Housekeeping by Means Of Play.

Finding that the playroom vas al
most always in disorder. one mother
tried to teach her little girls more
careful ways by inventing a game.
She divided the room into three parts
by means OF three small rugs. making
a bedroom. dining room and living
room. On these rugs she placed ap-
prOpriate dolls furniture. leaving it to
the children to add their articles or
decoration. she advised them to keep
the rooms" as simple as possible so
as to make the care Of them easier
She showed them how to clean and
dust the rooms. how to make the beds
up neatly and how to set the table
This play they enjoyed so much that

are a real help to their mother. They
make their own beds. dust and help

WASHING DISHES.
There Is an Art In This HomeI\
Everyday Duty.
THE PROPER EQUIPMENT

When Washing Cutlery 1t Is Always
Best to Use q Good Silver Soap.
This Method Does Away With the
Weekly Cleaning.
The art Of dishwashing has become
almost extinct in this quick going age.
when the only way to do a thing is to
DO it at one and have it soon over.
Yet real DISTINGUISHING is an art.
DISTINGUISHING requires two dishpans.
one in which to wash and the other to
rinse the dishes: an abundance Of
heavy linen towels, some lighter one
for glasses. Il good dish mop and dish
cloths. The dishcloth should be of
strong linen Stair crash is excellent
for this purpose, as it will become soft
enough to be flexible and is very dur
able. Make these cloths about ten
inches long. Of narrow crash and hem
them to prevent the edges from fray
ing when they are put through the
laundry.
First Of all. the dishes should be
gathered up and properly scraped. then
held for u moment under the hot wa
ter faucet to take off the first coating
Of grease. Any dishes or knives and
forks used for fish should be carefully
wiped with paper. as d%ishcloths are in
fected by fish Immediately.
Put the dishes in hot suds Use the
dish mop freely and transfer them to
the other pan to be rinSed. Let this
second pan be very large and have a
wooden drainer fitted in two inches
from the bottom. so that the boiling
water poured over the dishes will
drain off them This is the best and
safest way of draining.
In washing the silver use a silver
soap and thus avoid the weekly silver
cleaning day, with the added induce.
nen that the silver Is constantly
bright.
Wash spiders. pots and kettles sep.
arately and with an iron d.shcloth
Pots and kettles should be washed in.
side and outside and thoroughly wiped
before being set away. The coffee pot
and tea kettle should be boiled out at
least once a week with soda and water
to keep them tastelessly clean.

WARS DEMANDS CAUSE
BUSINESS TO IMPROVE
Local Men optimistic-Exchange of
Professors With South America
Proposed

There is every indication of an im-
provement in business generally, espe-
cially in manufacturing lines, and it is
due largely to the present struggle IN
Europe. The waste caused by the big
conflict and the scarcity OF vorkingmen
have already started American wheels
to hum.
The Welsbsch Company, whose plant
is located in Gloucester, y. j., announced
today that it had employed more than
500 additional hands to keep pace with
the big domestic trade resulting from
the war A representative of the com
pany said for the first time in the his
tory of the company orders we're received
from all parts of the world.
Both Europe and South America are
making big demands for clothing. snd,
as n result, many textile mills which
have been running a little more than
half time are now running full handed.
The local manufacturers arc receiving
requests daily from Europe to do their
best to meet the demand.
Every effort also is being made to open
a steady market with South America.
As representatives OF several South
American firms are now making in
quiries in this city the business men
feel optimistic.
AS a means of improving South Amer
lean trade relations, DR. Roswell G. Nc
Crea. dean Of the Wharton School of
the University of Pennsylvania, has sug-
gested an exchange Of professors between
South American institutions and the Uni
versity He points out that Yale has
successfully exchanged with German uni
versites and contends that q similar
plan with South America would be
equally as successful.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF CAUSES
RESTRICTION OF PLANTS
Manufacturers Say Shortage of Water
in Canal Has Little Effect.

Clark Rollins, superintendent of the
Joseph NJ Adams Company, one of the
largest manufacturers Of woolens and
worsted yarns in this community, at
Main and Dupont streets said today that.
contrary to the general opinion that the
restricted operations Of the manufacture
ing plants along the Schuylkih canal
were due to lack Of water in the canal.
he attributed the closing of mills direct
" to the reactonary effect of the free
trade activities OF the Democratic Con-

when the high protective wool tariff of
the Republican party was in effect" said
