WOMEN FRUIT PICKER
 GET 8 CENTS AN HOUR
Correspondence Associated Press)

(Correspondence Associated Press)
 London Aug. 20-Five American women, five French women, and ten English women, who volunteered for farm work with the National Land council, have been sent for month to trough it" as fruit pickers in the orchards about twenty miles from London. They live in barn and work from eight in the morning to six at night. The fruit is all hand-picked from long ladders and the work is not easy.
 They get eight cenets an hour, the same as the regular fruit pickers who come into the fruit district each year from the East End of London and who sleep in freight cars along the sidings.
 The big upper floor of their barn dormitory is curtained off into twenty compartments where the girls sleep on straw. They board themselves; each has her own teapot and dishes, and prepares her own breakfast and luncheon. Dinner they have togeth- CT, assessing themselves fourteen conts each to cover the cost of the ma terial, while one of their number, chosen in turn, is called the "orderly of the day." and stays in to prepare the dinner, which usually consists of a stew, suet pudding, bread and syrup or jam.
 Their working costumes are of various types, each occording to the wearer's fancy. One American girl designed and made for herself a uni form consisting of riding brooches, gaiters, a riding coat and slouch hat. The French girls affect blouses and knickerbockers. One of the Eng lishwomen has remarkable head dress picked up years ago in an Ital- ian village.

It is commendable thing that oul state department has visibly thrown overheard the sinister methods of so- called "secret diplomacy"
 The department with one sweep of the hand brushed aside tradition when it made public the Swedish-Argentine incident recently. In every other na- tion on earth such information would have been carefully guarded in the secret archives of the capitals and only read by government officials.
 We think that if our system had been in vogue in Europe before. 1914 there would have been no world war, because it was the secretive machina- tions and intrigue of the various gov ernments that had much to do in set ting the stage for the diplomatic fiasco of August, 1914.

NORWEGIAN SHIP
 BU LIT OF CONCRETE

(Correspondnce Associated Press)
 Christiania, Aug. .20.-The first Nor wegian ship to be built of reinforced concrete was launched the other day in the presence of Premier Knudsen and distinguished gathering of ship ping men, engineering exports, and government officials. The premier, himself, an old civil engineer, compli- mented the designer on his "epoch- making enterprise"
 The chief importance of the de- parture lies in the speed with which the vessel was constructed, it having been only three weeks from start to launching. The original frame, more over, can be used for each subsequent ship of the same size, and construc- tion in the future is expected to oc- cupy only about half that time.
 It is true that this first ship is only of 200 tons, but vessels of 800 and 1000 tons are to begin shortly. It is expected that it will take about six weeks to complete 1000 tonship.

ETIQUETTE.

So much has been written concern ing the simple rules for conducting a wedding that it might be supposed there remained nothing more to be said. A couple of letters to hand, however, ask a little more informa- tion about the rIoper method of sending invitations, by whom they are issued, who pays expenses, and the like.
 For the first, invitations are issued and paid for by the parents of the bride. If her mother is a widow they are sent in her name alone. If the bride is an orphan invitations are sent by brother guardian or near est male relative. Should the broth CT or any of the others mentioned be married his wife's name should be included.
 Usually invitations are sent out two weeks before the date of tle wedding, or three if they are mailed. A custom that once obtained was for the cards Of invitation to be left at the homes of those invited by some members of the family driving, but now the post is the better way.

Women Everywhere
 Use Lemon Juice To Beautify Skin

The beauty lotion which is becom- Ing so popular throughout the coun- try is easily prepared by anyone, and a whole quarter pint of it doesn't cost any more than small jar of the common, ordinary cold creams.
 Add the juice of two fresh lemons to three ounces of orchard whit. and shake well in a bottle. Strain the lemon juice two or three times through fine cloth so no pulp gets into the lotion, then it will keep fresh for months. Regardless of what price you pay or how highly advertised, there is nothing else really more meritor- ious in beutifying, softening and clear ing the skin. As a tan and blemish re- mover, also to remove oiliness and sal lowness, lemon juice has no rival. Massage it into the face, neck, and arms once or twice each day, and just see if it doesn't bring out the roses and hidden beauty!
 Lemons have always been used to bleach the skin, but pure lemon juice is too highly acid, therefore should never be used except in this man. ner.
 If properly prepared, this sweetly fragrant lotion will speak for itself. Any drug store will supply the three ounces of orchard white at very little cost, and the grocer will supply the lemons.-Adv.

HATE.

When the war started the Germans chanted "Song of Hate." It was es- pecially directed at England, and was a hundred times more hectic in con- ception than the amusing "Gott Strafe England"
 But it didn't make good soldiers 1t turned many of them into brutes. Gradually the "Song of Hate" got into disrepute in Germany, and bishops and church dignitaries began inveighing against the doctrine.
 An American paper that brides itself on it's hatred, apparently, was severely rebuked by director of morale in the United States army for it's attempts to harp on the chord of hate.
 John Kellman, great Scottosh re- ligious leader, who has spent two years in the trenches, said recently:
 "Most of the first class hating is done by the tay-at-homes-the peo- pie who work themselves up into a fury at dances, pink teas or behind the closed doors of their offices. It is not done in the trenches.
 A soldier who has spent two years in the trenches has declared that the men in the trenches on the allied side know nothing about hatred. They are fighting for great object, not be- cause of primeval emotions. The kill ing of the enemy is merely the way in which the object is to be attained, rot the object itself.
 And so "pure hatred" goes unown- ed. Army officers say that the men who are actuated merely by hatred about two percent of the men in the Franks and the officers-invariably are the poorest material in the forces. A card given to me to sign in some camps specifically pledges taking part in the war "free from personal hatred, wanton brutality or graft" :" and it is noteworthy fact that the highest percentage of signatures ob- tained-the signatures not being obli- gatory-are from the best companies.
