REPLIES TO CHARGES OF
FACTORY INSPECTOR

At a meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor yesterday
an open letter was received from
James F. Morris, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, and
representative in the legislature,
replying to charges of State Fac
tory Inspector E. T. Davies that
Morris was responsible for hold
ing up the appropriation for the
inspectors office.
Mr.. Morris said that the bill to
which Davies had reference in his
criticism was one affecting the

had nothing to do with the gen
era1 appropriation for the office,
which was carried in the omnibus
bill. The appropriation allowed
the department last year, he said,
was $1,000 more than the year
previous.
The letters contained figures
indicating that Mr.. Davies had
drawn $44 ,946.15 up to Dec. 81,
1911, which should leave him a
balance at that time out of his
appropriation of $32,50385. Mr..
Morris said there was an accumu-
lated debt in the factory inspec-
tors office, and a deficiency bill
should be passed to straighten'
this out. He said Mr.. Davies did
not take the latter course.
President E. R. Wright of the
State Federation of Labor, speak
ing of the latter, said Mr.. Davies
had made an effort to throw re-
sponsibility for any financial
stringency upon labor unions, and
he would not stand for it."

PUTTING AWAY The
WINTER FLANNELS
They Should Be Carefully Washed
in Luke-warm Water.

Flannels, whether undergarments or
bed clothes, become irksome just as soon
as the passing of the Easter holidays
tells US that spring has really routed
winter, and then the housewife must see
that all are carefully cleaned and put
away until the chill autumn breezes
again call them out
In the hrst place. they should be
soaked in lukewarm water. to which has
been added a few shavings OF soap. Cold
water will make the flannel harsh. while
hot water shrinks II and gives the yell

keeper deplores
After the soil has been loosened by the
soaking the different pieces are placed
in another tub Of warm water which has
been made very soapy.
Each piece is rubbed firmly between
the hands until all the soil has been
washed out. when the pieces are rinsed
in another water of the same tempera-
ture as the preceding two.
Il the flannel is pure white or slightly
ivory, a little blue can be added to the
last water, but II the ivory tint is de-
sired this is not necessary.
Blankets should be treated in precisely
the same manner.
In putting away these fiannels for the
summer. large bags, made OF some light
blue stun, chambray or gingham. should
be used and a supply OF moth balls in
small bags placed inside.
The washboard should never be used
in cleaning flannel. since the best re-
suits are always gained by the hand
process.

The Scale in the House.

Scales in a bedroom are not q novelty
in this era Of fighting flesh. In the
bathroom or bedroom are certified scales

can weigh herself night and morning be-
fore and after meals. sick and well, in
her clothes and oft OF item.
Besides keeping strict tabs on her
own weight, her babies are being, ut
terly neglected unless they are brought
up now under a weighing regime. Daily
charts are kept OF the gain or decrease
OF pounds.
Fascinating are the scales intended
for a baby. A favorite gift to the new
mother is a pair of scales OF white
enamel or French gilt. with special con.
trivances to hold tiny infants for
weighing.
From Paris come the most gloriaed
scales. Some one has inv"n'ai a rair

ODD ENDS OF LINEN
EASILY UTILIZED

Damask linen in short lengths may seem
to some hasty shoppers the last possible

intended. but II has a unique quality
when enriched by heavy out lining

Large pieces of this worked damask
are cut the size OF the table and edged
with cluny lace as a luncheon cloth.
Remnants of heavy sheeting linen are
frequently used for the various small
pieces of embroidery, and to excellent
advantage.
No woman who has cut from enor-
mously wide linens will fail to see the
advantage OF sheeting as a permanent
possession in the sewing room.

PARASOLS TO BE CARRIED THIS

model have been imported, and these, of
course are even more eccentric In shape
and colorlng than those designed on this
side OF the ocean.
One OF the odd shapes is wider on one
side than the other. the wide side to ex-
tend over the shoulders, while another
rev shape is the deep dome, like the en-
tire half Of a sphere.
Another looks exactly like French
lamp shade, with a slightly sloping top,
which breaks abruptly into a perpendicu-
lar border.

less striking than the colorings and COM

GUEST ROOM SHOULD
Be MADE HOMELIKE
More Than Just a Place to Spend
the Night.

So much has been said about arranging
the guest room, and so much advice
given about closets and bureau drawers
that It seems as though all had been
said.
However. one clever woman who had
Travelled about a great deal visiting sun
dry relatives and friends at last decided
to settle down herself. and. thinking of
her own experience in spare" rooms,
she planned a guest room which might
offer some suggestions
In the first place. she papered the room
in soft golden brown, artistic and rest
full. while two pictures on each wall and
calendar with figures large enough to
be seen across the room were the only
adornments.
In place of the usual brass bed. she
had comfortable couch bed. which in
the daytime was covered with a pretty
tapestry couch cover and a half dozen
soft and well-flled silk cushions.
Made 1t HOmeIIke.
The idea was to make the guest room
more than simply a place to spend the
night. and besides the bed there were
two low, comfortable chairs, one a rock
er In willow and the other a deep arm
chair.
In the middle Of the room there was a
substantial table supplied with inkstand
and blotter. while in the drawer there
was a supply Of stamps. pens. paper. and
envelopes.
The dresser contained the usual acces-
sories, and also a hairpIn basket filed
with hairpins. pins of every variety. a
box Of collar buttons and a cravat rack
for the male guest.
A tiny clock, a waste basket, a shelf
of books and hemstitched scrim curtains
stenciled in green and brown for the
windows completed this attractive guest
room.

farmer is that 1t macs him independ-
dent Of the speculator. He knows the
price he will get before he plants.
And the beet crop is a great soil i'm
proven, owing to the intensive culti-
walton 1t rquires.
"Thls is a most important point be-
cause we are rapidly getting to the
end of our additional available gov
ernment and state lands in those sec
tions of the United States where in
tenslfled agriculture can be practiced
with good profit. OF course, there are
considerably dry farm areas left, but
we do not know how far we can go
with those. So 1t is most essential
that our farmers should learn to get
two or three times the present yield
from one acre and concentrate on
smaller areas. We must get away
from the erroneous idea that it takes
100 to 300 acres to support family.
In Europe family is supported on
as little as 10 acres
"The average American farmer does
not yet appreciate the benefits of in
tensive cultivation, but he is rapidly
learning. However, he has still much
to learn from his European brother
about the preparation of land and the
care and cultivation of the crop. This
is true Of the sugar beet crop as we'll
as Others"
Mr.. Winterhalter appeared before
the finance committee of the senate
at Washington this week, represent
ing the farm industry of the West, in
opposition to the proposal to with
draw the present duty against for
eign-grown sugar.
"The result of the contemplated
Legislation would be destructive to
the American sugar grower" he de-
clared, "and an excellent assistance
toward developing the beet industry
abroad and the cane sugar industry
in the tropical island under the
Dutch and British flags. Russia,
which encourages It's beet sugar
growers by both tariff protection and
bounties, produced over 100000 tons
in 1911 as against 591 900 tons in 1894
AS soon as Russia can export free Of
duty into our country, the growth Of
its industry will be phenomenal--at
our expense. In time, If our present
policy is continued, we will produce
every pound Of sugar used by the
American consumer. And as the pro-
duction increases, the cost of the pro-
duct per ton of beets and per pound
of sugar is bound to decrease stead
lily, while internal competition will
ultimately result in lower price to
the consumer"
