WAKING UP.

1T is not to be denied" admits
the German naval critic. Captain
Persius, in the Berliner Tageblatt
that our enemies are both carry
ing on the war and living, and that
it will be possible for them to de-
fend themselves against tonnage
needs for long time at any rate
From the beginning of the U-boat
war it was a mistake, often COM
mltted among us, to underestimate
the resources OF our enemies"
1t was, indeed, and partial recog-
nition of that fact is one of the most
hopeful signs in Germany today
The way we have fed France and
England in recent months and ship
ped troops across in recent weeks is
sufficient proof even to Prussian,
OF our ability to defend ourselves
against tonnage needs"
And what will the Germans say
when they hear that splash of 90
new ships hitting the water on July
with more than 100000 Ameri-
can fighters already ferried across ?

In the exciting gubernatorial con-
test in New York between Gov

declared that he is neutral. 1t never

failed to take sides.
A total OF 279,56 newly enfran-
chised women living in Greater New
York have qualified to vote at the
November election. AS result of
this New York, which in 1916 cast
100000 votes less than Chicago, ow-
ing to the earlier cnfranchisement
OF women in Illinois, has recovered
her former supremacy.
1t can be set down as fact that

that the l9ol6 platform favored a

RAG RUGS CHARMING
FOR THE COZY HOME
And Any One Can Make
Them-Just a Stout Needle,
Strong Thread and Rags
, Needed

We have grown to think of rag mats
as homely creations, suitable for kitchen
or farmhouse use only. We do not realize
that they have developed into artistic
products Of bright coloring and decora-
tive designs, charming for any room OF
the house.
Their durability. inexpensiveness and
bright design and coloring have brought
rag rugs rapidly into favor, until at the
present time we find them used not only
in charming suburban homes, but in the
chambers of the city dwellers. Improve

inch wide are all that are needed. The
cloth may be discarded garments

The strips should be cut the same size,

it does not hoop in the making. Con-

choosing. Occasionally a carpet center
is allowable, but this is not 30 desirable

upon the place the rug Is to occupy and
may be either square, round or oval.
