FOREST SERVICE MONEY


 The general public knows that it's money is used in administer ing the National Forests in the same manner as it is used in sup porting the army. building battle ships, reclamation projects, etc. But ordinarily it is not well in formed of the details of such ex- penditures. Thus while the people of Arizona and New Mexico know that their money goes toward the administration of the National Forests within the States, yet very few indeed of the manner Tn which it is expended.
 Int allotment for District 8 of the Forest Service, winch in- cIudes the National Forests in the States of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1914, totals $542, 974. On the basis of the net acreage of National Forests with in these three States. the cost of administration and protection and of 1 acre of land amounts to about two and one-half cents. Yet based on actual operating ex- penses, the cost of administra- tion could be considerably reduc- ed. To further erplain. the total allotment received includes over $1O0, 900 which will be expended on work which brings in no direct money returns. For example; $15, GOO. will be expended in classify ing the lands within the Forests, the object being to definitely as- certain the amount and location of lands chiefly valuable for agriculture, to provide for home steaders. However, the consum- nation of this work should reduce the cost of administration to an appreciable extent.
 The sum of $2O, 900. will be ex- pended in making final surveys of Forests Homesteaks: in pre- Yious years, the homesteader personally paid from his own pocket for such surveys. for the expenses incurred in actually fighting fire S1O, ,0O0. has been set aside, to be used. of course, only when needed. Planting trees, the maintenance of two Forest nur- series and one experiment stat ion. and carryiag on forest in- vestigatIve work will cost about $15, 900. To further axtend tele- phone lines, roads, and tralls, and construct lookout towers, cabins, fences, tanks, etc, will mean the expenditure of $45, 900.
 On the basis of straight operat- ing expenses alone, the Forests of District 8 are self-supporting, slnce the receipts approximately | total operating expenses. But operating expenses also include the use of funds on much work | that does not bring receipts, For instance; timber is giving away | free to homesteaders and others entitled to it under the regula- tions. The fees charged for the grazinglof cattle, sheep and goats is not based on the actual com mercial value of the forage, but rather on the cost of administra- tion of this activity. The receipts iron this source would probably be more than double the receipts now obtained if the charge for grazing was based on the actual value of the forage crop. When prospective settlers apply for a homestead within a National Forest, the examination of the tract is made free of charge. Then too, many permits for oc- cupancy of National Forest lands are issued without charge. |

Long Tunics Are in Vogue.

THE forthcoming long tunic is the
! friend of the stout and short wom-
an. The prevailing hip draperies. pan
niers. hustle effects and tunics arranged
at the hips are only suitable for young
and slender figures. For the young cir
and slender woman these bouffant styles
are more becoming than are the tunics
which reach well below the knees.
Several forms OF the long tunic are
seen, such as the box-pleated style, the
side-pleated effects. those with pleated
panels back and front and the gathered
overskirt, set on at a line about five
inches from the waist. The joining of
the skirt-yoke and OF the overdrapery ia
often effected by means of a one-fnch
heading in the form, of a ruff1e.
The long apron drapery, which reaches
the skirt edge in front and is slightly
drawn up in the back. is one form OF the
long tunic. In some draperies the line
is straight around the bottom. In 9TH
ers it extends in tapering outline from a
point slightly above the knees in front to
near the skirt edge in the back. Then
again the line is reversed, the shorter
line coming In the back, with rounded
point in front. The underskirt shows just
enough to suggest a pettfcoat.
This underskirt may be of heavy ma
terial in matching or contrasting shade.
or in net lace. organdy, Roman striped
silk or moire. Some start from a small
round yoke. Others are shirred in at the
waist line. Some are pleated and others
are made in straight circular effect.

FADS OF TEA DRINKERS

made of filet lace. mounted over silk. and
padded heavily under the silk. Pink Is
the color usually of the silk. but any de-
sired color can be used, to match the
other fittings of the tea table.
Covers for plates of cakes and sand
wiches also are made of filet lace,
mounted on wire frames to give them the
proper form Some are square, some
round and domelike, and they are made
in various sizes. For refreshments served
on the lawn or veranda these lace covers
are most useful, for they protect the
cakes or sandwiches or biscuits under
them from flies and dust.
In tea carts there are offered some
dainty wagons better suited to boudoirs
than drawing rooms. They are of French
rattan in the natural color. combined
with another delicate tint. They can be
secured in pale blue. pale pink. light
green and pale yellow. to match boudoirs
decorated in such tints. The top has q

are three compartments for the cakes,
crackers, etc, separated by rattan rail-
ings.

T takes courage for a woman to
start an enterprise involving many
thousands of dollars in her own
country. but the amount of bravery
necessary to start one in a foreign
country is not to be reckoned.
fhis kind of courage has been divided
between two women in the newest idea
connected with the dance. which is to
invade the home OF dance restaurants
with an American one Mrs. Hawkes.
worth and Mrs Robert Groner, both Nir-
ginians have undertaken an American
supper club in the heart of the fashion
able summer life of Paris. on the Champs
Elysees. Miss Margaret Hawkesworth is
to dance with Basil Durant each night at
the supper club.
Everything connected with this under
taking is novel. Already there Is an
afternoon tea dance, conducted by Amer
leans, who, like Mrs. Hawkesworth and
Mrs Groner, will cater to those who
want a place to dance where one is sure
of a thoroughly respectable gathering.
There will be thousands of Americans in
Paris during the next three months who
prefer the dance at night to any other
form of entertainment, but when women
and Young girls are to be considered, one
is not sure where to take them.
This is one of the reasons for the OPEN
ing of the American supper clno on lhe
Champes Elysees, that magnificent bouie-
ward. which cuts through the heart or the
French city and leads to the Bols, to the
races. to all the fashionable open-alr
restaurants.
Another reason is that Paris is so
OF
places, and there is so little of the one
step and the hesitation waltz music,
and such an erroneous IDEA on the pal
of Europeans as to how we dance, that
club as a profitable investment to cater
to the American tourist as we'll as 70

to the families who pass through Paris
in June.
The floor will not be taken up with
professionals Those who will show the
American dances are two young peo-
pie. Miss Hawkesworth and Mr.. Durant,
and there will be no teaching. The
spirit of the place will be strictly that
of any the dansant given by hostess
of the social set.
Those who are at the head of the ven
ture have had experience In the greatest
American cities in organizing exactly
such enterprises, and therefore they do
not enter into the undertaking with the
optimism of inexperience or the fear
of ignorance.
If they succeed. they may open the
way for a number of such ventures and

To know how to preserve eggs from
the time when they are cheap to the
time when they are dear is most i'm
portant. AS they cannot go bad with
out oxygen they may be kept for a
long time in powdered charcoal, which
must be renewed at least once a month.
Glycerin il also an excellent pre-
servative for eggs. A mixture of gly7
cerin with half its volume of water
should be prepared. and the eggs
placed in this solution and kept below
the surface by floating piece of wood.
The same solution will serve for con-
slant use for long time, other eggs
being put in when some are removed.
Be sure that the eggs are clean when
put in.
A simple way to test eggs is to make
brine by dissolving two ounces of
eggs in this. An egg laid the same
day will sink to the bottom, an egg
laid the previous day will not sink
quite to the bottom. An egg three
days old will float just under tha
surface, and an older egg win float on
or above the surface.

WiTH the approach of summer. i'm
w porters and dealers in japanese
and other oriental wares are set
ting forth tempting array of trinkets
for the tea table or cart
An attractive offering is the broad. low,
shallow teacup. which has entirely super
seded the slender. high cups once asso-
cated with the tea service These new
cups are broad as or broader across
the top than the ordinary family coffee
cup, and not more than an inch or two
inches in height. They are prettiest in
the eggshell patterns, with the exceed
iugly fine and translucent lining Wedg-
wood is also popular
For use with these cups comes a new
spoon. almost as small as an after-dinn
coffee spoon. In fact, if the hostess
selects her cups carefully, she can en-
pioy the small spoons she already uses
for the demi-tasse. For many years the
vogue has been for collection of odd and
widely different teacups. but now the de-
mand is for complete sets.
An interesting fancy in ,eapots is Of
Satsuma ware which looks like inlaid
work, depicting tiny Japanese scenes.
The pot is small, with fiat bowl. and has
a spout six inches in length. which is
longer than the teapot itself
The perfectly equipped table boasts Of
two teapots. the one in which the tea is
bTewed and the one from which it is
served. A faster. whose word is law
in importing circles. says that the true
taste of tea is lost after it has been
brewed four minutes. AT the end of this
time the only flavor noticeable is the bit
terness Of tannin, the dangerous quality
in tea Hence the secret of making a
delicately favored tea is to serve it after
it has been brewing but a minute or two.
When a large number of persons must
be served in rapid succession. the tea
should be brewed in one pot. permitted

poured through china-not a metal

served. should be covered with a cozy-
