Bio Demand for Skirts.

The great retail demand for summer
skirts has cleaned out retail stocks and
showered the manufacturers with du-
plicate orders. Flannels and gabardines
are among the leaders, although linens
and crepes are getting their usual
heavy demand. White is most desired
but the pastel shades are attracting
more than the usual amount of atten-
ton given to cOlored skirts for the sum
ner. The scarcity of silks and the
high prices quoted by jobbers of such
material, will turn to other fabrics, it
is said, some of the business that would
otherwise go to silk numbers.

movement.
Several types Of houses have been
selected, and the plans for these will
be given to own-your-own-hom COM
mittees which are now carrying on
campaigns in more than 40 cities.
These plans are for dwellings that will
best serve the needs of average fami-
lies. Beauty and utility have been
combined in the most practical manner
and the plans are capable of many va
riations. 1t is explained that the pur-
pose is not to interfere in any way
with the work Of local architects by
thus providing government plans, free
of cost, but it is expected that when
the estimates in widely separated
states are compiled the information
will be Of value to prospective home
owners, while 1t will afford compare

ton in many parts of the United
States. The employment of local arch
fleets is advocated.

How to Wash colored Embroidery.
The best way to bleach white goods
having colored embroidery (such as
-doilies and other articles which can
not be boiled for fear the color will
fade) is to wash them and then dry
them in the shade. Put them in an
old pillow-case which has been dipped
in very strong bluing water and thor
oughly dried. Then hang the case,
with the embroidered articles inside,
in the light for several days. They
will be perfectly white and the COL
ored embroidery will not be. one bit
faded
Look After the Smoothing Iron.
After the temper of Il smoothing
iron is spoiled it will never retain the
heat SO well again. Therefore never
let irons stand on the stove when
there is hot fire unless they are
in constant use, and do not allow them
to become over-heated.
When Heating Irons.
Turn an old pan or kettle over IRONS
which are being heated and they will
get not much quicker. This also keeps
the room cooler.
How to Press Black Lace.
To press black lace, sponge with
clear water on the right side until
quite wet, lay right side down on a
black pad, cover with black cloth
and press with hot iron. When this
Is done 1t will be found that the lace
is like new.

FIGURES OF AMERICAS PART IN
WAR PASS ALL FORMER RECORDS
Col Leonard Ayers Prepares Remarkable Statistical Summary
Showing Comparative Costs in Men, Money and Material
for All the Countries Engaged-Cost to the United
States Is s22,OOO,OOOO0o

Washington.-The war cost the
United States directly about $22,OOO,-
100000, or nearly enough to pay the
entire cost of running the American
government from 1901 up to the OUT
break of the European war. For every
hundred American soldiers and sail
ors who served in the war with Ger
many two were killed or died Of dis
ease during the period of hostilities.
The number of men serving in the
armed forces of the nation during the
war was 100000, of whom 100000
served in the army.
These facts are set forth In sta
tistical summary of "The War With
Germany compiled under the direc-
ton of Col. Leonard P. Ayers, chief of
the statistics branch of the general
staff of the army.
This summary, just published by
Colonel Ayers by direction Of the sec
Americas participation in the war
against Germany condensed into less
than $50 pages. 1t is a detailed sum-
mary of American military operations,
and yet the long statistical tables

Col. Leonard P. Ayers is the only Of
ficer from civilian life who has risen
to the position of chief Of division
of the general staff. Before the war
he was director of the Russell Sage
Foundation. He was chief statistical
officer of the peace committee. After
his return here he received the dis
tingulshed service medal.

In the report show:
The war cost the United States con-
siderabIy more than 100000 an hour
for over two years.
Americas expenditures in the war
were sufficient to have carried on the
Revolutionary war continuously for
more than a thousand years at the
rate of expenditure which that war
actually involved.
During the first three months ex-
penditures We're at the rate of $4,000
600 day. During the next year they
averaged more than S22000.0OO a day.
For the final ten months the daily
average was over $44.OOO,OOO.
The total war costs of all nations
were about s1se,ooO,O 100000, of which
the allies and the United States spent
two-thirds and the enemy one-third.

Looking over the newest things in
bathing suits one might easily con-
clude that fair bathers object to get
ting wet and only go into the water to
get cool, or to be in the SWIM with
their sister bathers. What, they really
object to (unless they possess Venus
de Medici figures) is the way in which
bathing toys cling and stick and the
somewhat bedraggled appearance they
are likely to make when they come
out of the water. Nothing escapes the
notice of the keen manufacturers of
bathing toys and they have met this
situation with suits on the order of

an American, goes the honor of having
made the first nonstop flight across
the Atlantic from Newfoundland to
Ireland The Daily Nails $4,000 prize
is theirs.

and II minutes after they left st.

noon. Both pilot and navigator We're
in good spirits, but terribly fatigued.
Every mile of the flight was terrific
battle against the elements. OF the
human qualities that combined to con-
quer the air on this direct transatlantic
route, unshakable pluck was unques-
tionably the decisive factor.
Immediately after landing, Captain
Alcock said:
1--WE were tired, being alone in the
fog and dizzy. Sometimes we found
ourselves flying upside down. having
lost all sense of direction while en-
veloped in the heavy blanket of fog.
Our wireless was useless for the great
est part of the flight. The Wireless
propeller blew off soon after we start
ed from st. Johns. Our receiver was
much damned by strong signals not
intended for u.s.
Both Alcock and Lieutenant Brown
were in good spirits when they made
their landing.

Hog Market Price
Is Too Low, Others
Quote More Money

PORTLAND. March 14.-Portland
is the lowest market for hogs of any
of the big stockyard markets in the
entire country From its proud posi-
ton as paying the highest price, quail
ity considered, of any market in the
United States. the local trade is to-
day down in the gutter, even though
there is an extreme shortage of swine
offerings.
Unusually good demand has been
shown for hogs throughout the coun-
try of late. and prices in other mar
kets have reflected this condition
much more accurately than Portland.
Trade here must wake up to the sit
uation or the supplies of the Pacific
Northwest will be diverted into cham
nels where the growers can secure
better values Shippers are loyal only
to market center whenever that
market center is loyal to the shippers
and the price is considered by shipper
the sole test of loyalty.
