u. S. to Render Allieo
Financial Aid in Case
War Comes With Germany
IN .Assoeiated ~

Washington, March 22.-Plans for
rendering financial assistance to the
entente allies in case of war between
the United States and Germany are
under consideration informally by
Federal Reserve Board and other gov
ernment officials.
Two courses are said TO have been
presented: One, the placing of gem
eral credits to entente governments in
this country by individual banks to a
greater extent than heretofore; the
other, official action by the United
States government in placing q large
sum at the disposal of the entente.
Should the latter course be adopted
1t is thought probable the government
would raise the sum desired by a
bond issue to be designated for that
purpose, the proceeds to be loaned as
needed to France. Great Britain and
nrohably other entente governments.

WHEN YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO FURNISH BABY'S ROOM

Though we tried to find the baskets for our
homemade chest they were either too expensive
or not the right shape or size, so John decided
to make it all of wood. Since, have been
glad he did so, as the wood has proved to be
more serviceable, easier TO wash and more
dustproof.
"To make the chest, he bought three ten
foot Eastwood boards, twelve inches wide and
one-quarter inch thick, from which the four
boxes Tor drawers), twelve inches by eighteen
inches and six inches Deep and also the top
cover we're made The posts were made from
two 12-foot lengths Of Eastwood one and one
half inches by fve-eighths inch. Two sets Of
hinges were used, those for the cover being
very light. When finished the chest of drawers
stood three feet high.
"For lining, we purchased roll Of cotton
batting for 25 cents, three yards of pale blue
cotton silk, yard wide, at % cents yard,
two rolls of baby blue ribbon for 20 cents and
a lO-cent bottle of glue.
Then he figured the exact number of strips
required for lining the drawers and cut them.
He finished one drawer at time. He first
used strips of cotton batting as padding, then
tackled the strips of silk over them and finally,
to cover the tacks, glued baby ribbon along the
edges and corners of the drawer.
"This last process was tedious one as, TO
avoid dabs Of glue from oozing out beneath
the ribbon and spotting the silk, he had to use
the end of toothpick to barely moisten with
glue each edge of the ribbon. He pressed it
into place with a clean rag
"The inside of the lid was also padded and
lined and sewed little rosette of blue baby
ribbon, with tiny pink rosebud centre, onto
each corner. The lid being hinged we pre-
vented it from falling backward when open by
lengths Of ribbon
an the top drawer kept in place with bands
Of ribbon baby's white celluloid tray with its
brushes and comb. sewed loops of ribbon
into each corner, to hold in place the white
powder box and rolls Of antseptic gauze and
cotton.
1.-THE other drawers I use for her clothing
and wish could tell you how much nicer it is
to keep all of her little things together instead
of slowing them away haphazardly in one Of my
dresser drawers. However, if we had had TO-,
pay s26 for this little chest, and that was the
least expensive one lined, that | found my
dresser drawer would have had to answer.
might mention that our homemade chest cost
US s2.9l, as we paid $3.50 for the wood and
20 cents for the white paint and enamel
So it was with all the furniture in this room;
we saved on everything. The most that was
spent were many happy hours"
And when I babe this contented young
mother goodby and took last look around her
pretty nursery, wondered why more young
parents did not spend time, instead of money,
on their babies furniture

To make cranberry whip, which is an excel

net. By splitting one yard of the poplin IN
half and covering it, as | said before, with the
net, / found that it would line the basket part
nicely. / tackled It around thu inside in regular
folds, using tie t.ries. tacks could find, which
Jorr afteyward enamelled so cleverly that
they licked Ike 1ors in the net. The remain
ing y:rd of poplin and net | gathered on the
hoops, Forcing the hood thus formed to stay
erect by tying it to the basket handles with
lengths of baby ribbon.
$50, you see, the whole bassinet cost just
1888, allowing 20 cents for the paint and
enamel used and nothing for the baby ribbon,
which | had on hand Bassinets, all lined and
ready, cost anywhere from SO up. We fig
ured that ours would have cost us, had we
purchased it complete, about SIS.
1.-The little chest of drawers we are really
very proud of, for that, John acknowledges,
was rather hard to make. We went to the
stores and studied those for sale, which is the
only way to do if you attempt to make these
things. We noticed that the chests for sale
consisted of four fiat baskets set within
frame of eight upright poles, two at each cor
ner. The second and fourth baskets were
attached to one set of poles and hinged at one
front corner to swing outward, giving access
to all four baskets.
