The women of Italy and France are
making millions of ration heaters for
the use of soldiers in the trenches and
In the high Alps. where coal cannot be
sert. They are made of old newspa-
pers and paraffin, for which Old candle
ends are used. There are thousands
of tons of old newspapers and millions
of candle ends In this country that
may be converted into fuel for the use
of men at the front, or In camps, or to
save kindlIng at home. The war Is
teaching us economy, and this lesson,
once learned, will not be altogether
forgotten.
It is so easy TO make ration heaters
that children do the work as success
fully as anyone and enjoy doing IT.
The Italian National society gives the
following directions for making them /:
spread out four newspapers, eight
sheets In all. and begin rolling at the
long end. Roll as tightly as possible,
until the papers are half rolled, then
fold back the first three sheets toward
the rolled part and continue to wrap

then fold back another three sheets

Simple and Dignified NegIigee.

Some negligees contrive to be sim.
pie and dignified, as well as pretty
they have "a grace I'm being gay"
Here is an example Of a negligee that
is as easy and comfortable as n XII
mono, presentable outside ones own
room and very easy to make for the
capable woman who does her own
sewing. 1t has an accordion plated
skirt of thin. light-colored silk and a
pretty coat Of crepe geOrgette or chif-
fon cloth.
The skirt Is straight and rather mar
row and hangs from very short I'M
derbodice. making high waist line.
The skirt and bodice are set together
with narrow beading. which is pretty
when crocheted of silk thread. like the
skirt In color. Black velvet baby rib
bon, run through two rows of the
heading, Is tied in a rosette at the
front and has hanging ends. This
touch of black Is effective on all the
light cOlors used for the gay and love-
ly house gowns.
The slipOver coat is long at the back
and has kimOnO sleeves. A vestee is
suggested by the short, pointed front.
All the seams are hem-stitched and a
hem, put In with this stitching. fur
nishes a simple decorative border for
every edge. This method of putting
together blouses. bodices and negligee
coats slmplifies matters for the home
dressmaker because all she needs do
is to haste In seams and hens and
turn the garment over to the profess
sional hemstltcher. The accordion
plating is also done by people who
have plating machines, but the home
dressmaker can manage side-plaits for
herself. In either case. the plaits are

Vatican Real Help to Rome.
And yet. it is perhaps the Vatican
that constitutes the best and sureSt
anti-aerial weapon. The pope lives
within its walls. and Austria, the most
Catholic monarchy. will send no bombs
to Rome. AS the capital of Italy.
Rome would perhaps not be spared,
but stray bomb on the Vatican would
trouble the cOnScienceS OF the dual
monarchy more than the slaughter Of
any number of innocent nOncOmbat-
ants and create complications for the
imperial government greater than they
care to face. 1t is doubtful whether
even Protestant Germany would care
to affront the conscience of q not in
considerable part of its population.
There have been no formal assurances
given to that effect-if they exist they
have not been made public-yet there
seems TO be tacit understanding
that because of the pOpe's presence
Rome is to be respected.
Thus, this city of many vicissitudes,
though prayer and fasting are as much
out of date as a means of defense Us
the terror by night" that haunted the
old monks of Subiaco, carries within
herself purely spiritual defense more
powerful than any glrdle Of steel.

DOWN THE DALMATiAN COAST
Strange superstItions Of the Mixed
People That Live Along the
Adriatic.

A much mixed. backward, and
strangely superstitious people are
those who dwell along the eastern
shores of the Adriatic sea, according
to a bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society. Greek colonies and
Roman municipal; Byzantian officials
and sick Franks abandoned on the
rocks of lara by Crusaders; Italians
exiled during the centuries of strife
among their petty states or brought
thither by trade ventures; the flood of
Slovenian and, later, of Ottoman, in
vasiOn; all these are the elements of
the people living along Austria-Hun-
gary's seacoast.
Vampires. diabolical ghosts. witches,
"vilen," and vengeful spirits are held
in great respect throughout this coun-
try. and the folklore is rich in their
doings and In the common mOrtars
philosophy of self-preservatiOn in q
world filled with such discouraging
things. The "alp," or nightmare, is
bitter old maid, recognizable by her
the sleeper and torments him. mayhap
fatally. She cannot, for some reason
or other, sit upon the sleepers side,
and the true Dalmation never thinks
of sleeping In any other way than on
| his side.
The vampire pursues its peculiar
Dalmatian orgies In the guise Of a
man or woman, lately dead and of
faulty existence, and is said to be
merely a human skin filled with blood
and covered with q shrOud. Witches
are bad-weather creatures; their evil
is unfettered only with the storm and
mist. To kill them, one throws three
grains Of corn and a wax candle at the
lightning before the thunder sounds.
Thus, they are best killed while the
storm is yet great way off. "vilen''
are maids with horses hoOfs. Mostly
these "vilen." or wood creatures, are
good and tolerant Of human happiness.
