THE SUICIDES STORY

My party, little book. was a
great success. Mollie and Chad
did not come, but, Of course, I
rather expected that. All the rest
came. and II you had eyes, dear
little confidant, you would have
smiled to yourself IL you had seen
Dick as one after another Of our
guests came in.
Everybody was talking about a
suicide which had happened in
the afternoon. A very we'll
known man who had been miss
ing a number of days was found
out in suburban woods, bullet
hole thru his temple.
II never thought that John
Sterling would do such a thing
as that He has always been
something of a wonder, but he is
Immensely rich and had hosts Of
friends. Have the police any idea
as to the cause, commissioner"

it over very carefully. The body
was found at the foot of a tree in
Piney Woods and in tho breast

letter saying that no one was to
be blamed for his death as he had
taken his own life."
II can throw some light on that
matter" said Pat suddenly, "but
it must go no further. This
morning Mrs. Sterling sent for
Miss Elsie. Our society editor
found Mrs. Sterling nearly crazy.
She handed her the following let

WHY Not Adopt Ideas?

For the third time since he has been in office,
Controller Shoemaker is urging the city council to
adopt two money-saving ideas, and the council is
ignoring him.
Shoemaker has repeatedly suggested that a GEN.
tralized city purchasing department would be a
great economy, and has backed his idea with proof.
He has also suggested municipal garage
But the city council, in its usual school boy policy
of refusing to listen to the suggestions OF other city
officials, is not even going to experiment with the
plan. Had one Of the council conceived either idea,
we venture to say there would have been no delay
in his voting to adopt it,
In his annual report for 1916, just off the press,
Shoemaker once more urges the installation of
these two mOney-savers.
During 1916, the city spent $1O3, 55 for sup
plies of every character The money went in small
dribbles from each department. and the city, of
course, paid the going retail prices
A few departments grouped together to buy Of
flee supplies at wholesale, and found that saving
of % per cent was effected Shoemaker estimates
that 10 per cent could have been saved had all the
supplies been purchased thru central agency.
That would have been saving of $4,000 in one
year.
In 1916 the city spent SIC, 1859 SO for auto sup
plies and repairs. In 1917 the amount was nearly
twice this much altho the figures not yet avail
able. Of this total 2743 spent for auto re-
pairs, altho only So TAG worth done by machin-
lists at the small machine shop in the fire depart
ment
Why shouldn't the city do it's own repair work
in the automobile division just as it does in the
light, water, sewer, fire and other departmental
Another great saving could easily be effected.
Shoemaker is to be congratulated for his stub
born attempt to show the city council how to save
money-because he on the right track and the
public knows it.

There are two ways of knitting

There are two ways of knitting
wristlets.
One method makes a 12-inch
flat strip of knitting, folds 1t to-
gether and sews up one seam,
leaving two inches open space for
the thumb, two inches from the
edge.
The better way is to allow an
open space at each end so there
will be no trouble by getting them
on up side down. The other
method uses three needles, max
ing the round wristlets in one
piece like tubing.
Here are directions for the first
method: Each requires one-half
yank of yarn. No. needles are
used for the flat wristlets and
two Iairs of No. 1 needles for the
wristlets made like a tube.
Completed articles should be
sent IL possible to the Red Cross
