1t was great disappointment that
our Red Cross was deprived of its
one opportunity to perform genuine
canteen service to soldiers passing
through the city When we heard
that a trainload of boys from Camp
Lewis en- route to California had
been backed into Olympia from Te-
nino on account of washouts, there
was tremendous excitement.
We have no tanteen committee. of
course, as we are off the route of
military travel, but Chairman Har-
ris rose to the occasion. Immediately
on receipt of the news he interviewed
the captain in charge and gained
permission to give the boys a free
movie show. That was pulled off
with entire success. But that was
only the beginning. By overstraining
the telephone system, scores of house
wives were set to work making pies
and sandwiches, and big feast and
dance were arranged for the evening.
And then, all of sudden, the long
train slipped out of town as suddenly
and unexpectedly as it had come in,
leaving behind 1t city Of saddened
matrOns and maids, and taking with
It, ! am sure, load of even sadder
soldier boys. But "C'est la guerre,,''

MendIna a saaaIna Door.

It ruffled the tidy nature of the
handy man to have to pull and jerk
at his door to open it, and then to
have to coax and push to shut it. A
door should fit in its frame, like a
stopper in bottle, he thought. A
cursory examination disclosed that 1t
struck at the bottom. OF course If the
swelling had been at the top, it would
have been so easy just to plane off
the surplus. But, at the bottom! He
tried Tightening the screws in the
upper hinge, which were quite loose,
but found the wood so soft that even
longer screws would not hold. There
seemed to be nothing to do but re-
move the upper hinge, dig out the
soft wood and insert in its place a
piece of new wood, which held the
hinge screws firmly and prevented
the door from sagging.

Maxims for Marksmen.

1t is strange that the novice will al
most invariably try to hit the bulls
eye Of swinging target when it is at
the center or in the lowest position.
This is decidedly the incorrect meth
cd. The expert knows that the time
to shoot is at the end Of the swing.
In fact, anyone will arrive ultimately
at the same conclusion, for a little
thought will convince him that a tar
get is the more easily hit when at a
standstill, or at the end Of vibra-
ton.
The moving target as rule has the
largest bulls eye, and is often one of
the easiest to strike, if you happen
to know how.
Simply aim at the point where the
center of the target stops and wait till
it returns. Then, bling!

Raven Not Extinct in England.

The assertion, made in some London
papers, that the raven is practically
extinct in England, has been denied by
a dweller on Exmoor. The raven, ac-
cording to this bird watcher, is by no
means rare in Somerset, where he is
often seen and heard. The story of
his having dummy nest to mislead
marauders is due to a misunderstand-
ing of the birds habit of sometimes
building new nest instead of repair
ing the old one. Ravens have a place
in many old legends in Europe, and
cannot be spared any more than can
the stork of Alsace and Lorraine.

them first-handed. Their reason for
selling was scarce of help and 8

CARRYING MATCHES.

Do you carry matches on your

be allowed to do this. He may
be careful, but some more care
less child may ask him for
match. Always be on the safe

never permit himself to carry

| believe IL is made in China or Japa-

MRS. X.
Try sponging the hat with weak
solution of borax and water. 1t is very
difficult to clean velvet when 1t is made
up into hat, for there is no way of
getting under it TO steam it. The
borax will freshen it up, but if ii does
not clean it satisfactorily spread a
thick layer of chalk or magnesia over
the velvet and allow it to remain over
night. Brush it out thoroughly next
day.
Unless you go to the trouble of TAX
ing the silk off the quilt to wash it in
prepared soap shavings, the safest
thing to use Is carbon tetrachloride,
which you can buy at the drug store.
