 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN TRANCE. May (By the Associated Press) Flight Captain James Nor man Hall, author and one of the best known aviators in the American or allied armies, is missing after thrill ing battle ten miles inside Germany opposite the Foul sector.
 The fight was between three Ameri- can planes and four German machines, which apparently belonged to the Ely ing Circus
 Two German machines also went to earth during the battle in a crippled condition.
 Captain Halls home is Colfax, Ia.
 German machines were out in force, apparently huntoing for the Americans all day. despite bad weather. The Americans answered alarms through out the day just as the boche hoped they would
 Plane Is RddIed
 Once a lieutenant answered an alarm for enc enemy machine which was reported to be frying low When he approached the enemy, five addi- tiOnal German machines which had been sitting" up obive, dropped down from the clouds and attacked the American plane which was driven by Lieutenant Cunningham, who despite odds put up a desperate fight. One of the German machines ran home after emptying it's machine gun. The Amer ican kept up the fight and then the machine gun on the airplane piloted by Lieutenant Cunningham jammed ad he was forced to withdraw. The Ger mans did not follow him but took to flight.
 Cunningham returned with ten bull let holes in his plane.
 Later in the day, in response to an alarm that thre German machines wer travelling down the line about a lzilometar inside the American front, three Americans went out. They wers out to open the attack when four ad- ditional German planes with decora- tions indicating they belonged to Flying Circus" appeared from the eGrman side of the line.
 By noon there had been several ex- ampIes of this new German trick, and Americans answering later alarms went out in twice the number of Ger man machines reported.
 Hall Real Hero
 James Norman Hall joined the Brit ish army in London in August, 1914. After a year and a half in the service. he obtained his discharge and re- turned to the United States on pri- vate business. As soon as possible he returned to France and there en- listed in the Lafayette Escadrille. It was shortly after this that his book, 'itchener's Mob.' was publish ed. On February s, 1918. he was transferred to the American army from the escadrille and on March ? brought down two German airplanes in a fight lasting only seven minutes. Mon March 13 he was awarded the Distinguished Service cross of the United States army and same day that this signal honor was reported there came another dispatch telling of his destroying one German airplane and forcing two others to land.
 The last known exploit in which he figured occurred on May 2 when, with Eddie Rickenbacher, he brought down two German machines.

 The proclamation follows:
 Proclamation.
 ''Inasmuch as the war fund of 1917, so generously contributed by the American people to the American Red Cross for the administration oe relief at home and abroad, has been rrac- tically exhausted by appropriation for the welfare of men in our military and naval forces and for those dependent upon them. and for the yet more ure- ent necessities of our allies, military and civilian who have long borne the brunt of war:
 Praices Red Cross
 And. inasmuch as the American Red Cross has been recognized by law and international convention as the public instrumentality for war relief.
 And. inasmuch as the year of our own participation in the war has brought unprecedented demands upon the patriotism and liberality of our people and made evident the necessity of concentrating the work or relief in one main organization which can respond effectively and universally to the needs of humanity under stress of war:
 And. inasmuch as the duration If the war and the closer and closer cooperation of the American Red Cross with our own army and navy, with the governments of our allies, and with foreign relief organizations, have resulted in the discovery of new opportunities of helpfulness under con ditions which translate opportunity into duty:
 And, inasmuch as the American Red Cross war council and its com missioners in Europe have faithfully and economically administered the peoples trust:
 Money To Aid Sammies
 Now. therefore, by virtue of my authority as president of the United States and president of the Red Cross, I. Woodrow Wilson, do hereby pro claim the week beginning May 20, 1918, as Red Cross Week during which the people of the United States will be called upon again to give gen erously to the continuation of the i'm portant work of relieving distress, re- storing the waste of war, and assist ing in maintaining the morale of our own troops and the troops and peoples Of our allies by this manifestation of effort and sacrifice on the part of those who. though not privileged to bear arms, are of one spirit. purpose, and determination with our warriors.
 -In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done in the District of Columbia this 4th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen. and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-secOnd.

BALsAM FlR's PET PIG.

Dear Social Corner Friends: Just few lines this beautiful morning. I am such lover of nature nothing is quite so beautiful in my estimation. The lovely green color of both leaves and grass, the sweet songs of the birds, of which we have more than usual this year. Wrens have built in a house we have away up in the top of an ap- pie tree. Their sweet song ever re- minds us how thankful we should be for all the goodness our Heavenly Father bestows upon us.
 The lake is some times all .white caps, and then again so calm and beautiful that my boat seems to stand still while I read a book or paper, away out far from skSre I often wish that others could enjoy once in while what have privilege of en- toying all the time. This is very healthy place.
 I wonder if any of our farmer friends and writers ever ha a pet pig, except myself? We'll, I am going to make you laugh. and some may frown. Surely he runs at will about the prem ises and loves to have his face washed and wiped. Having a chance to lay around on grass, he never gets dirty like those confined in a pen. When go out and sit on the stoop he usual ly lays down on the rug or nearby me He loves to lay his head on a pillow while he is stretched full length on a rug nd is quite partial to a soft bed His name is Sweet Heart, nd he knows his name, too.
 Yesterday I went down street. When I drove into the yard. on my return be was so pleased he capered and squealed, and rubbed up against me I will say, Cant you kiss me- and he will put his nose against my cheek Who can beat it?
 Regards to all.

TO DO UP SILKS, RIBBONS AND
 WoOLENS.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These directions may be help:
 To Iron Silks: Lift silk from the rinsing water, shake and snap them to remove as much water as possible without squeezing or wringing, and smooth them out on pieces of old cot ton cloth or towels. Roll them I'D in these and iron as soon as possible without drying. Smooth pieces out while wet on the ironing board, lay over them a piece of thin white muslin and iron on the wrong side with a moderate iron to prevent shutting. Now remove the cloth. iron perfectly dry on the wrong side and smooth slightly, if desired, on the face with warm, not hot, iron. The whole process of washing and ironing should be done as quickly as possible after the silk is wet, as the colors may be affected by lying in that condition.
 To Iron CoIored Silks; Like other eolored goods, silk should not be al- lowed to dry, but should be ironed while still damp with a warm, not hot iron. Place between two cloths and iron on the wrong side.
 To Do Up Ribbons: Wash same as other colored silks, and if stiffness is required rinse in weak soapsudS con taining small amount of gum arabic Now roll the ribbon about a glass bot tie, or wind about a small rolling pin smoothing carefully, and dry in the shade. GOT smooth them out, face down, upon a piece of vanished wood When dry, they will require no iron. ing.)
 To Remove Wrinkles from silk:
Norwich bulletin., 1918-05-25

Wrinkled or creased ribbons and silks may be restored by laying them on U smooth surface and sponging them evenly with sponge inoistened in a weak solution of gum arabic. Smooth out while wet on a polished fiat sur face of wood, or roll about rolling pin and dry in the shade. Iron be- tween two pieces of cloth. pressing or the wrong side with warm. not hot, iron.
 To Store Away Silks: Do not wrap silks in white paper. The chloride of lime used to bleach the paper will att
 tack the colors of the silk. To Iron Flannel and Wcolen Goods;
 Iron fiannels and woolens the same day they are washed. if possible. and before they become quite dry. Take from the line when still damp. roll up
 in dry cloth. and press on the wrong lside with an iron not too hot. If they become dry they should be dampened slightly by rolling upon a damp cloth to await their turn. M .s To Iron Blankets: Iron blankets be-
 fore they are quite dry, and air thor I oughly before storing away.

THE SOCIAL CORNERS
 ANNUAL PICNIC

Dear Social Corner Friends: A long time since I've written, is it not? I have been a very busy woman and now l have little girl eleven months old that takes up a lot of my time. But as the time is fast ap- proaching for my annual picnic thought 1 would write and tell the date
 1 thank Interested Reader for my lovely calender and the Sisters one and all who sent me post cards on my birthday, May 22.
 To the Sisters in bereavement I serN1 my sympathy; and extend a cordial invitation to them to attend the pic nlc. For all l know now I will have the annual picnic on Wednesday, June 5th. IL will be at my home. 1 have moved and am now living in a large house with beautiful large lawn that will accommodate the whole Corner. So 10 this home 1 invite you on this date.
 l thought once 1 would have it basket lunch, but have decided to have 1t the old way. We have so much room 10 work in. So every one who comes please bring their own plate, cup. knife, fork and spoon. My two daughters are here to help me, and we can have a great time
 i've on the trolley line to South Coventry and the conductor will tell you where to get off. The car stops at my door.
 will try to make it just as pIeas- ant for you as though it was up to the lake. There is a large pond at the back of our house and it makes a nice view from the yard.
 l thought at one time I could not have the annual picnic tthis year as there :S so much suffering. So many sad hearts, and our boys fighting for our country; in allI thought it was not right. But now I am going to have this go under the Red Cross this way: 1 am going to ask all who will, to bring ten cents to give to the Red Cross. l will then write up a piece or have some one else do it for me and have it put in different papers with the amount given and in that way we will be doing something for our country and helping to win the war. Bring food, as usual and don't for get your dishes. Come early and stay late" as the old fellow said. Let us ] try to make this picnic one long to be 1 remembered.
 | Come one, come all. Bring food the same as you always have done and dishes, too will have hot coffee
 Don't forget the date. June 5th | Wednesday.

members of the Community Chorus added to the occasion by singing Ma tional hymns as they passed on. The French soldiers and sailors as ever received tremendous applause.
 The workers in the Wool Division carried knitted socks spread over a wooden frams others held in their outstretched hands skeins of wool, while some knitted and when the pa rade halted for moment piled their needles vigorously.
 There were many beautiful floats showing the work of the Red Cross in cutting and making bandages, and thirty or more anrbulances with driv- CTS which will be used later on the battle fields of France, were in line.
 Every form of amusement, shop, ho- tel or business organization will be en- listed this week in subscriptions for the Red Cross fund, and will be brought before every individual in this city. Some of the large department stores have given over their display windows to fine exhibition of Red Cross flags and posters.
 Everyone will be asked to help in the Red Cross Drive, because it is un- derstood that just as long as the war lasts the work of the Red Cross will be absolutely indispensable.

WINDOW SHADES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: A double set of window sllades--an inner dark shade to harInonize with the color scheme of the room, al q an outer white shade-ares desiraA lie, but both are not necessary. It saves carpets and other things from fading to ex- clude the sunshine when a room is not in use, and also assists in keep. ing sunny rooms cool in summer. Hence, a dark or tan shade is to be preferred, unless the house is fitted with blinds. In that case only the white shade is necessary.
 To Remove Window Shades: Trim off the soiled or worn part at the bot tom, making a new hem, and put back the stick. To do this lay it on an iron ing board and press down the curled hem.
 To Hang Window Shades: To ad- just the spring on new window shades, roll them tight, fasten them into the sockets, roll them up again by hand, spring is as strong as desired.
 To Prevent Blowing Shades: To pre- vent the window shades from being drawn out at the top of the window, or blowing back and forth when the upper sash is lowered for ventilation, attach the cord from the bottom of the shade to the back of chair, and move it a sufficient distance from the win dow 70 give free circulation of air underneath it.
 Suhs.iute For Window Shades: To eeenofrfize on window shades, the up- per rooms of a house may be fitted with shades of white cotton, having the selvage on one side and a very fine hem on the other. By the addition Of a lit- tie glue, size or gum arabic to the starch, they can be made very eaua to ordinary shades of Holland linen They can, of course, readily be laund- cred when soiled-
