SOMETHING ELSE MUST BE DONE TO PROTECT AMERICANS, W.
 DINING SENATOR SAYS.
PRESIDENT DELAYS ACTION
If lind's Medi iation Offer Fails Arms May Be Sold to RebeIs-Envoy
 En Route to Mexico on BattIeshlp.

Washington, Aug. 7.-President Wilson's action in sending former Gov. John Lind to Mexico as spe- cial emissary in the present situation was attacked in the senate by Sen- ator Clark of Wyoming, who declared something else must be done by the administration" to guarantee ade- quate protection to Americans.
 President Wilson has announced that he will await a report from John Lind, whom he sent to Mexico City to negotiate with President Huerta for ending hostilities, before taking any further action in the Mexican situa- tion.
 While the president believes medi- alton the best plan to straighten out the Mexican tangle, he is not over hopeful of success. In fact, President Wilson and other members of the ad- ministration are inclined to accept the reports from Huerta and Gen. Car ranza that they will not agree to me- diation.
 Lind will receive assistance from other quarters than the American gov ernment. Already many of the mon- eyed interests in Mexico-domestic and foreign-which have been friend ly to Huerta and supported him, are trying to induce Huerta to resign and accept some Mexican, not opposed by the revolutionists, for provisional president. Several of these interests have sent representatives to Huerta, who pointed out to him that the sal vation of Mexico is in his hands.
 Huerta is said to have been told that President Wilson would, in the event he refused to accept mediation, permit everyone in Mexico to pur- chase arms and ammunition in the United States with full freedom. Such a course, it was declared would mean that the present struggle would last several months and then force the United States to intervene.
 Whether Gen. Carranza, leader of the revolutionists in the north, shall receive representations from Commis- sioner Lind depends entirely on the success of his mission to Mexico City. Lind has instructions to confer with Carranza If success attends his ef- forts in Mexico City.
 There is much speculation in Wash. ington as to how Lind will fare in Mexico. Some followers of the Mex ican situation say he will fail Others believe he will succeed.
 So far the plan the president has in mind, in the event of failure of mediation, is the repeal of the resolu- tion of March IA, 1912, which prohib- ited the shipment of arms and ann intuition to any faction in Mexico At the first word from Lind that media tion has failed, the president will ask congress to make 1t possible for all factions in Mexico to obtain arms and ammunition in the United States.

Some New and Original Ideas Which
Intending Hostesses May Find
of Real Value.

A correspondent kindly tells Of
these ways to find partners:
One girl had conundrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names wri,.
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were.
Another girl had a small piece cut out
of the card the pieces were given TO
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls
names on cards and they were put in
envelopes and sealed and hid in dI;
ferent places in the parlor"

Without a Liberal Supply of Material
II Is impossible to Get the
Proper Effect

1t is poor economy to buy too sCant
measure when purchasing face veil
ing, A smartly adjusted veil can
never have a skinny effect, as when
the back of yelling is straining at the
edges of the veil pin, or when there
is not sufficient material left at the
ends to be tucked from view. Wide
yelling and plenty Of it must be used
on even a small hat An excellent
idea is to have elastic corting run
through the mesnes of the veil at the
top, being so measured as to fit firmly
at the base of the crown. This meth
cd avoids the pinning of the veil to
the hat brim, which is never a very
secure way of fastening it and is diff
ficult to do if the hat brim is stiff, and
is apt to leave pin MARKS fn any
event. The fulness should be evenly
distributed around the crown and the
edges of the veil at the bottom caught
at the nape of the neck with a veil
pin or barette. The ends are then
drawn straight up to the back Of the
brim and invisibly tucked under the
elastic at the crown. When the veil
loses its freshness and begins to sag
at the chin twist this portion round
and round and tuck it under its own
surface; this will give trimness to the
otherwise untidy appearance.

fury.
The room in which Bedieht found
himself was big and rough like some
of the words the mayor said before
his sense of the ludicrous returned.
Then, in full possession of the humor
of the situation, he sat down on the
side of the bunk and grinned. A man
can grin when the joke is on him. but
he seldom becomes boisterous under
the circumstances unless he is in pub
lie, where it is always good taste to
prove his good fellowship by blatant
laughter
That the game warden had gone for
help there was no doubt Remember
ing the slap which Bedight had ad-
ministered on the day of their first
meeting. that worthy did not desire
to take further chances.
But if Miss Vining planned the
trap, why did not the warden bring
enough help with him to arrest me?"
This was the question the mayor
asked himself-and gave it up. He
had no way Of knowing that the war
den had sent word TO the sheriff to
be on hand-but that functionary was
at the moment marooned on an island
five miles from the village with ample
food sent by kind providence in the
light of the moon, but with no boat
by which he might navigate the inter
vening waters.
An hour passed, during which time
Bedight had satisfied himself that
wood choppers cabins in general and
this one in particular were built with
the express purpose of being better
jails than those possessed by the or
binary hamlet in the north country.
He was securely confined-and he
was in to stay until some one chose
to liberate him.

WAYS OF PREPARING FISH.

One must use care in the buying of
fish from the market Look for one
with eyes of bright color, flesh firm
and the gills of bright color The
sooner a fish is scaled after coming
from the water the easier it is done.
Take a small sharp knife and scale
from the tail to the head. Many find
that pouring boiling water over the
fish helps the scaling process, but it
must be done quickly. not allowing the
fish to lie an instant in the water.
Hold the knife in slanting position
and the work will be easier.
Split the fish after it is scaled, re-
move the entrails and wash quickly,
not allowing it to lie in the water, as
this will cause it to lose its flavor
Salt fish should be soaked in water
and softened by slow cooking. If
boiled rapidly the fiber will be tough
ened
When a fish is to be boiled, lay it
in a thin piece of cheese cloth or mus
lin, tie up well and lay in a kettle of
boiling water. A bay leaf, pepper
corns, onion or parsley may be used
for seasoning. Simmer gently. allow
ing ten minutes to the pound for cook
ing. Lift out carefully, remove the
cloth and garnish with parsley and
lemon quarters.
Fish la Creme.-Carefully remove
all the bones from cold boiled fish
taking the meat with a fork To a
bubbling hot tablespoonful of butter
add tablespoonful of -four, then add
pint of milk; season with salt and
cayenne pepper. Put a layer of the
faxed fish in a well buttered baking
dish, add a layer of the white sauce
more fish and sauce, then sprinkle the
top with well buttered bread crumbs
Bake until brown. For many, sprink
ling of grated onion adds much to the
flavor of the dish

KITCHEN SHORT CUTS.

Life is short and time is fleeing.
and the up-to-date, progressive woman
is learning to divide her hours of la
Dor and multiply the hours of leisure
and self-improvement Why spend
two hours preparing a meal which can
be done in one by having the materi-
ais for use easy of reach and quickly
replaced. The pauses in work due to
lack Of forethought and planning are
enormous leaks in the days time
If a trip to cellar or storeroom is
necessary, make one trip do; carry
tray and save time and strength.
Anybody who has tried it, knows
that no household can be run on an
iron-clad rule, for things are always
upsetting our plans and changing the
routine, which makes life worth liv-
ing. MonOtony is the rust that eats
out many lives.
However, any housekeeper is great
ly assisted by schedule which is as
carefully followed as possible, which
makes the getting Of meals and doing
of homework a pleasure. A slate o.
tablet hanging on the wall, with an
outline of the weeks meals will prove
to be a wonderful saver of time.
A small kitchen, with utensils and
materials within easy reach, should be
the aim of every householder when it
is possible. Two steps extra to table,
stove and sink amounts to many
weary yards in the course of year.
When one is waiting for something
to cook that cannot be left, occupy the
time getting bread crumbed, or raisins
cut. lard and flour mixed for pastry,
opening new packages of spices and
baking powder. Small glass cold
cream jars, labeled with the name of
spice or article make fine receptacles
for holding any of these commonly
used things. A spoon can be filled in
side them without spilling, and they
look neat and attractive on the shelf
A fireless cook stove is another
short cut in the kitchen which one can
not afford to be without A meal may
be prepared early put to cook, and
one may then spend the time in other
ways.

Milk is the ideal food and drink for
the growing child. but it also needs
food to add bulk to the diet; foods to
use and exercise the teeth upon, as
well as to excite the digestive juices.
Cocoa is a good drink for children,
and should be often given. Hot water
and milk supplies a simple and hot
drink, but coffee and tea should never
be allowed.
Well cooked rice in almost any form
Is relished by children, and is a good,
wholesome food. 1t should be well
cooked, and be thoroughly soft. When
served plain, with top milk, it is a
meal in itself
Baked with egg and a few raisins
and milk, it is still more nourishing,
and is quite a favorite dessert with
most little people.
