1t is now apparent that the pres
ent legislature intends to establish
state printing Office equipped to
handle all the publications and gen.
cral printing for the various state
departments. Representative Fore
hand, of Liberty county, introduced
a bill calling for the establishment
of state printery, and last week
a house committee investigated the
possible cost of operation of such a
plant, their report showing there
was AN opportunity for the state to
handle the work in more satisfac-
tory and inexpensive way than is
possible at present. Opposition has
been heard from various parts of
the state, but most of these have
come from persons that are not
equipped to do the work, and as in
most cases where municipal owner
ship is opposed the charge is made
that it would be political pie coun-
ter and Improbable. On the other
hand the wonderful success of the
government printing Office at Wash
ington is recited by those who adj
vocate of the state entering the
printing business. If large con-
Germs find it profitable to do their
own printing, and this is not de-
MED by experienced printers, the
state can, with proper management
profit as we'll. This argument is
among the many advanced in sub
sanitation of the plan for a state
printery. Senators Farris, of Du-
val, and Drane of Polk, have been
named as the senates part of the
joint committee to take up this
matter and recommend action
Claude F. Johnson, formerly editor
of the Osceola Journal, at ks
simmee, who has been at the print
ing game for twenty-one years. has
been summoned to appear before the
joint committee to give testimony as
to the possibilities of the state saw
ing money by entering the printing
business.

the war. Vichy and Aix-les- Bains

Many women since the war have
taken to knitting with a vigor that
knows no bounds. Unfortunately
their zeal has produced definite
malady which may be compared
win elbow or writer's cramp. 1t is
said that the English method of
Knitting, which is equally popular
IN England as the German method,
has greater tendency to produce
this affection. London physicians
have diagnosed the disease as knit
ting neuritis," and declared that the
only cure for it is to give up knit
ting.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

London, May MANY prominent
women are expected in London dur
ing the coming week, as the dele
gates to the International Confer
ehce at The Hague have important
engagements here in connection
with the movement for worldwide
peace. English women, in several
prominent instances, share the opin-
ION OF some of the leading states
men that the time for peace will not
be ripe until there is a decisive vic
tory in the great European struggle,
put they are willing to lend their
moral support to any pacific move

1t may be interesting to army Of
llcers in America to note that the
battle OF Neuve Chapelle holds one
OF the world records for the number
or officers killed-the number being
700 This represents 1913 per cent.
of the total commissioned officers in
the United States army. This fie hit
was practically nothing more than a
skirmish as compared with the great
engagements in France at the he
ginning of the war. 1t is estimated
that II the United States were
plunged into war on such a huge
scale, every single trained officer
would have been killed at the end
of eight months of fighting.

 Extra money Is well spent in cer- tain comforts and conyeniences that make bathing the delight it should be. One of these comforts is a shower at tachment. Once you have learned the tonic qualities of morning shower of cool, but not ice-cold water, you miss this luxury sadly if compelled to do without it. Next best to the over-h head shower, Is the bath-spray which costs httie more than a dollar and can be affixed to any ordinary faucet. The water may be made to spray hot. for rinsing the hair after the shampoo. cold, for toning up the nerves. or tepid Tor the ordinary morning bath.
 Another indispensable convenience is the bath-thermometer. It Is ex- tremely difficult to guess the tenn peraturc of water. What the hand can easily endure would be intolerable to more sensitive part of the body. It is dangerous. also. to have the morning bath a different temperature each day. About 50 degrees is agree able to most people when the plunge- bath is taken in a steam heated bath room. Water warmer than this lacks invigorating quality, and colder water when the bath room is very warm may send one into the shivers for all day. The warm bath at night should not be at a higher temperature than 75 de- grees. People often accust0m them selves to taking very hot baths at

 Leopard And Skunk A Stunning Com
 bination.
 But what fur shall I choose for a black tailored suit?" demands the practical woman whose tailleur is more likely to be black than not. By all means, select fur that will give some life and distinction to that black suit; for when black Is intensely prac- tical it is seldom chic. To have style value. black must be dashing and in- dividual. or 1t may be mourning black which has d distinction all its own. There are several furs that look well with black. One of them is skunk; another is chinchilla Civet and cross fox are also pleasing with black tail ored costume. Lynx-as has been said-is little too black in itself unless the black costume is exceed ingly smart and dashing In every de- tail. Avoid mink with a black suit mink is for brown or navy blue tail leurs; and by the bye; mink is to be fashionable this year and best of all 1t is low-priced. This Is the year of years to invest in handsome mink and the wise woman knows 1t never pays to buy any mink but the best; for shabby, poor mink is hopeless. Opossum and otter look well with black suit if well managed; but to sum up; avoid a black suit if you can and select very dark shade of blue, brown or green if you wish your hand some new furs to show off to best advantage.
 Leopard Is an extremely showy fur and today's page has a picture of an attractive leopard and skunk set a most admirable set for occasional wear though one would not care to depend on anything so conspicuous for day-in and day-out wear, all winter long. This leopard set has small, smart cravat edged narrowly with skunk, and the huff In envelope shape has a wider skunk border.

 Chinchilla The Costly.
 The woman who can afford to in- dulge her fancy in furs will undoubt- edly select chinchilla for this pelt ex- hales high price. It is one of the most expensive as well as one of the most becoming and beautiful furs for many tiny skins are needed to make up even huff and cravat and for a chin chilla coat one must pay a fortune. Pictured is theatre wrap of Hudson seal. bordered all around with chin chilla, and to match the wrap there is a round huff of seal with chin chilla gauntlets at the ends. With a tailored suit of dark green velvet nothing could be more distinguished than cravat and muff of chinchilla and this lovely fur is exquisite also, with blue or black velvet. Chinchilla Is seldom made into a massive neck piece though it is seen frequently ir small cravats. scarves or stoles and when whole huff of chinchilla is i'm possible. little of the rare fur may

Yet AnOtherK Knitted
 Sweater

nYOUNG girl at Newport last week
 wore 8 rather unusual sweater yU this summer of hand-knit sweat CTS by the score and the wearer of the pretty coat confessed to having made 1t all herself. White shetland yarn had been used and the knitting was done with very large needles the big needles usually employed to knit rag rugs. As result the texture of the coat was extremely open-al- most like coarse lace and through 1t showed a lining of orange crepe de chine in most effective fashion. A border along the fronts of the sweat CT, the cuffs. collar, and a long belt which could be knotted at the front were knitted with the same white yarn on much finer needles and the contrast of open. lacy stitch with close. fine border and trimming, was very effective. The crepe de chine lining was stitched by machine to the sweat CT just Inside the border and just above the cuffs. At the lower edge the lining was narrowly hemmed and was attached to the sweater only at the sides and front 70 that the knitted garment fell loosely over 1t without sAgginS.

night but this Is not wise proceed ing, unless under the advice of phy- stcian. Very hot baths, and very cold baths help to reduce superfiuous flesh, but the cold bath followed by a brisk rubbing with flesh brush is much the safer and better method.
 Still another convenience for the bath room is the swing seat which may be fastened into the tub so that one can sit and batho the feet when an entire bath is not desired. Every we'll furnished bath room has low seat. preferably white enamel bench or four-legged stool which may easily be moved about. Nearby should be a small stand containing scissors and other pedicure implements for atten- tion to the feet after the bath
 Bath-bags are such an addition to the delight of bathing that some sim pie directions for making them fol- low.

KEEPING WHITE HOSE WHITE.


 Y2D HITE silk stockings have a most kA annoying habit of acquiring a W yellowish tinge after two or three washings, and this is usually due to their being washed out in a basin and hung up to dry without bleaching. Soak the stockings half an hour in cold water into which a pinch of borax has been dropped; then wash them in warm, but not hot, water made sudsy with some pure white soap. Rinse In three waters-this is very important for the least bit of soap remaining will yellow the silk-and blue the last rinsing water just trfie. Then hang the stockings in the sun and wind to bleach and dry. Never touch them with hot iron, but when thoroughly dry smooth out and roll up. Never put white silk stockings to soak with black or colored silk stockings for the dye is very apt to run out and streak tho white hose badly. White cotton stock ings, now considered better taste with sport shoes than silk hosiery may be washed in the same manner, but the cotton stocking looks best if pressed with hot iron so that the fuzzy nap in the weave is laid perfectly flat

Change the Stone Tn Your Ring
 To Match Your FrOck

N OMETHING quite new in rings is
 shown by Fifth Avenue jeweler. - The large cabuchon stone, in the center of a ring of diamonds, may be unscrewed and removed from its set ting and another stone substituted whenever milady changes her frock. For instance. the emerald which she wears with a black dinner gown is re- placed by turquoise when dainty dance frock Is donned; and the tur- quoise may be exchanged for a baroque pearl, or a ruby; or one of the new platinum and jet settings may be screwed into the ring. This is a decidedly new idea in jewelry and there is no good reason why brooches and earrings should not be made in the same clever way. It is not likely that the most extravagant woman would care to risk a large ruby. emerald or sapphire to this screw-in device, but the reconstructed gems are

be used to trim a velvet huff, made of material to match the suit.
 Beaver For The Exclusives.
 Of all the furs, beaver Is perhaps most fashionable this season. Paris has gone mad over beaver and it is used to trim frocks and hats as well as tailored costumes. The soft, light color of this pelt brightens a dark suit and Paris is adhering to dark col ors just now. in suits and frocks for the street. Beaver is used also with sealskin In some very handsome, full length coats An authoritative Man. haitian furrier Is showing a particular ly stunning seal and beaver outfit which includes long, belted coat, trimmed with beaver, a little round granny huff of beaver, and a toque of beaver just big enough to perch on the hair and tilt over the nose. The coat Is of Hudson seal and has et-in sleeves and snug shoulder-lines. The belt is set at the natural waistline and below. the coat flares out in. full rip- ples, band of beaver bordering the edge. There are beaver cuffs and a wide, straight beaver collar which comes up in points at either side of the chin.
 All really smart seal coats are now trimmed with contrasting fur and so great is the craze for natural animal scarves that many handsome seal coats. trimmed with skunk or fox have huge neckpieces of the long-haired pelt. with brushes to fall over one shoulder-a barbaric display of peltry on one small woman.
 One last word: The woman who owns white fox set should mako haste and have 1t dyed, for white fox is dead, from a fashion standpoint. Its unwonted prestige in June killed it, as even this beautiful fur deserved. for no fur should have the temerity to exploit itself in June.
