AMUSING THE CHILD.

When the child is old enough he can begin to use scissors but be sure to provide a pair with blunt points that cannot possibly hurt him. These will afford endless hours of amuse- ment and profit. Have you found that he cuts paper all over the floor? Of course he does. but use this occasion to teach him neatness. Let him have his own little Watebasllet and he will delight in picking up the papers.
 Have him cut pictures from old magazines and paste them into book made from manila wrapping paper To --- the book, take any desired size of paper fold several sheets in Shalf and sew them together along the crease. A pretty picture might be pasted on the front page, or, the child could draw on it. This will take many days work, but all the time he will be learning many lessons in patience. concentration, neatness and accura- cy and will be developing artistic tal- ent if he is apt at drawing If in his cutting he comes to a picture that has story, tell it to him. Do not criti- cize his work. as this may discourag ge him, but see to it that he does the best he can.
 Let the child draw with colored crayens or crayolas You will be sur prised at how soon and how we'll un-
 der proper guidance, he will be able
 to use his means of expressing him. self

THE ST. PAuL,s MIsHAP.

The handicap which has been caused by the overturning of the American liner St. Paul at its dock and the time which will be lost in raising it and getting it repaired and in shape for use again, add to the seriousness of the situation at this time when ships are in such great demand. The inves- tigation which is underway should be thorough and when the responsi- hiiity is fixed the punishment for the one or ones found responsible for it should be commensurate with the deed. This will depend upon whether there was carelessness in leaving the ash doors or the seacocks open or whether 1t was done Intentionally, but in either case it will be impossible to ignore the matter and charge it up solely to negligence, else the same thing can be expected to happen with othere ships.
 In view of the fact thai the vessel had just -come from, ,drydock. where ii

STRICTLY TAILORED.

The strictly tailored suits are again receiving attention. Many of the best dressed women have been noted wear ing such suits on Michigan avenue, a good indication that there has been a certain reaction from the dressy top coat uniform of the winter There is no denying the fact that the tailored suit is dear to the heart of the Amer jean woman.
 Few suits were shown at any of the openings which were recently held and those few were of more elaborate de- sign. It therefore follows that the tailored suits seen this spring may be said to be thoroughly American in make.
 As usual, the first choice for such a suit is the dark navy blue serge, the mans serge, or the more twilled gabardine, but it must be dark and, this year more than ever before, blue is to be the color used above all other shades
 The length of the skists this season varies from six to eight inches from the floor. Where the skirt is inclined to be rather narrow. it is best to ad- here quite closely to the six inch length, for these skirts are bound to draw up on the body and prove very inartistic when woman is sitting In skirts that are plaited and when the figure will allow it, the eight inch length is considered smart.
 The jackets vary in length from the Eton, of which you have heard a great deal, to the jacket which reaches about to finger tips. whiih is probably the type of jacket that will be featured l for fall.

MORE GERMAN PROMISES.

When it was declared by Germany that grain ships properly marked, fly ing the Swiss flag and destined with grain for the designated port where Switzerland is permitted to secure its imports, would not be molested it was realized that Germany was being unusually considerate or else there was some loophole by which 1t would later throw off responsibility when such promises were broken. There was little probability of the first view being true and that is now sub stantiated by the announcement to the effect thas Germany does not in- tend to guarantee the safety of such ships.
 It was not to be expected that the imperial German government would endeavor to insure the safety of the grain carrying ships against anything but attacks by German submarines. That is all that was asked of it, but that is just what is now refused on the ground that technical reasons makes it impossible to insure the mo- tifcation of the commanders of sub marines of the guarantee. This amounts to the same thing as giving notice that such Swiss ships are like " to be sent to the bottom the same as an enemy warsh:p. without notice or in other words the promise that has been made is nothing but scrap of paper, and inasmuch as it will re- quire three months, as Germany claims, before such notification car
 be accomplished it simply means that
 the needs of Switzerland are gettins no attention whatever and that these
 grain ships will have to be conveyed 1 the same as cargo ships destined te belligcrent nations. and that being done Germany will in all probability 1 maintain that it has right to sinl i them. T. is of course only another o ! the German tricks which demonstrate: 1 that it is impossible to place any re. 1 liance upon their promises.

CHAMP cLARk's DECISION.

Without the least bit of douht the reason why the governor of Missouri offered the place O. tha late Senator Stone in the senate to Champ Clark the present speaker in the house of representatives. was because he be- lieved that he was admirably fitted for the position. No one will quarrel with his judgment. for the speaker has shown himself to be an impor- tant parsonage in congress. and there IS no question but what it was gen. orally believed that the offer would be accepted. It was possible for him to look upon this offer as an oppor- tunity to tighten his duties and to step into a position of more honor for the rounding out of q long political career.
 ' Such, however, was not the view which he took Of it. Champ Clark may or may not have been attracted at first by the tender but when hU stopped io give second thought to it and to consider the service which one should give to his country it did not take him long to make up his mind that he should stay right where he is He considers that the chance for pub lie service, especially in the present crisis, lies in the retention of the speakership of the house He there fore places country before self in 3 most commendable manner. It is a stand which will make him even 2 greater speaker than he has previous. ly been. It is just such an example as the country needs at this time and it will not go without recognition by the nation as we'll as by his state re. gardless of parties.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Films For Sweden.

The first large consirnmena of American. English and French moving picture films reaching Sweden for many months has arrived. The long delay is said to have been due chiefly to the English export prohibition on films a prohibition inspired by de- sire to prevent films from reaching Germany.
 The resumption of export, according to information given The Associated Press correspondent by prominent Swedes in the cinema business, came none too soon, speaking from the stand point of the English, American and French film industries The Germans took advantage of the opportunity offered them and filled the Swedish theaters with their own films. Many theater owners who had used ex- clusively films from the three allied lands have found themselves obliged to present German films.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
How the Country Regards Chief Stan

How the Country Regards Chief Stan
 ton.
 Mr. Editor: A belated copy of The Bulletin has just come to my atten- tion in which I note that Chief How ard L. Stanton has declined the posi- ton of district supervising fire mar 1 sfal, rendered by. the federal govern ment; and I also take cognizance of an allusion to the yearly election of Chief Stanton to his important posi- tion,
 Norwich is to be congratulated that the chiefs decision is what it is; but it is what is to be expected of him. Home ties and duty to his home town are ties that bind with Chief Stanton; though I have no doubt that he feels he can serve the general good best py remaining in the field with which he is most familiar, and in which he has made such an enviable record as fire fighter, fiIk preventionist and good citizen generally.
 I wonder if Norwich really knows how the rest of the country regards it's fire chief? For in the world of fire control there is no better known l name, nor any held in higher regard, | than that of Howard l.. Stanton. For many years he has been one of the leading figures in the conventions and counsels of the International As seciation of Fire Engineers-the worlds greatest organization of fire 1 fighters-and for the last three years | has been chairman of one of its two 1 standing committees-that on utiliza- ton of automatic sprinkler systems by 1 fire departments.
 l So, too, for many years he has been active and prominent in the National l Fire Protection association, the great | est organization of fire control en- l gineers the world has ever seen, in | which, for nearly 15 years, he has been an active and influential mem Der of it's standing committee on stan- l dardization of hose couplings and hy- l drant fittings. When, after 10 years service, F. M. GrisWold of New York l resigned the chairmanship of this com nlittee. it was Chief Stanton who waS unanimously chosen as his successor and he would still be chairman i

had been closely guarded while re- pairs were being made, it is na- tural to conclude that careless
 ness was the cause of the accident. It cannot be overlooked, however, that there are those who are always seek ing an opportunity to get in a stroke of work in behalf of the enerny and there is no question but what the dis abling of ship the size Of the St. Paul, even though it is only tempor- ary, gives just so much Assistance to the cause of Germany. It is not as serious as the destruction of the ship on the high seas would be, but it is handicap and every delay counts adversely when this country Is doing it's utmost to get troops and supplies to the other side Everything possi- ble should therefore be done to as- certain the cause of the mishap and see that such thing is not repeated.

THE FIGHT FOR YPREs.

From the character of fighting that has been going on on the northern part Of the western front and from the success which has been attained by the German troops regardless of the terrible price that they. are pay ing in men for the ground gained, it seems evident that. unless there is a decided change, it is only a matter of time before the British have got to withdraw from the Ypres salient.
 This was indicated some days ago when the line at that point was shortened, not by force directed against 1t at that point but because of the advance of the enemy at Messines. Hopes that the foe could be held thero have not been fully sustained by sub sequent events, for while there has been bitter fighting and great sacri- fees on both sides, the Teutonic forces have succeeded in getting con trol of Mount Kemmel, dominating height in that section, and pushing on to the north. The British line is still intact and solidly held but the situa- ton has caused another retirement about Ypres
 Germany unquestionably expected 10 accomplish the capture of the Ypres salient at a much earlier date Had their plan not been upset the fall of Ypres would have meant far more to them than it would at this time =.ss 1t is the British have unquestion -sbly fully prepared for such a move and are in a position to retard the offensive of the enemy to such an ex- tent that the impending evacuatio ot that city Is far less serious than il would have been two weeks ago Whether the city win be taken will in all probability be determined with. in a few days.

first block ship passed in and headed for the canal. Two others followed in leisurely fashion while we kept up the fight on the mole. One of the block ships stranded outside of the canal but the two others got two or three hundred yards inside, where they were successfully sunk across the entrance.
 Fifteen minutes later the Vindictive arrived alongside the mole. our sub marine exploded under the viaduct connecting the mole with the main land The Germans had sent con- siderable force to this viaduct as soon as the submarine arrived and these men were gathered on the viauuct at tacking our submersiblc with machine guns. When the explosion occurred the viaduct and Germans were blown up together. The crew of the sub marine, consisting of six men, escaped on board a dinghy to a motor launch"

Birthplace of The Tank.

Correspondence of The Associated Press):
 A little village in the Birmingham district has the distinction of being the birthplace of the tank, that terrible engine of war which has done such effective work in British offensives and which is to be found in every t!1eater of war where British troops are fighting.
 A wagon manufacturing company with many factories scattered through out England was entrusted with the construction of the first talk and they chose thir factory in this Midland vil- lage to do the work, we'll out of sight of prying eyes. The factory which be- fore the war was engaged in the man. ufacture of railway equipment is now greatly enlarged and still growing and is engaged in manufacturing tanks, which are turned out much as are standardized automobiles in America With the exception of the engines every part needed is the construction of a tank is manufactured by this company and thousands of workmen and women are engaged on the work

one sees the parts being made, and then on through series of shops ur- til the completed article leaves the last shop to be taken charge of by a crew. of naval officers and their as- sistants.
 These latter put the tanks through the most severe tests, such as climb ing almost perpendicular hills wallow ing through mud and even attempting to climb concrete inclinee. Those which stand the test are driven back over the fields to the railroad where under their own power they are placed on fiat cars to be taken to the seaboard and thence to the front. The loading operation is complete in a few minutes and soon a train is made up and the tanks leave their birthplace only to re- turn should they meet with some lesser misfortune Of war.

HOME GARDENS MIL HELP.

There are a lot of people who carry the impression that the aid which they can render to the food supply of the country is so small that it is ab- solutely useless, and for that reason they are inclined to take no part in cultivating a home garden. If every one took the same view there would certainly be no home gardens and one of the important means of contribute ing to the supplies not only during the summer months but during the fall and winter would be nullified. Happily most people know that such an attitude is the wrong one and re- gardless of the amount of good they can do they are going right ahead, de- termined to at least make the effort. even in this direction, which Is of course the only sound and sensible view to take. It is a case where ev-. eryone should do everything possi- ble to better the situation.
 There can be no question but what the help is needed. The farmers are going to do all they can but they are face to face with a serious problem through the inability to get farm la Dor. This in many cases is going to mean a curtailment in production for if help cannot be secured food pro- duction is bound to suffer just the same as the output Of war materials would be reduced if enough factory employees could not be obtained. Wherever it is possible machinery will be used on the farms to take the place of man power, but that will not make up the difference. The op- portunity is therefore open to those who have time to give to gardening and they should respond to the situa- tion with a will It is time when everyone should do all he possibly can.

An important move in the campaign just before bedtime. Even grown ups appreciate the. soothing. sleep inducing effects of a warm bath followed by a firm, yet gentle rubdown. Test the baby's bath water with your elbow it is the oldest and most natural of thermometers If he rebels at the inn mersien, try "camoufage' to make the process appear interesting. The use of soap babies instead of the regular bar, permission to let dolly bathe at the same time, anything to make the youngster believe that bathing is a privilege will make it a pleasure to him. Wrap him in a huge bath towel pat him thoroughly dry and then rub with the palms of the hands until his skin glows. A dash of talcun is the final touch,

USE OF TuLLE.

Tulle plays an important part in the new fashions and one of it's frequent uses is for trains. A dress may be short, indeed, and yet boast a long train of this filmy fabric Sometimes it is attached to the shoulders, again it may hang from the waist, but spreads out in a. wide hemmed, square effect. Some of the new gowns, which do not indulge in trains, use the tulle in a tunic effect which hangs straight down. from the shoulders in a similar style, but stops just above the hem of the skirt. These are so graceful and airy that they bid fair to be fa- vorite features of the season. One good thing about them is that they are, as a rule, cut on such simple lines that they may be easily renewed ever by the home dressmaker.
