BAN OF SECRET SOCIETIES.

X Tho edict has gone forth that the secret societies will be suppressed in the high schools of Chicago. It isn't meeting with cordial reception and endeavors arc being made to break it The idea that the high school is no place for fraternities has increased greatly in the past few years. Chi- cago is by no means alone in her scheme to bar them from the schools, there being a general inclination that way throughout the country as the bad effects of such organizations are ex- perienced through limitations and sub- sequent results.
 High school fraternities have devel- oped rapidly in the last fifteen years and it is small high school which is without them today. unless they are prohibited. Their growth has in- creased faster than the fraternity chapters and membership in colleges. because there are more high schools. In the high school. membership may at one time have resulted from schol- arship. but 1t has come to represent general good fellowship and high inks some of which are decidedly detriment- al to young people of the ages to be found in high school. It is the growth of the societies and sororities which has called attention to their harmful effects. the taking of attention iron studies, the creation of cliques. ant resulted in ths inclination to do away with them. The difficulty will come 1T the suppression of the existing mem. bership rather than in keeping dowI the future growth.

COAST TO COAST COMMERCE.

A good idea of what may be ex- pected in the way of increased busi- ness through the Panama canal can be gained from the rapid growth which commerce between the eastern and western coasts of the United States has shown in recent years. Prior to 1907, the Panama railway did Aii the business across the isthmus, but since that time, and the comple- ton of railroad across the isthmus of Tehuantepee, the business by those roads has trebled. amounting in the fiscal year of 1912 to 125 million, Practically all of the sugar sent from Hawaii to the eastern coast of tha United States comes by the Tehuante- pee railroad. and ferns considerably more than half of the eastward move- ment of domestic merchandise,
 Figures prepared show that of the twelve and quarter million dollars worth of merchandise passing from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific ports of the United States during July an6 August just past, ireA and steel man ufaetures amounted to over three mil. lion, cotton manufactures t9 nearly two million, These figures, which in. ciude only domestic merchandise pass ing by way of the isthmHs betweeI United States ports, suggest that |; still greater growth iR this traffic be, tween the eastern and western Geast can be expected with the eppertunit! for vessel shipments without chang ing at the isth@us, wiheh will com with the sPeRiRg of the Panama ca nal.

RIBBONS.

Never were ribbons so beautiful. That sounds trite enough, but it IS true. They are simply marvellous. The picot edges are in varied effects, and in different shades combine beautifully. Moire ribbons are extremely fashion able this season. and will be much used for trimming gowns. Some Of them are bordered with velvet, and there are attractive moire ribbons bor- dered with a narrow cord of gold. Chiffon velvet ribbons are also in great demand for trimmings. They come in the most exquisite shades and are used with brocade. often to accentuate one of the colors in the design. All the red shades from vivid pink to the darkest wine color are used in the brocaded ribbons. Indian red. OK blood red, the extraordinarily startling shade called primrose" the soft and becoming fuchsia, American beauty, coral and all the red shades. Amber ribbins. in line with the present craze for amber, are seen in great variety uf design and many shades of the color, and all the shades of brown are more in evidence than they have been for several years.

PAPER DOLLS.

Every mother who has little daugh- ters to amuse in rainy weather will often resort to paper dolls. Children always derive a great amount of pleasure dressing these, and many an otherwise tedious hour is spent in this manner.
 Beautiful dolls, from six to nine inches tall, ready to dress, may be purchased for from to 10 cents.
 If you desire to make your own doll take a piece of stiff cardboard and draw head and body, using the pur- chased doll for a model. Draw the eyes, nose, mouth, eye brows, ears and hair. With watel colors paint the features the desired tints.
 Lovely dresses may be fashioned from crepe and tissue paper, which comes in all tints and shades, plain figured and in plaid designs. Sup piled with a pair of scissors, a bottle Of mucilage and the paper, children
 can create many pretty costumes fol ! the paper doll.

THE MENACE.

More and more is the fact being realized that the efforts in behalf Of the third termer mean a wasted en- deavor. and, yet, in that effort, 1t is the democratic party which will be the real gainer. In Wilmington, Col. J. G. Townsend, Jr., has declined the nomination of the progressive party for congress on that very ground, claiming that the use of his name would indirectly assist the election of democrat instead of republican congressman from that state.
 It Is on these very lines that John wanamaker makes his plea to busi- ness men and wage earners alike. He speaks volumes of real progressivism when he says: The situation narrows down to this;
 1. Taft, and the top wave of pros perity
 2. Destruction to industries.
 3. The whirligig administration of an unbalanced president in a star spangled robe with archangelic wings
 Why exchange, humanly speaking present prosperity, politically assured for riddled, shot-through tariff and the fantastic, un-American projects ot the launchers of new party?
 Let us rouse ourselves to keep our republican friends together and by de- termined effort scatter our enemies tc the four winds.
 No new government ought to be per mitted to check existing prosperity o1 to begin new policies that jeopardize the nations future.
 Larger, far larger than either of tht men before the country for the presi- dency is the one condition on whicf the good times of the next four years must rest.
 If we are ready to sacrifice the nex four years of prosperity we can shu our eyes and jump in any direction we choose; but, in my opinion. wer' the phenomenal crops twice as large it would make no difference betweel this particular year when the crop! have partially failed on the other sid of the sea.

AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVE
 nnEnfr
CREDIT.

Two important matters are dealt with by President Taft in his mes sage to the governors of all the states whom he advocates the establishment of the agricultural cooperative sys- tenn and land mortgage banks through the country. In the first place. such banks would operate to the great ben- eft of the farming interests, and at tho same time it would be a step in the direction of 8 lower cost of living. For a long time the farmers have found 1t hard to get money. The rate being high prevented any great in- crease in cultivation or productivity. The farming industry is being called upon for over eight per cent in many sections, which is far in excess of that charged to corporations, and the need of relief, such as the putting of them in touch with the money centers of the world, Is apparent r
 In Europe several plans have been tried out. and from many reports on these the president is inclined towards that system used in the organization of the Raiffeisen banks, with such modications as would be necessary to ft the American situation. It is plain that some such plan must be adopted for the relief of the farmers. to allow them to expand in their operations and thereby, through greater yearly crops help to reduce the cost of living. Il is an effort which will be heralded with delight in the farming sections and comes after thorough investi- gation has been made of it's operation in other countries where farmers gel the benefit of . low rate and are there. by encouraged to constant endeavol and expansion. Tho president is tt be praised for the stand he has taker in the advocacy of this sure-to-be- beneficial institution.

IRON RUST STAINS.

Iron rust stains should be first wet with oorax and water or ammonia, and then spread over a bowl of boiling water. Then apply 10 per cent. solu- tion of hydrochloric acid, drop by drop. until the stain begins to bright en. Dip at once into water. If the stain does not disappear, repeat the process. After the stain is removed rinse at once very, thoroughly. using either borax or ammonia in the rinsine water This will neutralize any acid that may finger. Oxalic acid could be used instead of hydrochloric acid. OK alic acid is not so detrimental to fab- rics, but it is deadly poison, even IT this diluted solution, and should not bt left around

 Remember that it is never economy
 to put cheap lace or insertion on a
 garment that has to be washed fre-
 quently. It will fray and wear out
 long before the garment is worn and will have to be renewed, thus mourning double expense. It is better to buy good lace in the first place.

It is often found difficulty to cook rice so that every grain is dry and separate. The following method should be tried: Having washed 8 breakfast cup full of rice in several waters, throw it into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring it gently to the boil. then cook it for a quarter of an hour, when it should be perfectly tender and each grain be distinct. Pour it into large colander and let it drain in front of the fire. Should it not be quite dry spread the rice on a dish and stand 1t in the oven, with the door open for short time.
