A certain banker who was learlul OF
the conditions which he anticipated
would be produced through the closing
down of many war industries and the
throwing of so many of the uncm-
ployed on the country during the COM
ing winter was in very different frame
Of mind when seen today.
He said he understood that the United
States employment service has been cam
vassing the war industries to find cut
what workers they are planning to re-
lease, and from 100 replies to 500 ques-
tionnalres on the subject it had re-
ceived the answer, None In fact
fve of these industries had asked spe-
officially for more hands. Up to date
no industry had indicated it had workers
to release.
Again, n second questionnairc was
sent to 500 peace industries asking what
workers they needed. Forty Of these
Industries had replied to date asking
for $1,000 men and women, skilled and
unskilled.

TIPS FOR HOME

Try rhubarb juice, boiling hot, to re-
move stubborn rust stains.
A tablespoonful of either borax, tur-
pentine or kerosene added to pan of
starch will prevent the iron sticking.
House plants need more water In
very warm weather than when the tenn
perature Is either moderate or cold.
Have place on each floor where
articles to go downstairs or to go up
stairs are invariably placed. Take
them with you. when you go and put
each article where 1t belongs, thus say
Ing many steps.
To prevent flour paste from becom-
Ing sour add teaspoonful of boracic
acid to a pint of paste and six drops
OF oil of cloves. Make the paste quite
thick and be sure that II Is perfectly

have plenty of library paste on hand.
and this will keep until used up.
II you want to carry hat with you
when motoring and yet are afraid that
expensive trimmings will be mussed II
the hat is allowed to rest on the bot

The Proper use Of Clothes.

The best people wear their clothes
as they wear their personalities-they
show their finest side to their families
and most intimate friends. However.
says Vogue. too many people show
their worst side to those of whom they
are fondest. and save their best for an
Indifferent public. This is particularly
true in the matter Of clothes, although
the situation has changed somewhat
since the war, and more and more
women realize the Importance of look
ing charming in the home. Perhaps
this is because a woman wishes her
husband or her son to keep the pleas

loughs.

that there are three main divisions
separated according to the principal
stomach poisons in use: ~ Arsenate
of lead; (2) arsenate Of lime, and (3)
paris green. Each of these divisions
Is divided in accordance with the kind
of fruit: Pome fruits, grape and stone
fruits. These. In turn, are subdivided
into sections: ~ Chewing insects; (2)
chewing and sucking insects; (3) chew
ing insects, sucking insects and fun
gous diseases. These are further d.
vided, when a choice of spray material
could be given. To make use of the

kind of fruit to be sprayed; next the
pests to be combated, and, finally, the
choice of the spray materials. u.s.,

If pome fruits, for example, are to
be treated for chewing insects, arsen-
ate lead, arsenate of lime, or paris
green may be used; but. as will be seen
in the diagram, milk of lime should be
added to the latter two. If stone fruits
are to be sprayed for chewing insects,
1t will be noted that nothing but arsen-
ate of lead combined with milk of lime
should be employed. Again, suppose
apple trees are infested with chewing
and sucking insects and that arsenate
of lead is selected for the former, 1t
will be observed that this arsenical
may be combined with soap, or nico-
tine, or nicotine and soap, or kerosene
emulsion. If apples are to be sprayed
for both chewing and sucking insects
and also fungous diseases and arsenate
of lime is to be used for the chewing
insects, nicotine should be added to 1t,
and lime-sulphur or bordeaux mixture,

SILK GLOVES ARE IN FAVOR,
Hand Covering That is Not Only Eco
nomicaI but Is Happily in Height
Of Fashion.

Do you remember when you some

rather fussy old ladies In particular
If you were young and prided yourself
on your smart dressing you would
sooner have gone gloveless than don
gloves of silk.
Just why you felt this way 1t is
hard to say. silk stockings carried no
such odium or distinction. And sure
ly silk gloves have always had good
deal In their favor Tor warm weather
wear.
Cotton gloves. of course. we thought
Of as-well, something that you would
endure bravely If you were reduced to
them. They were associated with the
last stages toward the poorhouse In
the minds of most Of us.
Then France began to wear fabric
gloves and gradually we discovered
that they were more easily washed and
cooler than wash channels or doeskin
gloves. But the best thing that ever
happened to silk gloves or cotton fab
ric gloves was the fact that because
of the war their price went up.
For the first time people were will
ing to try them without feeling that
in doing so they would be effecting an
enormous economy. Moreover, being
economical has come in favor since
the war. Now, although silk gloves
cost probably very little less than kid
gloves did before the war, still kid
gloves have gone soaring so that they
are in the category of luxuries.

Orchards and vineyards are usually

kind of spray material. Fortunately
it is possible to combine the necessary

corrects Wrong Impression

Statement by the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1.-The attention of the treas
ury department has been called to the
fact that there is some misunderstand-
ing in various parts of the country to
the effect that the beneficiaries under
certificates of insurance, held by sol
diers who have died, are required to
show that they were dependent upon
the soldier before they can collect the
insurance benefits due. This impress
sion is wholly unfounded and is no
doubt due to confusion of the insur-
ance provisions of the war risk in
surance act with those relating to
compensation which apply whether the
soldier carries insurance or not"
