MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT
Trouble Is, According to Writer, That
the Stocking Of the Fires 10
Neglected.

This melting pot Of ours has been
asked to melt up more different kinds
of stuff than the department Of min
eralogy ever heard of. It's got more
things in it than New England boiled
dinner, or rummage sale, Porter EN-
erson Browne writes in McClure's.
And to have gotten all these ingredi.
ents properly melted would have meant
that every second man was a stoker
and every first a coal miner.
But instead of that, every second
man has been a motorcar manufacture
er and every first an open market.
And the result has been that go far
from melting these different ingredi-
ents, we haven't done anything with
them at all. They have just been
dumped in and lain there, here a pile
of ArmenianS, there a bunch Of Ger
mans, over yonder a pile of Jews, and
beyond that a chunk of Chinese. And
New York, which has been our biggest
receiving station, has come to take on
the appearance of one of those dishes
of horS dOeuvres that you strike in
Italian estaurants-sardines in one
compartment, olives in another, sau-
sage in a third, anchovies in a fourth,
and so on, all separate, distinctive and
Individual
And as the United States comprises
4S states, so does each of our states
comprise 4S or more cities, and each
of our cities 48 different colonies of I'M
mixed and often unmixable national
tiles.

and very soon the guide made a sign,
and whispered to the general to leave
the duck boards and come close in to

he bent low to keep his head from
showing above the hedge.
Now and again the general whisper

ed in reply. The former began to feel
a pain in the back through so long
maintaining a bent position.
How far away is the nearest

Old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
a medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has SO large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it ful6ls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
SwampRoot by Parcel Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

SLOGANS That Have Counted.

One of the big factors in arousing
the people of the United States to the
great patriotic service they could per-
form through war gardening was
through the slogans sounded from
time to time, writes Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the National War
Garden commission, In an article in
the Garden Magazine.
Every garden munition plant"
is the slogan on the design drawn by
James Montgomery Flagg. Can vege-
tables and fruit and can the kaiser,
too" is the slogan of another striking
poster.
Grow food F. o. B. the kitchen
door," is one of the forceful slogans
coined and used by the commission.
'Hohenrakes versus Hohenzollerns'
is another of the phrases which has
hit the reader between the eyes.
sect into the garden trenches -
1.-The hoe is the machine gun of the
garden" Food must follow the flag"
are slogans that have done their bit.
keep the home soil turning" is a
clever paraphrase of the title of a
famous song. Other successful
phrases used by the commission are
Speed up and spade up" "Tune up
the spading fork"

Companions on Service FLAG.

A thirteen-star service flag has just
been raised in Baltimore. 1t repre-
sents thirteen inseparable companions
One star is golden and honOrs the
memory of Louis Cohen, bOatswains
mate on the United States steamer
Manley, who made the supreme sac
rifice when his ship and British YES
sci collided somewhere in the Atlantic.
The other twelve stars represent his
mourning companions, who are now
preparing to go "Over there" Four
are in the navy, one at Camp McClel-
Ian, Admission, Ala, and another az
Camp Meade, Md. The flag hangs
from the window of a store kept by
H. Mankoditz. at 1880 Baltimore
street, where the "crowd of thirteen"
used to meet before being called to
the colOrs. Cohen was a son of Louis
Cohen, living at 13 Ridger place, New
York. The Manley collision occurred
March 10 last. A depth charge aboard
the ship was exploded by the impact,
killing one officer and three enlisted
men and injuring a number of others.

STILL A FAvOR|TE
Straight Chemise!ike Garment
Has Not Been Abandoned.
May Be Prominent Among the Fall
Styles, According to Recent
Statement From Paris.

The frock here shown is copy of
one of the latest Paris models, de-
signed by a famous French costumer
and brought over by one of the fore
most American importers. 1t was de-
velorad, as originally shown, in white
and navy satin, with embroidery in a
dull, rich red. This frock was one of
the surprises of the French showing,
fashion writer states, as it served
to put a question mark after the re-
iterated statement that straight line,
chemise-type garments were out of
the running this year, and that waist
line indication about this frock is the
result of the fabric combination, and
certainly that is not sufficient to make
one blind to the fact that it is a
straight chemiselike garment, touch
ing the figure practically only at the
shoulders.
This may possibly be a forerunner
of what fall will show il the lineup
of clothes, if the statement of recent
date from Paris that straight lines will
be the thing for fall may be taken as
correct.
The gown shown may be made a
slipover, if desired but it would be
easier to fashion and more easily put
on if fastened in the center back, and
the fabric selection may be varied to
suit the individual taste, complexion
! and season.
The skirt, as will be noted, is a
graceful, ankle-length and this gen.
eral rule for skirt length is applied
to virtually all the suits and dresses
shown for spring and summer.
The sash belt, with ends tied at one
side, is a pretty feature of this frock,

HAD ATMOSPHERE OF HOME
Ambassador Quick to See Attraction
"Hostess House" Would Have for
Americans in London.

! 1t was an amusing incident that first
! made the need of the hostess house
| apparent in London. In 1917 certain
| American members of a Canadian unit
| had business with the American am
| bassador, but could come to him only
on Sunday. Mr.. Page suggested that
! they come to tea at his house. Six of
them arrived, and Mrs. Page poured
tea in the drawing-room. 1t was very
CHEEKY and cordial, but somehow the
| business hung over. They. had to meet
another Sunday.
This time there were ten Americans
and the business was not completed.
Mr.. Page suggested third Sunday,
and 20 Americans came to transact
! business with him on that day.
During the following week he sug-
gested that the Americans in the
Canadian unit who still wished to talk
| TO him should come to his house a
fourth Sunday and wind up affairs
with him. and on the fourth Sunday
! the Page drawing room was packed
with soldiers.
| The ambassador told his associates
about it, and one of them chaffed an
American who had gone there to tea.
Ambassadors are popular with you
| Yanks ~ he said.
"Oh the ambassadors all right -
! conceded the American. But we
didn't attach much Importance to the
business. 1t was Mrs. Page. She
served US tea around an honest-to-
goodness log fire, with tea wagon
and fiXings. 1t was great"
And there you are! Mindful of
those Sundays, Mr.. Page realized that
with the advent of American forces in
England a substitute home for them
was an immediate necessity; so he
was the moving spirit in the estab-
lishment by the Y. NJ. G. A. of the
American officers inn at Cavendish
square, London.

Fresher Symbolism.

Symbolism has a more direct rela-
ton to our conduct than we are always
ready to grant. The old conventions
of burial and of grief accomplished
the importance of physical and indi-
vidual loss. and so were in themselves
an observation of the new light we are
seeking upon the marble face of death.
The growing practice of wearing white
rather than black for mourning, or of
continuing the habitual colOrs of ones
dress the movement for placing upon
the service flag a gold star in memory
of soldier killed, are attempts toward
a fresher and truer symbolism express
ing our growing protest against the
depression and paralysis too often re-
sultant upon the passage of a loved
one from the known world to the I'M
known.-Winifred Kirkland, in Allan

and then Willie FASTENED inside.

cITYS FIRST AND LAST F.,
Jerlcho's Siege and Capture One of the
Spectacular Stories of the
Old Testament

On the morning of Washington's
birthday Gen. Sir e. n. Allenby's Aus
tralian troopers rode as conQuerors
into little village of huts, noted geo.
graphically as being the city OF low
est elevation on earth, and in Biblical
history as being the scene Of the
Promised Land, observes the Mime
apolis Journal.
In the Canaanite days Jericho was
fortified city. commanding both the
lower ford Of the Jordan and the route
leading up to the highlands of Judea.
The story of it's siege and capture and
the destruction of its population is one
of the spectacular stories Of the Old
Testament, which contrasts strongly
with its gentle seizure by Christian
army in a year of our Lord thirty-five
centuries later.
According to the Old Testament
story, the city was left desolate with
curse from Joshua upon the man who
should attempt to rebuild it. And it
is related that Hiel, the Bethelite, who
did rebuild it, lost his two sons in the
construction of the wall as punishment
for his temerity.
II was at Jericho that Joshua insti-
tuted his campaign of frightfulness
upon his enemies; and II was on the
jericho road leading up to the Judean
highlands that Jesus laid the scene Of
the story of the Good Samaritan who
gave first aid to a wounded enemy.
The advance from Joshua to Jesus in
the human ideal of duty toward ones
enemies Is the very measure of the
spread between the ideals Of linden
burg and Allenby on the same ques-
ton.
This war is fundamentally a con-
f1ict between the ideals of modern
brotherhood and ancient overlordship /;
and nowhere is the contrast more note
worthy than in this little village Of
Jericho, where the people today are
safer in the hands Of their enemies
than they were under the rule of their
own people. The world, with the excep-
ton of Germany and Turkey, has trav-
eled long way between the two falls
of Jericho.

FLOWERED TO0UE is REVIVED
Blossom Bedecked Headgear Is Much
in Favor With Matronly Women
After Several Seasons.

The Powered toque has been reviv-
ed again and is much worn by matron-
ly women. Several seasons have eIaps-
ed since the small flower-covered hat
received any particular attention.
An especially effective model of this
type was worn by large and dignified
woman with full-length broadtail
coat made with a shawl collar and
deep cuffs of chinchilla. The close
fitting toque which topped this hand
some garment was covered with small
white lines. Each flower was placed
individually and stood out from the
others. A piece of narrow black vel
vet ribbon was worked in and out
among the lilies around the front and
sides and ended in a cluster of bows
at the back.
Violets frequently appear in these
fiower-crowned hats. Many of the red
flowers are also used.
The flower named ragged sailor was
attractively applied on one close-fit-
ting model set off with two slender
outstanding wings. A fine mesh veil
with a heavy velvet scroll completed
the hat, which was worn by young
woman in braid trimmed tailored
suit of blue velour.

General Purpose Dresses.

Since economy is not only the rage,
but the common necessity of the day, a
dress that can serve more than one
purpose has unique standing in the
present affairs of the feminine world.
The simplest form of this idea is to
have gown, say of serge or of satin,
made on entirely conservative lines,
with the provision of changing collars
and cuffs to yeStees and underSleeves,
or with the possibility of varying Ell
Their of these sets Of ornamentation.
There are so many original things to
be done in this direction. There is the
use of organdie in pastel shades. II
has infinite possibilities. Colored chif-
fons are done this season in this con.
nection, and so on through all the list
of collar and waistcoat materials.
