 When boiling sugar the steam of kettles and pans should be avoided. A clear bright day is best. When sirup is cooked to a high degree of heat it is apt to sugar. Cream of tartar and glucose or a few grains of -citric acid added to the mixture will keep it from graining. A tablespoonful of glucose, a quarter of a teaspOOnful of cream of tartar will be enough for a pound of sugar.
 The making of fondant is the most important step in candy making. It is used in many ways, both as a covering and also as filling.
 It is far wiser if one has no ther- mometer to make the fondant in small quantities. To four cupfuls of sugar add half cupful of water and a table spoonful (heaping) of corn sirup or glucose, or a bit of cream of tartar. Let it boil. washing down the sides with a sWab to keep the grains from forming, until when a drop is added to cold water it makes a ball which can just be handled. Pour it carefully, not scraping the dish, into buttered platter and let it cool until it can be handled. Stir with a wooden spoon from the edges to the center until it is all creamy and smooth. Then pack in a bowl, cover with a buttered paper and set away for a day or two. It is now ready for any of the favors, col ors or kinds one wishes to make of it. The softer the fondant the more de licious it is for the filling of chocolate creams. Chill the fondant and mold in balls; chill again and dip quickly in melted chocolate.

BULBS OF ROAD IN ENGLAND
Country Has Two: Foot Traffic Keeps to Right, NehicuIar Traffic
 to Left.

One of the maSy proposed reforms fin England which lave been agitated for a long time and which received strong impetus as a result of the war is a change in the rule of> the road. EngFshmen are noted for the[ regard for tradition, but the revelations in tbe last few years of the inroads by others on what was formerly wholly British business have quickly awak- pned a majority from their lethargy.
 In the United States and most other countries it is the rule for drivers and pedestrfans to keep to the right. Eng land. though. has two rules-one that foot traffic should keep to the right and the other that vehicular traffic should take to the left.
 Thousands of British drivers on the continent during the war found the British rule a great handicap at points where drivers of other allied countries ased the same roads. Many accidents

The great sahara desert covers the major part of northern Africa, consist ing of 3.50000O square miles-an arid region as large as the whole of Flu ,Ope. From 100 feet below sea level it rises in one instance to 5000 feet abcve, and some of its elevations are covered with snow for three months of the year. Most of it. however, is a dry, sandy waste, dotted here and there with an oasis where drink nay be secured. The winds are all very hot and dry, while rain Is almost unknown.

Pads Not
 to Affect U. s.

It is a question whether the chemse and so suited to the American type, will be in any way seriously menaced by the many brave efforts to change the silhouette which were launched at the Paris opening, writes a New York fashion correspondent.
 CrinOlined hips, nipped in waistlines, circular skirts and tunics, bus le draperies and flowing Renaissance folds as a means of altering the sil- hOuette seem destined to cast no more than a passing shadow on the coming mode, and not one of them. at the present time, appears to have the slightest chance of establishing it's characteristic lines as a surmounting fashion.
 Poor Time to Experiment.
 The truth is that industrial cOndi- tfOns are much against experimental tiOn. Neither work nor fabric can be wasted when there is little enough of either, and unless a radical change of line bids fair to dominate it is likely 10 get only the most half-hearted try- ing out.
 The manufacturer is backed by the knowledge that the American woman gives every evidence of understanding her type and of realizing that her tall, lithe Dianalike figure is at it's best in garments which do not depart further than is necessary from natures lines.
 How long this combination of prac- ticality and good taste will hold sway It is impossible to predict. How firm bulwark 1t will prove against one of those irresistible movements of fash ion which have swept away from time

Care of Gray Hair.

Gray hair is hard to manage. It is Wiry and this seems to make each par ticUlar hair stand on end in q most undesirable way. Therefore it re- quires more care than did the soft unstreaked brown locks. Vigorous brushing for a few minutes each day will keep the hair soft and manage. able while at the same time it pro. notes it's growth. A little scalp mas sage keeps life in it and makes ii look thicker and fluftier.

Mayors Relative Thrusts
Woman Cop Roughly Aside.

Only one untoward incident marked
the handling of the crowd at the review
ing stand. This was produced when a
man In citizens clothes, wearing one OF
the badges Of the Mayors committee,
approached three members OF the Wom-
ans Police Reserve on duty at the en-
trance to the aisle nearest the Mayors
box. They stopped him when he started
through and informed him that In
spector Dwyer had ordered them to per-
nit no one to pass through that en-
trance. They pointed to an entrance q
few feet away through which people
were passing.
''If that's your orders you go and get
them changed" the man replied. I'm
going through here"
The three women held their ground
closing the entrance and repeating that
they were acting under orders, while the
man continued to argue as II he had
never heard of orders. Finally he
seized one woman roughly by an arm
thrust her aside and burst out of the
grand stand. The woman screamed and
appealed to nearby policemen to help
her, but before any one could interfere
the breaker of orders was In a close and
whispered confab with the Mayor.
He was Detective Irving O'Hara. the
