Shopping Made Easy.

No longer must the married man
spend frenzied hours trying to match
silks over the counters of the depart

cided that the sufferings of the silk
matching husband are just too horri-

by Standardization. Soon Henry will
be able to order E-6785 and carry it

tainty that there will be no comeback.
The magic mechanism is the colorime-
ter, device which is being perfected
by the United States bureau of stand
ards. The vibrations of light-which
determine color-will be thrown onto
one plane by the colorimeter and split

termined will be used in grading crude

Give Children Toys That Teach.

Toys which develop the imagination
are better than intricate mechanical
toys and deliberately dressed dolls.
Next to ball, the very best plaything
is set of blocks, which is capable Of
being transformed into anything de-
sired, from a train Of cars to pigeon
house. Give a boy of five hammer,
some nails and few pieces of wood
and see what he can make-the re-
suits are often surprising. Children
love to create, and the toy which they
have made themselves will give more
lasting pleasure than the usual elabor-
ate plaything bought ready-made.

Proper Care of Palms.

To make palms thrive in a draw
ing room, sponge the leaves once a
week with lukeWarm water to which
little milk has been added. After
this stand the pot in lukeWarm water
high enough to completely cover it for
two hours. This is the only satisfac-
tory method Of watering; and many
plants are killed every year simply be-
cause people neglect to water them
properly. Pouring a little water on
the plant is of no use, and standing it
in a saucer Of water does very little
good.

ENOUGH for a PARTY.

Gladys was visiting her aunt. One
day, as they were going down town
Gladys noticed three rather untidy
children playing in front Of house
and remarked about it. ''There are
ten children living in that house and
only one mother to care for all Of
them, SO she cannot always keep them
as clean as mothers who have only one
or two to care for" said her aunt.
'Ten?" asked Gladys. 'Ten? Why,
they can have a party without inviting
anyone"

Chamois Skin for Windows.

Two pieces of chamois skin and a
basin or pail of warm water are the
best means for cleaning windows that
one housekeeper knows of, SO she says.
One chamois skin she wrings out Of the
warm water and uses for washing the
windows. With the other she dries
them. She finds the chamois skins far
superior to the ordinary rags and says
that, if they are kept clean, they will
last long time. She uses the same
method and materials for cleaning mir

The value and need of newspaper in the
household was never greater than at the pres Mt

many month to come.
These are world shaking affairs, in which the
United States, willing or unwilling, is compell-
ed TO take part. No intelligent person can ig-

OccupY Your Proper Place.

It's continuous confidence in the
ideal of your own making that compels
success, observes an educator. Some
men never question the possibility of
defeat. They may have set-backs but
not defeats. They are right and know
themselves to be right. The rest of
the world may be ranged against them
for all they care. They have a mis-
sion and nothing short Of it will sat
isfy. That's what you should have.
Get the proper self-estimate and move
up to your place.

TEAMS PRACT|C|NG
FOR TITLE GAMES
Much Rivalry Likely in Series
for District DIAMOND
Championship.
BY Il. C. BYRD.

Practically all the clubs registered
to take part In the baseball series for
the championship OF the District and
surrounding territory are engaging in
practice contests to get in the best
possible shape for the games. 1t Is
conceded that two. possibly three. of
the clubs have very little chance to
win. but of the other seven slated to
play 1t is a toss-up as to what will
happen. Each Of the seven has pretty
near as good a chance as either of the
other six. and some tall scrambling
for first honors is likely to take place.
Greater rivalry than usuAi is likely
to be seen in the games. Between
Marines and Operations that rivalry
already exists and some of the other
clubs have shown q tendency to pair
Off in the same way. However, there
