WINDOW PROTECTION.

Frequently keeping the bedroom win- dow open means the entrance of a great deal of dirt. besides blowing the curtains and the small objects about the room.
 Make a frame just fitting the lower sash of the window, very similar to the frame of screen. This is covered on both the outer and inner sides with coarse brown burlap.,
 It proves a wonderful convenience. Whatever dirt sifts through the first layer of cloth is stopped by the sec ond. Also the window may be open in the very coldest weather without any direct draft.
 Perhaps it's greatest value would be found in the baby's room. It might be boon to ali mothers, for when the child takes it's nap in the daytime the shade can be pulled down to the tor of the frame, making the room dark but still allowing plenty of fresh air Such a frame can be taken out east ly, the only thing which keeps it ,in place being the close fit between it and the window frame.

Germany has earned this distrust of the world. Her people are as guilty as her rulers. This distrust is so deep that these labor troubles which seem on the face of them pro pitious for democracy in Germany are received with skepticism and the ques- tions is, ''Is it a trick?" Just how Germany will at last make the world of her enemies understand that she IS beaten and ready for new ways 'of life will be problem for her leaders to solve Certainly the world will want to see moving pictures of the Kaiser and his band of fellow cut throats enthusiastically interned in London or Paris or on their way to t.

 This is the way it was done; they had sapped in underneath the German front line. underneath their wires, and placed explosives. These we're con- neeted by wires ready to blow up any time it was ordered. When they are set off it leaves a crater 200 or 300 feet wide.
