Wnitewash a First
Rate Disinfectanl

"Whitewash is one of the best dis
infectants for damp, dark Places -
says Farm and Fireside, the national
fam paper published in Springfield,
OHIO.
The best way to apply whitewash
is, first, to have it perfectly free
from Jumps, and then use a spray
pump.
."Thoroughness is important in all
kinds OF disinfecting work. 1t is of
no use to disinfect the walls of a
barn unless you also disinfect the
floors and managers.
zone good point about whitewash
is that its color tells you when you
have thoroughly covered a surface.
''Some of the cola-tar disinfectants
not only destroy germs, but also kill
lice, feas, parasites and, in addition,
heal cuts and wounds.
''The best ways to disinfect yards,
such as after hog-cholera epidemic,
are: First rake up all the trash and
burn it. Then cover the yard three
inches deep with straw and burn
that. If you are not able to secure
straw, sprinkling the ground with
lime is a second choice. To disin-
feet posts and fences, whiteWash or

School Credit for
Domestic Work

''The public schools of Poughkeep-
sic, New York, for two years have
been giving school credit for home
work." says Farm and Fireside, the
national farm paper published in
Springfield, Ohio. This plan has
proved so successful in educational
value and in popularity with parents
that it is coming into use in other
places, one of which is country
school near Springfield, Ohio.
Every Friday afternoon each
child takes home home-duty record
slip. Beginning with Monday, all
the time spent by pupil in home du-
ties is entered in the proper space.
At the end of the week the card is
signed by the parent or guardian and
returned to the teacher
"These home-duty credits count as
much in the promotion of a pupil as
any regular subject in the school.
Among the duties for which
school credit is given are dish-wash-
ing, housecleaning, preparing meals,
work in the garden, shoveling snow,
washing, ironing, and mopping, care
Of animals, sewing, newspaper route,
helping in store, caring for the sick,
and many other duties. Practic1ng
music lessons, one of the duties some
times shirked, is on the list Care of
automobiles is there too Any other
duties which the parents think i'm
portant can be added to the list, and
the child receives credit.
"This branch of education is not
simply an extra to school work. 1t is
so much a part of the school work
that the pupils are not promoted at
the end of the year if they fail in
their home duties"

Gives Life to Bring Parents
and Teachers Together

In the January Woman's Home
Companion is the story of a woman
who spends her entire life in labor
ing for cooperation between parents
and school teachers. Her name is
Mrs. Katherine c. Higgins.
From Massachusetts to the Pa
cific Coast and back again, Mrs. Hig-
gins has preached the doctrine of
the necessity for the cooperation of
parents and teachers for the welfare
of children. In her home city of
Worcester, by means of hundreds of
personal visits, she stimulated an in
terest in the movement that resulted
in the largest mass meeting in the
history of the town, the effects of
which spread through the whole
State. Mrs. Higgins is now presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Congress
of Parent-Teachers Association, af-
filiated with the national organiza-
tion of similar name. Crystallizing
the idea in back of her work she
says: In years past we left our boys
and girls first to Mother in the nur-
sery, then to Teacher in the class
room. Now we are bringing Father
into the game. We have created a
triumvirate in the interest of the
child-Father, Mother, Teacher. The
result will be better boys and girls,
more effective schools, and happier
homes.'"

England Fifty-Iwo Times
As Big As GermanA

In the January Woman's Home
Companion Laura Spencer Porter has
a remarkably interesting article on
the traditions of England in which
she says:
This is the most dominant and
conquering nation of the world to-
day, governing an empire which pos
sesses something over one-fifth Of the
known surface of the globe, and
more than one-ffth of all its inhabi-
tants, people whose 'far-fung bat
tie line protects, we are told, coun-
try 'fifty-three times the size of
France, fifty-two times the size of
Germany, three and one-half times
our own size, and three times the
size of Europe entire: with three
times the vast population of all the
Russia, embracing four continents
and ten thousand islands'-this, the
most dominant nation, this little
home island, possessed now of this
overwhelmingly vast empire, was,
with its people in their childhood,
more conquered, seemingly, than any
other people; conquered by the Ro-
mans, the Britons, the Saxons, the
Danes, the Angles, the Jutes, and,
finally, the Normans. Conquest aft
er conquest. A strange and one
might think humiliating childhood.
Yet the very contrary, when one
looks closer, is true"

CRlSFlELD GETS
new INDUSTRY
Eyer & krOH Close Deal For Big Gar
ment Factory to Give Steady En-
ployment to Female Labor-Be-
gin Operation This Week.

| After giving thorough considera-
/ ton to Crisfeld as a good location
p; for large garment factory, Messrs.
Byer & Kroll, of Philadelphia, have
taken a lease on the Baptist Shirt
Factory, on Maryland avenue, and
will begin operation Immediately.
The deal was consumated by Mr.. ia
cob kroll, a member of the Philadel-
Crisfeld as the guest of Mr.. L. Gold
berg, while making arrangements for
their new plant there.
Messrs. Byer & Kroll have been
operating a large factory in Philadel-
2hia, making fancy silk and cotton
shlrtWaists, dresses and other gar
12ents. Labor trouble there has been
the source of considerable annoyance
to them, and they were giving con-
sideration to the establishment of a
rev plant elsewhere, when Mr.. L.
Goldberg, of Crisfield, suggested this
city as the proper location, in case
the firm decided to move their fac
tory from Philadelphia. A member
c. the firm paid visit to Crisfeld at
Mr.. Goldberg's solicitation, and was
50 favorably impressed with this city
tnat their decision to locate there
vas the result.
The Philadelphia concern has Sc
cured a five years lease on the Girls
fiald plant, with the privilege of re-
neWal for another five years at the
expiration of their lease. They are
now having their special machinery
shipped to Crisfeld, and expect to
have it installed and ready for op-
etation in a short time

Ten Dollars an
Ounce For Postage

The first settlement on the present
site of San Francisco dates from
1875. 1t consisted of Spanish mill
tary post (presidio) and the Fran
ciscan mission Of San Francisco de
Asis. In 1886 the settlement of Yer
ba Buena was established in a little
cove southeast of Telegraph Hill.
The name San Francisco was, how
ever, applied to all three settle
ments. The United States flag was
raised over the town in 1916, and
the population rapidly increased,
reaching perhaps 900 in May, 1S4S.
The news of the gold discoveries was
followed by crowds of fortune seek
ers, so that by the end of 1S4S the
city had an estimated population of
10000. From that time on San
Francisco has grown rapidly. The
first regular overland mail commune
cation with the East was established
by pony express in 1860, the charge
for postage being SIS for half an
ounce. In 1869 the completion of
the Central Pacific Railway to Oak
land marked the beginning of trans
continental railway communication.

Money StiAed Her

In the January Woman's Home
Companion is the story of very
wealthy man who was so busy max
ing money for his daughter that he
became stranger to her. A crash
came and he lost his fortune, only
to find that his daughter was de-
lighted at the calamity.
What do l care about the old
money! she said. I've been stified
with money! don't know this min
ute whether I've true friend in the
world, because I've had SO much mo-
ney that those who loved me were
afraid to show it for fear of being
called sycophants, and those who
pretended to love me did it only be-
cause I could give them good time
with the money you've poured out
to me. Men who pay me attention
I'm always afraid it's because of the
money. It's poisoned my whole girl
hood. Weren't we happier when we
lived in the little old house with just
Nurse and Cook, and 1 was the pam
ther under the hall table when you
came home? I'm glad, glad the mo-
ney's gone. Now, you're going to
have time for me again, now I'm go
ing to have my father back-not just
kilograms and checks.

Eight Million Women Workers

In the January WOman's Home
Companion Secretary of Labor Will
son in describing the new Federal
Employment Bureau, says:
To-day there are, in rounI num-
bers, about 46,000,000 pers@~a ten
years of age and over engaged in
gainful occupations in the United
States. Of these about 5000, 200
are women.
Upon the constant employment
of these millions there depends the
well-being Of the average family in
this country. The wage Garner is, in
four cases out of five, a man, be-
cause statistics show that about ev-
cry fifth salaried individual is a wo-
man. AS the average man has one
or more women depending upon him
for a more orless long time, it is OBJ
vious that the question of the perma-
nence of his employment is as vital
to the fair sex as that of the average
working woman.
when a woman loses her job the
economic loss may affect her alone i;
when man loses his job the loss will
be apt to reach others beside him
self, because the average American
family, according to the latest cen
sus, consists of five persons.

WOMEN Admitted
TO CAMBRIDGE CLUB
Wives And Daughters of Members
VIII Have Use of Yard, Wharf
And Casino, in Order That They
May Become Interested in Racing.

! At the annual regattas held in this
city in the summer the Cambridge
Yacht Club makes a special effort to
encourage women to enter the races,
! and, after thoroughly considering the
advisability of allowing women to en-
ter the club, the Board of Governors
and members decided that a men,
berShip for women would promote
racing among their wives and dau-
ghters, thereby enabling the women
and young girls of this city to get
more pleasure out of the Choptank
river. A committee from the Yacht
Club composed of Messrs. Henry
Lloyd, Miles Woolford and Briley
Wright, was appointed to name
committee of women to cooperate
with them in advancing their plans,
and the following women were selec-
ted: Mrs. Frank C. Hanna, Mrs.
Carlton Slagle, and Misses Grace
Leonard, Winnie Davis, Betty Colds
borough and Mabel Woolford.
There were fifty charter members,
and they held their first meeting in
December, naming Miss Mabel Wool
ford chairman; Miss Grace Leonard,
secretary, and Miss Betty Goldsbor-
ough, treasurer. The charter men,
bers were composed of the wives and
daughters of the members of the
Yacht Club, but the membership is
how open to the women OF Cam
bridge who desire to join, and an
application is necessary in order
that it may be passed upon by the
Club.
During the past the women have
figured prominently in all social
functions at the Club, having work.
ed with diligence and presided with
grace whenever there was a dance,
card party Or a similar affair. And
now the Club looks forward to more
gaiety than it has ever known for the
women are planning an entertain
ment for every week They have
rented the office which was formerly
occupied by Secretary of State Thos.
W. Simmons, and the opening recep-
tion will be given Friday afternoon, /,
from to 6 o'clock. When the
Cambridge Yacht Club was furnish
ed, Mrs. F. M. Dick, at that time a
resident of Handbook Manor, but
who now lives at Hartsdale, N. Y.
very graciously gave all the furni-
ture in one room of the clubhouse
for the use of women, and this fur
riture has been removed to the ad-
joining clubhouse for women.
The new members will pay SIS a
year, as dues, and will be allowed
the privileges of the yard, wharf ano
casino.

Worst Thing for Good Roads

Perhaps the worst thing which
could happen to the cause of good
roads," says Farm and Fireside,
would be the building of all those
now needed, with no provision for
keeping them up after their compile
tion. No permanent road Is perma-
nent in the sense of not needing re-
pairs and upkeep. We have shown
in these columns that concrete
roadway 16 feet wide can be kept in
condition for twenty years or more
by the expenditure of from S25 to
$35 per mile a year. There is prob
ably no road, permanent or tempo
rary, which can be kept in really
good condition for less.
"Some charge for maintenance
there surely will be on every perma-
nent road. When issues of bonds for
better roads are voted on, this mat
ter of maintenance should be pro-
vided for.
''In many cases the permanent
road will be far easier to maintain
by the ordinary tax levy than were
the old unimproved highways. In
such cases the new road, instead of
adding to the local burden, will
tighten it."

vious to his employment with this
firm, in the employ OF the Barteldes
Seed Company, of Lawrence, Kansas,
in their branch house at Denver. The

SIMON HERZSTEIN HOME
FROM MARKET

Mr.. Simon Herzstein returned
home from the eastern markets the
fore part of the week after on ab-
sence of about four weeks. He says
that he would rather come to Clayton
than to go to New York or any place
else. He sounds the same sigh for
relief that comes from all of the
clothing men who have gone to mar
ket this spring and that is, that there
is decided shortage of raw materials
and that the small manufacturer has
no chance as against the large manu-
facturer who has bought in large
quantities and is making supplies for
the European nations that are in war.
Wash goods in colors are out of the
question and that there is certain
grief coming for the buyer who in
sists on colors as well as the mer-
chant who sells The goods, because
the majority Of the goods in colors
are not washable and will easily fade,
I'he' most ordinary garments will
show the same trouble as the others.
For instance, the ordinary blue hick-
ory shirt and overalls, the common
black hose bid fair to be a thing OF
the past, at least for a time. The
manufacturer, says Mr.. Herzstein, is
bidding for the big business, the biz
order, all of which are going acros;
the waters. He further states thai
the general sentiment in the east il
that the war will continue at least
tyo years yet and relief from thest
conditions are not in sight. Mr.. Her
zstein enjoyed his trip very much
came back rejoicing that he lives in
land Of peace and plenty and is glat
that ne is an American.
