Paris-When the Bank of France
transferred its headquarters to Bor-
deaux it destroyed all its banknote
plates to avoid the possibility of their
falling into the hands of those who
might know how to make use of them
in case worse comes to worst.
The mint was also transferred to
Castelsarrazin where new coins of the
denominations of two francs and one
franc will be coined. These war coins
will appeal particularly to collectors
as they will be honored with dis

London.-The report that some 20O.-
900 men OF the British forces lack
overcoats has prompted a retired ma
val officer to suggest an American
idea During the civil war in Amer
ica." he writes in a letter TO the
Times, "the confederate soldiers made
good overcoats out of blankets. A slit
was cut in the center just large enough
to put the head through. The slit was
then stitched to preyent its get
ting larger. A fiat button was then
sewn on one side at the center of
the slit, and tab with a buttonhole
on the other side. so as to close the
hole when not in use. Some of the
southerners added a small slit or a
piece of tape in which they carried a
tooth brush instead of a flower"

London.-During the height Of the

have urged that all carrier pigeons be

defense of the birds. They point out
that the breeding of racing pigeons is
a highly developed industry and the
sport itself almost national pastime.
says one writer III the LOHuOu II ASlu-
Great misconception seems to be
abroad as to the danger of so-called
carrier pigeons. To any sensible man
the danger is removed by the police
restrictions and the fact that birds
will, practically speaking. only usefully
fly in one direction lie, that in which
they have been trained fer racing).
The danger of birds being released. say
in Lancashire, in order TO convey aliens
or enemies information to the con-
tinen., is almost nil. Such birds, to
be of the slightest value, would have
to be continental birds already train
ed to fly the distance in the right di-
rection. and it is absurd to suppose
that aliens wishing to communicate
with one another in England should
use the cumbrous and risky method of
the pigeon, while, so far as is known.

ORIENTAL Wells.

The new veilings designed for
wear with the small new spring hats
are exceedingly original. being fash
oned of fine plain gauze or net in
let just across the eyes, the upper
and lower part OF the rest of the
veil being heavily worked with lace
like patterns thus making the lower
features almost indistinguishable.
To the fortunate possessors of fine
eyes this effect is exceedingly be-
coming; also it gives distinctly
Eastern appearance, achieving in
this manner an European modifica-
ton OF the yashmak.
These yashmak wells are made in
all varieties of nets and laces
white, black and in various colors
to match the accompanying head

COOKING TERMS DEFINED

Different terms are properly used
for different methods of combining
ingredients in cooking, as any one
who has handled cook book very
much must know. But everyone who
has tried to cook does not know just
what these various terms signify.
Stirring is one thing, beating is
another folding and cutting are yet
others-that, we all know. But what
are they?
Stirring is effected with circular
motion, widening from the center.
That is the technical description.
Beating is the operation which in
closes air in the ingredients beaten.
This can be done in any way tina
separates the particles of the ingred-
tents one from another and so lets
in the air
Folding is the term applied to the
motion which prevents the air al
he same time mixes the ingredients
concerned 1t is this motion which
must be used when whipped cream
beaten egg whites and other light
and beaten ingredients are mixed to-
gether or with more solid masses.
Cutting is the lghtest sort of mix
ing-hardly mixing at all. Shorten
ing is sometimes cut into flour with
knife But the shortening and
flour cannot be mixed completely by
cutting
Keep the meaning of these terms
in mind when you cook according to
a recipe. Remember thai an ordn-
airy cake you stir and beat. An ONE
let you beat and fold. and you do
the same thing to a sponge cake

MAKING FOR PRETTiNESS

A woman who has always thought
it wise to improve her appearance
whenever possible observed early in
life that sagging muscles OF the face
are bar to good looks. Realizing
that this condition of the muscles
was natural tendency she imme-
diately adopted he plan of always
washing and driving her face up in
stead OF down.
In speaking of this simple but
wise method she said; To-day, al
Il, not muscle in my face has fall
en-; there are no droopy lines in it,
and no sagging shows at my chin.
My eyelashe5 are always noticed be

FOR A YOUNG MOTHER.

A useful gift for young mother
is crocheted lap cover to use
when handling a young baby. |,
is a crocheted square made in a
combination of star-stitch two rows,
then single crochet two rows. which
makes very agreeable pattern,
though any stitch may be used.
Use the single four-fold or eight
fold Germantown yarn. making two
little squares about one foot in size.
Join these with a lattice-work OF
treble crochet on three sides, leav-
ing one open to slip in piece of
rubber sheeting Finish with a
small scallop and run ribbon or cord
made of the twisted yarn through
the lattice-work to finish.
These wash nicely, and are very
serviceable. They have the effect
of small, square, flat pillow and
can be carried in the baby's buggy.

BROKEN ARCHES.

Many women and even young
girls are suffering from broken arch.
IS The term broken does not mean
that any bone is broken, but the
muscles are strained to the breaking
point and the tissues are broken
down
Walking is then made difficult
and the feet are sore and tired all
the time Steel arches are worn by
some people to support the instep
and rest the feet from the weight
of the body.
People should realize what re-
sponsibility is placed upon two such
small affairs as the feet and respect
them.

They can easily be removed without
leaving a scar. First battle the face
in warm water until the flesh be-

fine cambria needle which has been
sterilized by dropping it into boiling
water. Press or pick out the sub
