WARNING TO PRUSSIA.

It is possible to gather from the speech which has been made by Chan cellor Bcthmann Hollweg that he has seen the handwriting on the wall, that the Russian revolt has not been with out value to him as showing what is likely to happen in Germany if there is not a. disposition to listen to re- forms which are demanded by the people. His talk was directed. partic- ularly to the Prussians for it is Prus- sia which is decidedly reactionary and that is also the leading state regard ing imperial affairs.
 What Bethmann Hollweg therefore says to the Prussians is that it is well to ponder deeply over the Russian revolution. He is not anxious that there should be any overthrow at Ber- in like there was at Petrograd, but he recognizes the fact that it is not beyond the bounds of possibilities. It doesn't take long to capitalize unrest 3f which Germany has it's share, and when it comes to arrogant rule there Is none who. can surpass the Prus- sians.
 Thus the chancellor has hastened 10 make the situation plain to the Prussian diet. It is time to give con- sfderation to the reforms which ought 70 be made before the people decide to take affairs into their own hands and change conditions for themselves. However he may have felt about this in the past, the Russian break has forced him to look the matter straight In the face and bring those who are responsible for it to the. same view point

SENSIBLE OFFICE FRocKs.

Of course, every sensible business girl provides herself with one or two well cut separate skirts and half a dozen tub blouses. The blouse fresh from the laundress, is the one thing always ready to slip into of a morning. F,rocks may need a stitch here, a button there, a clean bit of net in the neck opening but the laundered blouse is always satisfac- torily ready, and no business ward robe should be without it. But one tires of everlasting waists and sh9rtz. and the business woman likes to have a pretty frock or two for office wear. There is no objection to silk frock. if it Is simply made and not too gay in color. The tussah silk so fashion able just now is admirable for such frock, and there are ready made mod els of taffeta and faiile matinee in dark blue, coffee brown, olive green and other shades that are charming. If one is a canny shopper, looking well before buying. many a good bar gain in ready-made frocks may be picked up. Combinations of dark taffeta with plaid or striped taffeta are excellent and there are mohair dresses with silk stitching and em- broideries that are exceedingly good style. The business women's skirt should be over the tops Of her but toned boots, and her sleeves should come to the wrist. She may wear a coilarless blouse or a tall stock collar as she pleases

rHE SPRING pRIvE

From the progress which the Brit ish and French are making on the western front it is evident that the spring drive is on. Points of consid- erabie importance for which the al- lies have been striving for months are being taken. The German forces are retreating or being driven back to new positions. They are giving up places which have been held for a long period. They are retiring to points where an equally strong de- fense can probably be made, where the line will be shorter and less troops will be required for the defense, but they are all the time getting further from Paris and the benefits which they may obtain from the cutting down Of the battle front will result to like advantage for the allies.
 Thus while 1t may be claimed that there is strategy in this retreat of the Germans, 1t cannot be denied that it is being forced by the offensive of the allied armies with the resulting ef- feet that where the latter are gaining prestige the retreating forces are los ing even as they did following the dis aserous failure to take Verdun,
 Where the forward movement of the British. and French is going to stop depends upon the ability of the re- treating army 70 defend the new po- sition which they are planning to take and which from all accounts they have been preparing for some time past inasmueh as it was manifested from the offensive of the allies in the taiI Of 1916 that the Bapaume line could not hold much longer.
 With this activity in the west. the progress of the British and Russians in Asia Minor and the new move in Macedonia the spring drive has shown thus early a success which cannot be looked upon otherwise than gratifying to those engaged in it.

WORKING FOR SAFETY.

Not only is the effort for greater safety for those engaged in mining operations showing excellent results by the adoption of protective measures and interesting the worSmen in look inG out for their own welfare but the same sort of commendabie improve mcnt is being shown as the result of the efforts which are being put forth in behalf of those. employed in. manu- featuring establishments. This work is being directed by the National Safety Council and impresses upon the workmen the advisability of avoiding carelessness. the necessity of giving proper protection to the eyes, the ex- tension of first aid to the injured and paying attention in general to precau- tions which will insure safety.
 There is an extremely large field for carrying on such work. Itsis impor- tant not only to the ernploye but to the employer, and as the result of the work carried on in this direction for the past ten years there has been an average reduction of at least 75 per cent. in the number of serious acci- dents.
 It is not to be expected that any methods, regardless of what they may be. will result in the entire elimina- ton of accidents There are those who will give no heed even to self protection until they have had prop CT amount of the kind of experience that will make an impression upon them, and there are always a certain number of unavoidable accidents. The excellent showing which has been made, however, shows that the effort was needed and that 1t should be con- tinued and if possible enlarged.

which It took in making the Tt. Mc- Kinley region in south central Alaska big national game preserve. This reservation of 2200 square miles abounds In all kinds of wild game It is section where such animals are not serious detriment to the coun- try It is a park with all it's primeval beauty and if such is going to be pre- served it is important that the herds of wild animals including caribou and other big game need protection for at least many years to come
 The game in that region have att tracted many sportsmen- Pot hunt CTS have been making great inroads there and 1t would be matter Of only comparatively short time be- fore it would be cleared of these anil mals and an important breeding ground and game refuge disappear. That is not a farming region and property Owners will not suffer from the extension of such protection, but it is an admirable place for just what it has been picked for and congress has taken wise action in the course that 1t has followed. It is only what many organizations have attempted on a much smaller scale.

USE OF OLD SHAWLS AND
 ScARFS.

There are still many old s1lawls and scarfs in ancestral trunks or even in our own old trunks, and there is no reason, save one Of sentiment, why they should be left there another min ute, says the New York Times. For there are many ways in which they can be used to advantage. Even if
 for reasons of sentiment you leave them in their comfortable trunks or
 packing cases, moths may find their
 hiding places and then their life will be measured.
 In this day of charming negligees
 any shoulder scarf can be transformed
 into part of a negligee- So if you
 have a gift shoulder scarf which for
 some reason is not in keeping with
 your evening frock, transform it into a
 negligee-with the aid of wisp of
 tulle, yard or two of ribbon, a few artificial flowers and little satin, net, silk or null.
 The scarf can be formed into puffed or flowing sleeves, put into g. satin
 jacket, which ties with ends made dle part in this case would be used for the sleeves. Or the negligee can be made with a chiffon panel back and front-from the scarf-held together with pleated tulle. trimmed with tiny roses made from little ends of the scarf material. Another way to use a scarf On negligee is to fasten it loosely at each sleeve, just as a scarf. 1nS. erect so produced Is cnarnlnS.
 Old shawls last year were often made over into interesting evening cioaks. Some edged with fur and softly lined with sofk- colored silk were really beautiful This year, when Persia will seemingly predominate, just as the Balkans and Egypt did last year. so far as the geography of our fashion influence is concerned, there is more reason than ever to bring out the old Persian shawl and to convert it into a wearable evening coat.
 Last spring an interesting evening gown of net and spangles was exhib- tied. It was before net had come in for the vogue that 1t is enjoying now and will probably enjoy for a long time. The dress showed foundation of plain white net but it was almost completely covered with Egyptianal gauze scarfs. spangied with tiny gilt disks and crescents..
 The result was an elaborate and rich evening gown. The spangies shimmered in every light and gave the net weight and dignity that made it the more attractive. With the gown there was a little cap of the spangled net. and an opera bag to match, lined with golden yellow silk.

At least nine- tentils of all human action is the result, purely and simply of habit Man is an instinctive ani- mai in spite of the reasoning faculties that have been given to him and hor- mally he acts first and thinks after wards.

EXAMS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

MaSsa chuSetts is displaying Oppo- sition to a bill before the legislature
 of that state which calls for the ex- animation of each and every auto
 driver. This measure is intended to
 bring about greater safety on the
 highways. which of course is greatly
 to be desired. and it is intended to
 lessen the danger which comes through
 the handling of cars by beginners. but
 according to it's terms it is intended
 that the law shall apply not only to
 those who seek licenses as drivers of automobiles in the future but to those
 who already hold licenses and have held them for years. It means in oth- CT words that the experienced as well as the inexperienced must undergo the tests prescribed by the law.
 Such a plan might be looked upon as admirable if there was any way in which it was possible to overcome carelessness, but that does not ap- pear to be possible. There can be lit tie question but what the thousands who hold licenses can pass any test to which they may be put by the board of examiners. and there is no reason to suppose but what there Is just as high a degree of carelessness, and as much Of a disposition, if not more among the experienced drivers to take chances as there is among the begin ners.
 It would be a simple matter for the old drivers to prove their efficiency in the operation of their machines, but it would be an entirely different matter to suppose that they would restrict themselves to such methods after the examiners back waS turned, just be- cause they had passed the test It is well enough to see that beginners can drive a car properly. but the idea of examining those who have driven for years, under the impression that such a test would abolish recklessness, means a lot of effort and expense that would go for naugnt. It Is the en- forcement of the law in such cases that is needed

Any one who has any spare time can devote it pleasantly and usefully by making pillow cases. They can be made much cheaper than bought and with little or no trouble. You can buy pillow tubing for 25 cents yard. Two yards will make a pair. Draw very evenly two rows of shallow scaIlops around the opening. Be careful that you measure them evenly so that you vii not have uneven scallops at the ends. That done. crochet a double edging without hemming the case. For .55 cents you can make a handsome pair of pillow cases. If desired one or more initials could be embroidered in the center above the crocheted edge.

To make silk stockings last from three to four months longer than us- ual darn the heel and toe before wear ing. When the stocking begins to wear it will be the alarming cotton that will be worn off; pull it out and darn again. Use a thick thread, about four strands. By watching them care fully pair of stockings can be darned eight or ten times without having the stockings show signs of wear. Also darn them on the top where the gar ter clasps. If silk stockings are washed after each wearing their life will be greatly prolonged. Another good thing to know is that if you rinse silk stockings, or any other kind before wearing at all they will last as long again for the treatment

X cHsLDrs APRON.

wear a bfb one can persuade 1t to cover its pretty frock with an apron, provided the apron is attractive. For this purpose a clever mother designed and make a very cunning model She used checked EIngham for the apron, and cut it 50 that the apron had sleeves. By using the kimono idea cutting the apron sieeyes in one, the pattern called for very little extra work or material. The neck line was bound with blue braid and the same trimmed the narrow cuffs into which the sleeves were gathered. Across the bottom of the apron was stitched a strip of white muslin on which ngures of children were painted. The muslin forms a deep pocket, which kiddie can use for any purpose she desires. The idea is no doubt taken from the pocket apron so much in favor with grown ups who do fancy work.

A TIMELY THOUGHT.

As spring is coming on and we are thinking of house cleaning and rem oyating, let us remember to first of all begin on a clean surface by fum- igating and sterilizing and disinfecting everything. This has been a winter of illness and death in hundreds of homes and therefore too much care and thought cannot be put into the cleansing of everything of germs. They turk where one would least suS- pect and encourage disease and ill., ness and perhaps death. Begin at the very foundation of everything to cleanse thoroughly

No ons is immune from accidents, and among the most common of these are the injuries caused by scalding. The pain Of the sufferer can be great ly al1eviated before the doctor ar rives if somebody present knows just what to do. Scalds should be treated practically the same as burns. The first step is to exclude the air by means of covering with the white of an egg, piece of clean old linen saturated with olive oil or even pure unsalted butter. In mild scalds leave the blister alone for twenty-four hours, but if the skin is badly scalded and the blisters are much raised above the surface prick them at the edge with sterilized needle and gently press until the liquid comes out. Great care should be taken not to injure the loose skin covering the blisters, as it Is needed as. a protector to krep the scald from getting raw.
