SANDWICHES EASY TO MAKE
Picnic, Try the Follow

The picnic season-hence the sand

titles of these unfailing requisites are
requited, try the following plan and
see how easily this trying work can
be done: Cut the crusts from loaf
of bread with four strokes of sharp
knife-front, back and sides, then
cut the crustless loaf in half, butter
each half where you cut the loaf, slice
piece of bread from each half, put in
filling and the slices will exactly fit.
Proceed, cutting one slice from each
side of loaf Wrap in waxed paper,
and you will have dainty, symmetrical
sandwiches when the luncheon basket
is opened.
Place a napkin around the top of
the pineapple, give it a twist, and
the stem is removed. Lay pineap-

Hail.

Hail is the frozen precipitation from
the air that belongs to the summer
while snow belongs to the winter
Hailstones clash together in the air
and the sound Of an approaching ol
retreating hailstorm is very character
istic. Their large size permits them
to acquire great velocity while falling
and this makes a hailstorm destruc
tive. The prevailing theory as to the
formation of hail Is that powerful as
cending air currents carry raindrops
and ball snow upward. where they are
frozen and chilled, forming bodies on
which rapid condensation takes place
when they fall to a warm and moist
stratum below. This theory explains
the layering of structure often found
but does not explain q . angularity OF
many hailstones.

" HIS is the whitest of white sum-
mers, and everywhere the pre-
ponderance of white gowns
makes a background against
which millinery is displayed to the
very best advantage. The greater
number of hats are white also, but
not entirely. Plume-laden or flower
laden, they are adorned with exquis-
ite colors. Pink, in the coral, sea-
shell and other delicate tones; blue
in the natter and other grayish tints;
lilac, rose, green and cerise, are ia
vorites, and, just at the hour, yellow
has put in an appearance. In any
large gathering of women, out for the
summer evening, these colors, in the
livelieSt of shades are scattered in
q sea of white. For the entire cos
tune, from shoes to chapeau, of the
great majority is colorless, except for
the trimmings on the hats.
Two very beautiful white hats are
pictured here, which illustrate very
clearly the foregoing. The small hat
in white hair braid is decorated with
a band of gray net on which pattern
in white beads is wrought. The

Mr.. MantOn'S Methods
By CLAUDINE SISSON
(copyright. 1917. By Associated Literary Press)

Life was very easy for Gordon Man
ton, bachelor. He had the fortune left
by an aunt-he had very few worries
he was a bachelor with no thought
of marriage-he had no lads to keep
him awake at night.
Mr.. Manton could have spared the
money to build three or four free libra
ries, but he didn't build them. In a
vague way he realized that the world
ought to be made better, but he knew
that 1t was a sure thing the first man
he reproved for profanity would hit
him on the jaw. The poor suffered
for ice in summer and for coal In
winter; but the rich suffered from i'm
posters, thieves and burglars the year
round. and that appeared to be an Off
set
He had only to glance over his
morning paper. to see that this was q
very wicked world. 1t ought to be So
however. to furnish contrast to
Heaven. If the world were good
enough then what would become OF
the arguments OF priests and minis
ters?
One summer afternoon Mr.. Manton
lay down on the lounge for nap. He
knew that thousands Of the men
around him couldn't indulge In this
luxury and earn their bread at the
same time. but in sleepy way he re-
f1ected that those thousands had their
glasses of beer every night. while he
positively disliked the liquid. He had
slept for an hour when he quietly
awoke to find an intruder IN his room
1t was ragged girl Of fifteen. She
was down on her knees rifiing a bu
reau.
"If you knocked or rang ! didn't
hear you," he said as he sat up.
The girl rose up and looked him In
the eyes for half minute.

the window for me. You were sleep

Striped Coat Set.

Fine muslin, chiffon cloth, and mar.
quisette are all used to make collar
and cuff sets for short jackets. These,
with eyelet embroidered batiste, have
taken the place of Irish lace, which
seems at a discount these days.
The striped coat sets are in any
color that one wishes, not necessarily
to match the SUIT. The collar is quite
long, deep at the back, and finished
with an edge of cluny lace or a hem
of colored muslin or linen to match
the stripe.

but that was mere trife. They
wanted FIVE thousand dollars to give
him his liberty. Mr.. Manton didn't
rage. 1t was a straight business prop
osition. Only that day he had read
of thirteen members Of state legis-
lature being arrested for offering to
sell themselves. Was this crime
worse? He didn't charge that 1t was.
He simply refused to buy himself at
the sum named.
The kidnappers were not cruel men.
They simply wanted their money. They
fed their captive and waited with
what patience they could. And then
one night came Janet She entered
by the skylight, but her hands and
face were clean and her hair brushed.
She cast the captive loose and then
said:
81 amt stole a thing since that
day."
That's pretty fair" replied Mr..
Manton.
"And don't you think I look nicer?"
"You surely do"

"You rather be loved by a factory
girl than by a thief. know. I'm
thinking of you most all the time.
Well. we've got to shin up the rope
and make over the roofs"
Fifteen minutes later Mr.. Manton
was on the street and walking home
wards. He met several patrolmen and
passed two police stations. but he had
nothing to say. Janet's uncle and his
pal had tried to extort money from
him, which is a prison offense. He
passed hundreds of buildings whose
owners were squeezing the tenants
down to the last cent to pile up their
own profits. Why not a law to punish
them?
Two weeks later the bachelor re-
ceived scrawl on postal card which
read:
II guess you'll be glad to hear my
wages have riz to five dollars a week.
Janet"
Yes; he was glad. It was three
months before another card came. 1t
read:

week and / have bow. but I'm low

Then a year passed. and third
card announced a 'riz" to eight dol
lars and more love" and four months
later the climax:
Il am now the lady. and have got
married to Tony Griggs. but he says
may still love you. Respectfully, yours.

And II I had preached reform to

POLITICIANS PRESS AGENTS.

Press agents for political aspirants are
beginning to get busy sending political dope
to the various newspapers with the view of
having the same published without cost.
These press agents are paid princely sums
for their services, and their services consist
in writing dope, not a word OF which IS cor
rect, but so worded that even the publisher
will be taken in by it. The weekly press
Of the state has been imposed upon by the
politicians since the mind of man rlnneth
not to the contrary and it is about time to
call a halt We suggest that publishers OF
weekly papers consign all press agent dope
to the waste basket unless the same is paid
for at regular advertising rates. There is
plenty Of things to fill your papers with
besides political dope of candidates, at the
expense of the newspaper publishers Mr.
A. or b. may not be the candidate Of the
daily papers with trust leanings, but Mr.. A.
or Mr. b. is not the candidate OF the weekly
papers only so far as Mr.. A. or Mr.. b. can
work them and the sooner the weekly press
gets wise to that the sooner will the publish
ers thereof be considered in the political
game The newspaper publisher has space
to sell and lives thereby. The chronic Of
flee seeker has no more right to expect that
space to be given him than do business
houses and it is not a business proposition
for the publisher to give it, the foWery
press agents to the contrary notwithstand-
ing
When the management Of one of the daily
papers of Seattle was asked few days ago
by prospective candidate for public office,
what attitude would the paper take toward
his candidacy he was informed that the pa
ner was not in the business Of nominating
candidates for office and the paper was not
interested in the personal candidacy OF any
one On the other hand the space IN the
paper was for sale and if he or any one else
desired to use that space it was so much per.
If the daily papers are making it COM
mercial proposition, it's right and proper
the weekly papers do likewise. The press
AGENTS of certain candidates are already
irving to array the weekly press OF the state
against the daily press, not with the view
of helping the cause of the weekly press,
but to get the cause Of some candidate es-
nosed which candidate s cause the daily
press has rejected If the weekly press does
not take care of itself it is very evident that
neither the politicians nor the daily press
will do So
