midas demand for silver Is enorm-
Gus. II is estimated that this country
alone consumed more silver last year
than the worlds supply. When the
Pittman bill was passed providing for
the melting of $50, 900, 900 silver dollars
out of 100000, 600 in reserve last year
the price of the white metal was S.
cents, England had placed an EN-
barge on the metal, which had gone
to 81.
Through the request of the British
government nearly 300.0O0,O00 ounces
CT the me tied down silver was sent
II India. This alone saved that coun-
try from a financial crisis that at
times threatened to result in a revolt
against British rule.
There is more silver boarded in In
dia than in any other country in all
the world.

MOVIE" FILMS MAKE
BIG DEMAND FOR SILVER
BOARDING an INDIA CAUSES
ADVANCE IN THE PRICE
OF THE METAL.

Motion picture producers are
among the largest commercial users
of silver in the world, according to
statements yesterday by authorities
on silver mining. 1t is estimated
that approximately 100000 ounces
of silver is consumed annually by the
picture corporations in the manufact-
ure of films. This is more than one
sixth of the total world supply of
white metal, says the New York Her.
aid.
The statement was made in part
explanation of the extraordinary ad-
vance in the price of silver since the
lifting of government restrictions on
the metal. Other reasons for the in
crease it was said are currency in
flation, as am outcome of war, and
the consequent retirement of gold
from circulation, the growth of the
demand for the metal in the arts, the
boarding of silver by midas millions
and the demand for it in China, Japan
and the far east.
Uses Of Silver.
The United States produces about
100000 ounces Of silver a year
while the world supply is estimated at
175,000,000 ounces. OF the amount
produced in this country $4,000, 900
ounces goes into the arts while 49,
100000 ounces go to the subsidiary
coinage. This leaves only 10000, 900
available for purchase by the govern
nlent or for purchase for shipment to
other countries.
When Senator Key Pittman, auth
or Of the Pittman act, recently was
here he announced that silver has
been stabilized for the next 20 years.
This means that the silver industry
has been placed on a guaranteed
business basis and there will be a
general movement to develop proper
ties and to increase the production of
the western mines.
Will Go Higher.
Predictions have been made that the
price of silver will advance to $3.50
an ounce. But these predictions are
given little credence by persons fam
illar with the silver industry. 1t is
improbable that the parity will go
much beyond $1,2929, for if it did,
then silver dollars would be worth
more melted down than as collateral
of the United States government 1t
also would have a tendency to put a
check on the financing of the silver
industry aside from individual silver
properties.
Authorities on silver say the stabil-
ization of silver will result in large
investments in silver production. But
that it is almost certain that the price
of white metal will not go beyond
1929, because this Is the highest price
the government desires it to reach.
Foreign Demand.
There has been a large demand for
silver by foreign countries. In the last
several weeks some big shipments
have been made. China, India and
some of the European countries have

Another way to avoid the turned-up
corners Of rugs is to sew a pocket Of
some cheap material on the underslde
Of each corner; then slip in a piece Of
tin, which you can have cut the ex'

corners cannot curl.
The Care Of Mating.
The broom. even the covered one. is
not good for mating, and neither IL
the frequent use Of the wet cloth. The
carpet-sweeper, used across the grain,
is better; and the vacuum-cleaner is,
OF course, best of all. But in be-
tween the latter two comes the hearth
brush, which Is q life-preserver to the
mating and n labor-saver to the
hOusewOrker. To go over n mating.
covered room with n dustpan and one
of these brushes is n matter Of only
n few minutes. These soft-hair
brushes, thus used, raise little dust
they keep the mating and the cor
ners In proper condition, and they do
not rOughen and injure the matting's
surface. Another merit Is that they
may be washed without injury If they
are quickly dried.
To Lay Straw Mating Smoothly.
This is n hard thing to do as the
cheaper grades are likely to get
wrinkled and to wear In ridges.
When you put the mating down. get
1t as smooth as possible; then, with n
pail Of hot water. to which n cupful
of common salt has been added. mop
and wash the mating as If 1t were
dirty. Use the salt water freely, renew
Ing often enough to keep it hot. Wash
with the grain Of the mating, and
leave it quite damp. In drying, the
mating will shrink into place. The
salt tOughens the straw and prevents
1t from breaking.

uhu prominent, the flesh firm and he
OdOr sweet.
Clean the fish by holding it firmly by
the tail and scraping toward the head.
Pour boiling water wei 1t to loosen
the scales, then they will be more
easily removed. A curry comb kept
for that purpose makes a good fish
scnler.
Small fish are best fried and the
best fat for frying is n vegetable oil us
II leaves no taste and does not burn
easily.
To prepare n small fish for frying,
after careful cleaning wipe dry inside
and out. Roll in flour. then In beaten
egg to which n t%easpOOnful Of water
has been added, then In sifted crumbs.
Have the oil very hot. When 1t
browns a cube of bread in forty Sec
onds 1t Is ready. Drop In the fish and
cook from five to seven minutes drain
on absorbent paper and serve hot.
Baked Fish.-Clean, wash and wipe
dry n firm fish weighing three or four
pounds, rub inside and out with salt
and pepper and FIJI with any desired
stufiing. Sew up the fish and lay In n
pan with strips Of thin salt pork over
1t, which will haste it while cooking.
Bake from one to one and n half
hours, Blasting occasionally. Serve with
Il drawn butter sauce.
Goldfish BaiIs.-Take two cupfuls Of
goldfish, two cupfuls Of mashed pota-
toes with n little cream. one egg. m
tablespoonful of butter and salt If de-
sired, with a few dashes Of pepper.
Form into balls, roll In beaten egg,
then in bread crumbs and fry in deep
fat.

cold water, changing the water several
times until the fish Is fresh enough.

Hints for House Cleaning Time.

Having cleaned floors. woodwork
and furniture, the attention turns natu-
rally to floor coverings which need
frequent cleaning. Waxed floors
should rarely be washed except
before rewaxing. and n wood floor
can be kept from scratches II
the legs of the chairs and tables have
a bit of felt pasted on the bottom.
For this purpose old felt hats may
be used.
Care Of Rugs.
Good rugs can be safely scrubbed,
and professional rug cleaners do this
work very successfully. 1t is a good
idea to %stipulate that they are to be
simply scrubbed with suds when
turning them W. to the cleaner, for
sometimes n bleach Is used on them.
Scrubbing Is perhaps the most salts
factory method Of cleaning a first
class rug. but might prove fatal to
one made of poor material o. dyed
with inferior colors. Nearly all rugs
redye we'll, but this is work for a
Plvi CSSiOiipi, IN " II Jus
keeper.
Ordinarily all that Is needed Is
a vacuum cleaner to keep rugs
thoroughly clean. If you have none,
take your rugs into the yard
and sweep them thoroughly with a
broom. This will keep the wallpaper
and hangings clean, and you won't
have to breathe the dust which you
are sweeping. A good sweeping with
the carpet sweeper will do In the
meantime.
To Keep a Rug Flat.
When the edge Of II rug persists In
curling up, lay over II. on the wrong
side, a damp cloth, and on this place
a moderately hot iron. Let it stand
for Il few minutes and the steam will
make the rug lie perfectly fiat.
An old corset steel dress-stay, or
piece Of stiff wire cat-stitched dag
Onally at the corners, on the wrong
side Of a much used tapestry rug, will
keep it from curling up.

If turnlps are strong, change the
water once while boiling and season
them with cream instead of butter.
When you have added too much
soda to a mixture, add a t%easpoonful
OF vinegar to counteract 1t.
Crust In teakettles can be prevent

To whiten clothes put a teaspoonful

Add a cupful Of mashed potato to

longer.
Iron table linen quite damp, and
until 1t Is perfectly dry. which will

Pineapple Juice Ia excellent for sore

Two dust mops, one for downstairs

when cleaning. A well-oiled mop used
each day on the hardwood floors
keeps them always In good condition.
Five minutes will dust a floor, after

To Love Life.

Is IL a sin to love life? Not a sin
exactly, but a mistake. 1t is a sin to
love some life, a mistake to love the
rest. Because that love is lost. All
that is lavished on it is lost. Christ.
does not say IL is wrong to love life.
He simply says it is loss. Each man
has only a certain amount of life, OF
time. of attention. definite, measur-
able quantity. If he gives any of 1t to
this life solely. it is wasted. There
fore. Christ says, hate life. limit life,
lest YOU steal your love for it from
