ODD BITS.

Here is something for you to try:
When putting up fruit and vegetables
in tin, as many do, you will want to
know how to fasten the label on the
can so it will stay. When you are
ready to put it away, brush the metal
with a strong solution of cooking soda,
and let dry; then give it a coat of
onion juice. Before the onion juice
becomes dry, press the paper label
against the wet sides and hold, or fas-
ten it there until thoroughly dry.
At most of the department. or ten
cent stores you can get coat hangers,
wooden or wire, two for five cents.
The wooden ones are best, if, you can
batting closely fitted to the hanger,
cover with some pretty material;
cover the hook also. This will pre-
vent the hanger rusting the garment
where it touches.
Another way to cover the hanger is
to take a long strip of cloth-White is
good; wind 1t over and over the arms
Of the hanger with the edges of the
strip just tapping, drawing it tight so
u VIII uOC slip Out VI place. "A IS"
stitches along the tapping will make
it more secure. Wrap the hook also,
These hangers are very nice indeed
for hanging up shirt waists, dresses
coats, and in fact any garment not
wanted to be folded. One hanger will
hold several garments.
For hanging up skirts. there is an
other make Of hanger, which is clamp
ed on the folded belt or binding of the
skirt. holding it perfectly straight.
Quite a few of these may be hung
in the WARDROBE, or, more car be used
if you have a closet and suspend a GER
tain pole so these hangers car be
hooked on the pole. They can lap
each other and can be showed along
the pole when you are trying to get
the particular garment you want.
For your incest skirts, or dresses,
make dust bags to slip over the gar
ment as it hangs on the hook; even
old calico, or sheets will answer for
materials for these dust bags.

NO MACHINE GINS

TINE cry has been raised that there
are no machine guns in the
National Guard of Pennsylvania.
This is true, but it is not the fault of
the Guard. 1t can be attributed only
to the stupidity of an administration
that preferred pork to preparedness.
Congress alone is responsible for this
grave deficiency.
Fortunately, the omission can be
corrected more easily now than ever
before. Machine guns are being turned
out by the hundred every week in the
United States, to meet European de-
mands. We can easily divert some of
this stream of weapons to our own
use and it will not require long to drill
men to their use. But it is a happy
thing for us that the war orders make
this possible and that we have learned
this and many other lessons of the
kind while confronted by Mexico in
stead of some we'll equipped European
power.
Viewed in that light this Mexican
furry may prove a blessing in dis
guise.

CLEANING UP MEXICO"

WE hear much talk at this time
wv about cleaning up Mexico"
But that is not the present pur-
pose of the United States. Our only
thought at this time is the protection
OF American lives and property and
the punishment of the bandits who
have murdered and pillaged on this
side of the Rio Grande.
The situation is this. After a period
OF "watchful waiting" during which
President Wilson in turn has en-
couraged this and then that leader in
Mexico and permitted to slip across
the border arms and ammunition that
may now be turned against us, and
during which many Americans have
been killed, the administration has
finally issued a note to Mexico that
must be regarded as no less than an
ultlmatum. Carranza is warned that
tho United States will require that he
keep his people on their side of the
border and that he punish the out
laws who have been terrorizing lower
Texas and other border States. The
President has called the National
Guard in order to show that he is at
last aroused TO fighting pitch.
But the intention is not to invade
Mexico unless Carranza makes that
course absolutely unavoidable. The
hca6 of the defacto government still
has it in his power to prevent a clash
hetwe cen the two nations. Peace or
war is in his hands. The future is
for him to decide. If he chooses war
the only course the United States can
follow would be to send the Guard to
the border as rapidly as possible, leav-
ing the Regulars free for an invasion,
and to organize a volunteer army
without delay.
That the President could have
avoided the present unfortunate con-
ditions by a display of equal firmness
three years ago does not detract from
the correctness of his position at this
time. He could do no less than he
has done and whatever the eventual
tiles may be the government will have
the wholehearted support of every
true American.

THE TELEGRAPH PICNIC

TINE Telegraph's school picnic at
PaXtang yesterday was Won
derful success. The weather man
was exceptionally kind and the boys
and girls went to the park by the
thousand. That they enjoyed them
selves goes without saying.
And now the Telegraph wants to
make a confession. 1t didn't know
when it began its arrangements
whether 200 or 10000 children would
go. 1t didn't know how the boys and
girls felt about a school picnic of the
kind. So it couldn't make very definite
plans. 1t did its best under the cir
cumstances, but next year it will do
far more. 1t will begin early in the
Spring. The number of prizes will be
greatly increased and there will be
more in the way of free entertainment
for the TelegraphS little guests. The
Telegraph knows now that the picnic
is to be an annual event and next
years plans are being made. Just as
an indication of how far along these
arrangements already are, the Tele-
graph conferred to-day with Superin-
tendent Felix Davis, of the traction
company. regarding the construction
of a cinder track for the races next
June, the track to be built early in the
Spring. .---.. ....-
In the name of the boys and girls
who had such a jolly time yesterday,
the Telegraph desires to thank every
body who assisted at the picnic, from
Governor Brumbaugh, DIR. F. Z.
Downes. a. Carson Stamm and the
citizens who helped during the con-
tests down to the humblest employe
of the park, for the parts they took in
making the event a success. All of
them entered heartily into the spirit
of the occasion and every one of them
did his best 20 make the picnic en-
1oyable.
1t was memorable occasion. But
it wasn't a marker to what next years
picnic is going to be!

PROHIBITION DOES PRoH1R1r

ID USSIA has won a bigger victory
IN since the opening of the war
than the pushing back of the
Teutonic hordes that are fleeing be-
fore the rush of her armies toward
Lemberg. News dispatches say that
after year and half of prohibition
Russia may be said to have vanuuished
the liquor traffic. The sale of in
tcxicants since Emperor Nicholas put
his signature to the ukase forbidding
the traffic at the very outset of the
war has fallen from nearly a billion
rubles or $500, 900, 900 yearly to ap-
proximately per cent of that sum.
This per cent. largely consists of the
sale of liquor for medicinal purposes.
although in It is included also a limit
ed traffic in wines for which there is
a restricted permission in certain parts
of the empire.
Vodka, formerly the most easily
obtainable commodity in Russia. has
become as rare as whisky in the most
restricted prohibition community in
the United States Wines are still to
be had, surreptitiously for the most
part, but also in some cases and under
prescribed conditions. with the knowl-
edge of the authorities, but at prices
which limit their sale to persons of
wealth.
One of the most notable results is
the disappearance from the streets OF

"A young man enlisting at the
age of eighteen as an apprentice sea-
man will be paid s17.60 a month during
six months spent at training station
and receive an increase to $1,000 a
month when he boards a ship. BY the
end of his first enlistment, under or
dinary course of advancement, he
should be receiving $4,000 a month and
meanwhile he is outhtted with clothes
and all necessities. If he re-enlists
within four months after the expiration
of his first enlistment, he will receive
a seven-dollar monthly increase in pay
and a bonus of four months pay in ad.
dition. By the end of his second enlist
ment he should have received a good
conduct medal. which adds SO cents q
month to his pay, he should be receiv.
ing s55 a month. After twelve years
he should have reached chief petty off,
GERS pay with a salary of S99.62 a
month and thereafter his pay is in
creased with each enlistment Good
conduct and other medals for meritor-
ious service also add to his pay. Un-
der ordinary courses, according to the
figures furnished by the Navy De-
partment. a sailor usually saves one
half of his pay, which is deposited ir
the ships bank, receiving four per cent
interest. Thus. beginning at the low
est level in the navy and reaching the
highest point in the service as an en-
listed man, after the end of twelve
years and continuing in this capacity
for sixteen years, the average sailor
retires after thirty years of service
with a pension of S104 a month be-
sides having the s2S.O00 or more in

| intoxicated persons. They have be-
come so rare as to be more or less a
novelty. This offers a remarkable
contrast to the ante-bellum condition
when drunkenness among the lower
classes of society presented a most
serious problem. 1t is a well-estab-
lisEed' fact that each one of the sixty
odd holidays. irrespective of Sundays,
when business houses and factories
close their doors, used to mean a
crippling of business activity on the
following day and often for two sue
ceeding days because of the sprees
which attended the holiday celebra-
tions. 1t is said that the saving to
the workingmen in this respect alone
runs into prodigious figures.
The earning capacity of the people
appears to have outstripped the ad-
vance in the cost of living, with the
result that savings deposits have
mounted to an almost unbelievable ex-
tent. the peasant is living better than
he ever did before and he is acquiring
q self-respect which he never possessed
III the old days of vodka domination.
! Among the benefits observed by an
| Independent investigator, A. I.
Faresov, who recently travelled
through a number of the central gov
ernments. are noteworthy falling off
in the number of domestic rows, a
| lighter and more hopeful spirit among
the people, a decrease in arrears Of
taxes, fields better titled and a grow
ing demand for agricultural ma
ohinery, a decrease in alcoholics in
tho charity hospitals and other insti-
tutions and a decrease in crimes and
in the number of beggars. According
to this investigator, the peasant, in
stead of feeling that he has suffered
an injury by the abolition of vodka,
is grateful for having had a tempta-
ticn removed which he knew he him
self was powerless to resist.
What can be done with vodka in
Russia can be done with whisky in
tho United States. Notwithstanding
the time-worn arguments of the liquor
interests, prohibition does prohibit
and the abolition of the liquor traffic
is not necessarily followed by financial
distress. Liquor drinking is not a
necessary evil"

usefulness to the public. This fact is
recognized in some interesting and i'm
portant ways in recent years. An ex-
ample in Ontario has been the carrying

respective sides to the problem. The
prohibtionists, as represented by the
committee of one hundred, engaged ex-
perts to prepare statements favorabi.
to prohibition. Contracts were made
