If you do not come up to the standard
you will lose your job. The reason
there are so many wretched housekeep-

their jobs for life and can't be fired

reason; another Is, a multiplicity of
duties, so various that no particular
one Of them can receive due attention,
and still another is, that they have
not the incentive of a weekly pay en-

velope at all, even a yearly one.

TO MAKE NEGLIGEE AND CAP
Small Amount of Material, FASH
ion Writer States.

There is something particularly at
tractive about a thing hat is simple
to make, according to a fashion critic.
Then when it turns out a confection,
too, it becomes an absolute joy for
ever. Just such a thing is the boudoir
cap made from a perfect square of
material. 1t Is one Of those fascinat-
ing Arabian models with long soft
folds falling well to the shoulder and
forming an attractive though maybe
a bit severe frame for the face.
All you have to do to achieve it is
to take the square of silk or lace or
whatever else you are going to use,
fold it ~diagonally or c~ornerwise, place
1t on the center of the head so that
the four points of the hankie fall equi-
distant from the center. Now elimi-
nate the front point altogether by first
cutting out an oval the shape Of the
face and continuing the line down
alongside the head. The cap is kept
in place with a bright band of ribbon
through the cap and fastened COM
fortably tight in back. One Of those
brilliant Japanese or Chinese hankies
is ideal for the purpose.
How about a new short summer
negligee from a yard and a half of
material? You can do it, too, If you
choose your material con the square,"
You see, 1t has to be 81 by 81. Begin
by cutting out quite a deep square
back and front for the neck, which
will, of course, be directly In the EN-
ter of the square. Now simply pull
the square over the head, being sur
to have the two sides fall in half
across the extended arms. Then seam
the lower sides to form the sleeve
simulations. The rest Of the negligee
hangs quite loose. If you would fur
ther elaborate 1t, cut out a deep
square on each sleeve just below the
shoulder. These are strapped with
three cords, either ribbon OF a metal
lie fabric. You may make like in
cisions on the front and back of the
garment, too, and strap them also.

have been it yet why had she selected
him as the likeliest looking pickpocket
In the crowd? Wilbert Dunton was
much chagrined and decidedly sore.
Not an hour after the episode or
Broadway, a certain young woman
stood before her dressing table.
aren't you ever going to be dressed
for dinner?" demanded her aunt, en-
tering from the other room.
"Of course, 1 am! But auntie, it is
so enhancing! The stuck-up thing
didn't even remember me, and I just
slipped my purse into his pocket and
then accused him of taking it."
"Why, Margie Everly! How could

"The idea, his not knowing me
WHY. when I was sixteen, didn't he
win my young heart? Didn't he even

seven years he doesn't even know

"Well, you terrible child What will
YOU be doing next? Please do try to
behave at the Morton's masque to-
night. Your costumes here and 1t is
a dream. And Margery, Wilbert Dun
ton is sure to be there! 1 only hope
he won't remember the pert young
woman who called him a pickpocket
and then rubbed 1t in by giving him
twenty dollars to start him on a new
life" And the good lady sighed a bit,
for she had hoped, or at least figured
that Wilbert Dunton might be a matri-
monial possibility for the niece whom
she had ventured to pilot through the
social season.
However, that young lady was, or
seemed to be, entirely mistress of her
own destiny, for after she was
dressed she slipped down to the phone
and called a certain number. Then
waited demurely.
"Hello, this Is Dunton," came his
well-bred voice.
"Hello, pickpocket," she laughed
into the phone.
IT beg your pardon
"Don't be digniied. A pickpocket
is never dignifed."
Dunton grinned in spite Of himself.
"And who might you BET"
"I? Oh, I might be almost anyone.
but I'm not. I'm only-Poinsettia."

Dunton vaguely. But he was speak

R M CAPE BECOMES A FAD
italian Aviator Style Enables Splen-
did Use of Cloth, Serge, Satin
and the Jersey.

Whether the italian aviator brought
about the revival Of the cape, the fact
remains that it is the fad of the sea-
son.
1t was left to Catherine DeMedici to
introduce a flowing cape, she who also
introduced the corset, the small bon
net afterward called the Marie Stuart,
and the pompadour, which was then
called zen r%aQuette," says an ex-
change. Marie Stuart, her daughter-in-
law, improved On the cape and wore
it as a voluminous garment that fell
from her famous black-and-white ruche
to the edge of her train.
Today we think of the cape as be-
longing to %brigands, to grand opera, to
Italian aviators and to the navy. May
be it was from all these inspirations
that France started to make the cape
on a woman the most fashionable gar
ment of the spring.
There are capes of cloth, serge, satin
and jersey. The latter are especially
smart. They are lined with colored
silks, some have high collars of fur
and others are of plain but conspicu-
Gus black-and-white satin with heavy
embroidery.
Waistcoats, are fashionable as
capes, and they are even making them

fellow refugees particularly until he
felt a hand on his arm and a strange
low voice addressed him confidentially.

With a hot feeling of surprised an
ger Dunton looked down into a calm
pair Of gray eyes. Instinctively he
slipped both hands into the pockets
Of his light ~overcoat, and to his CON
~sternation the fingers of his right
hand closed over a strange folded
purse.
"But-but," he protested, withdraw
ing the purse slowly from his pocket,

drew therefrom a new $40 bill. This
she thrust into his hand and ducked
out across the sidewalk through the
pouring rain and into a taxi, without

MOTOR PARCELS DELIVERY FOR

When the work to be jointly done
by the state and Federal authorities
on the road between Atlanta and Ma.
con is completed, and things now are
in shape to get it under way, accord
ing to a statement from Judge T. E.
Patterson, of the highway department,
today, there is strong indiction a

by the government
Judge Patterson said today the pro-
ject for the Atlanta-Macon road has
been finally approved by the Federal
authorities, that Monroe county, the
only hold-up along the route has de-
cided to come in with its share of the
money for road work on that lap of
the road, and now the department is
in position to go ahead with the act

Judge r. E. Davidson, chairman of

that 'those people are mad because

that the question is undoubtedly going

GREAT EFFORT TO
SAVE GARBAGE
IMMENSE LOSSES OCCUR IN
WASTEAGE AND GARBAGE

A campaign for the utilization of
garbage has been inaugurated by the
United States Food Administration
which is advising all State Admins
traitors to spread garbage utilization
propaganda through their territory and
urge upon housekeepers the necessi.
ty for keeping garbage (kitchen and
table refuse) in separate container
from other house refuse.
Figures and statistics issued by the
Food Administration show that in one
ton OF garbage there is sufficient Civ
cerine to make the explosive charge
for fourteen rs millimeter shells
enough fatty acid" to manufacture
70 pounds of soap, fertilizer elements
to grow eight bushels of wheat and
score of other valuable materials es-
sential in the manufacture of NUM-
tons.
1t is also pointed out that "a cities
of over 100000 population are not utili.
zing garbage and that the combined
w 10 tod 10 IC
over 100000, is wasting 4,40O, 900
pounds of nitro-glycerine and 40,000,00
II ounce cakes of soap besides 10000
tons of tankage which contains ferti.
liZer elements sufficient to produce
three million bushel wheat crop. The
value of this loss of materials is es.
timated at $5,OOO,OOO
In rs cities where there are garbage
utilization plants the figures show
that combined population of $4,000,
600 people are utilizing these products
to the value of over 81 900 900 annu
ally, and that large percentage OF
this saving is being directly used by
the government in munition making
Plans are under way in several cities
for the manufacture of alcohol on a
large scale from garbage and from ex.
periments it has been shown that the
grade of alcohol produced equals a
high grade grain product.
But in these 30 cities, or most OF
them, large amounts of garbage are
destroyed by burning or made use
less by being mixed with other wastes
This means that around 100000
pounds of grease is lost, or sufficient ia
produce 100000 pounds of nitro-gly
4 cerine which would furnish the pow
der charge of about 100000 shells OF
of the the famous French 75's. In adj
dition there is a loss of fatty acids
sufficient to manufacture 25,000, 900 II
ounce cakes of soap.
The fertilizer waste amounts to l.
| 900 pounds of nitrogen, $780, 900
/ pounds of phosphate of lime, and $780,
600 pounds of potash or enough for
the replacement of the elements re-
moved from the soil by million bush
els of wheat. In other words, a waste
/ of 22,500 tons of fertilizer.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-06-23

If, in these 20 cities the garbage
was kept clean or free from bottles,
tin cans, crockary and other foreign
matter, the saving to the government
would be many million dollars more.
The responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders of the housewife who is
urged to see that nothing but garbage
goes into the garbage pail. Other
house refuse has a value but its val
ue is lost and the value of the gar
bage is lost if refuse and garbage ara
mixed.
The same is true about garbage that
is to be used as hog feed. The Food
Admini1 tration is also urging that
table and kitchen refuse be fed to hogs
and is driving home to the housekeep-
er the fact that one ton of garbage will
produce 100 pounds of good, firm,
first quality pork.
Figures from 300 cities of over TO-
900 population, which are disposing
of their garbage as hog feed are daily
demonstrating this fact The COM
bined population of these cities is
more than 100000 and the estimated
yield of pork should be 1O0,OOO,OOO
pounds. But because of poor separa-
ton, inedible materials and losses,
the amount of garbage fed pork that is
actually marketed each year is only
50,0O0,O00 pounds which has a value
of over $S,OOO,OOO.
Over $50 American cities of be-
tween 10000 and 100000 population are
utilizing their garbage. Their COM
bined population exceeds 6,OOO,OOO and
the utilization of their garbage as
hog feed would yield 6O,OOO,OO0 pounds.
1t can be plainly seen, therefore,
why the Food Administration is anx-
ious to encourage and help in this
great saving measure. While the
money loss is a serious one the mater
ial loss is more serious. The housewife
can be of very great help in pushing
this movement. Her responsibility
does not end with keeping her gar
bage clean, but it is her duty to see
that the table and kitchen refuse from
her home is used in the mos; advan-
tageous way which conditions in her
locality will permit

OLD PLANT UNDER NEW NAME.
If You Paid Big Price for New Guinea
Butter Bean, You're Swindled.

If you are one of those peopleI who
paid big price to secure, few
seeds of the wonderful newly discov-
cred vegetable, the New Guinea but
ter bean, you were sWindled, says the
truck crops man of the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station.
A number of samples of this new
garden vegetable which was exploit
ed by certain seed houses last spring,
have recently been sent to Amess,
where they have been examined.
The wonderful new crop turns out
to be nothing but the old fashioned
sweet gourd of the south, grown fol.
many years in the Italian gardens OF
southern states as a common yege-
table Seeds may be secured for, a.
few cents, and there is no reason for
paying a high price for them,
This sweet gourd is an edible va
riety Of the gourd family. 1t is quite
long, sometimes two or three feet IN
length, and shaped much like a ball
bat. 1t has much the flavor or the
ordinary summer squash. 1t has a
limited food value and may be
grown in any part of the state. Inc
name bean is misleading, both as to
it's botanical relationship and its
food value.
