Map Tracings
Make Dressings

Los Angeles, May 4.-old map trac-
ings are ending their career in that
capacity here and are entering a new
lease Of life as surgical dressings
Somebody discovered. a few days ago
that there was a scarcity Of linen
gauze, and happened to mention the
fact to Thomas w. BuIpin, chief en-
gineer Of the Los Angeles railways
Mr.. Bulpin and his deputies checked
over the tracings in their office, and
found more than sixty pounds of trac-
ings on linen, which latter when
washed to eliminate starch and ink
yielded 64S square yards OF the finest
linen. .,r
All that Is necessary. the Red Cross
here said, to make this linen At for
use, is to wash and sterilize 1t, and no
finer grade exists than that used as
a foundation for such tracings. -

Stockholm. May a. Thornwell
Haynes, American consul at Helsing-
fors, Finland, in an extensive report
to the American legation here, gives
more favorable picture of condi-

foreigners in Finland have to deal
only with the Finnish government
and that Germany respects all ar
rangements made by the Finnish
government"
M. Gripesberg, the Finnish minis
ter at Stockholm, told the. Associat-
Cd Press today there was no truth in
the report that applications for pass
ports by persons intending to 60 to
Finland must be approved by the
Germans. The minister said appli-
cations for permission to visit Fin

The very newest coats for sports
and country wear are made without
sleeves. They are made from every
kind of material. velvet, silk. satin,
wooden fabrics and even sheer geor-
gette. The one pictured is of wool jer--
sey in military green. It is fashioned
very much like a tailored coat with
its neat lapels, its snug back and belt
of self material. The small buttons
used to trim the back and the plated
pockets make 1t a little less severe
than strictly tailored model.
Although the sleeveless coat Is new
this season 1t is already a rival of the
sweater which has been popular for or
so many summers. 1t is developed in
the same brilliant colors as the sweat
er coat has been and appears also In
black, navy blue and dark brown
Some of the most attractive coats
seen. in the shops are, rich dark vel
trasting color. Another style which
will appeal to the younger girls Is
made Of aabutai silk In blazer stripes.
It is made with a graceful long roll
collar and a wide belt and comes in
red and white, Belgian blue and white,
and Kelly and white.

Reconciliation.

In most families and among friends
differences sometimes arise that are
decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all
cases these differences spring from
Misunderstanding. A time comes
when explanations, apologies and rea-
sons are In order, and a reconciliation
takes place. This is a thing much to
be desired, and when it comes wash
the slate clean. Leave no fragments,
no leftovers, to be brought up at an
other time Wash the slate clean as
you would wipe out a faulty example.
Cleanse the heart of the last drop Of
bitterness or resentment. Let love and
good will prevail. A genial spirit brings
more real happiness than a manner so
reserved as to raise doubt Of the pleas
ure of meeting, doubt that reconcilia-
ton was mutual So forgive as to for
get 1t has been done and can be done.
Such forgiveness wins good will and
cements friendships that fill life with
Joy. Hold yourself ready to wash the
slate clean"-Milwaukee Journal.

Capitals We Have Had.

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had five capitals.
but the statement Is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itals-New York, Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption OF the constitution no
place was legally constituted capital
In loose and unofficial sense 1t is pos
sible to describe as a capital any city
which was the seat Of government.
Taking the sessions Of the Continental
congress as establishing seat Of-gov-
eminent in the Revolution and the
confederation, the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, York,
Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton and
New York. The articles Of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia, and the federal convention
charged to prepare constitution con-
vened at the same place.
