WEARS BLUE JEANS TO CHURCH
Denver Millionaire Saves Money to
Buy Liberty Bonds.

By Associated Press.
DENVER. Cola. May 31.-Edwin A
Brown, Denver sociologist and reputed
a millionaire, author of stories of men
who are down and out" as a meas
ure of war time economy has an
nounced that he will wear only suits
of blue jeans until the war ends. He
already has appeared in his new garb
at two Sunday services at the First
Presbyterian Church, one of the most
fashionable in Denver.
Mr.. Browns first appearance at
church caused more than ordinary at
tention to his clean and neatly ironeG
war suit" 1t drew almost as much
attention as the sermon. his fellow
parishioners said.
Mr.. Brown says he made the change
from the conventional clothing of a
man of his position, to be square with
his conscience"
1T was one way l found of purchas-
ing a Liberty Bond" he said. "A suit
of the best cloth costs as much or
more than a Liberty Bond l felt
that the boys in the trenches give no
thought what they wear or eat and
that 1 could do likewise, and use the
difference in the cost of my clothing
in buying bonds"
The Denver man has two suits of |
material. One he calls his society |
suit" This one always is neatly laund-
cred The other, of the same material, |
he uses for work in his war, garden. !
1t is Of the same material only not so
well irOned. 1t consists OF trousers
and jumper, of the pattern worn most
ly by railroad engiEeman and machin-
lists.

BERRY PICKING NO SNAP
St Louis Reporter Describes Work
In Fields.

In Fields.
Berry picking is no snap, according
to an article in the ST. Louis Star de-
scribing conditions among the 500
women who are picking berries near
Sarcoxie. The Star bases its decision
upon the first hand testimony of Miss
Clara Somerville, reporter who has
just returned to St. Louis after
strenuous few days in the berry fields.
The girls have to work against a hot
sun, blue racer snakes, and morning
dew. Then they come in from work
with aching body they are handed out
scientific rations. which free them
from all danger of gout. Only the
fact that they are anxious to help save
the berry crop, and also that they will
never admit they have difficulty in
doing mans work, keeps them at it,
But they intend to stick it out; some
will stay all summer.
Thirty of these enthusiastic gath
ers are University girls. They were
chaperoned by Mrs. Walter McNab
Miller, whose picture appears in the
Star. Various motives lead them to |
undertake the work, besides the main /
one of saving the berry crop They re-
joiced at the chance to escape from
those dreaded finals Here was an

ed must choose between military serv-
ice and effective employment.
We must make amends for the
scarcity of men in industry induced
by the army draft by concentration of
the remaining labor on necessary pro-
duction.
One of the criticisms of the draft
has been that it took men from useful
work. Under the new arrangement,
exempted men will of necessity take
their places. The new ruling is time
ly and practical

DISABLED MEN AND INDUSTRY

The members of the National Asso-
citation Of Retailers at their recent
convention were united in their be-
lief that every effort should be made
to give disabled soldiers a place in
industry when they return, that they
may be self-respecting and self-sup-
porting
And more than this, careful investi-
cation has been made of factory condi-
tions and it has been found that there
are numerous jobs in every factory
that crippled soldiers may hold. Also.
the bulk of evidence so far collected
proves that the restoration of Grip
pied soldiers to industry can be so
worked out that it will be a sound
business proposition.
"A sound business proposition" :"
Such a backing is just what the dis
abled soldier needs.

AYAUNT. KISSING.

1t was a hot July afternoon anC
they met each other on the street
They were. the kind of women who
wear pale hats and insist on white
silk gloves in warm weather. And
they kissed each other, a moist per-
spring kiss, to be expected from the
cuk that believes in osculation at
every chance meeting, whether the
victim is of the same mind or not.
Now this manner of greeting may
suit Europeans, with whom it is a
sort of fetish-they have done it al
ways and are used to it. But in the
average, healthy, strong American
woman of today it breds red hot re-
belIion. Aside from the influence of
propaganda apropos the interchange
of labial microbes, they abhOr the
ceremony as a physical displeasure,
and a violation of what should be
held sacred for those we love and
reverence, to be given sparingly. They
look on promiscuous kissing as maw-
kish sentiment and sympathize with
the man who wrote:
Friend. should 1 meet you whom
I have not seen
For years l think.
l shall expect you rapidly, ween,
To buy a drink
Or else clasp my hand in strong
embrace,
Then let it drop;
But if you try TO kiss me on the
face
I'll call a cop"
The anti-kisser would rather shake
hands, firmly and heartily. There is
as much expression in a handshake
as in 4 kiss, so she looks out for the
limp hand or its opposite, the stiff
stick. She cultivates the expression
Of her handshake and makes it a joy
to give and receive.

RIGHT Care for Woolens
Blu Mrs. Christine Frederick,
The DISTINGUISHED Authority on Household Efficiency

pin it horizontally, which will thus In
crease the width. Into whatever form the
garment is stretched while wet 1t VIII
naturally dry. A great deal OF shrlnkage
of wool clothing is due to faulty stretching
rather than anything else.
To wash successfully sweater, child's
coat, leggings or shaped articles, do not
rub in parts or little by little, but try and
keep the entire garment together, SO that
the weight of one part does not drag, and
thus pull it out Of shape. Do not wiring
even with the hand. Squeeze as much
water as possible out by pressing on
board, and keep the whole article in
heap.
Cover the kitchen table with light pad
fastened on with thumb tacks.' On this
lay the partly dry garment. Take great
care to keep the bottom edge straight and
lay the corners square. Be sure that the
sleeves are stretched to the correct length.
Place the flaps Of the pockets straight and
so that they do not sag. Then, with large
headed pins, pin the entire garment onto
the pad and allow to dry. If the day is
sunny and warm it may be dried outside,
but generally near a radiator or stove
where the drying can be done slowly and
evenly is preferable. On no account
should such shaped articles ever be hung
up to dry, as this stretches them badly.
When the article is dry it may be
brushed over with a clean whisk broom
or hat brush to raise the nap and make 1t
appear fluffy again. This is particularly
true of long-haired coats and leggings for
children. Some articles of wool, as
blanket or heavier quilt, can even be
whipped with a beaten for the purpose OF
making them fluffy. In some cases, also,
wooden garment may be passed over light
ly with a warm iron, without any pressure,
merely to prevent it from looking so
rough. In general however, woolens
should never be really ironed, merely
pressed, as even low heat scorches wool
fbres quickly.
Children's caps or any rounded article
should be stuffed with clean cloths while
drying to retain the shape. In every case
it is the thanksgiving Of woolens as well
as the hand-washing that makes for good
appearance, as thus far no machine
washes woolens successfully. and it is the
finger manipulation and dizziness which
gives good results.
To make an excellent washing solution
shave a small cake of white soap, dissolve
in water and heat at a low temperature.
When cold add boraX. Use small quantity
in warm wash water.
Another good solution calls for a large
cake of white soap, four quarts of water,
two tablespoonfuls of borax and a cupful
