Cleaning a Serge Skirt

Dear Miss Doom:
have brown serge skirt which
have worn quite some time and
which has become soiled. How can
best clean the skirt, Miss Doom?
Could you also tell me how to wash
white satin ribbon. MISS s.
There are several ways to clean a
cloth skirt. Sometimes the skirt can
be washed. and then again gasoline
is the best agent. Before going
through either process, though, all
grease spots must be removed. This
Is done by covering the spots with
brown paper and holding a hot iron
over 1t. Ether and chloroform are
also very good for removing grease.
If You intend to clean the skirt with
gasoline be sure that you do not use
the gasoline near FIRE, as it is highly
inf1ammable.
Sponging the skirt with strong
solution OF ammonia and water is
excellent and puts new sheen to the
skirt
Satin and taffeta ribbons are
washed in alcohol and water. This
prevents them from becoming yellow
and makes them stiff.

Poem Requested

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you print the poem called 'The
Game of Life?' | have heard Is sew
eral times but never have been able
to secure 1t. SCHOLAR.
THE GAME OF LIFE.
This life is but game of cards,
which mortals have to learn;
Each shuffies, cuts and deals the
pack, and each a trump doth
turn;
Some bring high card to the ton
and others bring a low
Some hold hand quite flush Of
trumps, while others none can
show.
Some shuttle with a practiced hand
and pack their cards with care,
SO they may know, when they arc
dealt, where all the leaders are
Thus fools are made the dupes OF
rogues, while rogues each other
cheat,
And he is very wise, indeed, who
never meets defeat.
When playing some throw out the
ace, the counting cards to save,
Some play the deuce. and some the
ten, but many play the knave
and some for worldly fame,
But not until the games played out
can they count up their game.
When hearts are trumps we play for
love. and pleasure rules the hour,
No thoughts of sorrow check our JOY
In beauty's rosy bowers
We sing, we dance, sweet verses
make, our cards at random play,
/ And while our trump remains On top
our games holiday.
When diamonds chance to crown ths
pack, the players stake tneir
! gold,
And heavy sums are lost and won bg
gamblers young and old.
Intent on winning. each his game dotf
watch with eager eye,
How he may see his neighbosAs cardf
and beat him on the sly.
When clubs are trimps look ont f6I
war on ocean and on land:
For bloody horrors always come when
clubs are held in hand.
Then lives are staked instead OF gold
the dogs of war are freed
Across the broad Atlantic now see
clubs have got the lead.
Last game of all is when the spade ie
turned by hand OF Time
He always deals the closing game IN
every age and cline.
No matter how much each man wins
or how much each man saves.
The spade will finish up the game and
! dig the players graves.

President Observation-Disclosures Note
to Germany.
DENIES INTERNATIONAL DELAY
Chief Executive Says Document Has
Been Prepared With the Ut
most Expedition.

Washington, June 8.-Presiden,
Wilson let it be known that the note
which the United States is to send tc
Germany with respect to submarine
warfare. had been prepared with the
utmost expedition and had moi been
subjected TO an hours unnecessary de
lay since it was first drafted.
The presidents desire to have the
document state explicitly the position
OF the United States government, SC
that it cannot possibly be misunder
stood abroad or invite p]rotracted dis.
cussion on the fundamental issues in.
volved, is chiefly responsible for the
fact that the note has not yet gone.
Legal officers Of the government
examined the note with minute care
and sent it back to the president with
some changes. 1t may require fur
Their consideration by the president
and his cabinet and nigh officials did
not know when it would be cabled.
On the highest authority. however,
it was said that as soon as the presi.
dent regarded the communication as
satisfactory in phraseology it would
be transmitted to Ambassador Gerard.
While the president has been at
work on the document special agents
OF the United States government have
corroborated in every detail the state
ment made in the first American note
that the Lusitania was unarmed.
Officials familiar with the situation
dissipated the notion that any infu-
ences had arisen to delay the sending
Of the communication. One of the
presidents closest advisers declared
that there had been no Intentional
delay, but that the note had required
much scrutiny and careful consid-

CAUSES MUCH SPECULATION
Hoiiander Visits Washington in the
Interest of Peace.

Washington, June S.-Van Ghell
Geldemeeser, son Of the religious ad-
wiser to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland,
has, by a brief visit to Washingtons
after conferences in Berlin with high
German officials, set in motion much
speculation in official and diplomatic
quarters here about the possibility Of
peace in Europe.
Mr.. Geldemeester, it became known,
saw DR.. Won Jagow, the German for
eign secretary, and other members OF
the imperial ministry shortly after the
Lusitania was sunk and received GER
tain impressions concerning the Ger.
man attitude toward the war and the
ultimate making OF peace. With the
knowledge, though not with the u.
thority of the German officials, he
started for Washington in the hope
that informally he could portray Ger
mar feeling in official quarters.

SUIT AGAINST STEEL
TRUST is DISMISSED

Trenton, n. j., June 4.-The United

refusing the petition of the federal
government to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation.
AS against the government the court
refused all the iniunctions prayed for
by the department of justice.
AS against the steel corporation the
court ne]d that the committee meet
ings participated in by 50 per zen of
the steel trade of the country, includ.
ing the steel corporation, subsequent
to the famous Gary dinners of eight
or nine years ago, were unlawful com.
binations to control prices; but as
these meetings had stopped before the
government filed it's complaint in Oc-

was no occasion for an injunction.

ELEVATOR DEBATE IN ANETA
Lotus and TWicheIl Will Clash Over
Equity Differences.

George F. LOTUS of Minneapolis,
manager Of the Equity Cooperative
exchange, and Treadwell Twichell of
MapletOl Will debate the terminal ele.
vator proposition at Aneta July 9 and
3.
Twichell is a farmer in Cass county
and a member of the legislature. He
was formerly speaker Of the house
and also served in the state senate.
At the last session he strongly op,
posed the terminal elevator plan, con-
tending that North Dakota was not in
a financial condition to establish an
elevator in another state; hat if it
were established farmers of other
states could use it as freely as those
Of North Dakota and that an elevator
of only $4,000 value could be erected.
Such enterprise, he says, will have
no appreciate effect in handling the
100, 600 bushel wheat crop of this
state, even if used exclusively by
North Dakotans. He also believes the
plan unconstitutional.
J.. G.. Gunderson Of Aneta conceived
the idea of arranging a public debate
between the two speakers. That it
will draw hundreds of persons from
all over the state is a foregone con-
clusiOn.
