BY EARL WIN

A reader OF this column puts up a
question for Mr.. Hoover to answer.
He compares sugar conditions in
New York city with sugar conditions
as he finds them in Washington, D.
c., the Nations city. and comments
In this way:
How is it that the people in New
York city can buy as much SUGAR
as they need and more il they wish,
and never sign a single piece OF
paper. while here in the Capital OF
the United States and elsewhere, we
sign for what we get, which Is two
pounds per person a month, and
lucky to get 1t at that
This did not impress me in the
first store / was In so much, but 7
made 1t my bushes to 90 to a num-
Der Of stores and found they were all
the same. No signature needed for
any amount OF SUGAR wanted. All
was needed was the cash.
There is something radically
wrong somewhere"
In the first place, there is a GER
TAIN and EXACT amount of sugar
on earth. II we all eat twice as
much as we should, then that sugar
supply will dwindle twice as fast as
1t should and there will be no sugar
left. II the New York man does not
stand by his Government In all
things, including the sugar ration,
then he is doing his share toward
helping the Kaiser, and you and I
will have to tighten our belts a lit

That's all there Is to that. Because

hotel clerks.
He was here representing the
Scranton pa Board of Trade at a
conference Of retail dry goods and
department store interests.
Mr.. SAean arrived in Washington
Tuesday night Tried fifteen hotels
IN vain endeavor to get rooms. No
clerk would tell him OF any probable
rooming house. and he finally APP
pealed to a man on the street, who
directed him to a room in the north
east section of the city, where Mr..
shean secured accommodations for
the night.
He reports an attendance of 800
delegates at this conference and
claims all are relating similar ex-
periences this morning.

1t is the children of school age, and
the young folks going away to school
that claim attention in August. Early
In September they begin another years
work and must be QUILTED with
clothes for the first quarter of the
school year, at least, and often for
half of it.
The early display of clothing is a
great help to those mothers who under
take to have their children's clothes
made at home. 1t is probably quite as
economical to buy little cotton dresses
ready-made as to make them at home !;
but in homemade garments individual
taste can be brought into play and
more handwork and "stitchery" used
than can be had in moderately priced
frocks bought ready made.
Besides, remodeling is an item in
wartime economy that every mother
should consider, All wooden frocks that
are either remodeled for the children
or handed on to some one who can
wear them save the consumption of
energy, and this is patriotic service
that is worth while.
Blue serge-the never failing--is
featured in the new displays. Some
times it Is combined with heavy linen

To shade the eyes or not to shade
the eyes, that Is the question to be
decided when the quest is for auto
bonnets for fall motoring. There are
several requisites that the successful
bonnet or hat or cap must fill. First
of all it must stay on; no matter what
winds may blow or how much the driv-
er manages to exceed the speed limit.
TO wobble about or come off is the I'M
forgivable sin In piece of motor head
wear. Besides this Indispensable fea-
ture--and equally important-the bon
net must measure up to Its wearer's
ideas of becomlngness.
Comfort In all our apparel is an at
tribute that Qt almost goes without
saying) is required Of 1t today. Near
ly all the hats and bonnets for mo-
toring have small brims, or visors at
the front for shading the eyes. but
there are some turbans and caps that
are brlmless. They are in the mi
nority; so 1t Is evident that if the ques-
ton of shading the eyes or not were
put to the popular vote--the eyes
would have It. Nevertheless, the
"Blue Devil' tam is so dear to the
heart of young Americans that 1t en-
ters the ranks Of fall hats for motor
wear. 1t sticks to the head as secure
ly as French soldier to a Sammy, and
withstands shocks of wind and wealth
err without bet-aying their punishment.

Dry by a Fan.

In the household which possesses an
electric fan, the drying of small guam
titles Of material can be easily done,
provided that special care be given the
preliminary treatment of the products.
All that Is necessary Is to make trays
of wire screening, with one end of each
or preferably both ends open. The
materials to be dried are spread thin
ly upon the trays, which are stacked
one upon another with the open ends
turned toward the fan and covered
with cheesecloth, and the fan is placed
close to the end of the stack and run
at moderate speed, thus driving Wig
orous current of air over the material.
Drying occurs much more rapidly at
the end nearest the fan, hence the
stack must be reversed after four to
six hours and again after longer
interval.
All materials requiring blanchlng
that are to be fan-dried should be
blanched In steam or boiling water or
serious deterioration is likely to oc-
cur. Also, since the rapid movement
Of air over the product has tendency
to dry out the surfaces of the pieces
while the inner, central portions are
still too moist, fan-dried material
should be placed In baking tins and
placed in the oven Of warm stove to
be finished. The door of the stove
should be left ajar and the fire so
regulated that the temperature is held
at $50 to 100 degrees f. for two to
three hours, after which 1t should be
raised to $50 degrees F. for minute
or two in order to destroy any eggs of
fruit insects which may have been de-
posted in the material while exposed
in the drier.

at all times. If apples or other fruits
are to be stored in an outdoor storage
cellar 1t Is desirable to have a two
compartment cellar. one for vegetables
and one for apples, with a ventllating
apparatus In each compartment.
Small Pits Best.
Outdoor banks or pits are used very
generally for keeping vegetables. The
conical pit is used commonly for such
vegetables as potatoes, carrots, beets,
turnips, satisfy, parsnips, and heads OF
cabbage.
Vegetables keep very well In such
pits. but 1t Is difficult to get them out
In cold weather, so that when a pit Is
opened it Is desirable to remove its
entire contents at once. For this rea-
son 1t Is advisable to construct several
small pits rather than one large one,
and instead Of storing each crop in
pit by itself 1t is better to place small
quantity of several kinds of vegetables
In the same pit, so that 1t will be nee
essary to open only one bank to get
supply of all of them. In storing
several crops in the same bank ii is
desirable to separate them with straw.
leaves, or other material. The veg
etables from the small pit may be
placed temporarily in the storage room
in the basement, where they will be
easily accessible as needed for the
table.

tons may live, and women must lose
those men.
We face the truth quite calmly these
days, because, as a nation, we usually
grapple with the Inevitable with the
belief of youth and the patience Of
age. Women are supposed to be a
gentle race, nurtured by chivalrous
men, and our nation is supposed to be
one of peace, serenity and calm.
viii We Wear MournIne7
1t Is a strange thing that today we
link this thinking and talking about
Immortality with an intense desire to
laugh, to be amused, to do our best
for those who are going and coming,
and to lead our lives as though war
had not smashed shell across Its
routine.
With this spirit the idea of deep
mourning Is not consistent. The world
has gone through several rapid phases
on the subject of wearing crepe during
the last two years. France has been

New York.--It is impossible, as the
casualty lists grow, to disregard the
subject of mourning clothes, writes a
leading fashion correspondent. In a
population of over hundred million,
1t is quite true that casualty list of
less than five thousand Is too small to
make any physical impression. The
mental impression grows, however, and
women speak of mourning who have
heretofore not thought Of It,
1t is a situation to which we must
look forward. There is no gentle way
of waging war, as was said by the
chief of staff. Men must die that ma

as in a model showing a plated, long
WASTED blouse of amethyst colored
linen to which a plated blue serge
skirt Is buttoned. A broad belt OF
patent leather slips through crocheted
loops of amethyst silk floss that hang
from the blouse. They are fastened to
it with few fancy stitches, an inch
or so above the buttons SO that the
belt covers the joining Of skirt and
blouse.
Heavy linen in natural color makes
collars and cuffs and sometimes yes
tees on serge one-piece frocks. Needle
work In yarn or silk floss Is more used
for decoration than anything else.
Usually one or two colors in contrast
to the frock are used and the designs
must be simple. The little frock pic
tured for the girl of six years is good
model for any sort of material-wool,
linen heavy cotton or plain wash silk.
Wool and linen are most worth while,
for the stitchery that must be put In
by hand.
Collars and cuffs or vestees in heavy
natural linen are beautiful In combi-
nation with blue, brown or green wool
ems. They are made so that they can
be taken out and washed; hence tive
sets are necessary to each dress.

STRIVE NOW TO
PREVENT WASTE
Save Time and Labor by Keeping
Root Crops in Storage
Cellars and Pits.
OUTDOOR CAVES ARE USEFUL
Particularly Desirable on Farm as
They Afford Convenient and In
expensive Facilities for Sur
plus Vegetables.

Before canning or drying root vege-
tables the housewife should carefully
consider the possibility of saving time,
strength, and expense by the use of
storage pits or root cellars.
A half-acre garden will produce far
more vegetables than the average fam
lily can consume during the summer.
Only a small portion of the garden
products are used as they reach ma
turity. Beets, late cabbage, carrots,
celery. onions, parsnips, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, satisfy, and turnips
may all be stored for winter use.
The successful storage of vegetables
is not at all difficult; in fact good
storage facilities already exist in
most homes, 1t being only necessary
to make use of the cellar, the attic. a
large closet, or other parts of the
dwelling, depending upon the charac-
ter of the product to be stored. Many
cellars are not we'll suited for this
because of poor insulation or lack OF
ventilation. Cellars containing n fur
mace for heating the dwelling usually
are too warm and too dry for the stor-
age of root crops. It Is often posi-
BILE, however, to partition off a room
either In one corner or at one end of
the cellar where the temperature may
be controlled by means Of outside win
dows.
Outdoor Storage Cellars.
Outdoor storage cellars or caves are
excellent for the storage of many veg
etables. They are particularly desira-
BILE on the farm, as they afford conven-
tent and inexpensive storage facilities
for surplus vegetable crops that other
wise might be lost. They possess all
the advantages of the storage room
In the basement and are superior In
many respects. The outdoor storage
cellar can be maintained at uniform
temperature over long period. 1t Is
possible to keep the cellar cool and
quickly to reduce the temperature of
the stored products to the desired
point for safe storage by opening the
utOI uuttHk the uiEul anu SlUSluE II III
the morning before the air becomes
warm. All ventilators should likewise
be kept tightly closed until the out
side mir is again cooler than that with
I'm the cellar, when they should be
opened, unless the outside temperature
is so low as to be dangerous. This
safeguards the product and adds to the
efficiency of the storage chamber.
Vegetables can be more conveniently
plaed In such a cellar than In the stor-
age room In the basement of dwell
ing.
When the chief use of the outdoor
storage cellar is for storing turnips
beets. carrots, and other root crops
commonly used as stock food II should
be located near the stable. where the
material will be convenient for winter
feeding. When It is to be used for
vegetables for the table the cellar
should be accessible from the kitchen

the nation that thought 1t most decent
to wear the deepest habiliments of woe
out of respect to the dead and comfort
to ones own feelings; but even France
has considerably lightened her mourn
ing so that her women often do not
wear crepe or even a widows bonnet.
Already the long crepe veil has prac-
tically disappeared. One sees women
of ultra-conservative tastes dressed in
black chiffon with black silk hat and
a small mourning veil of coarse-mesh
black net so open that it is merely
a cobweb of silk strings.
This Is a widows costume. There
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1918-09-21

are sisters and mothers who even omit
the veil and wear simple black clothes.
There are other sisters who put the
broad band around the sleeve; and
this has already been done, mind you,
and it's influence is potent.
This manner of dressing is aided and
abetted by our government, which
hopes that women will not discard the
clothes they have in order to buy cost
ly and sometimes large wardrobes Of
crepe and other mourning habiliments.
1t feels that the whole nation grieves
for itself and for others; that each
womans woe is echoed in another
womans heart; that anxiety is univer-
sal. Therefore, 1t is not necessary for
woman who has lost man in battle
to go to the extreme length of draping
herself in crepe, so that her face is
invisible and her body weighted down
with heavy and unusual fabrics.
