 Aren't you awfully timid with girls?" she finally asked as they en- tered her gate. '

 He silently assisted her up the steps, and when they reached the door he asked, May I come fn?"
 "Certainly-certainly. Welcome to our home, now and every time you wish to come"
 Thank you, May I speak to your mother?'
 Surely. She will be delighted to meet you"
 Marie found her mother so deeply engrossed in writing a paper on up lifting the Fallen that she had not noticed her daughters failure to re- turn from school
 Come to the parlor, mother, and meet my latest conquest-a handsome young officer" whispered Marie.
 Smilingly the mother followed her daughter into the presence of the sol dier. and was formally introduced. Did you know, madam, where your daughter was this evening"" the young man inquired. as he bowed politely. With friends I suppose" l Did you suppose that she was promenading a public thoroughfare, and making the acquaintance of any strange man she fancied ?" l What do you mean, sir?" demanded the mother indignantly. '1 mean that you seem totally blind to your daughters danger. To be perfectly frank with you, madam, your daughter is on the road to ruin at of bidding you good evening"
 Before either mother or daughter had recovered from the shock of his daring words, the young officer had taken his departure. For full min- iute tEey stared at each other in si- fence. Then Marie burst into tears.

cial Corner: I want just a few mo- .lents of your tina to explain that think it is our duty to Hoover,ze and save all we can. Don't get dIscour- aged even if you do spoil batch of bread or few pies etc; but be persistent and keep trying to save. Don't yield to the temptation to stop trying to save. We may ruin a batch of pies (if we make them) but never mind, that is only one batch; and we have got to ruin some before we get perfect. Practice makes perfect" This will be an excellent motto with which to win the war.
 The housewives are Hooverizing right along. I don't think we need to but card in the window to tell the world we are saving: bu. just keep ahead and let the world see that the women lii the kitchen are intelligent and resourceful- Che of the. greatest revelations of this war will be the proof that woman can do all kinds of work and remain womanly I know some will say. am so sick and tired :, Of hearing that word "sayei" I was myself; but I am learning to like it.

TO PROTECT FuRs FROM MOTHS.

Beat the furs, using preferably piece of rubber hose. This will not cut or tear them Comb them over with a steel comb and expose them to direct sunshine 'in the open air. Shake and brush each piece carefully, wrap it separately in newspa per- paste the edges tightly, label it, and lay it away in a drawer, chest or wooden box, where the paper in which it is wrapped will not be broken.
 Or, to prevent accidental breaking of the wrappers, lay the package in pasteboard or wooden boxes and seal the joints with newspaper and paste. Cedar chests. moth balls or other re- pellants are not necessary if. all moths eggs and larvae are first removed and the furs are packed tightly; but there can be no objection to sprinkling na.o- thaline crystals, red or black pepper, various essential oils, and other sub stances having strong odors among the furs, or to wrapping up in them pieces of gum camphor. tallow can dies, etc.

WHEATLEss DAY RECIPES

Dear Social Corner Sisters: These are recipes which I venture to con- mend for wheatless days:
 Everybody's Brown Bread One cup cornmeal, half cup rolled oats. half cup dry bread crumbs, one and half teaspoons salt, one cup sour milk. one quarter cup molasSes, one teaspoon soda, half cup nuts or raisins if de- sired
 Combine the first four ingredi- ents. Mix the soda. molasses, and the sour milk and combine with the first mixture Add the nuts and raisins last Fill greased pans one-half full. Steam the bread for three hours or longer and then set in the oven to dry for 15 minutes.
 Here is a good rye muffin recipe which we like better than mullins made with all white flour: Melt table soons of lard Cham fat is fine), one egg well beaten, one and one-half cups sweet milk. one teaspoon salt. two tea spoons sugar, three teaspoons baking powder, one and one-half- cups rye flour, one cup wheat flour.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Are you not glad that the winter is so nearly past? l am, counting the days to spring, when we may dare hope for warm weather. It will be a blessing to all. everywhere in the world, I think. We shall have to use more nolasses in our cooking at present, I suppose, and I wish to tell the Sisters that in making cake or cookies, if they will boil the .molasses and sugar together for few minutes before putting in the other ingredients. it will require less sugar. and the flavor will be i'm proved This is my favorite recipe for ginger snaps, and my family thought them very nice:
 Ginger Snaps: One cup sugar, one cup molasses. Boil together a few minutes, then add one cup of drip l soda dissolved in one- third cup of wa ter. Mix rather soft and roll thin; one teaspoon of ginger also My mother used to make dessert called Apple Jonathan. She put nice crust of biscuit dough, made quite short, around the side of kettle for about six inches, filled the center with quartered and spiced apples, put g crust on top. and cooked it on top ot the stove, We ate 1t with syrup, and thought it very nice.
 l Do the Sisters know that rye mea and whole wheat, cooked like rolled cats, make fine breakfast cereal Nearly all the grains are good cooked In this way.

The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company is asking the pub
lie utilities commission to grant it a
slight increase in rates. ust half what
it voluntarily reduced a few years ago.
The company is running behind. and il
Is either bankruptcy or an increase in
rates. There is a growing feeling that
for several years public service cor
poratiOns have been unfairly dealt
with. The first thing the government
had TO do when il took over the rail
roads a TO lift some of the restric-
tons it had imposed on them. When
the war broke out the railroads we're
headed toward receiverships. and only
the greatly increased traffic saved
them. Now the government is operating
them at a loss. due to increase in wa
ges and the cost of everything they
have to buy. All corporations. and all
lines of business are up against the
same conditions. The petition of the
telephone company is a reasonable ane
and should be granted without hesita-
ton.

Quite early in the preparations OF
the United States for war, Red Fox
James, chief Of the Blackfeet, made an
eloquent appeal to be permitted to
lead his people 10 war. Here is what
the chief wrote:
From all over the west We stand
ready to spring 70 the saddle. We stand
ready to protect the 400 miles Of bor-
der between the United States and
Mexico. Fifty thousand men who know
the horse as no white man ever knew
II; fifty thousand men who a live
where no white man has ever lived
fifty thousand Indians who, when their
hearts are Ia a cause, would die for u
as no other nation. Mr.. Secretary Of
War, call us TO arms. Let US guard
and fight for our country. We prom
ise you that not an alien foot shall
ever cross the southern border to
plllage or destroy. We beg OF you 10

Red Fox shared the fate Of Colonel
Roosevelt. lie was told that he and
his fighters must come into the army
In the regular way. But the statement
of Commissioner Sells and the appeal Of
Red Fox shows hat the Indians we're
not slow TO respond to the country's
call TO arms. There are seven hundred
Indians IN training at Camp Bowie,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Military experts declared at n
time that the American Indian would
