Manufactures.
My DEAR JOURNAL: | have Just fin
ished reading 'The Deerslayer" again.
This time it was read, not as in my
school days, for the sake of the wild
lnjun" in it, but as study of charac-
ter. Just to get acquainted again with
the simplicity and goodness and grandeur
of Deerslayer. Don't you think that it
sometimes does us good to brush up our
ideals in this way, and to get in touch
with something really great in human
nature even if it is only through fiction?
Not that there are not plenty of such
characters left in the worId-not that in
every day life we do not meet many of
them-but life is such merry-go-round
in these days that we often do not recog-
nize them unless there is a fire or flood
or some other sudden calamity. Then
we instlnctiyely turn to them, singing
them out from lesser humanity as we
single out stately pine tree from
the surrounding scrubs and alders-f for
woman that makes the man or woman
anything. If the soul is great, the man
is great, no matter how dwarfed the tene-
ment; but if the soul is dwarfed-ah me!
What is this all about? you ask Moth
ing in particular, Dear Journal, only
train of thought starting from a few
words spoken recently in my presence
belittling the Godlike and Godgiven at
tributes of the human soul When people
talk in that strain feel like pointing to
the North star, and saying, "You are off
the course yourself. Get out your chart
and compass and get your bearings
again. Real goodness is as high and as
steadfast and as true as that star that
never changes and it is only when we
lose sight of it, and of the star, that we
get adrift on the sea of life, and when
we get so far adrift that we no longer
believe in the star nor have faith to be-
lieve that it is there-then are we in
deed nothing but fotsam and je5sam-
washed in with the tide and washed
away with it, at the mercy of every ill
wind that blows.''
Looking at the calendar l see chat it
is nearly three weeks since the morn
ing that left Middlebury, Vermont, for
Stoughton, Massachusetts. 1t was
pleasant trip down through Bellows
Falls, where what is said to be the long,
est one span bridge in the world connects
Vermont with New Hampshire, across
the Connecticut river; down through
Keene, N. H., through Worcester, Mass.
and finally through peaceful Concord,
tae place that will always be sort of
shrine to those who love Emerson and
Thoreau and the rest, who have given
their best to the world from that beauti-
full spot. Boston at last, across the city
to South Station, and a forty minute
ride on the N. Y, N. H., & H., to
Stoughton. 1t seems to me that two
places could not offer greater contrast
than Middleboro, VT, and Stoughton,
Mass. Looking back at the beauty of
the one from the general dinginess of
the other, is like looking back at the

How to Protect Clothing from Moth.

How to Protect Clothing from Moths.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1916. Did YOU
find few moth holes in your best over
coat when you got it out the other day?
Then you must have failed to read Bull
letin No. $50, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Recognizing
the immense loss to the American people
through clothing destroyed by the elusive
little moth that fits in and out of the
wardrobe, Uncle Sam had some of his
best experts devote months to the study
of the little pest and to methods of de-
stroying it,-experts paid with your
money. This is only one of thousands of
things Uncle Sam is doing to help the
people. of which comparatively few
avail themselves.
"There is no easy method of preventing
the damage done by clothes MOTHS" &C.
cording to these government experts.
''To maintain the integrity of woolens or
other materials which they are likely to
attack" they say, demands constant
vigilance, with frequent inspection and
treatment. In general, they are likely
to affect injuriously only articles which
are put away and left undisturbed for
some lutte time. Articles which are in
daily or weekly use, and apartments fire.
quently aired and swept, or used as living
rooms, are not apt to be- seriously af-
fected. Carpets under these conditions
are rarely attacked.
"Agitation, such as beating, shaking
or brushing and exposure to air and SUM-
light, are old remedies and still among
the best at command Various repel-
Tents. such as tobacco, camphor, naph-
thaline cones or balls, and cedar chips or
sprlgs, have a certain value if the gar
ments are not already stocked with eggs
or larvae. Theiodors of these repellents
are so disagreeable to the parent moths
that they are not likely to come to de-
post eggs as long as the odor is strong.
As the odor weskeDs the protection
decreases, and if the eggs or larvae are
already present, these odors have no eff
feet on their development; while if the
moths are inclosed with the stored ma
terial to be protected by these repellents,
so that they cannot escape, they will of
necessity deposit their eggs, and the de-
structive work of the larvae will be little,
if at all, restricted. After woolens have
been given vigorous and thorough treat
ment and aired and exposed to sunlight,
however, it is of some advantage in pack
ing them away to inclose with them any
of the repellents mentioned.
The bulletin, which is sent free, gives
further directions for effective methods
of protecting clothes, giving details as to
different methods of packing and wrap
ping go as to secure sufficient protection.

GUS. Rich colors are very fashionable
and an excellent choice, for they add to
the dressy appearance of the coat and
do not detract from its practical wear,
now that everyone dons such garments
whether their years are few or many.
Indeed, the woman with gray or faded
hair needs the aid of soft color more
than a younger person whose natural
brilliance of complexion and coloring
contrasts effectively against black or
sombre background.
The younger set on the other hand can
wear the brilliant primary colors familiar
in sweaters, much more successfully than
m ost of their elders.
Footwear.
One sees a great many light fancy
shoes worn, and odd combinations of
vamps and uppers in contrasting leath-
ers and coors, but the tendency is toward
more conservative tones than have re-
Gently prevailed Abrown boots of deep
tone, mahogany color, dark battleship
gray, and black with or without white
uppers. An economical and fashionable
way to dress the foot if it's shape is mar
row enough to suit this style, is to use
white spats with black patent leather
low shoes, This combination goes with
any sort of dress, and the spats are not
difficult to clean, though like all light
foot dressing they must be kept spotless-

LABOR QUESTION
FOR LEGISLATURE
Program Of state Federation /. Out
lined and President Strict Has
Explained Their
Demands.
WILL HAVE OPPOSITION
Free Text Books In Public Schools is
One Item on Program
Several License Laws
Asked.

Changes in the workmen's compen-
sation law are considered the most i'm
portant labor legislation desired by
the Iowa State Federation Of Labor,
says J. H. Strict, of Sioux City, presi-
dent OF the organization.
We will seek an increase in the
maximum and minimum amounts to
be paid under that law, an extension
of the period for medical attendance
to thirty days in place of the present
two weeks period, elimination Of re-
duction of part of the present two
weeks waiting period before benefits
start and other changes that will in
sure to the workers injured in the
states industries full payments of
amounts due Them
There will also be introduced In the
Legislature in behalf of the Iowa State
Federation of Labor three bills-a
model Injunction law, bill restricting
hours of labor on public works to
eight hours, and a bill authorizing
cities and towns to construct all street
improvements, sidewalks, sewers and
other public improvements on streets
and alleys.
These three bills are already pre-
pared. They were placed before can
didates to the legislature and an eff
fort was made to line up support for
the measures. AS result, the fed
Grafton officials are hopeful of sue
cess. They expect strong opposition to
the eight hour bill and the model in
junction act while private contractors
probably will make strong fight
against the third measure
The federation's complete legisla-
tive program also contains the follow
ing proposals:
For building inspectors, creating a
department known as state building
inspectors under the supervision Of
the bureau of labor
For free text books in public
schools.
For employments Of convict labor to
as large extent as possible in the
building of rural roads.
BARRIERS license law.
Plumb ers' license law, a sanitary
measure.
For the employment Of shot firers
by mine operators.
Making it mandatory for employers
to provide adequate shelter against
the weather for workers in mines,
mills, factories, on public utilities and
elsewhere.
Providing that life line and hand
rail be provided on swinging scat
fold or stage scaffold.
Placing truant officers under control
Of the bureau Of labor and for the es-
tablishment of q museum of safe
guards in connection with the bureau
Of labor for educational, purposes in
safeguarding dangerous machinery.
