There Is little need to point out to the housewife the high cost of certain housekeeping and laundering essen tials bought in package and bottles. Such items as furniture polish, laun- dry soap, bluing. silver polish starch, etc. seemingly small, mount up dur ing the year, and reach considerable sums during ;he whole housekeeping period.
 1t is now easily possible 70 make many of the simpler household sup plies at home and in large quantities. so as to effect substantial saving. Here are recipes every housekeeper should know and use-instead of spending unnecessary money for com mercial products
 Homemade Furniture Polish.

 1-2 cupful of powdered rotten stone.
 1-2 cupful of boiled linseed oil.
 I-2 cupful of turpentinc.

 1--2 cupful strong solution oSalic acid
 IA cupful wood alcohol.
 1-2 cupfUl cold water mixed with 1 tablespoonful sulphuric acid. Mix well and keep in a tightly corked bot tie, away from heat or fire.
 Floor Wax.
 Melt 1 pound of beeSwaX in an oarthern bowl set in boiling water. When melted remove the wax from the fire and, with wooden spoon stir into it l pint of pure turpentine, and 1-2 pint of alcohol.

able bit of acting is done in the pro- duction by Fred Huntley as Quannah, an Indian chief. Chief Darkcloud, a full -blooded Indian, was to play the part of Quannah, but a few days be- fore the screening of the picture began he was taken ill with influenza and died. There was no other Indian on the reservation with the talent 10 play such a difficult role, so Mir. Adolf had to be satisfied with a white man to play the part. But Fred Hunt@ey, as Quannah, is the most perfect mi tatiOn of an Indian possible. MT. Adolf, who dislikes limitations, con- fessed that even Chief Darkcloud could not have given Quannah q more perfect portrayal than MT. Huntloy does. His makeup as an Indian is excellent and his acting superb.
 Other features include a screaming Vitagraph comedy; Antonio Moreno in a new episode Of "The Perils of Thunder Mountain," and the Palace News Weekly.

 I have your adorable letter and am just too gloriously glad for anything that you're flirting about a bit. I always told you you were wasting the best years of your life in drudgery.
 I recognize that your daddy needs you, and has no one but you But there is a difference between neglect ing him and wearing your fingers off to the knuckles in housework But you don't tell me who the man is! demand to know instantly.
 'Tisn't old Burling, principal of inc High school, is it? Or Sanford, the real estate chap? John Burling's S nice of course, dear, but a dreadful highbrow like that Harvard student at Lively Beach who used to talk airy persifage about the fourth dimension and why Uganda and the Congo Free State should belong to the League of Nations.
 Dick Sanford is duck, as I recall him. But hasn't he 6 small brothers and sisters? You'd wear your wheels off up to the hubs slaving for them. I know YOU.
 But back to my own problems, dear, since you aren't tired of them
 Yes, I talked again with Mary KymbaI. She has been ill, poor thing, for several days. Nothing but the result of what that cat, Anita Corley, did to her-though since our hare-up she hasn't shown her claws.
 Joan, if sacrifice proves love, Mary ha hor for Eric Wallis.
 'I couldn't go back to England cver," she told me in her plaintive voice. i've no relatives except an uncle in India and he would think me better dead than to do what have done. I had a little property, house in Essex, and I sold it when 1 left so as not to take penny ot what belonged to my husband. I am frightened now at what I have done But-there, wasn't any other way nothing else I could do-Was there, Miss Varick?"
 She is terribly disconcerting when she turns her sad eyes on me and hegs for comfort and support.

All fat that can be utilized for fry

there are also bits that can best be
made into soap. A recipe that can be
divided or subdivided follows:
One 10 cent can of lye, pounds OIL

and strained, 1-2 cup of ammonia, z
tablespoons of borax, 6 cups OF water.
Put I've in an earthen bowl, pour on

"Almost all the richer people in
America have won their riches in open

by industry or intelligence or economy,
or all three; and there are indeed
very, very few poor people who need
to remain poor if they display normal
energy or intelligence. The advance
has been so great and the opportuni-

HAWAII TO ASK
FOR STATEHOOD
Bases Claim on Her Splendid
War Record

Hawaii will conduct persistent
campaign in this session of Congress
for admission to statehood. Delegate
kuho who represents the territory IN
Congress, will urge this measure. His
reasons are given in the following an
nouncement:
ut is the psychological moment to
bring forth Hawaii's claim to state
hood. l shall introduce in the house
and persistently campaign for, a bill
admitting Hawaii to the union.
"The facts that go to back up ter
ritory's claim to statehood are with us
in practically every respect save one.
We have the population, the taxable
wealth, the educational facilities, the
registered vote.
I'm these respects we are able TO
make better showing than several OF
the present states of the union.
But they say we have so large an
alien population that Hawaii cannot
be Americanized.. Our war record
answers that. In men and money to
Liberty Bonds We have done more
than our pro rata share.
In War Savings Stamps we have
been allotted a quota of $2,OOO,OOo.
Over 81 100000 have already been
sold, In the past not State has sub
Scrlbed its quota of war stamps, OF
come near it. We will subscribe our
quota and clinch our right to state
hood.
An individual may take not over
Sl'OOO in stamps. We have in HAWAII
hardly 800 individuals or corporations
VINO could take this maximum. There
lore buying $2,000,000 worth Of
stamps will prove that all elements Of
n Our population, and not only few big
men or firms, are behind the govern
hent to the limit"
