Fur Used Less.

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This is
partly on account of the very high
prices of furs nov and partly because
women are at present wearing all sorts
of long stoles, capes and coatees of
fur over their suits and dresses. 1t is
thought this fad will carry into the
coming fall and winter, and now In
these days of thought for conserva-
ton of materials, all these little items
are considered by the manufacturer.

hold the yolk in position, yet allow IL

Between the white and the shell are
two flbrous membranes with an air
space between them. When first laid,
the contents fill the entire egg, but
when the egg cools the contents shrink
and these membranes separate, form
Ing an air space. The size of this air
space is important in determining the
freshness of the egg. AS the egg ages
the air space increases In size. Most
bad eggs have enlarged air spaces.
A fine, thick white is found in
fresh egg, and a weak thin white In
stale egg. As the egg becomes stale
the amount of thick white decreases.
Several classes of bad eggs are indi-
Gated by discolored whites.
The yolk of the fresh egg when
twirled before the candle is seen dimly
as a dark object moving slowly in the

more plainly than that of the fresh

The start of incubation in a fertile
egg may be detected by a reddish glow
surrounding the germinal spot essen
eggs, although considered edible, are
not graded as firsts) This reddish
glow is entirely different FROM the So

the fallen acorns, swallowed the little
animal half down before it knew what
had happened.
But the squirrel catching It's breath,
twisted around and caught the snakes

'The squirrel attacked me-" the
snake managed to say to man who
had come up with a stick to see what
the trouble was.
Let the man decide what is just"
the squirrel offered, and we will abide
by it."
The snake objected; "I must, as
things stand today, in the name of the
Serpentlne Power, decline this court
as prejudieed."
The squirrel asked what the snake
would agree to.
IAN intimate meeting for discussion
would be the way to remove the nu-
merous intentional or unintentional
misunderstanding Let US crawl into
this hollow log where we can't be an
noyed by outsiders and I will cheer

Just as soon as the belligererts had
got out of sight in the log and the
snake could finish annexing the rest
of the squirrel. its fangs darted out of
a knot-hole and sank into the mans
foot.

A patient who is struck by light
ming should be treated to cold water
applications On the head and given the
same treatment one gives a drowning
person, artificial respiration. The
lungs must be filled with air to get
them back to breathing.
For sunstroke, loosen the clothing
lay the patient in a cool, shady place
and apply ice water to the head.
Keep the head elevated.
For fainting, lay the patient on his
back with the head lowered, allow
fresh air to circulate freely around
him and sprinkle with cold water. Do
not administer water or any stimulant
to an unconscious person, as the mus
cles of swallowing are inactive and
strangulation might result.
Fire in ones clothing Do not run

carpet, keeping the face protected.
Fire in a building. Drop on the

Suffocation from Illuminating gas.
Get patient into fresh air, place on
his back and give a teaspoonful Of
spirits of aromatic ammonia in Il
glass of water at frequent intervals.
This is a safe heart stimulant at any
time, Give two to four drops Of nux
vomica every five or six hours to the
asnhyxiated patient.
To stop bleeding. A handful Of

Antidote for poison. For acid poi
soning, soda and milk; these are found
In every home. Send for the doctor
at once; do not wait to run any risks
with life. Vinegar is taken for any
such poison as I've. Oils of all kinds
are good. Mustard and water causes
vomiting.
If ammonia is taken by accident
give new milk, olive oil, and bind ice

There are now twelve OF these CEN

A Ukrainian Community Center.
In Newark, the Ukrainians bought
two small houses. formerly dwelling
houses, in the heart OF the foreign
district, at Beacon Street and Spring
fleld Avenue. In these they IN
stalled a grocery, butcher shop,
and a restaurant. over the door
they hung a sign which read "The
Ukrainian Workers Cooperative
Society," On an upper floor, they
took out partitions and made a
large hall, where they hold meetings
three or four times a week. Some
OF their gatherings are Tor business
purposes. some are political and
some are literary As often as pos
,iblc. once or twice week. they
have lectures. 1T is hard TO find
enough lecturers TO supply the de-
mand. They want lectures on every
sort OF subject; Astronomy. his
tory. philosophy and politics. Often
theE have concerts and choral sing
ing. The Newark group intends to
buy third house. adjoining the
other two, and enlarge its meeting
hall to accommodate the increasing
crowds.
One OF the best assurances that
the Ukrainians in this country have
come to stay, instead OF being mere
birds OF passage, is the keen inter
est taken in the "Peoples' Houses ~
and the effort they are making
to ensure the pcrmanencc of the
movement. In nearly every Ukrain-
ian settlement, money is being col
lected today for the support of one
OF these institutions.

voracious readers. In their home
land, Gaacia, the peasants are so
poor that they cannot buy books,
papers, or magazines. Large num-
bers of them are illiterate. Their
foremost desire upon reaching
America has been to educate them
selves. Some idea OF their zeal for
self-improvement can be gathered
from the statistics recently obtained
by the Ukrainian Federation, re-
garding their consumption OF print
paper. Only eight newspapers are
published for the 100000 Ukrain
ians in the United States, and yet
they consume more print paper than
all of the newspapers published for
their 100000 brothers living in
Galicia.
The first Ukrainian immigration
to America began about thirty years
ago. The immigrants who came
then were from the Carpathian
Mountains in western Galicia. Their
home conditions had been torlorn.
They were farm laborerS and owned
practically no land themselves.
More than half OF the arabic land
in Galicia belongs to landlords,
many OF them are foreign noblemen,
The peasants work for a pittance
and have practically no chance OF
buying any land Tor their own oc-
cupa,iou. In fact, their status has
not been very lar above seridom.
Hungary Restricted immigration.
In the last ten years. the Ukrain-
ian immigration to the new world
has assumed large proportions, 1t
worried the Hungarian authorities
so much that, in 1912, emigration
from Galicia to the United States
was forbidden. Nevertheless. it kept
on, Tor the peasants went over ato
Germany and took ship from Ham
burg or Bremen. Usually the men
came alone and left the women IN
the old country until they could
make some suitable provision for
them in the new home. News about
