Clean Hands

The fact that two car loads of
mall-order catalogs arrived in
Fort Smith Saturday, causes the
Times Record to ask some peril
nent questions. that could be
propounded to denizens of other
cities with like grace. Here are
a few excerpts from the arti-
Gle. Let those who need them
apply them.
DO the bankers and their
families buy their supplies and
clothes in Fort Smith,"
Are the houses furnished
with furniture sold in Fort
Smith retail stores?"
DO the lawyers of Fort Smith
buy the things they use at
home?'
DO the doctors of Fort Smith
spend their money at home
whenever they CAM"
DO the merchants on the ave-
nue. buy everything at home
they CAM"
DO not stand off and say that
it is good for the other fellow
to trade at home, but that you
will trade where you please. !"
In other words, are our hands
clean? Long ago it was said,
Let him who is without sin
east the first stone and this is
just as true in business as it is
in morals.

The other day we heard a good
Democrat say that he sometimes
wished that the Democratic
party did not have such walk
away in this state, then more
care would be taken in selecting
only the most competent officials.
But it would be far better to
clean up at the primary by choos-
ing only the best qualified candi-
dates, instead of the fellow
whose greatest Recommendation
is that he is a Democrat. There
are all kinds of Democrats good,
bad and Indifferent but there
is only one Democratic party
tried and found to be true blue,
for the masses. Make your vote
count most at the primary, by
helping nominate men of clean
character and proven ability for
any office.

Berlin, via London.-The German
Army headquarters staff gave out the
following official statement:
North of Ypres the English repeat
ed their attempts of July 6 to take
possession of our position on the
canal. The attack failed, with heavy
loss to the enemy.
"Due north of Souchez, on the
Ablain, the French made an attack in
the afternoon, which met with Ger
man attack. The fighting continues.
"a French attack on Fricourt,
south of Albert. was easily repulsed.
A trench captured from the enemy
the night before last northwest of the
Beausejour farm was lost on the fol
lowing morning.
Between ALLEY and Apremont
French hand-grenade assaults were
successful.
"In the forest of Lepretre an at
tack which was prepared for by
heavy artillery fire broke down in
front of our new positions. The
enemy's loss was heavy. An assault
upon our position southeast of Sender

beaten off.

London.-The check which, the Rus
SLAMS have imposed on Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand's army in Southern
Poland and the additional strain which
this has placed on the German Gen
eral Won Mackensen's army to the
right has postponed, it is believed in
military circles here. the threatened
German offensive in the west and
there is now possibility that the
Allies will be the first to take the
offensive.
In support of this it is pointed out
that the attacks by the German Crown
Princes army in the ,Woevre. which
the German press announced was the
commencement of a general movement
forward, have ceased and what fight
ing is going on along the western,
front consists Of artillery engage
counter-attacks by infantry, which
make little or no difference in the
position of the opposing forces.
So far as the Germans are con-
cerned, military observers assert they
are bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there is
some decisive engagement, such az
the capture of the Lublin-Cholm rail
way, which, it is asserted, would have
been in their hands before now if the
Austrians advancing toward the city
had not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources are
to the effect that to make good their
efforts against the Russians the Ger
mans are moving troops which were
intended for the western front to the
east.
There is no confirmation of the re-
ported Italian victory on the Corsio
plateau, but dispatches from Rome
say the Italian troops are making
good progress in their work of cap
turing the mountains around Triest.

The latest fad Of the fashionable

a dim, breezily cool room with floor
covered in Japanese style with mat

windows, draperies of Japanese cotton
toweling in blue bamboo and white

chandelier and lunches of artificial
cherry blossoms stuck in vases. All
these colorful decorations are omitted
from the Japanese guest chamber
which is in cool, quiet shades of green

scheme of the spare room If plain
material is used, a simple little design
should be painted on it either by the
pen-painting method or in just the or
binary way. At the back of the
frame glue fairly stout piece of pa.
per to exactly fit the opening of the
frame.
On this paper should be written the
words: Breakfast, Lunch, Tea, Din
ner, and Last Mall" and the time for
each event to be written opposite to
each word. The guide can hang up
or stand; If the latter, back will
have to be fixed on but for this pur-
pose it is better that the guide should
hang up. Simply glue to the back of
the frame the ends of pretty pink
or blue loop of ribbon large enough to
hang up the guide by.
This guide makes an uncommon and
useful gift for a friend or a good ar.
ticle to make for bazaars; in these
cases the spaces for times are left for
the purchasers or recipient to fill in

To Make Edainas Last LONGER.

Perceptible length of life may be
given to all embroidered edgings by
running a straight row OF close ma.
chine stitching just at the head OF
the scallops or points. This is easiest
done in the fiat, but can be done on
garments already made up. With this
treatment the whole inside of ruffle
will often give way before the edge.
Judgment has to be used as to the
size of thread employed. No. so is
coarse enough for heavy embroideries.

stitching is not noticeable after laun-
dering.
