They called me synonymes for fool;
New York, they said is fair and cool.
This town, they warned me, would be warm,
And full of Senators and dinges;
Each day, they said thunderstorm,
And hotter than the well-known hinges.
And so, believing all I'm told,
l thought the town would not be cold
I feared the Washingtonian heat;

They said that it was semi-tropic.

WRINKLES

Wrinkles disfigure, and a dry, sallow,
rough skin spoils any woman's good
looks. To those whose skin has
reached this condition we suggest the
application of Usit, pure nut-oil,
daintily perfumed liquid preparation
(nOt cream or pastel. 1t is the only
thing that will feed the hungry, dry
skin back to youthful smoothness,
freshness, and plumpness, and drive
away disfiguring wrinkles that come so
quickly when the skin is not properly
nourished.
Usit Is fine for the treatment Of skin
blemishes such as freckles, blackheads
and many forms of Eczema. A few
applications Of Usit proves its worth
and in a reasonable time brings Won
derful results. For further distrlbu-
ton a bargain. Once only. Try Usit
Face Powder de Luxe, which Is no or
binary face powder, but preparation
appealing to people of discriminating
and refined taste. Four tints-fesh,
white, pink and brunette. Delicately
perfumed. One soc bottle Usit and one
soc box Usit Face Powder de Luxe for

per. On this margin, consisting of two
sheets, spread n little glue or paste
and continue the rolling, so rs to make
a compact roll of paper almost like Il
torch. If six Of the sheets are not
turned under, there will be too many
edges to glue.
While the newspapers may be cut
along the line of the columns before
rolling and the individual columns
rolled separately, as is done In the
making of the trench candle in France,
It is easier to roll the whole newspaper
into q long roll and then cut II into
short lengths. A sharp carving knife,
pair of pruning shears, or an old
fashioned hay cutter will cut the rolls
easily. These little rolls must then be
boiled for four minutes in enough par

There is nothing that soldiers in the
trenches will be more grateful for than
this means of warming their food or
building fire, and nothing easier to
make for them. Schoolchildren are
being taught to make them. When
they are finished they are placed in
large bags and sent to the nearest

The women of Italy and France are
making millions of ration heaters for
the use of soldiers in the trenches and
In the high Alps, where coal cannot be
sent. They are made of old newspa-
pers and paraffin, for which old candle
ends are used. There are thousands
of tons of old newspapers and millions
of candle ends I'm this country that
may be converted into fuel for the use
of men at the front or in camps, or TO
save kindllng at home. The war is
teaching us economy, and this lesson,
once learned. will not be altogether
forgotten.
1t is so easy to make ration heaters
that children do the work as success
fully as anyone and enjoy doing 1t.
The Italian National society gives the
following directions for making them: :
spread out four newspapers, eight
sheets In all. and begin rolling ut the
long end. Roll as tightly as possible,
until the papers are half rolled, then
fold back the first three sheets toward
the rolled part and continue to wrap
around the roll almost to the first fold,
then fold back another three sheets
and continue to wrap around the roll

Simple and Dignified NegIigee.

Some negligees contrive to be sim.
pie and dignified, as well as pretty
they have "a grace in being gay"
Here is an example Of negligee that
Is as easy and comfortable as XII
mono, presentable outside ones own
room and very easy to make for the
capable woman who does her own
sewing. 1t has an accordion plated
skirt Of thin, light-colored silk and a
pretty coat of crepe georgette or chif-
fon cloth.
The skirt Is straight and rather mar
row and hangs from very short un-
derbodice, making high waist line.
The skirt and bodice are set together
with narrow beading, which is pretty
when crocheted of silk thread, like the
skirt in color. Black velvet baby rib
bon, run through two rows of the
heading, Is tied In n rosette at the
front and has hanging ends. This
touch Of black Is effective on all the
light colors used for the gay and love-
~ house gowns.
The slipover coat is long at the back
and has kimono sleeves. A vestee Is
suggested by the short, pointed front.
All the seams are hem-stitched and a
hem, put In with this stitching, fur
nishes a simple decorative border for
every edge. This method of putting
together blouses, bodices and negligee
coats simplifies matters for the home
dressmaker because all she needs do
is to haste In seams and hens and
turn the garment over to the profess
sional hemstitcher. The accordion
plating is also done by people who
have plating machines, but the home
dressmaker can manage side-plaits for
herself. In either case. the plaits are
to be very slightly dampened and

HOLES IN OTHER STOCKING
patient Clerk, Who Pulled OF
the Wrong Shoe.

The aristocratic and plutocratic
looking young woman walked into the
downtown shoe store, says the Indian
apolis News, and demanded a fitting.
demanded was the tone of voice.
Majestically she lowered herself into
the regulation seat proffered her by
the manager of the department and he
assigned CLASSY Charles, the niftiest
matinee idol In the shop, to the GUS
toner.
The woman began by asking to see
everything that was shown In the win
dow outside. Classy c. started out to
I'll the order. He did. But none Of the
shoes were good enough for madam's
dainty foot. AS the day wore on and
the customer stayed, G. G. began to
perspire. The other clerks looked on
and grinned. Not that they disliked
Charles, but, well, there was a feeling
among the fellows about him. All this
did not change the expression on Char
ley's face. 1t remained. that same
winning smile. But finally after about
half the stock had been laid out for in
Charles, Are you that rotten?" Which
made Charles as mad as could be. He
forgot himself. He violated the first
rule of etiquette of the shoe clerk.
(No, it is the second; the first is to
hand out the usual line about the
quality, etc.) He yanked off her left
shoe. 10, and behold, the stocking on
the left foot was full of holes! If
the right was perfect, what a flaw
in the woman's other piece of hosiery
The clerks gasped. The woman scream

COTTON SEED OIL PRICE FIXED BY

 Yesterday

McGee Porter, president of the Alabama Crushers' association; was yesterday in receipt of advices from Fielding Wal lace, president of the Interstate Crush ers' association, to the effect that he had been advised by Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator, that prices had been fixed upon cotton seed oil and cotton seed oil compounds.
 Pending further investigation we are authorized to sell cotton seed oil at $1.2' per gallon f. 0. b. mills, and cotton seed oil compounds at 211s cents per pound to all jobbing points said MT. Porter last night.
 For several weeks cotton seed oil has been fluxuating between BPS and SSs per gallon and it is assumed that the price fixed by Mr. Hoover is an even break on the market as an average Local oil mill managers have for some I time anticipated this price regulation and the notification yesterday was not by any means surprise to them.
