WILSON AND LANSING
 DRAFTING FINAL NOTE
Gravity Of the Crisis Is Fully
 Realized.

The deliberation with which the ad- ministration is approaching the situa- ton presented by Germany'S failure to meet the United States on the subma- rine issue is regarded by officials at Washington as proof of the realization by the president and his advisers of the seriousness of the decision which is impending.
 There will be no rush of Secretary pf State Lansing to confer with Presi dent Wilson at Cornish. Mir. LanSing's- departure may be delayed for severn! days, and he may not go to Cornish at all if the president decides to come back to Washington before the end of7 the week.
 Secretary Lansing was engaged ifn drafting tentative reply to the Ger man communication. Tt was eXplainc(f ' merely roughly represented the secretary's idea of what should b,s said. as the president presumably would prepare a draft of his own.
 There is no question but that the president is looking to MT. Lansing as his confidential adviser in this sirlEt- lion. and the decision which will finnlly be made will be largely the result of their joint consideration. Dispatches received at the capitol from all sections of the United States | demonstrated that the country is of 1 one mind In its patriotic support of the president and will approve any course he pursues.

A Dream Joke.

Almost every one has dreamed OF
writing a poem, delivering a speech
or making a witty remark that seemed
at the time wonderfully brilliant but
that, recalled on waking, proved to be
either commonplace or wholly mean
ingless. That Is not always the case
however, as this story. which the Rev.
Washington GLADDEN. is fond Of telling
proves
II dreamed" says DR.. GLADDEN., that
the old house that formerly stood neal
my church was still there and that old
MI. Deshler, who has been dead many
years, still lived in 1t. l also knew
that his old dog. George. who never
failed to bark at me when I passed the
house, still lived. In my dream / was
passing the house when the door open

rushed barking up to me.

The Hurt Flower.

Somebody, q scientist. has assured
us that plants are not insensible to in

Of rough treatment. Whether this Is

sensitive to rough hands and the
weight Of a careless heel. Twould
mean more gentleness in a world none
too tender toward many Of the beaud'
full things Of life.
More than q century and quarter
ago Robert Burns. on turning down O
mountain daisy with the plovshare
broke into a song typical Of his sym
pathetic nature:
Wee, modest. crimson tipped flower.
Thou's met me in an evil hour
These two lines are suggestive OF the
whole poem-a simple. sweet melody
whose dominant chord was contrition
This century old song is in harmony
with the views Of the modern scientist

to have a place in our thoughts. We

To most housekeepers the weekly
laundry work IL tho most formidable
task of all In the household routine. The
process often extends over two or snfee
days, Is anticipated with dread, ana
seems to be completed only to be oegun

to do with making the work easier or

on the first floor, 90 that there need DO
no going up and down stairs, light, airy,

should be stationary when possible, TO

II not built in may be kept always In the
same place and filled and empeied by
means of q piece of hose. Ironing
boards NAV be attached at one end to
the wall and pushed back against 1t
when not in use. A cold mangie Win
wooden rollers Is contrivance whicn
saves much time In the ironing Of nat
pieces. II this cannot be bad the ordi'
nary wringer may often be pressed Into
service as q msngle for such pieces al
common towels. Washing machines e.
pecially when power driven are great
conveniences.
Much may be said also In the choice
of laundry materials as starch, soap ana
bluinp. The ordinary cornstarch 10 In

lowed to simmer from 10 to 20 minutes
after it 10 made and then strained II nee
essary before using. The addition OF q
little borax and fat or parafin greatly
improves the quality. The bluing
should be one which does not dye or con-
tain Prussian blue which often 10 the
cause of rust spots. Ultramarine 10 one
of the best bluings. A variety OF soaps
should be used. The strong yellow soap
is good only for very soiled and greasy
clothes. It's action 10 hard on both the
clothes and the hands. Ivory, mild
soap, is good for ordinary work and cas-
tile, q neutral soap, for wool.
II We are able to dry our clothes IN
fresh air and sunlight, they are actually
cleaner than after they have been damp
ened and ironed. Webbing underwear
and stockings need never to be ironed
and why should We, especially In the
hummer, iron sheets and nightgownsP
Perhaps the way to save most In lsun'
dry work would be TO get at the
root of the trouble and have our clothes
made in style and of material easily
Numbered. Upderclothes may be OF
ripplette and crepe and dresses OF rip
plette, plisse, ratine, and crepe which
require neither starching nor ironing.
These fabrics this spring include most
attractive designs In plaids, stripes and
figured materials. The children 10 par
ticular, may have clothes of these mate
rails and the mother of . large family
need only try this scheme to appreciate

The word "ship" Is masculine In

not be IN error to trace the custom OF
femininizing ships back to the Greeks,
who called them by feminine names,
