Strenuous Tactics That Resulted In
Restoring Family to Its Normal
Happy Quota

4 mother of four became exceedingly
wroth the other day with the father
of the quartet. They quarreled bit
terly over a matter usually classed as
nonessential, and she, forthwith, pack
ed up bag and baggage and went back
to her childhood home-in the next
blocks but one.
The father stayed at home with the
children all the morning and managed
to find something for their MONDAY
meal, but in the afternoon things be-
gan to happen The quartet was or
ganized into band, and a very noisy
one at that. With tin horns, dish
pans and combs they paraded up and
down the blocks between their home
and the grandmother's and in between
times the oldest boy, aged ten, led the
shrin refrain, to which they marched !:

MASTERS OF HIGH FINANCE
New England Youngsters Raised
Hawks From Eggs and Collected
RemuneratiVe Bounty.

Freetown, Mass, will break a long
standing custom this year and pay no
bounty on the hawk. After a long
and heated session of the town fathers
at AssOnet it was unanimously agreed
that the debit side of Freetown budget
had been taken too heavily by this item
when Moderator Nichols disclosed the
leak in the towns financial condition.
Every spring when the nests of the
hawks are filed with eggs" explained
the moderator, ''the country boys
Skinned the trees, took out the eggs,
carried them home, put them under
setting hens and Matched them out,
and thus raised numerous young hawks
at no cost whatever. Then the boys
clipped their wings TO keep them home,
and when they had grown full size
killed them, took them to the town
Office and obtained their bounties."

Germany's stiff-necked denseness in
sensing the necessity for her strict
compliance with the first armistice

the harder ones imposed as a penalty
for nOnfulfillment of the first make one

cunious farmer for a loan. The bank
er was one of those people who are
deaf for commercial purposes. The
farmer was chemically wanting to
borrow, and his security was getting
shaky.

pleaded the farmer.

his lame ear and said:

Alexandra.

Alexandria, founded by the world
conqueror, Alexander the Great, is an
Egyptian city that is eager to lose its
connection with the faraway past and
become completely modernized. Fate
has favored this ambition, for the Won
ders that Cleopatra knew have been
eaten by fire or swept away by the
sea. Alexandria is a city Of trade and
fashion, dominated by prosperous Eu-
ropeans too deeply absorbed in the
stock exchange to be even vaguely in
terested in the romantic side of their
city.

Easter, the most joyous festival Of
the church, except Christmas, came
and went, revealing that the war has
had no effect upon it as the focal point
In styles of dress for spring. The
costumes, suits, frocks, millinery and
footwear in which throngs of men and
women wend their way churchward, or
somewhere, on Easter Sunday consti-
tute the spring song OF tailored clothes.
And the frocks in which women en-
bark on their social dofngs after East
er crystalline the styles into fashions
for midsummer in all kinds of ap-
parel.
The coat-suit, with its ever-present
vest, 1t almost goes without saying,
outnumbered tailored frocks and all
others, in the Easter parade, but the
tailored frock held its own as quite
as chic and trim for the street There
is a great variety In suits, but the sew

To Prevent Candles From Dripping.
Candle light is one of the prettiest
decorations we have, but they often
make such a mess one heSitates to use
them. You may avoid all this If you
freeze the candles before using, they
will never run, and burn twice as
long.
Candles hardened by being kept in
the refrigerator, or a cool place, will
burn longer than others. Keep the
wick "snuffed," as did our grandmoth-
ers; when you blow a candle out blow
up, instead of over the light, and the
candle will not gutter, but burn even
" next time. Church or wake candles
cost more, but are made Of harder ma
teriaI and last longer.
For a candle economy, shape a cork
to fit the candlestick, then drive
through the center shap nail, bring
ing the pointed end out on top. Place
the end of the candle on the point of
the nail, and you will be able to burn
all candle ends down to the very last

ToIuoI outnut.

To give an approximate idea of the
scope OF this industry, one need only
compare the small output of pure
to1uol in 1912 and 1913, for which
years it was approximately 10000 gal
Ions, with the estimated output for the
year just past (1918), during which
period it is hoped that the output will
have exceeded 100000 gallons. Prac-
tically all Of this Increase has been
possible because of the recovery of
toluOl from cOke-oven gas and city
supplies.

The spring housekeeping is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that require
this treatment. Here are a few hints
and recipes that will be found useful 4:
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
plated ware, German silver, brass, cop
per, glass, tin, steel, or any material
where a brilliant luster is required. To
four pounds of the best quality of
whiting add one-half pound cream of
tartar and three ounces of caIcfned
magnesia. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with a piece OF
chamois skin or canton flannel pre-
viously moistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments' rubbing will develop a surpris-
ing luster, different from the polish
produced by any other substance.
Silver Powder.
Nitrate of silver and common salt
each 80 grains. Cream of tartar three
and One-half drains; pulverize finely,
mix thoroughly, and bottle for use.
Unequaled for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should be
well polished and buried in a box Of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with a wooden cloth and sweet oil,
then washed in water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting.
Frightening Brass.
To clean lacquered brass wash it
gently in lukewarm water, rub with
cloth dipped in equal parts of vinegar
