FIXING LEAKY FOUNTAIN PEN
F:aIIy No Need to Put Up With An noyance That Can Be Reme-
 died Easily.

IT you have a fountain pen that leaks around the joints, especially so If 1t is one of those types of foun- tain pens having a point which dis appears by turning a section of the barrel, try an application of heavy oil. To remedy the defect, soak the pen in warm water, not hot, and al- low it to dry, particularly inside. Then apply oil on the spindle which revOlves. The oil should be worked through the bearings from end to end. You can now refill the pen and wipe off the excess oil. A heavy cylinder oil is best for this purpose. To un- screw the parts of a fountain pen which have become set, merely heat the pen with hot water or by holding it near a flame, but be careful not to get too hot for there is danger of melting. While pen is heated a slight twist will often loosen the set.- Frank P. Goeder, Colorado Agricul- tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.

TO MAKE A PRETTY PARAs0L
Little Flowers With Camouffage Leaves Add to the Beauty of
 the Sunshade.

One of a new collection of lovely parasols can very easily be copied by the girl who is only moderately clever with her needle. She may either buy a plain silk one in any of the pastel shades, and decorate 1t, or she may even dress up last years one to look like new. The idea is this: At inter- vals about the edge is a little flower with two camoufage leaves. The flower is made of little shirrings of georgette crepe and there is a little loop of the same material on either side of the little round group of shir- rings to suggest the leaves. These ap- 1iqued flowers may be of the same col or as Che parasol or they may all be of different pale shades. A dresden color scheme would be lovely indeed. What ever colors you choose, however, you will find that your parasol to carry when you wear summery things is quite the da1ntiest you have ever seen.

the Turco-Egyptian fleet. Strangely enough, neither France, Russia nor England had yet declared war against Turkey, which still claimed Greece as Turkish province, in spite of the con- vention of Londsm. The sultan, natur- ally enough, enfaged at the battle of Navarino, declared all treaties at an end, and the ambassadors of the three powers left Constantinople. Russia declared war against Turkey in April of 1928. A French army occupied the Morea, but otherwise England and France remained idle spectators of the war which ensued.
 Russian Armies Successful.
 The Russian army crossed the Pruth in May, but winter came and they were still unable to pierce the Balkans. The next summer, however, the Rus sians passed over the mountains and appeared before Adrianople, which at once surrendered. A Russian army fighting in Asia had also been success full. Russia had entered European Turkey with 150,OO0 men, but only 4O,- 900 of them reached Adrianople, and those so worn with battle and disease that they could neither advance nor retreat, while between AdrlanopIe and Constantinople the sultan had 10000 fresh troops. Nevertheless. the czar had boasted that he had 100000 men to loan his friends and a million and a half to fight his enemies, and rumor exaggerated the force of Russians be fore Adrianople to 10000. Turkey was practically 'bluffed" into signing treaty, which she did at Adrianople on September If, 1929, recognizing the in- dependence of Greece and granting to Russia freedom of navigation of the Black sea, the Danube and the Oar danelles, and confirming and extending the protectorate of the czar over the Danubian principalities. The Turkish and Egyptian troops in Greece with drew and the new kingdom became a fact.

COPYING THE BRAID DESIGNS
Quick Method of Tracing Better Than Ose of Transparent Paper
 and Pencil.

Often, in planning a new dress, there is an especially pretty piece of braid- ed design on some old gown that takes your fancy and which you would like to repeat, if possible, as trimming for the new. Unless you are unusually ex- pert in freehand it is out of the ques- ton to reproduce the graceful curves and proportions of the original in mak- ing your transfer upon the new goods. A quick method of tracing, better even than the use of transparent paper and pencil and tracing the design as the map at school was traced, is to cover the design with fine tissue paper and then rub over the entire area below the paper lightly with a heavy crayon. AS the crayon strikes the braid below the paper it leaves a darker impress sion which faintly reproduces the de sign.
 Rub the crayon in one direction only.

MANNER OF TRIMMING
Demand for Decorations Is Graft
 fled With Novelties.
Difficult to Turn Frivolous and Many Still Dress on a War-Reduced
 Income.

It is the way of fashion to be for ever elusive, as it is the way of wonl' ven to be forever in search of some of new interest in the silhouette, then she looks for novelty in material or in Hhe manner of trimming. This season finds the slender silhouette still hold ing first place in the fashion world. It remains slim, perhaps simmer, but the 'whims of woman must be gratifed by the vast variety and novelty of trim amtngs, materials and accessories for this season.
 Fashion has grown very serious dur dng the last four years, and it is diff ficult to turn frivolous lover night" For the woman who is still dressing .on war-reduced income, 1t is wise 1 ito choose fashions that are established, gowns and suits fashioned after those most favored by the conservative wom- an, says Vogue.
 The top coat or motor coat is per- haps the most important piece in her wardrobe. To a woman who travels, this coat Is invaluable, and it's uses are many.

The top part of the dress is made like an over blouse. The straight lines and unbrok- zen simplicity made 1t model suited to either matron or debutante.

The straight box coat, is em- lbroidered all over and has a deep roll dng collar ending where two large navy blue buttons fasten the coat. The scrochetted girdle is finished with weight-like tassels of blue silk. The deep hem of the skirt is marked with the quilting and outlined with enbroid-' 4ery, an effect which is very new. The coat is very smart worn as a separate sports coat, and may be used with sports skirt of white silk or navy blue pussy-Willow taffeta. .A

lasts longer than the top, and when the latter begins to show signs of wear beneath the arms, as is the na- ture of fine fabric or linen undergar- ments, economy that has been prac- ticed in so many forms during the war, has taught us to. cut away the worn portion and join the embroid- cry or lace, or whatever the trim ming at the bust may be, to the lower part and thus make a new short chemise out of an old long one.
 Silk chemises are very general in Paris, as linen is such a scarce article in France since the disasters in the North. Pale pink is 10 be seen in the leading ateliers, with nattier blue em- broidered and the same blue shade in ribbons.

TREATY OF ADRIANoPLE, 1929.


The modern kingdom of Greece came into being by treaty signed at Adrianople in 1929 between Russia and Turkey, by which the Grecian cap tfvity of $50 years was ended. Most of this time Greece was subject to Turkey-but not always. During the latter Middle Ages the Venetians and other foreign rulers temporarily estab- Iished their power there. In 1715 the Turks drove out the Venetians, who had established themselves on the Gre elan peninsula 28 years before, and ruled undisturbed until the beginning of the Greek insurrection in 1921. The city of Athens rose and compelled the Turks to take refuge in the Acrop- olis; a constitution was proclaimed on the first day of the next year; Ali Pasha, the Turkish general, was de feated and killed by the revOlutfonists !; the Turks took the revolted Island of Solo with horrible cruelties; the Greeks captured Napoli di Romania. A large part of Greece fell into the hands of the revolutiOnists.
 The war continued, with the Greeks generally successful, until 1925. The imagination of Europe had been stirred by the idea of a revival of a nation that was the ancient home of arts and letters, and Byron had lent his money and his name to the Grecian cause, to die at Missolonghi, in the Greek serv- ice. Russia was ready to interfere, but the governments of the western na- tions had no idea of making war for sentimental reasons.
 Western Powers Take Notice.
 Early in 1925 Mehemit Ali, the great viceroy of Egypt, who had an eye on the throne of ConstantinOple, put IT, 900 men into the Morea under his adopted son Ibrahim, who captured Navarino and the Island of Sphagia. which lies before 1t. F. rly the next year Ibrahim was joined by a Turkish army under Reshid Pasha and Missolonghi was taken after a six months siege. All that part of Greece not occupied then by Turks and Egyp- tians was now under the influence of KolokOtrOni, a mere Russian agent. The western powers began to "sit up and take nOtice" It looked as if the czar and the sultan were about to di- vide Greece between them. The Gre clan question, from being one of senti- ment had become one of practical poli- tics.
 Delegates of Russia, France and England met in London and, on July 27, 1927, signed a convention which established, on paper, a kingdom of Greece. In August the fleets of Eng land, France and Russia blOckaded the TurcO-Egyptian fleet of over 90 men, of-war, lying in the harbor of Nava- rino. On October 26 the allied fleets entered the harbor, and, after a battle of five hours, totally destroyed

Where Martin Luther Beuoed,

Martin Luther sang in the streets of Magdeburg. along with other church choristers, for the bread and coins that citizens might bestow. This beg ging was the recognized means of SUD- port of the children of the "poor schools" attended by sons of peasants, who obtained free lodging at the hos pices of the church, had free tuition. and were granted the privilege of sing. ing for their meals. In return they were expected to sing in the choir of the church which supported their school. Modern Magdeburg is the cap ttal of the Prussian province of Sax ony. The city was we'll fortified. It is nearly ninety miles southwest of Der lin, lies mostly on the left bank of the Elbe. and is an important railway cen ter.

Some one somewhere remarked that the eastern question would perplex mankind until the day of Judgment. Those fragments of nations which strew the Balkan peninsula are so di- vided in race, language and traditions that they dwell side by side in a state of constant discord and bel1iger- ency, no one race being able to as- simulate the Others-a melting pot in which nothing melts, but which is in constant state of ebullition.
 In 1875 the idea of pan-Slavism had become a strong sentiment in Russia. Pan-Slavism in Russia was answered by revival of pan-IS1amism in Tur- key. Russian agents were everywhere in the peninsula stirring up the Chris tian populations and the Mussulman reaction and the increased tyranny of the porte still further excited the peO- pies already stirred by pan-slavist dreams.
 Uprisingss began; Serbia declared war on Turkey; Montenegro and Alba mia flew at each others throats; the powers intervened and there were con- ferences, protocols and armistices, while the Turks put down the upris ings and defeated the Serbians and Montenegrins with great slaughter. The uprising in Bulgaria was put down by the Turks with such cruelty that the Bulgarian massacres' stirred all Europe. Turkey remained deaf to the proposals of the "concert of Europe"
 Declared War Against Turkey.
 The patience of the czar was ex- hausted. On April 24, 1877, he gave orders for his armies to cross the Turkish frontier and declared war against Turkey. He had previously concluded an alliance with Roumania by which the Russian armies had the right of passage through that country and the Roumanfan army was to coop crate with the army of Russia. Eng land had acquiesced in the Russian move, provided the czar did not occupy ConstantinOple or the Dardanelles, let Egypt alone and recognized the neutrality of the Suez canal. Austria had been appeased by a secret pact with regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina and by the vision dangled before her of an outlet on the east to the Aegean sea at Saloniki. The os- tensible object of the war was to force the porte to put into operation under European superintendence his promised reforms and to secure the autonomy of the subject states.

June, took Shipka pass in July and were defeated before Plevna in July and September. They defeated the Turks at Aladja Dagh in Armenia in October and took Kars by storm in November. Plevna fell in December and the Russian army passed through the Balkans, and advanced to the out skirts of Constantinople. On March 3, 1878, a treaty was signed at San Stefano,. little port on the sea of Marmora between Russia and Turkey.
 czar Was Frightened.
 All the Balkan peoples, except the Bulgarians, broke out into tempest of protest upon the news of this treaty. Austria, who saw her dream of reach ing the Aegean gone glimmertng and even her control of Bosnia and Herze- govina shared by Russia, voted 6O,- 100000 gulden for war purposes and prepared to seize upon Bosnia. Eng land called out the reserves, and Dis raeli startled Europe by bringing In- dian troops to Malta. The British fleet steamed into the sea of Mar mora and lay near Constantinople. The concert of Europe" demanded that the treaty be submitted to a con- gress of the powers. The coalition of Europe against him scared the cZar and he consented. The congress of Berlin, therefore, met June 13, 1878. Before attending the congress Disraeli made a secret pact with the sultan by which England acquired complete con- trol of Cyprus. The congress lasted until July 13. Bismarck presided and Dtsraell, Gorchakov the Russian, and Andrassy the Austrian were the prin- cipal figures. Gorchakov and Dis raeli fought each other tooth and nail. Once the Russian created a sensation by gathering up his papers and start ing to leave the council room. At arl- other time Disraen startled the dele gates by ordering a special train to take him to Calais. When the Cyprus convention came to light the diplomats felt that Disraeli had tricked them. That night he attended a reception. As he entered a silence fell upon the angry buzzing of the assembled states men. Disraeli understood.
 "Of what are you thfnkingT asked the Princess RadZiwill."
 q am thinking of nothing" he re- piled; 'T am enjoying myself"
 The treaty as finally signed by the congress provided that Bulgaria should not extend south of the Balkans and the military occupation of Russia was reduced to nine months.

Underlinen follows the fashion like every item of dress, and of late, says writer in the London Gentlewoman, there has been a decided curtailing of an undergarment that once reached the ankles. Nowadays it starts at the bust, has narrow satin ribbons upon
 the shoulders to keep it in place, and stops above the knees. How our grand mothers would have opened-or shut

Tip to Authors.

A youthful aspirant applied to a successful authOress for advice as to how to succeed in literature. You need tndomitable perseverance, type writer and a mangle," was the reply. "Do you mean I had better take in washing?" asked the aspirant. "Non- sense! You need the mangle to take the creases out of your manuscripts. Mangle them well, and then, unless the editors have burned them with cigarette ash. no one can tell they have been out before"

Hats en Suite.

At this time of the year there is al- ways a tremendous showing of sports hats and delightful dropping brims with trailing ribbons and pretty pale flowers. Many models are made up in pale pink, blue or white silk. The prettiest fad of the moment is that of having sweater, hat and parasOl to match. The hats with very wide brims are charming when made up en suite in this way, and many of these hats were exhibited early in the season for the benefit of Southland visitors.

bought which will keep all cutting tools in good order?. If there is any one thing which will cause one to use strong language 1t is a dull carving knife.
 A tray to remove food and dishes from the dining table or to carry 1t to the table Is a great saving of steps. If one cannot afford to buy a wheeled tray or tea wagon get the handy man to make you one, using the small wheels from an old gocart. A wire dish drainer is light and can be used as tray If no other Is at hand, for it Is easy to carry.
 Paper or wooden trays or plates make fine dishes to use in the ice box. for they do not break and may be re- newed often at little expense
 Paper of all kind~ saves dish wash ing. Wipe out the greasy dishes with a piece of soft paper before putting them into the dish water Keep the table wiped up with paper, saving the dishcloth for stains and grease.
 A kitchen table covered with zinc or some hard surface that does not need securing to keep clean Is a most neces- sary kitchen convenience Some good scales, a good clock, a kitchen cabinet with everything at hand to use in cookery, are all necessary equipment.
 Keep bottle of kerosene near the sink, and when it is dry wipe out with a cloth dampened with kerosene; # will keep clean without securing. he- peated scourings with various cleaning powders will ruin the surface, so that it becomes rough and stains easily.
 Have a stool that will slip under the table when not needed and use it to sit on while preparing vegetables or doing many kinds of work. It will be found a great saving on tired feet. One can learn to wash and wipe dishes and iron sitting on stool. Have a rung on which to rest the feet to change ones position.
 A small, simple old rocking chair in the kitchen will save many break down. Drop into it while doing va rious things and relax when possible
 Keep a card index of recipes in the kitchen in a convenient place to use In planning the meals.
