TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
BY Mary Lee.

pertinent, he said: so many people
believe this silly statement. Why, OF
course raw beef will create life and
all those small worms would in time
develop into ma3gots, which would en-
tlrely destroy the plants. Professional
sometimes use OK blood. dried and pull
verified, but then they know the guam
tity to mix. also the kind of mold it
should be put into
Another mistake people make is to
water the leaves of ferns. many put
ting them under the shower bath for the
purpose.
In greenhouses and Conservatives the
leaves may be wetted because the heat
! there quickly dries. But the water which
/ rests In the little depressions of stalk
and leaves does not dry UP in the Or
binary room, and in time the green
rots and then falls off.
Another question upon which opinion
seems to be divided is the reason why
the tips of par leaves turn brown.
One authority claims it is because when
| the plant is watered the water does not
reach the extremes Of the large leaves,
while another says it is because the tips
are apt to be touched either by the fin
| gers clothing or some other object, and
| this bruises the leaves, causing running
| of the oily sap. The nourishment gone.
| of course. the leaf withers. BY ex-
pertinent / have found that this is true.
| large leaf accidentally became crushed
almost double. which cracked each
| frond. The result was brown line right
through the leaf. causing the upper half
of the leaf to rot away.
What should be done: Stand plants
in vessels of water for an hour twice
a week. Water between only when the
earth feels dry. Keep a pan of water
on radiator or stove to supply mois-
ture. Gas used for lighting will not
seriously injure plants. but cook stove
or gas logs lighted is apt to.
The greatest enemy is escaping gas.
/, Even small leak will kill a fern. Give
plants light: also change the air of the
room in which they are kept as often
as convenient. Cut away dead leaves as
they appear and lightly dig the earth
around the roots occasionally.

PARIS. December 4. 1915.
Emile Boutroux. the French academl-

his recent trip in the United States by
the tremendous faith in the power of
education which he everywhere encoun-

Nowhere else jim the world is more
faith placed in the powers OF instruction
and moral education, to increase the ca

where gelatin is ordinarily used it is
satisfactory. In a stiff Jelly of course
it cannot be used. 1t can be dissolved

The net result Of the fight of
fashions in Paris at, the close of
the season is to wear a dress that
does not st. The chief thing in
sisted upon is that the folds be ar
t site.
With this exception, one might
take sack open at both ends, cut
a couple of holes for the arms to
come through, tie a string or a
colored sash round the waist, pull
the sack well up over the sash so
that it stands well away from the
body, and have thereby the dress
of today.
AS a contrast to this, the lower
part of the dress should be well
drawn round the legs and it should
be open in front nearly to the
knees.
This fashion admits the extra
ordinary embellishments of silken
hosiery. Stockings lend them
selves particularly to all sorts of
designs; serpents are embroidered
in yari-colored jewels and entwin-
ed round the ankles.
Some fair wearers prefer butter
flies displayed in front of the leg
just below the knee. Lizards with
jeweled eyes are also frequently
introduced. Ladies of the super
stitious idea that cockroaches bring
luck, have some of these pests
beautifully outlined on their
hosiery.
In not a few cases lace plays the
leading role in the toilette. Many
of the white gowns are draped
with priceless black Chantilly lace.
Shawls and founces form the whole
of the top part of the bodices.
Sleeves are left quite transparent.
When black and white is not
chosen, delicate rose pink chiffon
with filmy ecrue lace seems to be
favored. Several of the white
charmeuse gowns are made in such
a manner that they give the wear
ers rather the appearance of jock
eys.
There is a simple as well as an
eccentric tendency in the latest
modes for hat trimming. Crystal
pendants hang in front. These
ornaments are exactly the same as
those used in the ordinary chan
deliers.

The organization of The Penn
sylvania Good Roads Federation,
which was effected at Harrisburg
on Thursday, is timely. The peo-
pie of the State at the coming
election will vote upon a proposed
amendment to the Constitution
authorizing a bond issue of $780,
100000. the money to be devoted
to road Improvement, and it is
now live question.
The new organization, which
at the outset strongly indicates its
purpose to support the amend
ment, can do much to secure its
adoption. There is no longer any
visible opposition to the construc-
ton of improved roads, as there
was few years ago under the old
system, which put all the expense
upon the localities. Some of them
thought that they could not bear
the burden, and as a result roads
were endured that were not only
discreditable, but were costly to
those who had to use them.
but argument in behalf of
good roads is no longer needed.
The sections of improved highway
that have been constructed in diff
erent parts of the State in the past
few years have been an impressive
object lesson. Farmers and others
who we're so long Indifferent to
the character of the public roads
have seen the advantage of having
them made what they should be.
They have discovered that good
roads enable them to carry larger
loads at less wear and tear o
horses and vehicles, and it is no
longer an objection that automo-
bilists are favored by good roads,
because a very large portion of
farmers have automobiles them
selves now. philadelphia Tele-
graph.
In 1909 an amendment to the
Constitution of Kentucky was
adopted, authorizing the granting
of State aid in the building of pub
lie roads. Two General AS
semblies have been convened and
adjourned since that amendment
WAS adopted and the amendmet re
mains dead letter. medically
here has been no building of good
reads in Kentucky in the interim.
rhe reason thereof is one and the
same with that which has led to
he proposed constitutional amend
ment in Pennsylvania. LOCAL.
Ties" in Kentucky as well as Penn
sylvania have refused to bear the
burden of expense of road-build
ing. With more than two-thirds
Of Kentucky's counties pauper,
this refusal is easily to be under
stood. Local taxation has proved
insufficient. Every attempt to
vote county issue of bonds has
cen defeated.
If good roads are to be built in
Kentucky-and the Good Master
knows there is need of them-the
power, which Pennsylvania seeks
by constitutional amendment and
which has existed in Kentucky
since 1909, must be exercised.
Kentucky is four years i'll adj
vance of Pennsylvania in recog-
nizing the necessity of State aid,
but, unless the next General As
sembly develops a larger wisdom
than its two immediate predecess-
ors, Pennsylvania will lead and
Kentucky follow in the actual
working out of problem common
to charlottesville Times.
