NEEDLECRAFT IN
NEW JUNIOR HIGH
Camp Curtin Girls Develop
Domestic Spirit in New
Course

In the household arts department
of the Camp Curtin democracy. the
girl citizens are receiving in the
sewing classes instruction that is de-
veloping in them artistic economic
sense.
Under the guidance of their ex-
cellent helpers. Miss Clara Hook and
Miss Elizabeth little, the girls work
industriously and happily. Even in
these early weeks of instruction, all
parts of the equipment, the sewing
accessories, the sewing machines,
~" sewing tables, the large cutting
table, the ironing boards and cleo
trIc irons, the fitting room with its
fitting stool and oval mirror have
come into use.
Correlated with the actual use of
the materials. is the study of tex
tiles from the unprepared fiber to
the finished cloth. To direct the
girls in appropriate, artistic selec-
tion in purchasing or making their
own clothes, the phases. color, tex
ture, form and durability receive
careful study. The care, repair and
alteration of clothing and personal
hygiene will be emphasized with
these students of household econ
omy.
A delightful feature of the sewing
department is its cooperation with
other departments. The designs that
the girls draw and color in the fine
arts department are to be used in
the sewing department in learning
the art of dress designing. In an
ticipation OF the opening of the do
mestic science department tho seam
stress-students are making their
cooking uniforms and articles that
they will use in handling cooking
utensils.
A complete cooking outfit consists
of towels and panholders of towel
ing, and an apron and cap of white
longcloth, requiring both hand and
machine work in the making.
The spirit of helpfulness Is the
prettiest thought of all concerning
these home-like sewing classes OF
their own accord the students, who
through previous home training or
inherent domestic qualities, quickly
comprehend the details of instru ction
have formed a cooperative group
and are working out the economic
placing and pinning of the pattern
on the material. and cutting out and
sewing the material together. Their
self-helpfulness leaves their instruc-
tors free to assist the other group,
equally eager to have the pleasure
of wearing their dainty caps and
aprons when receiving their first
cooking lesson./

CZAR'S VISAGE WAS SACRED
Manchester Guardian1

Turning over some newspaper
cuttings" writes a correspondent,
II have just come across one dated
February, 1918, which certainly un-
derlines one of the many changes
that six short years have brought
about.
"A few days ago. says the writer
of the paragraph, the Russian post
office issued a series of special
stamps bearing the effigies of the
Romanoff czars, including that of
Nicholas II. 1t was the first time
that the czars had appeared on post
age stamps, and probably the last,
for these stamps are now to be
withdrawn.
The holy synod, sitting in SOL
emn conclave, has decided that to
strike the imerial visage with a die
in order to obliterate the stamp is
an impiety. This is something
worse than lese majestic.
Russian postofflce authorities
have had an uneasy feeling that il
was. not quite the thing, and have
been very chary in defacing the
stamps. These that have reached
this country have been defaced only
in the extreme edge"

PROHIBITION IN
BRAZIL WOULD
MEAN LITTLE
Coffee Is the National Bever-
age; Little Strong
Drink Used

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Oct. 6. -
Should prohibition ever become eff
fective in Brazil, it is probable that
few Brazilians would be greatly af-
fected by 1t. The Brazilian appar-
entity does not care for strong drink.
Coffee is the national beverage
and the coffee shops are among the
interesting sights of the city. They
are to be found everywhere, but are
especially numerous in the down
town section and along the princi-
pal avenues.
The shops are on the street floor,
are wide open and contain numer-
Gus small tables. Excellent coffee,
generally black and strong, is
served in tiny cups at the uniform
price equivalent to about ga cents
q cup.
1t is in these shops and while sip
ping their coffee that many Brazil
ians discuss business or social af-
fairs, and also watch the passing
throngs. Many of the shops remain
open all night and are well patron
ized. In fact some of them contain
more patrons at a. M. than at any
other time. Nearly all of the coffee
shops carry an abundant stock of
alcoholic liquors. but there is little
call for it.
