A ONE-PIECE APRON
WHICH Is EASILY MADE.

An overall. or one-piece apron, which
can be slipped on or of at a moments s

indispensable possession to the girl who
must help with the housework and per-
form duties of a more or less serious
nature.
Two lengths Of yard-wide material,
measuring from the shoulder to the hem
of the skirt. are required in the making
One length is folded through the center
for the front, and is cut out rounding at
the neck. with narrow pieces forming
straps for the shoulders; the other length
is cut lengthwise through the center. so

front. and the edges bound or faced with
bias strips. The seam under the arm is
curved slightly, in order to make it fit
the figure. and the back is closed with
five or six plain bone buttons Make

1t may be true that Chicago's asso-

but. viewed from the surface, one thinks
there Is a real call for growth.

For the way Of the young woman. or.

Yet 1t is true that In country towns
there are many, many young women who

But there is the young woman OF

and seek the big cities-what kindly as

They, too. need the life, the shelter and

First comes the announcement that
the board of directors of the Young
women's Christian Association Of Chi
cago has ruled that all women for
whom the time clock has reached the
limit of twenty-five years must vacate
their comfortable quarters in the asso-
cations dormitory In favor Of those
who are younger.
And then from other cities we hear
the more encouraging assurance that
they may remain a while longer. Phila-
delphia hurries forward to. assure the
young women who have made their
homes in the pleasant rooms offered by
the association that they are welcome
longer than that and that not until their
thirtieth birthday will they be turned
away to look for other quarters in the
Quaker City.
We thought 1t a bit severe a year or
so ago when the Boston association an
nounced its decision: No room for the
woman over thirty-fiye. But that seems
a bit mild. now that Chicago has low
cred the limit by just . decade.
Reason for Decision.
It goes without saying that Chicago's
board of managers is not trying to draw
an arbitrary age line without better rea-
son than 'just because" The aim of
the Young Womens Christian Associ-
alton is to act as a sort of guardian
over young girls and women without
the shelter and protection offered by
home life. 1t Is quite within its right
to determine when, according to its
Judgment, a young woman should be able
to look out for herself: and IL 1t be-
lieves that the woman Of twenty-five has
learned to Withstand the ways of a big
city and to depend upon the protection
of clearinghouse in lieu of a home,
its ruling is understandable.
The management declares that there
is constant pressure for rooms for young
girls in country towns who want to start
out in business life in Chicago, but who
fear to try the big city without the as
surance of protection. And so 1t has de-
termined to open its home doors only to
those under twenty-five.
But one hopes that Chicago's associa-
ton may stand alone in its ruling.
Ought to Widen Its Scope.
For if the pressure is so heavy that, in
point of age, the dividing line must be

THE STOREROOM IS
USEFUL In HOME
Faulty Cellar Is Menace to Health
of Family.

The storeroom for food may be the
tiny closet of the fat dweller in a city
or the. cellar OF the village or farm
house In the last case it often has a
commercial as we'll as a household val
ue. since it keeps fruits and vegetables IN
good condition until marketed, IS we'll

table; but in any case II should be cool,
dry. clean and regularly aired.
1t may be well to describe cellar that
is badly built and carelessly kept In
order to see what should be exactly op-
posite conditions. Such a cellar may be
dug in wet grounds, without sufficient
drainage of the subsoil; ii may even be
in contact with open sewers or drains,
which have been provided in certain cases
to contain specific rSanisms capable OF
producing disease
In many cases the cellar built against
an earth wall is not protected from
dampness by a layer of moisture-proof
cement. and the water may stand In
drops on its surface. Again. II may be
dug to such an extent below the surface
of the ground that the windows are

ton. the cellar is badly kept, bits of
rotting fruit arEs vegetables being left
about not only will these conditions IA

A cellar that meets modern require
ments must be dug in ground that IS
well drained. either naturally or by arti-
fetal means 1t must be remembered
that a cellar is not, first of ALL store
room; 1t is an essential part of we'll
planned house in helping to keep an
equable temperature. and If its walls and
floors are what they should be, 1t pre-
vents dampness and ground air from
rising into the house.
If the house is set close to the ground
the cellar windows must be wide enough
to compensate for their lack of height
and must be set opposite TO each other
In order to insure good draft.

WIRELESS PLANT
CONFUSES SHIPS

New York Sept. s-The largest wire
less station in the world. just opened by
the German Wireless Telegraph Company
at Sayville. Long Island, is proving too
powerful. Its mighty waves reach out
and interfere with the steamships on
the Great Lakes. "jamming" the tunes"
of the wireless stations on the vessels
as far as Lake Superior. nearly a thou
sand miles from the plant on Long
Island.
The operators on the Lake steamers
have appealed in vain to the big station
to keep out. and then get on with their
business, and now the matter is to be
taken up by the International Conven-
iton of Wireless Telegraphy at Berne
Switzerland. An order probably will be
issued commanding the Sayville station
to use longer wave than at present,
thus obviating interference with the ship
ping on the Lakes.
InexplicakIe freaks have appeared in
wireless transmission during many nights
of the summer now drawing to a close.
Frequently vessels with wireless appa-
ratus whose radii are only 200 miles,
have found themselves suddenly in COM
Imunication with stations 1000 miles
away. Two ships within a hundred miles
of each other have been held up for
hours at a time by another vessel sew
eral hundred miles distant. and COM
municating with station rearby. Oper-
ators thus delayed are unable to tell the
innocent offenders to, keep out. as the
freak, in this instance, works only one
way.

NO PRAYERS FOR SCHOOLS.
Example Set by Pittsburg Not Fol-
lowed Here.

Although the Pittsburg National Re-
form Association had started a move
ment by which yesterday was to have
been devoted to prayers for the public
schools in the churches of this country,
none of the churches OF this city, as far
as could be ascertained, followed the sug-
gestion as offered from Pittsburg.
Yesterday had been chosen for the
prayers by the Pittsburg organization,
because in many cities OF Pennsylvania
and neighboring States schools reopen
to-day, which Is not the case with this
city. which probably accounts for the
omission Of the school prayers in the
churches of Washington yesterday. The
Pittsburg organization is working for
restricted divorce laws and the introduc-
ton Of the Bible in the public schools.

Grave Mistake.

Grown-up manners never fit children.
and the mother who teaches her little
ones to act as II they were thirty years
old when in. company makes grave
mistake.
The little girl with an artificial air and
the little boy with a snobbish manner
are to be pitied rather than praised.
They learn all sorts OF mannerisms from
their elders. If father Is snob, son is
apt to be: if mother puts on airs"
daughter will surely follow in her foot
steps Therefore. it behooves the par
erts 20 mind their manners.
Children learn by observation. and
they will mimic or copy what they see
you" fall from baby lips If the child
hears them from father and mother. All
such gentle expressions and quiet, un-
obtrusive manners are far better than
a knowledge of forks and spoons.
One wise mother whose family was
large gave what she called practice
parties" every few months. No out
siders were invited on these occasions.
but all the children were brought to the
table, where the best linen, china, silver
ware, and cut glass were used, and the
service was punctilious, correct in every
detail.
Unusual dishes were included in the
menu, and great care was taken that
each child should behave as would be
expected in the presence of strangers.
This gave every one. even the smallest
child a knowledge, not only of how to
behave properly and of table manners in
general. but also of the correct use of
dishes, forks, spoons. and the service
from beginning to end.
Example Is Strong.
Example is stronger than precept, and
it cost that mother extra time
and trouble in the rearing of her chill
dren, she considered them worth 1t, and
also had the satisfaction of knowing that
they would all know how to behave when
they were invited out.
. Courteous speech and manner come
to the child surrounded with
good influences. Consideration in the
home can be made a matter of love in
stead of politeness. and the child who is
taught to be considerate to brothers and
sisters at home will not fail outside.
Think for a moment of the most
charming persons you know. Are they
not natural in their manner and consid-
crate of others. rather than conventional
to a marked degree?
And would you not have your children
them, with natural good man.

TEACHING CHILDREN

How can I teach my children perfect
manners. and yet be natural?' The
question was asked by a mother OF four,

room of a fashionable hotel.
The oldest boy and the two younger
ones had shocked and grieved their
mother by displaying little. ilI-bred man.
ners that she never dreamed they pos
sessed. while the second child. a girl Of
ten, was so stilted and unnatural in her
behavior that she attracted considerable
attention from the other guests, who
said she was too old for her years" and
criticised her because she mimicked the
grown folks.
We all admire pretty manners in a lit
tie girl. yet when she rattles off string
OF fiattering remarks or pretty speeches
we are inclined to regard her with as
tonishment and forget TO answer in kind
while. II child has a modest. natural
manner. We can and do forgive and over
