Use a fine crochet hook and soft split

thon with a single crochet stitch work

in the aperture with the crochet stitches,
This Is practicable only when the hole
is a large one, in the heel or knee Of a
stocking, but II Is a quick and pleasant
method Of mendinE badly worn hose.
Crochet hook and cotton may be om-
ployed 10 mend the tops Of union suits
when the ribbon beading has given out.
The beading is usually ths first thing
10 20 in women's vests and union gar
ments because OF the constant tying and
untylng OF the ribbon and the strain on
the beading in getting the garment on
and off.
When the stitches have begun to give
way so that the ribbon will not hold
neatly clip away all the ravoled ends
and the unworn beading that remains
and then with crochet cotton and hook
make a new ribbon beading in loose
double or triple crochet stitch.

POStn,an Must Be Nurse

what do you know about caring for
and properly handling day-old chicks?.
That Is now question that must be
properly answered by other than an APP
plicant for employment with a chicken
fancer. II will be necessary for him
who seeks a job as postmaster, railway
postal clerk or other places of service
where mail is handled to prove his eff
cheney as a Chicken nurse" before his
application is accepted. The reason Is
this:
on March Is the postal laws and reEu-
lations were amended to make II pos
sible for day-old live chicks to be sent
through the malls by parcel post, accord
ing TO a recent announcement made by
Postmaster General A. S. Burleson.
Some of the instructions already
handed out TO the mail clerks, postmas-
ters and like position holders are:
Handle with special care packages
containing chicks; do not give water or
food to chicks while in transit packages
are to be delivered as promptly as pos
sble do not place package in mail bags
or cover with other packages, and so far
as possible protect from extreme cold
and heat.

Where are American ideals? Where

for generations that the home Is the

and lofty ambitions? Suddenly we are
told that our boys, our soldier boys, may

they may have It in the homes Have
the authorities and powers that be been
asleep these many months? DO they not
know that most American homes, and
particularly Philadelphia homes, have
discarded all alcohol as unfit? DO they
not know that the American woman Is
keen to have her soldier boys in the
fittest condition physically and mentally
to combat that foreign foe that Is threat
ening our land?
These authorities do not reckon with
mother love, the strongest impulse In
the world. Love and protection of youth
is born in a woman as her very breath
is born, and so why offer this insult
to the home? All the laws in the world
cannot make a mother relax that vigil
lance that protects the life and morals
of her children yes, and the children
of others. For are not all these soldier
boys offering their young lives for ouI

them a deadly poison TO rob them OF
their health and sanity?
