USES FOR TABLE DAMASK
Partly Worn Material Can BE Used
for Runners and Dollies for
Breakfast Use.

Partly worn table damask can be
made into runners and doilies for
breakfast use. The border, which
hangs over the table, is in good con-
ditiOn, when the center of the cloth
is worn. These borders can be used
for runners, while the best parts of
the centers can be made into square
or round doilies.
The doilies should be neatly hemmed
and on the right side just above the
hem, a fancy stitch, matching the
shade of the breakfast china, should
be embroidered. A single initial in
the same color will make extremely
good looking doilies.
The sides of the runner should have
a narrow hem, with a row of the
fancy stitching on the right side. A
deep hem at either end. with a large
initial just above 1t, will give charac-
ter to the runner.
A breakfast set of this sort Could
be made In a short time.

GOOD MOP MADE AT HOME.
serviceable and Necessary Implement
Constructed from Odds and Ends
Found Around House.

A mop is almost indispensable in
those homes that have polished floors
or linoleums, and one made at home
will be found TO answer almost as
well as those expensive ones that are
to be bought.
To make 1t, collect together odd
ments of cloth or flannel, anything In
fact from which rubbers or floor
cloths are made.
Now cut up the cloths such as fan
mel or fiannelettes, ETC., into strips
about inches in length ana pa inches
In width.
Some of the strips can be shorter
length and should be in the center
Of the mop. When sufficient strips
have been cut (and this can easily be
told by punching them up until there
is a nice fat bundle), tie them to-
gether about an inch from the top
with string.
This must be done very securely by
binding the string round and round.

BURNED T0DEATH IN HAY NOW
While Wife Saves Stock-Barn Struck
BY Lightning.

Belleville-Mrs. Louis Wagonback
led the horses and stock from burn
ing barn while her husband burneG
to death in tho hay NOW above. She
knew that he was up there. where he
had gone but few minutes before TO
close a window when the electric
storm broke. She called to him re-
peatedly as she led out the stock but
did not realize that he had been stun
ned by the bolt of lightning which
set the barn on fire until the upper
part of the structure was roaring
furnace OF ignited hay. Neighbors re-
covered the body from which the
limbs had been burned. The barn
and contents were entirely destroyed.

A Homemade Mop.

Now a long stick will be needed like
a bamboo; If there is not one to hand,
one can be bought cheaply.
To fasten the mop to the handle,
epen 1t out like in the small diagram;
run the stick through the center Of
1t. This is easily done.
Now take one or two strips Of the
mop and put over the end of the stick
and drive a nall through the strips
and into the stick. In this way the
mop is well secured and is as firm as
a rock.
To work, simply rub the mop along
the floors, don't bend the back at all !;
1t is surprising how the mop will not
only take up the dust, but polish
the floors; il may be used with some
liquid polish If liked, and can be
washed again and again by simply
dipping IL up and down In soapy water
and putting 1t in the open to dry.
|. A similar mop is splendid for walls
picture-rails, etc, but should be made
of white or lightly-colored material
and, of course, used for no other pur-
pose than the walls.
A trial of one of these homemade
mops will more than convince the
housewife as to its use, and best of
all, IL can be made for nothing, which
in these times is great consideration.

ARRANGING THE PLATE RAIL
Avoid the Monotony Of Continuous
Line Of objects Of the
Same Size.

An attractive way to arrange the
plates along a plate rail, to avoid
the monotony of continuous line OF
objects practically all the same size,
is to group the plates by ones, twos
and threes, with a space of two feet
or so between the groups. For ex-
ample, a large round plate or oval
platter may stand alone; farther along,
two plates of the same pattern may
stand together, one slightly overlap
ping the other; after another space
there may be a group consisting OF
one large plate with a small one each
side, the small ones very slightly
overlapping the large one. Another
group of two, a space, then another
group of three or a single beautiful
plate standing alone, may follow, and
so on around the room. The effect
is much more restful and the plates
are better displayed than when ar
ranged without a definite scheme.

WAYNE cOUNTYs BIG RAISE
Wayne county's Tax Expert VIII
Fight Any increase over Last
Years Figures.

Lansing-Wayne county property,
real and personal, has been valued at
$l,1S6,3$S,229 by the state tax COM
mission, according to the figures just
announced This is an increase of
more than $4OO,OOO,OO0 over the last
figures, made two years ago, which
the state board of equalization left
at $707, 100000. The value for the
entire state is $3,63S, ,S32 900.
The valuation on Wayne county is
divided into $3.50, ,26l,757 for real prop
erty and $3.50, O,O46,472 for personal.
John c. Nagel, county tax expert,
will fight any increase over last years
figures before the equalization board.
Ar. Nagel has spent several months
exhaustively investigating Detroit
property values, those throughout
Wayne and those in the rest of the
state. 1t had been rumored in Detroit
that the total Of the new figures would
be around S2O00,0OO, 900. From the
way the tax commissions staff mem
bers here have been boosting even
the values imposed by the local asses
sors this spring, such figure did not
seem improbable.
The figures for Detroit are in the
majority of instances in the downtown
district the same as those placed by
the local assessors. In the residen-
tial districts, however the local fig
ures have been boosted

The RAILROAD SITUATION
Presidents Answer to Telegram That
He is Firm Believer in the
Principle of Arbitration

Washington--Presid Wilson's COM
ference with ranking officials of the
employees threatening a nationwide
strike, are believed by all parties to
the controversy to have brought the
situation TO a point where decisive
developments may be expected within
a few days.
While the negotiations took no ac-
tual step forward, the president re-
piled indirectly to the contention Of
the railroads that the principle OF arbi-
tration would be endangered by his
plan for putting the eight-hour basis
day into effect practicability and
passes upon other points at issue.
In a telegram made public at the
White House, the president declared
he held firmly to arbitration as a
principle and that his plan strength
ened rather than weakens it. He said
also that some means must be found
to prevent the existing situation from
ever arising again.
Meantime, the road officials, who
have tentatively refused TO accept Mr..
Wilson's proposal, contained confer
ences among themselves. The labor
leaders, who already have approved
the proposal, marked time, awaiting
definite decision from the employers.
The Presidents telegram defending
his plan was in reply to an appeal
from George Pope, president Of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
urging that the principle of arbitration
be preserved in the strike negotla-
tians.
The Presidents telegram follows:
ALLOW me 10 acknowledge receipt
OF your telegram Of August is and
to say in answer that | hold to the
principle of arbitration with as clear
a conviction and as firm a purpose
as any one, but that unfortunately
there is no means now in existence by
which arbitration can be secured. The
existing means have been tried and
failed.
This situation must never be al
lowed 70 rise again, but il has arisen.
Some means must be found TO prevent
its recurrence, but no means can be
found off-hand or in a hurry or in sea-
son to meet The present national emer-
gency.
What / am proposing does not
weaken or discredit the principle of
arbitration. 1t strengthens it, rather.
/ It proposes that nothing be conceded
except the .eight-hour day to which
the whole economic movement of the
time seems to point and the immedi-
ate creation of an agency to deter
mine all the arbitrable elements in
this case in the light, not of predic-
tions or forecasts. but of established
and ascertained facts.
This is the first stage of the direct
road to the discovery OF the best per-
manent basis for arbitration whether
other means than those now available
are supplied"

HERE'S A USEFUL ARTICLE
Dressing Case That Is Acceptable
Gift for Man Who Travels
Much.

Our sketch shows a useful little ar
ticle that would form a very accept
able gift to make for q man who has
much travelling to do.
The size of the case to a certain
extent will depend upon the size Of
the articles ii has to contain. For the
exterior of it macintosh is used, and
for this purpose, as not very large
piece will be required, plenty of good
material may be CLEANED from an old
macintosh that has become too
shabby to wear. The macintosh is
lined with strong linen and bound at
the edges with narroJ ribbon, but
prior to doing this the pockets must
be sewn in place.
They, too, are made of strong linen
and bound at the edges with narrow
ribbon, and the pockets for the brush
and soap must be made full enough
to enable those articles to be easily
slipped into them.
The case is rolled up loosely from
the bottom, and tapes are sewn on at
