What the Dressmaker Saws.

In sewing trimmings on a hat it is
hard for the home milliner to fasten
the ends of the threads. but II you
will leave one end loose, instead OF
drawing the knot close to the hat, and,
after securing the trimming. tie the two
ends together, the effect will be better.
To fasten blue serge, sponge it in
blue water and hang it in the air to
dry.
To prevent silk skirt from cracking
press it all over with a hot iron before
wearing 1t.
To make a heavy sewing table cushion,
fII a stout cover with rice. This makes
a very heavy cushion that can be used
as a weight.
Sew the skirt binding on the hem of
your skirt before you press it. Press
ing the goods hattens it, and it becomes
dificuIt to fell the braid on a thin
fabric without stitching through 1t.
If for any reason, either poor eye
sight or lack Of light at machine, one has
difficulty in threading the machine
needle, try holding a piece of white
cloth or paper on the opposite side of
the needle eye, which will then be so
prominent that threading win be easy.

may knit. But the woman of now is not
the woman Of then, as the wreath of
cigarette smoke demonstrates.
The habit of smoking in public has
grown among fashionable women And,
indeed, II they smoke in the boudOuir,
why shouldn't they smoke in the res
taurant? But even four or five years
ago the New York hotels and restaurants
would not have countenanced cigarettes
in the mouths OF the women who patron
lied them. Suddenly they all gave in TO
demand. They had to.
In Philadelphia at the Bellevue-S STRAIT
ford one evening one of the most prom
inent society women lighted a cigarette.
Every one around her was shocked. The
manager finally came to her and said
that her smoking would not be coun-
tenanCed She told him that he would
not stop. She did not stop. and the pre-
cedent was established. Since then wom-
en- have smoked there when they pleased.
The precedent was established in
other hotels in other cities in the same
way. until now smoking even in a con-
servative place, like Sherry's, causes no
comment.
The Committee of Mercy benefit, by
the way. was quite successful. At lunch
con and dinner and for the dancing in
the evening over $500 was realized by
Mr.. Sherry for the desolated women and
children of Europe.
To get back to the old-fashioned sill
houtte. Already there are indications of
change. But the change will prob
ably only bring about something more
old-fashioned Big skirts, even fcrin-
oline-like proportions seem destined to
come, and tight bodices will probably
come with them.

Too Much Butter.

An ounce day of butter is a very

Is no need for butter with jam or mar
malade or bacon or fried food or with
cheese and biscuits after a good dinner
A crust of dry bread that needs chewing
Is better finale for both teeth and d.

What the Cook Saws.

Potatoes boiled in their skins make
nicer salad than those pared raw. Cold
baked potatoes likewise make better fried
potatoes than when cooked, raw or
boiled.
To blanch almonds pour boiling water
over them and leave them till the water
is cold, when the skins will be quite
loose.
If half bottle of olives has been used
and you wish to keep the rest, add a
pinch of salt to the brine, pour a tea
spoonful OF olive oil into the liquid and
replace the cork.
To make good sweet potato pie, take
a cup of mashed sweet potato, a tea
spoonful of cinnamon, half a teaspoonful
Of salt, same Of nutmeg and ginger, half
a cup of sugar, a cup of milk and one
well-beaten egg. Bake for half an hour
in a slow oven.
A delicious sandwich paste is made
from shredded lettuce, chopped pimolas,
and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.
Mix with mayonnaise end spread on but
tered slices Of brown bread.
A savory breakfast dish may be made
as follows: One large cup Of calves liver
and bacon minced. half Of a sweet green
pepper cut fine, all Drowned well in a
pan literally creased with butter and
then four eggs stirred in until the eggs
are set.
A fiIlet of beef requires a longer time
for roasting than any other cut or kind
Of meat. Usually half an hour to the
pound is none too long time. Pork comes
next; the average time allowed for a
roast Of pork is twenty minutes to the
pound.

TRAFFIC CLUB HITS
MOTOR TRUCK BAN
May Protest Jersey City Ordi-
nance Closing Streets to
Business Autos.

1t is probable that the Newark
Traffic Club will take some action in
regard to the ordinance which has
been In force in Jersey City since De-
cember 1 which prohibits the use OF
asphalt streets by motor trucks. a
complete report on the matter was
made at the monthly meeting of the
club at the Washington last night
by Mark T.. Winans, chairman of the
motor truck committee.
He stated that the enforcement of
the ordinance was greatly interfering
with business men and manufactur-
ing concerns, not only of Jersey City,
but also those Of this entire section,
who have occasion to make use Of the
streets of Jersey City with motor
trucks.
The legality of the ordinance was
strongly questioned. The report was
finally referred to the board of gov
ernors of the club, which will decide
what action the club shall take.
The club, which is entering on its
sixth year, decided to hold it's first
dance at the Washington, on April
"a. This IL quite an innovation for q
traffic club, as they usually confine
themselves strictly to business affairs.
The dance will hereafter be an an
nual affair. The club, it was reported
by E. e. Stone chairman of the mem
bership committee, had reached a
membership of I'll.

ing done in handling matters con-
corning traffic and transportation.

lamps of various types. He gave q
short history of the various forms of
illumination. from the embers OF
the camp fire down to the latest i'm

Eastman Co. of New Jersey
Shows SI4,l62,436 Profits

NEW YORK, April THE report
of the Eastman Kodak Company of
New Jersey for the year ended De-
cember 81, 1918, shows that after the
payment of preferred dividends
there remained a balance of 1892,
f9s, which was equivalent to 70.61
per cent. on the $19.532, 800 common
stock, as compared with $13,629, l05 or
6981 per cent. earned on $40, 522, 800
stock the year previous.
Net profits were $14 1872, 43G, against

TELLS HOW TO
CUT FUEL BILL
Associate Editor of Power
Speaks Before Stationary En-
gineers and Manufacturers.

Charles II. Bromley, associate
editor Of Power, publication de-
voted to engineering, addressed local
engineers and manufacturers at the
Market street headquarters of the
National Association of Stationary
Engineers last night. He told OF the
steady increase in the price of the
finer grades of anthracite steaning
Goals and how saving In this direc-
ton could be brought about.
Mr.. Bromley stated that the cost of
power for manufactures was from
to 10 per cent. of the total cost. and
Tor that reason many mill owners
We're prone to regard as trivial any
plan to reduce the power costs. Ac-
cording to the speaker, the cost of
fuel amounts to between so and rs
per cent. of the total cost of power,
and, as the coal consumption of many
large mills is thousands of tons an
nually, the Importance of more scien-
tific methods of purchase and use Is
evident.
To illustrate the effect Of the adj
vance in the price OF fine anthracite,
the lecturer said that one local firm
was able, eighteen years ago, to save
$4,000 year by using this coal in
stead of larger grades. Today the
greatest saving possible on the same
consumption is only $500 year.
The lecturer, in urging manufact-
urers to buy their coal on specifca-
ton, either individually or Jointly
through a purchasing committee, as
sured them that the plan was per-
fectly feasible, as most local concerns
could use the same grades by slight
methods, both Of which are mex
pensive. That loose" methods in
loiler-room practise must be cor
rected before the greatest possible
saving would be realized, IL evident
from Mr.. Bromley's assertion, that
in most places the losses due TO In
complete combustion of the fuel
amount, in many cases, to one-quar-
ter and one-half of the total fuel
consumption. When it Is known,
Mr.. Bromley stated, that these losses
may be stopped without spending
one-tenth of l per cent. of the saw
ing possible, the great opportunities
in this direction are evident.
That cities and States as well as
manufacturers could adVantageously
purchase coal on specification Is evil
danced by the fact that the first year
that New York city bought coal in
this way a saving of over $500, 900 was
realized. By following the same
course New York State expects to
save about 5000, 900 q year on its coal
bills. This State uses about 100000
tons a year in its forty-two institu-
tons.
Mr.. Bromley stated that II local
manufacturers who use thousand
tons or more each year were to buy
their coal In this way through joint
committee, that would create o test
ing bureau to che : the quality of
each shipment, the t years saving
would more than pay all initial ex-
penSes.
