HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Vases, vinegar cruets and other bot ties may be cleaned with handful of raw rice in soapsuds vigorously shaken. The rice is better than shot for this purpose and polishes as well as cleans.
 pieces of crustless bread in the salad bowl when a French dreSsingiS used. The bread absorbs the extra dressing and is served of course, with the sal ad.
 A delicious salad may be made of celery root. Boil it until tender; then cut in dice-shaped pieces and mix with a little minced onion. Serve with French dressing on water cress or hearts of lettuce.
 A great deal of time will be saved the home dressmaker if she writes the name on every part of a pattern. Then should the separate pieces become misplaced it is simple matter to sort the patterns.
 If one wishes to remove an old paint spot from a woolen or cotton fabric, first cover with lard, to soften the paint. Then use turpentine to remove the paint. Use soap and wa ter to remove the lard spot.
 Keep a few marbles in the kitchen. When preserving or canning fruit or making jelly put them in the kettle. The boiling will keep the marbles moving and so prevent the contents of the kettle burning.
 A very pretty garnish is made by cutting a boiled beet around and around, much as one would pare an apple. Then put the vegetable back into it's original shape and shave 1t uaI.
 It is said if the upper sash of a window is drawn to the sill, the lower one pushed to within two or three inches of the top, of the window, it will give a good circulation in a sleep ing room, yet the draught will not be noticed.
 For a breakfast fruit serve steam ed figs occasionally. Cook them for hours in a double boiler, adding a heaping cupful of sugar and the juice of a lemon to pound of the fruit Add just enough water to cover the fruit in the cooking.
 In making a salad dressing in which onion is used for seasoning, it is very satisfactory to pour vinegar or lem on juice over the onion and let it stand for a few hours, the flavor of the onion is more delicate than if added directly.
 tragacanth in enough cold water to cover for twelve hours and scent with oil of olives. A teaspoonful of the oil of cloves is sufficient for a quart of paste. If the paste becomes thick, thin with a little cold water.
 A grater is well-nigh indispensable in the kitchen. If there is not one at hand the definciency may be made good by puncturing the top of bak ing powder can with nail. An inn provised grater of this sort will be found satisfactory for grating cocoa nut. potato or chocolate.

NOW HAS
 CHANGE OF HEART
Kaiser Through Official Or gans, Recognizes Uncle Sam's Rights In Gen.
 tral America
Special from United Press.)

Berlin. July 12-Germany today ex- perienced a complete change of heart regarding America's attitude towards her diplomatic, relation with Central and South American countries.
 Yesterday and this morning. those newspape which are known to be under the domination of the Foreign Office and which print no diplomatic news which is not sanctioned by the highest officials of the government, de- clared in harsh language that Germany would never submit to American super vision of her relations with those countries under the protection of the Monroe Doctrine.
 This afternoons papers. known to be equally under the control of the For eign Office, take an entirely different tack, declarinug that Germany recog- niZes the right of the United States to maintain her self appointed guardian ship over Central and Southern Amer ican countries.
 That the German government, through it's Foreign Office, realized that it has gotten itself into an unpleasant situation with America, is manifested by another statement, issued today, which draws attention to the fact that the Danish, Norwegian, Belgian, Swiss, Chilean and Argentine governments recognized Madriz as the valid presi- dent of Nicaragua before the Kaiser wrote his now famous Good and great friend'' letter

NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE

At least one big tire concern has branched out into building pneumatic tires for aeroplane wheels, which must be extremely light and resilient as we'll as str Ong enough to withstand the shocks to which they are sub jected.
 Although little attention, compara- lively speaking, has been paid to in terna1 combustion engines using crude petroleum as fuel in the United States, engines of that type approximating half million horsepower are in ser vice.
 Military authorities in Germany are testing a machine which combines features of the motor boat, automo- bile and aeroplane, being useful on water, on land and in the air, in the last instance with a lighter car than in the other instances.
 To initiate automobile tires with minimum of effort there has been brought out tank to be carried on a car to receive a portion of the ex- ploded gases from the engine, which thus are compressed and may be turn ed into the tires through a flexible tube.
