WORK sLAcKERs.

President Wilson has endorsed the 7idea of law in every state which will make the idlers work. This is in ap- proyai of the step which has been taken in several states to overcome -the work stacker and to make every --one live up to the slogan. Work or Fight"
 er Maryland, New Jersey and New York have passed laws dealing with this matter and the need of such ac- tion is so apparent that the other states of the Union ought not to re- quire any urging to adopt similar -icgisistion. This is a time of all stimes when our full man power should be brought into action. With the de- mand for workers what it is there Fought to be no one, regardless of his position in life, who, if he is physi- cally able. should be willing to shirk what hs can do in the way of con- Htrlbuting to the nations needs, and lthere is much which the skilled and sths unskilled can be employed at.
 With a few states passing legisla- ton against the work stacker, it car be appreciated that the same condi- -tions in other commonwealths ought 10 be changed. Unless there is somt sort of uniformity in regard to this Legislation it can be appreciated that many loafers will seek the state where work is not obligatory. but witt all states insisting that all who art sabie must work all avenues of es. cape will be blocked. It is entirely possible that many states already have laws which will cover this sit. uation, and if that is the case ther, ought to be every effort made to SC, that they are enforced.

 It is charming used in an all blue dining room with white painted wood- work and furniture. Or it might be used in a dining reomwith gray walls. blue hanginss and furniture of mas hoeany. or in a dining room done in blue, and tan.
 Tn room with this color scheme there was a golden tan wainscoting, a blue green and tan foliage upper. a cream ceiling blue rug and oak fur niture. And in an absolutely neutra room, blue and white china can be used.

MIR. FoRp's CANDIDACY.

Henry Ford has come into great prominence in this country in the past several years because of his in- dustrial efforts, He had shown him self to he a great man in the manu- featuring line and he is now turning His knowledge and ability to the best of use in connection with the conduct of the war. He has however advanced some strangs notions such as the de- termined effort which he made in be- half of his peace undertaking which cost so much and fell so flat. It was following that that he considered that he better confine himself to manu- featuring, and for much the same req sons there are those who feel much the same way at the present time about his decision to engage in npii- ties
 It is not therefore strange that so much opposition has been aroused to His candidacy for United States sena- tor from Michigan, even though he declares that he is to enter the race for political honors from that state al the request of President Wilson. It Is well understood that MT. Ford is deeply interested in government con- tracts, and yet it is provided by a federal law that such contracts can not be given to federal office holders Whether this can be gotten around by the fact that he has the contracts be- fore he gets the office remains to be seen.
 It is quite evident; however, that his announcement has caused much opposition in democratic and repub- iican circles and perhaps the greatest surprise of all this is that MT. Ford would want to dip into politics at this stage in view of his total inexperi. ence. Yet that may be the whole req son.

WAR
PRIMER
Chateau-Thierry,

Chateau Thierry, one of the ob- jectives in the recent German offen- sive, is the subject of the following war geography bulletin, issued today from. the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society:
 Chateau Thierry. situated on an emil nence on the north bank of the River fMarne. has been the storm center of battle for many centuries. It was in this neighborhood that Napoleon defeated the Russo -Prussians just 104 years ago; it was sacked in 1852, during the Frende, the most costly and least necessary civil war in his tory it fell before the army of Elm porer Charles V in 1544. and was be- seized and captured by the English in 1421, just eight years before the spec tacular advent of Joan of Arc on the scene of French history
 The founding of Chateau Thierry goes back to the eighth century when Charles Martel. the victor at the Battle Of Tours and savior of Christendonl from the Saracen hordes, built a castle here for the Franklin monarch Thierry ", hence the name of the town
 The famous vineyards of Cham pagne begin at Chateau -ThieFry, and the town is, naturally, a great wine market. Before the war it also en- i jeyed considerable trade in cattle and agricultural products, while it was famous in the industrial world for its
 excellent mathematical and musica 1 indictments. The importance os the l town is out of all proportion to its size, for in 1910 it had not more thar 1 1000 inhabitants
 | Chateau -Thierry is only 5s miles | by rail east northeast of the French capital, being situated on the Easterr Railway, running from Paris to Nancy l Like it's sister towns of Peronns
 and Ham, Chateau Thierry enjoys ths
 dubious distinction of having served l at one time as the place of imprison. ment of French king. When Charles 1 the Simple, posthumous son of Loui. the Stammerer, was hard pressed b. 1 his enemies he turned to Herbert Count of Vermandois. as his frient and protector, but the latter betrayed
 him and placed the monarch in con finement here.
 "The ruins of Charles MartePs castl,
 still crown the hill which dominate:
 Chateau -Thierry. It is approached b, a flight of 1o2 steps.
 The most famous native son of tn town was Jean de La Fontaine tn noted poet and fabulist who was borl
 in 1921, in a house still standing an,

WASHABLE WALLS.

Why should children prefer to write on immaculate walls rather than on
 writing paper? Because, first, their mothers caution them not to do it., and. second, because the wa1ls are winter and the writing looks better on them than it does on paper But the time has come when the mother need fear for the white nursery walls no longer. They can, indeed, be changed from a source of irritation to educational purposes by means of a
 finish which makes them washable. In other words, all pencil, crayon and pen marks may be washed away
 Consequently. the wall surface is as good a place for drawing pictures or working examples as blackboard. Although the finish Is intended pri- marily for the walls of the nursery. it may be used in the kitchen. living room or other part of the house where children are wont to try out their ar- fistie ability on tae walls.

Women are learning to be careful of gloves these days. One may not pick tip pair of white kid dress gloves for a song. and even the price of dry cleaning has gone up. The best way this year is to purchase sev- eral pairs of really good gloves and make them give the best service by taking infinite care of them, repairing the least rip instantly, by smoothing the gloves out fiat and never rolling them into wad, by protecting them from wet on rainy days and by hav- ing them cleaned before they get so soiled that hard rubbing is necessary. Shoes also will receive extra care and attention this year. Every pair will be neatly treed while not in use, oil will be rubbed into the leather to keep it soft and pliable and shoes will be exchanged for slippers the moment one comes into the house. The heavy laced sport shoes for rough weather wear will stand much hard usage, but dainty buttoned boots for formal wear should be carefully protected by rub berS when pavements are damp.

 The war labor board after consid- ering this matter has suggested that the company is not bound to recognize such a union and that all disputes be adjusted by the board. This would not prevent the organization but in agreeing to accept such a suggestion the teiegraphers have agreed not to resort to a strike. The Postal con- pany has accepted the. war boards ad- vice, the threatened strike has not been called and the decision of ths Western Union is awaited in view of the presidents declaration that the war labor board is the supreme au- | thority.

4 NEW APRON.

It was a pretty apron that the hostess slipped over her and fast ened about her before sine van ished into the tiny kitchenette to pre- pare a festive Sunday night supper. And, when one examined it closely, it was really quite simple. The ma terial was linen crash which, as most heusekeepers know. is not very wide. only eighteen inches or so, i1 fact. It was cut so long in front that it reached nearly down to the hem of the dress, while at the back it was gathered into a two or two and a half inch belt at the waist. Tn front it was gathered slightly into the belt, which was fastened at one side with large button covered with the crash. For the neck opening a hor- izontal oval was. cut large enough to allow the apron to be slipped over the head without disarranging the half This, like the lower edge of the apron was finished off with buttonheling in coarse mercerized cotton of Chinese blue. In the middle of the front was a bluebird design embroidered in the same kind of cotton A smaller de A smaller design in blue adorned the button

STOP THE MEAT EATING.

A special drive is being made on the part os the federal food adn1inis- tration just now to conserve on beef. We have a greater quantity Of beef in cold storage now than we did a year ago at this time but the demands up- on our supply are constantly growing larger. We need more daily for cur troops across the, water who are fast nearing the million mark and when 1t comes to seeing that they have sufh- eient if can be expected that the American people will do their utmost
 It is being asked of the hotel and restaurants that they serve no beef steak or roast beef more than once weekly and that boiled beef be re- stricted to twice a week Of the househelders it is asked that they buy no more than a pound and a quarter a person a week, and that this be con- tinued until September. Special em- phasis is being laid upoan beef at this time and if meat substitutes must be had pork and bacon are suggested.
 There is little doubt but what the people as rule eat much more meat than they actually require, or that as the vegetdrians claim, they would be much rhore healthful if less meat were consumed. Certainly this is the sea- son of the year when most people can get along without it. It Is a time un- der any condition when meat eatins should be light and more stress laid upon vegetables and garden trfick. II rvhE fharofnro tn taa -o1 oy,lx- c1
