To clean steel knives apply char
coal or bathbrick dust with q piece
of raw potato, rubbing vigorously.
To preserve from rust rub each
blade with dry wood ashes and wrap
closely in brown paper.
If | were you | would wash the
camisote, by all means. 1t will be
so much daintier and sweeter to
wear than il cleaned in gasoline.
And if it is washed carefully in
lukewarm water with white soap
and dried In the shade it will not
fade for some time, at least.
However. If you prefer the gaso"
tine, use it this way:
Dip the camisole in a bowl of the
fluid, let soak for a few minutes,
then rub the soiled parts gently be-
tween the palms. Rinse in clean
gasoline and hang in the air to dry.
Do not use gasoline In a warm
room or near fire, as it is highly
inflammable.

Choosing the Girls Frock

The choice of materials has much
to do with your success in dressing
your girl Fortunately fashion pro-
vides you Just now with many mate
rails suitable for young people.
Among the materials for practical
every day frocks the soft-toned
plaids are excellent. The hard, bright
colorings are not to be rec
commended. Then there are soft
serges, wool pop1in, crepes and
eponges in one or two tones which
make up nicely.
For dainty dresses, says the
Woman's Magazine, you have no end
of girlish patterns. Powered de-
signs abound. and among the crepes,
voiles. dimities and swisses you
will find just the patterns you want
for afternoon frocks. For dancing
frocks chiffon and net are NOE TO be
improved upon. the lowered chiffons
being very charming. Some silks
such as charmeuse and crepe de
chine are also used. and in combina =
ton with chiffon or shadow lace they
make delightful dancing frocks.

Fewer Women Wear Rubbers

LESS and less are women inclined 10
wear rubbers. Even the best of the
latter detract from the spruce. correct
look of the costume. and rubbers on
the teet make one feel as we'll as look
DIT clumsy, says the st. Louis Re-
public. Women. moreover have so
many pairs of boots nowadays in com
paflson with the one or two pairs that
used to be deemed sufficient for n
season that the getting of one pair
muddy or wet does rot so much mat
ter.
Tan boots are the accented sort for
storrny-day wear, and there is a new
tan leather which neither mud, slush
or wet will stain, and which does not
acquire ugly black streaks across the
instep from the rubbing of wet skirts
These boots may also be cleaned with
a sponge and ordinary soap and water
with no injury to color or luster

Rain Spots on Plush

Dear Miss Doom: 1870
Please tell me how to remove
spots caused by the rain on a
plush coat. Kindly tell me how to
distinguish the words EFFECT" and
affect" and obilge,
MISS G. 3.
IF l were you I would have the
coat steamed by professional. It
will be difficult to steam at home.
but If you care to try proceed as
follows:
Loosen the lining then steam the
plush by dampening the wrong side
and rubbing il briskly over q hot
iron placed upside down on a stand
of some sort.
Effect" means to produce as a
cause, consequence or result: to
accomplish, fulfill. As q noun it
means result, purpose, realization
efficiency, purport.
Affect means to produce an eff
feet upon; seek by natural affinity;
to assume the appearance of; TO

Slippers Without Heels

Women who care great deal for
dancing have adopted the heelless
slipper with slightly rounded toe
In this the ribbon is run through eye
let's that are placed along the edges
THE appearance is not unlike the
French beach sandal which our wom-
ell have taken UP in the last two
years for public dancing. OF course
the price is quite different.
The women who cannot dance IN
sandals have lace slippers with some
what fiat heels or high Spanish ones,
but not the incurved French heel,
which is not as popular as 1T once
was,
1t may not be possible to get these
laced slippers everywhere, but do not

But the landlord did not sleep. He

thought he had his wonderful cloth.
AS soon as he got home he hurried
to show his mother what the North
Wind had given him.
Let us sit down and enjoy some
real good things to eat, mother" he
said, proudly. He got out the cloth
from the travelling sack and sat
down, ordering 1T to serve up all
kinds of good dishes.
But, 10 and behold, it did nothing

decided that there was nothing to do
but go back to the North Wind and
see whether he could help him.
So he started off on the long Jour-

knocked at the door of Mr.. North

BOY SCOUTS
BY JOHN l.. ALEXANDER, BOY
SCOUTS OF AMERICA
BOY
Vol. l.. NO. ..


SCOUTS OF AMERICA
The aim of the Boy Scouts is to
supplement the various existing edu-
cational agencies, and to promote the
ability in boys to do things for them
selves and others. 1t is not the aim
to set up a new organization to par
allel in its purpose others already
established. The opportunity is af
forded these organizations, however
to introduce into their programs
unique features appealing to interests
which are universal among boys. The
method is summed up in the term
Scoutcraft, and is a combination OF
observation, deduction, and handi-
ness, OF the ability to do things.
| Scoutcraft includes instruction in
/ first aid, life saving, tracking, signal
| Ing cycling, nature study, seaman
ship, campcraft, woodcraft, chivalry,
patriotism and other subjects. This
is accomplished in games and team
play, and is pleasure, not work, for
the boy. All that is needed Is the
out Of doors, a group of boys, and d
competent leader.
Obedience,
| There are many tnlngS Nfuch q
scout ought to know and which
should be characteristic of him if he
is going to be the kind of scout for
which the Boy Scouts of America
stand. One of these is obedience. To
be good scout a boy must learn to
obey the orders of his patrol leader.
scout master, and scout commits
sioner. He must learn to obey before
he Is able to command.
| Courtesy.
Another virtue of the scout is that
of courtesy. A boy scout ought to
have a command a polite language.
He ought to show that he is a true
gentleman by doing little things for
others.
