim to what it regards as its proper ethnical frontier. At all events, it is probable that these Baltic states are all on the map to stay. Even the restoration of order, and a real, recognizable government in Russia would not now be likely to menace their separate existence. These ancient little peoples of the Baltic will have a chance to work out their destiny alongside, and under the wing, of the greater nations of the world. The recogmition of the Baltio states is perhaps the most important change that has been made in our relations tq Furope since President Harding cams into office. EDITORIAL NOTES. Russia now knows that the civilized world is a community of nations. Strikes are stone-age arguments. This age is boastfully termed an age of rea- son. —_— However, James K. Vardaman was a member of the in-bad club before Mr. Wilson made it unanimous. The 32-cent tariff on wool has now been definitely passed on to the confer- ence for revision downward. The operators and the coal miners seem principally concerned in finding points upon which they cannot agree. Manila offers this country 20,000 to: of coal a month. Also cigars and rope. Manila is prepared to furnish smokes of all kinds. The yeggman who was caught work- ing on his third safe in the same night must have his seniority rights well es- tablished. When it is stated that large quantitiss are to be imported from Scotland it should be remembered that it has ref- erence to coal and not something else. s arranging for Ameri- can dates. He can live on them without other food resources for a long time, though he's not yet quite a vegetarian. Paderewski ——— Now that the claim is made that Im- moderate drink of water will cause in- toxication is it to be expected that there will be a grand rush for the water wag- on? The man on the corner says: Scared half to death by threat of no coal, the consumer will be in poor condition to re- sist the solar-plexus blow when he hears prices quoted. Human minds run in the same chan- nels when they run at all. That is why 10,000,000 tourists this summer have | written “Wish you were here’ on post- cards. By moving his dinner schedule up a little he farmer can get his family outf in his motor car Sundays before his| friends drive from the city to disturb| his Sunday quiet. Citronelia, cedar oil and camphor mix- ed are recommended by the state college of agriculture at Ithaca to keep mos- quitoes away. Of two evils choose the lesser one. Many will prefer the mos- quitoes. “He's only dangerous’ when he sits down at & typewriter and writes out his emotions,” is the modified complaint of Governor Allen against William Allen White in Kansas. It's a long range duel with no casupalties yet. Mayor Curley of Boston scents politics and forbids the showing of a film of a raid in Chinatown with District Attor- ney O'Brien, an anti-Curley man, in tha foreground as a fearless vice fighter. The film is in the unedifying class any- SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE A ham is greatly improved if af- ter being boiled it is wrapped in but- tered paper and baked for an hour. In creaming butter and sugar, if the butter is hard never warm it—it malies the cake coarse. Warm the sugar or the bowl instead. Silver or gold jewelry may be sat- isfactorily cleaned by adding a tea- spoon of ammonia to a cup of water and applying with a rag. An extra amount of cream may be obtained from milk by first heating the milk until lukewarm. and then immediately chilling it. Every parti- cle of the cream will rise to the sur- face. To soften hard butter, heat a bowl with boiling water and turn the emmp- ty bowl over the butter. This will not impair the taste of the butter. One way to refurbish an ivory toil- et set that has become spotted and scratched is to give it a coat of paint of some delicate color. It is astonish- ing how the pieces respond to this treatment. #¢ possible, use pastry flour for making biscuits. Lemon seeds, planted in a flower pot, grow quickly and form a pretty decoration for the window. The leaves are good for flavoring sauces, etc. To kill the odors of cooking, put a few pieces of charcoal tied with a piece of white cheesecloth in cabbage, on- ions or similar dishes. This will be a great help in reducing the odor. The best way to teach a child to be honest is by always telling him the truth. Encourage him to do like- wigse and let him see that you are living up to your responsibilities. Your geraniums will blossom better if you pour hot coffee into the sau- cers of the flower pots each morning. HOW TO SAVE GAS Do not use a gas mantle after it has been broken. Never heat a kettleful when a quart will do. A gas flame, which overlaps the side of a cooking utensil is positive waste. Keep flame tips and water heater burners about one-fourth to three- fourths of an inch long. A long, yellow, smoky flame is very wasteful; a small blue flame is much better and requires less gas. Copper coils on the water heater should be kept bright and clean. See that the door fits closely when shut. of water CLEAN CANVAS SHOES To clean white convas shoes place them on boot trees or stuff the shoes full of newspapers rubbed between the hands until they are soft, Next scrub the shoes with hard white soap and a little warm water. Then mix pipe clay with water to a stiff paste, apply with a clean white flannel cloth, and let dry. When dry rub slightly with clean white flannel. REMOVING PAINT Turpentine or gasoline is usually ef- fective in removing paints or varnish. If the color is delicate soften with oil and apply chloroform. Bleaching agents should be used with care. Javelle water is useful in bleaching but it is injurious to fab- rics unless it is carefully used and thoroughly removed by rinsing in water in which ammonia has been added. To prepare javelle water mix one pound of washing soda dissolved in two quarts of cold water. Bottle and keep in a dark place. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Anoint the shoulders and arms with a good cream before bathing and thereby help to prevent sunburn. Orange juice is desirable in chil- dren’s diet. There are many delicious drinks to be made with orange juice as a basis. The fresh oranges must, of course, be used. Incessant crying is usually due to earache or hunger: it frequently, too, is caused by the pricking of a pin—an unfastened safety pin or other me- chanical irritant. One rarely hears a healthy child cry unless a harsh word, a fall or a blow cause a transient grief, anger or pain. To ease tender feet rub them at night with a cut lemon or a little methylated spirit. Dust in the morn- ing with boracic powder. See that your shoes fit well without pinching and do not slip about round the an- kles. In France women are dressing the hair to make the head look as small as possible. The locks are pulled straight back and coiled at the neck with the greatest simplicity. There is a tendency over there to keep the outline of the head small, but the hair is arranged softly about the face. This is much more flattering to the ay- erage woman. NOVEL POWDER PUFF A pretty novelty powder puff is made to look like a little basket. Al pond lily shaped flower is sewed to the top of the powder puff, a tiny frill of lace sewed around and between the frill and the flower the basket handle is inserted. This consists of narrow elastic, over which pale green ribbon is shirred. And it makes a con- venient handle to slip the hand through when powdering. PLEATED CUSHIONS Cushions are becoming more beau- tiful and more extravagant as the days progress. The very latest are made of pleated shot taffeta, the pleat- ings beginning from the center out- wards to either a round or square shape. Large gold tissue roses usual- 1y nestle in the middle of these crea- tions with gold cord binding the edges. Cushions made like great silk roses, with wide-spread petals, are also to been seen, while others have frill up- on frill of lace, and these are most popular for boudoir use. ‘Through the square or round pleat- ed cushions would be beyond the abil- ity of an amateur needlewoman, thers is ng reason why the bolster and long pillow shape should not be made at home. Allow three times as much silk as needed for a plain cushion, and have it pleated at a shop where they specialize in such matters. When it comes home, and before attempting to make it into a cushion, lightly tack all the pleats in place. Sew carefully when joining the two sides together and cover the joins with thick cord, tying it in loose tassel ends at each corner. A spray of gold roses may be placed across one corner. FOR TINY BATHERS No longer does the little 4-year-nid | scramble on the sands in a shapeless bathing suit. The little lady nowa- days wears a chic one-piece suit of Jade or blue or crimson, rakishly banded with braid in black, white or pale blue. Not infrequently she wears a suit embroidered in white, after a quaint French pattern, and often the background for the pattern is a jer- sey suit of brilliant rose. Her hat is a jersey suit of brilliant rose. Her hat is a twist of gay bandanna or a floppy creation. DICTATES OF FASHION Magpie combinations in shoes for stréet and dress are popular. Blond veils are worn as drap black Milan hats. on WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN trimmed in white. Cotton dresses have come out in force. Dark crepe dresses have been brightened by the addition of lingerie collar and cuff sets. The fad of wearing one flower on the tip of the left shoulder appears to be growing and is varied by the use of an ornament in the same po- sition. Medailions of white with clever lit- tle black silhoueite motifs are used at the draped side of blazk crepe dresses Bright flannel sports coats, unbelt- ed and usually sleeveless, ara worn a good deal at country clubs. While the self-fringed wool sparts skirt leads, the suburban towns all ‘have their quota of sports satin skirts. Many smart dresses have their skirts cut out in a circular movement and joined to an almost normal waist- line. ‘White woile, organdie and organdie dresses are embroidered in color. A complete costume of fine soft lace in a toast-brown shade with softly draped wide hat and full skirt- ed dress was noted at a smart restau- rant. A cinder gray dotter Swiss frock with frequently fairly wide bands of self color grosgrain ribbon running lengthwise, was topped with a straw matching shape almost hidden by fold- ed velvet ribbon in dark brown, cinder and deep salmon. Many smart dresses have their skirts cut in a circular movement and joined to an almost normal waistline. This year some fine tucking wisely applied is frequently used and but- tons as trimming are also to be seen. while a discreet amount of braiding on collars and cuffs in metal braid is decidedly smart. WAISTHOLDERS Buy a pretty figured ribbon about an inch wide, cut int ostrips four and a half inches long, pass each piece through an ivory ring and fas- ten in the center. At the opposite end of this loop sew a medium sized safe- ty pin of good quality. To use run the safety pin through the belt of the waist and hang the ring on a nail in the closet. EFFECTIVE DRAPES New portieres are double faced, sewed back to back and French hem- med. Velours in delightful combina- tions of blue and mulberry, blue and taupe or all one tone are obtainable. Gray is In high favor for draperies as well as furniture and wall cover- ings. HOME DRESSMAKING Girdles of all kinds being so stylish for the one-piece frock, the clever needlewoman can_easily design some individual omes. Rings of iwory are used to string picot-edged ribbon with gold strung through half a dozen rings at the back and worn with a pongee slipover. Fancy braids are braided together for the same purpose, and the ends looped and finished with beads, tas- sels, buttons or stuffed balls’ LAUNDRY HINTS After washing flannel or woolen good dry them as quickly as possible, preferably in a fairly strong wind. This will go a long way towards pre- venting them from shrinking. ¥ a lump of soda is dissolved in the blue water on wash day there will be no danger of the bluing mark- ing the clothing. Mildew may be removed when fresh but is very difficult to remove if al- lowed to stand. Spread with a paste made of lemon juce, dissolved soap and salt and exposed to the sunlight. Mildew not too deeply set may be removed by soaking in buttermilk. Stains should be remoyed as soon after they appear as possible. They come out more easily when fresh and still moist. Soap and heat wil usual- ly set a stain; it is thus advisable to remove stains before washing. Removing stains usually consists 1n dissclving it, so .it is important to know the solvent necessary to remove a certzin stain. TO WASH DOWN QUILTS A warm soap lather should be made as for flannels. Well shake and brush the down quilt free from all dust and plunge into the lather, squeezing and kneading to free it from dirt. Rinse in warm water and gently squeeze it as free as possible from water before spreading over a towel horse to dry. Shake frequently during the drying process. Choose a windy day for the task, as it will improve the down to dry quickly. NEW USE FOR A DOWN QUILT During the summer months, when the eiderdown quilt is not required on the bed, it is a good plan to fold it carefully into a handsome pillow, holding the edges together by a few loose stitches all mound and slipping a cretonne or elaborate silk cover over it. Not only is it then of decora- tive value in the drawing-room or boudoir, but being censtantly turned about in its cushion form, moth is not likely to attack it so easily as when put away with winter woolies. It should however, be first well beaten and shaken to remove the dust from the folds and stitches, and an hour or so hung in the open air would do it a “world of good.” BABY’S CARRIAGE To do over an old baby carriage or stroller, remove upholstering and scrub thoroughly with a strong solu- tion of washing powder and ammonia. Let dry well and then apply a good coating of prepared enamel (dark blue or gray being the best for most). Paint the wheels black if preferred. Take a pattern from the old uphol- stering and recaver with poplin of the shade of the carriage. Tack in place with brass tacks, the heads of which have been painted the color of the body. DECORATION HINTS A good looking tray for either the dressing table, desk ¢r dining room can be made from the cover of a shoe box. Cover it completely with wall paper—a striped paper of dainty de- sign is attractively—and then fit in a piece of glass in the bottom to form the tray. If a piece of glass the right size cannot be found about the house a cheap picture, purchased for the glass alone. will answer nicely. Drape the window according to its shape rather than a passing fad, for a tall window with sides drapes is as badly proportioned as a tall per- son in stripes. CONCERNING WOMEN In Bohemia the bridal wreath is made of rosemary. Miss Blanche Cartwright, is Eng- land’s champion single sculler. In Paraguay the women outnum- ber the men by about five to one. Public benches are reserved for women and children on the boulevards in Paris. Irene Beacham and Leola Lewis of Boston have started on a trip on foot to the Pacific Coast. .

Soot stains should be covered with kitchen salt and well brushed LAMP SHADES Lamp shades are much less color- ful and figured than they used to be, and they tone much better into the general scheme of the room. Ivary- colored shades of silk or parchment have become popular for befvoom use. They fit admirably into the chintz- ‘hung room. RECIPES Fish Souffle—Chop any kind of cold fish finely and shred it so that it is in tiny flakes (there should be about three-quarters of a cup of it, although one-half cup will do. Put one-half cup of stale bread crumbs into a saucepan with two-thirds of a cup of sweet milk and let boil for five minutes; then add the flaked fish, one tablespoon of butter, salt to suit taste, remove from range, and fold in ‘the stiffly beaten whites of t{wo eggs. Now turn the mixture into four small individual baking dishes and place these in a shallow pan containing hot water. Cover all with buttered paper and place the pan in a moderate oven. Let bake till the souffle is firm, then turn the molds out on to a hot platter and serve with a plain hot, white sauce. Potato Pie—Boil till tender four peeled and sliced onions, then drain and place in a baking dish with six or eight cold cooked and sliced pota- toes. Add one teaspoon of chopped parsley, one tablespoon of butter in little bits, salt and pepper to suit taste, and a drop or two of tomato catsup. Put an inverted cup in the mid- dle of the dish (not letting any of the mixture get under it) and place over all a crust. Famous Literary Mysteries WHERE DID MANDEVILLE GET HIS FACTS? Sir John Mandevilie startled Bu- rope during the middle of the four- teenth century by publishing a book of travels in which he gave the his- tory of countries then unknown and of peoples never before heard of; and, in fact, to this day some of these countries and people are no better known than they were in his time, and were undoubtedly the invention of a remarkably fertile mind. Mandeville was born in 1300. He left home when he was twenty-two years old, and for thirty years noth- ing was heard of him. When he re- turned he published his “Book of Travels'. So graphically was he able to describe everything he said he had seen that no one doubted his state- ments. In fact, it was several hundred years before it was recognized that he was purely a faker, and that per- haps he had never traveled more than a hundred miles in his life. ‘When Mandeville returned from his supposed journey with wonderful st ries to relate, people flacked to him from near and far and near, and for some time he was in great demand as a lecturer. ‘When Mandeville returned from his supposed journey with wonderful stor- ies to relate people flocked to him from near and far, and for some time he was in great demand as a lecturer. At the time Mandeville wrote scien- tists believed that the. earth was flat, and odd as it may seem the faker de-l clared that he had discovered that it; was round. It seems strange how he happened to blunder into a great truth more than a century before Columbus discovered the same thing. And still more strange, this part of his romantic travels is the one that was most dis- believed, and which really led to his be- ing branded as an imposter, although it was one of the very few truthful things that he told. But there were so many people who belifeved in what Mandeville wrote that geography, natu- ral history and the accounts of impos- sible animals as he described them, were solemnly taught in the schools of the day. Even as late as the seventeenth century Shakespeare presumably believ- ed in him, for he makes “Othello” speak of having seen in his travels the same eights that Mandeville describes. No one has ever learned just where Mandeville gained the fact and fiction which he Introduced into his book. He must have had access to various sources of information and an acquaintanceship with persons who had traveled consid- erably, otherwise he would have been unable even—rascal as he was—to have written such ylvid descriptions. So little is known of Mandeville, or anything regarding his life and death, outside of what is contained in his book, that his existence is even doubted. ‘Whence. then. came. the book of trav- els? The doubtérs believe that they were, in a large part. compiled b:® a Liege physician known as Johairs a le Barbe. Even before his death the | tum, and a few other similar works.

There is no contemporary English men- tion of any English Kright named Je- har de Mandeville, nor are the said to have been on the Liege tomb like any known Mandeville tomb. But, on the other hand, it seems re- markable that s0 many writers of more or less fame have accepted the Mande- ville travels as authentic. Washington Irving in his “Columbus and His Com- panions,” says: “Mandeville has become proverbial for indulging in a traveler's exaggeration; yet his account of the countries he visited have been found far more veracious than had been imagined. His description of Cathay. the wealthy province of Mangi, agreeing- with those of Marco Polo, had great weight with Columbus.” But in spite of this, it would seem that those of his writings which do not consist of imagination are culled from the travels of a German kright, William of Boldensele, the Journal of Friar Oder- ie, the Journey of Johannes de Piano Carpini, the History of the East by He- of the Today’s Anniversaries 1830—The Pontiac and Detroit rai road was chartered, the first in- corporated railroad within the limits of the old Northwest Ter- ritory. 1839—Henry Ward Beecher became pastor of the Second Presbyte- rian Church in Indianapelis. 1846—Two hundred Mormon immi grants, recruited in the United States arrived at San Francis- co in the ship Brooklyn. 1868—The Rupert's Land Act author- ized the acquisition by the Do- minion of the Northwest Terri- tories. 1872—British House of Commons sat comtinuously for 26 hours be- cause of obstruction by the Irish members. 1886—Abbe Franz Liszt, famous pi- anist and composer. died at Baireuth, Bavaria.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE One of the big men of finance in the Pacific-Southwest is Henry M. Robinson, of Los Angeles, who re- cently brought about a merger of banks operating in 24 cities in the southern part of California, with combined resourses of approximat ly $200,000,000. A native of Ohio, Mr. Robinson studied at Cornell Unive: sity and, after his four years in col- lege engaged in the practice of law and in banking operations in Youngs- town, O., and New York City, and was soon in demand as consultant in busi- ness organizations. In 1306 he took up his residence in California. During the war he served on the United States Council of National Defense in W ington. Later he was appointed a com- missianer on the United States Ship- ping Board. His public service also has included such posts as member for the United States of the First In- ternational Labor Conference chair- man of the commission in the settle- ment of the 1920 coal strike, and mem- ber of President Harding’s Unemploy- ment Conference in 1921. arms, RUSSIAN DRESSING THUMM'S DELICATESSEN 40 Franklin Street BOOKS On All Subjects All Kinds Subscription to all American and European Publications.
