ECONOMIC OPERATION
 OF THE RED CROSS

In accordance with it's policy of keeping the people of the country thoroughly informed on all of its ac- tivities, the War Council of the Amer ican Red Cross makes public sum mary of salaries paid at National Headquarters as of November 1.
 On that date there were 423 paid employees, reduction of 63 in the month of October. There are now 8S volunteers at National Headquarters, who devote their entire time to Red Cross work without remuneration. The salaries paid were classified as follows:
 Under $500, S5; $6OO but less than $l lOO0, 1S2; $1,000, but less than $1,- 800, S6; 1,500, but less than $2,000, $33; $2,000, but less than $2,50O, 10; $2,500, but less than S3,0O0, 6; $3,- 900, but less than 5000, IS; over S5,000, 3.
 Four months ago, there were 700 paid officers and employees at Ma tional Headquarters. Since that date the membership of the American Red Cross has been tripled and the num- Der of chapters doubled. In spite of this enormous growth the number of paid employees has been decreased by PIT.
 This reduction is due in part to the decentralization of administration which has transferred much routine work from National Headquarters to the thirteen divisional offices, whose pay rolls are not included in the above statemtnt, and in part to the readjustments at National Head quarters.

WAR RECIPES.
(By Isabel Gordon Curtis)

The views of Isabel Gordon Curtis, who is well known in every American Household through her long service in solving the cooking problems for the readers of Good Housekeeping Golfers, Delineator and Success Mag azine are in complete harmony with the Food Administration upon the all important question-Bread.
 When the query was recently put to Isabel Gordon Curtis, "Where and how did you learn to cook?" she went back to the days of her child hood, which were spent in Scotland.
 eff was eager for one thing" she confesses, "it was to get into the kitchen on baking days. Baking day in Scottish kitchen is very different from that in America. No yeast raised bread is made, no cakes, no cookies, pies, or doughnuts. Twice a week Scotch housewife piles a tray full of crisp oatcakes. They are bak- ed on a griddle, then dried on lit tie hanging shelf in front of red peat fire. There is a batch of puffy scones, also griddle-baked; but no sweet stuff. The stoves are long ranges built into the wall; they nev- CT fire up enough to bake anything that needs more heat than a milk pudding. Then Scotch women do not know the secret of bread-making, for Goaf-bread', as it is called, comes from the bakeshops. For me there was no fascination of watching bread rise or the mysterious process of kneading. Only loved to roll out my own little oatcakes and scenes and bake the tiny batch on the edge of the griddle."

course the old favorite, the sailor col lar, is with us in many forms, both large and small. Heavy tassels weigh down some of the collars in the front or back; others, standing high around the throat, fasten on one side. The jabot of lace or lace-edged and em- broidered materials is used on some of the smart French waists.
 The Street Costume.
 For morning and to wear on the street, French worsteds, in stripes, plaids and checks, are considered very chic. This little model has a deep yoke, shaped cuffs and an odd ar engagement of the belt. The sleeves fit smoothly into the armhole, giving the narrow shoulder which is such a feature of the present mode.

cloth, the color of meerschaum pipe, and the collar, unusual in size and ar engagement, is of white broadcloth. Simple, yes, but absolutely charming and appropriate for any occasion when one wishes to be particularly we'll dressed. The sleeves are long and tight, and the belt does not define the figure, but carries out the straight sil- houette. The skirt is longer than one is accustomed to see, but this instep length is a new feature in the winter fashions.
 Pleats, indeed, are very fashionable this year. They are found on skirts, tunics and even coats. The box-pleat seems to be the most favored, though the tiny knife-pleat and the wider side-pleat are being used great deal.
 Hens, Even and Uneven.
 Quite a good deal of interest is be- ing centered in the hem. It is often quite wide, nine or ten inches, and can be beaded, embroidered or left plain as the occasion demands. One of the most attractive dresses I have seen lately was a simple affair of rose Georgette crepe, with ten-inch hem headed by four rows of hemstitching in the same color. There was Goth ic tower design on the waist in hem stitching, and the surplice collar and long full sleeves were picot-edged.

kidneys were in a bad way. I have seen the time when 1 could hardly bend and when I did, it felt as though the muscles of my back had snapped. Many time my sight would become blurred and there seemed to be a black screen before my eyes and ev- erything seemed to be whirling. When I got out of bed mornings, I felt as tired as though I hadn't had any sleep. A friend knowing what bad shape l was in told me about Doan's Kidney Pills and I used them. In a short time I felt fine"

unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and synp- toms--which vary widely but may in- clude pain in the back, headache, ner- vousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, tizziness, ir- regular heart, debility, drowsiness dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the danger is overcome.

The uneven hem is found on some very smart frocks. Very long on one side, the skirt is either draped in the back, bustle-wise, or on one hip. The hem is then faced back with some con trasting color, and the result is charm ing. Tunics, too, have these uneven hems. Some are short on both sides and longer in the front and back, oth- CTS being just the other way, longer on the sides than in the front and back.
 About the Neck.
 Collars are being much elaborated on, and new ideas are constantly be- ing seen. The thin collar of organdie on costume of heavy material is much favored. They may be very plain, the material cut double, without any trimming whatsoever, or they may have tiny pleatings of the same material, lace or net. Some are elab- orateiy beaded and embroidered. One stunning collar -and-cuff set was of white organdie, embroidered in silver. Crepe de chine, Georgette crepe, silk and satin are used extensively. Elan nel, broadcloth and pique are worn with the woolen dress. One odd set on green jersey suit was of cham ois, pinked around the edges.
 Some of the big shops here in New York are showing blouses and dress es made without a collar. The neck is either rounded or cut in the straight across fashion of the Grecian tunic. Sometimes the collar on the after noon or evening dress takes the form of a frame of tulle or sating outlin- ing the square neck. The draped or monk collar is still popular, and of

THE DAY OF THE PLEAT--
 LOOKING HEMWARD

Service" is wonderful word; it applies to things big and little, and in these stirring times it has taken on q new significance. We are all serv- ing, in some way or other, and so in our clothes, the outward symbol of ourselves, we express our ideas of ser vice. There has been great deal of talk about simplicity, about lack of trimming on the new modes, and how very smart and distinctive these frocks are. Back of this feature of the mode of the moment stands the real motive, Patriotism, and we can call it by any name We please so long as We follow its lead.
 To Be or Not to Be--Pleated.
 There is something very satisfying about the pleated dress. The long lines, uninterrupted by trimming, are becoming to old and young. The ef- feet of narrowness is preserved with out the uncomfortableness of the ex- tremely narrow skirt. The smart frock Illustrated here is of tan broad

by the ordinary individual. there are

quired, and il the registrant goes
ahead and fills it out 10 the best of

the QUESTIONABLE by himself. he takes
it to the advisory board. which is sta

soever, and will consequently have the
assurance that there Will be nothing

BELIEVED IRISH HOME RULE
WILL BE SETTLED.
London, April 26.-Announcement
today that Premier Lloyd George had
postponed for a few days his state
ment on Irish home rule, promised
this week, aroused hopes of complete
settlement of the question. It was
believed that Lloyd George was max
ing a final effort to reconcile the va
riOUs Irish elements as a result of
urgent representations from Foreign
Sec'y Balfour, now in Washington.
BaIfour was reported to have in
dicated to Lloyd George that the
American government and the Amer
lean people favored home rule and
that solidarity between the United
States and Great Britain would be
greatly enhanced by recognition of
this sentiment here.
The London public was much i'm
pressed today by a great display in
the Northcliffe newspapers repre-
senting a canvass of American senti-
ment by it's American correspondent
and including quotations from
Roosevelt, Taft and prominent Amer
leans, favOring home rule.
