Troops In France.

The most remarkable publication
born OF the war appears to have been
"The Stars and Stripes" As Il went
out Of business with the final scat
tering OF Its STAFF In June Its record Is
now open to the public.
The publication was, as Is well
known. the official organ of the Amer
can expedtiOnary forces In France,
and there is no doubt that II lived up
to Its dignity In handsome manner. II
started with a circulation OF 10000,
and this was increased to $4,000 in
less than year. II maintained a
French war orphan fund, to which 45O,.
900 soldiers contributed 2OOO,OO0
francs, and In Its 18 months Of life the
paper cleared 100000 francs.
There are other details of its prog.
ress and Its work, among which Is one
to the effect that It printed 500 poems
by soldiers and rejected 10000
The Editor and Publisher prints an
extended review OF the accomplish
ments of the paper. and from It we
learn that Its staff at one time or an
other contained something like $50
men. Among them were Sergt. Maj.

YOUR ELECTRICAL APPARATUS

Dear Social Corner Sisters: In these days the city housekeeper should un derstand certain things about electric ity in order to run her house efficient ly. For instance she should know that in cleaning her small electrical ap- dish, hot plate and percolator she must. never plunge the entire article in water. This is a mistake which many women make.
 When this is done the water. coming in contact with the current plug con- nection pins. destroys the insulation and may so affect the heating element Cthe resistance wire that changes electricity into heat) as to cause short circuit Also the metallic ex- Eterior surface of. the article might be; electrified on the next using of9~tiaes article and give the user slight shock. In some utensils the heating elements may be removed. but where simply to wash out the interior of the article and see that no water comes in contact with the outside parts.
 Another thing which the housekeep-7 CT should understand about electric ity is the avoidance of "blowing out q fuse When she decides to turn off the current going to an appliance, special switch, she should first diScon- meet the cord at the device itself or at the lamp socket. she should never turn it on by the snap switch of the lamp socket. as this may result in a blown n-out fuse
 When this little tragedy does hap. pen-when she forgets to disconaeet her appliance FIoperly and her ap- pliance no. longer works. or the lights won't hght-what does she do if she is up- tod date? Does she wait until electrician comes to fix it? No. she knows how to fix it herself. This is how she proceeds:
 She goes to the fuse box tthDs consists of lot of small round brass projections, each with a little mica or isinglass cover. in small iron cup board, probably located down cellar. Through the mica or isinslass can be seen a small gray wire:4 these are technically fuses Their function is to act as safety valves. The small gray wire is of such size and mater ial that it will melt and thus break, when it rises to a certain tempera- ture- The more electric current that flows through wire, the warmer that wire gets, if fer any reasoTl> too much current for safety is sent through any wire whatsoever in the
