PRETTY CRIB QUILT.

A pretty crib quilt can be made of fine white lawn. At regular intervals embroider an caen wild rose with pink mereerized cotton. The lines can be outlined and the petals hlled with seed ing and in thfs way the work can be quickly accomplished. Line the GOV, CT and then tack it through the cen ter Of the roses with pink ribbon. Bind the edges with pink lawn or pink si'k muslin SO that when the erxe ie fold ed and turned in it will measure m inch. The stitching can he covered with TOW of feather stitching or out lfning Tn place of the rose a blue Or corn flower can he substituted. The ribbon for the tacking and the edge should he also blue.s China silk should be used in place of the lawn but the lawn has the. durability. to stand many tuhbings. =

CLEANING OAK FLOORS.

Proper care of oak floors in the modern apartment is not always un- derstood. If these rules are followed, the housewife will be well repaid:
 = For shel44c finished floors: If water has been spilled on the floor and it has turned the, vArnfsh white in places. nloisten a soft cloth with a little A5co- hei and rub tine spots lightly They should immediately disappear. Do not repeat this operation too often or the
 finish will be entirely removed. Shel- lacked floors sometimes take on a clelded or grayish appearance due to dampnees i1 the air, This condition usually can be greatly improved by the same, treatment If the finish has be- come so dirty that 1t Is necessary to remove it entirely first scrub the floor with wood alcohol and then bleach it with oxai;c acid Never use lye, as 1t turns the wood black and ruins the surface permanently. After all mo;s- ture has evaporated the original finish may be applied.
 . If varpfsh finish has become badly worn, scrub it thoroughly with h.ush. soap and water. but never flood the fcor- After it hes dried out apply a thin coat of varnish Tn case time cannot be allowed for the varnish to dry. wax may be substituted. Do not rse shel'ac on top of old yarnish or varnish on top of old sheliac.

the container is half full, and another near the top, when the container is nearly filled The contents should be covered with an inch layer of beet tops or grape leaves 10 protect them from spoiIage that may occur in the surface during the process of fer nlenta tion.
 Place Q board cover on the con tents and press it down with weights of brick or stone. avoiding tEe use of sandstone and limestone. For the brine use one pound of salt to eac.l ten quarts of water and to this add two thirds of a quart of vinegar. Pour into the holder enough brine to cover the c0atcrtS.
 Aftcr allowing this mixture to sts nd for 24 hours make the holder air tight. One Of the most effective means of doing this is to cover the surface with very hot. melted paraffin making a layer o"er tfe cover and around the weight. With crooks cover the top with a cloth soaked in paraffin putting the cover in place before the paraffin hardens.

Hoe Cake. In the memory of every of middle age fingers a rich vision of the hoe cake which old Aunt Jenny or Nanny 'Tiidy used to bake on their hoes over the hot ashes of a wood fire and eat with greens and pot flicker"
 A repast of hoe cake, honey and but stermilll surpassed any heavenly mama in the imagination of the old time southern child, who haunted the kitch- en when hoe cake hour arrived
 Hoe cake ingredients are very sim pie:
 One pint of white corumeal, ore half teaspoon of salt. sufficient water to make a latter. Put th/ cornmeal into a bowl, add the salt and pour over ii just enough boiling water to moist en the meal. Let it stand for Q few minutes. Then add more water till the batter will drop easily from a spoon. Bake to a delicate brown on hot gritifse and serve with a hit of butter on the top of each cake. hoe cake should be at lea st four inches in diameter and one inch thick.
 Scotch Nation Broth: One pound and half of the neck of mutton or lamb. one onion, one carrot, few stalks of celery, salt and pepper to taste. two quarts of cold water. one cup of barley. Set come to q boil. let simmer for three hours. Strain through soup strainer and v~an ready 10 serve add meat and vegetables which have been cut in small pieces.

THE poLDNAioE.

The polonaise is again in fashion This garment almost covered what ever was worn beneath It was as conceaii1g as the Greek tunic. the Ro- man toSa.
 Possibly the struggle through which Poland is Soing-unfcrtunate Pola nd with her great genius and her greater naisery-hsve tempted the French to reflect her present disaster in cos tufns.
 In the adaptation of the- polonaise to modern requirements the floating panels at the side are featured as the main thing. Each designer has tried chem cut in an individual manner.
 Usually they are lined with a con- trasting color and fabric. Old god and Chinese blue alternate with pearl and slate gray as chosen Things. When the poionaisc is of dark wine. red velvet or black, the lining Is Of cream or dead white.
 If we wear it next winter as Paris is showing it at the present moment 1t will further the evident inclination O. the designers and the public to strengthen the fashionable position of the separate skirt.

RAISING THE LOAN.

Now that figures are available, and will be from day to day, which show how Norwich is responding to the appeal for subscriptions to the sec ond Liberty lnan greater interest will be taken in this effGrt to supply the government with the necessary funds for the prosecution of the war
 Accordiug to the allotment the min = mum amount wanted in this city is sfbs,ooe. and it is being sought by the 27th. That means that there are 2s days for receiving subscriptions by eiim.nating Sundays and the holiday and to secure that amount there should he dafly average of practically $a3,- 0aG. The maximum sum fixed for this city is s1.250. 900 which means an ave- iage for each of the 23 days of a trif1e over s54 000
 With a realization of what is aimed at here, the subscriptions which have already been received and the time in which the loan is to be f1oated, it can he seen that there is plenty to be done. But Norwich is not lacking in loyalty and patriotism It has shown that in many ways. It oversubscribed it's share of the first loan and there is every reason to believe that 1t will do the same thing on this occa sion. It is a time. however. when people must do their part. There is no reason for waiting to be asked to subscribe The invitation Is general and it applies to sH. 1t is time that everyone should feei his responsibility in the matter Everyone has an interest in the cause In the army and navy that has been gent, in the raising. training and send Ing of still greater army and navy and the providing of the necessary supplies, and that interest should be manifested by backing it up with the necessary financial support.

 There doesn't appear to be anything fair or just about the arrAnge1nent. It isn't inst to the country and it isn't Just to- the members of ccngress.

There is no objection to the payment of tho legitimate expenses but when 1t comes to handing them something on the side 1t is wrong. The sum involved is not colossal but 1t makes little dif- ference what the size Is 1t could be put to much better use by the gov ernment just now. or in fact at any time. Congress ceuld not be expected to stand for any such thing if anyone else was involved. but it is . difficult proposition trying to get congress to reform itself.

The proclamation which has been issued by Governor EoIcomb directing that Tuesday of this week be set aside as fire prevention day is in keeping with a movement which has been underway throughout the coun- try for some time. Ut is aimed at the overcoming of careiessness and 1t is in tended to focus attention Of the peo- p;e upon the need Of checking the fire losses of the country and bringing them to the realization of the part which they can play in connection herewith
 At all times is there a need of giv- Ing the closest attention to this mat Ter. The annual waste through fires, runnins-way up into the millions ought not to exist. It is much greater in this country than in the countries of Europe during normal periods. and 1t is important that every agency should be brought into play in an ef- fort to reduce 1t. When the governor points out that a recent analysis of the fire causes in Connecticut by the National Board of Fire Underwriters shows s2.3 per cent. to have been pre- rentabie, SIS per cent. partly prevent able, and 2s.s per cent. unknown 1t can be appreciated that there is pien- ty of work to be done towards the overcoming Of these preventable and partly preventable fires
 Such work does not all lie in one direction. There are many ways in which it can be accomplished but there needs in the first place to be a thorough understanding of :he condt- tfons and following a realization of the negligence, q. determination upon the part of all individuals to assure the responsibility. be 1t little or be It large.
 The observance of a fire prevention day will not in itself step fires. but it will call attention to the duty which devolves upon the individual and hy such impress them with the import ance Of conserving our resources by preventing fires through protective measures every day Tn the year.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Guarding England Against Air Attacks.

! (Correspondence of The Associated
 Press 1.-Two principal factors in elim- i mating the midnight Zeppelin raids on 1 London and other British cities were
 the perfection of night flying by Brit
 ish airpiane pilots and the multiplica-
 ton of small airplane stations. From these stations powerful aircraft could ] be sent up like hornets to cover every l possible avenue of approach whenever the Zeppelin fleet attempted invasion. i Probably the full story of the elaborate | and painstaking steps by which the Zeppelin menace was overcome, will not he fully told until after the war It is known, however that every air plane pilot in the British army and navy is required to spend a certain number of hours of his course of train ing in night flying in the most varied conditions.
 A visit to one of these small airplane stations, housing only two machines. on a night when a raider was sighted off the coast and there was "a bit of work" to be done, showed how they guarded England against night attacks.
 At ntghtfall the two airplanes were drawn from their hangars and rolled out ready to be called work, the work which involves such strain as has before never been endured by man. or wood or iron. Both machines were fully equippel with machine guns. all ready loaded. aerial torpedoes and faTeS TOT landing purposes. The en- zines were tuned to perfection.
 Tn tiny office adjoining the hangar sat the officer in charge of the station. Within reach of his right hand was the telephone and on the desk in front of him a litter of books and papers dealing with the personnel of the two airpla nes.
 Y It was just after midnight wffen the silence was broken by the sharp tele- phone bell. If the message is an order from headquarters the first words must be the authorized password for the night as guarantee of its authen ticity. The officer took off the receiv- CT and listened.
 "'For America Is the word Zeppe- lins sighted over North Sea travelling north fifty miles from the coast. Good night"
 The officer hung up the receiver and hurried out behind he hangars to he tent.
 Wake up you sleepy devils" he said "Zepps out skylarking."
 The two pilots who were next in turn rose and quickly dressed. Five minutes later they were out beside their machines drinking a steaming can of hot coffee. They climbed in, the engines sputtered and reared the whole framework quivered under the strain of the curbed power. Released they moved, gathered speed, rose quickly off the ground and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

MEETING AVIATION NEEDS.

\ Not only Is there satisfactory prog ress being made toward fhe develop n1ent of much mere. powerful f,eet of destroyers than the country has aver possessed but the statement which is made by .ths secretary of war to the effect that the contracts have all besn let for the turning out of . fleet Of 10000 airpianes; ranging ell the way from the light machine built for speed to the big planes used for bombing purposes. shows that this ance to this branch of the army and navy but that it is speeding up the prodr action in keeping with the de- mand
 According to the preparations every factor is being considered and opera Hons are being 90 regulated that the construction of ths motors and planes the setting together of the supplies and the training of the avie- tors are all working alapg in unison. Most of the machines will be built here but about 900 will be construct cd abroad where many of the avfators already are either in the service or preparing for it.
 This gives good support for the be- lief that due consideration is given to the value of the aviation corps and the necessity of having up to the min ute machines for rendering the ser vice that Is required of the eyes of the army. The av:ators have been of the greatest assistance to the armies operating across the water and they are bound to be a still greater factor :n the future 60 that the preparations which are being made. though On a vast scale, are only what the situation calls for
