ing is q period when they would
like to disappear ct their club or
take refuge elsewhere, far from
the domestic upheaval. Much OF
this feeling is due to the scanty
and unsatisfactory meals e. house
cleaning time. But this need not
be so. If the work is we'll planned,
and not too much attempted in one
day, meals should be as well pre-
pared then as at other times.
It is a good plan to make up
a pot of soup stock in advance. This
can be varied by adding a different
variety of canned soup each day.
A piece Of meat, like a pot roast,
cooked in advance can be used

from that which is worth while saw
ing. And right here 1t may salo
that many women make, the mis-
take of keeping" too many things.
They let their homes become VERT
able Junk shops, not realizing that
they have so much useless truck
on hand until some rummage sale
makes thom aware Of the fact.
ANY woman who has tried a
vacuum cleaner for Spring house
cleaning will certainly realize its
benefits. II she does not have one
herself, IL Is worth while renting
one from some of the various spec
ialty shops which generally rent q
cleaner with attachments for about
fifty cents an hour.
The vacuum cleaner has a tool
especially for cleaning walls, mold
ings, and the inaccessible parts OF
doors. Such a tool, run vertically
I'D and down the walls will clean
them more thoroughly than any
hand, broom or brush possibly can.
Another tool Is made especially
TO clean mattresses, tufted furni-
ture, cushions, etc. After the walls
are finished, run this tool over the
mattress. Few women realize that
much of the fine dust which seeps
on the bedroom door comes from
the gradual crushing Of the filling
Of mattress or pillow. A thorough
vacuum cleaning of any cushioned
or padded pieces win save much
daily cleaning later on.
The cleaning Of paint follows the
cleaning Of walls and the separate
pieces Of furniture. Paint cleaning
Is the easiest Of all tasks If the
worker has two soft flannel cloths,
warm water, and a very soft scour-
ing powder. Dip one cloth in the
water, squeeze dry, cover with
powder and rub lengthwise Of the
paint or in the direction Of the
brush marks. Then use the Sec
ond cloth to wipe dry.
Floors are made Of so many ma
terials that each must be treated
separately. Waxed, vanished and
tiled floors need good soap and
water, followed by an oil treatment
if they are wood.
Preceding the cleaning Of the
floor, all windows should be cleaned
and the individual busting and
cleaning Of tables, bureaus and
other furniture done thoroughly.
A tag system may be used with
great help. Purchase colored tags,
such as come on express parcels
and use them to assist in identify
ing different lots of articles. For
instance, red tags might be used
to designate all parcels and cloth
ing intended for the Red Cross.
Other boxes and bundles, labeled
with a green tag, might go to the
Salvation Army. In moving from
one house to another, one single
color may be given to each room,
and all the pieces belonging to that
room marked with that color. This
will avoid the annoyance Of finding
a heavy box or the wrong piece
left in the wrong place, thus nee
essitating a second removal, pos
sibly after the men are gone away.

THE annual housekeeping Is
q part Of the work Of the
home which should be
planned for long in advance, if
It is to be done with the least effort
and with the least annoyance to
the entire family.
Perhaps the first thing to do 10
to sit down with pencil and paper
and make notes of just what has
to be done and Just how and when
it should be done. For instance,
do any rugs have to be sent to the
cleaners? Must any new hangings
or curtains be measured for? VIII
any Of the furniture need recover
ing?
II helps wonderfully to plan for
these special tasks to be done long
in advance. A month Is none too
much time to allow for special up
holstery work, making Of curtains
and the cleaning Of blankets or rugs
done outside the home. II all these
Jobs are left until the height Of
the busy season, the housekeeper
win find herself doomed to disap-
pointment and delay.
The next step is to see that suf-
fcient soap, cleansers, ammonia,
metal polish, and all the other
cleaning helps are on hand. Moth
ing could be more foolish than to
find when in the midst Of cleaning
a room that there is no more wash
ing powder, or securing soap. It
is very easy to make up a list OF
such supplies and to see that they
are in readiness.
Next, attention must be given to
the kind Of cloths and rags as well
as tools necessary for the work.
II is a good plan to have a bag or
clean white cotton rags for win
dow washing, and a separate sup
ply of soft flannel rags for cleaning
metal and for use as broom covers,
wall cloths, etc. There should be
an ample supply of all of these be-
cause there will be no time to stop
and wash them while the work is
going on.
Another matter to be decided is
whether to clean each room sep
arately, or to clean several rooms
at once. This will depend particu-
larly on the construction of the
house, its size, whether several
rooms open into each other, etc.
It will also depend on the number
Of people who are doing the clean.
ing.
Generally it may be laid down
as a principle that to do each room
separately makes for less confusion
and easier work. The exception to
this is any general process which
includes several rooms, such as
taking down curtains, airing Win
ter clothing, etc.
The best plan is to work down
from attic to cellar. This routing
permits the taking down and out
Of all waste material, refuse, etc.,
without tracking rooms already
cleaned.
No doubt one of the most i'm
portant things in housekeeping is
to sort the waste and cast offs

Squash players who have been kicking the ball around the courts to keep off the surplus flesh since the days when they were very ac- tive athletes started off on their an- nual tournament for the Class B championship at the Harvard Club, in New York. In the gathering there were many old time stars who used to be topnotchers in every sport from rowing to handball, and the veterans of the varsity days worked a lot of strokes that were very interesting for the gallery which watched the play. There were nearly score of matches played in the big list of players who elected to compete, and there were few defaults. Dr. A. Mittendorf, of the Princeton Club, who has been quite an outstanding player in tournaments, was a winner in his match against Fl. R. Burch, of the Columbia Club

SMALL INVESTORS
 BECOMING FACTORS
 FOR MORE BUILDING

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Econ- omists investigating the present H. nancial conditions for the Depart ment of Labor agree with MT. Wal ter Stabler, Comptroller of the Met ropolitan Life in the conclusion that more than ever before in financial history the small investor in the United States is to be an important factor in financing business and building. MT. Stabler is quoted to the effect that large mortgage lend- CTS are not plentiful in the market and borrowers must look to small investors, whose participations may be pooled under the trusteeship plan.

Representatives Henry A. Slater. E. B. Collins and Almer Rydeen last evening became an involuntary com mittee of reception for Alaskans on the steamer Alameda, who desired to see the city and visit friends while the boat was in port. The three leg islators were at the dock when the boat landed, and as they know prac- tically every one on board, they were at once pressed into service, to an swer questions, to tell when the sun would rise, how long the boat would remain in port, where this, that or the other man could be found, and, in fact, such informa- tion as could be provided. The three men nobly stood by their guns anG did not admit their ignorance of a single question asked, whether the height of Mt. Juneau, or the latest baby born, and today Glen Bartlett is looking green as indigo.

GEN. VON BUELOW
 SAYS GERMAN PEOPLE
 ARE NOT TO BLAME

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 17.-(Corres pondence of the Associated Press)-- Tt is the right of our enemies to punish those responsible if there are men on the German side who are to blame for this war" declared Field Marshal Von Buelow, retired, in an interview with the Berlin cores pondent of the Handelsbladt. Non Buelow command the Second Ger man Army in 1914, was engaged in the fighting near Baubeuge and was retired in 1915 owing to a paralytic stroke from which he has not yet quite recovered.
 AS an old soldier l have not learned to ask for mercy" continued the Field Marshal. 'I only ask for justice for the German people. We soldiers went out to fight by the Kaiser's orders because the Govern ment said the country was in danger It was not our task as soldiers to in vestigate If we had been told the truth our duty was merely to obey. If the German people were misled when they were told that they were assailed by superior force of enc mics, then may a curse be on those who, by false dealings, made three quarters of mankind the enemies of q great peace-loving people. If there are wretches who deceived us when hey said we were attacked, then hey deserve the severst punishmnt, whoever they may be.
 But to destroy a great nation be- cause it is misled by a few people is to sin against the spirit of human justice"

How l love to play!
Spatter, spatter, what a clatter
I.make the livelong day.
The birds all come to me to drink,
Butterflies hover near
And children bring their little
boats
And go a-sailing here.
And then, at night, when the suns
gone down
And the dark comes creeping
round,
mch funny folk you never saw
AS round me may be found.
my spirits with golden wings,
And creatures gaunt and tall,
airy folk with dancing feet.
And brownies like ball.
they run and scamper, dance and
skip,
And caper with delight;
you want to know what else they
do,
Just come and see, some night.
