Queer Questions.

Queer questions come over the teIe-
phone to the newspaper Offices. Here
was one that the man who CHANGED
to answer the phone had put up to
him the other day:
Say" began the unknown seeker
after the truth, do you-do you re-

newspaper man, who put in several
years at Sunday school, Who'd ju

other end in an annoyed tone, "doggon

Still another use for automobiles.
The town of Jamaica, l. l.. had an
unpleasant time when a main burst
and the water supply was shut OF
completely. To say nothing of the an
noyance, inconvenience and danger in
private dwellings. the orphan asylum
and other institutions were subjected
to especially distressing experiences.
To meet at least partially the demand
an automobile service was organized,
the machines going with tanks, bar
rels and other receptacles to points
where water could be obtained and
bringing 1t to those in need. This was
at best but a poor substitute for the
regular system, yet it proved that in
time of stress the auto is valuable
auxiliary.

Chiffonier Useful In Sewing Room.
In the sewing room try having a
chiffonier. A very cheap pine one
will do. Use the top drawer for
needles, buttons, pins. tape, bones,
etc. The thousand and one things
that are always being lost Use one
drawer for mending, one for new ma
terials. and one for remnants which
have been left when you were sewing.
All of this is little or no trouble 70

when you know just where to look for
any given article. Don't go over the
same ground several times each day
When you are working in one part of
the house get all Of the work in that
part done and then go to another
room and finish there. Have broom,
dust cloth, dust pans and an entire
cleaning outfit upstairs and you will
be saved the constant drain of run

things are simple, but they save many
steps during the year and much time

LACE HEADPIEcE A NOVELTY
Becoming Innovation That Bids Fair
to Retain Popularity for Some
Time.

One of the features for the hats for
formal wear is the round piece of lace
that is attached to the inside of
large shape just as bandeau is used
1t falls in soft folds over the hair and
looks quite like the lacy edge of-saVe
the mark!-a breakfast cap. But you
have no idea of the becomingness Of
this innovation. Pretty features ap-
pear more lovely under the softening
halo of tulle or lace, and other faces
are vastly improved by the medium be-
of a large hat
Black, white or metallic lace is used
for this frill that is arousing comment.
Tiny rosebuds Of narrow ribbon or
small silk flowers are worked into the
lace, lessening the contrast and harmo-
nizing with the plumes or lace trim
ming on the outside of the chapeau.
The ruftIe is about two inches wide. 1t
is attached before the lining is adjust
ed, although a few milliners have ar
ranged for a change of lace by series
of loops and buttons.
How did this originate? Why, prob
ably from the fancy turban headdress
of lace trimmed with flowers that
Parisiennes wore in the summer in
evenings. At all events. sustained by
the knowledge that hat with this in
ner frill was awarded first prize at the
great exhibition Of chapeaux, it comes
as something new and bids fair to be
adopted.

A Trimming Revival.

The ribbon lacing Of a decade ago
Is being much revived. This is much
used on simple house gowns, tea
gowns or negliges. The buttonholes
may be cut in the material and work
ed with heavy buttonhole twist to
match, or if broad ribbon is used the
openings can be bound in bias silk or
velvet. These are newer than crochet
rings covered with heavy twist or
rope silk to match the costume.
A soft, pliable ribbon is used much
wider than the buttonhole, so it falls
into folds. The ends are drawn to a
point with a gold or silver tassel or
ornament.

Engineers at work on the Panama
canal propose to leave az little as
possible to chance. They are now en-
gagged in experiments to determine
the effect of sea water on concrete,
an enormous quantity of which is en-
ployeI in the construction of the canal.
Concrete in different stages of prep
aration and with various forms of
protection will be subjected to the ac-
ton of the salt water and the results
will be carefully noted. Probably
there never was a great undertaking
of this kind in which so many pre-
cautions were taken to guard against
future risk.

SOME GOOD SALADS
POSSIBLY HERE ARR A FEW YOU
MAY NOT KNOW.
Calves Brains, Properly Prepared,
Make a Delicious Sunday Night
DIsh-ceIery Roots Another
Very Appetizing Salad.

Calves brains, plainly boiled in salt
and water. chilled on the ice, cut in
small dice and served on a bed of ten
der lettuce with mayonnaise make a
| delicious dish for Sunday night
When there is no olive oil in the
house a hot salad may be made of
! lettuce and bacon. Fry the bacon
! which must be cut in cubes-a deli
! cate brown, then throw 1t and the
! greese all over the lettuce. adding
salt and pepper as needed. Use hot
vinegar.
! Canned Pimentos-Spanish peppers
make salad as good to eat as it is
beautiful to look at. Open the can,
! let 1t stand fifteen minutes for odors
to escape and then turn contents in
to collander, running the cold water
over the rosy vegetables. Give them
a good wash, then drain carefully, and
chill them thoroughly on the ice.
Serve on lettuce dressed with mayon-
na1se or French dressing. If the fam
lily is small whole can of the pimen-
tos will not be needed, but what is
left over from the salad will keep in
the Ice box. The washing is neces-
sary to get off the slime of the can
ming juices.
celery roots make very satisfac-
| tory salad for those who want to feel
that they are really eating something.
They must be peeled and boiled till
tender, thoroughly chilled and dressed
with French dressing-olive oil. vine
gar, salt and pepper. OF course the
lettuce bed makes pretty finish and
adds note Of taste to the salad
When the larder runs very dry, If
there are only some stale white bread
In the house and a bit of garlic or
onion. still another salad is possible.
Toast the bread until 1t is hard all
through, cut it up in small squares and
rub one with a cut of onion or Glove
of garlic. Dress with French dressing
an hour before eating so the oil can
soak in and if there are two pieces of
pimento left from the can already
mentioned add them to the dish. This
may seem a little messy to look at,
but 1t will taste all right
A sweet orange salad which turns
out very ornamental dish is made
by cutting the fruit in round, thin
slices and using rum and sugar for
the dressing. A banana salad, which
should be cut in lengthwise slices
and put on lettuce, would be dressed
with sugar and lemon juice. Capers
add a very excellent note to potato
salad. and give it pretty look, while
any species of lettuce may have the
usual taste immensely varied with
raw egg dressing. Beat the egg, white
and yolk together. till it runs freely;
add three teaspoonfuls Of sugar, salt
and pepper to taste, and tablespoon
full or more of cider vinegar. Then
