HELPS TO HOUSEWIVES.

One of the important things to Lnow in life is how to- let yourself alone. The ability to relax, the art of being judiciously lazy, the tact to let herself alone, has saved many a woman from a nervous breakdown. We all know the housewife who nags herself into such a state of conscien- tiousness that she cannot rest. If she lies down she is continually wor- rying herself with thoughtsSof the work she is neglecting.
 Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies at the doors of the mothers. The mistake is in the train ing of their children. They are taught from earliest infancy to be kind to others, to bear with them, to forgive them and to help them.

Watching the stage heroine sweep about in a long, clinging evening gown usually gives the impression that the lady is of great slenderness. Therefore, slender persons often get the impression that they also would look beautiful and willowy by the simple annexation of tight, clinging evening frock.
 But the sad truth is that these rather tight, clinging gowns can by no means be worn with distinction by

FEW PERSONS REALLY HAPPY
Whatever the Cause, the Great Major
ity Of People Fall to Make the
Best Of Their Lives.

The other night we CHANGED to ask
an eminent physician of New York city
his opinion as to the number of people
who were truly happy. His rather
dogmatic reply was:
about one In hundred"
And this was not the opinion of a
pessimist, but of a most radical op-
timist.
We wonder If this opinion is shared
by others. 1t does not mean, of course,
that ninety-nine people out of hun
dred are deeply unhappy-that would
be absurd. But there is no doubt that
a great many people are quite unhappy
good deal Of the time, perhaps not
half the time, but enough rather to
cloud their lives.
We should like to know the opinion
OF physicians generally. More and
more people go to the doctors to tell
them their troubles. The physician of
today takes the place of the confess
sional Of yesterday.
Then, too. there is the new applIca-
ton of psychology to the field of medi-
cine-the so-called psycho-analysis
which is so rapidly taking its place as
an important part, literally, of the
medical pharmacopeia. This new
science has given wonderful insight
into our subconscious selves and re-
yeals how far that subconscious self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out of this confused well
ter Of existence.-New York Tribune.

RED CROSS TO RECLAIM
SOLDIERS OLD UNIFORMS

The United States. Government, In
order to conserve the Nations supply
of wool, has asked the co-opera ton of
the Red Cross and, through it, of the
women of leisure in helping to reclaim
and rejuvenate the uniforms discard
ed by the soldiers leaving the camps
to embark for France
When the men in the camps get their
summer wear they return their winter
apparel to the Quartermaster's Depart
ment. Next fall, when new winter out
fits are distributed, the men will turn
over the uniforms they now are wear
ing. Nothing is thrown away, and, as
a result, the camps throughout the
country have large store of old uni
forms and other wear which must be
repaired for use for rough work either
at environments or across the water.
The renovation Of old uniforms re-
Gently was started by the Reclamation
Department at Camp Upton, but the
work is not going on with sufficient
rapidity.
So 1t was put up to the Red Cross,
which decided, at the request of the
Government, to carry on this work,
utilizing the services of volunteer
workers in New York. If it proves
successful here 1t will be inaugurated
all over the country
eThrough the Atlantic Division the
New York County Chapter of the Red
Cross has taken hold of it, naming
one of its auxiliaries as the first Recla-
nation Station. Uniforms will be
secured at the camps before being for
warded to the station.

AFTER long period OF discussion
and failure to bring forth anything of
value TO the travelling public the Bur

on Wednesday, agreed to adopt the
plans Of the Camden county engineer
and to build the bridge over Pensaukin
creek between the two counties. 1t was

manned" for Camden county refused
to accept anything but the plans pre-
pared by its own engineer, despite the
fast that Mr.. Logan. our engineer, is
equally capable as the man from the
neighboring county. However, the
action was the proper one, as it will
benefit this county more, possibly,
than the increased cost would indicate
The lower part of this county, especi-
ally in Chester township. has grown to
Q great degree and the new buildings
that have been erected and are still in
course OF erection must necessarily aid

this bridge may also be responsible for
the long delay in getting the new road
between Moorestown and Merchant

not to be any more time lost in com
pleting this job. The people who have
use for the road have been discom-
moded long enough and the Board OF
Freeholders onght TO see to it that the
work is pushed rapidly now or else i'm

Red Cross Needs Funds

The immediate need for funds with
which the fine work being done by the
Mount Holly Red Cross can be con-
tinued was brought out forcibly at a
meeting of the executive committee
held at the residence of local chair
man DIR. H. E. Longsdorf on Monday
evening, when the allotments for the
months of July and August were read
off and it was figured that the mater
ials alone will cost about $500, with
not enough money in the treasury to
meet the demand. The shortage of
fGnds at this time does not mean that
the faithful women and active york
ers are going to stop, as they have a
do or die" determination to keep the
Mount Holly Red Cross in the fore
rank of 100 per cent. efficient war
work organizations, but it does mean
that more money must be had without
delay and it becomes the duty of town
residents to make such contributions
as may be necessary. Chairman
iLongsdorf said that he had called the
attention of the finance committee To-
this condition and felt sure that there
would be satisfactory response to
the personal appeals to be made, so,
the work on the new allotments will

open utterances with respect TO his

He has fulfilled all of his promises and
there is not any need for him to again

"whirlwind" business will be left to
George Record. and he is ably fitted to
all that part of the programme. 1t will
give him some prominence, but it will
not enable him to secure the coveted
nomination. Governor Edge will not
have any opposition in his own party
and will win the nomination and the
subsequent election. Record is making
desperate efforts to attack some OF
Governor Edges official acts, but every
body knows George. and his tent cam
paigning will not do him any especial
benefit nor will it do his competitor
any harm.

Paris Alerte Summons
Red Cross Ambulances
twenty-five Men Rush to Scene When
Buildings Are Struck by Bombs.

The sounding of the alerte or air
raid alarm in Paris summons twenty
five American Red Cross ambulance
men to report instantly to the ambu-
lance garage. These men are provided
with gas masks, put on steel helmets
and warm up" ten to fifteen ambu-
hnces. If the Boche plane succeeds
in planting bomb on building the
Paris Police Department flashes word
to the garage at the same time that
the Fire Department in the district is
called. AS many ambulances as are
needed start on rush through the alb
solutely black streets to the scene Of
the disaster. Once there, the Red
Cross doctors and crews care for the
wounded and join with the pompiers,
or firemen, in rescuing any persons
caught in the wreck.
Rescuing Raid Victims.
A typical alarm reached the garage
one morning at one o'clock. bomb
had struck five story building and
crumbled the top floors into mass Of
wreckage, supported only by the slen-
der iron pillars of the ground floor.
The ambulance and firemen made their
way into the wreck from the rear base
ment and heard man calling for help
from the front Of the building. BY the
aid of flash lights two firemen and two
ambulance men, treading like cats lest
they might bring down a mass of
beams. finally got within fifteen feet
of the imprisoned tenant. The res
cuers crowded through a narrow rent
in wall into a small room, where a
single thin iron pillar held up hum
dreds of tons of debris. A hole was
cut into the wall, only to find an iron
stove in the way! This stove was
smashed with hatchets and drawn,
piece by piece, through the hole In the
wall. One of the men crawled through
and got the victim, who was hurt, but
fortunately not seriously. While they
were moving him there came a sudden
slipping-a crash overhead. Fortu-
nately the little iron pillar held, and
the party was able to back out into
the alley, carrying the injured man.
He was placed in Red Cross ambu-
lance and rushed to hospital
When the rescue group took another
look at the front of the building they
found that the slip had piled thirty
feet Of solid wreckage in the room
where the stove had been.

The Cost Of Life.

ITO live is always to be hurt In
some way" said young voice re-
Gently. 1t was the half-resentful, half
wondering voice of one still new to
the experiences of existence, and ques-
tioning their justice.
The statement is true, and the more
fully alive one is, the more keenly
are the hurts felt. Every joy brings
with 1t its possible price of suffering.
Every love opens a door to sorrow,
every gift brings its weight of response
bility; wider knowledge brings the
larger drain upon sympathy. The high
er one rises In the scale of being, the
greater becomes not only the capacity
for joy, but also the twin capacity for
suffering, but who would choose to be
clod to avoid feeling, a block Of
marble to escape the pain of a living
soul?

means of spiral or curl, as Of vapor,

Grandma Eve to thank for that.) If
