AMERICANS DEFEAT

Yankees Beat off Strong Force

previous inexperience, now Is perfect

The Americans met the best picked
troops Of the German army--troops Of
the shock" type, especially trained for
raiding--and beat them at their own
game Of war.
In the hand-to.hand struggle the
Americans lost some in killed and
wounded, including officers. A few
others were reported missing.
After the fight u German bodies
were found in the American trenches,
while about score more bodies were
seen in the snow and amidst the
barbed wire entanglements.
The attack was made in q driving
snowssorm against a salient on the
American front. A heavy lombard

panied the attack. But instead Of find

In announcing the date, Secretary
McAdoo said the amount of the loan,
the interest rate and other features,
such az convertibility of bonds of pre-.
vious issues, maturity and terms Of
payment, are to be determined, and
that new legislation will be necessary

That certificates OF indebtedness as

indication of the interest rate.
How large the loan shall be depends
largely, however, on the fate OF the
pending war finance bill carrying an
appropriation OF half billion dollars,
and action on the railroad bill with
its appropriation of similar amount.
Although Mr.. McAdoo made no spe-
clflc announcement, It is now taken
for granted In official circles that
there will be but one more loan before

Now is the day of all sorts of service
suits-overettes, war overalls, coa and
breeches, mountain suits and others
that mark the departures of women in
to new fields of work and into new
kinds of convenient clothes for outdoor
and even for indoor wear. Meantime
the reliable and time-honored Bingham

NO sign of losing its popularity.

The advantage of leaving the design
ing of children's clothes to specialists
In that line of work is apparent.
They are less apt to make mistakes
than other people are, and only the eff
forts in which they are successful get
beyond the designing room and into
the workrooms of manufacturers of
children's frocks and other garments.
EARLY in July the advance guards Of
the new styles for fall make their ap-
pearance in the large shops and depart
ment stores, and mothers with fore
sight investigate them, either to buy
for the coming season or to become
familiar with whatever new style fea-
lures are introduced.
Those who have their children's
clothes made at home al gather from
these early displays ideas worth copy
ing. The question of economy is one
that the individual must settle for her
self. The simplest cotton dresses can
probably be bought ready made as
cheaply as they can be made at home,
but the better grades in cotton or wool

nations of plain and plaid ginghams are
and always will be good in dresses of
the kind shown above. For kitchen
work designers make shorter sleeves
and plain waists Joined to skirts with
wide belts. The frock illustrated will
do for marketing. Because Bingham is
used for aprons and house dresses Is
no reason to infer that 1t is not made
up into frocks for other wear. Hand
some Bingham frocks, made up with
organdie collars and cuffs or with fine
Swiss embroideries are taking the place
of silks in many a wartime wardrobe.

The working is continued until there
is a thorough and even distribution of

The working of the butter Is a very
important step in the making process
and should receive careful attention.
Too much working is a common fault
In farm-made butter. Overworked
butter has a sticky and salvy body, a
dull, greasy appearance, and gummy
grain. 1t feels warm in the mouth,
sticks, and dissolves slowly. Properly
worked butter has a waxy body and a
bright appearance, and feels cool and
dissolves quickly in the mouth. But
ter has a proper grain If a slab breaks
when bent at an angle of about 40 de-
grees and the broken surface has the
appearance of broken steel. In ad-
dition, overworking butter Injuries its
keeping properties.

DAIR
ACTS
OBJECT OF WASHING BUTTER
Proper Way to Remove ButtermGIk Is
When Butter Is in Small Granules
Use Pure Water.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The object of washing butter is to
remove the buttermilk. The only way
that this can be done properly is to
wash the butter when 1t is in small
g%ranules so that the largest possible
surface Is exposed to the water. To
try to remove buttermilk by working
1t out of the butter is not effective;
moreover, the excessive working in
jures the grain n body of the butter.
While the last of the buttermilk is
draining off the wash water should be
prepared. Only pure, clean wash wa
ter should be used, and 1t should be
twice the quantity of and at about the
same temperature as the buttermilk.
The water should be placed in n pail
or other receptacle and its tempera-
ture determined with a thermometer;
IL necessary it should be tempered by
the addition of either warm water or
ice. If the butter granules are too
soft or too lard the temperature of the
wash may be either n few degrees
warmer or colder than the buttermilk.
Warm water has the same effect upon
the body of the butter as high churning
temperatures, whereas cold water
makes the butter so hard that it can be
worked only with great difficulty, and
If very cold the proper incorporation
of the salt is practically impossible.
After the buttermilk has been drawn
off the cork is replaced n One-half
the wash water is poured into the
churn. The cover of the churn is then
replaced m the churn given about
four rapid revolutions. The wash wa
ter is drawn off and the washing re-
peated. Two ~washings are usually suffi.
cient, the second wash water when
drawn off usually being almost perfect
ly clear.
While the wash water is draining off
the worker should be rinsed again with
hot water followed by a thorough rims
ing and cooling with cold water. This
must be don Immediately before u.s.
ing, because If the worker is slightly
dry the butter will stick to it. The
lever worker is widely used and gives
satisfactory results, though other types
do just as good work.
The butter, which is still in the gran
ular condition, is removed from the
churn with the ladle and placed in
a convenient receptacle for weighing
The old-fashioned butter bowl is con,
venient, and this Is the only use thai
should be made of 1t. The butter
having been weighed the quantity o
salt is weighed, and this should b
calculated on the basis of three
fourths of an ounce for each pound o
butter. The quantity may be varie'
to suit personal taste or the require
ments of the market. The best grad
of butter salt or table salt should b.
used. The butter is placed upon tn
worker, spread out about two inche
thick, and the salt, free of Jumps, sift

The rolled collar, Of white, ties with a

course, such a skirt must be narrow.
Il would be a horror Of sagging lines
after few times Of wearing II 1t were
full. But It must be a nice problem In
Knitting to adjust 1t to the figure so
that It shall not curve in in all the
wrong places.
Our skirts are again scanty and
straight, but so far they disguise rath-
or than reveal the lines Of the figure.
When narrow skirts were in before,
careless cutting and inexpert draping
often had results which were unfor-
tunate, to say the least. A. skirt of
knitted wool might easily repeat these
indiscretiops; so unless woman has
graduated in the mysteries of knitting
and purling she had better not try to
solve one for herself.
