have only just begun in Con-
Gres, and it took only three days
TO disclose that it will be another
year at least before anything is done
on the building of the battleships
which were authorized a year ago. 1t
will be March, 1917, before a penny
will be spent on the naval building
program which was adopted prior to
March, 1915.
These admissions, wrung from Ad-
miral Stanford in his testimony before
The House Naval Committee. shed a
eight of comprehension upon Secretary
McAdoo's estimate of only $4,000, 600
additional required for national de-
fcnse this year when the naval
and army plans which the President
had sanctioned called for much more
money.
This episode brings to the front and
emphasizes anew the persistent policy
of this administration in trying TO
fool the people. McAdoos cooked and
iuggled financial statements. Redfelds
incomplete and garbled statistics, Dan
ics stirring demand for warships-
all are predicated upon the theory that
the people like to be humhugged and
that this Barnum. among administra-
tions will give the people what they
want.
But when the humorists of the ad-
ministration apply their joker methods
TO such serious matters as the national
finance. public defense and our for
cign relations, the people are inclined
to laugh on the other side of their
mouths. The humor is too grim, the
objects too serious.

sands of women are said to have lost

of the Minimum Wage law. Possibly
there was some eXaggeration in the
statement, though it was made to
Governor Mccall by a committee of

rather than of wage earning women.
II is unavoidable, however, that the
establishment of minimum wage for
any class of workers should have for
its consequence the wedding out of
those whose earning power does not
come up to the standard fixed. And no
law can make the employment of sub
standard workers compulsory. The
State can fix a wage. but it cannot as
sure employment at the rate fixed.

Keep cuphoards Clear.

The majority of women do not seem
to realize the danger there is in ac-
cumulations in closets. The dust and
lint from old clothes are very inflam-
mable. Lighting match to look for
some article in crowded closet, or
taking q candle into such place often
causes fire. Old clothing, rags, waste
paper and every sort of rubbish should
be cleared out of closets. A spark in
dusty closet has been known to
ignite a whole building; even an &C.
emulation under bureaus and sofas Is
dangerous. If you do discover fire
in your closet close the door and get a
bucket of water and broom. "A wet
broom is the best fire extinguisher
ever invented" said an official of the
fire department. you can throw a
solid sheet of water with it or only a
spray; you can beat fire out with a
broom or you can pull down blazing
curtain with it."

TO WASH WINDOWS QUICKLY
As In Most Other Cases, There Is a
Right and a Wrong Way
of Doing IL.

Take large cloth, yard long. pat
it into a close swab like sponge.
Wet soppy. but not dripping, with wa
ter. Dent the center and pour in ker.
osene and sop it into the face of the
cloth. With this swab quickly wash
the outside of the windows to loosen
all flyspecks, dust. old paint or aka.
line deposit. Follow at once with a
large, soft and dry cloth.
The first cloth leaves it smeary, but
the polishing will make 1t very clean
and shiny. This first swab will clean
a large number of windows, simply
turning so as not to scratch the glass
with the dust on it. The polishers
need not be renewed until damp.
The windows become very brilliant
and clean and there is no freezing OF
water, or wetting the hands, as gloves
can be worn. Especially good in cold
or windy weather.
The same method can be used In
side. Pure kerosene can also be used
but the above combination appears
to more quickly soften the varieties
of deposit.

land, after six months trial, is really
beginning to like them, though at first
there was violent opposition to the
enterprise. Incidentally, these new
public servants are winning favor, not
so much by force as by tact and per-

pecially successful in quieting panic
stricken crowds during Zeppelin raids,
in dealing with drunken and fighting
soldiers, and in calming excited wom-
en- and children in the streets.

BREAD MADE IN A HURRY
Just as Good as When Done In the
Ordinary Way and Quickly Ready
for the Table.

Break two cakes of yeast into one
cup Of water at blood temperature. Put
tablespoonful of sugar on the yeast
to stimulate its quick growth. While
this soaks, warm two cupfuls of milk
with one cupful of water. This, with
the water over the yeast, makes a
quart of wetting, sufficient for four
loaves.
In large mixing bowl put several
sleeves of flour and make a depression
in the middle of the flour, into which
put level tablespoonful of salt and a
heaping tablespoonful of lard. Pour
the liquid and the yeast upon the -four
and mix with the hands, working the
flour from the outside into the liquid
in the middle of the mass. Make a
stiff dough and lift the ball out, put
ting away any remaining -four for fu.
ture use. If the -four is granular, let
the dough lie on the board for ten
minutes, covered with a warm bowl,
that the flour may properly absorb the
moisture. If the flour is not granular,
this wait is not necessary.
Now shape the dough without knead-
ing, lay the ball in a buttered bowl,
and butter the surface Of the dough to
keep it soft Cover and let 1t double
in warm place, an hour to an hour
and half. If you wish still further
to hurry it, set the bowl in warm wa
ter and place a smaller bowl of warm
water on the lid of the large bowl
containing the dough.
When doubled, shape quickly into
the baking pans for the second rising
and bake when again light. This reel.
pc is excellent for use when one must
have bread in a hurry. Half of the
dough may be made into crusty rolls,

SCANDINAVIAN news.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP.
PENlNGs IN FAR OFF
NORTHLAND.
ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the scandInavians
In America.

1t now seems fairly settled that the
conference Of Scandinavian ministers
Of state at Copenhagen was not called
because of any pending situation af.
fecting Scandinavia as a whole, but
anticipatory of problems expected to
arise in the near future. 1t was con-
sidered desirable, especially by Swe-
den, that the outlook be discussed and
the argument be renewed for Joint
action on questions affecting the three
countries alike. This does not neces-
sarily mean that these nations will
take up Jointly any dispute of single
country, but that they will be sure to
act vigorously together where the
principle involved applies to all. No
immediate action Is expe cted as the
result of the conference, as neither
Denmark nor Norway is excited or
alarmed because of the British exam
ination of parcel post packages and
relations are not regarded as seriously
impaired. The ministers who attend
ed the conference, however, made no
attempt to disguise the grave apprb
hension of all the Scandinavian coun.
tries concerning the future and there
was a wholesome agreement that 1t
was necessary to have complete and
thorough understanding of the situa-
ton and a continued effort to place
the neutrality of Scandinavia on such
high plane that it would be bound
to be recognized as impartial by the
/ 5lligerents. In this respect. The min
listers were in complete accord. The
coming spring and summer are regard
ed as crucial to the northern coun-
tries because of the possible naval
activities in the Baltic sea and the at
tempts by both sides to give effect to
their respective blockades. Scandi'
navia depends upon export and Inn
port trade, and their stoppage would
cause genuine disaster. AS the situa'
tion develops during the spring, there
probably will be other conferences
while many who are we'll informed be.
lieve that should the worst fears be
realized, America might be asked to
use her good offices as the greatest
neutral power in favor of smaller
states. although such action is not con-
templated at present.

no direction as to which hand should
carry the wedding ring. The left was
chosen because valuable rings receive

DENMARK.

The report that the Danish govern.
ment might reopen the old question Of
the sale of the Danish West Indies to
the United States has attracted atten-
ton to the Industrial and economic
conditions there at the present time.
In answer to inquiries from the United
States it may be said that the condi-
tions are most unsatisfactory both on
this island and the island of st. Croix.
There is a serious depression in trade
and scarcely any money in circulation
in St. Thomas. This is chiefly due to
the European war and the closing of
the Panama canal The chief industry
Of the island has always been the sup
plying Of coal and water and other
necessities to ships; but this is now
practically at standstill, particularly
because of the suspension OF the
steamship service Of the Hamburg
American line. This company gave
employment to large number OF Ia
borers and others. the majority OF
whom have had to emigrate to Santo
Domingo or other agricultural islands
in order to make livelihood. The
neutrality-suspicious. line has. more
than was heretofore realized. been the
main support of the island, disbursing
large sum of money annually. An
extensive system of harbor works,
with an up-to-date dock and all mod
ern appliances such as electrical coal
cranes, warehouses and oil tanks, was
recently completed here and with the
opening of the Panama canal it was
expected that great trade would de-
velop. But the slides in the canal
have prevented these hopes from be-
ing realized. On the isla.-d of st.
Croix the strike which has paralyzed
the sugar industry for a time was
serious matter. The island. very
much more so than st. Thomas, is ag-
ricultural. and this years production
of sugar and rum promises to be ex-
ceptional. Following the formation of
labor unions, the laborers on the
sugar estates contended that with the
increased prices for sugar they should
be paid more wages, but this was re-
|
the workers were turned off the es-
tates and hocked, with personal be-
longings. to the towns of Frederick
sted and Christiansted, where for the
past month. they have been living in
tents and matched houses and schoo,
buildings. A wage concession has
ended the strike. Notwithstanding the
unsettled conditions, there have been
few disorders, except for small
amount of suspected incendiarism.
The government has recently passed
several bills looking to the improve
ment of the laborers of both islands,
including the parceling out among
them of small lots of land under GER
tain conditions. II these measures
are carried out they should improve
the situation greatly.
The population of Denmark is very
close to the three million mark. Ac-
cording to the first summary of the re-
cent census the country had 2,919,796
inhabitants February 1. 1916. The in
crease for the past five years was
10000, or LIS per cent annually;
during the five-year period Of 1906
1911 the increase was 10000, or 1.27
per cent annually, and during the five.
year period of 1901-1906 it was 1885,
