YOUR CLEANING CLOSET

A closet, cupboard, or wardrobe in
the kitchenis the best place for keep
ing the cleaning utensils. "A backstair
closet is also good place. One end
of a back porch may be inclosed and
used for such purpose. The closet
should have plenty of hooks and racks
for utensils and a shelf for cleaning
materials.
The housekeeper should choose
utensils according to her own needs
and according to the requirements of
her house. Those suggested below are
inexpensive and will help to tighten
the work of cleaning:
Bucket with wringer for hopping.
4 piece of inch board 5 inches
square with rollers makes a conven-
lent platform on which to set the mon
bucket, and permits it to be moved
easily without lifting.
Wall mop made by tying a bag made
of wool or cotton cloth over an ordin-
airy broom.
A broom, with hook screwed in the
end of the handle by which it can be-
hung up. :.
A long handled dustpan.
several brushes IOr cleaning pur-
poses.
Cheesecloth, worn silk, and flannel
cite for busters.
busters may be made by dipping
pieces of cheesecloth in two quarts of
warm water to which one-half cup of
Kerosene has been added. These
cloths should be kept away from the
stove or lighted lamp, as they are in
fammable.
A blackboard eraser covered with
flannelette for stove polishing.
An oiled floor mop to use on oiled
or polished floors. Several makes
can be found on the market, or one
may be made of old stockings or any
discarded wooden or flannelette ma
terial. The material is cut into 1-inch
strips and sewed across the middle to
a foundation of heavy cloth. This is
fastened to an old broom handle or
used in clamp mop handle. The
mop is dipped into solution made
of onehalf cup melted paraffin and
one cup. kerosene and allowed to
dry. To keep it moist it is rolled
tight and kept in a paper bag, c.way
from stove or lamp.
A carpet sweeper or vacuum
cleaner should be used in the daily
cleaning of the carpets and rugs. ? A
vacuum cleaner operated by hand or
electric power removes practically
+ all the; dust and+dirt from carpets and
rugs in dustless manner. =

tional war labor board will award De-
troit and Cleveland car men a mini
mum wage Of so cents an hour, it was
indicated here Saturday.
The Detroit maximum scale now

and Detroit cases is expected to es-
tablish a precedent in the settlement
of wage controversies of carmen.
The award will be formally an

WILL EDUCATE ! : : { (.
F|CHT|NCMEN
WOUNDED IN WAR

c. A. Prosser, director of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton, has issued the following state
ment in regard to the rehabilitation
of our soldiers who are wounded in
the war:
Congress, without dissenting vote,
has delegated to the Federal Board
for Vocational Education the great
task of re-educating and rehabilftat-
ing for civil life and usefulness, such
of our wounded soldiers and sailors
as may be proper subjects.
available statistics show the num-
Der to average about 10000 per
million men per annum. In other
words, on the present army and navy
strength together with auxiliaries, we
are certain Of almost $4,000 men to
be subjects%for re-education this year.
AS the: strength grows the number
of men grows. With the more
Misunderstanding of the fighting in
open warfare instead of trench STALE
mate, the average may rum to higher
figures.
Many Are Restored.
"Experienee of ,ouI,allies shows that
over 80 per cent of permanently dis
abled men can be re-educated for
useful, self-sustaining, wage earning
employment. Many of them will be
made into expert artisans, mechanics
and semi-prOfessiOn, and will be a
most valuable asset to the country in
carrying on the work back of the
lines, releasing able-bodied men for
the front; and also of great use to
the country in the civil establishments
after the war when the depleted ranks
of skilled men will not be able to
supply the demand.
Lends encouragement.
1.-The work is of intense interest to
every man in the ranks: every man
subject to draft, and the families and
rela tives of these men, and to Amer
leans generally. TO know that even
though broken and shattered in the
fighting, there does not exist a future
of inadequately pensioned, idle days.,
or an occupation that is sentiment
delaney, but that the disable man
may be fitted for useful, respectable
wage-earning occupation, and in
many instances will make more than
he ever made before he was hurt,
should add strength to their arms
and resolution to their course. 1t
should comfort them and their
families, and make those who are not
privileged to bear arms feel that our
country is acting with high justice
toward the men who are bearing the
brunt.
1--WE are not. preparing any hand
outs nor conducting propaga nda,
but we do want the people to know
what is going to be done for the
wounded, so as to educate public SEN
timent toward requiring these men to
take the training for their. own sake.
1t is entirely voluntary on the part of
the wounded man whether he takes it
or not. 1t is there for him, to take
or leave, just as he wishes. But a
public sentiment understanding the
opportunity, will help reduce the
number of crippled and shattered in
competents after the war;

DEMAND PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP OF
Wire SYSTEMS
Arbitrary Attitude Of Western
Union ArouSeS Labor.
Only One Solution.

CHICAGO, July ia concerted
drive for the immediate public own
ership of the telegraph and telephone
systems Of the entire country is "be-'
ing made by the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' union, the American Fedora
tion Of Labor and the Public Owner
ship league of America. It has been
urged that the psychological moment
has arrived for the government to
take over these utilities: in fact, that
there is nothing now that the govern
ment can do but to act at once in this
direction.
1t is pointed out 10y those who are
handling the situation that the i'm
mediate taking over Of the lines is alb
solutely necessary now for military
reasons. The Signal corps are in i'm
mediate need Of men and material for
electrical service in the conduct of the
war. Under present conditions, with
number of competing wire compan-
les and repeated Implications in serv-
ice and equipment, it is impossible to
release ether the men or the material.
SUIT if the government should take over
both the telephone and telegraph lines,
it could combine both services, using
the copper wires, the operators and
the equipment of the telephone system
for the telegraph service.
Would Release 10000 Workers.
Thus by taking over all the electric
al means of communication, as is be-
ing urged, it is estimated that 10000
skilled telegraph operators and tele-
phone operators could be at once re-
leased for the service of the govern
ment in the conduct of the war, be-
sides much electrical equipment and
material very much needed.
The present crisis has arisen over
the labor situation. The companies
have locked out over 1000 of cir
employees and aggressions continue.
The workers have appealed to the gov
eminent at Washington and followed
, Loyalty and faithfully every princi-
. pie and demand laid down by the War
Labor board appoin;ec. by President
Wilson. The Postal Union, the Asso-
ciated Press and other smaller or
carnations using the wires. it seems
- nave agreed TO the COHulIlOIS ldAu
down by the National War Labor
board but the Western Union, which
, controls four-fifths of the telegraph
service. stubbornly. refuses to do so.
Must Take Over All Lines.
Obviously this trouble must be ad-
justed And there seems to be but one
way that it can be DONE. and that is
by the immediate taking over by the
government of the entire wire sys-
TENS of the nation. 1t would be
" serious mistake for the government
to take over only the telegraph lines.
That might result in the unloading up
on the government a wire system that
is really becoming obsolete. without
giving it the advantages which would
make it possible to release the men
and material and otherwise make the
plan success.
So organized labor. farmer and
public ownership forces are urging
and demanding the public ownership
of the entire wire systems Of the coun-

ions may be eliminated, the wire sys-

CANNING SAUSAGE

Canning sausage in glass Mason
jars is much better than the old
method of packing in lard.
Cut the sausage in pieces, then
fry and pack in glass jars. Over
each jar pour one-half cupful of fry
ings or lard. Seal securely and turn
cans upside down until cold. This
allows the lard to run to the top Of
the jar and harden.
Then wrap the jars in paper. Sau-
sage kept this way is fine and will
keep year. 1t is also an economy
in the amount of lard used.

Arriving at Honolulu after a

Arriving at Honolulu after a
stormy passage from Yokohama,
and after discharging some of our
cargo of merchandise, we began
loading raw sugar for San Fran
cisco. The sugar is loaded in sacks
containing about 200 pounds to the
sack, which is conveyed by means
of giant electric conveyer-belts
from the warehouse to a platform
on deck, where they are placed in
a large net and lowered into the
ships hold by a huge steam der
rick.
Our stay at Honolulu was only
aoout twenty-four hours, and our
crew had but little time on shore
leave. However, some of US did
manage to get away for a few
hours viewing many sights that
were to be seen, such as the ma
tives and their costumes; especially
along the bathing beach, where
the natives take part in their many
water sports, were the sights in
teresting. These people seem to
be at home in the water, quite as
we'll as ON the land. Many of the
small children would dive from the
ships rail into the sea for coins
thrown in by the passengers.
There was great rejoicing among
The passengers when the ships
whistle was heard sounding the
warning to get ready for sea,
knowing they would soon be in
dear old America and with their
friends and loved ones. Many of
the passengers came aboard
crowned by flower girls with
wreaths of roses, chrysanthemums,
orchids, and many other beautiful
flowers.
The trip from Honolulu to San
Francisco might we'll be called the
"trip of anxiety" because there
was scarcely an hour passed during
the days we we're at sea but some
one would ask the persistent ques-
ton: 'How far are we from
FriscO?"
