will have the appearance OF being dia-
mond shaped instead of square. Then
proceed to sew them together on the ma
chine. The machine stitching will make
them stronger than hand sewing could
possibly do. Stitch them about an inch
from the edge, so as to leave two little
flaps as an ornamental edge. The lower
slanting sides of the diamond are sewed
together along their full length. The
two upper slanting sides OF the dia-
mond are sewed only half way, the
upper Tapping points of the handker-
chiefs, which are without stitching, are
then turned back and creased and press
ed along the turning to make them stay
in place. Two pieces of ribbon are then
tackled to each end of the opening thus
made by the turned back flaps. The two
ends of ribbon are then joined in a bow,
forming hanger for the bag. The rib
bon should match the color of the bor-
ders ON the handkerchiefs.
Bordered handSerchiefs make very
pretty sailor collars for wearing outside
of the coat or even on the thin white
shirtwaist, Simply cut piece for the
neck in one side of the handkerchief, face
or bind the raw edge thus made, and
the collar is complete. The front of the
collar may be sloped off into points or
may be left square at the ends Just as

THE HIGH COST OF WATER

IF. S. Dickson in July Yale Review
In one item at least, the cost of liv-
ing has been increased out of all rea-
son-pure water. Our fathers found
it everywhere, to be had for the TAX
ing; but modern sanitation has be-
fouled every stream, poisoned every
WELL and rendered every spring an OBJ
iect of suspicion. If there be moss
covered bucket" left anywhere, 1t
would have to be sterilized before
using. Untold millions have been spent
to give cities and towns pure water,
and after we have paid the resulting
taxes we are warned by boards OF
health to boil the water before drink
ing. The fever we get in the autumn
we are told we brought with us from
the country, wheer the water is only
less dangerous than the milk. Usually
a city draws it's water from the same
stream in which it deposits its sewage,
with a shrug for the towns below, and
u curse for those above. In the sum-
mer of 1913 a fish, by some mischance,
found itself in the Passaic river. and
tried to escape by jumping. The event
was so extraordinary that 1t was sober
ly chronicled on the front pages OF
the New York papers. Yet there was
a time, not so many years ago, when
this stream supplied much of the food
for the people who lived on its banks.
We pay from 10 to 15 cents a gallon
for water with a modest pedigree, but
a high clascs certificate of purity costs
us 40 cents, If we return the jug. The
man who gets this price for water Is
admired for his Yankee shrewdness,
while the men who supplies us with re-
fined kerosene at less than a third of
this price is deemed worthy OF fine

THE HIGHWAY HoLD-UP

IFrom the Pittsburgh Gazette -Timesl
The course of Auditor General
Powell and State Treasurer Young in
continuing their obstructive tactics
with regard to. the use of automobile
fees by the Highway Department for
the repair of State roads smacks much
of politics. They have appealed to
the Supreme Court from the decision
of Judges McCarrell and Henry sit
ting in the Dauphin County Court
upholding the constitutionality of the
motor license bill of 1913 and have
asked that the appeal shall act as a
supersedeas, thus effectually tying up
the accumulated fees until the issue
is finally determined. This may throw
the whole matter over until Fall, when
the road repairing season will have
ended. Meanwhile there is a State
campaign impending in which two
parties are arrayed against the Re-
publicans and the present adminis-
tration naturally will be attacked. Mr..
Powell and Mr.. Young were nomi-
mated and elected as Republicans in
1912, but the State Treasurer was no
sooner in Office than he formally an
nounced his withdrawal from the Re-
publican party, and Mr.. Powell has
been openly operating with the Wash
ington party this year, after having
done all he could for two years to
defeat and embarrass Republicans.
The effect of delay in road repairs is
to arouse public sentiment against the
administration of Governor Tener and
to subject him and the Highway De-
partment to criticism and abuse for
neglect of duty. The fact that the
Governor and Commissioner Bigelow
have gone to the limit of their author
ity to avail the department of idle
funds in the treasury, and which can
be used for no other purpose, in order
to repair roads all over the State, is
lost sight of in the condition of dis
repair which exists and has become a
reproach. The public does not under
stand that by every proper legal pro-
cedure efforts have been made to COM
pei compliance with the law on the
part of the Auditor General, and that
even with a mandamus issued he has
stubbornly refused to act. being keenly
alive to the knowledge that delay is
calculated to reflect on the admins
tration and in that manner injure the
Republican party. In this matter
Governor Tener and Commissioner
Bigelow are clearly the victims OF
Misrepresentation, a form of injustice
regardless of the merits of the Audi
tor Generals contention, since inter
ruption of highway work is in nc
sense due to dereliction of the ad-

TILL in the harness at 76 is the
proud record of John Wana-
~ maker, merchant prince of
Philadelphia, who will celebrate
his birthday tomorrow by going to
his office as usual and putting in a
full day at his desk.
Mr.. Wanamaker has been a hard
worker all his life. His activities
have not been confined by any manner
of means to the gigantic task of build

fecting of business organization that

time to take a great interest in re-
1igious work, to be president of the
Pennsylvania Sabbath School Asso-
citation, to participate in politics and
to be Postmaster General of the coun-
try when the postal department was
in one of its most active stages.
Mr.. Wanamaker has been success
full to a degree approached by very
few men. He has an ample fortune
and might have retired years ago to
rest or to pursue some favorite
hobby" Instead, he has chosen to
find his recreation'in his store and to
make a hobby of his business. He

porter who buys them more cheaply
abroad than he can at home-thus
depriving Americans of work that
should be rightfully theirs-and who
puts in his own pocket the money he
saves by reason of the Democratic
tariff.
The only thing the new tariff has
done is to cut down the output of
American mills and put gold in the
purses of the foreign mill owner and
his colleague, the importer or jobber
The only excuse President Wilson
offered for the tariff that is cutting
the heart out of American industry is
that it would reduce prices. Instead.
as we have shown, prices have ad-
vanced.
Is 1t any wonder. then. that the
newspapers are filled with letters, like
that quoted from the Ledger, from
correspondents indignant with an ad-
ministration that promised so much
and has failed so lamentably?

THE G. e. MOVEMENT

xARRISBURG will be happy to
IL welcome back the Christian
! Endeavor delegates of the
State when they come here in
1s16 for their biennial convention.
The fact that this city was chosen as
the place of meeting over Philadel-
phia and Allentown is no small COM
pliment to Harrisburg and is a tribute
to the energy and hospitality of the
local societies that banded themselves
together in support of President Hug
gins and other leaders who went to
Uniontown to extend the invitation.
The great success of the State con-
vention held here more than decade
ago is still remembered by Endeav-
orers all over Pennsylvania. 1t set
an example that other cities have
since followed and the convention of
1916 will no doubt far exceed it in
size and interest.
Directly following the first Harris
burg gathering. it was reported that
the Christian Endeavor movement had
reached its high-water mark and was
on the wane. From time to time these
rumors have been current, but they
have not been substantiated, and DR..
Clark, founder of the organization. in
a letter to the Uniontown convention
says: Our cause was never so strong
either in our own country or other
lands as to-day" 1t is bringing church
denominations more closely together
and arousing in young people a whole
some interest in religion that steadies
their course through years of after
life. 1t is composed of a membership
the like of which Harrisburg delights
to entertain, and there will be no
doubt of the warmth of the city's
welcome in 1916.

That is just the point.
The Wilson tariff was designed-if
we are to take at their face value the
oft-repeated campaign arguments of
President Wilson and his supporters
especially for the benefit of the con-
sumner.
The wicked businessmen of the
country-ably abetted by the greedy
American manufacturers-were in a
tariff conspiracy to keep duties so
high on imports of household necessi-
ties and foodstuffs that they could
charge the consumer what they
pleased.
The whole Democratic theory was
that LIVING WAS HIGH BECAUSE
THE TARIFF WAS HIGH.
Therefore, remove the tariff and
down would go prices. The working
man and everybody else wearing
clothing and eating food would be
benefited. 1t was remarkably simple
But how has it worked out?

PSYCHOLOGY AND SUGAR

following very pertinent lei
ter appears in the Public Ledge
- of Philadelphia:
To the Editor of the Public Ledger.
Sir-We were assured by Mr..
Wilson that the tariff was a tax on
the consumer and that its reduc-
tion would cause a fall in the price
of commodities.
Before the new tariff on sugar
went into effect the retail price OF
refined granulated here was 4 cents.
Since the change the price has ad-
vanced to y cents.
This is probably either a conspir-
acy TO discredit the administration
or psychological phenomenon, but
the poor man has to pay the in
creased price all the same.
