QUICKEST WAY TO CLEAR TABLE
 AND CLEANSE DISHES.

One of the chief indications of a wellregulated household is the rapid ity with which breakfest. dinner or tea things are cleared away and re- stored to their respective places, and how to excel in this respect Is some thing every young housewife should know Where there is a full domestic staff with constant supply of hot water, this is, of course, an easy task ; but even under less favorable cir cumstances little good management will greatly simplify the task of washing up.
 Take care that the kettle or boiler is filled beforet he commencement of the meal; then, at it's conclusion, there will be no delay caused by waiting for hot water, See that you have large dry. clean towels to dry or polish the dishes with. Begin with the glasses. cups. saucers and other similar articles, reserving till the last those which have been used for greasy food.
 If you have a plate rack over the sink, so much the better; if not let your plates drain for minute or two on a thickly folded towel after taking them from the water, this makes your cloth last dry all the longer and lessens the labor of polishing. A small teaspoonful Of soap powder or a few drops of cloudy ammonia added to the water greatly facilitates the task of washing up; each article must be well rinsec afterward in bowl of clean water.

AGITATES STRIKE IN
 MUNITION PLANTS

Washing ton, August 1s.-Agitation for a national strike in munition plants as proposed by J. J. Keppler vice president of the International Asso- ciation of Machinists. was repudiated 'iere today by the association's execu- tive board. The board determined, however to wage vigorously gen eral campaign for an eight-hour day.
 w. J. Johnston, international presi- dent was authorized to disavow the strike project. My attention has been called to an interview by Vice President Keppler,' he said tonight, lin which he declares that he will urge the association to authorize a na- llonal strike to enforce the eight-hour day. This statement is unauthorized by the international association, and is wholly at variance with it's policy. We have not declared for general strike. In fact we will use every means to prevent such a development
 However, general campaign will be carried on for shorter work day Our campaign will be waged in all branches of the industry where busi- ness conditions justify it"
 Vice President Keppler will appear before the executive board tomorrow to urge his national strike proposal, despite today's action.

Mere Man Declares that Girls Clothes
 This Summer Are Scredn1in9ly Funny
By DOLLY DALRYMpLE

1 ment for one of us to sit down in 3
 narrow skirt, and now they are as
 wide as all out of doors, and yet you
 say we are funny"
 That's just it. said the mere man They go to extremes. Nowadays the
 women don't wear enough clothes tc
 wad a gun with. Although their skirts
 may be miles and miles wide, they are
 transparent and clinging and give a
 woman the appearance of having had
 them thrown at her, rather than made | to fit her. They wear dresses in the street cut low enough for the most decollette gowns of former years | Here's the idea: I had a vacancy in my office not long ago. l advertised on Sunday for girl and on Monday morn 1 ing they came in droves to apply for the position. I haven't an idea but that two-thirds of them who came were entirely competent to fill the position. Several of them had excellent refer ences, but I passed them all by for a little soft-eyed girl who had on a plain, old fashioned navy blue serge skirt, and 8 white shirtwaist high-necked and long sleeves, and as trim as you could want. liked her feet, too! they didn't call out in that loud silk stockinged way, come look at me- that those Of her wis a-vis did, I liked her neat lit tie hat and the smooth, shining way her hair looked instead of head full of blonde puffs that look like pan of rolls"
 It's a pet theory of mine, you know he went on, that artificial hair affects the brain-heats it up and stops clear thinking So I gave the position to the little mouse-looking creature who looked as if she'd stepped out of one of Miss Mulocks novels or the six best sellers, for which Charlotte Bronte was responsi- ble.''
 Perhaps she was merely doing Jane Austen pose to impress you," the woman said sarcastically.
 Well, whatever she was doing, it took" said the mere man enthusiastically. She succeeded, if that's what she was about. I was impressed to the point that l gave her the job over 20 or more com petitors, and all because of the way she was dressed. My only fear is that she will soon take the artificiality and over dressing that spells many pretty girls, and she will lose the simplicity and charm that make her stand out like a. wild tea rose among a lot of cheap dyed flowers made of cotton petals and glue"
 T do not agree with you about the hlgh-necked shlrtWqst, either for work ing girls or any other sort" the woman protested T think there is nothing so lovely as a white-throated girl, and don't believe that women vii lever again follow fashion to the cextent that they will wear those horrid high, tight collars that used to be stylish once they've known the comfort of 8 low-neck waist. Take Ethel Barrymore, for instance. who really made the low-neck waist fashion able, they say, because of her long, sen- der (at that time) throat. I've known girls who hadn't single redeeming feat ure until low-necked frocks were insti-

 Annie Laurie also had pretty throat she went on to say, flor doesn't the old song say it was like the swan? Consuelo Vanderbilt, the Duchess of Marlborough, has no claim to beauty whatever, except that she has wonderful long, slender neck. Really, don't agree with you that the girls of today are funny. I think they are comfortable with their low necks and wide skirts for the first time in years, ana to my mind one of the greatest points in being we'll dressed is to look com fortable and better still, to be com fortable'
