Making potato chips the Saratoga chips
Of commerce-is one business that is not
In danger Of being monopolized by any
concern. In most Of the cities will be found
half a dozen or more small establishments
where 1t Is probably conducted.
1t does not require much equipment. In
q typical establishment are half a dozen
women busily engaged in peeling the tubers.
There is a machine that does the trick
nicely, but most Of the manufacturers pre-
fer hand labor. An expert peeler can dis
pose Of the potatoes jacket in almost az
short q time as can the machine. A Ave-
gallon measure stands on q chair by each
worker. A special kind Of knife is used,
which rips of the skin with absolute ani-
formitv.
The chipping or slicing Is done By ma
chinery. Usually hand power is employed.
The potatoes are dumped into a hopper,
and by turning the handle 1t requires but a
few minutes to slice them into hits OF the
required thinness. Thase fall In a pile and
from there are shovelled into the vat.

operating a lever controlled by a piece OF
rope at the end. In this vessel are placed
the slices. A hot fire Is kept going during
the browning process, and the liquid is
stirred constantly to prevent burning; In
mass turned out into a big tub.
The product finds the readiest sale In the
summer months. This, II Is explained, is
due to the fact that women don't like to stand
potatoes in the ordinary way. Twice as
many chips are sold in the heated term as
during the winter.
Lard is not used in the process by the
best makers. This is because it makes

design and this device brings the whole
trimming together.
Gold and silver continues to be used,
though skilful ~dressmakers always handle
these trimmings sparingly, and the dull
metal tones rather than the bright arc
favored. Narrow gold or silver lace often
enters into the guimpe of a chic French
frock, and gold or silver yelled In creamy
lace is never ~unpleasantly vivid or crude.
Certain vslenoiennes lace motifs among
the trimmings make use Of this idea, being
backed by gold or silver edged by the

A model greatly admired at one opening

pink and with wafer dots in plain straw
color scattered over the MORE surface.
This little coat was associated with a
skirt of white null inset with straw colored
valenoiennes and the skirt materials were
repeated in guimpe and sheer frills. An
other frock had q girdled coat Of surah
shot in a soft dove gray and coral pink and
trimmed in gray cluny studded with pink
corals. Valenciennes Of creamy one was
mingled with the dyed cluny, and both

Day and capt. 10 c. Smithcr, has been
APPOINTED to meet at nine O'Clock sat
urday morning at Fort Ethan Allen TO
decide who will obtain tho detail to

Judging the saddle drill, the following
points viii Toe observed: First, this
drill is intended to show the horsCman-
ship Of the man and the training Of
the horse. Judges will note carefully
whether or not the drill as given is
such as to properly bring out those
points. \ drill requiring horses to
passage at a walk, trot and gallop,
hack. wheel by tours, etc, will better
Illustrate those points than one which
omits or but slightly attempts them,
and Judges should grade accordingly.
Second. as the drill will take place at
Madison square Garden before an aud
fence largely non military. il should
be of II character TO please those par
i!cular persons Judges Will note
whether or not the drill is OF such
form and variety as to fulhli those
conditions. In Judging the bareback
