Old TabIecloths Made Beautiful.

London-There are all sorts Of war
economies which must go on for an
Indefinite period of time, and some OF
them have been SO cleverly conceived
that they will probably take their
place in household affairs as perma-
nent fixtures. One, for instance, takes
care of tablecloths that havet become
worn and frayed, for linen has risen IN
price with fierce and forbidding
bounds A surreptitious hole begins to
wear in the most conspicuous spot Of
the best table covering. Promptly a
flower Of Irish crochet is seized upon
and worked carefully into the cloth as
decoration right over the insistent
hole. That is decoration number one
to the war tablecloth. The second
comes Immediately upon the appear
nnce of any new signs of wear and so
on until tablecloth which, under
more favorable financial conditions,
might have been consigned to the
scrap heap joins the bands Of the best
linen because Of Its real beauty Of de-
sign and It's addition OF beautiful lacy
spots. @

RATE REDUCTION FOLLOWS MEETING

New York, Feb. 3.-The recent re- ductions in ocean freight rates, an- nounced by British steamship lines and the United States shipping board were preceded by conferences and a complete understanding as to the ne- cessity for the new tariffs, according to A. E. Clegg. assistant director of operations of the shipping board. He made this' statement today in denial of reports that the reductions by Brit ish shipping interests had forced the shipping board reductions.
 Several weeks ago." MT. Clegg said, discussions began between the shipping boord, the British minister of shipping and individual lines on the subject of freight rates. As re-
 suit, we arrived at reductions to the
 United Kingdom and we then took up
 rates to other countries as we had the
 opportunity. We have established basis of rates satisfactory to all and which will fit the situation at pres- l ent. Several additional trade routes
 are to receive attention soon.

NEGRO MINISTER

However Jacobs Coat Pock- cts Were Not Lined With
 "Long Green.

Rev. J. l.. Brannon, negro minister of the Holiness Church of God, who lives at 25O0 West 18th, had coat, and thereby hangs tale.
 Rev. Brannon, it is stated, was very distrustful of the banking system as it is generally practiced, fearing that in war times, they might go broke, and having an old coat about the premises, he opened up an account in the old coat. But Rev. Brannon recA- oned not the possibility of fire, or of someone taking away his coat. Both of which happened Sunday night,

 He was transferring gasoline from one automobile in his garage to an- other car, and was Illuminating his work with the aid of kerosene lamp. All of sudden, as is usual with like things, there was an explosion, and the garage, two cars, wood pile, and some outbuildings began to burn nightly. Living without the pale of fire protection. Rev. Shannon was unable to stem the flood of fire, and his property was burned completely. Adding injury to loss,. the minister suffered several painful burns on his neck and face. But the fire finally died out, and the minister took him. self into the house, and as is usual when great sorrow comes, he went him to seek solace from his best friends. But his coat was gone. And with his coat, went the. result of his many years of toll; his money; his i$1,465

 The automobiles were the property of the ministers son, who operates g taxi line. The ministers son was not at home at the time. Rev. Brannor stated that no one whom he knew of was aware of the fact that he had the money in the house.

FINAL AGREEMENT. IS REACHED 0N
 OIL LEASE BILL
Legislation Has Been Pend ing In Both Houses For
 Four Years.

Washington, Feb. 3.-After months of deliberation, House and Senate con- ferees today reached final agree melt on the oil leasing bill, under which more than 5,0O0,000 acres of government owned oil, gas, coal, phos- phate and sodium lands in Western States and Alaska would be opened for development under leasing sys- tenn subject to a royalty which in the case of oil and gas will be not less than one eighth of the gross value or production.
 This 1egis1ation-generally regard ed as the most important aNecting the West that has been before Con- gress w1thih decade-has been pend- ing for four years and has been the subject of repeated discussions in both Houses. Leaders in the Senate and House hope, to complete it's en- actmenf before the end of this session, March 4th.
 Alter the cUn1erees had settled all differences, Senator Pittman, of Ne vada, and representative Ferris, of Oklahoma. issued statements urging support of the bill and. declaring that in it's present form it was the best compromise that could be hoped for. Important Measure. The most important provision of the measure, and the one causing the greatest division of opinion, relates to the settlement of claims growing out of the development of oil wells in and outside California Wyoming ma. val reserves. The conferees adopted the House provision which has been endorsed.

RAILROADS SHOULD
 BE HELD 5 YEARS :
 OR NONE--H|NtS
Believes Best System Is Su- pervision of Roads by
 Government.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Exaggerated complaint against government rail road operation growing out of na- tional reaction from war time patrio- tic tension, is psychological factor" which makes it difficult at this time to develop a permanent solution of the railway problem, direction gen. eral Hines said today in testifying be- fore the Senate interstate commerce committee.
 This is one important reason, MT. Hines said, why government operation either should be extended five years, and time govern for calm deliberat- ions, or the roads turned back to private management before. the pres ent 21 months period expires.
 Citing many cases of complaints against government operation which he said were based on misapprehen- sion or failure to understand railroad practice. Mir. Hines said: Many Hardships.
 Apparently every hardship or diff ficulty connected with the wartime operation of the railroads proves momentarily to be regarded as req son why there should be no solution except a prompt turning back to the railroads to all the railroad compan- ies with new legislation which really makes no fundamental changes what ] ever. II do not believe this state of i mind will change until there is an Opportunity to look in an understand ing way at the results of federal con trol under peace conditions. There fore, the importance of giving a fair and reasonable test to federal control under peace conditions is not merely to give fair showing to advocates of government ownership, but also ro give fair showing to the advocates of any plan other than going back to the old regime" M
 MT. Hines explained that he believes the best eventual solution would be development. of few large railway systems privately owned, and operat. ed under strict government supervis- ion.

SUMMER TREATMENT OF THE
STRAWBERRY BED.

Strawberry beds that are to be
fruited another year should have their
tops cut promptly after the fruiting
season, advises v. II. Gardner, of the
University of Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture. This may be done with a
scythe or in the case Of large planta-
tons with a mower. Care should be
exercised not to cut so close to the
ground as to injure the crowns. After
the tops have dried a few days the
bed should be burned over. The burn
ing gets rid of the old tops and most
of the mulching material and at the
same time destroys insects and fun
gus diseases. 1t is desirable to select
time for the burning when there is
fair breeze blowing so that the fire
will sweep over the bed rather quickly
and not have chance to shoulder and
destroy the crowns.
Right after burning over the bed
should be cultivated thoroughly. New
leaves will then develope quickly to
manufacture food materials out of
which the fruit buds for next seasons
crop are formed. Civilizations should
be frequent enough during the re-
mainder Of the growing season TO keep
down weeds, conserve moisture and
otherwise promote q strong vigorous
vegetative growth Of the plants.
While II Is desirable to have the
plants form some new runners during
the summer months, in the case of old
beds, excessive runner formation should
be discouraged. Force the plants y
