the consumers paid, by the time it

More than one-half the consumers

EXTOLS CATHOLIC
SUPPORT In WAR
Dr.. Mccarthy Delivers First Of
Series of Winter Lectures at
Catholic University.

The first public lecture of the winter
course offered by the Catholic University
was delivered yesterday afternoon in
MacMahon Hall by DR.. Charles II. Nc
Carthy, author Of 'Lincoln's Plan of Re-
construction" Civil Government in the
United States" and other works. Cath
olics in the American Revolution" was his
theme.
Prof. Mccarthy stated that these con-
tInents were discovered and in a large
way explored by Catholic nations. viz:
Spain, Portugal, England. and France.
CHASING England with Catholic powers
carries one back to a time before the
secession of Henry VIII.
He said II Catholics had nearly all TO
do with the discovery and exploration
OF the two Americas, thed had so little
TO do with the development OF the At
lantic Coast Of North America that in
the United States It is popularly believed
that they were not among the founders
OF this favored republic.
In the era Of the Revolution there were
few Catholics in the English colonies.
The lecturer estimated them at 2SoOO.
But" said he, they were numerous on
all our borders" The Canadian mission.
on which there were two Catholics. was
mentioned; also the neutrality OF the Ca
nadians. Their loyalty to England was
suspected by the British officers. This
suspicion was justified, for two Canadian
bsttalions Joined the American army
early in the war. and served until they
nearly disappeared from the casualties of
battle.
Dr. Mccarthy mentioned the existence
in the Library of Congress of the unpub-
lished papers of Oliver Pollock. a Balti-
more merchant, doing business in New
Orleans, then a possession Of Spain. These
letters show the friendly attitude OF Span
ish colonists

dissolving a small original package OF
Iuayatone in a half-pint Of witch hazel
Massaging with this has kept her skin

Her long, wavy and lustrous locks are
due to dry shampooing. She says she
never has time TO wash her head and

shampoos make the hair dull and lifeless.

GAREPULLYMEND
|, UNDERGARMENTS
Require Good Deal of Thought and
Ingenuity.

The only way to get ahead Of mend
ing is to discard the worn parts Of gar
ments and replace them with new, strong
material.
This can be done In a way not to sug-
gest repairing; but as il requires some
ingenuity, the work must be carefully
planned before you begin. None Of Us
like darns and patches on our under
clothes, yet those are the garments that
wear out first, and unless mended care
fully have 10 be discarded long before
II is really necessary II a little thought
is exercised in the mending.
In the first place. keep all scraps OF
lace and insertion that may be left from
the making of summer clothing, and
when a worn spot or q tear appears in a
dainty undergarmept use the lace or In
sertion instead Of a plain patch of new
and perhaps heavier material

under the arms in long slits where the
material has been rotted with perspira-
ton. When mending. insert a plain patch
OF the same material or which the gar
ment Is made and around II one row of
lace insertion, cutting away the material
under the lace. so that II will look like a
pretty mode Of trimming instead OF a
patch. OF course, this must be done on
both sides.
When the lace insertion on your lin
geTis has been torn out in the washing.
the best way TO mend IL IS TO stitch new
lace, OF the same design IL possible. over
the old and cut away the worn portion
as you would under a new garment
Beading can be replaced in the same
manner, while a new lace edge can al
ways be whipped on with very little
trouble.
The embroidery on long white petit
coats can be repaired when II has been
worn out by constantly catching in the
heels OF your slippers by cutting away
the torn part and inserting a piece OF mar
row embroidery that matches or nearly
matches the old IN pattern.

pair a corset cover or nightgowH where

Her Idea of Smoking.
Apropos of the Ritz-carIton. New

Mime. Stmone, the Partisan actress, said
the other day:
Those who object to smoking among
women have never perhaps seen smoking
done decorously. Their idea of smoking
is that of the old Provencal woman.
"A society girl, calling on this old
woman in her cottage, took a cigarette
from her gold case, fitted IL in a tube OF
amber, and said:
You don't mind If smoke, do you?
Why, of course not. dear1e. OF course

HOW TO DO UP YOUR
OLD BROWN SHOES

Old boots and shoes. especially Of the
tan variety, can be made to do duty
by coloring them black. ana this in a
in wet weather.
Put the boots on their trees, and then
sponge with warm water in which a
little soda has been dissolved. removing
all dressing or polish which may have
collected on the uppers.
When dry, apply two or three coatings
OF shoemakers ink, and finish OF with
any good black paste polish. The boots
will look almost like a new pair.
Tan shoes which are too yellow or
light in color can very easily be darkened
by applying a solution Of ammonia and
soda in water, applied at intervals. Each
coat produces a deeper shade. till a good
dark winter brown is reached.

STALE BREAD MIGHT BE
CRUSHED INTO CRUMBS

Bread crumbs are useful for breadinE
chops and fish, but crushing them with a
rolling pin is a tedious job. The old
fashioned mortar and pestle are better,
as they give the crumbs no chance to
scatter, and a child can do the work.
In default Of the real mortar and
pestIe, use a potato masher and a stone
jar or a small wooden bucket. The whole
weight of the body can thus be brought
to bear on grinding the crumbs to fine
dust, and small children. who usually en-
Joy pounding something, are quite equal
to this.
The crumbs should first be put in a
moderate oven and dried for a few min
utes so as to be brittle, and when pound
ed fine, they can be stored in a glass
Jar for future use.
Broken crackers can be saved ana
crushed in the same way.
