Dear Social Corner Sisters: I will tell you how to make robe for a baby's carriage. Take one yard of pique, then sew a strip nine inches in length on the top to turn over-bind the whole robe in washable satin rib bon. Sew lace around the part you turn over, and place large bow in the middle of that piece. This makes a very pretty and serviceable cover.
 Pillow Slip and Pillow-Cut- pillow IA inches square and make the cover of Fruit of the Loom. Fill with geese feathers, then sew up Make cover II inches square, sew lace to match the cover, and then put bow on each corner of the pillow.

MANDY VISITED THE RoYcRoFT- FRS,

Social Corner Sisters Many months have come and gone since last wrote for The Corner: but reading a para graph in Saturdays Bulletin by The Man Who Talks l thought must say just word or two about the Roycroft- CTS. On my recent visit to Detroit l stopped for a couple of days at Buffalo and went by auto to East Aurora to their beautiful plant It is simply grand to walk thro8gh with a guide who starts every twenty minutes from the main hall and wander around through those beautiful, buildings and see the men working at different things. Their workshops are most in- teresting and their inn is a dream
 The Roycrofters is a corporation the shares of which are held by their own workmen and anyone leaving must sell his shares back again into the cor poration, as the shop is called, as they are all part of the whole.
 In London about 1850 there were two brothers who owned a shop and diS beautiful books. there by the name oi Reycrofters. They chose this name ir our country because the word has g special significance. meaning kings

Dear Social Corner Sisters: A man
 was troubled with fieas around his
 buildings and tried many different
 things with only partial success. A
 young man from Florida came to work for him and knowing the south was
 we'll infested with fieas asked him
 what would be the best remedy and he said ir-slaked lime was tEe best of anything that had been tried. The lime was sprinkled liberally around
 and the fleas all disappeared.
 Why wouldn't it drive away ants? A poison syrup is made from sugar 9 cup full and add a small pinch oi sodium of arsenate in water and stiI ! into it. Pour a little of the syrup on bit of sponge or rag and drop in to tin cans and place where the ants are the most troublesome.

HENRY FORD CITES HISTORY

It Is net long since Henry Ford, who has become con.
spieuous in a number Of ways. expressed, contempt Tor
history. He said he could see no use in studying the sub
5eet, as we are interested in. what II being done now ana
what is to be done in the future, rather than in what PEG.
pie did in the distant past. =
Mr.. Ford has changed his mind-a little. History is
not entirsly the useless thiAs that no thought it was. In
a statement celebrating his e~onyiction that the war will
be ven by the side that il abis to make ana use tools to
the best advantage. He refers to tho changes which have
been brought about by the invention Of, Improved april
ances for the performance OF mechanical work. He refers,
for instance. to the influence on agriculture Of the In
of harvesting machinery. He Describes the
manner in which men harvested grain with the sickle and
the cradle, the manner in which the work is done now
by harvesting machines, and points out how this change
has 1nA4s pessible the Cropping Of far greater areas than
would have been possible under old conditions. Naturally.
his Thoughts turn to the influence Of engine DEVELOPMENT.
a subject in which he is thoroughly at home. In other
words, by the study of history he has learned what has
been done in the past. what results have grown out Of
certain changes, and on the basis Of what Ne has 1sarned
OF the past he has reached certain conclusions u to what
be expected from a certain line Of development in
the utlae @
So far, 50 good. Perhaps MI. Ford does not realize
that he has been studying history. And he consdsrs its
only alops certain lines with which his bust
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-05-04

aeas has made him familiar, But had ne pursued his re-
searches just a little further he would have found that in
connection with >the same subjects to which he calls at
tentien there are some very interesting and important
facts which have 4 bearing on the social and economic life
Of the present as we'll as on is immediate influence on
mechanical production.
He would have found, for instance, that the introduc-
ton Of labor saving machinery does not deprive men OF
work. as at one time it was supposed that it would. HI
would have learned that the English weavers rioted when
steam looms were first introduced into Lancashire, and
broke up the offensive machines which were to take the
bread out Of their mouths. He would have learned Of
similar riata among harvest laborers when the first har-
vasters were put into the field. And he would have learn
ed still further that these machines, instead Of diminish
Ing the demand for labor, increased it. ~
Still further, he weuld have learned something of
the manner in which the changed industrial conditions
brought about changes in the social conditions of the
people. how the factory system became possible, and how
this, stlHulated the growth Of cities. He would have learn
cd how out OF these conditions there grew peculiar politi-
cal problems. And. before he had finished he would
have found himself digging among the ruins Of Nineveh
and Babylon for Information, not to copy what the people
Of those cities did. but in order that he might learn as
broadly as possible how human beings reacted to certain
conditions. and on the basis of that knowledge he would
be able to estimate what results might be expected from
the application Of given principles today.
