 To begin with, my white cotton frocks and skirts I steep or soak In cold water for an hour before beginning to wash. This I find loosens the dirt and makes it much easier to remove, thus saving labor, soap, and material.
 Really hot water Is essential for all white things to thoroughly cleanse them. and plenty of hard soap.
 Wash them on the wrong side thor oughly, taking all the small parts first, and then the larger. This done, wash the right side in a second bath or hot water. and then wiring thoroughly be- fore rinsing. Rinsing is a most impor- tant point, and for this use warm water Some people, believe. put their things straight into the boiler without really rinsing them at all. but I know well that it is this rinsing that is largely re- sponsible for the pure white of my frocks.

- VERY room in the house should L. boast color scheme, walls, hang
 ings, furniture, carpets, or rugs - so harmonizing as to give de-
 ughtful and restful effect. What ever this color scheme may be. good rug is a crownng point of beauty, adding a charm to the barest room which nothing else can give.
 Oriental rugs are most popular and wear better than any, the price varying according to size and design; and though rather expensive, they are not out of reach of the average moderate income for once purchased they will wear for years and years. Deal with a firm of good repute, who can show selections of vari- ous kinds and guarantee the wear of each. Japanese rugs can be bought in charm ing shades to tone with almost any color. For bedrooms they are particularly suit able either in color combined with white, or in the one tone color now so much in demand The Japanese jute rugs come in handy for laying in front of washstands or for use out of doors. They are cheap but do not wear as we'll as the edges fray rather easily.
 Then there are the rugs of Wilton pile, Administer, Indian, etc., in the most vivid and dizzying designs and colors, but among them really beautiful ones are all ways to be found. Any of these rugs are suitable for any part of the house. so long as the color scheme is observed. There is now little trouble in matching, for dealers are well aware that they must keep a large selection combining different shades, etc.

 bathing from ones own tent IS ! quite the most comfortable method
 of enjoying a dip. A cheap ara roomy tent can be made as follows; By four wooden poles six feet long. Plant these a foot deep at the four corners of four foot six inch square, previously having scraped a little groove round the tops of the poles about an inch from the top.
 For the body and top of the tent.eight yards and a half of awning ffty-fcur inches wide will be required. Cut one yard and three-quarters off this length and put aside. Divide the remaining yards into four pieces of equal length and arrange one piece to cover each side of the tent, and seam, by strongly over sewing with thread, down the selvages at each pole so that the tent has four if m walls.
 The stuff will be just enough to do this nicely. Secure the awning with tapes to the top of each pole firmly, tying these round the little groove so that there VIII

ROTARY CLUB HAS WEEKLY LUNCHEON
100 Plays Big Part in Gathering-Bad
 Checks Discussed
WSI3l.

There are now one hundred Rotary clubs in the United States and the one in Phoenix is number 100. The charter showing the utilization with the inter- national movement was displayed at the weekly monday lunch held at the Arizona club yesterday. There is an other 100 feature to the little engage ment and that is that the Phoenix or ganization, which is rapidly forging ahead, has now just 100 members.
 The affair was in charge of Vic Han ny, and the speaker for the occasion was H. D. Marshall Jr, cashier of the Phoenix National Bank who spoke upon the subject of Bad Checks, urg- ing that an attempt be made when the next legislature meets to get a law placed upon the statute books making the punishment of bad check men much more strict than it now is.
 This provoked general discussion, the majority of the members being of the opinion that something of this sort ought to be done in protection not only of the banks, but also of the merchants and business men of the community John O'Malley will have charge of the next together

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania fla
 vors the incorporation of a state wide prohibition plank in the state
 republican platform. Robert Hunter, well known as a
 settlement worker in New York, has been nominated by the socialist party
 in Connecticut for United States
 senator. James M. Curley, now mayor of
 Boston, has decided to continue as a
 representative in congress until the
 expiration of his term a year hence.
 The progressive party in Maine
 plans to name a complete state tic
 ket at the state convention which has been called to meet in Bangor on March 24
 A southern woman suffrage confer ence is to be held in Birmingham
 next month in conjunction with the
 executive board meeting of the Ma
 tion Equal Suffrage association. The senatorial contest between
 Congressman Underwood and Hobson, which has kept Alabama in a politi- cal turmoil for several months, will
 be settled in the state primaries early in April.
 Job E. Hedges. who was the repub-
 lican candidate for governor of New
 York in 1912, announces that he will
 be a candidate for nomination again
 on the same ticket in the primaries
 next fall.
 Charles L. Swain of Cincinnati,
 who is speaker of the lower house of the Ohio general assembly, has made announcement of his candidacy for the democratic nomination for United States senator.
 Congressman w. s. Hammond, the
 only democratic representative from
 Minnesota is being urged by his
 friends to enter the race for the
 democratic nomination for governor
 of his state to succeed Governor Eb-
 erhart
 Republican interest in the state primaries to be held in South Dakota
 next month is centered principally in
 the contest for the United States
 senatorship between Senator Coe l.
 Crawford and Congressman Charles Fl. Burke. The mayoralty contest now under way in Milwaukee is one of the most interesting in the history of that city. Mayor G. A. Bading, who was
 elected two years ago on a non partisan ticket, is candidate for renomination. Opposed to him are
 ex- Mayor Seidel, the first socialist mayor ever elected in the United
 States: Theobald Otjen, a former re- presentative in congress, and DaVlo s. Rose, who served five times as chief executive of the city.
