Roy Chapman Andrews, of New York,

that as a result Of the world-hunt for

The solution of the immigration

"I'll tell you" said Joe. SAILS a
mighty brave girl-that is, she's a wild
OW. She was married on Rome four
years ago last Christmas, and the
autumn after he got his back broke to
the Red Star lumber camp, leaving
Sally just enough dollars to carry her
over the birth of her son. To make a
long story short, there was lots of the
boys ready to fill dead man ROne's
place when they knew her money must
be giving out, and the neighbors were
wonderful interested to know which
Sal would take. But it soon come out
that Sal wasn't taking any of them,
but had decided to try what she could
do with the trappfHe4 herself.
Just that. Rome worked a line o.
traps, and Sal was fixed to make her
living and the boys that way. Said q
woman was liable to be as successful
trapper as man. She's at it near
three year now, and she's made good.

Individual Soap Safest

I read, week or so ago. tho complaint of a woman who was poisoned by wearing silk stockings before washing them. You warned the rest of us against doing the same Can you find room for a warning word to all members of the family not to use soap that has been washed with by others? Years ago dear friend of mine had a bad case of skin poison contracted in hotel from toilet soaps, and today kind 1t seems like a vast de2 of trouble to have separate washcloth and a cake of soap for each member of the household. Really 1t involves less care than one might think, Nobody thinks of using another persons toothbrush! In my family there are my husband, myself and three boys. Each has his hook in the bathroom for washcoth and towel and his own soapdish on the shelf above. We take it as a matter of course and would not be content to have 1t differently. should like to hear what other readers have to say upon this matter.
 MRS. l.. B. T."
 l invite opinions. brief and strongly ex- pressed upon the subject laid before us by our member. For my own part, l carry my own 'individual' cake of soap whenever l leave home, and keep it in a private drawer while l am there lest 1t should be used 'by mistake" by any body else. What say the rank and file of housewives?

Putting Up Grape Juice

T should like very much to have a good recipe for putting up grape juice.
 MRS. W. H."
 Stem six quarts of ripe grapes and put them over the fire in porcelain lined kettle with one quart of water Crush slightly with potato beetle and bring 1t slowly to the boil. Strain through a cheesecloth bag when they have boiled five minutes. return the juice to the kettle. boil up sharply and skim off all the scum. Have ready bottles sterilized by scalding and corks floating in boiling water. Fill the hot bottles with the boiling liquid dipped directly from the kettle; cork at once and dip the corks in mixture of resin and sealing wax. Let the bottles get perfectly cold before wrapping each in thick paper and laying on the sides in a box of sand. Turn them once a month. Another way Is to bruise the grapes in a wooden vessel or crock with a potato beetle Squeeze out every drop of juice through double cheesecloth and bring to a hard boil. Remove the scum carefully, boil one minute when the surface is clean. and bottle as directed above. It will be seen that no water is added to the juice in this recipe.

q wish very much that you would print the addresses of those whom you would have us help. I wanted to send something to the little colored shut-in l read of the other day. I lost her ad- dress and was completely at sea. Every week could help somebody of whom I read if I but knew where to find her, or did not have to write for the address.
 MRS GAL"
 Against your proposal set scores of en- treaties: Please do not print my name or address!' It is opposed to our rules to violate condolences by publishing names and addresses. Were 1t done. no delicate minded person would advertise his or her sorrow or want through our Corner. It would sAvor too much of public mem dicancy of doing it. Why not make q memorandum of the requests you wish to answer and not trust a memory burdened with weightier matters? It is little trouble to clip out the letter and inclose to us with a few words to let us know your generous desire. We thank you for wish ing to aid our needy and suffering. Do not balk 1t by hesitating to write brief note to us. It would encourage us to know what you are doing.

Children Maimed for Gain

Some alarming statements respecting
 the traffic in children have been pub-
 licly made by Sister Arendt of Stutt-
 gart According to this woman, who
 vas formerly a policewoman at Stutt-
 Gart, there exists an organized traffic of particularly shameful kind in chill dren, who are said to be hired out to bcggars and let out to work for profit and for immoral purposes, says the London Times. The abuses of baby farming are also mentioned.
 This arraignment is directed in par ticular against Germany and other con- tinental countries. but as the traffic in children was stated by Sister Arendt to he just as great in England. informa- ton has been obtained from the best sources in London in order to check the charges Except in regard to the evils of baby farming no confirmation of the sweeping indictment can be found. Mrs. Bramwell Booth, who was for many years at the head of the women 8 rescue work of the Salvation Army dues not believe that there is tos<any considerable extent organized traffic of the kind described. The same informa- tional Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
 Sister Arendt told of Russian insti- tution for crippled children where the police found no fewer than 7S little ones who had been mafmed in order that they might be let out as beggars. Cases of this kind. however. find no parallel in England
 Isolated cases sometimes appear in the police courts. such as that of . child whose eyes were poisoned by its
 raother in order to awaken public sym fhv for begEinK purposes, but this ik

NOTHING TANGIBLE
 IN BANKCONF
General Financial Situation Shows Improvement Over
 a Week Ago
By HOP

New York. August 2S.-Although den- nite developments are lacking. the gen
 eral financial situation shows general improvement over week ago. The posi- ton of the market has been strength ened by the various plans evolved in con neetion with the foreign exchange sit. uation and legislative action, including the passage by the Senate of the war risk insurance bill. has relieved some of the endorsements connected with foreign trade.
 It is understood nothing tangible has thus far come of the conferences of banks relative to the proposed purchase of trans atlantic ships with American capital
 The war shows increasing effect upon business in general which is more un- settled than a week ago. Industries more or less dependent upon Europe for their supplies are the greatest sufferers, but domestic operations are being checked. especially in the south and southwest. where SO much depends upon the mar keting of cotton. Many obligations as- sumed by planters and their banks are soon to mature. Large advances have already been made to handlers of the staple. and it is hoped that the interna- tonal conference soon to be held in this connection will be fruitful of results Domestic conditions continue to show betterment Judging from advices re- ceived by local banks. The demand for emergency currency seems to have been fully met, and interior banks are releas- ing funds in moderate amounts for mer- cantlle paper. The local market for l money continues somewhat narrow. with g q matlrities Last weeks bank statement was favorable in the main, showing a cash gain of almost $5,000.0oO instead of the further loss looked for. while the deficit in cash reserves was reduced to $42, 719,90o, compared to almost sis. 100000 last week
