 In Il communities of our country in Oregon the women are making home made differs, homemade freless cook CTS, and homemade lceless refHgera- tors under the direction of the home demonstration agent. In connection with this project one woman found that an investment of 90 cents in a dish drainer and a wire dishcloth for pots and pans saved her ten minutes of the time required to do the dishes after each meal, or 30 minutes day. In year she figured this time, if ac' cumulated, would give two weeks, ot 12 hours a day, leisure. Was the in- vestment worth while?

GRECIAN BODYGUARD
IS LIKE COMIC OPERA
Always Excites Curiosity on
Streets Of Paris

/ Paris, April 8 Correspondence of
The Associated Press. )-Kings pres
idents and premiers have ceased to
be novelty at the peace conference.
but the bodyguard of Premier Veni-
zelos of Greece, never fails to attra Ct
great crowds. At the hotel where the
american delegation is housed and at
the foreign office, Venizelos' approach
is always heralded by the arrival of
one of his Cretan soldiers arrayed
more brilliantly than comic opera.
bandit.
The Cretans who escort the Greek
statesman are all more than six feet
tall and apparently have been chosen
from various organizations, as a diff
ferent man appears daily and the
same uniform is never seen twice.
The swarthy Cretans all have small
waxed mustaches twisted into IND
turned points and stand rigid1v at at
tention for hours while awaiting M.
Venizelos at the entrance to the hotel
or the foreign office. The jibes Of
small boys and the jokes of various
allied soldiers who gather in wonder
ment never seem to disturb the i'm
perturbable Cretans
Perhaps the most startling uniform
worn by one of the guards consisted
of white tights bound by tasselled
black silk cords at the knees, a red
velvet blouse and sash, a red fez sur
mounted by black silk tassel SO long
that it fell below the waist and black
sandals with upturned toes topped by
great black silk pom poms. This cos
tune was completed by an ivory han
died knife two feet long thrust care
llessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by the
Cretans are the chief feature Of the
uniforms and make collectors Of an
tique weapons very envious. They
are of all sizes and shapes and have
sheaths of great splendor, jeWe1led
and carved in a marvellous manner
Some of the guards are bare-kneed
and have costumes not unlike the
Scotch in style. but gaudier in color
Others wear marvclously decorated
1eggings reaching far above the knees
Capes of oriental hues are frequently
worn by the Cretans and add to the
bri1lfancy of the Greek uniforms
which make the fancy dress uniforms
of the French and English look

Negro Economics, Department of
Labor. Mr.. Leayell cites particularly,
among the experiences of a number
of communities the case of Adams
County, Of which Natchez is the
county seat. The harmony existing
there, he believes, is due to the close
contact Of the leaders Of the two
races.
1T is significant that in the older
counties which line the eastern banks
Of the Mississippi from Tennessee to
the Louisiana line, where relations be-
tween the races are fairly good, white
adult male illiteracy is by counties
from one-half to one-fifth what it is
in the State as whole; and that in
the counties notorious for Whitecap-
ping and expelling negroes white adult
illiteracy is so per cent more than for
for generations, and whites and
the State as a whole" Mr.. Leaveu
writes.

Want Tracks Repaired
Citizens are considering sending q
petition to the Connecticut company.
to ask that som ething be done to i'm
prove the trolley track beween Ber-
lin and New Britain. Owing to the
spring weather the tracks in some
places have sunk into the ground and
stretched out Of place. AS cars on
this line are operated at a fairly high
rate of speed passengers IoeI tney are
in constant danger of being bodily in
jured when the car strikes these
holes in the track. Many of the pa
irons of the Berlin trolley line find
it hard proposition to remain in the
seat when the trolley is travelling at a
fair rate of speed. The track is an old
one and has been in need Of repair
for the past year. The track between
the Berlin fair grounds and Damon's
hill is probably the worst stretch.
