A CREED

From the Detroit Free Press.
Faith in him who calls me friend,
Faith in what Is sweet and clean;
Faith that just around the bend
All is peaceful and serene.
Faith that after care and strife
Come the happy days of rest;
Faith that everything in life
Really happens for the best.
This is my faith and this is my shield
'Gainst the arrows Of distrust;
Much of justice is concealed
In what seems to be unjust.
Now what seems a dismal way
That alone I'm forced to tread
| may come to see some day
Is glorious path instead.
Undisturbed by petty wrongs,
Undismayed by what is mean,
Though the false attracts the thrOngs,
Though the multitude unclean,
Though at times | stand alone,
Though IN oft misunderstood,
Faith l still would keep and own
In the decent and the good.
Washington farmer. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1914-1971, 1914-06-15

worker will have basin ready con-
tanning a small amount of the plaster
mixed with warm water to a thick
paste. This must be rubbed over the
shirt a small patch at time begin
ming around the neck and working
we'll over one shoulder, bust and back
and under the arm, then doing the
other side. Only little paste should
be made at time, just what can be
used before it hardens. After the
portions stated are gone over, the
arms may drop carefully to the sides.
The paste is then applied to the rest
of the body and 10 or II inches below
the waist. Only enough is put on to
FIJI the cloth and make an even thick
ness. This work should be done
quickly. There should be plenty of
real hot water handy to wash the
hands and basin each time before
making fresh supply.
After the form is finished, the
woman should stand until the plaster
is hard. Some say at least an hour
and half. Personally we think 1T is
worth the trouble, for we had to have
second one made. Perhaps 1T was
because the first was taken off too
soon. It shrunk so much in drying.
This Is one of the things ones own
judgment and experience will have
to determine.
The assistant should have some
large rolls of crumpled newspapers
ready. Two bigQbunches for shout
ders and two for the hips. They
should be placed where it is warm
and where the form will not be
moved for several days.
After all is in readiness the assist
ant cuts the hastings up the front
and back seam of the shirt. then
takes hold of the gauze shirt and
pulls carefully until every part of
the cast is loosened. One side is
then lifted off at time and placed
over the papers. The cast should be
we'll supported so it cannot change
shape. Fit it right and then leave 1t
entirely alone. Do the same with the
other side.
The next issue will contain direc-
lions for finishing and making the
pedestal after my own design, which
! is, of course, to my own notion, quite
the best and most practical.
We shall be glad to answer inquiries
at any time, although this article
covers every detail.

getting into a rut, or having our page
about the same as the hundred and
one other pages devoted to women S
work, for each season brings about the
same old duties and the same old
difficulties.
About year ago our attention was
called to dress form that was being
made in the city. 1t was said to be
success and could be had for $40
without pedestal. The adjustable
patent ones sell for $12 to SIS. and
the paper mache anywhere from 81. 90
to So. SO, according to sales at differ
ent times. Right here let us state.
that any woman intending to pur-
chase paper mache bust form should
always take with her muslin lining
that fits her perfectly as the forms
vary and Sc may be found to be
either a 81 or a 38. Any clerk will
be willing to find one that is the
nearest in size. They always have to
be fixed up anyway to exactly tit the
lining, ''but that is different story. "
The dress form in question was
spoken of as being wonderful thing,
and as if the material of which it was
made was some mysterious prepare
ton and "quite expensive you
know" We kept our eyes open
gathering bit of information here.
a little more there, and by finally
getting one made for our own use,
feel that we are now in position to
give our worthy farm women some
thing that will tighten the burden of
home sewing. A mother will sew
day in and out for the rest of the
family, but when it comes to doing
for herself she is often almost dis
tracted trying to fit her own gar
ments.
1t will take two women for the first
part of the work, SO it one has good
neighbor or a best friend, they can
work together and one for the other.
Each one can finish her own. The
success of the undertaking will de-
pend entirely upon her skill and the
pains she takes.
The materials needed are plaster of
paris probably 25 cents worth some
strong crochet cotton, not too fine,
some glue, bottle of shellac, cause
vest. and ribbed, long sleeved, high
necked shirt, the kind that is sort of
fuzzy on the wrong side and costs
about 80 cents, and perhaps some
cheese cloth. OF three makers we
have seen each one has her method,
SO anyone can use her own judgment.
The sleeves of the long shirt should
be cut off at the elbow and the gar
ment slit straight down the front and
down the back and then basted to-
gether. It will be seen that the gar
ment should be larger than the size
the person usually wears.
Everything being in readiness the
woman for whom the form is to be
made should dress to the corset. She
must not put on any old thing, lace
it up carelessly or too tight. She
should put on the best, well-fitting
corset she has and adjust the lacings
carefully and as she generally has
them. If she wears a brazziere that
better be put on also. The gauze
vest is put on next This is only to
aid in removing the 'cast." The
ribbed shirt is put on next, wrong
/ side out. Every wrinkle should be
pulled out and the garment worked

tise on Hawaii as q winter resort, but
q tale OF one OF tie difficulties which
the local territorial immigration sta
ton Is often called upon to put up
with. II comes from Ralph A. Kearns.
commissioner and secretary Of the de
partment OF immigration. labor and
statistics, corroborated by Manager
Baldwin of the Maui Agricultural Com
pany.
1t was last September that ~
Spanish families, consisting Of 10 HG-
sons. quit work on the Maui planta-
ton and came to Honolulu. The heads
OF the families claimed that they were
sick and when they arrived here went
to the Spanish consul, who referred
them to Mr. Kearns.
The fathers claimed that they had
received medical attention at the
plantation, but that 1t had done them no
good. So they had come to Honolulu
to see what their consul would do
about 1t. II further developed that
the men had gone 20 Japanese doctor
In Paia and got some medicine from
him, but this, II seems, also did them
no good.
Mr.. Kearns did not think the men
we're sick. They did not look as II
they were. Probably they had been
smoking too many cigarettes, he
thought, or not paying sufficient atten.
ton to their food. Mr.. Kearns says
that he took them into his care and
for two weeks fed and lodged them al
the immigration station.
In the interim Mr.. Kearns communi
Gated with Manager Baldwin Of the
plantation at Pala. from whence the
Spanfards had come to Honolulu Mr.
Baldwin advised. him that the Span,
iards had left the plantation OF their
own voiitlon, and he consented to
take them back.
The Spaniards were told they might
return to the plantation, draw theiI
$24 month for their work, get credit
at the plantation store, and that the
fathers could secure treatment at the
hospital Ii they we're sick and unable
to work.
The Spaniards went back to The
plantation October 8. About two
weeks later the Spanish consul receiy
led letter from them in which they
said that the plantation had not lived
up 70 the conditions OF their goine
back. and had not given them the at
tention they expected. II things did
not change, they wrote, they were
going to come back to Honolulu
Then Mr.. Kearns wrote to Manager
Baldwin and asked him for the facts
In reply Manager Baldwin stated that
since their arrival the Spaiards had
done absolutely no work, had drawn
goods and food at the plantation store
and when asked II they wanted treat
ment at the hospital said they would
rather .be shot than 90 to the hos
