DAMS THAT ROLL UP.

Dams that may be rolled up out OF
streams in order to provide an unob-
structed channel for the passage Of
food flows are beginning to come
into favor in the United States.
They were first used in Germany in
1902, and since that date have been
adopted extensively in Europe, but
American engineers, until recently,
have regarded them with skepticism.
1t is significant. therefore. that the
United States reclamation service has
installed a rolling dam on the Boise
irrigation project in Idaho, and others
are in course Of construction in this
country.
These dams, instead of being solid
barriers of masonry, are hollow CYL
indrical steel shells, which look very
much like elongated boilers. Each
end is fitted with a gear, which en-
cages in an inclined rack, and hosting
machinery is provided so that the dam
may be rolled up on it's inclined guides
clear of the stream. OF course the
rolling type of dam is not suitable I'M
der conditions which call for very
high structure TO impound water

Sand Piles in School Yards

Every school should have its sand
pile for the young children. This is
quite as necessary in the country as
in the city. Not many country schools
are surrounded by good. clean sand.
Country children, above all children,
need to learn how to pay and how to
express themselves in various ways,
says the Ladies Home Journal. The
sand pile should be as large as the
amount of space afforded the younger
children will allow. 1t gives these
little ones world of their own where
they are free to work out the thought
'ood from their home and school

A FREE HOTEL.

At Miramar, ON the island Of Ma
Eorca, in the Mediterranean, is a free
hotel. where accommodations may be
had for three days upon application
to the agents of the Archduke Luis
Salvador of Austria. 1t is beauti-
full spot. and the entire neighborhood
is full of attractions to the traveller.
Attendants in charge look after the
welfare of guests. who must. how
ever, provide for their own food
Beds, linen and table appointments
they receive gratis. and bread and
wine can be obtained very reason
ably 1t is said that this provision
is due to the qualification the Aus
trian owners felt years ago when
thew first came to live at Miramar.
Such peace and such lovllness. they
felt. should be shared by all lovers
of nature who passed that way.-Ar-

The Hem Was Let Down
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Dozen.
VIII you kindly advise me how to
remove a dark line from a pink silk
poplin dress which has been length
ened? Thanking you, l am
Z. NJ. r.
1 think you will have to dip the
entire dress in gasoline to secure
good results.
Let It soak for several minutes,
then rub the soiled part between
the palms until all of the soil Is
loosened.
Souse up and down several times.
Then rinse in ciean gasol-ne and
hang in the air to dry
If you do not want to do this you
might try just cleaning the line
Place clean blotting paper under
meath the so led part. then rub
quickly with the gasoline, using a
soft cloth for the purpose.
Renew the plotting paper as it be-
Comes soiled.
Chloroform is effective for remoy-
ing various kinds of soil. You
might try it if the gasoline fails.
Do not use gasoline in q warm
room or near fire, as it is highly
tnflammable.

How to Keep Your White
Silk Waists Looking Well

White silk shirt waists are very
much i'll vogue and many women like
them Immensely, but the only draw
back to this type of waist is that
after many washings the silk is apt
to become yellow.
To prevent this dip tire waist in a
solution of one tablespoonful of am
monia to a quart Of warm water.
Squeeze out this solution and rinse
in bluing water until fully restored.
Hang in the shade to dry and while
damp press between dry cloths on
the wrong side.
Another way TO take the yellow
tinge from silk is to dissolve four
ounces of salt and four ounces of
oxalic acid in six quarts of water.
Immerse the silk in this solution until
ii is bleached white.
This win require half an hour or
more.
Rinse thoroughly.

advise me what to use to clean
them? Do you advise mo to use
gasoline on them? Hoping to see a
reply | am, MRS Z. ]. D..

patent cleaners on the market.
Buckskin shoes should be cleaned
often, as they are hard to manage
when they become very much soiled.
The patent cleaners contain pipe
clay and other things which I could
recommend to you.
II you use time and patience and
elbow grease I am sure the shoes

The mixture should be heated a

Three Little Kitchen Helps

There are two ways of keeping reci-
pes, one Of placing each on card
under @ different classification and
another OF placing each miscellan-
eously in a book. AS recipes accumu-
late SO rapidly it Is wise to use the
card cabinet. Then. when recipe
can be replaced by better one, the
old can be easily removed.
Many steps can be saved in a
kitchen by placing utensils in ISL
tions near the place they are usually
wanted for use.
If your sink or stove is too low to
work over with comfort, either can be
raised. This will require but a few
moments and will save much strain
on the back muscles when bending
over work.
