LARGE GLASSES IN FIRST AID

Registration for the course in First aid training to be given by the Ari zona State Bureau of Mines on Aug, ust 9th, 7th and 8th, are coming ir rapidly, and in spite of the summe, weather it is assured that a larg5 class will be in attendance.
 This opportunity of getting First Aid training is primarily of import ance to those selected by the Draft and to the candidates for admission to the Second Officers Training Camp which starts on August 27th.
 First Aid is not necessarily the re- lief of persons own sufferings, but the relief and comfort of others, and is thing that there is call for every day, in household use, in the indus, tries as well as in the war zone.
 The work as it is to be given by the State Bureau of Mines at the Univer- sity, is to be of very practical na- ture and consists more in the practice of performing First Aid operations, then in the theory.
 The classes will be limited to 50, as that is the greatest number that can be handled at one time in work of a practical nature without neglecting some of the features, and incomplete or incorrect First Aid is far worse than to training. Applications or reg istrations received early will of course be given preference in making up classes. Further information regard ing the course may be obtained by writing c. F. Willis, Director of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, Tue son, Arizona.

THE LIBERTY LOAN
 AS A NATIONAL FORGE

The Liberty Loan of 1917 already constitutes an important factor in our national life. It has given a new dir ection to thought among the people and a new impulsion to popular aims. The effects of the loan on the Govern ment, on the body of the people and on the individual citizen of the United States are sure to be great and mani fest.
 The four million holders of Libert Loan Bonds will look with more care and attention on financial legislation indifference to alleged extravaganza and unwise legislation will vanish so far as they are concerned. The dir ect, individual, financial interest which every bond holder has in the Govern ment's finances will make each an active and effective agent for econ omy in administration and for wise legislation.
 The Liberty Loan is going to create new voting force in the body polite "a civic force in which partisanship and extravaganza are to be subordin- ated to better and wiser things.
 The Liberty Loans influence for good, in another way, is going to be largely effective through its influence on the individual bond holder. To thrift for one's own sake there has been added the incentive for thrift for the nations sake. Thrift for the na- tion's sake will benefit the individual and combine two strong motives patriotism and self-interest.
 Economy like extravaganza is more or less infectious. We are just pass. ing through an era of extravangance and entering on a period of economy. The Liberty Loan furnished an in- spiration and an opportunity for econ omy and saving.
 As the intolerable humiliation of owing to Germany the war indemnity in 1870 made the French people na- tion of savers and Government bond buyers, so the great Liberty Loan of 1917 with its call upon the patriotism of Americans will make this nation more nation of savers than ever be- fore.
 The number of subscribers to the loan and the amounts subscribed make the two billion dollar loan more than a success. It was a triumph and its effect on the people of America will be far reaching and lasting.

times a contrasting color appears, however, and dark red is one of the most effective against sand color. When dresses of this type are not trimmed with embroidery in any of the popular forms, their only finish is collar of white satin or organdy and sometimes a patent leather or suede belt.
 Speaking of the popularity of sout ache and chain-stitching both of these now appear on hats. There are some new tam-o'-shanters of satin with the crowns covered with either soutache or the stitching.

POTATO STORAGE

The primary purposes of storage
 it is pointed out, are to protect the tubers from extremes of heat and cold and from light. Account also must be taken of conditions of humidity and ventilation and of the size of the storage pile.
 The temperature should be the highest at which potatoes can be maintained firm and ungerminated, and which will at the same time hold fungous diseases in check. Experi- ments of the department with arti- ficially refrigerated storage indicate that 36 deg. F. is sufficiently low for all practical purposes and that in the earlier portion of the storage season Il temperature of 40 deg. F. is just as satisfactory as a lower one except where powdery dry rot infection oc- CUTS.
 All natural light should be excluded from potato storage houses, because when the tubers are exposed to even modified light they are soon injuref for food purposes. A practical rule in regard to humidity, the bulletin al. ready mentioned says, is to maintain sufficient moisture in the air to prev ent the willing of the tubers and at the same time to keep the humidity content low enough to prevent the de- posit of moisture on the surface of the tubers.
 If potatoes are piled in too large piles they may become overheated and deteriorate. Six feet is a good max imum depth to which to pile tubers in bins, and the area covered by each pile also should be limited. A good plan is to insert ventilated division walls at intervals through the pile or bin. These may be made by mailing relatively narrow boards on both sides of by 4 uprights, 1-inch spaces be- ing left between the boards. General ventilation for the whole storage house usually is accomplished through ventilating shafts in the roof.
 The dugout pit. or potato storage cellar is probably more widely used than any other type of storage space Fitted with water-tight roof it is especially popular in the central DOT tions of the United States. In the arid and semiarid sections type with sod or dirt roof is in most general use. As rule, the excavation for the cheaper structures of the dugout pit or cellar type when erected on level or nearly level land does not exceed 8 feet. The soil removed from such an excavation, particularly if the dug out is of any considerable size, is ample for banking the side and end walls also for the roof. The cost of construction may be greatly modified, according to the character of the loca- tion.

Very Human Proverbs

Replying to a toast on China's stand against Germany, Chinese Con, sul Moy Hin said in Portland:
 "When I desire to make an Ameri. can better acquainted with the Chin csc l quote some of our Chinese pro- verbs for him. These proverbs show that we, like you, can sec one an others faults and laugh at them.
 "Our temperance proverbs are rath- CT good. There's one: "It is not wine that makes a man drunk; it is the man himself" And another: "A red nosed man may be teetotaler, but nobody will believe it."
 "We have a feminist proverb--'A man thinks he knows, but a woman knows better.'"

NEW SLIP-ON FROCKS THE
 ESSENCE OF SIMPLICITY
New York, July 31, 1917

New York, July 31, 1917
 There is something new under the sun in feminine attire! The agitation for simplicity in dress which has been interesting certain designers and many women of fashion is responsible for a new type of frock which is ad- Justed without buttons, hooks and eyes, snaps or any kind of fastenings. This sounds almost fabulous, but it is easily explained. These dresses slip on over the head, and the opening at the neck and the adjusting of the waistline by an elastic permit the slipping off and on to be an easy mat ter. The elastic gives and the neck opening is sufficiently large, so that it requires no special feat of agility to get in and out of these dresses, as was the case with some of the very first types of slip-on frocks.
 If you have the least doubt as to the smartness of such frock look at the dresses pictured here. Certainly, you would never suspect them of be- ing differently constructed from any other of the smart, simple dresses that are now in vogue! The model
