over fabrics. Many are made over
old straw hats, covered with velvet
or silk. Shapes have been changed
and expensive beaver or felt hats of
ancient patterns modcrnized and
brought up to the very last minute.
An accurate account of cost has
been kept, and this and style, with
neatness of workmanship are the
main points on which the girls were
graded. There were seven points,
and the highest mark in each of
them was A. Ten girls received an
A in every point, Iva Christensen,
Mary Johnson, Catherine Leary,
Edythe Burghardt, Louise McEwan,

else they happen to have on hand.

inery class. 1t was an exception
ally good year to start, as everyone
was seeking new methods OF con-
servation, but plans are to continue
the class in future years.

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
A Well Known Actress Tells How to
Darken Gray Hair With Simple
Home Made Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the we'll known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theatre in
st. Louis, Mo-, made the following
statement about gray hair and how
to darken it:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray streaked or
faded hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To half pint Of water add
l ounce of bay rum. a small box of
Barbo Compound, and u ounce of
glycerlne. These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very
little cost, or any druggist can put
it up for you. Apply to the hair
twice week until the desired shade
is obtained. This will make gray
haired person look 20 years young
er. This is not a dye, it does not
color the most delicate scalp, is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub
off.-Ady.

Is. This Your Waterloo.

Why tomato soup curdles, how to
prepare it so as to avoid this:
The first thing to be sure of in
making a good soup is to remember
that when planning to use milk or
cream in the soup first neutralize the
tomatoes by adding soda. The soda
added to the acid causes efferves-
cence. This change is similar to that
which takes place when combining
soda with sour milk.
If it is desired to make thick
ened cream of tomato soup, heat to-
matoes, using either whole or
canned. Rub through a sieve, put
back on stove, add soda and sweet
ening, using about one-half tea
spoon soda to one quart of tomatoes.
When the effervescing or foaming
stops the liquid is neutral and will
not curdle when the milk or cream
is added. Thicker as desired.

Indebtedness Certificates
For 1919 Tax PAYMENTS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-To permit
business interests to provide in ad-
vance for income and profits taxes due
next year under the revenue bill now
being framed, Secretary McAdoo to-
night announced that an indefinite
amount Of certificates of indebted edness
bearing per cent interest and accent
able in payment of taxes in 1919, would
be issued Immediately.
These certificates, similar in terms to
those foated in anticipation of tax COL
lections earlier this year, are to take
the place of the usual biweekly issue
of loan certificates. announcement Of
which was due to-day.
In effect, the offering Of tax ccrtif,-
Gates at this time affords means Of
advance instalment payments on next
years taxes.
The omission Of the usual issue of
loan certificates makes it seem nrob-
able that only about $4,000 900 900 Of
these certificates will be issued IN
preparation for the fourth Lihertv
Loan. and that the amount Of tho loan
will not be much more than that.

Executive Order Ends Ease
With Which Spies Left
and Entered Country
Passports Required
Strict Rules To Be Enforced
Under New Law; Fay
Case Caused Action

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Fre dom
Of departure from this country Of
aliens, by means of which a number
of dangerous enemy agents have been
able to escape from the authorities
since the United States entered the
war. will not be permitted after Sep
tember is under a proclamation signed
by President Wilson and an executive
order, both Of which were made public
tonight by the State Department.
The proclamation and executive
order put into effect the alien control
law passed by Congress in May. Under
the executive order aliens after Sep
tember Is Will be required to obtain
permits before leaving the United
States, and additional restrictions will
be placed on the entry of aliens into
this country.
Attempts to evade the draft, through
leaving the country, which officials be-
lieve will increase with passage of the
bill extending the draft ages, will be
rendered less easy of mplishment
by the new restrictions.
Heretofore, American citizens have
been required to make applications for
passports in order to go abroad and to
explain to the satisfaction of the De-
partment Of State the necessity of their
trips, while aliens have been permitted
to depart freely, without making appli-
cations for or explaining their trips"
said an explanatory statement issued by
the State Department. "The new law
now places aliens in this respect on q
basis similar to that of citizens.
at is believed that many aliens have
been leaving the United States as Ger
man agents carrying information
abroad for the use Of the enemy. The
new law is designed to prevent the
departure of all such enemies Of the
United States. There have been numer-
Gus instances of the operations of such
German paid agents and spies who
have left the country because there
was no law to prevent their departure" !"
In this connection the State Depart
ment statement pointed out the
freedom with which such persons as

plots; Franz Won Rintelen, and Fay's

Coal Miners to Ask
Flat Wage Increase
And End of Bonuses

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16-Labor
conditions in the coal mining in
dustry, for which the only logical So
luton is a substantial fiat wage in
crease to be applied to all classifica-
tions of mine labor, will be discussed
at a conference of district presidents
of the United Mine Workers to be held
in Washington on August %. according
to an announcement made here to- ght
by Frank Hayes, president of the
United Mine Workers of America.
In announcing the conference Pres-
dent Hayes said it had been called "to
avert, if possible, rapidly developing
labor condition within the coal indus
try which, if permitted to go un-
checked, would undermine coal pro-
duction plans"
The wage increase "can be met and
applied by the coal operators without
the necessity of an increase in the SELL
ing price of coal to the consuming pub
lic." asserted the miners official, who
added that the paying of bonuses by
many mine owners now "is indisputable le
evidence that the industry is able to
bear an advance in wages"
The labor condition in brief has
been caused, President Hayes says, by
many mine owners paying bonuses in
excess Of the wage scale in order to
obtain and keep miners IN their mines.

both were experienced airmen.

$2.46 Wheat Price
For Next Year Urged

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Arri-
cultural Advisory Committee has Rec
commended to the President that the
government wheat guarantee to the
farmer be increased on the 1919 crnn
to s2.46, an advance of about twenty
cents'a a bushcl. This advance will be
necessary, the committee states. TO
stimulate maximum production.
IL is not known. what view the Presi-
dent will take of the proposal. but it
can be safely predicted that both the
food stration and the Depart
ment of Agriculture will oppose the
increase. No action on the matter is
iikeiy until Food Administrator Hoover
returns from Europe
In recommending the advance, the
Agricultural Advisory Committee devi-
ated from its position of a few months
ago, when, despite the agitation in Con-
grcss for $3.50 wheat. the committee
maintained that the present price was
adequate.
