Brave Action Saved Shin.

For devotion to duty in going
through a steam-f1lled room and by
quick action saving their ship, Floyd
McCurdy and two sailor mates have
been commended for bravery. The
bottom valve of a boiler had been car
ried away and the engine rooms were
sitting with clouds Of steam. Through
the efforts Of these men and their
hauling of the fires, serious results
were averted. NIcCurdy enlisted in
the navy in 1912 at Philadelphia
Chicago News.

LONESOME MAN.


This lonesome man, who Is not loved
For whom nobody cares
Who never has been turtle-doved
Nor lectured on the stairs;
Oh, what must be his lonesome state
Whose pillow is a stone,
Who staggers on to meet his fate,
Unguided and alone
The bache1or-that human crab
Who goes through life a-scowl.
Who at a 1eeting joy may grab
To drop 1t with a growl,
That fellow all alone who wends
His way to anywhere,
Counting some noses as his friends
Though none of them may care.
The lonesome man, sad is his lot!
Cheap is his poor estate
Who never fills a family pot
Nor shakes furnace CRATE!
And yet-somehow he seems to be
Astonishingly fat!
Perhaps he's not so lonesome as
We think he is. at that!

BETTER TO DRILL THAN
CHECK WEAK SEED CORN

Where necessary to plant
weak seed corn, checking is not
as satisfactory as drilling, &C
cording to specialists of the
United States department Of ag-
riculture. Plant right at first
plant the extra amount of seed
at first, for replanting means ad-
ditional work, late planting, and
uneven and late maturity. Drill
ed corn is easily thinned. Har-
rows or cultivators can be used
in thinning by driving across
the corn rows. Without the loss
of time, the thinning can proceed
for several weeks while the corn
is being cultivated and Is grow
ing, but replanting is altogether
unsatisfactory and usually I'M
profitable.

There is nothing for 1t but to knit
and knit and then knit some more
and carry on. She who does not must
be forever explaining why not. It's
an obligation and all that we have to
show that our hearts are in the right
place are knitting needles, knitting
bags and such things.
The four hundredth pair Of socks
may prove just a little monOtonOus,
but there are new knitting bags to
add the spice Of variety to our daily
lives. At the ribbon counters they
are showing some immensely clever
mes along with other work bags and
~"catch-alls." Those who spend their
time thinking of new things in bags
have grown to be such adopts that
life at the ribbon counter promises
to become one continual round of
Joyous new bags-frOm now until the
end of the year. Then-unless the
war Is %over-they will begin all I've
again with 1919 knitting bags.
A new arrival that charms every
one Is a knitting bag that looks like
a little umbrella. 1t Is made of silk
or strips of ribbon, sewed together
and cut Into a circle. The circle Is
cut out In six scallOps at the circum-
ference and the points of these seal
lops are sewed to the ends of the
narrow strip that forms the handle
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-06-21

three scallOps at each end of the
strip. Then the handle is slipped
through IA small slide made of the
ribbon and when 1t is drawn through
the bag falls In the form Of an um-
brella. The tassel Is sewed at tho
center of the circle of silk.
Work bags that will serve for
knitting as well as other kinds OF
work are made of strips of plain
and brocaded ribbon sewed together
l%engthwise like that shown at The
right Of the umbrella bag. The top
Is cut in scallops and draws up on
narrow satin ribbons that run through
a casing sewed along the base Of h
scallops In the plain ribbon. Small
rings sewed at the sides of the bro
caded ribbon are covered with cro-
chet silk and the narrow ribbon hang
ers pass from the casing through
them.
Below this bag n smaller working
is gathered over large glass rings. It
Is made Of plain satin ribbon Joined
with shlrrings over cord and finished
with silk ~tassels. The bag at the
right is made of narrow strips OF rib
bon feather stitched together. Its
mouth is n small embroidery hoop so
1t is always open and ready to catch
what may be dropped into 1t. 1t
hangs from four cords Of silk and IL
finished with a tassel.

Some time before the days of mid
summer have really arrived, merchants
assemble stocks of silk street suits,
ready to be presented when the first
hot day comes. These midsummer
suits are almost untrimmed, but are
carefully designed and distinguished
by smart style-tOuches and niceties Of
finish that place them close to the
formal suit class. Clever women
sometimes take their graceful but
plain suits and tone them up with a
little effective hand work, but ever
without that. they are equal to almost
any demand.
There are many pretty suits Of heavy
taffetas and Of gros-de-londre In the
displays. One Of the new taffeta suits
IL shown in the picture and it could
hardly be simpler or palmer, but it is
remarkably good style. The o opens

styles which were open to the waist

The NEW LIFE
BY ZOE ADKINS
Of the viuiIantes.

This Is an Intermission: Time stands
still,
And we-as lost as children In a haze
To take from some heritage Of other
days
Forgotten faith and unsupported will;
We gone back, like children. to our
knees,
And we have learned the sad and splen-
did pride
OF those whose dearest gloriously died.
Knowing our own face Death across the
seas.
Oh, after this-when joy-bells ring out
peace,
And home our war-tired heroes come
again,
Shall we not vow ourselves, when war
shall cease.
To a new life. and prove that not in
vain
We saw the Prussian sword drawn from
its sheath
And neutra lands-and children-fall be-
meath?

tons, and a belt OF the silk. These
belts, in many silk suits, extend around
the waist in the most straightforward
and matter-of-fact manner which Is
another point Of departure from
style In cloth suits. The most popular
colors are navy, taupe and black, but
light colors, as sand gray or white
have a daintiness that compensates
for their being shorter lived.
