What "The Folks" Think.

Every normal public official likes to
know what "the folks" think about
what he Is doing. A congressman In
Washington makes 1t point to keep
In touch with men back home who Will
let him know what Is going on. State
and local officials are concerned the
same way.
Even after election day public opin-
ion counts. It's most effective way Of
expressing itself Is through public or
CARNATIONS. Commercial clubs, I'M
provement associations, city clubs, and
similar institutions are the instruments
Of public opinion. They can make
themselves count for decent govern
ment between elections II they set
themselves to the job.-Kansas City

New York Man Asserts That Meat
Smoked With cornoobs is Delicaey
Fit for KIM.

There are probably million hams
mercial variety. No one pretends TO
guess at the number of human hams.
But u man on the upper West side
claims TO have two hams which are
different from all the hundreds of thou
sands Of others In New York. He Is
willing to wager that these two are
the only genuine cOrncob smoked hams
in town.
The hams come from Connecticut.
So did the man. AS boy on his
fathers farm he was fed, more or less,
on cob-smOked ham. He didn't realize
his luck at the time. But later, out In
world of hams smoked anyhow and
anywhere, he missed the old delectable
flavor and finally determined to re-
capture II.
Back to Connecticut he went on a
still hunt for farmer with cOrncobs
and hams and a willingness to intro
duce them TO each other. He found
his farmer up In the northwest corner
OF the state. And now early every
winter the only two cob-smoked hams
in town arrive at this mans house.
The process Of smoking them Is Il
matter of several weeks. Every day
shovelful of Goals is carried to the
smokehOuse and placed In sort OF
brazier with iron bars. Then a bushel
of corncobs Is dumped on the Goals
There must be no flame, just smol-
dering fire with plenty Of smoke. This
is repeated daily-New York Times.

TO Do This.

Tain't right now, for q woman to
enjoy the movies alone. She must
take her husband occasionally. and
also she must help him wash the sup
per dishes.
This is the SOlomonic wisdom dis
pensed by New York Judge In the
domestic relations court, where the
only thing he failed to find out about
John Mackey was how he managed to
squander So a month. John, who Is an
electrician and lives with his wife and
four children, was arraigned on a
charge Of cruelty preferred by Mrs.
Mackey. When her story had been
told the magistrate asked Mackey
what he had to say In defense.
"Pve worked at the same place for
twenty-five years." he said. 1--WE
turned my earnings over to my wife
twenty-six dollars u week and l give
my wife twenty dollars pay night for
food and clothing for herself and the
children. Out OF the balance i pay
the rent OF sixteen dollars Il month.
Every night my wife leaves me to do
the dishes, while she goes out to a
movie show or to visit friends. She
never will take me along with her."
Charge dismissed" said the court.
thereafter, Mrs. Mackey, you will
help your husband with the dishes and
take him out to the movie once In

Of material at the hem, and the high
class shops offered to women the skirt
that was gathered at the waist and
deliberately trimmed from the knees
down.
Hard to Convert.
The reporters kept hammering at the
fact that the woman OF wisdom should
not indulge In bargains that were Of
fered in full and flaring skirts, but
great number of women insisted that
If the silhouette changed, IL was easier
to take the fullness out OF skirt
than TO put Ii In.
Even rs late as the middle OF Febru-
airy high-class shops were offering
skirts that measured from five to seven
yards at the hem. True, these hens
did not flare they hung Imply against
the figure, but they were not cut ac-
cording 10 the prophesied silhouette
which has come true.
1t may also come about that the
greater number of women will not take
up the narrow skirt when II appears
In most of the French models but If
the narrow skirt will grow In strength
as the spring advances and will be-
come the accepted silhouette of the
summer. Women Of judgment and ad

the five-yard hem a second-class fash

The openings in Paris as they have
been outlined to this country, can be
summed up briefly as advance infor-
nation to those who are already look
Ing for new spring clothes.
A vast number of separate skirts
were turned out by the best designers,
through the request of the American
buyers, II Is said. This fact argues
that the American woman will take up
the separate skirt with a sports jacket
or sweater or separate coat, as she

Fewer Tailored Suits.
There are fewer tailored suits turned
out than usual. The deficit is due TO
the fact that the men who do this kind
OF work are under the colors. The one
piece frock, the three-quarter top coat,
the separate skirt and the chemise
blouse are the garments that are of
fered instead of the usual coat and
skirt of cloth or silk.
The majority of one-piece gowns
carry loose wraps with them. These
capelike garments are made of the
same material and faced with an OPP
posing color. and again, they are OF
another material and color.

Irritation In Utah Mountains.

Up In the Utah mountains some very
clever points In irrigation are devel-
oped. One worth this special notice
is In the irrigation of deciduous fruit
trees. In this case they had Il deep,
grayelly soil to deal with and they
found that by frequent irrigations, ap-
piled about once week, they pro-
duced more twig growth In peach trees
with 81 acre Inches than with 6Z
inches. As regards crops. the frequent
application Of water produced the most
fruit, and no amount of water applied
early In the season will compensate for
lack OF water during the month before
harvest. High color OF fruit was asso-
ciated with late watering and INSULT
cient irrigation produced poor colorsd

Makes Roofers Work Easier.

The tin roofer formerly received his
metal In the shape OF plates. and these
were soldered together as they were
used. This operation consumed a great
deal of time. as 1t was generally done
on the scene Of the work under adverse
conditions, but recently there has been
introduced machine which soldiers
these sheets together and delivers them
In roll of any desired length. SO that
the workman is saved much time I'm
assembling the sheets on the roof. The
sheets, with edges locked, are hooked
together and fed into the machine,
one seam being cold pressed while the
one before 1t Is hot pressed. The ma
chine is worked by one man. The
capacity of the machine is four seams
per minute, or 20 boxes of tin plate per
day. The economy and speed of this
arrangement for the workman will be
evident to anyone.

nahst,' we suggest that a more digni- tied method of extolling the profession be employed and that on the fold of a flowing necktie there be fes- tooned the slogan, "The pen is mlghtier than the sword.' Trousers of slender model, with stripes running perpendicularly up and down the leg to denote the length of service,-not of the trousers, but the man,-might be in keeping with the rest of the outfit. One pair of tortoise shell glasses for street wear, and a cane, would complete the picture.
 As there is no state in the union at present in the business of licensing journalists we suggest that the mem bers of the Connecticut state legisla- ture lose no time in adopting the pro- posed measure. It will add to our prestige in the family of states to draft this measure forthwith. There can be but one objection to the plan as proposed. That is the licensing fee. Ten dollars taken from the exchequer of some journalists in this or any other state would probably put them out of business forever and a day. It must be remembered that the practice of journalism is slightly different rom that of clipping coupons or conduct ing war brides honeymoon tour The pen might be mightier than the sword, but it has yet to fathom the workings of the stock market.

Inaugural Press Agenting.
(Nevspaperdom.)

No sinecure is position on the press committee of the presidential inaugural committee. but responsibility that involves a whole lot of hard work between now and March A.
 At the head of the organiza ton for preparing the press notices on the second inauguration of President Will son is Frank B, Lord, a former presi- dent of the National Press club and a writer whose selection would seem to be eminently suitable even if one did not take into consideration the publicity work which he did for the democratic national committee during the recent presidential election, Mr. Lord is the Washington correspondent or the Bufalo Times-the publisher or which is the genial Norman F. Mack, erstwhile democratic national cha1rman-and he has written exten- sively for the National Monthly the political periodical likewise published by MT Mack and which, under the name Literary Magazine has been cir culated as supplement with soma seventy daily and weekly newspapers throughout the country.
 Serving with Chairman Lord on tho press committee are other officers equally qualified. Grafton S, Wilcox of the Associated Press, new president Of the National Press club, Is vice chairman; James D. Preston. suner- intendent of the U. S, Senate pros. Gallery, is secretary, and Willia m Donaldson, superintendent of the Press Gallery of the House of Ren- resentatives, Is assistant secret.

Uplifting the Business Girl

Systematically, society has always
 taken an interest in the business girl. First because it gives it's members
 something to do; and, finally, because
 society has found that business women
 are really worth cultivating. But they
 have tried to help her from the out
 side in. What do they know of the all
 pervading, soul-searing, bitter loneli-
 ness we know? They establish for us
 working-girls' clubs and Jean clubs,
 and herd us into chilly institutions that are only one remove from a charitable institution. They put in for matron some needy woman who
 needs a home and who hasn't the
 faintest conception of how to make one for the dozens of lonely girls who
 flock to it. l have lived in these homes. Like the rest, I did not want to be uplifted: it was as unpleasant for us as it was for the uplifters. We wanted to get acquainted. They mean we'll, these women, and perhaps we do them some good. l suppose their in- terest in us comes at the deadly time of life when they realize that their waist-line will never again be what it was and they find themselves being shifted to the frankly middle-aged crowd at the bridge-tabtes.
 But when we have earned the money to buy ticket to the theater or a concert, we do not relish having humbly to ask permission of a dis approving matron to remain out after ten n-thirty. Nor do we like to have tho board of directors come to visit the home and poke around through the closets and our bureau drawers to see if we keep things neat and tidy.
 We have learned our economic inde- pendence and our right to keep our upper bureau drawer as we please, we business women. Perhaps we have had to sacrifice a few ideals and per haps it has been better for us to sac l rifice them.
