PESTS AND FLIGHTS.

When it comes to pests if it isn't one thing it is another. It wasn't but a few years ago that the elm trees were being devastated and the loss of some of the most valuable shade trees was suffered. There have since been periods when the gypsy moths and the tent caterpillars have raised havoc with the fruit trees and other vege- tation. In addition the army worm has come and gone with disastrous results, while the chestnut trees have been suffering from a blight which has been so thorough that a live chestnut is getting to be a rarity where once they were the commOnest of trees.
 Now attention is being called to the white pine blister rust which threat ems dire results to these valuable trees unless a determined effort is made to check it and fortunately it does not present such a difficult prob lem as the chestnut tree blight. In Massa achusetts, where the rust has been found to have developed worse than in any other state. federal and state efforts are being made to eradi- cate it and when it Is realized that this disease has made it impracticable to grow white pine in certain sections of Europe it can be appreciated that no time can be lost in striking a tell ing blow against it if such conditions are going to be prevented in New England
 Pests and blights are the cause of great trouble and expense but they at the same time cause us to realize the value of taking care of that which we would have like nothing else.

To Cure Sunburn.

Sunburn is cften extremely painful In many cases, where a girl has been out iE the sun practically all day, the skin bHsters and causes very real suf- fering. It is a wise girl who knows how 10 care for her own sunburn, for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctOring it at once
 When you return to the house after a day in the open and find your arms neck and face all rose coIored from the sun, don't stop to question why, but start in treating it at once. The burn never hurts the first day and some times it does not the second day, but you will certainly get it the third un- less you are careful. Don't wait until the skin begins to itch and smart be- fore you put on a cream, but at the first sign of rose color where white usually is start your factoring at once
 Cocoa butter is excellent to take the sting out of sunburn and witch hazel cream is another fine emolient. Rub either one in well at the first appear ance of the burn and then again tf1e next day and you will not be bothered so much by the pain and itch.

tige to the administrations accom- plishments in the way of legislation, under the belief that the shipping bill can do no harm even though it is not possible at this date to do any good in the direction desired, remains to be seen. The changes made prevents the purchase of vessels from belligerent nations, and thus the objection that international complications would arise is overcome. They also provide that the government shall not operate the ships itself unless it finds it inn possible to leave them to others and an important requirement placed in the bill is that every ship purchased under the provisions of the measure must show 75 per cent. of its original efficiency.
 With these restrictions thrown about the bill, as well as others which have to do with the vessels which are in cluded in the control of the shipping board, the legislation has undergone important alterations and it remains for the democrats to demonstrate that it can accomplish what they claimed if will

President Wilson has not been gen. erous with his vetoes, but when in formed of the effects of the provision in the army appropriation bill deal ing with a revision of the articles of war which, as passed by congress, eliminated officers on the retired list from the ordinary military responsi- bfIitv for their acts and utterances, it was impossible for him to with hold his disapproval of the entire measure.
 Such a feature of the bill was against the advice of the war depart ment. It had been impossible to have it eliminated while the bill was un- der consideration and it is entirely probable that it received little or no attention inasnluch as there were other provisions which called forth the bulk of the consideration. It was, however, too important a disruption of the disciplinary power of the war department to permit it to become a not be allowed to go unchecked and be held up as one of the bits of half baked legislation.
 It was an attempt to weaken the power Of the war department much the same as the recent political ap- peal to prevent the removal of regt- mental officers of the New York state national guard who could not pass the health requirements when called into the service of the government. It is unfortunate that such a small part of an important measure makes 1t neces- sary to veto the whole bill. but 1t was advisable action and the passage of the bill with that change made ought not to meet with any serious difficult ties

UP TO DEMOCRATS.

The passage of the ship purchase bill comes after a long and hard fight which leaves little of the original measure intact. The legislation has been fought because it was inadvis- able and because 1t is believed against the interests of the country to en- gage in any such business. The rec ognition of the bad features of the original measure has resulted in nu- merous notifications and the drawing of the teeth and with these changes it has gone through the senate on a strictly party vote. The administra- tion has succeeded in getting solid support from the democratic senators Tor such provisions as the measure contains.

NO ADVERTISEMENT YET.

With the users of dyestuffs eagerly grasping at the opportunity to se- cure part of the cargo which was brought to this country by the Deutschland and being sold at ad- vanced prices, there is being disclosed the fact that Germany is ready to resume such trade with this country whenever it is possible. It means that following the war the dyemakers of Europe will be flooding this coun- try with their product. They will be able to demand their price for 1t and they will be able to drive to the wall such industries as have been estab- lished in this country for the manu- facture of dyestuffs because this country has not encouraged capital to invest in this business and give it the protection which would prevent just such a situation.
 The need of making this country in dependent of foreign producers along this line has been clearly demon strated. For two years the necessity of it has been fully illustrated. In stead of taking care of our own in terests we are still playing into the hands of the manufacturers in Ger many while this country is urging in dustriaI development at home and abroad. Little progress will be made, or can be expected, in this direction as long as there is a disposition to do nothing and the problem is left for Germany to solve as it pleases after peace is declared. This country has dallied long enough and it is time to get busy and correct the existing con- ditiOnS

TABLE DAMASK.

Partly worn table damask can be made into runners and doilies for breakfast use. The border, which hangs over the table, is in good condi- tton, 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 dofIies.
 The doilies should be neatly hemmed and on the right side just above the hem, fancy stitch matching the shade of the breakfast china, should be embroidered. 4 single initial in the same color will make extremely good looking doiIies.
 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 it, will give character to the runner.
 A breakfast set of this sort could be made in a short time.

KIDDIES LIKE THESE.

Do you know Q youngster who would refuse 8 beanbag? Of course not. Then get to work and embroider a set of the new beanbags which come all ready stamped and printed and ready for the colored cottons. They come in sets, but may be divided. One is a very chubby little boy in overalls, the other his little sister in pinafore and sunbCnnet. Tie doll bags are first embroidered, then stitched together, back and front, with a small opening left for the beans to be poured in. There is no more fun in a bag of this kind, except the fun which some low ing auntie, real or adopted, gets out of surprising a wide-eyed boy or girl These bags have the added advantage however, of serving as dolls.

AGAIN THE HEAD RESTS.

Chair backs and head rests are sure 1y now reasserting their right to a place in household furnishings. The f1reside and large upholstered easy chairs seem to demand something as a protection, which, perhaps, accounts for the revival of chair backs and head rests.
 Some of the new chair backs are strips of Russian crash, with a cross stitch pattern across the bottom The designs are pine trees, brilliant birds, or even baskets of flowers. Others are made entirely of coarse flet crochet in coarse cotton or raff1a tWine, either square or oblong in form All sorts of quaint old patterns are used for the chair backs. They are really old tidies, made smart and up to date
 Head rests of patchwork applique are now being made. These are par ticu1arly nice in a bedroom, where a counterpane of patchwork is used. They are also made of coarse f1let

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Senator Mclean has not been a par
 tisan. He has served the whole nation and the whole state. No criticism comes from any quarter, but only praise for the excellent service he has rendered. He hes held the United States senatorship of Connecticut on that high plane to which his prede- cessors raised it. That much in the present matter of politics is distasteful to him we may easily believe. but he has kept himself above politics, and will continue to do so. He should ac- cept the reelection which the state will gladly give him, and complete his

TWO PRETTY APRONS.

Two pretty aprons were seen the other day, both made out of a length of heavy linen toweling, about eigh- teen or twenty inches wide. Tn one a hole was cut, through which to slip the head, far enough from one end to reach to the waistline in the back This end was gathered into a belt tKSt is brought around to the front, where it fastens with an embroidered button. The other end. which can be made to reach as far down as desired, is en- broidered with colored sprays of flow CTS. The same design appears near the neck, too. The other apron was round ed under the arms to form bib and was fastened with straps that reached from the shoulders and crossed in the hack. The raw edges of the apron were finished in an overstitch of blue, and the straps and bottom of apron were both ornamented with sprays of flowers embroidered in the blue.

LEAVE Ir WHERE Ir IS.

When Senator Borah attempted to have the immigration bill included as a rider in the ship purchase bill, it is indicated that he meant it as an em- barrassment for that latter measure rather than an expression of his de- sire for the passage of the former. He apparently felt that if one piece of such legislation was going to be passed that another should be in cluded. It failed, however, as he doubtless expected and the immigra- ton bill must stand on it's own feet as it should.
 It is hardly believed that the sena- tor from the west is such an advocate of rider legislation as might be in dicated by his action. The immigra- ton bill ought not to be tangled up with anything else. It should be con and it will be to the advantage of the country if 1t gets no further consid- cred from the present congress.
 An attempt to pass the imnigra- tion bill which the famous lteracy test has been made several times within the past few years. Each time it has met with the same sort of a rebuke. It ought not to be allowed to clog the other and more important matters which need the consideration of both houses of congress at this time. It contains good features but it suffers from the fact that the basis for admission of aliens to this coun- try is unAmerican. Even should con- gress pass the bill in the hustle of the closing days of this session there are good reasons to believe that it would simply result in a veto of the meas ure by President Wilson even as oth- CTS have done. Therefore it better not be used to occupy valuable time but permitted to rest in peace where it is.

 Si low has the United States of America fallen in the estimation Of Mexicans that Americans living in Chihuahua and other cities in northern Mexico are wearing small British flags to ward off insults to themselves and their nationality, according to a re- port brought here from Mexico" says a dispatch from Columbus, N. M.
 Th's is the result of the Woodrow Wilson policy of watchful waiting, of temporizing with bandits, of going in and drawing back, of changing his mind, of 'fbutting- -in' where he has no business and refraining from vigorous action when conditions call for it. With over 100000 soldiers in the field and a, loyal nation at his back, MT. Wilson has no other protection for Americans rightfulIy in Mexico than to urge them to come away. And so they have to place themselves under the protection of a foreign flag. The MeXicans will spit on the American flag. They do not dare to insult the emblem of the British.

The practical uses to which crochet may be applied seem to be endless Ruttonholes in heavy linen or any ma teriaI where a strong buttonhole is required can be worked by means of crochet. Cut the buttonhole the cor rect size, and then crochet around it with single crochet stitches, using a fine cotton and very fine hook If the material is inclined to ravel. the edge may be whipped before crocheting. but if the goods is firm, this is not neces- sary. This sort of a buttonhole is strong. firm and quickly accomplished This is an excellent way to make but tonholes in children's under garments or pique dresses.

EMBROIDERY USED,

Chiffon, Georgette crepe and all other diaphanous materials. whether they are used for gowns or are a part of costumes of silk or cloth, are usu- ally trimmed with embroideries. There is something pleasingIy piquant about a bit of embroidery applied to a deI- 1cate d1aphanous material Often when used on these airy fabrics the embroid- cry is quite heavy, but is confined to a small space. 4 great quantity of it would naturally he apt to pull the material out of shane.
 Gold and black embroidery motifs were used on putty coIored chiffon afternoon gown seen recently, and on a pale gray crepe gown there were em- bToideries of silver, gray and blue.
