Petrograd.-The Russian general
staff announced today that for the
next few weeks the Olcesst secrecy
would mark operations of the Rus
sian army in Poland. A previous or
der a week ago placed the same ban
on operations in Galicia.
From now until there is some def
mate conclusion to the great conflict
raging along the Vistula river, no
statements which might give the
enemy an inkling Of the disposition Of
Russian forces will be issued.
It is officially admitted that bulk Of
Russian army is now fully engaged
along vast battlefront in Poland. It
opposes combined Austro-German
forces to the extreme south and Ger
man army on center and north.
The Poland campaign is Russia's
supreme effort.
The general staff admits that the
enemy's forces total nearly million
men, being comprised of ten Austrian
army corps, reOrganized after the
defeats inflicted on the Austrian
troops in Galicia, and twelve German
corps, including both those of the
first and second line. 1t is estimated
here that against this vast army Rus

A DREAM THAT'S NOT ALL A
 DREAM.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: I had such a nice dream the other night I want to tell you about it. had been reading the Social Corner Anniversary page, and had just read Rural Delivery's letter when must have fallen asleep.
 We were planning for summer out ing when someone spoke and said:
 "Why not go and give Rural De livery a call and see his pictures"
 Everyone agreed that was just the thing Through the kindness of our Editor all were notified to meet at his home on the 18th of April at o'clock sharp. We went in autos, as Rural Delibery lives on a. farm and the trol leys are not running past there as yet. When we were almost there we heard q strange sound up above Jiss look ing up we saw a largo flying machine almost over our heads, Then some one shouted to us: Are you tho So- cial Cornerite crowd?"
 We replied we were. and then l. came to us who they were. The Editor had sent word to Poinsetua and she had taken her machine and invited our other western sisters to como with her to our party,
 All wore their ribbons and in the first auIe a large flag was flying. When we reached the house the curtains were up and we could see Rural De livery sitting at q table writing awsy

 My own speciality is nraidAd pngs. A good braided rug sells for from s2 to $5 according to size and quality. If one does not havs the rags let the purchaser furnish the material and only charge for the work. Some pre- fer to do so, but either way one can earn quite a few doilarsA
 I never dye the rags for the coiors soon fade and the owner hecomss dissatisfied. Remnants of brighf-col- ored goods may be bought for few cents and will prove mach cheaper in the end.
 Flowers are a source of nanoh pleas . ure as well as profit. But, unless you have much time to devote to them do not attempt to grow only a few com mon varieties Sweet-peas asters. chrysanthemuns, etc, find a ready sale and do not require as much care as the more choice varieties.
 Any one living on a state road. or any road where there is much auto mobile travel has a rare opportunity for turning time into money. Open a and some simple lunch can be quickly and neatly served.

SONS OF VETERANS.

With their patriotism aroused and interest keen for late news from the scene or hostinties in Mexco, the Sons of Veterans, delegates to the an- nual divisional encampment, met at Stamford, Thursday. After head quarters had been established by Commander Harry c. Cooley of Waterbury, the division council met to take up annual reports of the off, cers to formulate the order of busi- ness for the two days session. Com mittees were named on credentials, constitution and laws. rituals and cer- emonies. resolutions ana irarerrsa relations.
 In his report Division Commander Harry C. Cooley said that the past years work left no question in his mind as to the desire of the Grand Army for the future growth and well fare of the Sons of Veterans. In ref erence to Memorial day and Union Defenders day, Commandre Cooley pointed out that 1t has become more and more the duty of the organiza- the observance as the day is coming when the Grand Army will place it entirely upon the shoulders of the Sons.
 The membership of the organization by the March report was 1923. but additions since then have brought the total to 1880, net gain of 225 in 13 months. There are 21 camps with a membership of less than 50 and 31 with less than 75.
 On the financial side the division has about the same balance as a year ago.

HOW TO TURN TIME INTO MONEY

Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner:I thank you all for your kind wishes during my recent illness:' also, for the pretty Easter postcards.
 I wonder if any of the Sisters have wished for chance to earn pin- money. Something that can be done at home and with little or no capital. Any women may turn her leisure hours into money by one or more of the following ways, without taking . step down the social ladder.
 A good cook can always find a ready sale for both plain or fancy cookery. Now, so many city people have summer homes in the country. the farmers wife has equally as good a chance along this line as the city or village housewife
 Home made Jelly, preserves and pickles are for superior to what you can buy in stores, and will almost sell on sight. Always sell direct to the consumer for the middle-man is the one who eats up the profit
 Any one who does nice embroidery, knitting, crocheting, hemstitching or fine work of any kind has an oppor- tunity to earn quite a sum. Hther show or send a sample of your work to those who are able to pay good

three weeks. After taking out. of course. they must be smoked.
 For Dred Beef take a piece of the show meat" for it will be tender and well mixed with fat. Use the tender side of the round, trimming 1t into good shape; for every twenty pounds Of beef take one pint of salt, one tea spoonful of saltpetre and a quarter of a pound of brown sugar. Divide this Into three equal parts, rub them well into the beef for three successive days Put some extra salt in the hole made for the string; turn the meat each day and let 1t lie in the small amount Of liquor that oozes from 1t. Hang 1t in a dry place till it stops dripping when 1t may be wrapped in paper, tied up tightly in a bag and hung away It may mold a little on the outside but can be scrubbed or scraped clean.
 Corned Reef-To corn beef for pres- ent use wipe it and rub hot salt into 1t till it all disappears; add more salt and rub again until the meat will inn dbe no more; lay in crock and stand in cool place for a week, turning every day. when it will be ready for use. To cook 1t, wash well. put it to boil in cold water, bring slowly to 8 boil and simmer half an hour to every pound. If 1t is to be eaten cold allow 1t to cool in the liquor in which it was boiled. or 1t may be pressed by placing while hot between two plates with weight on top, leaving over night.
 BeeFs Tongue-Beef tongues for curing should be we'll mixed with fat Trim them neatly and to every twen- ty pounds-of tongues use a. mixture of pint of salt, teaspoon of salt petre and quarter pound of brown sugar. Drop the tongues into boiling water for three minutes; when cold rub them well with the mixture and sprinkle with it as you pack them closely in an earthen jar; put a weight on top and turn them every other day, putting top ones in the bottom. If they do not make enough pickle to cover them, sprinkle lightly with salt and let them lie ten days. Hang up till dry, then bag away from the flies We think beef better without smok- ing, still if liked smoke with green hickory chips.
 SmithfieId Hams-First be sure to obtain cornfed pork. After the same tablespoonful of saltpetre, then salt well with fine salt; resalt on the third day; then let it lie in salt fifteen days if the weather is moderately warm or twenty if the weather is cold. Wash thoroughly, pepper with black pepper hang it up and smoke it gently until brown. Have fire smothered with oak or hickory chips that have been sat urated in water. The hams should to prevent as little heat as possible from striking them. After the ham has been duly smoked, put it in a bag to keep out worms or flies.
 The above are choice recipes that are favorites among the farmers, who want the best and generally have 1t.

sELF-coMMENDfne ECONOMIES.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I have not meant to be silent for 50 long, but have he'd so many other irons in the fire there has been but little time for letter writing.
 Several of you have spoken of me in your letters and other several have sept me postals. These attentions have been much appreciated and I wish 1t were possible to reply individually. I hope you will forgive me for writing collectively.
 What genuine wintry winter it has been. Although 1t is still too cold to suit old ladies like me. there are some inimations that spring is on the way. Are you not all glad of the lengthen- ing days, and the greater warmth and brilllancy of the sunshine?
 Balsam Fir: l am sorry that you nave been sick We have missed you from Tine Corner and hope you will soon be able to write as of yore.
 Biddy: l made a foaming pudding sauce by recipe which you sent to The Corner. It was delicious and so easily made. l have also made a cara mel pudding according to a Social Cor no rrecfpe, but do not remember which Sister sent the recipe.
 One of Them: Your suggestions were very good. The plan of wearing brown dresses in the spring because they harmoniZe with mud and horse- hairs struck a responsive chord in my H6dI TOT 1 once llNed III Lil6 country, where both those luxuries were plenti- ful and cheap.
 Can any of you suggest a use for Turkish towels which are thin and ravel off? They do not seem quite poor enoug hto throw away, yet are no longer satisfactory as towels.
 I wish to offer some suggestions on two of the housekeepers ever present pPoblems--hoW to reduce expenses and how to save time. This problem is complicated by the fact that often the things which are less expensive re- quiro a greater outlay of time. How ever by study and planning one can save both time and expense, if not simultaneously, yet in separate and small amounts which eventually make quite sizable total,
 Many articles of fecd are more ex- pensiGe bought in packages or jars than by the pound. For instance, a half pound jar of Beech Nut bacon costs 4e cents. Bacon lay the pound can be bought for from Is to B cents and if you get a geed brand it is not much more trouble to slice it.

Just as he opened it, all began to sing the Social Corner hymn and marched in. Myl But wasn't he surprised! What a merry house fuli we were. Rural Delivery kept looking around as if he was looking for some one he hadn't seen. Just then there came another peel of the bell and as Rural Delivery started to answer II the door opened and in came the Editor with several of the brothers. bringing with them a large express package and lots of small bundles. After greet ing Rural Delivery the Editor in be- half of himself and the Social Cor nerites presented Rural Delivery with a handsome writing desk and chair, at which he was to write all of his letters to the Social Corner page.
 There was one peculiar shaped pack age Rural Delivery was asked to open at once. which he did. and found two large wooden spoons exactly alike, only one bore the name of Rural De- livery and the other the Editors. On the handle of each spoon were the names of all the members of the So- cial Corner and in the bowl of the spoons were places for pens. pencils. ink and stamps. Flying from the handle of Rural Deliyery's spoon was a pennant with the initials c. c. $. on it. It was the gift of the Editor When asked what the initials stood for, he said. Good Cornerite Spoon"
 After the Editor and Rural Deliv- cry had somewhat recovered from their surprise they thanked us Tor our s1.ts
