THIRD Of GOLD
Bond Issued by United States to
Pay Its War Bills.

Gold is the basis of all credit The
United States is now about to enter
a fifth great popular campaign for the
sale of government bonds to the citi-
zens of the nation America has con-
tracted more than $5,O0O000. 900 of
debt since last November in paying
war bills, and this money must be rails
ed by the people
Every reader of this paper knows
that United States government bonds
are the safest investment on earth.
But many Of them do not, perhaps,
know Just how TO explain their belief.
One OF the reasons why United
States government bonds are the SAT
est investment on earth is that the
United States now possesses one
third of the worlds gold. This has
CONS about as a result of the war 1t
had large gold holdings before the
fighting began in 1914, but since then
the nations of the earth have been
forced to get needed supplies and
maintain trade relations
The Federal Reserve banks do not
hold. probably more than two-thirds
of this nations supply of gold, yet
they have in their reserves more than
one-half as much as the State banks
Of the next fourteen most wealthy ma
tons. and abroad the State banks have
collected practically every gold piece
that the people possessed.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
STANDS BEHIND
VICTORY BONDS

Samuel Gompers, for many years
head Of the labor movement in the
United States and at present one Of
the leaders Of the labor movement at
the Peace Conference at Paris, urges
labor both organized and unorganized,
to support the Victory Liberty Loan.
He says in part:
The Victory Loan is the forerun-
n2r of happier state of society,
guarantee Of peace and tranquility OF
the world the hope of a better day
and a brighter light. | heartily join
with my fellow citizens in urging
every worker and every organization
of workers to take part in this splen-
did effort to finance our 'democracy's
peace with the wealth and savings of
all our people. !avest your savings

Get The HABIT

This year, with battles fought
and won. with Peace the lead
ing Paris style, there comes the
urge to spend for fun, to fall
for Folly's gilded guile. I know
myself the day | heard the ar
mistice' was really signed, I or
dered up a nice hot bird and sat :
right down and dined and
wined-but just as we are crea-
lures all Of habits we allow to
grow, my conscience started to
recall some better way to use
my dough. It's got me. You
have guessed it Thrift = the
yeast that swells the penny's
size, that teaches US to make
short shift of things in which
no value lies. Each morning
when / seek my job, I plunge
at least for one Thrift Stamp;
perhaps l buy it from a COB,
perhaps it's from baby vamp-

working toward the self-same
end-for Thrift. the thing,
which day by day informs us
what we ought to spend.

red-clay areas Of the Fifth District
may expect to see these battle
veterans
The commander Of one Of the tank
squadrons that saw service during the
last drive before the signing of the
armistice was recently telling OF an
instance of heroism he witnessed. The
Germans were holding position at
great cost to the allies. A detachment
OF British tanks was sent out to take
the place. 1t failed. Then American
volunteers were called for, and twenty
tanks went over. Only six came back
but they took the position.
That is the kind of stuff the Ameri-
can troops are made of. Let's show
them that we, too, will see the job
through-that cant" Is left out OF
our vocabulary as well as theirs. We
must put this Victory Liberty Loan
over-way Oyer-to do that. America
expects every man to do his duty.

These tanks, manned by crews who

To say the least, suits for fall have
been presented in greatly varying
styles, much to the satisfaction of
women who aspire to looking more
slender than they really are, as well as
those whose aspirations are all in the
other direction. In spite Of the per-
sistence with which fashion artists
draw attenuated ladies, in writing
poses, for our admiration, women con-
tinue sensible enough to object to
looking angular and skinny. The de-
signers of suits have been kind and
there are new models for the too slen-
der and the too stout figure. The pos
SCISSOR Of model thirty-six," or any
other model of good proportions, can
choose any of the various styles.
At the right of the two suits, shown
in the picture above, is a model that
will simply shave off pounds from the
stout figure. Long and gently curving
lines, almost unbroken from head to
heels, are cleverly calculated to de-
celVe the eye ana smooth out the sharp
curves in stout figures. American wom-
en- having insisted on longer skirts,
Paris accepted their decree, and this
suit takes advantage of the mode to go
to an extreme of it. By this means
the figure is heightened. The coat fol
lows the same strategy and note that
the waist line is indicated as very
long by the group of three narrow
tucks in the back Of the coat that end

applied at the sides is in the same
color as the suit. These bands are a
concession or recognition of the

Automobile engineers In their new

The stethoscope is the instrument
which has found it's way into the.

department of numerous motor car
factories.
The motor of nearly every car is to-
day subjected to the "stethoscope

instrument in examining the heart

with his instrument.
If the results of the examination
are not absolutely satisfactory, the,

The stethoscope tests are conduct

These rooms, though in the heart Of
the factory, are isolated in such a.

stethoscope, the trained ear of the,
mechanic can detect the slightest
unnatural sound in motor.

do not actually widen the figure at all.
The suit is made of dark brown trico-

The model at the left is an interpre-

coat has q full blouse and a skirt

prettily decorated with a round silk

ROPE IS GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Some Emergency Device Is often Nee
essary After Shower to Prevent
Car Skidding.

A summer shower occasionally
makes it necessary for the driver of a
passenger automobile or truck to use
some emergency device to prevent the
skidding and slipping Of the wheels.
At such time it always happens that
the tire chains are in the garage and
some makeshift has to be provided.
One tire company suggests that in
such an emergency a rope wrapped
around the tire at intervals will give
the traction necessary and will do even
less injury to the tires than chains.
The rope should be reeved through
the spokes and tied securely.

The business woman must usually
be her own beauty doctor, and she
need not, regret this if she gives her
self fifteen minutes time at the end
of each day, just before retiring. The
hands, as well as the face and scalp,
must have systematic attention.
Many girls who do office work, or
sell goods over counter, injure their
hands unnecessarily by not wash
ing them often, for much damage is
done the nails and skin by permitting
an accumulation of dirt to remain In
the pores for several hours.
When cleansing hands so stained,
soap and water should not be the first
application, for nothing but soft
grease will be effective.
The finger tips require several extra
strokes. Rinsing must be thorough.
Drying finishes the cleaning, but is not
the simple process that many persons
think, and in the manner of doing it
lies half the secret of having pretty
nails. Each finger must be taken sepu-
rately, the towel rubbed down the
sides, back and front, beginning at
the top.
The common mistake Is to begin at
the finger base and rub up, which sim
ply trains the cuticle down over the
nails and thickens the tips. Every
nail must be wiped individually, com
mencing at the top and pressing gently
down to the crescent at the base of
the nail.

in the fat with two knives until it is
fine and we'll mixed. Reserve a half
cupful of this mixture and add the wa
ter to the rest; roll out a piece large
enough to take the half cupful well
sprinkled over it, then fold sides to
the center, then ends to the center, and
cut in halves. Roll out the under
crust, add the filing and put on the
thinly rolled upper crust, This method
gives a very faky crust with less than
the usual pastry.
Mothers Apple Pie.-Fill the pre-
pared pastry shell with sliced apples,
add two or three tablespoonful of wa
ter and place the top crust. Bake and
then carefully with a sharp knife cut
around the crust and remove the top.
Add sugar, spice, a tablespoonful of
butter and replace the top. This pie
will never run over and lose its sweet
ness on the oven bottom.
Fruit Pie.-This pie is best made
with fresh fruit, but cupful and a
half Of currants, raspberries, blueber-
ries, or, in fact, any kind that has
been put up uncOOked will do. The
recipe calls for one cupful of crushed
fruit, one cupful Of sugar, two table
spOOnfuls, of flour, the yOlks Of two
eggs and little salt; put into the
shell and bake, covering with a me-
ringue made from the whites. The
shell may be baked, the fruit cooked,
then the meringue placed on top and
Drowned and the pie is ready to serve.
Either method will result in a good
pie.
Ethereal Apple Pie.-Bake eight
large tart apples and put them through
a sieve, chill, then add three-fOurths of
a cupful Of sugar and the whites of
five eggs beaten stiff. Add a pinch of
salt to the eggs when beaten. Add to
the apple and bake in a buttered pud-
ding dish. Serve with cream and
sugar. This shell-less pie will be good
for those who cannot enjoy pastry.

Connected With Coil and Battery,
Eliminating Necessity of Leaving
Torch acknowledgements
in Various Shops.

It is the practice in some shops to
leave a welding torch burning with a
small fame when it is not in use, ow-
ing to the time required for lighting
it. Aside from the danger of fire
caused by this custom, it always
wastes more or less gas, which is not
necessary if some apparatus such as
that shown in the sketch is provided.
Arrangement of Battery.
Underneath the bench, in a box
mounted for the purpose, are placed
four or five dry cells, connected in the
usual way to jump-spark coil, such

as used on automobiles or stationary
gas engines. The high-tension termin-
ais of the spark coil are connected to
a spark plug, mounted as shown in
the detail, so that the points are
flush with the bench. In the primary
circuit is connected a push button,
which may be located on the floor,
preferably sunk into it, so as to pro-
ject no farther than the necessary dis
lance for pushing the button with the
foot. The torch is lighted by turning
on the gas and bringing the nozzle
near the spark plug, at the same time
pressing the button with the foot. The
time required for this operation is
practically none, after the workman has
become familiar with the location of
the button and spark plug. In the
upper right-hand corner of the sketch
is shown a simple method of making a
stand or rack for the torch, which will
be handy in connection with the light
ing apparatus.
Safety Most Important.
While the gas saved is perhaps a
small item, the element of safety is
more important, and since the amount
of current used is very small, the APP
paratus will be advantageous in many
shops where the all-around usefulness
of welding torch is appreciated.-C.
