Housework and Sewing Accom-

How Girls Make Dresses
Easily and Quickly With an
Organization.

cooperative housekeeping clubs
chains of housekeeping and sewing
clubs-have worked great Dement'S IN
one community where it IS Impossible
to secure servants, dressmakers OF
any kind of help at any price. THESE
clubs have been a means Of saving
hundreds of dollars year. ana al
the same time have created feei'hS
of good fellowship among the WON
en- and girls of the community. Co
operative housek eepinG was prac-
tIced in this country to some extent
many years ago as a means or soiv
ing domestic problems, but its merit
were never fully appreciated Until
within the past few years.
A club composed OF three mousse

gether. When they cook. they cook FOR
all three: when they sew. they sew
for all three; the same plan is FOL

visit more or less together and have
had many a good time.
To still further promote the good
fellowship lOea. ali the CluUS DeioHS
to one large club, which meets once
month socially and for a business
meeting and enterta inment. The men
are invited to the monthly social at
fairs. In summer the entertainments
are held outdoors in the form of PIC
MICS and other outings. Talented men,
bers from each club take turns in
getting up the entertainments and So
Gals.
In a few of the more well-to- do
families, where there are two or three
daughters. they have formed a family
club. That is. the daughters have as
sumed certain duties and conduct the
household being paid a salary for
their services One Is cook, another
general housekeeper and a third is
chauffeuse. The mother does her part
as general manager and beautifier
and, of course. can easily find plenty
to do.
1t takes only a few energetic women
to start chain of clubs. After the
start the clubs grow in momentum
and nothing can persuade the women
to go back to the old way of strug-
Cling along alone without help and
at greater expense.

A very high standard is set in this

taught by precept and example to
love all that is best in life. The
privileges and responsibilities of citi-

scene of trouble as fast as his legs
could take him. When he got there
he saw Redtail the Hawk flying up
and down and this way and that way,
as if trying to get away from some
thing or somebody.
For minute Peter couldn't think
what was the trouble with Redtaii.
Then he saw. A -throated and
white breasted bird, having a black
cap and a broad white band across
the end of his tail, was darling at
Redtail as if he meant to pull out
every feather in the latter's coat.
He wasn't afraid and he intended that
everybody should know it, especially
Pedtail. All the time he screamed
at the top of his lungs, calling Red
tail a robber and every other bad
name he could think Of. Not one of
the other birds was brave enough to
join him in attacking Redtail.
When he had succeeded in driving
Redtail away Scrapper flew back and
perched on a dead branch, where he
received the congratulations of all
his feathered neighbors. Scrapper
modestly said that he had done moth

PARIS, June 4.-The bolsheviki
are concentrating their every re-
source of soviet Russia for military
resistance against their outside ene-
mics whose aggression, more than
anything else, has enabled Lenine
and Trotsky to keep the Russians
united under the red flag.
Every man Of military age is
mobilized either for fighting or labor
ing. According to the best available
information, the red army numbers
about 100000.
Some authorities believe the boil
sheviki are over-mobilized as Russia
has always been in previous wars,
but using men in the army prevents
unemployment while so many fac
tories are at standstill.
While passing through various mill
tary camps recently, enroute from
the front to Moscow, I found sol
diers, young, satisfied, well clothed
well fed and we'll paid. Many OF
them were armed with American
rifles and ammunition, sold to the
old government. The staffs appear
ed boyish. I saw no evidence Of the
oft-reported cruel discipline, OF
abused ex-off1cers forced to labor
under threat of death. On the other
hand the army assembled was a huge
group of simple minded, enthusiastic
boys playing at war. Once while
was awaiting orders from division
staff the bicycle courier was over
long in returning. l later learned
that the entire staff had deserted
their posts to quarrel over the privi
lege of riding the bicycle around the
court yard.
The few intellectuals | encounter
ed in the army long for norma
times, but frankly admitted they
would fight under the bolshevilc
rather than permit the white guards
to restore czarism. War enthusiasm
runs high among the Russians. AS q

AMENDMENTS
TO LEAGUE Law
Senator Johnson Does Not
Think California is Given
Proper Protec-
ton.
JAPAN's OPPORTUNITY
When Pact Comes Up In Senate,
League Fight VIII Grow Even
Hotter Than Il Is
Now.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.I
WASHINGTON, June Amend
ments to the league Of nations cove
nant to safeguard Americas and par
ticularly California's interests, will be
offered by Senator Hiram Johnson, he
announced today.
Johnson will seek to amend the
covenant so that Japan cannot put the
California alien land law, immigration
OF Japanese or California school legis-
lation relating to orientals, before the
league.
These questions belong to the peo-
pie of California" said Johnson. They
and they alone have the right to set
tie them. If the league becomes a
fact, Japan will seize an early appor.
tunity to bring the land law and inn
migration controversies before 1t.
And despite what league advocates
say to the contrary, the league will as
sumo Jurisdiction and will pass upon
these purely domestic questions II
they are raised This means that mat
ters which California has clear right
to settle for itself, according to its
own welfare, will be settled by for
eign diplomats, whose governments
have secret treaties with each other.
THE covenant, according to its ad-
vocates, prevents purely domestic
questions being brought before it, but
by an express provision of article
eleven it Is also declared to be the
fundamental right Of each member OF
the league to bring to the attention
of the assembly or the council any cir
cnmstances whatever affecting inter
national relations which threatens to
disturb either the peace or the good
understanding between nations upon
which peace depends
obviously this is enough. The inn
migration and alien land questions
lave already come in that category
ans of course would be subject to
league action. That means the action
not of Americans, but of one American
and a group Of foreigners.
"But there is another provision in
article twelve, which binds the United
States to submit either to arbitration
or to inquiry by the council any dis
pute with another nation likely to lead
to a rupture"
Other amendments Johnson will
offer will include one to provide for a
peoples referendum on declaration OF
war, elimination of article ten, an
amendment to protect the Monroe
doctrine and an amendment to the
peace treaty to modify the Shantung
