Be Careful About
the Fit Of Your
Children S Clothes

A child who has a garter that pulls
or drags a stocking that crawls and
wrinkles, an underwaist that slides
off the shoulders and binds the arms
an underskirt that rolls all up in the
elbow Joint, is in a state Of constant
irritation. More i'll temper and un-
happiness are due to these insists in
clothing than could be imagined. Five
minutes with a needle will remedy
any Of these faults. and yet children
must suffer on with these petty an
noyances.
Next in Importance to comfortable
fit in child's garments come suit
ability of style and texture. When
the temperature of the home permits
washable clothes are always to he
desired. A warm fannelette under
dress will make ginghams service
able all winter.
AS most overcoats for boys and
winter coats for girls are insufficient.
ly warm, good thick sweater or a
quilted lining is necessary addi
ton. When buying the coat this un.
dergarment should be taken into &C
count SO that the child when bundled
up will not feel like a stuffed saus.
age.
1t is useless for doctors to point
out that bare legs and necks are
dangerous for children. The mothers
reply. "Why, So and SOS child lived
through tt guess mine WILL" Pro.
badly IL mothers tried these socks
for awhile themselves they would not
use them SO much for their children.
For school clothes plain washable
dresses and suits are best. School
is not the place to start rivalry in
the clothes line. Ornaments detract
the childs attention from his les
sons.
Caps are better than hats. Hats
are Of necessity thrown promiscuous-
ly together. A cotton bag bearing
the child's name in indelible ink and
made to fit when folded in the peck
ct, which every coat should have can
be used by the child when In school
to hold his cap, mittens, rubbers and
leggings. This slight precaution pre-,
vents loss and soil to yourself and
confusion to the teacher.
Rubber hats are preferable to UNI
brellas.
School clothes should. where pos.
sible, be kept for school use. Clothes
have a great deal to do with the at
titude of the mind. If You wear your
party clothes at all times You can't
feel especially elated when you start
out to party.

the National Council of English
teachers should appoint committee
to work for the improvement Of the
national speaking voice. THE Am

professor may have his metaphors
slightly mixed. But 1t is commonly
admitted that the American voice Is
better calculated to drive a herd OF
hogs to pasture than to engage in
after dinner conversation.
Busy public school teachers can
hardly give lessons in voice culture
Still, If the various organizations Of
teachers would take up the matter,
something could be done by the per,

A BROADMlNDED
DIPLOMAT

1t is true as Mr.. Lansing stated
in his recent address before the Am
herst Alumni. that he is obliged ito
deal with the questions OF interna
tional law and usage, which are arts.
ing every day in our relations with
other countries. This does not
mean, however, that Mr.. Lansing s
decision is final. The Secretary of
state assumes the responsibility for
the actions of the Department NJ
State, and in conjunction with the
President determines the policy Of
the Government in international mat
iers. II is, however, of the greatest
Importance to the Secretary of State
that the Counselor who Is the sec
ond official of the Department and
who in the absence of Mr.. Bryan is
Acting Secretary. should be, not cniy
well informed on the questions that
arise, but broad minded and sober of
judgment in matters Of policy.
The experience which Mr.. Lansing
has had is a guarantee of broad mind
edness, and 1t is safe to assume that
he would not have filled with distinc.
ton the many posts and positions
he has held, If his judgment were
not sound and to be relied upon. But
more exacting qualities are required
in u Counselor. He should be a dip
lomat as well as an expert in inter.
national law. Mr.. Lansing has as
ISOLATED with diplomats both at home
and abroad, and he has the advantage
of looking the part as well. He is

choice of language. From Robert

than was the case January l. 1914.
Experience has demonstrated that a
large hold over crop OF northern
grown potatoes which Is in good con
dition and selling at reasonable
price when the early truck crop po-
tatoes reach the market means low
prices-sometimes SO low that the
shipment of such crops nets a loss
to the grower. Under such conditions
small acreage means smaller loss
than a large acreage.
With 100000 more bushels OF
potatoes in sight January l, 1915,
than were available at the same time
last year and with 1915 price of
43.2 cents as compared with 66.2
cents year ago, a price which under
the then existing conditions did not
improve before the truck crop began
to move. there is little hope that the
conditions will be better this year.
The price now is just about 33 per
cent less than it was a year ago. The
distribution of the crop is much bet
ter than last season; so there is
little likelihood that the price of
hold over stock will reach last years
mark even by the end Of the storage
