 An oilclcth motor coat in white and red has three buckled' belts
 Long haired furs, like monkey and gray hare, are perferred for trimming
 This trimming is usually applied to wide brimmed shapes and no other or nament is employed.
 Bead frogs are a novelty that forms an interesting trimming for chiffon and other sheer fabrics. They are frogs of the regulation shape, formed of beads strung and sewed into place.
 More and more use of lace, both as a trimming and in combinations as a fabric, is noted. The all lace dress, blouse and hat are here, but the big gest acceptance is of models of lace and Georgette, or of lace and net or lace and voile.
 FOR THE AUTUMN PICNIC.
 There is no time for automobile picnics like autumn time. June is the ideal season for ordinary picnics where one sits on the grass under whispering trees, but autumn for the automobile picnic-autunn with in- vigorating air. gorgeous colorins and wonderful sunsets. If it is chilly one sits on the car to eat luncheon and hot coffee comes out of trusty thermos bottle, if the day be warm the cloth may be spread on the ground in some sheltered nook and coffee may be boiled oyer gypsy fire
 Have you ever tried hot frankfurt CTS on an autumn picnic? If not don't miss such q treat. but take frankfurt CTS along the very next time Hang a pail of cold water over your out door fire. Put in the frankfurters and when the water boiis they are done. Place them immediately be- tween the halves of split rolls and serve with mustard.
 Sandwiches for the picnic may be made in no time with bread slices cut thin and spread with paste of deviled ham and mayonnaise, or with chopped sardines and mayonnaise. Wrap each sandwich separately in oiled paper. If your guests are fond of your special Welsh rarebits you can make the rare bit at home, carly it along in a bowl and heat it over your outdoor fire The toast can be made over the hot coals with the bread slices impaled on sharp sticks.
 If you perfer freshly made coffee to that carried in a thermos bottle, put a cup of finely ground coffee in an aga te pail with tight cover and when the picnic ground is reached add a quart 1 of water to the coffee. Bring to boil ing point over your gypsy fire, add a quart, of milk, bring to boiling point again and let stand five minutes. Pour into the cups through a small 1 strainer.

CARE oF UTENSILS.

Always coat the inside of any new utensil with mutton tallow or lard Let this stand a day or two, then gradually heat until the fat melts, and then wash with hot water and washing soda, which should be in the proportion Of heaping tablespoonful to a quart of water.
 Use a dish mop or fork to hold the cloth. Rinse the utensil in hot water and wipe dry with a clean towel, rub bing it very hard.
 Another good method of preparing new iron kettles and spiders for use IS to boil potato parings in them for sew eral hours then SCOUT and wash.
 When using ironware put it to soak as soon as emptied; then have clean, hot water and wash the inside and out tside carefully, rinse in hot water and wipe dry.
 Moisture and acid cause rust. while soap and grease make smooth ware For this reason many persons never wash the griddle pan, but carefully wipe it each time after using with grea sed paper.

Since the occupation of the holy
city of Jerusalem by the British 1t
is gradually becoming more western
ICED. For the first time In its history
its streets are properly cleaned and
1t has been given a fire brigade SER
vice and now an efficient water-sup-
ply. Hitherto its inhabitants de-
pended upon few wells and water
collected In overhead cisterns. The
telephone, too, has been introduced.
Its most striking improvement
though 1t is one that was carried out
lust prior to the war-was the cree
ton of a fine clock tower at the jana
gate. 1t is built of white stone obtained
from Solomon's quarries, of which the
temple was constructed. The clock,
which was supplied by London
matchmaker, shows both European and
Arabic time. Opposite the tower q
drinking fountain has been erected
and the roadway which leads through
the old walls into the city at this
point has been entirely rebuilt.

H0NDURAN CITY OF MYSTERY
No Scholar Has Been Able to De-
cipher the Picture-Writings
Left in Copan.

Copan is a city Of mystery. The
people who once thronged its streets
and bowled at it's affairs are long since
gone, leaving no record of their ex-
istence save the hoary stones of their
city. These stones, built into pyra-
mids, walls and monuments. bear their
story carved in the Maya characters.
But no descendants have survived to
interpret the stories. and no scholar
has arisen wise enough to read the
picture-writings of Copan.
Ruins of this oldest city of The
Maya Indians may still be seen by
those sufficiently persistent and en-
thusiastic to seek them out. A lit
tie Indian village in western Honduras,
and the river on which 1t lies keep
the name of Copan alive today. To
visit the ruins of the great COpan you
must seek out this village by train
and then go a long journey on horse
back. Just beyond the village lies
the old Maya metropolis.
The only inhabitants Of Copan to-
day are queer figures Of the Maya
gods. that peer out of unexpected
hiding PLACES like the creatures OF
bad dreamA Wonderfully carved many
of them arr. grotesque in attitude arc
expressions according to the artists
conception of the beings of the othel
world.
When Copan flourished. how it fell
and what became of its last people
no one knows. The city Is as desc
late as only a deserted city can be
oppressive and sad even in the brigh
sunlight of a topical midday

Vary Your Garden.

Remember that plant diseases and
insects thrive where they have become
established. Therefore. gardeners this
year should take care not to place the
individual crops where the same crops
grew last year. Varying the arrange
ment of the garden reduces the danger
from disease and insects. The same
vegetables In the same place each year
exhaust certain food elements. and re-
duced yields are sure to result.

FIRST TO WEAR FINGER RING
leoend Makes Pronietheus the Pioneer
Of Custom That May Now Be
Called Universal.

The first finger ring Is supposed
TO have been worn by Prometheus,
who stole fire from heaven that man
might warm himself and cook his
food. This act so incensed Jupiter
that the king of gods condemned him
to be chained upon a rock where vui-
lures could constantly feast upon him.
The sentence was carried out. but
Prometheus was released. Then Jupiter
ordered that Prometheus wear q INK
of chain about his finger as a remtn-
der of the punishment. A fragment
of the rock to which he had been
chained was set in the ring, so that
he might still be regarded as being
bound to the rock.
The custom of wearing an engage
ment or wedding ring upon the third
finger is due to an ancient belief thai
a nerve or vein directly connected
this finger with the heart, ACCORDING
to a writer in the Pittsburgh DIS
patch. Macrobius said: Because o.
this nerve the newly betrothed place:
the ring on this finger Of his ne
loved. as though 1t were representa-
ton of the heart" And just to SHOW
that the practice is a very old one
Macrobius admitted having obtained
the facts from an Egyptian priest
thus linking the belief with the OH
reaches of the past.

CAPITAL IS NOT WANTED

Some of us may in all seriousness want to develope Alaska and to that end are willing to allow capital to come iii and help Us and give it an even chance for it's money.

According to reports the Huns will not sign the peace terms. But they said that before and they were glad to sign later. However in the event they refuse, little advance in the country by the allied forces accompanied by a little des- truction of life and property, would soon have the desired effect. The Huns are towards by nature and they won't fight unless they have holes in the ground. They only fight in the open when women and old men are opponents.

OUR POSITION IN RUSSIA

Who can blame the American troops in the Archangel province of Russia for their reluct- ance to go to the front? They feel practically marooned in an Arctic wilderness, fighting a. eainst tremendous odds and against a govern ment upon which their own country has not de- clared war. They were drafted into the army for war against Germany with well-defined and widely proclaimed purpose, of which they heart fly approved They were given every proof that ia that war they would be abundantly reinforced
 would be supported by all the resources of the country. They have been sent inwoefully insufficient force to conduct war which has not been proclaimed-an informal war; for no for may or informally announced purpose. Never theless our little Archangel army ras fought va- iantly, while denied the endorsements which it sadly needs. It is in danger of extermination. It is not afraid to fight, it has amply proved that It balks only at an objectless fight fight which it cannot win because there is not enough of it.
