ANIMAL DRESSES AND
APRONS FOR CHILDREN

D EALISTIC animal decorations on the
~ dresses and aprons for children
make an attractive trimming, which will
appeal to young children's affection for
animals and the natural desire to have
them reproduced on their clothing.
A simple one-piece tucked dress but
toning at the sides and under the sleeves
is made of pink-striped percale, en-
broidered with wild ducks on the round
collar and sleeve bands Manufactured
linen, sturdy wearing khaki cloth or
coffee-colored galatea would be service
able materials to use for boys blouse
suit, embroidered with little brown bears
in floss, securely fastened between the
openings of a braid design which extends
down the side front, around the bottom
and on sleeves and collar.
A plain Russian blouse suit of brown
and red striped galatea for a small boy
is made with the shield decorated with
a brown pony, encrcled with braid.
An easily made suit is for a sturdy
little fellow who is not afraid of green
frogs. The blouse is designed with a
wide pleat at each shoulder front and
back, giving comfortable width to the
skirt, and buttoning under a narrow box
plat. Dull melon-green linen, denim or
galatea would be serviceable for this
suit, with collar and cuffs of white pique
or linen embroidered with the green
frogs.
Chubby little rabbits are gamboling
around the white linen yoke of a dress
for little girl, which is simply made
of blue and white check bingham. The
turnback cuffs are of plain blue. with
one white bunny perched on each sleeve.
A quaint little one-piece apron in the
straight Dutch style would be useful
made of longcloth, linen or lawn, with
strutting ducks and a conventional de-
sign embroidered in delft blue.
There is an adorable sewing apron for
little maiden patterned after the ones
worn by grown-ups, the straps of the
bib extending to the waistband in the
back and tying in a big bow. Sheer
lawn, barred dimity or scrim may be
used, with design of darning needle
flies and scrolls embroidered in mercer
lied thread or stenci1ed in tones of blue.
A play apron for little girl is in a
simple one-piece design, with short
length sleeves scanned under the arm
and carried in a yoke across the back,
where it is buttoned. 1t is pleasingly
decorated with two tiny red squirrels
and several acorns. Sateen or denim may
be used for this apron, with the design
cut out of colored Bingham.

"HE following is one Of the best
methods for preserving whole to-
matoes in cans: Select plump toma-
toes OF medium size Free them from
skins by scalding them. then have the
tin cans sterilized and heated in the oven
to receive them. Pack them in care
fully. Fill each can with water and add
one teaspoonful of salt to each can. Pune
ture each lid from the top with an awl,
making q medium large hole for steam
to escape. Put the lids on and set the
cans on the hot stove.
1t is best to cook only a few at a time
or all will be ready to seal at the same
time As soon as the water boils the
steam will spout from the hole in the
can. Remove the can to the table and
with some blunt instrument press the
lid down tightly, holding 1t firmly in place
while pouring sealing wax around the
edge Try to press out all air, then put
a small patch of paper over the hole and
pour sealing wax over the paper. Toma-
toes will keep perfectly whole in this
condition and have very natural flavor.
Be sure and make a hole in the lid for
steam to escape or you may be shocked to
find the contents of the can on the cell

AMERICAN SHIPS FREE.
Senate Defeats Amendment to Strike
out Discrimination in Question of
Canal Tolls.

Washington. Aug. S.-The defeat
of the Burton amendment to strike
out the discrimination in favor OF
American ships was the senate's defi-
ant answer to the protest of the Brit
ish government against the legisla-
ton. It was this clause of the bill
which led Great Britain to send for
NAL protest to the state department.
The senators who voted in favor OF
the Burton amendment are Bran
degee. Burton, Crane, Fall, Gronna
Lodge, Nelson, Oliver, Penrose, Root
and Wetmore.
At the evening session the clause
in question, which provided that no
tolls should be levied upon vessels en-
gagged in the coastwise trade of the
United States was amended upon ma
ton of Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia. by making the exemption apply
only to vessels engaged exclusively
i'm the coastwise trade of the United
States. Another amendment by the
senator requesting owners of the ves-
sells to keep the United States free
from liability for damages resulting
from their passage through the canal
was defeated.
So was an amendment by Senator
Percy which provided that vessels
owned by Americans but built abroad
should be entitled to registration foI
the coastwise trade.

Men Won't go West.

Duluth. MINI, Aug. S.-Despite the
unusual allurements that have been
made to induce laborers to 60 to the
American northwest, they have re-
fused to be persuaded and as a re-
suit reports from all over this Sec
tion OF the country during the past
few days have been telling of seri
Gus scarcity of laborers. Thousands
of men are needed to harvest bumper
crops, work on railroads and help
also in the development of Canada,
but labor cam not be obtained at top
wages and the unusual allurement of
free fare.
To get the full meaning of the i'm
mensity of the crop in the Red River
valley and in western Canada. alone,
It need only be said that fifty thou
sand men are needed in those sec
tions. 1t is figured that twice as
many men will be required in the
northwest this season as last year.
