BURNING THE TRASH
BEST DISPOSITION THAT CAN BE
MADE OF REFUSE.
Means a Saving of Money and Is the
Quickest Way Of Getting Rid OF
flashes to Make Walks
and Repair Roads.

A woman who lives in the country
will find she can save a great many
pennies by regulating household trash.
ashes. etc. Trash, for instance, Is an
expense in the country. because the
householder pays for having 1t carted
away. Therefore her economy comes
in having innammable stuff burned on
the premises. And as dry trash is
easily three-fourths of the refuse, she
saves just that much on carriage.
To hold trash there should be bar
rels and a firm mandate issued by the
head of the home that old tins. bottles
and everything non-burnable must be
nut into them. In the other barrel pa
pers, rags, etc. that usually fill the
household scrap baskets must be
placed.
One particular spot on the place
should be reserved for the holocaust.
1t will be a black and unsightly spot
and for that reason a retired Look
should be chosen. If there is none
the drive may be used, for after the
fire is out the gravel may be raked
over, so in a day or two all traces
of the fire are obliterated.
Whether or not there is a regular
day for burning depends upon the
housekeepers own routine. If a man
comes once a week to clean the
grounds he should attend to the bon
fire.
AS for ashes, unless they are very
coarse they make excellent walks in
the country. 1t is advisable to have
them sifted first. as some may be
burned later thereby reducing the
coal bill. Those left are cinders that
will pack down hard and smooth and
save buying gravel for walks and
drives. In this way whole path may
be made of ashes with a thin top
layer of gravel. This is a tip for per
sons building bountry homes on linn
tied incomes. They, as none others,
know that the financial demands of
the grounds are endless and this is
one way in which money may be
saved.
If one does not require ashes for
the grounds there are always country
roads in need of repair, where they
may be put. For instance, deep holes
may be filled with the cinders, or they
may be distributed evenly along the
wayside. Selectmen have no objection
to this, if the ashes are properly
placed, and many a dollar may be
saved.

or Craft Cloth.

The portiere may be mere play and
altogether possible to the veriest anna
teur If some simple idea be carried
out.
Make 1t Of arts and crafts cloth in
soft. natural tone, and after it is
hemmed with silk to match 1t work
row OF simple trees one above an
other down the length of the hanging
along one of its selvages.
Not IN elaborate embroidery. but in
the coarsest of cross-stitching done
in worsted yarn. and in combination
of dusky green and blue shades, each
so dull as to melt into one another
Again. If a one-toned curtain be de-
sirable. choose an Indian red dull
brown or blue, and using the coarse
worsted yarn, hemstitch broad hem
along a very open line which you
have drawn. or overcast the hem in
coarse hemming stitches a quarter OF
an inch In length.

TYPE OF SPRING MILLINERY
Hat with High Gathered Crown Most
Elaborately and Becominsly
Trimmed.

Among the early spring models Is
comfortable hat, becoming and well
fitting, made with high gathered
crown held out with an inner one OF
book muslin, and a fiuted brim of soft
moire This does not hang around the
face, but is made double and has
enough thickness to hold 1t In posi-
ton
About the high crown is tied a wide
scarf of soft satin ribbon. When black
is used for the hat then one of the
new light blues is used for the scarf.
Silver and gold gauze are also tied
around instead of ribbon and end in
fine, careless bow in front.
The expensive models show this hat
with a crown of lace moire shot with
blue, pink. and green and lined with
chiffon or gauze to match the color
of the scarf.

TIGHT SKIRT NOT GRACEFUL
Mistake Made In Carrying the Fash
lon of the Moment to Undue
Length.

A grave protest should be made
against the skirt that is narrow at
It's best and tied in Just above the
ankles at its worst. f
1t should be condemned and dis
carded by every woman who consid-
ers personal comfort and a graceful
appearance. There is an independent
quality of American women that re-
fuses to walk with knees pressed
together and a hampered Japanese
manner of taking tiny steps.
After all. there is a great artistic
delight in flowing skirt that follows
in soft, sinuous lines the motions of
the figures.
In Paris and London women have
accepted the inhibition of easy, grace
full motion, but 1t is to be hoped that
our fair ones will In some usual and
clever way attain the best of these
suggestions and at the same time
keep the senseless tyranny at arms
length.

Mr.. Mann Will Make Effort to Has.

The administration railroad bill. already

to the House by the interstate commerce
committee probably tomorrow. There
will be two reports-a majority report by
Chairman Mann and a minority report
which will be framed at meeting of the
democratic members Of the committee to-
night.
Chairman Mann will pilot the bill
through the House. There were numer-
Gus features in the bill as originally in
troduced by Representative Townsend OF
Michigan, including the commerce court
to which Mr.. Mann has been strenuously
opposed. but the bill has been emascu-

judicially determine whether q proposed
purchase or control OF another line is di-

and with relays of electric power plants,
and as far back as 1850 there had been

But before the contract was made the
department would have to be shown that
the contractor could keep UP to his sched-
ule. He would have to make certain
time, irrespective of wind or storms, and
If he could only average forty miles an
hour it would be a question whether even
by travelling in an airline he would be
able to make any better time than the

Zeppelin Type of Airship.
The Zeppelin. which is rigid type of
airship. has been developed to higher
point of efficiency than any of the other
dirigibles. The latest of these ships are
nearly 600 feet long and they have car
go capacity of twenty-five tons. The
longest time that one of them has yet re-
manned aloft was thirty-one hours. and
their longest voyage SO far has been $50
miles. improvements are being made In
them continually. but they are like any
other lighter-than-air machine-at the
mercy of the wind. The greatest speed
that has been actually measured is forty
miles an hour, and that with the wind
astern. and the longest voyages have been
made in an irregular course, according to
the air currents.
The building of one of these ships costs
about 100000. and the transportation to
this country, with the duty added, would
be half as much more.

A|RSH|P' LINE FOR MAILS
AERO CLUB PRESIDENT PRO
POSES NEW SCHEME.
Would Establish Transportation Fa-
cilities in Air Which Will Cir
Gle the Globe.

TRANSPORTING the mails by airship is a
scheme that has again been suggested to
the Post Office Department. This time
the protector Is A. Brodbeck, president OF
the Aero Club of Utah. He says that he
il already in negotiation with Count Yep
pelin for one of his rigid dirigibles. Mr..
Brodbeck does not want to be confined
by a little thing like the limits of the
United States. His proposal is to start
an airship line that will run from New
York to London by way Of Peking and
Moscow He says he can make forty
miles an hour. and that 1t would be a
great saving in time and cost of trans
portation.
Post Office omcials Reply.
The letter was received at the post Of
fice and answered formally, as all such
letters are. Mr.. Brodbeck was told that
his plan would be given full consideration,
but It was pointed out that the post Of
Ace had no money for experiments. and
it was even questionable whether any Of
the appropriations OF the department
would be available in paying for the
service.
In his application to the department
Mr.. Brodbeck speaks very confidently
He says that the practicability of the
Zeppelin type OF airship has been proved
beyond question. He maps out a route
across the United States, taking in New
York. Chicago, Omaha, Salt Lake City,
Denver, San Francisco, Seattle, Fort
Picking. Irkutsk. Omsk. orenburg. Mos

A Variety of Questions.
Dear Miss Doom:

lear MISS DOoh.
Kindly give me advice. When l
massage my race with a certain lotion
1t seem$ to a " red spots n
blotches. I have a soft, clear COM
plexion. When coming HON from an
entertainment with a young man is it
.proper to invite hin to enter the house?
Do you hin it proper to have kissing
games at a party? EIGHTEEN.
1t is likely hat the lotion is too
strong. If your skin is soft and clear
why bother with lotions? Keep it clean
by washing every night with hot water,
rinsing thoroughly, and then bathing
it in cold water until the pores are
tightly closed. About once a week
cleanse 1t with a good cold cream.
1t would not be necessary to invite
the young man to come in. He would
not expect it If the hour was late.
kissing games at a party are not
exactly improper. if the parents of the
hostess sanction them, but they are
decidedly in bad taste. l would not
permit them if I were you.

Continued from yesserday.)

1t was not until he had actually
lust of the earth from his feet and
taken to the sky as his abode, that his
wound had healed. The three months
that he had spent in this upper Arctic
air, awning for sixteen hours out of
twenty-four, had Gained him. put his
nerves In tune again; given him for
men and their affairs a quiet indiffer-
ence, in place of the smarting contempt
he had been hugging to his breast be-
fore. Three months ago, at sight of
those little human dots crossing the
glacier, he would have wheeled aloft
and gone sailing away. Even a month
ago he would hardly have hung, soar
ing there, above the fog, waiting for Il
to lift again the veil of mystery which
it had drawn across the tragic scene ht
had just witnessed.
The month was August, and the long
Arctic day had already begun to know
it's diurnal twilight. A fortnight age
the sun had dipped, for the first time
below the horizon. By now there were
four or five hours, out of every twenty
four, that would pass for night.
The sun set while he hung there in
the air, and as it did so, with a new
slant of the breeze the fog rolled itseli
up into a great violet-colored cloud
leaving the earth, the ice, the sea un.
yelled below him. And there, in the
open water of the little bay, he saw 6
ship and on the shore a cluster Of
rude huts.
1t struck him, even from the height
at which he scared, that the ship, tied
to an ice-1oe in the shelter of the
great headland, did not look like 9
whaler, nor like the sort of craft which
an Arctic explorer would have selected
for his purposes. 1t had more the trim
smartness of a yacht.
They were probably all asleep dowr
there, he reflected. 1t was nearly mid
night and he saw no signs of life any
where. He would drop down for
nearer look.
He descended, with a sudden hawk.
like pounce, which was one of his more
recent achievements in the navigation
of the air, checked himself again a.
about the level of the masthead with {
flashing, forward swoop, like a mar
diving in shallow water; then. witt
a sudden effort, brought himself III
standing, his planes nearly vertical
and, with a backward spring. alighted
clear of his wings, on the ice-fioe jas
opposite the ship.
AS he did so he heard a little sur
prised cry, half of fear, half of aston
ishment. 1t was a girls voice.
