ever seen. With a House ready and
able to execute his DEGREES down to
the last word and with working
majority in the Senate, President Will
son took the oath of Office March A,
1913. With prophetic eagerness he
summoned Congress in extra session
a month later. With the exception of
six weeks of respite last fall the party
machinery has been in operation ever
since, grinding out experimental laws
that affect every phase of our social
and commercial life.
What does a study of that record
show?
1t discloses the fact that during that
time the Democratic Congress has
ha ssigned more crude, imperfect and
nugatory laws than ever were written
during the same length of time by
any American Congress. 1t furnishes
an indictment of haste and lack of
Legislative intelligence that is bound
to be humiliating to the party re-
sponsible.
That there has been a tremendous
quantity of legislation cannot be de-
MED. More than four hundred public
laws have been placed upon the sta
tute books by the Democrats since
they came into power. These are
designated public" because they APP
propriate money for general purposes
or affect general law. In addition to
these, hundreds of private bills have
been passed.
Those who have closely observed
the methods of legislation used by the
Democratic majority are not surpris-
ed at the faulty results. The present
administration has been admittedly
notable, even notorious. for its steam
roller short cuts in enacting laws.
Every important bill passed has been
put through with small consideration
beyond that of party experience. As
soon as the President proposed law,
then the caucus approved it, the ma
jority rushed it through committees
and back to the President for his sig
nature-all with as little debate as
possible-and under iron clad special
rules that permitted no chance for in
te.ligent consideration or amendment.
1t is conceivable that a few bills
might be put through Legislative
booy in this way and emerge in per-
feet form. But to use such methods
indiscrminately as the Democratic
Congress has done, is practically to
insure the enactment of laws which
future Congresses must either repeal
or spend many weeks TO amend. This
is the task which Democratic haste
and lustful use Of a powerful major
ity has created for future Congresses.
Specific examples of laundering will
not be enumerated in this article. 1t
is enough at present to make the gen
cral statement that the Democratic
party has "sown wind of legislation
and is reaping a whirl-wind of mis-
takes"

WOODS or VARIOUS STRENGTH
Investigation Has Shown That Pres
ence or Absence of Tyiose Makes
a Great Difference.

The reason why one kind of wood
is more durable than another is owing
to the fact that one contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gener-
GUS quantities. Tylose is the material
which fills the pores of the wood and
resists the entrance or action of de.
cay. For instance, white oak is well
suited and much used for barrel slaves
where barrels are to contain liquid
while, on the other hand, red oak
which is apparently Of the same struc,
ture, is not at all suited for the pur
pose.
A close examination of the white
oak reveals the presence of the tylose
which seals all the little pores of the
wood. Red oak has none of the ty
lose. For this reason a fence post OF
white oak will last much longer in
service than one of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and Other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species thai
were hard to treat, and others which
were easy.
The preservative fluids, we are told
penetrate certain woods to consider
able depths when moderate pressure Il
applied; while others are almost i'm
pervious, no matter how great th'
pressure. Those hardest to penetrate
by preservative fluids are those bes
supplied with tylose.

1t is a good idea to buy an extra
yard or so of the material selected for
a tailored suit. in order that the coat
or skirt. or both, may be altered and
the suit remodeled Good fabrics out
last styles. and a suit is often regret
fully consigned to the discard, not be-
cause it is worn but because styles
have changed since it was made.
A suit that is required to do more
than one seasons service without any
alteration should be conservative in
style. A plain skirt of medium full
ness. and box coat Or one of the
plain, semifitted models, if well made
of good material and fine finish, is

Mechanics. The heads were then re-
moved and the nail ends sharpened.
The hubs were plugged with pieces
of wood, whitfield to tightly fit the
holes. A hole was then bored exactly
central through each plug for one
half inch rod. This size rod was pro-
cured and bent to form a crank. the
bearing end being threaded for dis
tance equal to the length of the hub
Two pieces or blocks of wood two
inches square and four inches long
were used as bearings. These were

to receive the one-half inch rod just
loose enough to make good bearing
These bearings were supported by q
pair Of braces made of strap iron about
one-quarter of an inch thick and three
| quarters of an inch wide. The length
of the iron will depend on the size of
the wheels and the height of the sled
runner. The braces were shaped as
shown. The center of the bearing hole
must be as high from the surface Of
| the ground as the distance the spoke
lends are from the center of the hub
! hole.
The crank is then run through the
bearing hole and nut run on the
threads and washer placed against
the nut. The wheel is then slipped
on the axle, and another washer and
nut run on tightly. Both wheels.
bearings, cranks and brackets are
made alike. The brackets are fastened
with small bolts to the sled top.

Someone whose occupation, or busi
ness. is the thinking up of pretty
things must have turned her attention
recently to artificial flowers. For these
cunning copies of natures beauty-won-
ders are compelling attention every
where because they are used in new
and unusual ways. We are used to
seeing them in corsage bouquets and
replacing natural flowers in the limeu-
sine. We are familiar with them in
girdles about the waist and in
wreaths about the hair but these are
only mere beginnings of their useful
ness as it has been lately developed.
Everywhere little blossoms nestle
in bows and rosettes of malines or
lace. ornamenting collars and cuffs.
They dangle, in place of ribbons. in
hanging sprays from the girdle. They
are perched in bright sprays on the
party or the shopping bag, and they
adorn the pincushion, the perfume
bottle and the powder puff.
A small bouquet set in a frill OF
gauze and suspended by narrow rib
bons that are tied about the wrist is
the latest adjunct but one of the party
gown. And that one is the spray oi

The cOrsage bouquet and the flowers
for the limousine have other business
in hand besides their important mis-
sion of beauty. They are determined
to be useful as well as ornamental. A
bouquet for the limousine is shown in

many sprays of lifelike lilies of the

GARLIC GIVEN HIGH PRAISE

Garlic is one Of the most wholesome
herbs that can be eaten.
1t stimulates all secretions and its

A teaspoonful Of garlic juice and

Garlic eaters have good skins. for
garlic is excellent in treating erup-

Those races that use much garlic in

ing on collar. etc. All this work is
done by the dozen. So many cents
per dozen.
The coatmakers are generally men,
but some shops have women because
they are cheaper. Most of the work is
done right there in the shop so az
inspector can watch the poor swea:
ing men and girls at work and keep
them speeded up. The poor slaveS
who sew the garments l sold have
never placed hand on a well-dressed
man nor worn a well-ftting garment
themselves.
It's the same with the cloaks and
suits of the woman folks. All this
stuff is cut out by the dozen at one
time with big knife-literauy sawed
out. The making is done in the same
manner If you could only see the
dirt and filth of these foreign slaves
who cut and sew the garments l sold
you would shudder with horror at the
prospect of placing the garments on
your back.
Your own tailor or dressmaker,
right in your home town, will make
you a suit or coat much better than
the sweatshop workers and you can
be sure that you are not going to
| catch any disease from it. You will
| find that it is sewed better, that 1t
won't rip, that the buttons won't fall
off, and that your pockets won't turn

that the material is better and depend

every way it will be more desirable.
It will be the same way with youl

you will discover that with everything
l sold there will be something lack
