THE VETO SUSTAINED.

When President Wilson vetoed the agricultural bill because of the pro-
 vision contained therein that the price
 of wheat should be fixed at $40 a bushel he acted in accord with the view of the lower house of congress which had approved that compromise amount in the bill simply to prevent a deadlock on the appropriation bill. It was the senate which sought to raise the figure to s2.bo a bushel and the house desired it to remain at :2.2o and not until the conferees were balk- ed was the compromise decided upon.

EVERYDAY HELPS.

Fried edibles have fallen into dis repute because so few cooks know how to fry correctly. Soggy, greasy, indi- gestible results follow the average eX- pertinent with hot fat, and in many families foods are served only baked, boiled or sauted. Never pile fried croquettes, oysters or doughnuts one on the other. Keep them separate, so that they may remain crisp all over. The usual way of serving scrapple is to cut it into slices about one half inch thick, dust the slices with flour or cracker dust or dry cornmeal and fry until the outside is somewhat crisp. Serve hot

HANDkERCHIEFS.

If the handkerchiefs are yellow, the reason is that they have not been properly washed To overcome this yellow color put the handkerchiefs in cold water, in which there is kerosene, about one teaspoonful to a quart and a shaving of good laundry soap. Let the handkerchiefs boil in this about three hours. Take them out, dry in the sun, and they will be snowy white. This treatment will apply to any linen or white clothing.

If you need a casing for the top of a eamisole, or nightgown, or kiddie's frock in a hurry, try making a wide cat stitch on the outside of the gar ment with heavy silk or mercerized cotton.

Increasing Ice Drifts on the Banks.
 Since May 10th the number of ice bergs reported in the vicinity of the Newfoundland Banks has apparently increased so decidedly as to deserve the special attention of navigate crossing the ocean.
 Though the ice season of New foundland did not open remarkably early this year, it may be protracted and prolific of bergs drifting south and southwest into the principal trans Atlantic routes. The energetic polar currents on which the glacial masses are borne southward will be antagon- ized by the warm Gulf Stream on the southern side of the Banks during summer. But the large and deeply submerged icebergs probably will live and continue to drift to lower lati- tudes for several weeks to come- New York Herald.

CORRECT ATTIRE.

It is invariably noticeable that the women who always seem to be well dressed and do so at small expense are those who select a color that is becoming and adhere to it, using for variation colors that are closely allied to it. Some women tire of continually using a certain color and often resort to dress of a decidedly different color just for change, only to find it rather an expensive experiment, inasmuch as 1t sometimes means an entirely new outfit of hats, gloves and other acces- series.

Daily brushing of the brows and an occasional treatment with tonic are excellent. As to the lashes, they also require attention if they are scraggly or too short. Clipping by one who knows how to do so expertly will re- suit in making them grow, as a gen. eral rule. Oil of cajeput applied oc- casionallv with a tiny camers hair brush is a good tonic. And speaking of tonics, it is an excellent idea to pro- vide oneself with a good skin food or lotion. Applying this to the flesh oc- 'casionally will cleanse the pores and freshen and beautify the complexion.

One of the practices which the new regulations for automobile owners will stop is the thoughtless and ex- pensive act of permitting the motor to run while the car is parked.
 Any street of the city will reveal at any hour of the day a number of large cars, amply equipped with self-starting devices, standing idle for many min utes, but with the motor running.
 This is a large and useless waste when multiplied by the number of cars the nation over whose owners practice this habit.
 There is no reason on earth why any car should stand for more than a few minutes with engine running. Even' the smallest car, when once heated up, is not a hard proposition to start by cranking. But it is not the owners of these small and econo- mical cars who are the guilty ones. Rather is it the practice of the owners of the heavier and costlier cars. To them a pint of gasoline is no account. Bridgeport Telegram.

Many women who motor will find themselves confronting a problem re- garding correct attire, especially in these days when a ninety or a hundred mile run in an open car is considered only a jaunt. One wishes at the same time to be dressed to dine at any of the restaurants and feel as spick and span as those who tour in closed car. For this purpose there is no garment quite as desirable as the long motor coat, tailored and cut on good lines.
 Underneath such a coat one may wear any sort of frock that is con- fortable and that will make a good ap- pearance when the wrap is removed.
