Make Old Ribbons
Look AS Good As New
BY Caroline COe)

There is an expert way to do
so small a thing as washing rib
bons.
The easiest, and perhaps the
safest way is to put the ribbon
into a fruit jar, fill the jar two
thirds full of naptha or gasoline
and shake, take ribbon out and
rinse in another jar of clean gas
oline or naptha. These jars may
be kept, If tightly covered for flu
ture use. After rinsing, stretch
out straight and wind evenly
around a large jar or smooth
crock, set in draught, until dry.
Do not iron.

DEFALCATIONS IN 1918
AMOUNT TO $4O,OOO,OOO

New York, June "A large surety
company of this city, in report just
made public, places $4O,OOO,OOO as a
conservative estimate of the defalca-
tions throughout the United States in
1918. Thefts of $4,OOe,O0O were public
ly reported, while insurance policies
paid because of burglaries and other
evidences of loss brought the total up
to the first figure.
insufficient salaries are placed at the
head of the causes for thefts from
banks, commercial and public funds.
Next under the head of cause is the
carelessness with which employers
and public officials check up books o.
trusted employees. Extravagances at
home also has resulted in many de-
falcations, according to the report.

RISKS LIFE To
WIN ESSAY PRIZE

Boston, Mass, June 2.-Joel Dibble
Austin, of Dorchester, 17-year-oli
Harvard sophmore, won the first Bow
doin prize the biggest plum in Harvard
undergraduate achievement, after ne
had deliberately risked his life to at
tain the distinction.
The winning by a sophmore of the
$40 prize, which almost of right falls
to some dignifed seniod, brought out
one of the most dramatic stories of a
fight for scholarship honors that has
ever come to the attention of the Har-
varfd faculty.
1t appears that young Austin was
just completing the essay he intended
to submit for the big award when he
was taken dangerously i'll with appen-
dicitis.
He was rushed to the hospital for an
immediate operation. But he pleaded
to be allowed to finish his essay be-
fore he went on the operating table.
Though his life was in peril and it
was against the better judgment of the
doctors, he was finally granted one
day. Propped up in bed and suffering
excruiating agony, he finished the es-
say.
The winning essay dealt with an alb
struse literary subject, "A Defense Of
Debussy," hardly calculated to distract
the ordinary mind from the pains of
appendicitis.

You have noticed from time to time
in all this discussion of the high cost
Of living that's been going on since
the cost began to pinch people gener-
part of the well-to-do as we'll as the
ally and cause complaint upon the
poor. The Vindicator has said some,
thing about bad debts and the dispo-
sition of people to dodge payment and
leave the grocer, the butcher, the bak-
er and dry goods merchant with ac-
counts uncollectible face to face VITA
the only alternative, that of assessing 9
the loss and making up from the pay
ing customers.
This high cost of living discussion
has brought out much in the way Of
information and opinion as to the
cause. Some have maintained that the
increased production of gold has had
all to do with rising prices. Others
have held the middlemen, the colo
storage men the trusts and one agen-
cy and another responsible for the up
ward tendency of prices.
Now here's the bad debt explanation
again brought out in the conventioc

Teagoe, of New York, told the conven-
ton that notwithstanding the CONNER,
cial morality of the people of this ma
tien, it's bad debt waste amounts to
more than $200,000,O0O annually; that
this loss taxes every man, woman and
child in the land and that it means
an increase in the cost of living to
every consumer He added that the
purchasing power of the country is
affected, and that the whole world is
responsible. This view, it is stated, IS
held by many business men and has
led to a movement begun to avoid the
bad debt drawback.
