GIMGHAM PLAlDS ARE USED
NeedIework Also Calls for This Popu-
lar Material for Numerous Pur-
poses About the Home.

Everything is taking to Bingham
plaids, even needlework. And this is
not to be wondered at when you con-
slider how neat and symmetrical for
practical purposes the bingham check
and plaid can be. Here 1t is applied
to the end Of a useful scarf or runner
In 18-inch width. The Bingham part
Of it is simply a matter of outlining
those squares with neat stitches in one
color, most likely blue, or any color to
match the general scheme of your
room.
This scarf may be stamped on linen,
If you can affOrd that luxury-or dolly
CLOTH, cotton rep, lawn, batiste, crash
toweling or linene. 1t will not be hard
to do this stamping yourself; merely
repeat the design on each end of the
scarf. In this way you can make 1t as
Tong as you like, and should you not
want an 18-inch width you can reduce
it to 10 very easily by removing the
last row of squares on each edge. The
design remains exactly the same, but
not quite SO wide.
Now as to treatment, you will find
colors the best choice instead of all
white. Let the squares be outlined
with the color you want to empha-
size. Note that the intersections of
these lines are interrupted by a clus-
ter of four small single stitches of an
other color and a knot Of a third color.

FURNISHINGS FOR THE PORCH
Summer Cushions, Among the Most
Important conveniences, Should
Be Made to Withstand Service.

It is time to think of summer fur
nishings, especially those for the porch,
with which even the most humble
house is now supplied. Service is the
first requisite Of the summer cushion,
because it must withstand dust and
rain and general hard usage. For this
reason heavy dark materials and wash
able ones are to be recommended.
Among the wash materials which are
most attractive are the Japanese tow
elings. These can now be bought In
other shades than the usual blue and
white. Brown and white, cool green
and white and gray and white offer
plenty Of variety and chance for set
ting or matching a color scheme. They
wash beautifully and are very reason
able.
For the round mats which many
porches require where the porch steps
are used for seats, stenciled oilcloth is
unusual. The advantage Of an oil
cloth cushion in either black or white
Is that 1t can be wiped off with a
damp cloth or left out overnight in
storm or dew.
Black burlap stenciled makes an at
tractive porch pillow, too.

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Reply Of War Department Official to
Siacker's Request Might Almost
Be Called Caustic.

The following letter, addressed to a
certain branch of the war department,
and dated from a town somewhere in
the West, arrived in Washington a few
days ago:
"Dear Sirs: I am a young man who
would like to get into the fray against
the kaiser and his hordes. / am twen-
ty-one years of age, Of splendid ply
sique, being five feet and ten inches
ip height. I weigh about $50 pounds,
am quite an athlete and a graduate of
the local high school. Together with
these qualifications, I have had con-
siderable experience in business, hav-
ing managed for some time various
automobile agencies. / am quite IA
miliar with many kinds Of automobiles.
81 would like a position in some
branch of the war department as a
typewriter and stenographer."
The officer to whom this letter came
for a reply has seen considerable ac-
tive service, not only in this war, but
In others. He notified his stenographer
that he would write a personal answer
to the young man who desired war
service. A portion of his letter vas as
follows:
young man, your letter has been
received In this Office, and / am writing
you, a personal letter. 1t will be short
and to the point. I have a son. He is
just your age, height and weight. he
has a splendid education and has been
considered quite an athlete. You have
the advantage of him In business; he
has never had any business experience.

-
In 'Donald Thompson in Russian"
the movie photographer tells how he
succeeded in getting a picture of the
car after the revolution had begun.
He went out to Tzarskoye Selo, the
palace near Petrograd where the royal
family were confined, and from a dis
lance saw the car and his son walk
ing In the yard. "The servants must

him that / had met him before In 1915,

was making pictures and the Gamers
was being reloaded so that ! could
put in some new film, several OF the
soldiers came up close, while the car
wal watching how the Gamers was
loaded. They were smoking. One OF
them elbowed the car away and at the
same time blew smoke directly In his
face. But the car didn't show that he
wal annoyed by this. After I had made

He answered 'good-by.' While walk

Sleeveless Coat In VOGUE.

The combination of the sleeveless
coat with long semImilitary cape in
suits, which Is one Of the late spring
style developments, is meeting with
general approval throughout the coun-
try. according to reports from several
New York manufacturers. That the
cape on these garments is detachable
is thought to be one of their most de-
sirable features. This combination Is
also being made up for wear with sep
arate skirts, and seems to be very
popular with women in many sections.

approximately thirty-five hundred

of the Red Cross during the war.

When will it dawn upon the enemy,
says Henry Clews in his Financial Re
view, that continuing this war Is fight
ing for a cause already lost: is head
Ing straight for national suicide; is
reaping harvest of the hatred he has
sown. and rendering a grave interna-
tional boycott more and more newt
able? On the western front Germany
Is simply dashing itself against an
elastic wall, which it cannot break
thru. That wall may stretch or bend
under pressure, but will not break.
None of the German Objective has
been accomplished on this last drive {;
Paris has not fallen, the British have
not been separated from the French nor
driven into the sea. and. if they had
been, it would simply have added to
Germany's list of hollow victories. To
capture Calais might delay but could
not decide the issue. There will be
but one end and that is complete VIC
tory for the allies when the American
army reaches full power, if not before.
American forces are going across tc
France in increasing numbers; so that
henceforth it's real strength will be
felt with increasing intensity.

State Fireman's Association
VIII. Receive $S31.O3.
All Records Broken by COllec-
tons of Last Year.

Kansas fire departments are to re-
ceive an annual benefit fund OF $685.
631.a3 from insurance premiums paid
in this state during the calendar year
of 1917, according to a statement to-
day by w. J. Dryden. actuary In the
state insurance department. Bryden's
statement shows that the fire depart
ments Of the state will this year re-
ceive by far the largest benefit fund
ever paid from the earnings of the
fire insurance companies.
Last year the records for the state
were broken when a fund Of $4,000
was distributed. This year the fund
is $500 in excess of the 1917 total.
Every organized fire department in
Kansas will receive benefits from the
distribution to be made by Dryden and
| a fund of $s31.o3 will go to the Kan
sas Ftremen's association, the Official
state organization.
How Fund Is Used.
The fund is provided for the bene-
fit of the various fire fighting organi-
zations of the state and is used as an
endowment or pension fund for sick
or disabled firemen or for the bene-
mt Of dependents Of firemen killed in
service. Two per cent of the pre-
| miums of the insurance companies in
towns with recognized and authorized
| fire departments il set aside for the
] fund. is paid into the state insurance
department and distributed to the va
| rjous organizations.
| Under the distribution as announced
by Dryden today. Topeka companies
| will receive a total of $4,241.22 from
| the fund.
| A total of 1874 organizations will
receive benefits under the distribution.

Food and dairy products from large
areas In each state that hitherto have
been inaccessible to the larger cities
because of lack of transportation facil-
tiles. will be made available in the fu-
ture according to the plans of the
highway transport committee of
the council of national defense. In
vestigations upon the operation of ru-
raj motor truck lines over the high
ways surrounding the population CEN
tiers have demonstrated several i'm
portant war advantages from the es-
adjustment of this service, In every
section studied where such service is
in effect, farmers Invariably have in
creased the cariety and quantity of
their production. The existing farm
laborer supply is greatly conserved
by relieving the farmer of the task o!
hauling his products to market. The
investigation shows that in some
places the hauling done by five men
with wagons can be done by one man
with truck at many times the speed
by tapping the farm communities
which have no other good shipping IA
cilities. Much of this additional food
is now either wasted or deteriorated
because of poor shipping facilities.
Good roads will make this service
available to every farming community

HAVE BRASS BAND NOW
Topeka State Guard Companies Plan
Battalion Drill Next Monday.

Companies A and c of the state
guard will drill on the state house
grounds this evening at 1880 O'Clock
Company C will meet at the southeast
corner of Eighth and Jackson streets
1t has been decided to have a bat
talon drill of the guard at the fair
grounds next Monday evening, the
weather permitting. At least three of
the four companies will participate.
The battalion will assemble on the
state house grounds at 7:15 o'clock
and march to the fair grounds, headed
by the newly formed battalion band.
About twenty men of the guard who
are musicians have organized a brass
band. They meet for practice every
Wednesday evening at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms. 1t is expected
that the band will inject extra pep"
into the drills and at the same time be
a valuable advertisement for the guard.
