CLEANING SiLVERWARE.

Do you know that every time you clean your silver with polish you remove a certain amount of the silver a. well the tarnish which covers it? And do you also know that there is a very simple home method of re- moving the tarnish electrolytically which does not in any way impair the silver?
 This method is not new, and yet it is not generally known to housewives. Before trying it, it is well to realize that tarnish comes from the action of sulphur either in foods, like eggs. or in the atmosphere. due to burning il- 1uminating gas or coal.
 This tarnish is not just a deposit or a coating, but it has a silver con- tent. therefore it should not be re- moved, but under the proper electrical conditions it should be so dissolved that it gives back the silver contained in it. This can be done by th0 use of the following equipment: A granite or enameled cooking utensil. deep enough to allow the silver to be cov- cred "a clean piece of aluminium or zinc. preferably the former. which can be sunk in the cooking utensil and a solution of a teaspoonful of baking or washing soda and a like amount of ter.
 Put the solution into the utensfl over the stove and let it boil, then drop in the sheet of aluminium or zinc and then place the silver in this while the water is boiling and let it come in contact with the sheet of metal The presence of both the silver and the aluminium or zinc in the hot solu ton produces the electrical condition necessary to break down the tarnish chemically. and return the silver de- posit to the article being cleaned. The tarnish should disappear in a few sec onds. The silver should then be taken from the boiling solution rinsed and dried.
 It is suggested that a piece of alum mum be used in preference to zinc, as the zinc becomes coated with car bonates, and must be cleaned fre- quently in hydrochloric acid.

RIBBON ACCESSORIES.

That dress accessories made of rib bon will be used extensively this sea son there is no doubt, judging from those offered and the favor with which they are accepted. Included are gir- dies, belts, bags, collar and cuff sets, hats and numerous other articles. It IS astonishing how many of these ac- cessories can be used to splendid ad- vantage with a simple afternoon frock. For sport occasions there are some stunning sets consisting of bag, belt and hat band. al of the same kind of ribbon. These add unlimited smart ness to an outfit. In these sport sets the ribbon employed seldom runs wid CT than 3 inches. ribbon set is made of 6-inch satin ribbon. The sash girdle with it's rich silk embroid cry was one item. The novelty bag and the smart. jaunty hat were also of the same ribbon. Added to a rath CT simple silk voile frock these acces- sories proved distinctive and appro priate. It is touches such as these that give added interest to a costume particularly when the gown is so pain that it barely escapes being severe. It is in such cases this that the pur- chaser must give attention to the quality of the finish as much as any thing else. Silk -sewed seams should be denla nded in garments if the best in quality, durability and style value is desired.

"CUT-OUT" DECORATIONS,

Quite a new fad in hat trimming has been launched in the form of 'cut-out' and appliqued figures set on the crown and brim. Eitheg felt or The cotors are just as bright as can be obtained. Very often as many as three different colors are used on the one hat. Much of the novelty is ob- tained by the placing of the "cut out" figures. The idea is to represent the various accessories for popular sport occasions. A hat is shown in white felt in mushroom shape and directly in front is placed a two-mast sail boat. On the right side there is ten- his racket and ball and one the left two golf sticks. At measured inter va1s on the mushroom brim there are various other sport props. The effect is quite novel and very attractive and makes the hat strictly Q sport item. Such hat will go far to Hven up an otherwise plain sport outfit.

STORIES OF THE WAR

 It had been the Czech soldiers in tention to enter as a volunteer into the ranks of the Czecho -Slovak Bri gade which has by this time grown into two divisions and has so dis tinguished itself in the present Rus sian offensive around Halicz That his name and his heroic deed should not be forgotten, the comma nder of the brigade issued an order to have Mrnak's name inscribed on the roll of Company A of the first regiment of the Czecho-S ovak brigade of sharp shooters. It was further ordered that at every roll-eall, when Mrnaks name is called. the sergeant of the first squad shall answer: Shot by Hunga = rian court martial ir Pressburg for saving General Korniloff'

the Call

Tacoma has responded to
the call in great style.

quarters, Red Cross member
ships in Tacoma and Pierce

1880 by Monday night when
the big seven-day drive

pass the 10000 mark.
These figures are based on the
careful estimate made by Cam

already reported.
Tacoma's quota, based on the
estimates for the nation, was
$500.
Expectations Exceeded.
1.-THE response of Tacoma people

PART OF
SHELTER
TIED UP

With several other skilled
workmen from various parts of
the plant quitting their posts Sun
day, striking men of the refiner-
les and casting house at the Ia
coma smelter reported Monday
that 20 per cent Of the entire
force had gone on strike. The re-
filming and casting departments Of
the smelter have been closed since
the strike started Friday after
noon.
Strikers declared Monday that
advertisements of the smelter
company, giving the list of wages
paid to workers, was misleading.
1.-The list indicates to anyone
not familiar with the facts that
the workmen at the smelter are
getting good wages" said C.. Nc
Clellan, a member of the strik-
ers' publicity committee.
"As a matter of fact, a major
ity of the men on strike are listed
as laborers, and their wages are
mostly $3.50 a day. The other
Jobs shown in the smelter ads are
those of foremen. For most OF
those jobs there is only one man."
No trouble has developed thru
the smelter strike. Men on strike
denied Monday the rumor that a
shot had been fired near the
smelter plant.
Charles Perry Taylor, secretary
of the State Federation of Labor,
met with the strikers Monday.
A telegram was sent to Ernest
Mills of Denver, secretary of the
International Association of Mill,
Mine and Smeltermen, advising
him of the causes of the strike. A
charter has been asked of the
American Federation of Labor.
