TRIMMINGS ARE EASILY MADE
Decorations for Lingerie or chiIdren's
Garments May Be Applied With
Aid of Machine.

A neat, inexpensive, easily made
trimming for lingerie or children's
garments may be made by threading
the bobbin of sewing machine with
rope silk or any very heavy thread
In dainty, boil-proof color and using
ordinary sewing cotton in the reedle.
Stitch near the edges of the bands,
yokes, etc., having the right side of
the garment toward the cloth-plate.
The effect is very pleasing.
Another attractive decoration IS
pade by drawing a thread of mate
rial and weaving into the space thus
made colored thread somewhat heav-
Ter than the one drawn. When the
end of the space Is reached, French
knot or a satin stitch dot may be
used as q finish. Threads may be
drawn to form geometric pattern or
may be spaced evenly and placed in
parallel rows. The result is at once
unusual and charming.

Use the Mind PronerIx.

Some people have to be entertained
all the time. They must have some
body to put interest into life for them.
Hours spent alone are eternities. Wise
folks keep quiet about this. Only the
rash confess to the world how empty
their souls really are. They do 1t be-
cause they have no idea what 1t all
means. There will need to be eterna:
vaudeville or some other show to make
them at all comfortable. And the
hours spent add nothing to their per-
sonal growth. It's not what enters the
ears that adds to life. That may have
little or no meaning. It's what the
mind appropriates and remakes with.
In itself that adds to life. And it's the
ability to keep the mind constantly
employed that makes the hours fly.
It's the same ability to use the mind
that will fill eternity with pleasure.

HOW A MAN PICKS A. WIFE
Some Conclusions That Have Been
Reached by the Registrar at the
Boston City Hall.

Edward w. McGlennen, registrar at
the Boston city hall since 1900, who
keeps record of that city's marriages,
has found In his study of the subject
of selection that association deter
mines q mans course In the selection
OF his wife, and when you have chosen
your vocation you have automatically
observes the New York Herald. Mr..
McGlennen has found that tailors mar
ry tailoresses, longshOremen choose
mattresses, many employees and clerks
marry stenographers, while profession
al men more often pick their wives
from the girls in society in which they
move.
After eighteen years Of daily obser-
vatiOn of the way and habits Of pro-
spective homemakers, Mr.. McGlennen
has come to the conclusion that prox-
Unity is the chief determining factor
In mans choice Of a wife.
In the long and voluminous marriage
records the various averages of the
different vocations show that chauf-
feurs and cooks are attracted by do
mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and
milliners incline toward still closer re-
lationship. Salvation Army men choose
Salvation Army lassie, the sea cap
tain picks good housekeeper and
home body, while seamen generally
fall in love, when ashore, with wait
resses who serve their meals. Mr.. Nc
Glennen believes that good looks and
good clothes are not such an impor-
tant factor as generally believed-it
Is all matter of environment. The
telephone operator is favorite with
the soldier, also the nurse who min
listers to him when wounded. Lunch.
room proprietors more often marry
their cashiers, and so it goes on.
What puzzles Mr.. McGlennen, how
ever, is why a mariner chose dent
lists assistant as life mate and how
a street car conductor came to pick
out an actress for his wife. These are
exceptions to the general rule.

Coats for Young Girls
Shepherds Plaid and Wool Fab
RIGS Are to Be Favorites.
Taffetas In Wide Range Of coIors and
Shades-Navy ard Tan Are Also
Popular.

The most important item In the
spring outfit Of every young girl is
the separate coat For several years
washable dresses have been preferred
for girls under six, regardless Of sea-
son. Therefore few radical changes
are noted In dresses developed for
these junior citizens. or course, every
season brings It's novelties, changes
in fabric, color and color combina-
tion, uut actual style changes are so
few that cotton wash frOck made
for summer wear may appear with
equally good effect during winter, or
vice versa.
Spring naturally makes the heavy
winter coat an impossible garment.
Therefore the new spring coat Is TN
all-important item of the little girls
wardrobe.
During the coming spring taffeta
and shepherds plaid wool fabrics will
unquestionably be the favOrite ma
terials for the development Of little
girls coats. Taffetas appear In a wide
range of cOlors and shades. Navy, of
course, Is good, tan shades are ex-
tremeiy popular and the light blues
such as French and soldier blue, also
are favorites.
These little coats are usually made
with a normal waistline or with
waistllne trifle higher than normal.
There Is always a waistline. The
straight coats make their appearance
TOR older girls and for women.
Shepherds plaid wool fabric makes
an extremely chic little coat and one
That Is always serviceable.
The sketch gives a suggestion for
smart coat for a girl of six or eight
years. The belt may be Of patent
leather In either red or black, the but
tons, of course, being selected to
match the shade of the belt. The coat
Is finished at the neck with a. collar
of plaid over which Is laid a de-
tachable collar OF white satin, georg.

Very Poor Lubricant.

AANaa~
Very Poor Lubricant.
"oil, diluted with gasoline, becomes
a mighty poor lubricant and will
leave the cylinders dry II allowed to
continue unchecked. This will cause
wear and necessitate the replacing of
some vital part of the internal mech
anlsm Of the motor. Wrist pins, CYL
tnders and plstons are very apt to suf-
fer from this gasoline leakage-with
great danger Of burnt out connecting
rods and main bearings.
motorists can avoid this trouble
and gain assurance Of perfect sea;
between piston and cylinder walls by
the use of good motor oil, Of course,
and the frequent draining Of the oil
In the crank case.
'If owners will drain off the old oil
In crank case often-say once every
two weeks In cold weather, and once
a month during the summer--and re-
plenish with fresh oil, there need be
no fear of the oil deteriorating and
losing its original lubrlcatlng qualities.
Five dollars spent this way may save
a bill Of from fifty to one hundred
dollars In a season for necessary re-
pairs. The frequent changing Of oil

seven months would not amount to the
price Of one piston-and 1t only takes
ten minutes time to make the change"

Don't marry in the hope that you
may ride In a golden" automobile, or
that you may have ice cream for des-
sert every day. Those are not the
things that count. Don't marry for
the sake of living In a hubby-to-be's
fine five-story house, or for the sake
of becoming part owner In his pros
porous business. Watch out for the
string.
Hubby-to-be may offer you his fine
house as a home before you are mar
ried, but afterward he may expect
you to run 1t for him as boarding
house. Hubby-to-be may offer you be-
fore you are married a partnership in
his fine, prosperous business, but af-
terward he may expect you to sink
your precious savings into 1t and lose
them all.
Watch out for the string when you
marry man for the material good
you may expect to get out of the
match. II you have your eyes open
beforehand you may learn that mar
riage founded on dollars and cents Is
a delusion and a snare. The woman
who marries for the sake of having
the world with fierce around 1t gem
orally loses-in the end.

ADJUSTMENT OF CARBURETOR
Necessary to Insure Gasoline Economy
Rich Mixture viii Cause
Loss Of Power.

Keep your carburetor properly ad-
justed to insure gasoline economy. A
rich mixture will overhead the engine
and cause carbon In cylinder heads, be-
sides losing power. A lean mixture
will give loss Of power and may set fire
to the carburetor.
To test for rich mixture open the air
valve slightly, admitting more air. If
the engine speeds up the mixture Is
too rich. Close down slightly on spray
nozzle or low speed adjustment.
To test for lean mixture pull out
the choke knob on dash a short dis
tance. II engine speeds up the mix
ture- is too lean, and needs to have
the low speed adjustment opened
slightly.
Having adjusted these to your sat
isfaction throttle down engine and
then open throttle suddenly. Engine
should pick up speed smoothly and
rapidly and should not .backfire ut
carburetor. II 1t backfires the mix
ture should be made richer fromshigh
speed adjustment.
In winter the mixture should be
slightly. richer. but the above tests
should be used to make sure the
change is in the right direction and
that the mixture does not become too
rich.

PLAYED HIS CAME
BoIsheviki Easily Fooled by Amer.
ican Business Man.
RevoIutionists Unable to See That
They Were Being Led On When
All Their Extravagant De-
mands Were Acceded To.

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler tells a
story about how an American busi-
ness man solved the bOlshevist prob
| lem In Petrograd, at least as IL applied
| to his affairs. The Columbia univer-
sity president says he has 1t directly
from the American concerned. Here
| 1t is:
An American, head of large firm
In Petrograd, branch of an American
business house, was sitting in his Of
flee pondering on how he could close
up the business and discharge his Rus
sian employees without causing trou-
BILE. The revolution had precluded
all chance of doing more business.
AS he was thinking over this prob
lem the door opened and three of the
employees entered.
"We have decided" said the spokes-
man, ito apply the soviet principle
to this business"
"All right" said the manager, that
seems to be the custom here. What
do you want me to dO?"
"First, we want you to double our
wages"
"AlI right. Everybody would like
double wages"
"Then we want month instead Of
two weeks vacation a year."
That's fine; myself like months
vacation"
"And for the months vacation we
want the pay double again."
"Now, l never thought of that. But
now that do it's true that on vaca-
tion 1t is nice to have lot of money.
Wen do that too
"Now that those things are decided
we must tell you that we won't need
you as manager any more"
II certainly never thought of that.
But am responsible to the stockhold-
ers In the United States. This will
never do"
"We thought Of that, too-about the
stockholders. So we have decided to
elect a manager and to have him sit
here with you and tell you what to
do"
snow, that will be fine. That's all
right. You do that"
So the manager was elected and he
occupied desk next to the American
and told him what to do. At the end
of the first week the wages were
doubled. The soviet manager pre-
sented memorandum 70 the Ameri-
can manager.
"What's this?" said the American.
This is my bill for my salary as
manager" explained the Russian
workman.
mo, l can't pay that. You see, I
am paid by the stockholders in Amer
lea. l am elected manager by them.
You were elected manager by the
workmen here in Petrograd. You
must be paid by them"
"Oh, mol"
"Oh, yesW
The men struck at the order of
their soviet manager.
And the American closed up the Of
fces and returned to America.
His problem had been solved with
out any disorder and with only the
loss Of an extra weeks wages.

Cause Of Leakage.
"Gasoline leakage Is generally
caused by a certain amount of mix
ture which is not burned and finds It's
way into the crank case, dllutlng the
oil and destroying its lubricating quail
ties from 10 per cent to 80 per cent In
from two weeks to u months time, de-
pending upon weather conditions. This
means that on the compression stroke
some of the gaseous mixture from the
combustion chamber leaks past the
piston rings and condenses In the
crank case. This action Is due to the
fact that the oil does not perfectly
seal the space between the cylinder
walls and the piston rings. In some
instances this leakage has been so
marked that oil taken from a crank
case, due to the large amount of gaso-
line present, exploded when touched
with match.
"Of course 1t Is obvious that gaso-
ine Is not a good lubricant. And II
does not take much speculation to de-
termine what will happen to motor

used It should be soaked thoroughly
In cylinder oil and covered with fine

WILL CONTINUE
 TO MAKE AND
 SELL 2.75 BEER

Louis Kutscher, head of the Home Brewing Company, when informed of the decision against 2.75 per cent. beer stated that his company would continue to make and sell 2-75 per cent. beer until unofficial notice from some one in authority had been re- ceived to stop the manufacture. And then" said MT. Kutscher this after noon,'' we will decide what will be done after that. I had not known of this decision until I was told of 1t by the reporter and there Is not time enough to make plans as to future policy"
 The attitude of Mir. Kutscher which is the attitude of brewers in other parts of the state will probably be followed by all of those engaged In the business here in Bridgeport. So long as there Is a demand for 2.75 per cent. beer 1t will be made and the production will probably continue while the fight is being waged in the United States Supreme Court. un- less that court should issue an order restraining the manufa cturers.

Washington, July 24 - Former President Taft, who has written to several Repub- lican Senators and leaders suggesting reservations to the peace treaty which might be acceptable to both sides, has opened correspondence on the subject with prominent Demo- cratic Senators.
 Senator Hitchcock. one of the lead ing spokesmen for the administration in the Senate fight. received a note today from MT. Taft
 The former presidents communica- tion to the Nebraska senator was not made public. but it was understood to be of the same general tenor as those sent to the Republicans gestions for agreement on treaty reservations or interpretations to facilitate ratifi- cation.
 Senator Hitchcock and other ad- ministration senators declared today however, that for the present at least they would continue their efforts for ratlllcat1On without reservations EX- pressing confidence that there was no question but that the treaty would be ratified. they said the fight now cen tered on the resolution accompanying ratification in which would be em- bodied any reservations or interpreta- tions.

City Saved From Ice Famine
 5000 Tons Secured In Maine
WALKER HOPES TO BE ABLE TO PULL THROUGH SUMMER-AMOUNT WILL LAST
 FOR FIVE WEEKS.

Bridgeport has been saved from an fec famine. Harry Walker, president of the Naugatuck Valley Ice Company and admittedly the ice magnate of New England, today announced that he had been able to secure 5000 tons of ice in Maine and that the first ship ment was expected in the city before the end of the week.
 Thereafter the ice will be delivered lore twice a week at the rate of 2o0O tons each week. This amount will last Bridgeport for the next four and one half weeks or practically until the first of September.
 The Maine ice which has been se- cured for Bridgeport was bought originally by the Knickerbocker Ice Company of New York city, also known as the American Ice Company. It was intended for contract sale in Providence, R. l., but the company did such small business in Rhode Island that the handling of the ice was unprofitable and the whole amount was released to MT. Walker.
 In a statement today MT. Walker said. "The 5000 tons of ice which has been secured will last Bridgeport for practically five weeks. Efforts will be continued to secure every bit of ice possible and we hope to be able to pull through until the middle -f esptember,
